Chapter 246 He Dare Not Come While You Are Here

Snape…

It made Lily feel a little strange.

At this moment, Lily's ghost could even clearly see from Snape's words what he had experienced in these years...

Maybe Peter Pettigrew threatened him?

Lily didn't quite understand. She couldn't change Snape's mind and could only watch Snape leave alone with his wand.

When Snape walked out of the castle underground, his eyes turned slightly to the side, glanced at the glowing ghost in the distance, then turned and walked into the darkness.

Corridor on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Candles were lit in rows on both sides of the corridor.

With the candlelight lighting up, a man wearing a hooded cloak walked out from the depths with his head held high, and the cloak on his body spread out involuntarily.

This man left a long shadow behind him, which seemed to cast everything behind him into darkness. .

"Meow…"

A kitten couldn't help but screamed out in fright.

This kitten was Filch's pet. The kitten glanced at the man walking in the distance in panic, and hurriedly wanted to find its owner.

"Um?"

Filch, who was patrolling with an oil lamp, heard the cat's meow and wanted to come back to investigate, but a petrification spell hit him directly in the body!

Filch's body immediately fell to the ground stiffly!

The kitten looked at its owner who fell to the ground in horror, and screamed in panic, hoping that its owner would quickly stand up to protect it: "Meow...meow...meow...meow..."

"..."

The man in a black robe and cloak frowned slightly as he walked over. He glanced at the cat, which stretched out its paws and meowed softly, and raised the wand in his hand.

The kitten was instantly struck by the petrification spell and lay stiffly next to its owner!

next moment.

The man slowly lowered his body, bent down and took away Filch's oil lamp. He covered his hood and slowly walked towards the stairs of the castle with the oil lamp in hand.

the other side.

The secret chamber of the Philosopher's Stone.

Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione are already here.

The three little guys successfully used music to hypnotize the three-headed dog Lu Wei. They hurriedly opened the wooden board next to the three-headed dog and looked at the dark underground with some confusion.

"Do you want to jump?"

Ron's face was a little hesitant, and his little face was about to wrinkle together in confusion: "I feel like I will be thrown badly if I jump..."

"..."

Hermione Granger frowned and said nothing, as if she was thinking of some solution. After all, she couldn't see clearly what was going on below.

Harry Potter was very courageous, but he was still a little uneasy when facing such an unknown hole: "How about we find a ladder or a rope first?"

"If you delay too long, the big dog may wake up..."

Ron glanced at the three-headed dog sleeping soundly behind him. He looked at the three huge heads and shrank back in fear.

However…

Soon they could no longer hesitate.

A stone was accidentally stepped on and thrown down.

The sound of the stone falling to the ground seemed a bit dull, as if it had hit something. The next moment, a green vine suddenly stretched out from the hole!

This vine came so suddenly that it tied up Hermione Granger and immediately dragged the little girl down!

"Hermione!"

"Hermione!"

Harry and Ron's faces immediately became frightened!

If your little friend is stuck here, you can't give up on her no matter what, especially since Hermione is still a girl!

the most important is!

Hermione is the smartest of the three!

However, Harry and Ron soon had no choice but to hesitate. They gritted their teeth and jumped directly from here. They had to save people!

"Ahhhhh..."

The screams of the little wizards echoed at the entrance of the secret room, immediately waking up the sleeping three-headed dog, causing the big dog to howl!

fortunately.

A burst of harp sound suddenly came over.

The three-headed dog who had just woken up was hypnotized by the music again.

A man wrapped in a turban walked in cautiously. He reached out and placed his harp next to him, looking at the hole with some uneasiness.

The second level…

It shouldn't be too difficult...

While the man was still curious, the voices of the little wizards calling for help came from the cave: "Help! Help us!"

"It's just a devil's net..."

The man frowned and his face became obviously impatient, because he didn't think the devil's net could cause any trouble to people.

Any student who has taken serious classes...

Everyone should know the nemesis of Devil's Net.

"Help!"

"Help!"

"Stop screaming, save your energy and think of a solution first!"

Hermione Granger's voice came from beneath the cave entrance.

Ron Weasley still stubbornly shouted for help: "How do you think of a way? There is no way at all! Help! Hurry and help!"

"Help!!"

Harry couldn't help but shout a few times to his friends.

What a joke!

Can't these little guys even solve the devil's trap?

The man couldn't help but hesitate, and he couldn't help but whispered: "Master, what should we do? Wait a little longer?"

"Go and save people immediately!"

A dull and dark voice appeared in the man's brain: "Help them get to the end, but... don't arouse the suspicion of that brat Harry Potter!"

"yes…"

The man immediately jumped into the air!

It's just a devil's net, it's not difficult at all...

However, when he jumped, he realized that there was no devil's net at all, and he fell firmly to the ground!

When he falls down...

Only then did he see clearly what was going on here.

A group of devil's nets were hiding in the corner, with several vines growing on the stone floor, tying up Harry Potter and the little guys!

"Professor Quirrell!"

When Harry Potter saw the man, he seemed to have seen a savior, and said with surprise on his face: "Why are you here!"

Compared to Harry's surprise, Ron Weasley was more straightforward. When he saw Professor Quirrell, he immediately thought he was saved!

"Professor, please save us!"

The whole cave looked empty.

Only some very strong vines grew inexplicably around the little wizards, which tied them in place and prevented them from moving. If they struggled even a little, they would be tied even tighter.

"Don't...don't be anxious..."

Professor Quirrell stammered and smiled and was about to walk towards them!

"Don't! Don't move!"

Hermione Granger screamed at him to stop!

However, her reminder was too late, it was too late!

When Professor Quirrell took the first step and stepped on it, it was as if he had stepped on some mechanism on the ground. A thick vine suddenly grew out and tied up his body!

"There are traps everywhere!"

Hermione Granger was the first to fall. She saw Harry and Ron stepping on the floor and being trapped by vines. She explained seriously: "As long as you step on the ground, vines will grow on the ground." Tie people up!”

"..."

You little girl, why didn’t you tell me earlier?

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Professor Quirrell's forehead. His body was tightly tied with vines, and it was difficult to struggle even slightly!

What the hell kind of plant is this!

Why haven't I heard Professor Sprout mention it?

Apparently.

This is no longer the original trap.

Because after someone visited the secret room, in order to ensure that everything on this day was under his control, he secretly modified the secret room a little.

No devil's net here.

There are only densely packed [Thorn Demon Seeds] arranged by someone.

Whenever someone steps on a seed, the seed immediately grows into a thick vine, trapping the person firmly in place. This is a brand-new magic that no one has ever seen before!

at the same time.

These vines can also provide long-range vision, allowing the mastermind who secretly transformed the secret room to clearly observe everything here through the vines.

"Professor, why are you here?"

Hermione Granger couldn't help but look at Quirrell in surprise.

"I...I'm worried..."

A flash of fear flashed across Professor Quirrell's face. While he tried to struggle out, he said in a low voice: "I want... I want... to stop Snape... he... he might be here soon... soon!"

These rhetoric…

It must be enough to deceive Harry!

Even though Hermione was a little surprised by his actions, she didn't really want to doubt this teacher who had always been very friendly to Harry and Gryffindor. Before she could think seriously, she was directly hit by Harry Potter's voice. broken!

"Then we have to hurry up!"

Harry Potter struggled nervously and said hastily: "If Snape comes, we will be doomed!"

"Wait, don't move!"

Hermione Granger quickly stopped thinking and seriously reminded her friend: "Harry, the more you struggle, the tighter they get! Think about what kind of plant this is..."

"Yep…"

Professor Quirrell nodded quickly following the little girl's words.

However…

An adult and three little wizards soon started staring at each other.

The three little wizards looked at each other, and they all saw ignorance in each other's eyes. Even Hermione, who had the best grades, had never seen this kind of plant...

certainly.

There is another adult here!

Whether it was Harry, Ron or Hermione, they all looked at Quirrell with hope, expecting this knowledgeable professor to find answers and solutions for them.

"Me too...I haven't seen it either..."

There was a trace of embarrassment on Quirrell's face. He looked at the lost eyes of the three little guys, gritted his teeth and said, "But...but there should be a solution..."

After that!

Professor Quirrell snapped his fingers!

The vines on his body burst open, and juices flew everywhere, but the vines also struggled violently as if they were trying to strangle him!

This is really...

It’s a bit scary!

However this method seems to be quite effective!

When Quirrell cast the crushing spell without a staff, the tangled vines on his body twisted violently for a moment, and quickly detached from his body as if he had been severely injured!

"..."

It seems to really work.

A flash of relief suddenly flashed across Quirrell's face.

After seeing Quirrell break away from the vines easily, Harry Potter and the other little guys immediately became relaxed, and their crisis was finally resolved.

Second level.

It seems to pass.

Next, they only need to waste a little time to clear the vines of the trap before they can lead to the next level.

Harry Potter was very excited.

Because the presence of Professor Quirrell beside them obviously made their adventure safer.

In particular, the professor did not blame them for their violations at all, and even comforted him: "Harry... you... you are an excellent child... when will I... deduct points from you! I think... Dumbledore... I'll definitely give you extra points for helping stop Snape!"

Compared to Snape who always loses points...

Professor Quirrell, who often gave them extra points, was simply not too friendly.

However…

What the group failed to notice was.

When they walked somewhere, a small vine plant quietly grew out of a corner of the wall, as if catalyzed by something, watching their every move.

No one cared about it.

Because the lonely vines growing in the corners are like embellishing the scenery.

the other side.

The entrance to the Philosopher's Stone Chamber of Secrets.

Dumbledore stood at the entrance of the underground hole, frowning slightly. He slowly stretched out his hand to hold the hole, wanting to jump down and continue to monitor what was going on inside.

However.

A hand suddenly appeared and reached out to grab him.

Dumbledore raised his head in surprise and saw a familiar figure: "Gellert..."

"There is no way."

Grindelwald chuckled, stretched out his hand to pull Dumbledore up: "This is the price, one of the prices for allowing Ariana's soul to appear... Peter is worried that if he cannot kill the resurrected madman, I will help …”

finally…

Came here.

The phoenix on his shoulder kept urging him all the way, and Grindelwald had to use a chess piece, portkey and floo powder to rush over.

"..."

Dumbledore's eyes twitched.

So that’s what happened…

Is this what Peter Pettigrew planned?

Once you really can't beat him, will you let Grindelwald help? No wonder he had the guts to challenge Voldemort! How can two Dark Lords defeat one Dark Lord?

"He specially sent me a letter asking me to come over."

Grindelwald grabbed Dumbledore's wrist, raised his eyebrows, winked at him, and whispered: "Let them kill each other first... let's finish it later."

"There are still a few children down there..."

Dumbledore frowned.

"This is a necessary sacrifice!"

Grindelwald used his own tricks again. The Dark Lord persuaded softly: "If you were here, that guy Peter might not dare to show up. This is a rare opportunity! If they kill each other, I I also want to take advantage of the opportunity to kill them and let us stabilize for a while..."

"Albus!"

Grindelwald grabbed Dumbledore's wrist tightly, and his voice suddenly dropped: "For the greater good!"

"Gellert!"

Dumbledore's beard was shaking with anger!

"Alright alright…"

Grindelwald seemed to understand that Dumbledore would retort, so he changed his words and said: "I know, the kid below is Harry Potter's damn brat, right? I knew you must protect that brat..."

"There are two other children..."

Dumbledore looked at his old friend helplessly and earnestly persuaded: "Gellert, you should stop killing those innocent children. He will become a new hero tonight..."

Grindelwald couldn't help laughing, shook his head and asked: "Haha, are you manipulating me to become a new hero? Just like that idiot Scamander?"
