Chapter 206 Why is Quirrell still alive?

"We just went and talked to Hagrid for a while. Do you know who Nicolas Flamel is?"

In the Gryffindor common room, Ron never expected that Hermione would give them such a big surprise just after he and Harry came back.

"Which book did you find it in?" Harry asked.

"On Dumbledore's chocolate frog card!"

Hermione said angrily: "You two talk about how many cards you have collected every day, but no one knows!"

Hearing what Hermione said, Harry was slightly startled and suddenly took a breath of cold air. No wonder he always felt that he had seen this name somewhere, and now he remembered it, it was on the train.

Dumbledore was the first card he collected.

"Plus, I found this."

Hermione took out another thick, old book and began to flip the pages quickly in front of the two of them.

"Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone!"

"What stone?" Harry and Ron asked at the same time.

"Oh, what's going on? Don't you two usually read... read it yourself!"

Hermione pushed the book towards them and continued: "I bet that big dog must be guarding the Philosopher's Stone.

Harry and Ron were like two novices who were taken down the dungeon by a max-level boss. They had just finished reading the guide given by the boss, but when they looked up, they found that they had already cleared the level.

Not only did Hermione find Nicolas Flamel, she even guessed what was hidden under the trap door.

The Philosopher's Stone... No wonder Snape was interested in it.

A stone can turn gold and make people immortal. No matter who it is, they will want it.

"What about you two..." Hermione closed the book, "Did Hagrid tell you what happened yesterday?"

"No." Ron shook his head in frustration: "Hagrid refused to say, and no matter how we asked, he didn't reveal any information."

"But we found that Hagrid seemed to be injured." Harry thought for a moment and said, "There is a bottle of white essence in his house. I remember learning about it in herbal medicine class. It is a special medicine used to treat wounds."

"White essence?"

Hermione frowned. In this case, the reason why Hagrid went to the school hospital was not to help Madam Pomfrey, but to be injured.

What she thought before was correct, Hagrid must be related to what happened yesterday.

"How about we ask Kyle again." Ron suggested.

"It's useless." Hermione shook her head and said, "If he wanted to tell us, he would have told us before. Besides, you shouldn't think that he would spill the beans like Hagrid."

"Hermione is right." Harry nodded in agreement. He didn't really want to go to Kyle.

Mainly because of Quidditch.

Since Slytherin's upset loss to Ravenclaw, it has lost the possibility of competing for the championship.

Ravenclaw also received zero seals in the first game, so even if they won, the score would not be high.

So the next game between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor is crucial. Whoever wins can seal the victory in advance.

In this case, in just one afternoon, the relationship between the two colleges quickly dropped to a freezing point, and Harris and Wood almost came to blows in the corridor.

At this time, even if they go to Kyle, the other party may not pay attention to them.

Harry didn't want to be unhappy.

Seeing that both of them objected, Ron had no choice but to give up.

…

When class came the next day, everyone saw Professor Quirrell again.

Apparently, he didn't contribute to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's curse, as most suspected.

This made many people very disappointed.

They had thought that if there were no professors, the final exams might be cancelled.

However, some people noticed that Professor Quirrell's arm was injured again, with a thick bandage on his wrist, and his face was paler than before.

He explained that the injury was caused by falling down the stairs in a hurry two days ago.

Many people felt a sense of regret again...

Kyle clearly heard a Slytherin next to him saying faintly: "The atmosphere is already here, why did you just break your arm..."

I don't know if it was because of his injury, but Professor Quirrell didn't even bring his "teaching assistant" with him this time, and gave everyone a standard reading class. Those who didn't know better thought they were taking the History of Magic.

That's not right... Professor Binns would at least read the lengthy content himself, but Professor Quirrell asked the students to read it themselves, and he himself sat on the podium until the end of class, and seemed to have slept during the period.

The faces of the little wizards who were in class below didn't look very good.

Who doesn't know how to study? This salary is too comfortable. If there is a professor's showdown competition at Hogwarts, Quirrell will definitely become a well-deserved champion.

Even if he replaced a swallow-tailed dog as a professor, he couldn't do any worse. I really don't know why Dumbledore hasn't fired him yet.

If Defense Against the Dark Arts was just getting boring, Potions was torture for Kyle.

It seemed that he was trying to vent his dissatisfaction with losing the game, or maybe he wanted to transfer the pain to Kyle. In short, Snape's attitude towards him became even worse.

The points deducted each time have also increased to a starting point of five points, with no upper limit.

Although these scores would later be added back through Kangna for various reasons, Kyle was still so angry that he wanted to slam Mikel's crucible on his head more than once.

As for why he didn't take his own... that's because the potions he brewed were all standard potions. Even if he took Snape's head, it wouldn't cause much damage, and he could solve it easily.

But Mikel's was different. His potion belonged to Schrödinger. Before leaving the crucible, no one knew what effect it would have, and it was difficult to find a corresponding solution.

Harry had the same experience as Kyle. He was also targeted by Snape, but the points deducted were not as many.

Moreover, after hearing about Kyle's experience from others, Harry's bad mood suddenly improved a lot. Even when he met Snape outside the Potions classroom, he remained calm. few.

"Fred and George are right." During a game of wizard chess, Harry said easily: "It seems that Snape does hate Kyle more."

"According to what you said, we are likely to win the game?" Ron was also a little excited.

It would be great for Gryffindor if Snape could keep causing trouble for Hufflepuff.

"Ron, don't say that." Harry commanded the knights to capture a pawn and vowed: "Even if Snape hadn't been the referee, we would have won!"
