Chapter 170 Afterwards

A golden object flashed above his head. Harry opened his eyes. For the first moment, he thought it was a snitch and immediately reached out to grab it, but his arms were too heavy to lift it up.

He blinked, and it turned out that it was not a snitch at all, but a pair of glasses. How strange.

He blinked again, Dumbledore's face slowly appeared in front of Harry, and his consciousness completely returned.

"Good afternoon, Harry," said Dumbledore.

Harry stared at him blankly at first, then suddenly remembered: "Headmaster! The Philosopher's Stone! It's Quirrell! He got the Philosopher's Stone, hurry up -"

"Don't get excited, dear boy, what you said is a bit outdated," said Dumbledore, "Quirrell did not get the Philosopher's Stone."

…

On the other side, Lin Xia, Draco and Mikel woke up in another ward.

After Lin Xia woke up, she first observed the surrounding environment, then got out of bed and went to the window.

It is a sunny afternoon, and some little wizards are chatting and having a picnic in the grass outside.

Lin Xia was slightly relieved. Fortunately, the moment she opened her eyes, she was not in a cell. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to escape.

She turned her head and scanned the surrounding environment. This was the school's infirmary. She had been here before when she visited Harry.

"Oh, kid, you're awake. How do you feel?" Madam Pomfrey came in from outside, holding various strangely colored potion bottles in her hands.

Lin Xia shook his head, "I'm fine, but the other two people are fine. Are they fine?"

"It's okay. Just like you, they all lost their strength and passed out."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Madam, who sent us here?"

Madam Pomfrey said: "Dumbledore sent you here, and Harry was also sent here, but his condition is more serious than yours."

Lin Xia: "Can I go visit him?"

"Let him rest for now."

After a while, Draco also woke up and accepted some questioning from Madam Pomfrey.

Immediately afterwards, Mikel also woke up. He looked a little panicked and his face was frightened.

Madam Pomfrey immediately comforted him and said: "Don't worry, children, you are out of danger. I know your heroic deeds, and I believe Dumbledore will praise you."

Mikel smiled hypocritically and asked: "Madam, can I leave?"

Madam Pomfrey frowned: "You are still a little weak, you can stay in the infirmary overnight."

Mikel insisted: "But madam, I'm afraid of going to the hospital. I want to go back to the dormitory and have a good rest."

Lin Xia and Draco watched silently and did not speak. After Mikel left, they left in the same manner.

After leaving the infirmary and reaching the grass outside Hogwarts, the uneasiness in Mikel's heart eased a lot.

He turned his head and asked probingly: "Why did you appear in the restricted area at that time?"

Lin Xia said calmly: "I should ask you this. Why did you appear in the restricted area?"

Draco immediately said: "Yes, Harry told us about the restricted area. We were worried that he would be in danger, so we asked the prefects and others to come together. What about you, why did you get in faster than us? ?”

Draco paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "Don't you know something? Did you know that Harry would break into the restricted area for a long time, so you specifically showed up in the restricted area that day?"

Mikel's heart skipped a beat, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"No, I woke up in the middle of the night and didn't hear Harry and Ron snoring. I lifted the bed curtain and took a look and found that neither of them were there. I was worried that something would happen to them, so I ran to the common room.

I happened to meet Neville who was petrified. After I rescued him, Neville told me that they were going to the restricted area. Neville was anxious to stop them. I was also worried about Harry, and even more worried about Neville who was going to the restricted area. , so I simply went with him. "

Lin Xia said at this time: "It seems that we all have reasons to be there, but Mikel, I feel very tired now and want to go back to the dormitory to rest. If you have nothing to do, I will leave first."

Mikel stopped Lin Xia, "No, I have something to do."

He stared at Lin Xia closely and said slightly nervously: "I just want to ask if there is any wizard coming at the end of the restricted area. I, I seem to have seen it..."

Lin Xia gave him a strange look: "Here comes Principal Dumbledore. Why, did you forget?"

Mikel: "Do you also remember Principal Dumbledore?"

Lin Xia: "Of course I remember. If the principal hadn't appeared, we wouldn't have known what to do with those magic stones that we didn't know were real or fake... No, do you really have no impression of anything?"

Mikel was in a daze, ignored Lin Xia, and left the grass in a daze.

Draco said dissatisfied: "It's so rude. Who stopped who first? They asked us questions confidently and didn't answer our questions!"

Lin Xia said meaningfully: "Maybe he is thinking about something more important."

When the two returned to Hogwarts, they did not return to the common room, but came to the laboratory.

Speaking of which, their laboratory spent thousands of galleons to upgrade the security system. In terms of rigor and security, it is no less stringent and safe than the public room, and it is also more convenient for Lin Xia and others to move around.

In the laboratory.

As soon as Lin Xia closed the door, she activated the defensive formation. Draco skillfully cast a Confusion Charm around her, and Lin Xia followed suit.

Then, she used the Sense Charm to enhance her five senses.

In the restricted area, after meeting Voldemort, Lin Xia had been using the Sense Charm, so she noticed Dumbledore's arrival and immediately let the golden pocket watch in her arms hypnotize her.

Maybe she was the owner of the golden pocket watch, so the magic object could not have a permanent effect on her hypnosis, but only temporarily hypnotize her mind.

But it was only a short few hours, which was enough for Lin Xia.

Draco said solemnly: "Lin Xia, after I woke up, I found that the amulet hanging around my neck was damaged, but my protective ring was still open and not damaged. Does this mean that Deng--"

Lin Xia suddenly interrupted: "Draco, silence! Let's not say his name."

She said thoughtfully: "The protective amulet on your neck is specifically for defending against mental attacks and invasions, and your protective ring can also defend against mental means. The ring is not damaged, so it should have been defended."

Draco thought of what Lin Xia had told him before, and he was slightly relieved. It seems that his secret was protected.

He looked at Lin Xia, "What about you, did you resist Legilimency?"

Lin Xia shook her head and smiled slightly: "I don't need to defend, everything in my mind is real."

Draco said with some regret: "It's a pity for the Philosopher's Stone, which is an item that can make people immortal, but it was all destroyed."

Lin Xia did not comment. She had a hunch that the Philosopher's Stone should be hidden in the Forbidden Forest.

Voldemort would not give up the Philosopher's Stone so easily.
