Chapter 40 The End

Brian played with the bright red stone in his hand.

It is a slightly transparent bright red as a whole, as if it is filled with rich blood.

Brian held it and seemed to be able to feel a strange pulse, like the beating of a heart.

This magic stone looks like an ordinary red stone, but when you put your eyes on it, it has a strange magical power that makes people unable to take their eyes away.

Brian recalled the information about the Philosopher's Stone, which was able to turn stone into gold and create a potion of immortality.

He suddenly wanted to take the Philosopher's Stone back and study it. After all, it represented the highest achievement of alchemy, but his reason told him that he couldn't.

Maybe Dumbledore would have some weird magic to find it, but Brian didn't want to completely expose himself to Dumbledore.

"This incident was too sudden, and there was no time to prepare in a hurry." Brian shook his head. If he really took the Philosopher's Stone, if Dumbledore was determined to look for it, maybe a dog could find him by following the scent.

He looked at the Philosopher's Stone, but obviously, he couldn't see anything as he had never even started alchemy.

Brian walked up to Harry and decided to put it in Harry's pocket.

"Huh? Wait a minute." Brian suddenly paused. He remembered how the Philosopher's Stone worked.

"You only need to put the magic stone into water and soak it for a while to get the most important raw material for the potion of immortality."

Brian took out a notebook from his pocket and used transfiguration to turn it into a bottle with a lid.

"Pure water is like a spring." He filled it with clean water.

Then, Brian dipped the magic stone into it and waited for a moment.

The water in the cup gradually began to turn red, and bubbles appeared as if it were boiling. Soon, the water in the bottle turned bright red and gradually calmed down.

"It's like the color of a stone fading." Brian commented lightly and took out the magic stone. It is still bright red and has not faded at all.

Next, Brian did it again. Soon, there were more than a dozen bottles of various sizes in front of him, filled with bright red liquid.

Brian found the bag with the infinite extension spell cast on it from Quirrell's robe. After casting several cleaning spells on it inside and out, he put all the bottles in it.

"These should be enough for me to study." Brian touched his chin, then wiped the Sorcerer's Stone clean and stuffed it into Harry's pocket.

"Okay, I should go back." Brian looked back at the Mirror of Erised one last time, then turned and walked through the door he came from.

"Good luck, Harry Potter."

He put on the invisibility cloak, cleaned up his traces along the way, and returned to the castle along the original path.

The journey back went unexpectedly smoothly without any obstacles.

In the wizard's chess room, Brian saw Ron unconscious with a big bump on his head.

Beneath the trapdoor, the devil's net wrapped around his waist and rose, sending him back through the trapdoor.

"Defend from the outside but not from the inside? What a strange way of thinking..." Brian couldn't figure out Dumbledore's way of thinking, so he had to convince himself that this was a level-breaking game set up for the Saviors.

Of course, the three-headed Lu Wei didn't care where he came from, he would pounce upon Brian if he smelled his scent.

Brian picked up the harp on the side with a quick movement, played a soothing song, and made it fall asleep.

Finally, he closed the outermost door and breathed a sigh of relief.

He saw the Malfoys lying stiffly in a row on the ground, their eyes darting around in panic, and he couldn't help but laugh or cry.

"I asked you to find Snape, but you found Filch instead... He's a squib..." Brian thought angrily and ignored him.

He walked back quietly with his invisibility cloak on, and met Hermione and Professor McGonagall at the stairs of the third floor.

"Oh, how could you... Someone broke in there, you should tell me..." Professor McGonagall ran quickly, her face turned pale with fright, and her tone of voice was trembling slightly.

"How could you break in alone... If something happens... Oh, no..." Mag looked a little out of control for the first time.

"We wanted to tell Dumbledore, but we couldn't find him..." Hermione explained breathlessly.

"Dumbledore went to the American Wizards Association... He received a letter saying that there was a big problem there and he needed to go over there to solve it." McGonagall said with a heavy nasal voice.

"..."

Brian stood quietly aside, watching the two figures gradually disappear at the end of the corridor.

He returned to the common room and sat quietly in front of the fireplace, sorting out the potions he had stored.

[Witness and participate in the trapdoor incident, witness points +2×2]

The sound of the system was like the most pleasant music, which made Brian couldn't help but smile.

He got a full 4 witness points, and he swore he hadn't seen so many witness points all year.

He now has a total of 4.1 witness points.

The Malfoy trio returned soon after, and Professor McGonagall had apparently broken their binding spell.

"Damn Mudblood, she dared to cast a curse on me!" Malfoy said with a disgusting expression, "And she dared to attack Filch, this time they will definitely be kicked out of Hogwarts!"

"I'm going to write a letter to dad tomorrow and ask him to kick Potter and the others out of school." Malfoy stared at Brian and said, "You also have to write to your dad. We have to keep Potter and the others out of here. Get down!"

"Okay, but... it's impossible for Dumbledore to agree." Brian paused and said.

"Why? Even if he is the principal, he can't suppress this matter!" Malfoy looked unhappy.

"Because they wanted to break into that corridor for a reason." Brian said calmly.

"They didn't hurt you, but they did do something important..." He looked into Malfoy's eyes and said, "important enough to offset the punishment and get a reward."

"You know?" Malfoy stared at him.

Brian pondered for a moment, but decided to tell him briefly.

"There is a trap door in that corridor, and there are checkpoints set up by Dumbledore and professors from various subjects in order to protect the Sorcerer's Stone inside." Brian said concisely and concisely, "The Sorcerer's Stone can turn stone into gold and make the elixir of life. "

"Obviously, someone in Hogwarts wants it, and Potter and the others are going to stop that person."

"How did you know?" Malfoy was a little doubtful and shocked.

"Listen more and watch more. Of course, I will always have some special channels." Brian smiled mysteriously, "If you pay more attention, you can also find some doubts."

"Really?" Malfoy said to himself with some disbelief, "Then who wants to get the Sorcerer's Stone?"

"Obviously, it's Professor Quirrell." Brian said the answer in his calm voice.

"What? That loser Quirrell?" Malfoy's expression collapsed, and he grinned like you were kidding me.

"Qi Luo usually behaves in disguise. In fact, he is obeying the Dark Lord. He was also the one who hunted unicorns in the Forbidden Forest that night."

Malfoy opened his mouth slightly, obviously unable to react to the barrage of truths.

"The Dark Lord?" Malfoy said with a slightly frightened and yearning expression.

"Yes, the Dark Lord is not dead. He is plotting to come back." Brian's expression became serious, although this beautiful appearance made him look less convincing.

"Tonight, Quirrell found me because I discovered part of his conspiracy, so he wanted to threaten me." Brian reluctantly told a lame lie, "Then he let me go and kidnapped Long. Barton and Hufflepuff’s Finlay.”

Malfoy nodded, believing Brian's words. He was sure that Quirrell would not dare to hurt Brian because his family was as rich and powerful as his own.

"So, if Potter is still alive tonight, there is no doubt that he will become a hero." Brian said, "Once again, he stopped the Dark Lord's conspiracy and saved two classmates. What a great deed."

Malfoy gritted his teeth and said: "Then he must be alive... Does he dare to stop the Dark Lord?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? We could have prevented him from being in the limelight!" Malfoy suddenly thought of this.

"Actually, I told you, in that book." Brian said angrily, "As long as you find Professor Snape, you can ask him to stop Potter and save me from possible danger. But you found Filch..."

Malfoy's pale cheeks turned red, and he murmured in a low voice: "The dean is not in his office. We waited for a long time and had to go find Filch. We didn't expect him to be so useless..."

"So, if Potter fails tonight, the Dark Lord can make a comeback?" He quickly put aside his guilt and said excitedly.

"So?" Brian stared into his gray eyes seriously, "Do you really think this is a good thing?"

"Isn't it?" Malfoy asked. He had always had an innocent admiration for the Dark Lord.

"Of course not, Draco, you may not understand the cruelty of the Dark Lord's rule." Brian looked at him deeply and said, "At least, now our father absolutely does not want him to return."

"Because they did things after the Dark Lord's fall that annoyed the Dark Lord."

"But the Dark Lord needs us and needs the support of your family and my family!"

"Yeah, so, we won't be killed by him, but it's not much better. We are just servants to the Dark Lord."

"servant?"

"Yes, he rules us with fear, just like you treat those house elves in your family!" Brian gave an example that he could understand immediately.

Malfoy pursed his lips and said, "That's really bad."

"Well, I kind of hope that Potter dies tonight." He said arrogantly, "because I will slowly punish him in the future."
