Chapter 21

It was a Dumbledore wizard card. Harry turned the card over.

Just when he thought it was just John not wanting it, his eyes were fixed on the small words on the card.

"Ron, Hermione, look!"

Harry gasped, his voice trembling slightly.

Ron and Hermione came over to take a look, and were both struck by this sudden surprise.

“Fantastic alchemy with partner Nico Flamel!”

"I knew it, I've seen this name before!"

Harry was very excited. The progress that had been paused for a long time finally reached a critical step.

The three little ones were particularly excited, and Hermione even jumped up.

Suddenly, Hermione thought of something.

Looking at the alchemy above, she said: "No wonder, no wonder John reads books on alchemy. It turns out he already knew it!"

After saying that, Hermione ran upstairs and took out a huge old book from the girls' dormitory.

Looking through old books, they finally found information about Nico Flamel.

And learned about the Philosopher's Stone.

Chapter 24 Peeves and Vasivasi

"John!"

Hermione came angrily, accompanied by Harry and Ron, and John was a little confused.

Hermione, who was a little angry, raised her voice a lot and said, "Did you know about Nico Flamel?"

"That's right." John's magnanimous look surprised the three little ones.

Harry asked in confusion: "Since you know, why don't you tell us? We have been looking for it for a long time."

John said unexpectedly: "I told you, you didn't discover the wizard card until now, right?"

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment, and the three people who originally wanted to launch an attack to accuse him were suppressed.

Ron still wanted to struggle and muttered: "You can stop being so vague and tell us the answer from the beginning."

Hearing this, John's expression became serious, which made Ron think that he had said the wrong thing and lowered his head with some guilt.

John said earnestly: "Ron, the answer you are told will never be as meaningful as what you are looking for. On the way to find the answer, you will not only gain the answer but also more other knowledge."

The three little ones heard it too, especially Harry, who was terrible at History of Magic, and could now answer questions very well.

They felt that they had wrongly blamed John. Hermione apologized: "I'm sorry John, we shouldn't doubt you."

"It's okay, but what happens when you find out about Nico Flamel?"

John glanced at Harry who was hesitant to speak and said, "Don't you suspect that Professor Snape wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone?"

Harry smiled coquettishly when someone told him what he was thinking.

After all, it's not a good idea to tell people in Slytherin that their dean is a thief.

John was helpless and sighed: "The Philosopher's Stone is not as good as you think. It is true that it is the highest crystallization of alchemy and can refine the elixir of life, but it is only a theoretical immortality."

"The physical consumption, the emotional drain, every bit of it will be consumed over time."

"Professor Snape is a master of potions. He knows these shortcomings and will not be short of money."

"What reason do you think he has for stealing the Philosopher's Stone?"

His words made sense, and Harry opened his mouth but was speechless.

Ron thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he wanted to give it to the mysterious man."

Good guy.

I'm afraid your kid didn't read the script, right?

John's body trembled and he looked at Ron in disbelief.

You know that Voldemort is not dead, but have you also traveled through time?

Ron looked a little embarrassed and whispered: "I heard that many of the mysterious man's subordinates are Slytherins."

After Voldemort's fall, many Death Eaters claimed that Voldemort had used the Imperius Curse.

It was no secret to some wizards that Snape was a Death Eater, and he was once bailed out by Dumbledore.

John was speechless, and Ron was confused a little. If Voldemort hadn't taken action against Harry's family, maybe Snape would still be a Death Eater, but it was absolutely impossible now.

"No way, Ron, you have to be careful what you say, after all, he is the head of Slytherin."

After telling Ron to stop saying this casually, John finally fooled the three of them.

Time seems to have become calmer.

John spent more time studying with Quirrell.

Of course, he has not forgotten his mission of patrolling the Forbidden Forest.

After the Acromantula attack on John, Hagrid had less trust in the children of Aragog.

He warned John to be careful of spiders, which John also took precautions against.

He found a spell to deal with spiders from the library, which could be used to save his life.

Putting his time into practice, John went to class and read during the day, and at night he had to train and patrol the Forbidden Forest, as well as study with Quirrell.

This made his time tense. If it weren't for the sleepless man, John would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Even this made him feel inadequate.

This day he was going to the Quidditch pitch.

Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff, if Hermione hadn't reminded him, John wouldn't have known about it.

It was a rare moment to relax. As John was about to pass by in the corridor, he heard the sound of things being smashed.

First year students and Hufflepuff students wearing Slytherin clothes were stoned from behind by Peeves.

"Peeves stop it."

"Little wizard, little wizard."

Peeves is not afraid of anyone except the Hogwarts professors and Bloody Barrow.

With no intention of stopping, John saw his classmate Daphne Greengrass being hit by Peeves' stone.

"Peeves, you are too presumptuous."

Peeves heard the sound and thought it was a professor, but instead he saw a little Slytherin wizard.

"It's you, I remember you, John Wick."

Peeves laughed and made faces, not taking John to heart at all.

John frowned and helped up Daphne Greengrass who was hit.

The blond-haired girl didn't expect that it would be John who stood up for her. After all, this boy had a bad reputation in Slytherin.

"Thank you." The eldest lady of the pure-blood family became shy when she saw that perfect face.

John stopped Peeves, with a dangerous look in his eyes, and said in a bad tone: "Peeves, you should be punished for this."

"punish?"

Peeves sneered and threw the stone at John.

Daphne Greengrass was hit just now and couldn't help but close her eyes.

John took out his wand calmly, as gracefully as a symphony conductor's baton.

“Waddiwasi”

The flying stone seemed to hit a net, flew back towards Peeves, and directly knocked Peeves down.

John didn't stop and continued to cast the spell.

“Wingardium Leviosa”

“Waddiwasi”

With the cooperation of the two magic spells, the stones scattered on the ground chased Peeves and smashed them.

Peeves howled as he was hit, and was driven away with his head covered in bruises.

This scene made the students being chased cheer. John glanced at Daphne, who was still hiding behind him, and said with a smile, "It's okay. Do you need to go to the school hospital?"

John taught Peeves a lesson, which made him feel like a hero.

The Slytherin students have also changed their view of him. This is a person who will stand up for his classmates.

Daphne is a very proud girl, but now, she has changed her mind about John.

"sorry to bother you."

He lowered his voice as if he was shy, but couldn't help but look at John secretly.

John glanced outside, well, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to catch up with Quidditch this time.

Taking the injured students to the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey was very busy.

The students had suffered from Peeves' evil behavior for a long time. It was rare for a student to teach Peeves a lesson. The news soon spread through the entire school through word of mouth.

…

The Quidditch match is over.

Ron held his nose while Neville was carried to the school hospital.

Malfoy and his followers Goyle and Crabbe each had panda eyes and glared at Gryffindor across the long Hufflepuff table.

"Damn it, that damn Weasley, he sneaked up on me."

Malfoy was furious. While watching the game, he and Ron had a conflict. The two of them struggled, and Neville and Goyle joined in behind.

As for Harry, he disappeared after the celebration.

However, this does not prevent Malfoy from hating Gryffindor.

John was speechless, shook his head and said, "Malfoy, you didn't win three against two."

These words made Malfoy blush and said fiercely: "If I use a wand, I can beat twelve Weasleys and Longbottoms!"

John would be a fool to believe him.

I closed the book and it was completely dark.

John will also go to the Room of Requirement for training, and will later patrol the Forbidden Forest.

The Gryffindor celebration over there also moved to another place. They may also know that the Slytherin here is eager to fight again, so they choose to go back to Gryffindor Tower.

Fred and George were sneaking into the kitchen to steal cakes, but John didn't expose them.

But as long as you talk to the house elves properly, I believe they will be willing to send cakes to the great wizard.

At the door of the Room of Requirement, John met Harry who had returned.

Harry said firmly: "John, it's Snape. I saw it with my own eyes. He threatened Professor Quirrell in the Forbidden Forest."

Chapter 25 Hagrid and the Dragon Egg

Snape?

Threaten Quirrell?

I'm afraid you may have made a mistake.

"Harry, you need to take responsibility for what you say."

John's expression became serious, which made Harry think that John was not joking.
