Chapter 182 Big Dog

Harry couldn't believe his eyes.

The answer to the question that had troubled him for weeks was actually at his fingertips, in his pocket. He just had to pay more attention when unwrapping the chocolate wrappers.

"Why didn't I think of taking another look at the picture?" Harry complained to himself. After speaking, he looked at Hermione and said apologetically, "Sorry, Hermione, if I had discovered it earlier, you wouldn't have had to spend so much money. Zhou Zhang went to the library to look it up."

Hermione shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, Harry, aren't we friends! Besides, I'm very curious myself!"

Ron curled his lips and muttered something under his breath.

"But... this seems to be of no use." Harry looked at the picture with some confusion. Principal Dumbledore was blinking at him, looking very amiable. "This only proves that the other party is also an alchemist. You know, there are actually quite a few people with the title of alchemist, right?"

"He is not an ordinary alchemist, Harry." Hermione said excitedly, "I am so grateful for this mask. Of course, we also have to thank Robert, but that will happen in the future."

As she spoke, she began to rummage in her blue backpack.

"Very good, I'm taking it with me." She said happily, it was a huge old book, and Harry felt Hermione's plate jump a little when she put the book on the dining table, " Ha, it’s really here.”

As she said that, she stood the book up, of course, just leaned against the table, cleared her throat, and read out the contents.

"Ancient alchemy involved the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with astonishing properties. The Philosopher's Stone could turn any metal into pure gold and create an elixir that would make anyone who drank it eternal. Immortality. There have been many reports about the Philosopher's Stone over the centuries, but the only remaining one belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Mr. Nicol Flamel."

Harry opened his mouth wide and asked stutteringly, "So, it's protecting the Sorcerer's Stone?"

"That's right!" Hermione said with certainty, "It must be the Philosopher's Stone that Nico Flamel asked Dumbledore to keep for him. They are friends. Flamel must have known that someone was trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so Hai Only then will he go to Gringotts to transfer the stone."

"Oh my god, it's just a stone, but it can turn into gold!" Harry exclaimed, "And it can also make people immortal forever. No wonder Snape wants to get it, even at the cost of being bitten."

Ron's eyes widened, "Convert gold! Oh my god, doesn't that mean that whoever gets it will become a rich man?"

Hermione and Harry ignored his thoughts and quietly discussed how to prevent Snape from getting the stone.

"Harry, this is very dangerous. He is a professor after all. If we want to stop him, unless another professor comes to help, we must outsmart him." Hermione said, "I will do it before the Christmas vacation." Check it out carefully, maybe you can use Lu Wei's help."

Harry was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face, "You mean Lu Wei? How is that possible? How can you communicate with a dog, unless you are another dog... Hey, wait, if it is a dog..."

Thanks to the windy and snowy weather, many of their activities were canceled, including flying lessons and Quidditch training. Even if Wood argued with the professor, all he got was rejection from Professor McGonagall.

"Wood, I've already told you, I will never allow you to let students get hurt because of training."

The captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team was naturally not someone who gave up easily. He naturally argued hard until he said, "It's just a broken arm and leg. For Madam Pomfrey, it only takes one night." After saying "recover", Wood was placed in solitary confinement.

After extracurricular activities were cancelled, the little wizards became very idle. Miraculously, there was no heating equipment in the corridors of Hogwarts Castle. Even the twins who liked to run around would not go out of their way to come to the corridors after class. .

"Merlin, Harry, this is not a wise choice. You actually want to run outside the castle at night. Do you know how heavy the wind and snow are outside?" Ron's voice muttered in his ears, which made Harry became increasingly anxious.

Harry's face turned red from the cold, "I don't know, really, I don't know if I should go out and look for it."

"Looking for...it?" Ron was a little confused and asked subconsciously, "Who are you looking for? What is it?"

"It's my big dog. You saw him on the train." Harry gestured, which gave Ron some unpleasant memories.

Ron's face fell and he said stiffly, "Oh, it's that stupid dog that sat on Zhu Weiqiong. With such heavy snow, it must have found a place to hide. There is no need to go out and search."

"Don't say that, Ron," Harry argued quietly, "Black was just saying hello."

Ron snorted coldly, his face still looking very foul.

Harry was a little helpless, but Zhu Weiqiong was really bullied by Black. He couldn't defend his pet, so he could only divert Ron's attention, "If we can communicate with Lu Wei, maybe we can tell it, We have no ill intentions, we just want to work with it to defeat Professor Snape, the thief of the Philosopher's Stone."

Ron's eyes widened, "This is a great idea, man! How did you think of it? With Lu Wei's help, there would be no problem defeating Professor Snape. He was bitten by a three-headed dog, right?" "

Harry scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Hermione thought of it. I just suddenly remembered that Black might be able to help."

"It's her again." Ron's face alternately became gloomy and sunny, which made Harry confused. "Why do you always stay with her? Man, she is a freak. If you socialize with her too closely, be careful. You’re treated like a freak too.”

Harry's face was full of helplessness, "Ron, I think you have a prejudice against her."

"How is that possible!" Ron jumped up, "Look at her! She is obviously a Gryffindor, but she runs to Hufflepuff every day. She likes to go to Hufflepuff so much. Why didn't she just go there? Hufflepuff!"

Harry rubbed his eyebrows and his tone became more helpless, "Ron, that's not that boy, that's the senior. Robert is a very nice person."

Ron became even more excited, "What's wrong with him? He always lectures me every time he comes to my house!"

Harry touched his nose awkwardly, "Well, maybe he wants to say hello to you? Okay Ron, let's not think about those things and come and help me find Black! I haven't seen him for several days. Even if it’s not to communicate with Lu Wei, we must find it!”
