Chapter 56
The two of them were in trouble.
"Damn it! I knew it wouldn't be that simple!"
In the shadows in the distance, Voldemort's face was gloomy.
If there was only one Snape, he would dare to gamble.
But now, there is not only Snape, but also Harry and the two Weasleys!
If something happens to a few people, Dumbledore will turn Hogwarts upside down!
In his current state, a head-on conflict with Dumbledore is no different from seeking death.
"What...what should we do, Master?"
"Should we...should we wait until they leave before going?"
Quirrell's cowardly voice made Voldemort even more angry.
"Why go! How long can a giant monster stop Dumbledore!"
"He will come before we get there!"
Voldemort took a deep breath.
"Now I can only pray to my good disciple to see if he can get the things."
"But judging from the situation, he should not be so honest!"
Voldemort can confirm at the first sight of Argus that he is the same kind of person as himself.
There is ambition in his eyes!
It's just that compared to himself, the other party has more resources.
And is better at hiding!
If he doesn't find a chance to catch Hermione and others, Voldemort will not believe that Argus is willing to work for him loyally.
But he still hopes that Argus can get the Philosopher's Stone.
After all, Argus still has room for negotiation, but Dumbledore will not even give him a chance to negotiate!
"Let's go, this operation failed, we can only look for another opportunity."
Voldemort asked Quirrell to leave, but he already had another plan in mind.
Quirrell and his condition are getting worse and worse. If this continues, they may not be able to hold on before they get the Philosopher's Stone.
We must think of a way...
...
Third floor.
Snape stared at Harry and Ron coldly.
"Professor..."
"I didn't ask you, Mr. Weasley!"
Snape didn't give Percy a chance to continue speaking.
Percy saw it and was anxious.
He wanted to speak for them
Why did you two come here? Tell me!
At least you can fart and hear it!
Harry hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't withstand Snape's pressure: "Professor, we...we saw Argus coming here, so...so..."
"Humph!"
Snape sneered.
"Then please tell me, Lord Savior, where is Mr. Grindelwald, whom you are following?"
"I... We lost him..."
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Grindelwald is not like you who does nothing every day."
"We saw him come to the third floor with our own eyes!"
Ron couldn't help it and retorted.
"Then please tell me, Mr. Weasley, the great detective, where is Mr. Grindelwald?"
"..."
"Obviously, our two detectives didn't find any evidence."
Snape's face was even more mocking.
"Because you violated school rules and trespassed into the forbidden area, plus the slander of your classmates."
"Gryffindor will deduct ten points."
"Remember, ten points per person!"
Ron was still a little unconvinced, and Percy pulled the two behind him.
For fear that these two living fathers would speak again.
"Professor Snape, I'm really sorry, I'll take them back now!"
After that, he immediately hugged the two and left.
Snape watched the three of them leave, and only after a long while did he look thoughtfully in the direction of Quirrell's office.
...
On the way back to the Gryffindor common room.
Ron never stopped talking.
"Snape must have hidden him!"
"That evil Grindelwald goes to his office every day, who knows what shameful things they are doing secretly!"
"Enough! Ron!"
Percy interrupted Ron angrily: "Don't you think you've caused enough trouble!"
"Do you know how long it will take us to add these points back!"
"We are brave Gryffindors, how can we watch the evil Slytherins..."
"Did you find anyone? I chased you for a long time, but I didn't even see the shadow of Argus!" Percy didn't give Ron a chance to speak.
He was embarrassed to scold Harry, but he was still very confident in Ron.
What's more, when Mrs. Molly came last time, she personally told him to keep an eye on Ron.
If she knew that Ron had taken the initiative to provoke Argus again, given her temper, she might really take Ron home.
After thinking about it, Percy felt that Ron was his brother after all.
We can't really let him stay at home and go to college.
"Percy, we really saw Argus running to the third floor! If you don't believe it, you can ask Harry!"
Percy looked at Harry suspiciously, and saw that Harry was silent.
His brows were furrowed.
"I'll take you back to the Gryffindor common room first. I'll go and confirm this matter!"
As soon as the three returned to the common room, they saw the Weasley twins holding a box of colorful candies and talking to the people next to them.
As soon as the two saw Percy, they immediately put the candies behind them.
"Oh, our prefect is back with Harry and little Ronnie!"
"How is it, how many points have been deducted this time?"
As soon as these words came out, many people in the common room looked at Harry and Ron with unfriendly faces.
"Okay, stop talking, has the troll issue been resolved?"
"It's resolved. Professor McGonagall came in person. We wanted to ask if the party tonight should go on, but it depends on the situation..." George gestured around and shrugged.
"It's good that it's solved."
"You told me last time that Argus wanted to return the notes to me, but you couldn't find a suitable time, right?"
"It's just right. You keep an eye on them and don't let them run around. I'll go get the notes back."
Percy made up an excuse and walked towards the Slytherin common room.
On the way back to the Gryffindor common room, he thought a lot.
Ron and Harry were very honest during this period. It's impossible for them to go to the restricted area on the third floor for no reason.
His brother didn't have the brain to quickly make up a reason, and he wouldn't risk being taken home by his mother and keep biting Argus.
Whether it was for Gryffindor's score or for other reasons, he had to see it with his own eyes to feel relieved.
When he came to the Slytherin common room, Amiri Carrow and Argus and other heads happened to be guarding the door.
"Percy? What are you doing here!"
Gryffindor and Slytherin have never been on good terms. When they saw the other side's prefect coming, they were full of gunpowder.
"Amiri Carlo, I don't want to argue with you!" Percy didn't want to pay attention to the other party.
Look at Yagus.
"Yags, I heard from George and Fred that you asked me to return the notebook these two days. I'll come to get it while you are here today."
"Okay, wait a minute, I put it in the dormitory."
Yags saw through Percy's little thoughts at a glance and took the initiative to go to the lounge dormitory.
Amiri Carlo was very disdainful of Percy's behavior.
"You took the initiative to come here to ask for a notebook."
"Small family!"
Percy also realized that his behavior was inappropriate, but the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to save it.
So he didn't dwell on this topic and turned to indirect attacks.
"Your Slytherin headmaster is quite responsible, all of them are guarding the door."
"Of course!" Amiri Carrow said proudly: "Speaking of which, it was Agus who proposed this. Let the headmaster guard outside, in case of any problem, he can also protect the students inside."
"He proposed it?"
Percy was a little surprised, but he was secretly relieved.
From the third floor to the Slytherin lounge, you have to go through several stairs.
If Agus really went to the third floor, the time to go back and forth would definitely not be enough.
He had a good impression of Agus, and he didn't believe that the other party would do anything that violated the school rules.
Since the other party proposed that the headmaster guard the door, it proves that he has been with the headmaster of Slytherin.
In this case, how could he go to the third floor.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
Last time Ron caused such a big disaster, the other party didn't care, and took the initiative to comfort himself.
I am so good, I suspected him after hearing a few words, and even came to verify it in person!
I really deserve to die!
He made up his mind that next time George and Fred messed with Ron, he would pretend he didn't see anything!
He wouldn't care!
Humph!
