Chapter 52 Voldemort's conspiracy!
Two months passed in a flash.
Argus's life was extremely fulfilling. After class every day, he went to the library. When it was almost time, he went to Snape's office to endure mental attacks.
On Saturdays, he went to Quirrell's office regularly. After learning the dark magic with Voldemort, he went to Diagon Alley for a stroll.
After this period of study, Argus's strength improved by leaps and bounds.
His full-level talent combined with hard work.
Potions and Transfiguration made rapid progress, and a large number of spells broke through to level four or even level five.
In terms of dark magic, especially the three unforgivable curses, he used them to perfection.
As for the shops in Diagon Alley, with the help of bodyguard Dumbledore and umbrella Fudge, in just two months, they had occupied nearly half of the business in Diagon Alley.
Several pure-blood families whose business was robbed were angry but helpless.
It was Saturday again, and Argus came to Quirrell's office as usual.
After this period of study, Argus could sense that Quirrell's body was getting weaker and weaker.
From the beginning, he could talk for an entire afternoon and perform some magic demonstrations.
Now, he has to breathe heavily even after a few words.
But Argus doesn't care about these, anyway, it's not him who died.
He asked whatever he needed to ask, without any sympathy or pity.
After the afternoon class, Argus told Voldemort the information and intelligence he had collected about Harry during this period as usual.
But this time, Voldemort did not give Argus notes as usual.
Instead, he raised his head and stared at him straight.
His pale, skinny face and deep sunken eye sockets looked very scary.
"Argus, next, your task is no longer to collect intelligence."
"I have some actions that require your cooperation."
My cooperation?
Argus's mind moved, thinking of the current time point, and immediately understood what the other party wanted to do!
Steal the Philosopher's Stone!
There are only a few days left until Halloween. If I remember correctly, in the original book, Voldemort will choose to release a giant monster on Halloween night.
Unfortunately, the movie didn't show what happened specifically. We only know that Voldemort didn't get the Philosopher's Stone, and Snape's foot seemed to be bitten.
Instead, Harry accidentally killed the troll and became the savior.
But without Hermione this time, Harry and Ron probably had no reason to hang around.
No!
What did this old dog mean by that? Did he ask me to steal the Philosopher's Stone?
Argus suddenly realized this and looked up at Voldemort.
Sure enough, the other party's next words were to ask Argus to go to the third floor.
"I will create some commotion on Halloween night."
"All students and professors will be attracted. At that time, you will be responsible for going to the third floor and taking out the hidden things inside and handing them over to me."
"Do you understand?"
You really think highly of me by asking me, an eleven-year-old wizard, to deal with the three-headed dog!
Argus frowned: "Teacher, there is a three-headed dog guarding there. Do you mean to let me deal with him alone?"
"Are you going to refuse me?" Voldemort's tone suddenly became dangerous.
"Teacher, before the plan is carried out, the problem must be solved in advance."
"Once there is a riot in Hogwarts, the professors in the school will definitely become extremely vigilant, and every painting and every mechanism in the castle will be on alert."
"Let's not talk about the three-headed dog. Even if I get the items inside, I can't guarantee that I won't be noticed. If Dumbledore knows about it, all your plans will fail."
Argus thought that his words could make Voldemort give up on involving himself, but unexpectedly, he showed a weird smile on his face.
"My dear student, I have already thought of a reason for you."
"How about a friend missing? Search in the name of looking for a friend."
"That little girl from Ravenclaw who follows you all day is a good one."
"If I remember correctly, she seems to be a mudblood."
"It's no pity to die."
"Before leaving, tell your prefect, I believe those professors won't make things difficult for you."
Voldemort, I XX you XX!
Can you do something that people can do!
Is it easy for me to fool a few people! You've killed them all!
Agus's eyes seemed to want to eat people, but he knew that Voldemort was not discussing with him at all!
It's an order!
He must do it!
Even if he chooses to refuse, Voldemort will still proceed according to the plan and force him to save Hermione!
At worst, he will steal it himself while he is fighting with the troll to attract the attention of the professors.
Hermione is still in danger!
But these are not what really made him hesitate.
He knew that the third floor was most likely a bait that Dumbledore threw to Voldemort!
There was no Philosopher's Stone in it!
He knew these things, but Voldemort didn't.
He had no way to explain it to him.
Moreover, as long as he went to the third floor, it would be like yellow mud falling into his crotch.
There was no way to explain it!
Unless... someone was staring at him and could prove that he had never entered the secret room...
Voldemort was a little impatient, and his eyes looking at Argus were a little dangerous.
"Any other questions?"
"No, teacher."
Argus knew that he couldn't refuse, and nodded calmly.
"Don't let me down, Argus."
"You will get everything you want!"
The hypocritical smile on Argus's face disappeared completely the moment he turned around.
There are still three days until Halloween, and he needs to complete his own layout in these three days!
On the way to Snape's office, Argus's brain was working frantically.
Hermione needs protection, otherwise if she falls into Voldemort's hands, he may cast some spells on her that he doesn't know about.
But it is obviously not enough to protect Hermione alone. If Voldemort can't catch her, he can just catch Draco, Pansy, Daphne and others.
The effect is the same!
It is best to establish a long-term crowd gathering point to ensure that they can all come to the hall at night.
The establishment of this gathering point cannot be related to oneself, otherwise Voldemort will still be suspicious...
And the person who follows and pays attention to oneself must have certain strength, at least he must be able to withstand a few moves under his hands.
He also needs to give that person a reason to doubt himself...
According to the original process, the most suitable candidates are undoubtedly Harry and Ron, but because of his interruption, the two who should have discovered the secret room during the duel with Draco had no chance to enter!
With their half-baked strength, let alone letting them hold out for a few moves, they should be thankful that they didn't lose the target!
One by one, the figures that could be used emerged in his mind.
Finally, they condensed into a red-haired image.
"The person who was following us has been found, but how can we organize a long-term gathering on Halloween..."
While thinking, Agus had already arrived at Snape's office.
Seeing the other party's dead fish face, he immediately shook his head and put the thoughts on the road behind him.
After all, if you don't concentrate on it...
Snape really scolded!
