Chapter 595 I'm Bai Zi!
"What do I want to see?"
Harry was still in shock. After all, although he knew that this place was likely to be where Dumbledore guarded the Sorcerer's Stone, he never expected that Hermione would break in so easily with him and Ron!
Looking back now, it seems that if he and Ron come to these levels by themselves, except for the potion level of the last level, which may be a little difficult, the other levels cannot even be stopped by normal second and third graders, right?
What was Professor Dumbledore thinking?
With many doubts in mind, Harry stood in front of the Mirror of Erised, and he turned his head to look at Hermione.
"Hermione, I've seen this mirror before, and I knew it would be my parents, isn't there anything to look at?"
Harry turned his head while talking, but the picture in the mirror was not the family portrait he had in mind.
In the Mirror of Erised, Harry's shadow looked at himself standing in front of the mirror with a smile on his face.
Then, he stretched out his hand, put it into his trousers pocket, and took out a gemstone shining with pale golden light!
Harry took a deep breath and held his breath, and it didn't take long for his face to look a little flushed.
Harry in the mirror blinked at Harry in front of the mirror, and then put the pale golden gemstone in his pocket again.
At the same time, Harry felt his trouser pocket sink slightly, as if something had really appeared in his pocket.
Hermione has been paying attention to Harry, but she didn't notice any changes. Although she knew that Dumbledore must have given Harry the Sorcerer's Stone by means of staying at this level, she didn't know that Deng How on earth did Professor Bullido do it.
"Harry, what did you see?"
Seeing Harry's flushed expression, Ron frowned slightly and leaned in front of Harry, but what he saw was still the scene where he won the Quidditch Cup and the Academy Cup.
"Well, the Philosopher's Stone, it's in my trouser pocket."
Harry looked around but found no one, so he spoke to Ron cautiously.
Ron was shocked, and he quickly looked into Harry's pocket, wanting to see the true face of the Philosopher's Stone.
"Well, the adventure game is over, my lovely children!"
The moment Ron took out the Philosopher's Stone from Harry's pocket, a gloomy voice sounded from behind them.
Not Professor Quirrell, but Peter Pettigrew!
There was a flash of light in Hermione's pupils, and she waved her hands behind her back in the direction of Sirius and Lupine, signaling them not to do anything.
Pettigrew Peter naturally couldn't have broken free from Hermione's control, he was just trying to lure Voldemort out!
If Voldemort found out that something was wrong and ran away, with his ability, even Hermione would not dare to say that he would definitely be able to keep him in a desperate situation!
In order to attract Voldemort to take the bait, Dumbledore really went to the Ministry of Magic. The matter of Sirius had to be resolved, but if Fudge didn't see Pettigrew Peter and Voldemort with his own eyes, he would never be able to admit that Dumbledore was right. of.
Therefore, Dumbledore brought a double-sided mirror, and broadcast the live broadcast of the underground chamber to Fudge through the double-sided mirror!
"Ron, give me the Philosopher's Stone in your hand."
Pettigrew Peter didn't have a trace of expression in his pupils, but because his back was facing Quirrell and Voldemort, the two didn't realize that Pettigrew Peter was being controlled by the Imperius Curse at all.
And Lupine, who was holding a double-sided mirror, naturally broadcast live from the side very interestingly, and Fudge on the other end didn't find anything unusual. He was trying to refute Dumbledore with his lips turning pale, but the appearance of Peter Pettigrew Leave him speechless!
You know, Peter Pettigrew has been dead for 11 years in their impression, and only a piece of finger was left at that time. Even if someone wants to use compound soup to look like him, there is no material!
"Who are you!"
Harry was quite quiet. In order to prevent Voldemort from discovering the abnormality, Dumbledore, Sirius and Harry discussed for a long time before deleting Harry and Ron's memories of Sirius and Pettigrew Peter.
After all, whether it was Harry or Ron, their Occlumency proficiency was not enough to allow them to stand in front of Voldemort without leaking any flaws.
Of course, Dumbledore put this erased memory in the Pensieve, and he will return it to Harry and Ron after the matter is over.
Therefore, Harry and Ron at this moment are showing true emotions!
Harry quickly took the Philosopher's Stone back from Ron's hand and put it behind his back, then tossed it lightly into Hermione's hand.
In his opinion, Hermione is the strongest among the three of them, and she must be more sure of dealing with this wizard who doesn't know when to follow behind them.
So the Philosopher's Stone is safest in her hands.
Thanks to Harry being Gryffindor's Seeker, he didn't make any mistakes in throwing at such a short distance.
When the Philosopher's Stone came into her hands, Hermione was slightly taken aback, and then put her hand in her pocket casually.
She didn't hide her intentions in this action at all, she just wanted to show Quirrell and Voldemort!
After all, as long as the Philosopher's Stone is in her hands, if Quirrell and Voldemort want to get it, they can only join hands with Pettigrew Peter to snatch it.
"Miss Granger, I don't want to hurt you, but please give me the Philosopher's Stone, my master needs it!"
Pettigrew Peter's body was trembling slightly, and the excitement in his voice made Sirius think that Pettigrew Peter had broken free from the Imperius Curse and revealed his true nature!
And Voldemort, who was hiding in the dark, was even more excited. He never expected that the servant he despised the most back then was actually the most loyal to him!
Pettigrew Peter, the Death Eater he never looked at, is now Voldemort's favorite subordinate!
"Master, master, what should I do now?"
In the dark, Quirrell asked Voldemort cautiously, his heart was very flustered.
After all, when Voldemort had only one Death Eater to rely on, he would wantonly squeeze him. Now that there is a more central subordinate, who knows whether Voldemort will throw him away after using him!
Quirrell, who had offended Dumbledore and Hogwarts, didn't think he could survive being abandoned by Voldemort, so every word he said was cautious.
"Trash, hurry up and help Peter!"
Voldemort cursed, and during Quirrell's questioning, Pettigrew Peter had already fought Hermione.
Even if Hermione needed to be distracted from controlling Pettigrew Peter, the powerful strength she showed made Voldemort feel a palpitation.
Why does it feel like this little witch has become stronger after a while?
Moreover, why does the magic wand in her hand seem to be able to amplify the power of the spell?
Impossible, Dumbledore handed her the Elder Wand!
Hearing Voldemort's order, Quirrell had no choice but to lift the Disillusionment Curse and attack Hermione from another direction.
And his appearance naturally made Minister Fudge of the Ministry of Magic look even more ashen.
Another Death Eater!
Even if the resurrection of Voldemort that Dumbledore said is false, it is absolutely true that the Death Eaters have reappeared and wreaked havoc in the wizarding world, and Pettigrew Peter's hero halo must also be dropped!
Fudge is not a fool, he knows that Dumbledore's coming to the Ministry of Magic to communicate with him has already given him enough face.
If he doesn't just go downhill, the Minister of Magic will be replaced tomorrow!
He just became the Minister of Magic not long ago and he hasn't tasted enough power. How could he give up his hard-won status so easily!
"Immediately, let the Aurors dispatch immediately and send those two Death Eaters to Azkaban!"
Seeing Fudge's excited look, Dumbledore stretched out his hand to comfort him.
The Auror's dispatch may give Voldemort a chance to fish in troubled waters. Let's leave the scene to Hermione. Dumbledore believes in Hermione, just like a wizard believes in Merlin.
In the secret room, Quirrell's sudden sneak attack did not catch Hermione off guard. With her back turned to Quirrell, she cast the Iron Armor Curse in seconds to block Quirrell's Killing Curse, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"go there!"
Hermione gave Harry and Ron a push, pushing them into the corner.
There, there were Sirius and Lupine. Even if Voldemort wanted to take Harry and Ron as hostages, he had to pass their level first.
"Granger, we meet again."
Without too much procrastination, Voldemort directly manipulated Quirrell's body, whispering to Hermione in that eerie tone.
Pettigrew Peter seemed to be frightened, the wand in his hand fell to the ground, and then he quickly knelt down and crawled to Voldemort's side.
Looking at the servant who was so respectful to him, Voldemort stretched out his hand quite satisfied to help Pettigrew Peter, and Dumbledore at the Ministry of Magic also cut off the double-sided mirror.
When Voldemort appeared, Fudge saw it with his own eyes, and many Aurors summoned by Fudge also saw it. This is an absolutely undeniable fact.
The next scene cannot be seen by Fudge, and he must return to Hogwarts. After all, Voldemort has appeared, and he, the headmaster of Hogwarts, will be suspected if he does not go back quickly.
"Hurry up!"
Fudge yelled three times in a row, his curly hair stood on end, and he looked like a panicked groundhog, only barking incessantly.
"Follow Dumbledore, definitely, definitely..."
Halfway through speaking, Fudge got stuck.
Most of the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic have experienced the turmoil of more than ten years ago. Their fear of Voldemort is similar to that of Fudge. It is okay for them to deal with Death Eaters, but they do not have the courage to face Voldemort!
Seeing the flushed faces of his subordinates, no matter how many times Fudge jumped, he couldn't give the order to attack.
If he dared to give such an order, at least half of these Aurors who were sincere to him would give up their support for him!
In the chamber of secrets, Peter Pettigrew trembled and was lifted up by Voldemort. In Voldemort's view, this was the fear of his subordinates.
He liked it so much that he didn't forget to look at Hermione as he helped Pettigrew Peter up.
However, what he saw was a mocking smile on the corner of Hermione's mouth.
"idiot."
The corners of Hermione's mouth lifted slightly, and those seductive red lips spat out a word that made Voldemort's eyes widen.
rub!
A white glow lit up in the dark room, accompanied by the sound of a sharp weapon being unsheathed!
laugh!
This is the sound of a sharp weapon entering the body, piercing the flesh!
Voldemort looked at Peter Pettigrew, who had empty eyes in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't believe that the pain he suffered was created by his proud Death Eater servant!
"I'm Baizi!"
Hermione's voice came out of Pettigrew Peter's mouth. At the same time, Hermione also released the control of the Imperius Curse, and raised her hand to directly cast the Flying Curse.
Gryffindor's sword, which was stabbed into Voldemort's body by Peter Pettigrew, returned to Hermione's hand in an instant. Hermione was seen holding a wand in one hand and a sword in the other, looking heroic.
Pettigrew Peter, who had lost control, also fell to the ground, which made Voldemort's face livid, and he took a few steps back while clutching his wound.
At this moment, no matter how dull he is, he understands that this is a trap aimed at him!
The Death Eater's mark, Felicia, and the fear of the servants were all operations to make him relax his vigilance, in order to let Gryffindor's sword penetrate into his body!
You know, Gryffindor's sword is made of goblins and has the ability to absorb other substances to strengthen itself.
After Hermione knew about this ability, she immediately amplified the sword with the shining star, so it also has a very powerful lethality against Voldemort's evil soul!
In just a few seconds, Voldemort felt the tingling and weakness from his soul. He turned around and wanted to leave the secret room, but the figure appearing at the door of the secret room made him completely lose the chance to escape.
"Dumbledore!"
Voldemort let out a low growl with difficulty. Quirrell's body had begun to fester gradually due to the attack of Gryffindor's sword. His essence core was corroded by black magic, and he couldn't bear the power of the shining stars.
So, he set his sights on Peter Pettigrew!
If, if he can get the body of Peter Pettigrew, he still has room to resist!
boom!
Just when Voldemort was about to rush towards Pettigrew Peter, Sirius directly lifted the invisibility cloak and rushed over, and then kicked Pettigrew Peter's body, directly kicking Peter who didn't know whether he was alive or dead , At the same time, Voldemort's idea was completely defeated!
Before Voldemort could express his surprise at seeing Sirius, a phantom of a fiery red dragon directly impacted Voldemort's body, and then brought him to hit the wall of the secret room.
The terrifying impact directly shattered Quirrell's internal organs. Voldemort could clearly feel that Quirrell's physical condition was declining sharply, and he was only blinking away from dying!
"How about it, Dark Lord, the Skyfall and Earthquake taught to me by my lord, is it easier to use than your three-legged cat's Death Curse?"
