Hogwarts in the shadows

Voldemort hesitated. It seemed impossible to get close to Hephesus.

Moreover, he was still frightened by the black shadow.

Hephis couldn't do anything about Voldemort in his black mist form.

The shadow can wrap around, but you can’t use all of his shadows to restrict Voldemort!

"Hephis, I look forward to meeting you next time." Voldemort finally chose to give up.

He has been in Albania for so long, there will always be a chance.

"I am looking forward to it too, Lord Dark Lord." Hephis also breathed a sigh of relief, as the time for the Felicity Potion was approaching.

“Hahaha, you are indeed an excellent Slytherin.” Voldemort laughed and flew away.

Hephaestus watched Voldemort leave without withdrawing the shadow shield around him.

He went to check on Harry, and found that he was indeed the "Boy Who Lived".

The battle affected such a large area that Harry only had a broken head and nothing else was hurt.

The impact appeared, and Hephis was about to put Harry up as well.

The mirror surface of the Mirror of Erised began to ripple like water waves.

An old man with a white beard slowly walked out of the mirror.

"Hephaest, good evening." Dumbledore looked at Hephaest with a smile.

"Good evening, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Hefes had long guessed that Old Deng would definitely show up, but he didn't expect him to be so calm.

"It seems that the battle just now was very fierce." Dumbledore said and looked at the big pit in front of him.

Hephis rolled his eyes. He didn't believe that Dumbledore had just arrived.

Given Harry's situation, who would believe him if he said that no one protected him?

Seeing that Hephis had no intention of responding, Dumbledore continued.

"Hefeis, can you tell me what's going on tonight?"

"Voldemort possessed Quirrell and tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone. I followed him to see for myself." Hephaestus said perfunctorily.

"Well, what about the Philosopher's Stone?"

"I don't know, maybe the battle affected them!" Hephis continued to talk nonsense.

"Then can you help me find it? After all, I am old and my eyesight is a little blurry." Dumbledore pointed at his glasses.

"Oh! The damage is quite serious! It will probably take some effort to fix it." Hephis looked at the surrounding environment.

"The Philosopher's Stone is too dangerous. It's better to find it as soon as possible." Dumbledore reminded.

"It is true that Voldemort is still watching from the side." Hephis pretended to be thoughtful.

Dumbledore seemed to suddenly remember, "By the way, I heard from Professor McGonagall that you have a great talent for Transfiguration."

He paused, "I have a Transfiguration Notebook. If you have time, you can meet me in the principal's office."

"Principal, I will go before I leave school." Hephis agreed directly.

It would be great if he could observe the Philosopher's Stone for a few days.

As for staying, it would be impossible as long as Dumbledore was not senile, and even if he was senile.

Hephis's original purpose was to get some benefits from Dumbledore.

After all, the first picture of the Mirror of Erised was Dumbledore holding the Philosopher's Stone and trying to give it to him, but the second picture only appeared after he refused.

He estimated that the person who gave him the Philosopher's Stone in the picture should be Dumbledore himself. Fortunately, his purpose was never the Philosopher's Stone.

"Then we need to take Harry and Hermione to the Hospital Wing now," Dumbledore said cheerfully.

"Okay, professor." Hephis also relaxed.

After all, even if the White Lord doesn't give him any benefits, he still has to return the Philosopher's Stone.

"That trunk of yours is quite useful." Dumbledore winked.

Hephis did not hide it this time and directly put Harry into the shadow box. He also set up a barrier between Harry and Hermione.

Dumbledore's eyes gleamed for a moment, but soon recovered.

Madam Pomfrey gave Harry and Hermione a thorough examination.

Hermione is fine, she was just hit by a powerful stunning spell. She just needs to have a good sleep.

Harry is in a bit of trouble. External injuries are no big deal and can be fixed with a few drops of difficile.

But Harry remained unconscious, which might be related to Voldemort's final touch.

It should be a rebound effect of protective magic, but it is just a harmless side effect.

Hephis said that as long as Hermione was fine, it would be fine, he didn't know Harry well.

So he stayed beside Hermione for a while, and was then driven away by Madam Pomfrey.

The Philosopher's Stone is very convenient to use. Put the Philosopher's Stone together with other things.

It can be stone, wood, or metal, these things will slowly turn into gold.

However, the conversion speed is very slow. In one hour, only the surface of these things turned into gold. It would probably take a whole day to completely convert them.

Hephesus certainly wouldn't waste time transforming gold.

He soaked the Philosopher's Stone in water again, and the water turned red.

He poured out the transformed "Eternal Life Water" and sealed it in a bottle for safekeeping.

Pour in new water and continue the conversion.

If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, you won't have the chance again in the future.

As for studying the composition of the Philosopher's Stone, he is not crazy yet.

The first thing Hermione did after waking up was to find Hephis, who was blocking him at the door of the Slytherin common room.

This was also the first time Hermione was so close to the Slytherin common room.

Of course Hephis had thought of the reasons.

Thanks to the information provided by Hermione, he found out that the person who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone was Quirrell.

So I secretly followed Quirrell into the secret room on the fourth floor, and then just when he was about to leave to inform other professors.

Hermione showed up, so of course he couldn't leave.

In the end, he fought with Voldemort. It might be because Quirrell drank unicorn blood and the curse was activated.

In the end, Quirrell turned into ash, and Voldemort had no body left and could only leave.

Dumbledore came out to clean the floor and sent her and Harry to the hospital wing.

Although there are still some loopholes, Hephis believes that Dumbledore is not a talkative person and will not explain it to Harry in such detail.

Hermione finally took a closer look and made sure that Hephes was not injured, then she hugged Hephes and cried.

Hephis could only helplessly say some words of persuasion and pat Hermione on the back.

Theodore didn't ask much, but that aggrieved look in his eyes!

Hey!

Hephis really wanted to kick him away.

Finally, it was Snape who came to demand accountability.

The two met in the hall. Snape grabbed Hephesus's collar and walked towards the dungeon.

The students around were confused and some of them who were on good terms with Hephis directly told the professors of the school.

They were afraid that Hephis would die tragically at the hands of Snape.

However, the professors just smiled friendly, said it was okay, and persuaded everyone to go back.

Hephis was dragged by Snape all the way, or rather, he took the initiative to follow him, and walked into Snape's office.
