Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

Chapter 25 Quirrell's Confession

"godfather"

Snape was about to go to class when he heard someone calling him. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Draco running over in a hurry.

"Why are you so flustered?"

"godfather"

Snape frowned when he heard Draco calling him like that.

"Didn't I say you're not allowed to call me that in school?"

"Ling Bai is missing. I want to ask if you have seen him."

Snape paused, and the words he wanted to blame Draco just now were completely forgotten when they came to his lips.

"What's going on? Where are the people?"

Draco quickly recounted what happened last night, and Snape's frown was so tight that it looked like it could kill a fly.

"You guys are really messing around. Don't worry about this. Just go to class and stop running around and causing trouble."

"Take me with you, Professor."

Snape paused as he turned to leave, then turned his head slightly to look at Draco out of the corner of his eye.

"You are too weak now and can't do anything. Following me will only cause trouble. Go back to your classroom."

After saying that, he left quickly, his robe blown up by the wind. Draco stood there in a daze. He slowly lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his dazzling golden hair seemed to have dimmed a lot.

That's right, he is still too weak and incompetent now. He can't do anything even when important people are missing and their lives are uncertain.

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed and then rekindled.

The flames that were rekindled were shockingly bright.

Then work hard, work hard to become stronger, to be able to protect him, to be able to stand by him, and no one can say such things anymore.

Draco turned and left, heading for the classroom.

On the other side, Harry and his friends went to see Professor McGonagall and learned about the Philosopher's Stone and Ling Bai's disappearance. McGonagall was also a little worried.

But there are still students here, and she has to calm them down first.

"I will send someone to look for Mr. Gaunt's disappearance. You guys go back to the dormitory and wait for news. Don't make any noise."

After the three felt that their search for the teacher was fruitless, they stood in the corridor and discussed.

"This is all too coincidental. Ling Bai is missing, and Dumbledore is not here."

"Do you think Malfoy's visit to Snape will lead to any results?"

"No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Ling Bai must be in danger now."

Harry's eyes were filled with worry and fear.

“So what should we do?”

Ron was also very worried about Ling Bai. Ling Bai had been getting along well with everyone during this period, and Ron had already regarded him as his friend.

"We have to get to the trapdoor, tonight"

Ling Bai opened his eyes dazedly and found himself in an abandoned underground palace, with his hands and feet tied to a chair.

He tried to break free several times but couldn't. In front of him was the Mirror of Erised, which he had seen once and could reflect a person's deepest desires.

Ling Bai looked around and saw no one, so he once again turned his gaze to the mirror in front of him.

The reflection in the mirror was still the same as the last time he saw her.

What puzzled Ling Bai was that he always felt that the mirror was hinting at something, and that this might be the clue for him to recover his spiritual power.

"Haha, you're awake"

A voice sounded from behind, and then Qi Luo appeared in front of Ling Bai.

Ling Bai had no expression on his face, which surprised Qi Luo.

"You're not scared, you don't want to know why you're here"

"Are you afraid that you will let me go?"

Quirrell smiled, and then his expression immediately turned sinister.

"You are quite courageous, worthy of being someone who dares to enter the forbidden forest alone."

“So what is your purpose?”

"Don't worry, everyone isn't here yet. You'll know when everyone is here."

Ling Bai lowered his eyes again and his gaze fell on the mirror.

He still looked like a fox in the mirror, lying on the legs of a man whose appearance could not be seen clearly.

Ling Bai felt inexplicably irritated. Who exactly was this man? It was so boring to be so secretive.

"Ask him who he is and why his last name is Gunter"

A hoarse sound, like rough sandpaper, was heard.

Ling Bai looked at Qi Luo.

"Are you talking?"

"Don't ask so many questions, why is your last name Gunter?"

"Your question is really stupid"

Ling Bai snorted coldly, his mockery was obvious.

"you......"

"I don't know why, maybe you should ask my father."

"You asked him what he saw in the mirror"

That unpleasant sound rang out again.

Before Qi Luo could speak, Ling Bai spoke first.

"There are only two of us here, but there are three voices. I am just an eleven-year-old kid who can't even lift a chicken. You even hid my wand. If you have anything to say, you can't ask me in person."

The arrogant and provocative voice made Quirrell very angry.

The unpleasant voice sounded again, but Ling Bai didn't hear what he said this time.

Quirrell, who had been wearing a turban, untied it.

Although Ling Bai had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help showing a look of disgust when he saw the disgusting and ugly appearance.

"You are the legendary Voldemort, right?"

"I smell my scent in you"

Ling Bai looked away in disgust.

"Child, tell me who you are and who your parents are"

"I'm sorry, I don't know who my parents are. Doesn't Professor Quirrell know? I have been fostered in the Malfoy family since I was a child. I only know my name."

The man's face was silent for a moment.

"What do you see in the mirror?"

"Well, I have mountains of gold and silver, and countless wealth."

Ling Bai said one casually.

But the man obviously didn't believe it.

Just at this moment, a small figure appeared at the stairs.

"Ling Bai"

When Harry saw the tied Ling Bai, he immediately wanted to go over, but stopped when he saw Quirrell.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ling Bai was not injured despite being in a bit of a mess.

"It was you who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, not Snape."

Quirrell looked at Harry and smiled maliciously.

"Of course, he does look like a bad guy. After all, who would doubt a poor stuttering professor?"

"But on Quidditch day"

"No, kid, I wanted to kill you. If Snape's cloak hadn't caught fire and knocked me over, you would have been dead. No matter how many counter-spells Snape cast, he couldn't save you."

“He chanted the spell to save me.”

Harry looked incredulous and a little guilty.

"Sorry Ling Bai, I should have believed you"

Ling Bai didn't say anything, his eyes just fell on the back of Qi Luo's head.

Harry had not yet seen this face.

Ling Bai stared at the ugly face and sighed in his heart.

What a waste of such a handsome face he has turned into.

If he were to stare at a face like this, let alone live forever, he would rather end his life immediately.

But at the same time, a doubt was buried in Ling Bai's heart.

This Voldemort seems to be unaware of Tom's existence, so what is the situation of Tom now?
