Alice's Travels

It wasn't until she was sure that Snape had left that Alice stretched out her hand and released some magic power on Ron, as if a bunch of gleaming thin threads were passed directly into Ron's body along her hand - he woke up soon come over.

Ron sat up covering his head, seeing Alice's eyes widen instantly.

"Alice? Why are you here?!" he said in surprise.

"Of course I was worried that you were in danger," Alice said, "I came here with Snape, who was going to save Harry."

"You mean Snape?!" Ron's jaw dropped in shock, "Impossible! The harp, what he left behind—and he threatened Quirrell before, and Snape went to the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort is in the Forbidden Forest! Harry has seen it with his own eyes! Snape is going to get Voldemort the Philosopher's Stone!" He grew more and more excited, and finally almost roared.

"Quiet, Ron!" said Alice, staring at him. "Calm down, listen to me, that harp, I saw it when Snape and I came in, was at the feet of the big dog, And when you said he threatened Quirrell, I was there at the time - with Harry, we did hear Quirrell crying, it seemed that there was another person threatening him, but Harry and I didn't see that person Who it is, as for Snape, it's just Harry's guess!"

"What about the Forbidden Forest?" Ron glared at her.

"I was going to ask you too," Alice said calmly, "the Voldemort you are talking about—referring to the mysterious man who started the Wizarding War more than ten years ago and then disappeared?"

"Yes! He also killed Harry's parents! But he was defeated by Harry, and Harry can definitely defeat him again!" Ron said with certainty.

Alice remembered Harry's story about the Boy Who Lived. She frowned and thought about the information she had checked - Voldemort was an extremist terrorist who extremely discriminated against ordinary people and wizards born of ordinary people. He advocated the theory of pure blood for wizards , he and his henchmen tortured and even slaughtered ordinary people and wizards of ordinary people. His henchmen were called Death Eaters. They used black magic and used the three unforgivable curses-cruciatus, Imperius and The Avada Kedavra curse killed, spread terror, and further triggered wizard wars, until Voldemort was defeated by a one-year-old baby ten years ago, and the mysterious man disappeared from then on, and that baby Harry became a wizard in the wizarding world. celebrities.

Voldemort, she thought, was an out-and-out racist, a madman.

Alice wondered how Harry, who was just a baby at the time, could beat him - which is why almost everyone was curious about Harry when he first came to Hogwarts.She didn't pay attention to these things at first, because it was hard to say that Harry was different from other children in her eyes, but now thinking of Voldemort made Alice realize that there must be some qualities in Harry that are different from everyone else-perhaps a certain A special ability, perhaps a hidden powerful magical potential.

"But hasn't Voldemort disappeared?" Alice asked.

"No, he's back!" said Ron. "Harry saw him in the Forbidden Forest. He was drinking unicorn blood—unicorn blood lasts life. He's trying to resurrect!"

"So he wanted the Philosopher's Stone to bring him back to life? So you think Snape wanted to steal it to help him?" Alice said, putting things together.

"Isn't that so?" said Ron angrily.

"I don't think so." Alice shook her head at him. "At least he didn't try to steal the Philosopher's Stone. He came in with me. The harp was already there. If it wasn't yours, it meant that it was in the Someone went through the trap door before you came in - and it wasn't Snape."

Ron's face turned pale, "That, that must be Voldemort! Oh, Harry and Hermione—"

Alice didn't know if that person could be Voldemort, and her heart was also hanging, so she could only ask instead, "Why are you lying here alone Ron?"

"I, because I want to play wizard chess through here, and the three of us happened to replace three pieces, you know - there is always a sacrifice in chess." Ron said still with a pale face and trembling lips.

"Don't worry about Ron," Alice reassured him, looking at him, "at least Snape went too, it'll be better than the two of them—"

At this moment, a sound of footsteps approached, and a figure stumbled over from the opposite side—it was Hermione.

"Oh, Ron, I'm glad you're all right!" gasped Hermione, equally surprised to see Alice, "Alice, you—"

But she figured it out right away, "You came here with Snape?"

Alice nodded, "He caught up with you?"

"No, it's unbelievable—" said Hermione, shaking her head, "I just came back from the flames and saw Snape standing in front of me—I was terrified at first, but then I thought what if Snape didn't go in, so the person who went in before - probably Voldemort! I immediately asked him to save Harry, God knows, Harry has already passed the flame - he went into the last room!" She was frustrated and said Said worriedly.

"Speak clearly!" Ron said anxiously.

"No!" screamed Hermione, who was dying of worry. "We should go back and deliver the message to Dumbledore right away! There's only one potion to get through the last level - Harry drank it and I got the potion." Another bottle to return - we should head out to the Owl Cottage to deliver Dumbledore's message at once!"

"Did Snape go in?" Alice asked.

"I don't know—" said Hermione, "he stepped through the door, but there's no more potion to get in—Harry drank the last of it, and I don't know if he'll make it through the flames. , and I'm not sure he'd like to save Harry—"

Hermione pulled Ron and Alice up and walked back, "Listen, the most important thing for us now is to get out—"

"I don't think so," Alice said suddenly, pulling Hermione and Ron to turn around.

Dumbledore stood in front of them with Snape holding the unconscious Harry.

"Good evening, boys," said Dumbledore, smiling, as Snape stood beside him expressionlessly.

Finally, things seemed to be resolved satisfactorily.

Three days later, Harry woke up.

Alice had visited him, and Ron and Hermione were there, and they were talking about what happened later that day.

It never occurred to him, Harry said, that the one who got in before them was Quirrell, and that Voldemort was possessing him—behind his head, which was always hooded.

Obviously, Quirrell has turned to Voldemort, and Voldemort ordered him to steal the Philosopher's Stone so that he can be resurrected.Fortunately, all this was prevented - Snape and Dumbledore arrived in time, Voldemort escaped - he disappeared again, and Quirrell was dead.

Harry, Ron and Hermione never dreamed that Snape actually went to save Harry in the end.

"I heard Quirrell say about the Quidditch match that day—" said Harry, "that he was the one who tried to kill me with the jinx, and that Snape—was doing the countercurse to save me, Snape." I have suspected Quirrell for a long time. He was the referee for the second game to ensure that Quirrell would not harm me again. The troll was released by Quirrell. It was Voldemort who threatened Quirrell—"

Harry told all that Quirrell had told him, and felt much more comfortable in his heart. He looked into Alice's eyes and said seriously: "You're right, Alice, Snape really didn't want to harm me—on the contrary, He also saved me. Sorry, we never believed you."

Hermione and Ron also nodded heavily, and Ron said, "Although Snape is annoying, he's not that bad."

"He's doing his duty as a teacher," said Hermione, "and he's protecting the students—though he's partial."

Alice smiled at them, "He's really not a very likable person."

"Actually, you shouldn't say who to believe in this matter," Alice said, "I believe in your character, but everyone's judgment may be wrong. When you don't really understand everything, you should still talk about evidence. right?"

Harry laughed, "You're right."

"But Voldemort—" Ron scrunched up his face.

"He got away again," said Hermione, "and he's not dead—"

Alice thought for a while and said, "But he can't do it." Not to mention that she is from the future, a terrorist who wants to slaughter and rule all ordinary people, how can people let him succeed?

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked.

"I mean, Voldemort could never do what he wanted—whether it was immortality or wizarding pure blood," Alice said. "He underestimated the power of ordinary people."

"You mean Muggles? But they're really weak -" said Ron, frowning.

"No, Ron," Alice said calmly, "It's impossible for Voldemort to uphold the supremacy of pure blood and to be above Muggle wizards and all ordinary people. Because he is not fighting against one person, nor Not a group of people, but the whole world."

"Yes, a wizard is indeed very powerful against an ordinary person. It can be said that a wizard is no problem against a group of people, but—" Alice stared at them and said, "You have underestimated the wisdom of ordinary people , in a situation where there are only a handful of wizards, and the whole world is almost occupied by ordinary people, ordinary people have never just had their own strength, and their development of their power comes from their brains full of wisdom. Wizards What we have to fight against is never a group of people, but the incomparably powerful wisdom accumulated by a group of people.”

Hermione nodded and said, "They're really smart, in fact, Muggles have made a lot of great inventions—"

"Perhaps you have heard of the Second World War in the world of ordinary people?" Alice said in a slow tone, "In 1945, people could directly destroy a city with a single gunpowder."

"Oh!" Ron exclaimed, eyes widening.

Harry and Hermione were also listening intently.

"In 1969, people landed on the moon for the first time, built a space station in outer space, launched artificial satellites, invented missiles, bombs, rockets and even biological and chemical weapons. People have also created another kind of intelligence - computers and artificial intelligence, and now it has been so many years, you can hardly imagine how fast the development of technology will be." Alice finally said.

"Hey, you look like a learned Ravenclaw!" Ron said to Alice, his eyes twinkling, obviously interested.

"I like reading these books." Alice explained with a smile.

"I want to visit the Muggle world during the holidays!" Ron said happily.

"You can't see these things in ordinary places." Hermione and Harry looked at each other and said.

"We can go to the museum," Alice said, "we won't be able to see the real thing, but if you want to know more about it, you can go to many places." I want to, I really want to.
