The weather is gradually getting hot and humid.
This is especially true in the exam classroom.
Last winter, Hermione made a heater - she used magic to create a blue flame, and then carried it with her in a jam jar to keep warm in the winter.
Damon expanded on this idea and used Transfiguration to make a bunch of round air-conditioning valves that can be buckled on the body and distributed them to them, just as air conditioners.
After taking the last History of Magic exam, Damon walked out of the exam room in a good mood.
During this period, with Bagshot as his thesis strategist, he successively published three new branch theorems in "Transfiguration Today". Regarding Transfiguration without property change, he believed that he had mastered it all.
In addition, the grown-up fire dragon Norbert became his excellent sparring partner - this has now become their after-meal digestion exercise.
As a powerful magical creature, the Norwegian Ridgeback has strong physical and magical resistance. Damon basically does not need to hold back when sparring with it. In addition to not using spells with excessive lethality and not outputting too much magic power, almost any Transfiguration can be used on it.
Although the dragon was powerful, it was still not good enough in front of his Transfiguration.
In addition, unless it was unavoidable, Damon would not try to use the Armor Charm to defend against any attack - although he had been using magic to maintain the effect of this spell.
Under this self-limitation, his reaction speed was getting faster and faster, and he was getting more and more adapted to the battle.
If he fought Quirrell with all his strength now, he thought he could easily win - this also meant that there were few people in the entire magic world who could limit him in a one-on-one fight.
This also gave him more room for maneuver.
He had promised Susan Burns to visit her home during the summer vacation and meet the righteous Director of the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic - the other party had communicated with Damon in a letter before, but it was more of a courtesy.
However, he still had to stay in school for a few days, waiting for the exam results to be announced. In addition, the final plot of the Philosopher's Stone should also begin.
Damon twisted the five fingers of his right hand slightly, and his hands were itchy.
Tonight, I will go to meet Quirrell.
A year of hard training should have a perfect ending.
Harry's head hurts a lot recently.
Since he met the black-robed man in the Forbidden Forest, this phenomenon first appeared, and now it has become more and more frequent.
He thought it was because of the approaching exam week.
But he didn't expect that with the end of the last exam, his headache still didn't ease at all - he began to think it was a warning.
It means that some kind of danger is coming!
At a certain moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps the appearance of the dragon Norbert was not a coincidence - Hagrid has always wanted a dragon, and then he met someone in the tavern who lost a bet to him about a dragon egg. How could it be such a coincidence? !
"What did you say to him at the time, Hagrid? Did you mention Fluffy?"
Harry and the other two came to Hagrid's hut and looked at the giant nervously.
"Did he seem - seemed very interested in Fluffy?"
"Yes - quite interested - how many three-headed dogs can you meet, even near Hogwarts? So I told him that Fluffy is actually very easy to deal with. You just need to know how to calm it down and play some music for it to listen to, and it will fall asleep immediately -"
Hagrid's face suddenly showed a horrified expression.
"I shouldn't have told you this!" he blurted out, "Forget what I said! Hey - where are you going?"
The trio ignored him and discussed anxiously:
"We must go find Dumbledore," Harry said, "Hagrid told a stranger how to subdue Fluffy. The one wearing the cloak is either Snape or Voldemort - as long as he gets Hagrid drunk, it will be easy to get him to tell the truth. I just hope Dumbledore can believe us." The three of
them briefly discussed for a while and acted quickly, but were stopped by Professor McGonagall.
They quickly asked Professor McGonagall for help, but were surprised to learn that Dumbledore was not in school at the moment. He received an urgent letter from the Ministry of Magic by owl and flew to London immediately!
In addition, Professor McGonagall issued a stern warning to them:
"I don't know how you found out about the Philosopher's Stone, but please rest assured that no one can steal it. It is under strict protection and is foolproof."
Harry and the others naturally did not believe Professor McGonagall, or rather, they thought that Professor McGonagall was also deceived by Snape!
"Well, it seems that this is the only way, right?"
Hermione and Ron stared at Harry and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were shining.
"I will sneak in from here tonight. I will try to get the Philosopher's Stone first, so that Snape can't get it!"
"Harry! This is too risky! You will be expelled!"
"This is crazy, man!"
Faced with the obstruction of Hermione and Ron, Harry was angry. He felt that they did not understand the seriousness of the matter at all!
"So what?" he said loudly, "Don't you understand? If Snape gets the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort will come back!
If he is successfully resurrected, he will raze the school to the ground and Hogwarts will no longer exist. At that time, whether we win the house cup or not, whether I am expelled or not, will it still make sense?
Or should we kneel down and beg for mercy from this dark devil and choose to join him?
I must go through that trapdoor tonight, and nothing you two say can stop me! Voldemort killed my parents, remember? I must stop him!"
"You are right - Harry." Hermione was convinced and forced to accept Harry's statement, but soon, she thought of something and said happily, "Damon! We can tell Damon!"
"Remember? Snape is not his opponent! What should we do if we meet Snape after passing through the trapdoor? Let's go find Damon! Damon can stop him!"
Ron's eyes also lit up, and he said excitedly:
"Yes, we can tell Damon to go with us, so the risk of being discovered will be much smaller.
And - I feel that Professor McGonagall's attitude towards Damon is different from ours. Maybe Damon can convince her!"
Harry was interrupted by the two, and his determination, which had already been made, became hesitant again.
But soon, they made up their minds again in madness - because they found that they couldn't find Damon at all.
"If we are not expelled after this incident, I will definitely find his secret base!"
Hermione said viciously, and Harry and Ron nodded in agreement.
When night fell, Harry and Ron got up quietly. Before leaving, they took a last look at Damon's empty bed - Damon didn't come back to spend the night today. Was he practicing spells somewhere again?
They didn't expect that the person they were thinking about at this time had already entered the room under the trapdoor one step ahead of them.
