Chapter 97 I Have Waited for a Long Time and Finally Waited Until Today

At night, the silvery moonlight casts a cold color on Hogwarts Castle.

Seen from a distance, the castle stands in the darkness, with the bright full moon hanging in the sky. Under the reflection of the stars, the thousand-year-old castle of Hogwarts has a sense of mystery.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Quirrell, wearing a black cloak, looked at Hogwarts Castle in the distance. His lips clearly did not move, but he made a strange sound.

"Yes...yes, master." Quirrell said tremblingly.

"Dumbledore has gone to the Ministry of Magic. We have all night to act." The voice sounded again.

"But...but..."

Quirrell said in fear: "Master, will Dumbledore be fooled so easily?"

The voice said: "Of course he won't, but he will act like he was deceived. If you are familiar with Dumbledore, you will know that he is a very hypocritical person."

Seeing that Quirrell didn't speak, the voice sneered: "Do you think Dumbledore didn't notice me? ...No! He already knew that I was possessing you, but he had other plans, so he didn't take action. "

"Other plans?" Quirrell asked doubtfully.

Things have not been easy for Quirrell these days.

Voldemort wants to regain his strength. He has been sleeping for several months, only waking up when he drinks unicorn blood, and then gives Quirrell new orders.

As for the encounter with Professor Tang En, it was actually just a coincidence.

Professor Tang En entered the Forbidden Forest to look for lecture materials, and happened to encounter Quirrell who attacked the unicorn. The two sides had different positions, so naturally a war broke out.

Since Voldemort was awake at the time, Professor Tang En was naturally no match.

They were defeated after just a moment of fighting.

Now that he had attacked the professor, Voldemort naturally did not want to wait any longer.

He used the Cruciatus Curse and Legilimency to obtain a lot of useful information, but the most critical information was never available.

The Magic Stone...is it still in the restricted area on the fourth floor?

So Voldemort used Malfoy's hidden secret.

It is not difficult to modify Malfoy's memory. His father Malfoy Sr. is a Death Eater. Judging from Malfoy's family education, he actually admires Voldemort.

He only needs to start from this point to make Malfoy work for him.

Malfoy's investigation was successful.

Although Dumbledore arrived in time, Voldemort had already obtained the information he wanted - the Philosopher's Stone was hidden in the restricted area on the fourth floor.

So the next task is to transfer Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.

Back to business.

"If Dumbledore had no other plans, do you think he would turn a blind eye to the Forbidden Forest?"

Voldemort's tone was full of mockery, "What did he think that brat could do? Harry Potter...the legendary Boy-Who-Lived...was just lucky."

Harry Potter was just an ordinary baby, but that woman...

Even today, Voldemort still cannot understand what happened that night.

His killing curse was rebounded just like that.

"Harry Potter?" Quirrell was a little confused. This was the first time in these days that Voldemort had said so many words to him.

"If it weren't for Harry Potter, Dumbledore would have taken action on you long ago."

Voldemort didn't want to recall what happened that night, so he abruptly changed the subject, "Go, my faithful servant! Once you get the Philosopher's Stone, I will give you everything, including eternal life and the secret to prevent death."

Over the past few days, Voldemort has been secretly planning to play games with Dumbledore, and he is naturally aware of Dumbledore's thoughts.

He was extremely happy about this.

The more Dumbledore valued Harry Potter, the more he proved his powerlessness over himself.

Dumbledore is really old.

Voldemort was clearly aware of this.

As long as he can be resurrected... he can have everything.

For resurrection, the magic stone is not necessarily needed. The magic stone is just the current optimal solution.

There is another way…

The bones of the father, the blood of the enemy, the flesh of the servant...the three are combined to reshape the body, and naturally it can be resurrected.

Voldemort has decided that if he fails to steal the Sorcerer's Stone this time, he will use that method to resurrect him.

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Yes...yes, master!" Quirrell shuddered.

Quirrell looked up at Hogwarts Castle, and then walked towards the castle tremblingly.

…

Tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful.

At the door of the Gryffindor common room, Harry, wearing an invisibility cloak, tiptoed forward quietly.

After walking a few dozen steps, Ron pulled Harry hard, almost splitting him in half.

"What's wrong?" Harry turned around and asked.

Ron was shaking all over, pointing a trembling finger at the corner of the wall, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"Harry...Potter...!"

A low murmur seemed to carry a wanton joy.

Snape stood against the wall like a black shadow, and he didn't know how Ron found out.

"Snape!" Harry exclaimed.

Snape had an obvious look of disgust on his face, "You are just like your father, arrogant and stupid..."

"My father is not arrogant," Harry argued with a blush.

Snape waved his wand, and a bright light flashed from the tip of the wand.

He used his wand to pry open Harry's invisibility cloak, and said in a contemptuous tone: "So there is a Weasley... Is our famous savior and his followers ready to save the world again?"

Ron's face flushed red, and he wanted to pull out his wand and hit Snape in the face.

Harry looked at Snape, "Someone wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, you should know, right?"

Although Harry has always suspected Snape, Dumbledore vouched for Snape, and Harry chose to believe it even if he was reluctant.

Especially in this situation tonight-he couldn't resist at all.

Snape showed a hint of sneer, "It seems that our savior wants to protect the Philosopher's Stone?"

In order to wait for this day, Snape has stayed up for several consecutive nights. If it weren't for the potion, he would not be able to hold on.

After meeting Andy on the fourth floor of the castle that night, Snape realized something.

There was an attack at school. With Harry's character, he might want to be a hero alone like his father and catch the attacker behind the scenes alone.

So after talking with Dumbledore that night, Snape came to the Gryffindor dormitory and started blocking the door.

Two days later, Harry really caught him in the act.

"The Philosopher's Stone is in danger now!" Harry shouted relentlessly.

Snape sneered, "Dumbledore will personally take action to solve this matter. I think you two are more dangerous than the Philosopher's Stone."
