Chapter 79 Peaceful Years and Moving Forward with Burdens

In mid-January, there was another heavy snowfall in the castle.

After returning to Hogwarts for more than half a month, Andy's life has returned to its previous peace.

Classes, reading, practicing magic, and teasing little witches.

This is his daily routine.

However, unlike before the Christmas holiday, Andy occasionally goes to the library of Ravenclaw to read books - just for entertainment.

It doesn't matter whether he can trigger an adventure, the key is to love reading.

Unfortunately, Andy went again and again, but he couldn't complete the achievement of "reading all the books in one night".

Last week, Andy finally saved up five potential points again and increased his [Transfiguration] talent to level 5.

The improvement of talent made Andy more handy in Transfiguration. Even Professor McGonagall said that Andy could already study higher-level courses.

In fact, Andy had already done so.

Professor McGonagall also gave Andy a notebook on biological transformation, allowing Andy to study biological transformation privately.

Andy was overjoyed.

…

However, people’s fates are often different.

Andy’s life was peaceful, but Harry and Ron were struggling.

Ever since he discovered Snape’s ‘conspiracy’ and learned about Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher’s Stone from Andy, Harry felt that he had a heavy responsibility.

He had to do something.

This matter started a few days ago.

The day after writing to Dumbledore, Harry and Ron received a reply from Dumbledore.

It must be said that Dumbledore also put a lot of thought into training Harry.

Since learning that Harry couldn’t even perform the Unlocking Charm, Dumbledore changed his way of thinking about training Harry.

Harry was actually quite talented in magic, but he didn’t like to study.

Since magic wasn’t good, let’s cultivate courage!

Harry was indeed worthy of praise in this regard.

This kid looked thin and cowardly, but he was very courageous.

But if you want to fight Voldemort, courage alone is not enough, wisdom and strength must also be combined.

So Dumbledore has always wanted to find some assistants for Harry.

However...

Look at Harry's roommates!

Ron is as reckless as Harry, Seamus is a genius at blasting, Neville is an amnesiac, and the remaining Dean Thomas doesn't have a good relationship with Harry.

Not to mention the girls.

The first year of Gryffindor, which is so big, can't even find a good little wizard.

Ron's brothers are not bad, but the seniors and juniors can't play together.

As for Ron's other friend, Andy Collins.

Dumbledore tried, but Andy didn't get along!

These days, Dumbledore hesitated several times, otherwise... just terminate the plan.

This savior... let's rely on fate in the future!

But Harry didn't think so. He felt that he had a heavy responsibility and he had the obligation to protect the Philosopher's Stone.

After class on Friday, Harry pulled Ron out of the castle quickly.

"Harry, where are you going?" Ron asked hurriedly.

"Go find Hagrid. I thought of something."

Harry said seriously, "Although the Ministry of Magic sent people to investigate the fourth floor of the castle, Professor Dumbledore did not move the Philosopher's Stone."

"You mean..." Ron suddenly realized.

"That's right!"

Harry nodded excitedly, "Last time Hagrid said that he was also responsible for protecting the Philosopher's Stone, and no one could get past Luwei. If Snape wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, the easiest way is to get Hagrid to deal with Luwei."

Ron said in a dilemma, "But Professor Dumbledore said that the person who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone was not Snape."

Dumbledore wrote in his reply to Harry and Ron that someone did want to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and the owner of the Philosopher's Stone, Nicolas Flamel, personally entrusted him to protect the Philosopher's Stone for a period of time.

And the person who tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone was not Snape.

"No matter who it is, if he wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, he must get through Fluffy."

Harry said confidently: "And his only way is to get information from Hagrid."

Ron nodded in agreement, and then asked curiously: "Harry, what exactly is Fluffy?"

Poor Harry and Ron, since they were caught for the last night tour and deducted 100 points, they have had a shadow on the corridor on the fourth floor of the castle, and they dare not step into it until now.

Let alone the three-headed dog, they have never seen even three hairs.

"Let's ask Hagrid later!" Harry said.

The two quickly came to Hagrid's hut, Harry moved forward and knocked on the door, and there were a few dog barks in the house. After a while, the door was opened and a huge figure pushed the door and walked out.

"Oh, it's you, Harry, Ron!"

Hagrid comforted the big dog and invited the two to come in warmly, "Come in, it's cold outside."

Hagrid's hut has only one room, and the layout of the house seems a bit messy. There are a lot of dried meat and ham hanging by the window. There is also a stove in the house, and the patched bed is placed against the wall on the right.

"Come and sit down." Hagrid greeted warmly, and took some rock cakes to share with Harry and Ron.

Harry and Ron twitched their mouths.

They tasted rock cakes the first time they came here, and that time, they almost knocked their teeth out.

"Thank you!" Harry thanked politely, but refused to taste it.

"How are your studies recently?" Hagrid asked.

Ron made a bitter face, "It's the same as before. Snape has gone crazy recently. He deducted more than 20 points from us."

Hagrid snorted twice when he heard this. He didn't want to comment on the professors of Hogwarts.

"Hagrid!"

Harry asked, "Has anyone contacted you recently?"

"What?" Hagrid looked puzzled.

Harry repeated his suspicions, and then said with certainty, "If someone wants to pass the corridor on the fourth floor, the best way is to find out from you how to pass the Luwei level."

"This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Hagrid was a little angry, "I shouldn't have revealed the news about Nicolas Flamel. Harry, Hogwarts is safe. No one can steal the Philosopher's Stone, and no one can pass the Luwei level."

Ron looked at Harry. He actually thought that the Philosopher's Stone was safe in Hogwarts.

"Hagrid, Professor Dumbledore has admitted that someone wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone."

Harry looked at Hagrid seriously, "Hagrid, have you encountered any strange things recently?"

Strange things?

Hagrid stared at Harry with his eyes wide open.

He thought Harry shouldn't be involved in this, and then he recalled whether he had encountered any strange things recently.

"No! Nothing strange!"

Hagrid was a little annoyed by the questioning, and he waved his hand, "If you want to talk about strange things, the Forbidden Forest has been a little strange recently, but it has nothing to do with the Philosopher's Stone."

Forbidden Forest! ?

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and they seemed to have discovered something.
