Chapter 95 Daphne: Feeling Targeted (Happy New Year’s Day!)
"Great! Snape is not ready to steal the Philosopher's Stone yet!" After Snape walked away, Harry became excited.
Daphne:? !
Her eyes were wide with anger and shock.
She found it really difficult to communicate effectively with people like Potter - if she couldn't see Professor Snape, it meant that Professor Snape had gone to steal the Philosopher's Stone; if she saw Professor Snape, that meant that he hadn't done anything yet. Good preparation for stealing the magic stone. Co-author: Professor Snape must be the villain anyway? !
She felt herself getting angry again.
"Can you please stop being unreasonable!" Daphne didn't want to "play house" with the two children anymore. She just wanted to go to the school hospital to check on Les's condition.
She thought it was ridiculous that Les was poisoned by the potion he prepared. There was a greater chance that Dumbledore would choke on a mint and end up in St. Mungo's!
There must be something hidden in it, and she had to find out.
Seeing that Daphne wanted to leave, Harry hurriedly ran to her and blocked her way - if she left, he and Ron wouldn't even be able to get past Lu Wei.
"Wait a minute, Daphne, please believe me!" Harry said very earnestly: "I'm very sure that Voldemort is plotting the Sorcerer's Stone. I have to enter that corridor. I can't watch. The magic stone was taken away by him."
"Daphne, if the Philosopher's Stone falls into the hands of Voldemort, he will definitely come back. At that time, all the good things in Hogwarts and even the entire magical world will be wiped out. Voldemort and his lackeys will burn the school to the ground, or Turn it into a school dedicated to teaching black magic. In the process, I don’t know how many people will die - if I want to survive, I have to kneel down and be his servant or dog. If I fail, I was just killed by him. If I hadn't stopped him, wouldn't I have been killed by him? I would have just died a little later than now, because I would never have taken refuge in him. Voldemort killed my parents. ! Can you understand this kind of hatred? I must go through that trap door, and I will bear all the responsibilities!"
Daphne couldn't help but feel a little moved. Harry's words really touched her and made her rationality waver a little.
Her last remaining sanity drove her to ask: "What if you got the Sorcerer's Stone, but was intercepted by that person and the stone was snatched away? It is now protected by Professor Dumbledore and is very safe. ”
"Then I will guard the last level of the guard level. If Voldemort wants to get the Sorcerer's Stone, he will have to step over my body." Harry said in a decisive tone.
Harry's determined eyes successfully persuaded Daphne, and she felt that she should help Harry - since he was already ready for enlightenment, she should not waste his enlightenment.
"Daphne, you don't have to get involved at all. I just ask you to do me two favors: First, lend me this bottle of potion - if Les can't explain it well, I can bid for it. My parents He left me a large sum of money, ten times or a hundred times the market price. Second, when Professor Dumbledore comes back tomorrow, please tell him about Ron and I entering the corridor. That's it. Two things, do these two things for me, and I can repay you with anything in the future!”
Daphne pursed her lips, and after pondering for a few seconds, she gave her answer.
"Harry, I'm sorry, I can't do either of those two things."
Harry's eyes dimmed, but regained their vigor the next second, because Daphne said -
"This bottle of potion needs professionals to use it, so I can't lend it to you, so let me do it myself. As for informing Dumbledore, I can't do it, because I also have to be with you. Cross that trap door - we can't let you Gryffindor students act cool all the time, right? It would make us look like villains if we don't show some real skills."
"Daphne, you..." Harry felt as if his throat was choked by something. He didn't expect that Daphne was actually willing to run under the trap door with him to protect the Philosopher's Stone.
There are still good people in Slytherin House! For example, Daphne, Les, and...well, I can't think of anything, but there must be good people out there!
"Let's go," Daphne urged.
"Walk!"
The three of them walked all the way up and headed straight to the fourth floor corridor.
When they came to the door in the four-arm corridor, the three of them all changed their faces - the closed door was now open a crack.
Seeing the half-open door, they clearly realized what they were about to face. Now even Daphne was convinced that someone was stealing the Philosopher's Stone.
"Well, you saw it," Harry glanced at Daphne and whispered: "Snape, well, the man who coveted the Sorcerer's Stone has successfully passed Lu Wei."
After receiving a glare from Daphne, Harry chose to change his story.
"Move over, stay away from me." Daphne pushed the two obstructive little boys aside, and then opened the crystal bottle left by Les.
Driven by magic power, the sleeping potion prepared by Les floated in through the crack of the door. Behind the door, Lu Wei's breathing gradually became long and steady, and he soon fell asleep.
After waiting a few seconds for all the remaining potion in the room to be inhaled by Lu Wei, Daphne opened the door. Behind the door, Lu Wei, a three-headed dog, was sleeping soundly, with a harp at his feet.
"It seems like Louie's weakness is music." Harry walked to Louie's feet, and after taking some effort to move the big dog's paw aside, the trap door that it had been guarding for a whole school year was exposed.
The trap door opened to reveal a hole. Harry looked down through the hole. It was dark below and he couldn't see what was going on at the bottom.
Harry held the edge of the hole with his hands. Watching his movements, Daphne had a bad feeling: He didn't want to jump in directly, right?
"Hey, wait-" Before Daphne could finish her words, Harry jumped down.
Daphne felt a little suffocated: If it was deep down there or there were some traps at the bottom, Harry would be dead!
She didn't dare to neglect, so she cast a floating magic on herself and floated down along the entrance of the cave.
As she slowly descended, Daphne was on alert. Her energy was not in vain. About four or five seconds later, a "swish" sound came from the air, and several crossbow arrows with cold light shot towards her from all angles. Daphne waved her wand and used a protective spell to protect them. All bounced away.
‘There is indeed a trap. ' Daphne narrowed her eyes, and now she began to worry about what happened to Harry - would he have been smashed into a puddle of meat, or been shot into a sieve by a crossbow?
When she landed, Daphne was shocked: not only was there no trap on the ground, but there was a soft thing on the ground to absorb the shock of those who jumped down!
Harry stood on top of the mass, alive and well, seemingly uninjured.
‘Is it because you fell so fast that you didn’t trigger the crossbow trap on the wall? ’ A realization dawned on her.
Daphne felt as if she was being targeted - was the trap here only for masters? !
