Chapter 23 The key to the problem
The second school year after Christmas went on peacefully.
The relationship between Guan Qiong and Hermione has returned to its original state again, thanks to the Christmas gift Guan Qiong gave Hermione.
A kitten pen holder carved by himself.
It took him a lot of effort, but luckily magic can provide some help.
Of course, the carving was done by his own hands, one by one, without the help of magic. When he made a mistake, he would use his wand to cast a recovery spell.
With his precise control, this was not a difficult task.
So given the infinite opportunities for trial and error in a work, he, a person who had never touched sculpture before, carved out a kitten in just a few days.
The kitten's front legs are stretched out, its waist is arched into an arc, its tail is stretched upward, and the tailmost position forms a small circle, where the quill can be placed.
As for why he gave this as a gift, could he say it was because Miss Granger was as cute as a cat?
Of course, his temper is also like that of a cat.
The first time the two met after Christmas was in the library. At that time, Guan Qiong was reading a book. Hermione came to the library and sat next to Guan Qiong.
She took out the kitten pen holder, put it on the table, and curled her lips.
"So ugly."
Guan Qiong waved her magic wand, and tiny light spots flew out, landed on the kitten's body, and formed a pair of small wings on its back.
Hermione laughed. She covered her mouth to suppress her laughter and turned to glare at Guan Qiong, "This makes it even uglier."
Guan Qiong removed the magic, looked at Hermione with a smile, and shrugged.
The afternoon sun shone into the library, and the gentle wind blew through the two of them, bringing a hint of tiredness.
It makes people want to stretch out a lot.
"Okay, it's not that ugly." Hermione suddenly said with a smile, stretched out her hands, and rubbed the surface of the kitten with her fingertips. It was not smooth, but every surface was carefully processed.
As a result, the relationship between the two reconciled.
Harry and Ron were the happiest among them. When they saw Guan Qiong returning to the Gryffindor lounge with Hermione, they rushed up to ask Guan Qiong about Nico Flamel.
They have been tortured crazy, and they have read more books during this period than they had in the previous ten years of their lives combined.
Even in his dream, Ron was still thinking about what kind of person Nico Flamel was, and the last thing he dreamed about was an old man with white hair and a white beard riding a broom to catch the Golden Snitch.
The next day he went to borrow the historical Quidditch player records, especially the elderly players.
"This is a revelation given to me by the God of Quidditch, and I'm sure that Nico Flamel is among them." Ron said with certainty.
"So what Dumbledore hid on the fourth floor is actually the signature of a Quidditch player, and Nico Flamel is his idol?" Hermione asked pointedly.
"It's not impossible." Although Ron said, he did not open the record book again.
Guan Qiong estimated that it was almost time and was about to tell them about Nico Flamel's situation, but Hermione covered his mouth.
Guan Qiong looked at Hermione in confusion.
He doesn't speak with his mouth.
Hermione put her hand down with a blush on her face, coughed twice, and said: "I know you still don't believe that Snape will harm Harry. Next time you watch the Quidditch match with us, he will definitely
He will take action again, and then you can tell Dumbledore and ask him to deal with Snape and protect the thing on the fourth floor."
"Come on, Joan doesn't like Quidditch, although I can't understand why anyone wouldn't like Quidditch." Ron complained.
"Everyone has their own hobbies, Ron. Just because you like it, you can't think that the whole world likes it." Harry said.
"Of course I know," Ron muttered.
What made them happy was that Hermione no longer asked them to read those books as thick as city wall bricks to find Nico Flamel. They only needed to wait for the next Quidditch match, and Guan Qiong would naturally tell them.
In fact, it won't matter if you know Nico Flamel by then. All you need is for Guan Qiong to believe that Snape is trying to get through the room on the fourth floor to get the things Dumbledore has hidden, and to kill him.
In order to show his loyalty to the mysterious person, Guan Qiong can directly warn Dumbledore.
And based on the importance of Guan Qiong in Dumbledore's heart, they believed that Dumbledore would definitely take action personally to capture Snape and send him to Azkaban.
Therefore, the focus now is no longer to find what Nico Flamel and Dumbledore hid, but to prove everything to Guan Qiong.
And the best way is to let him witness it with his own eyes.
And when they knew that Snape would be the referee in the next game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, they realized that their opportunity had come.
"Snape will definitely not be able to help but take action in the next game. Joan, you must go." Hermione looked at Guan Qiong solemnly.
The same was true for Harry and Ron next to them. Harry's expression was both scared and excited.
He had thought about what might happen to him. He might be thrown directly from the air by Snape with a curse, or he might be cursed. He might even inadvertently have a poisonous potion sprinkled on him.
body, causing him to die in pain.
But when he thought that his sacrifice could bring about Snape's failure, Dumbledore's vigilance, and the mysterious man's failure to make a comeback, he felt that everything was worth it, and he felt extremely honored for it.
The blood was flowing hotly in his heart, almost burning through his heart, so that people could see what he had dedicated to justice.
Guan Qiong looked at their eyes, Harry's determination, Ron's excitement, and Hermione's justice, and her heart moved.
In fact, many times his impression of them is what they will look like when they grow up, but ignores that now, they are still just eleven or twelve year old children.
Maybe I am acting impulsively, not thinking comprehensively enough, and full of childlike thinking and fairy tale-like fantasy.
But isn’t that why they are the protagonists?
Even I was unintentionally moved by this behavior and quality, and wanted to join them in fighting the evil Snape and protecting the Philosopher's Stone.
"I will go. Speaking of which, I have never watched a Quidditch match." Guan Qiong's wand flew out of light.
It’s not a bad idea to go and see football in the wizarding world, otherwise you won’t be able to say you are a wizard when you go out in the future.
"Okay!" Harry and Ron cheered, as if they had won, and Hermione also had a smile on her face.
Guan Qiong just smiled and didn't pay much attention.
There was still a week left before the Quidditch match. During this time, the trio was in very high spirits, as if they had seen Snape being caught and Dumbledore praising them for their intelligence and bravery.
Even the matter of Nico Flamel was temporarily forgotten by them. After all, as long as they caught Snape, no matter what it was, it would be safe.
