Chapter 82
""That's brilliant," said Hermione."It's not magic - it's logic - it's a riddle."
"Many of the greatest wizards have no ability to make logical inferences, so they are trapped here forever."
William smiled and did not refute Hermione.
She was still too immature and inexperienced. As long as you are strong enough, nothing can trap you.
Besides, how could the greatest wizards have no ability to make logical inferences? If that were the case, he would not be called the greatest wizard.
"What about us? We can’t get out either, right?"
"Of course not," said Hermione,"everything we need to know is written on this piece of paper."
"Seven bottles: three are poison; two are wine; one will take us safely through the black fire, and the other will send us back through the purple fire."
"But how do we know which bottle to drink?"
"Give me a minute."
William did not break through violently this time. He planned to let Hermione leave here, so as not to hurt her in a fight.
Hermione read the paper several times.
She walked back and forth in front of the 06 rows of bottles, talking to herself, pointing at this or that bottle.
Finally, she clapped her hands happily.
"Got it," she said,"this smallest bottle can help us pass through the black flames - get the Philosopher's Stone."
William looked at the inconspicuous little bottle, which contained very little potion, probably only one sip.
Then he asked,"Which bottle can make you pass through the purple flames and return?"
Hermione pointed to a round bottle on the far right.
"You drink that bottle."William said,"Don't interrupt me, listen to me."
"When you get back, get the broom from the room with the flying keys. I saw one there a while ago. It will carry you through the trapdoor, past Fluffy."
"Then you go straight to the Owlery and send Elise to deliver a letter to Dumbledore. We need him for support."
"There might not only be Snape inside, but also Voldemort. I might be able to temporarily contain Voldemort, and Harry and Ron can work together to hold Snape back, but we are definitely no match for them."
"Only Dumbledore can defeat them, so Hermione, your mission is very important. Whether we can stop Voldemort from making a comeback depends on you!"
Of course, what William said were all lies. He just wanted to keep Hermione away from here to avoid being hurt by Voldemort.
After all, although William is powerful, the reality changes rapidly, and he cannot guarantee that he can protect Hermione without fail.
So it is better to let her leave here and get out of danger completely.
Hermione's lips trembled, and she suddenly rushed to William, stretched out her arms and hugged him
"Hermione is obedient"
"William, you are an amazing wizard!"
Harry and Ron looked confused. Didn't they ask for their opinions? Just decided directly?
Of course, they had no objection to this. As Hermione was the only girl among them, she must be allowed to do something safer.
As for the danger, William, the person who arranged the task, was in the most dangerous place, so they had nothing to say.
William patted Hermione on the back and said with a smile:
"Okay Hermione, drink the potion and leave here first, then go and inform Dumbledore as soon as possible."
""Okay." Hermione agreed.
She took a big sip from the round bottle on the right and shuddered all over.
"It's not poison, is it?" Harry asked worriedly.
"No - but it's like ice, freezing cold."
William urged:"Hurry up, go, it will lose its effect in a while"
"Good luck...be careful……"
""Let's go!" (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Hermione turned around and walked straight through the purple flames.
After Hermione left, Harry looked at the potion in the smallest bottle and asked,"These potions are only enough for one person. William, do you have any ideas?"
As he spoke, he had already grabbed the bottle. If there was no other way, Harry planned to go in alone.
"Don't worry, I have a way. You two should be ready for battle!"
William reminded Harry and Ron, and then walked to the front of the black flame.
""All curses are over!"
This trick always works. A blue light flashed, and the black flames in front of him slowly dissipated, revealing the scene behind the door.
There was still a room behind the door, but there was already a person in it. It was not Snape, nor Voldemort!
It was Quirrell!
William had expected this, but Harry and Ron were stunned. They had always suspected Snape, but why was the person in front of them Quirrell?
"You!" Harry was a little breathless.
"What's going on? Where's Snape?" Ron was confused.
Quirrell smiled.
Now his face didn't twitch at all.
"It's me," he said calmly,"I was just wondering if I would see you here, Potter"
"I didn't expect that no one else came here except you, Potter. It's really interesting."
"But I thought...Snape……"
"Snape?" Quirrell laughed.
This laughter was not his usual shrill trill, but a chilling sneer.
"Yeah, Snape doesn't really look like a good guy, does he? He flies around like a giant bat, which is helpful to us."
"With him there with 623, who would doubt poor, stammering, stammering Prof. Quirrell?"
Harry couldn't believe it.
It couldn't be true, it couldn't be!
"But Snape once tried to kill me!"
"No, no, no, it's me who wants to kill you." Quirrell shook his head smugly.
"During that Quidditch match, Mr. Cavendish next to you accidentally knocked me down... Oh, maybe it wasn't accidental."
Quirrell looked at William's calm appearance, as if William had known all this for a long time.
"He broke my gaze on you. If he had held on for a few more seconds, I would have thrown you off my broomstick."
"If Snape hadn't been there, casting a breaking spell to save your life, I would have thrown you to death."
"Snape wants to save me?" Harry was shocked
"Of course," Chilo said coldly,"Why did he referee your second match? He wanted to make sure I didn't hurt you again."
"It's ridiculous... He shouldn't have bothered with that. I can't do anything with Dumbledore around."
"The other teachers thought Snape wanted to stop Gryffindor from winning, and he certainly made himself unpopular."
"But all this is a waste of time. No matter what, I must kill you tonight."
