Chapter 67 The Warmth of the Heart

  The Philosopher's Stone was taken away by Dumbledore.

  With Nicolas Flamel's consent, he decided to destroy the stone that put his beloved student in danger.

  As for the next time, he decided to leave it to the children.

  Some conversations can be carried out later.

  Bang.

  After the door closed gently, Harry and Ron stopped making noise and quietly got off Damon.

  Hermione stood with them, her face was about to cry, but they still looked at Damon stubbornly.

  "Okay - I'll tell you everything, so don't look at me like that, okay."

  "You should have told us everything! Whether it's those damn secrets you've discovered, or the place where you practiced spells, or everything you discovered!"

  "That's right! We are friends, you shouldn't hide anything from your friends!"

  "Okay - okay - I know, I will definitely reflect on it later."

  Damon waved his hand, calming their emotions, and smiled:

  "But after this time, you should understand how important daily accumulation is, right?"

  Harry and Ron were stunned when they heard this, thinking of the fierce battle before, and it was almost unimaginable that the people at that time were actually them.

  "Don't try to change the subject, Damon, you said you would tell us everything."

  Hermione looked at Damon and asked directly:

  "The first question, where do you practice spells on weekdays?"

  "In a magical room, that room can become any scene that the user needs, I call it the Room of Requirement."

  There is such a magical place? !

  The three looked at each other, and Harry and Ron restrained their temper and didn't speak.

  Hermione continued to ask:

  "Second question, when did you start to suspect Professor Quirrell?"

  "Well - very early." Seeing Hermione staring at him, Damon smiled and said, "During the Quidditch match, he cast a spell on Harry, and I already regarded him as an enemy."

  Harry's breathing paused at this time.

  "Later in the Forbidden Forest, you all said it was Snape, but I am very sure that the man was Professor Quirrell. I could smell the garlic stench on him even if I was three meters away. It was really disgusting, wasn't it?"

  Hermione frowned - why didn't she smell it at that time?

  "Third question, since Professor Quirrell serves Voldemort, why didn't Voldemort appear from beginning to end in the whole incident?"

  "Well, because Voldemort is in a very special state now."

  Damon thought about how to tell the truth with limited information.

  "His soul is attached to Quirrell. After I defeated Quirrell, he lost his place to stay, but I can feel that his soul has not been destroyed.

  You don't know how disgusting it is. His face is attached to the back of Quirrell's head, and he looks like a two-faced man.

  I think he still has the possibility of making a comeback - after all, there are far more Death Eaters than Professor Quirrell, and there will always be a sucker who wants him to possess them."

  Harry and Ron pursed their lips, but there was not much timidity in their eyes - after experiencing the previous battle, they believed that they could defeat anything.

  What if Voldemort is about to make a comeback? They will work hard from now on. With Damon standing on the same front with them, they are not afraid at all!

  Voldemort? Let's give it a try!

  "The fourth question, you seem to trust Professor Snape very much, why? Didn't he threaten Professor Quirrell?"

  "Well - this involves a secret." Damon looked at Harry, "Do you know, Harry, your mother and Professor Snape actually have a good relationship. They were childhood sweethearts when they were young."

  "My mother? And Snape"

  Harry pointed at himself, a little unbelievable.

  Ron opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but held it back.

  "Yes, after I published the White Theorem, many older wizards became pen pals with me. They told me a lot about their school days, including your parents and Snape."   

  "You never told us these things!"

  Hermione looked at Damon with a reproachful look.

  "I'm wrong. I will tell you more in the future."

  Harry looked at Damon with a longing look on his face. "My parents, what kind of people are they? Why do they know Snape?"

  "Well - this is a very long story. It may take hours to tell it. Moreover, this is the story of their previous generation. If I tell you, it is somewhat inappropriate.

  In short, your mother had a good relationship with Professor Snape. For this reason, I trust that Professor Snape is not a bad person.

  If you want to know more information, you might as well ask him yourself in the future - if he is willing to tell you."

  Harry nodded and followed the advice.

  "The last question, Damon White," Hermione looked at him seriously, "Do you sincerely repent for deceiving us and playing with our feelings?"

  "Well, I apologize, I repent, I have seriously reflected on it, sorry! Please forgive me this time!"

  Damon put his hands together and kept shaking them at the three people.

  Such an action made by him was too contrasting and looked very funny.

  But Harry and the other two did not laugh.

  Hermione's mouth curved downwards, and she suddenly walked forward and hugged Damon.

  "I won't forgive you unless - you take us as seriously as we take you."

  Harry and Ron stopped talking, and they all came up and hugged Damon and Hermione with their arms.

  Damon was hugged by the three people, feeling the real, warm heartbeat.

  He suddenly realized clearly that he was not living in a fairy tale, but in a - real world.

  The people here are all alive, they are characters in the story, but at the same time, they are also living people.

  Whether it is Hermione or Ron, they have changed a lot.

  This time, he really went too far.

  Thinking of this, he felt even more sorry, opened his arms and hugged the three people, whispering:

  "Well, sorry, this is the last time, I swear."

  When they separated, Harry and the other two looked a little uncomfortable.

  After everything was settled, they "dared" to start sulking.

  The three began to stop talking to Damon, and even stopped talking to each other.

  But wherever Damon went, they would follow.

  Thanks to Damon's presence, Harry didn't have to lie in bed for three whole days as in the original book because of the battle with Quirrell.

  Under the effect of the vitality potion, it was actually only a short night and day since they fell into a coma.

  After Madam Pomfrey confirmed that they had recovered, she did not stop them from leaving the hospital.

  Damon cast an Disillusionment Charm and led them through a group of young wizards to the eighth floor - this superb Disillusionment Charm made the three people feel complicated.

  Damon looked at the three people who didn't speak but just stared at him, and smiled as he walked back and forth three times under the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas silly with a stick.

  "Okay, let me show you my secret base."

  Opening the door that suddenly appeared on the wall, Damon welcomed the three people.
