Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 748
After being reprimanded by Hermione, Harry left somewhat reluctantly.

To be precise, Hermione suggested that Harry stay and study for the final exams with her, but Harry made an excuse that he had more important things to do and fled the library.

Harry decided to go find Tyella again.

"Tierra! Tierra!" Harry called out as he arrived at the Dark Arts Office and knocked on the door.

"Oh, what is it, Harry?" Tierra asked, opening the door with a sigh.

Since final exams were approaching, most classes had already ended, so even though it was nine or ten in the morning, Harry's blatant knocking wouldn't affect Tyella's class.

"Tierra, it's about the same thing as before, the Malfoy thing," Harry said anxiously.

"Oh well, come in." Tierra stepped aside to let Harry in.

“Tierra, I’m 99 percent sure Draco Malfoy wants to steal the Philosopher’s Stone that you’ve worked so hard to create.” Harry said immediately as soon as he entered the Dark Arts classroom, before even sitting down.

“Yes, I’m 99 percent sure Draco Malfoy is going to steal the Philosopher’s Stone.” Tierra sighed and made Harry a cup of hot milk tea. “But I’m an enlightened teacher, a fair and benevolent leader, and a law enforcer who separates public and private matters. I can’t sentence a minor wizard without evidence or trial, let alone impose any real punishment. Draco Malfoy’s father may be guilty, but he’s just a bully who uses his father’s power to bully others.”

“But if he’s going to steal the Philosopher’s Stone,” Harry wanted to continue arguing.

“Don’t worry, Harry, the Philosopher’s Stone is currently in the Room of Requirement. Draco Malfoy wouldn’t even be able to get in if he didn’t know the correct experimental conditions. And the correct experimental conditions…” Tierra smiled meaningfully, then pointed to the thick notebook on her desk, “There are only three copies in total. I have one here, Professor Horace Slughorn has one, and Hermione has one too.”

“But Hermione’s is incomplete; it’s from before she was kicked out of the research group,” Tierra said. “My and Slughorn’s are the latest versions.” “However, Hermione might also have the settings for the final program of the Philosopher’s Stone crafting,” Tierra added. “After all, Hermione was the one who initially participated as a calculator.”

"Then I'll have to remind Hermione to keep a close eye on her lab notes!" Harry said excitedly.

"Wait, wait a minute, Harry!" Tierra sighed and pressed Harry back into his chair. "Have you finished reviewing for your final exams?"

"Huh?" Harry, slightly embarrassed by Tyrell's question, blushed and said, "Hurry up and finish your studies."

"Almost done reviewing?" Tierra raised an eyebrow. "So that means you haven't finished reviewing, Harry. There are only two weeks left until the final exams. How many subjects do you think you can guarantee an O or E?"

"But the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry wondered, at a loss for words, trying to argue.

“Hermione’s right, I can protect you. Now you can stay here and study hard.” Tyella said, taking a stack of test papers from under the podium in the Dark Arts classroom and slamming them onto the desk in front of Harry.

“Well, these are some calculations I did during my godhood ceremony. I’ll give them to you as practice questions,” Tiera said. “Of course, I definitely won’t test these questions on the actual final exam, but some calculation problems are similar in type.”

"No—!" Harry cried out in despair.

"Yes—!" Voldemort shouted excitedly from thousands of miles away, spying through Harry's mind.
