Hogwarts: Becoming the White Lord from Breathing

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 had put his beloved student in danger.

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

Some conversations can be had later.

boom.

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

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

"Okay—I'm going to tell you everything, so stop looking at me like that, okay."

"You should have told us everything! All those damn secrets you've discovered, and where you practiced your spells, and everything you've discovered!"

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

"All right—all right—I know. I'll reflect on it later."

Damon waved his hands, calming their emotions and said with a smile:

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

Harry and Ron were startled when they heard this, remembering the fierce battle before. They could hardly imagine that they were the ones who were there.

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

Hermione looked at Damon and asked directly:
"First question, where do you usually practice your spells?"

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

There is such a magical place?!
The three of them looked at each other, and Harry and Ron controlled their temper and said nothing.

Hermione continued:

"Second question, when did you begin to doubt Professor Quirrell?"

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

Harry's breath hitched at this moment.

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

Hermione frowned – how hadn't she smelled it then?
"The third question is, since Professor Quirrell served Voldemort, why did Voldemort never show up during the entire incident?"

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

Damon was thinking about how to tell the truth with limited information.

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

You have no idea how disgusting it is, his face attached to the back of Quirrell's head, making him look like a two-faced man.

I think there's still a chance he could make a comeback - after all, there are far more Death Eaters than just Professor Quirrell, and there are always those who would want him to possess them."

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

So what if Voldemort is about to return? They will start working hard from now on. With Damon standing on their side, they are not afraid at all!
Voldemort? Give it a try!
"The fourth question is, 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 very good relationship. They were childhood sweethearts."

"My mother? And Snape"

Harry pointed at himself, somewhat incredulous.

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

"Yes, after I published White's Theorem, many older wizards became pen pals with me. They told me a lot about their school days, including things about your parents and Snape." "You never told us these things!"

Hermione gave Damon a reproachful look.

"I was wrong. I will tell you more later."

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

"Well, this is a very long story. I could probably not finish telling it even if I talked for hours. Besides, it's the story of their previous generation. It would be a little inappropriate for me to tell you.

In short, your mother once had a good relationship with Professor Snape, so I believe that Professor Snape would not be a bad person.

If you want to know more, you can ask him later if he is willing to tell you."

Harry nodded, complying.

"One last question, Damon White," Hermione looked at him seriously, "Are you sincerely sorry for deceiving us and playing with our feelings?"

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

Damon clasped his hands together and kept waving them at the three of them.

The contrast of such an action coming from him was too great and it looked extremely funny.

But neither Harry nor the other two laughed.

Hermione's mouth turned down, and she suddenly walked forward and hugged Damon.

"I won't forgive you unless—you treat us as seriously as we treat you."

Harry and Ron stopped talking. They came forward together and hugged Damon and Hermione with their arms.

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

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

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

Both Hermione and Ron have changed a lot.

This time, I really went too far.

Thinking of this, he felt even more sorry. He opened his arms and hugged the three people, whispering:
"Um, sorry, this is the last time, I swear."

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

Only after everything was settled did they "dare" to start sulking.

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

But wherever Damon goes, they follow.

Thanks to Damon's presence, Harry did not have to lie in bed for three whole days after the battle with Quirrell as in the original book.

Under the effect of the vitality potion, only one night and one day had passed 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 Illusion Charm and led them through a group of young wizards to the eighth floor. This superb Illusion Charm caused the three of them to have complicated emotions.

Damon looked at the three people who were staring at him without saying a word, and smiled as he walked back and forth three times under the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas silly with a club.

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

Opening the door that suddenly appeared on the wall, Damon performed a welcoming gesture towards the three people.
