Hogwarts: Nagini captured at the start

Chapter 101: Suddenly I had a feeling I'd fallen into a trap.

Dumbledore looked at the Viper's dependence on the boy's doting affection and smiled with relief. "I thought she would hide in some secluded valley or forest, living like a wild beast. But I never expected to meet her again in the Hogwarts underground. Robin, you've taken good care of her."

After saying that, he waved his wand and conjured six bright red apples. When Nagini saw the red apples, its eyes widened. It stopped rubbing against its master's chest and swam towards Dumbledore, wagging its tail.

It swam a meter away, but then stopped and looked back at its owner. Robin had no choice but to follow. When it swam to Dumbledore, it didn't bite the red apple, but instead gently rubbed its head against its owner's shoulder.

"Sir, give me the apple, I'll feed it."

Seeing Dumbledore nod in agreement, Robin reached out and gathered the six apples in his arms. He tossed one into the air, and the green viper pounced on it and bit it. After feeding the viper all six, he took out a cotton handkerchief and wiped the apple juice off its jaws.

The green viper enjoyed its meal, coiling itself around its owner in multiple loops. Finally, it rested its head on the owner's shoulder, its eyes half-closed in satisfaction.

"She needs to rest for a while to recover the energy she used up in the fight."

Robin understood the implication in his words, so he waved his wand and chanted a spell (pretending), causing the green viper to disappear into thin air.

"Sir, the Philosopher's Stone, it..."

"It has been destroyed. Several days ago, Nicolas Flamel and I exchanged letters, and we both agreed that the Philosopher's Stone should no longer exist in the world."

"Nico and I don't care who ruined it or under what circumstances; we only care about the outcome that 'it was ruined.' But the world is too curious, so we need to agree on what to say."

Dumbledore looked around and nodded, saying, "Just say it was destroyed by the Mirror of Erised. Hmm, that's a good idea. Many people firmly believe that the mirror has other magical functions besides reflecting people's deepest desires. No one has discovered this because the mirror hides those functions very well."

"But."

"There's nothing else to say. Nico and his wife Perena were already prepared to face death. They had achieved many things in their lives that others could only dream of. But death was something they had never experienced. So, they were ready for a great adventure."

After saying that, Dumbledore walked around the pebbles and went to Harry's side. He lifted his robes and knelt down to carefully examine Harry's injuries. "Fortunately, there are no vital injuries. If we want him to wake up sooner, we'll need Madam Pomfrey's help. But moving him from here to the first floor won't be easy, cough cough."

Seeing someone cough lightly and seem about to reach out to pick up Harry, Robin quickly said, "Let me do it, sir."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction.

Luo Bin: (；一_一), I suddenly have a feeling that I've been tricked. What happened?

Robin walked to the Magic Mirror, carried Harry on his back, and then followed Dumbledore back to the Silver Key level. When they reached the level, Robin grabbed two flying broomsticks and rushed out of the Living Wood tunnel.

When Lou Williams saw Dumbledore among the people rushing out, he not only didn't yell, but also wagged his tail. When he handed Harry over to Madam Pomfrey, he saw Hermione and Ron in the next ward.

"Ms. Pomfrey examined Ron and said he was fine and in good health, but he kept complaining of foot pain, back pain, headaches and such. The school doctor was so annoyed that he had to arrange a private room for him. If he were put in a public room, he would be too noisy for the other patients to rest."

Hermione said in a hoarse voice.

"I'm not lying, I'm really in pain, Robin, do you believe me?"

Ron gripped the sheet and said angrily, recalling how the school doctor and Hermione had looked at him with suspicion and scrutiny.

I believe you.

"See, Robin believes me. I didn't lie at all," Ron shouted, slapping the blanket hard.

Robin: Hmm, how can you not believe me? My broken ankle, back injury from hitting the wall, head injury—I treated them all myself. However, even after Ron recovered, he still felt pain in the areas where he was injured. Was it psychological, or was there a bug in Jasmine's "super healing" ability?

Psychological factors or a skill bug? Try it and you'll find out.

Robin got up, poured a glass of warm water, and then threw a "depth charge" into it. After the sugar had dissolved and boiled, he handed the water to Ron.

"Drink up, I added some painkiller powder to the water (Jasmine's mental comfort skill)."

"Robin, Ms. Pomfrey said Ron is fine. All medicines have side effects, so he can't drink them."

Hermione reached for the cup after speaking, but Ron turned around, tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and gulped it down in one go. He even burped, "Mmm, tastes like lime soda. Robin, you poured the wrong powder, didn't you? Huh, it doesn't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt anymore, I... I'm healed?!"

Ron happily threw off the covers and jumped around on the bed. Robin walked over to Hermione and whispered, "I didn't put painkiller powder in the water. I added lime-flavored popping candy. His pain is just psychological."

"Mrs. Pomfrey thinks so too, but Ron doesn't believe her and refuses to drink the tranquilizer," Hermione whispered in reply.

After jumping until he was tired, Ron sat down cross-legged and asked Robin what had happened. Hermione eagerly brought over two four-legged stools, her brown eyes filled with curiosity.

After preparing his speech, Robin sat down and recounted to the two of them in detail the events, including the Blackfire, Quirrell, the Mirror of Erised, the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort, and the Battle of Quirrell.

Of course, the parts involving the Rubik's Cube's secrets were automatically erased by him.

Hermione and Ron listened intently with wide eyes the whole time. Whenever they heard the thrilling and dangerous parts, they were so tense that they couldn't breathe. In particular, when they heard Quirrell take off his purple turban and turn around to reveal Voldemort's hideous face, Ron screamed out loud.

"The Philosopher's Stone is destroyed, so does that mean 'that person' will never recover and rise again?"

Ron was shocked after hearing the entire (edited) version of the fight.

Robin shook his head. "Without the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort's plans will only be delayed for a while. I have a feeling he'll come back here to cause trouble. Oh, by the way, after returning from the potions puzzle, you two didn't encounter any other problems, did you?"

Hermione nodded. "Yes, but very little. The stinky troll's corpse was gone. I guess Quirrell cast a delayed Apparition spell on it. I dragged Ron, who was yelling in pain, out of the Living Wood tunnel. I sang until my voice was hoarse to avoid being bitten by Fluffy. Then, Ron and I split up; he went to the hospital, and I went to the Owl's Shack. And then, Robin, guess what?"

Later, somewhere, you bumped into the principal.

Hermione looked astonished upon hearing this. "Yes, you guessed right. Before I could even speak, he said, 'Lestrange and Potter, you've gone to keep an eye on Quirrell, haven't you?' And before I could even nod, he headed straight upstairs, faster than when Snape caught Harry in a mistake."
