Hogwarts: Nagini captured at the start

Chapter 102 When the Warm-Hearted Man Sheds Tears of Sadness

"Do you think the headmaster might have known all along that Quirrell and 'that person' were up to something? But if that's the case, why didn't he get rid of Quirrell before things got too complicated?"

Ron asked, puzzled.

Robin: 乁(˙ω˙)厂, because Dumbledore wants to train the main characters so that you will be able to fight Voldemort in the future.

"He must have his own reasons!"

Just as Robin finished speaking, Ms. Pomfrey pushed open the door and came in.

"Weasley, how are you feeling now?"

"I'm feeling much better, I can be discharged soon."

Ron was so happy that he didn't notice the school doctor's gaze growing colder.

"Weasley, the school hospital isn't a shop on the street where you can just come and go as you please. Given your current mental state, you need to stay in the hospital for at least a day for observation."

Ron stood up and started tap dancing on the bed. "Look, I can jump, I can twist my waist, I can swing my arms, I can turn my neck. I'm fine. Please write me a discharge certificate."

"I think you need a sedative more than a discharge certificate."

Ms. Pomfrey said sternly, her eyes fixed on him.

Ms. Pomfrey was an old school doctor who was sometimes gentle and sometimes strict. She was always gentle with her patients, but she would become very strict when visitors disturbed their rest or when patients did not follow medical advice.

Ron was terrified of drinking sedatives that were so bitter they made his throat hurt, so he quickly lay down, covered himself with the blanket, and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

After the school doctor let him off this time, he urged the two to leave the school hospital quickly, citing the need not to disturb the patient's rest.

Robin and Hermione had just left the school hospital when they bumped into Hagrid. He looked exhausted, his back was slightly hunched, and his beetle-like eyes were filled with regret and guilt.

"Harry, how is he?" Hagrid asked.

"Still unconscious," Robin replied.

"When will you wake up?"

"Nobody knows. The school nurse said she would notify us immediately if Harry woke up."

"I want to see him. Which ward is he in?"

"Mrs. Pomfrey will not allow anyone to visit Harry until he wakes up."

Hearing this, Hagrid burst into tears. "It's all my fault, all my fault, you stupid fool! I revealed Fluffy's weakness to that scoundrel. Quirrell knows everything about the six trials, except how to get past Fluffy, and I, for an egg and a few barrels of mead, foolishly told him. I almost got you all killed! I'm a terrible sinner! I don't deserve to be at Hogwarts! I'll resign from my post right now!"

"Hagrid, even if you don't say it, Voldemort will find another way to find out Fluffy's weaknesses. Also, it's not just the six barriers; you forgot, Dumbledore also set up one, and it was this barrier that completely blocked Quirrell."

"Tonight's outcome is: Quirrell is dead, Voldemort has fled, and the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed by the Mirror of Erised. As for Harry, perhaps in an hour, perhaps tomorrow, or perhaps the day after, he will wake up."

"Hagrid, instead of crying here and thinking of all sorts of annoying and worrying ways to punish yourself for your mistakes, you should..."

"How about we do it instead?"

Hagrid wiped his tears with the back of his finger and asked.

"Instead, you should do your job well and let Dumbledore see your determination to change."

"I know Harry values ​​family very much and misses his parents and the Potter family members, but he doesn't have any possessions to help ease his longing."

"Hagrid, you've been here for so long, you must know some of Harry's parents' old classmates. You could write to them and ask for some photos of Harry's parents, then make a photo album yourself."

"I bet Harry will be very happy to receive this apology gift."

Hagrid blew his nose with a handkerchief, and his beetle-like eyes lit up again. "Alright, I'll head to the owl's hut now, but I probably won't have time to watch you play."

"A competition?" Robin exclaimed in shock.

"Yes! Tomorrow—no, it's already past midnight, 11 a.m. today—the Quidditch pitch will host the last match of the school year: Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw. Robin, good luck."

It wasn't until Hagrid had walked away that Robin remembered that Wood had indeed mentioned during a training session on the field two weeks ago that there would be another game to play after the exam week.

"Robin, I remember the Gryffindor team doesn't seem to have a Finder substitute," Hermione said nervously.

"Yes!" Robin said confidently.

"Who?"

"Me? I'm a master at the 'Walking Ball,' and I'm not bad at catching the Golden Snitch either. There are still a few hours until 11 o'clock, so I need to catch up on some sleep and recover my energy. Hermione, if Wood asks about it in the morning, please explain it to him. I'm going back to my dorm to get some rest."

"Okay, if you don't come out by 10 a.m., I'll have Seamus or Neville wait, Neville, he..."

After exchanging a glance, the two rushed up the stairs and ran back to the Gryffindor common room as fast as they could, only to find that Neville was nowhere to be seen on the three-seater sofa.

Hermione picked up the sofa cover that had fallen to the ground, and plop, a limp, old parrot plush toy fell out of the cover.

"It's Seamus's. I've seen him play with this parrot. If I had lingered in the hospital corridor a little longer, I might have seen Neville in one of the rooms," Hermione said regretfully.

"The Full Body Binding Charm won't hurt anyone. The school nurse will take good care of Neville. If you go back to the hospital now, Ms. Pomfrey won't let you see him. Alright, if you don't go to bed soon, it'll be dawn."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow!"

After Hermione straightened the sofa cover, she turned and went into the girls' dormitory.

After Luo Bin returned to his dormitory and cast a cleansing spell on himself, he took off his shoes and clothes and lay down on the bed. Although he was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping, there was one thing he couldn't do to fall asleep.

After rolling from the foot of the bed to the head, his consciousness entered his sea of ​​consciousness. With a flick of his finger, he summoned the green square where Nagini was. He looked down and found that the evolution progress bar had actually increased to 99.99%.

Luo Bin: (「▼皿▼), I'm so angry, my lungs are about to explode! If you were 99.98%, I wouldn't be this angry. Are you kidding me? Do you know that being just one step away from victory is the most infuriating thing?

Just as Robin was feeling down, he suddenly remembered what Chili Pepper had said: "That stinky giant corpse is gone."

The giant's corpse—what a steal! A brilliant find!

He went around to the back of the pile of wooden crates, and sure enough, there was a huge and ugly monster corpse lying on the ground. He quickly swung his wrist and threw the monster into the green square.

Then, he quickly ran back to the green square. He saw the progress bar at the bottom of the square flash a few times, then quickly retreat to the starting position. The value also changed from 99.99% to 1.8%, and the evolution bar turned violet.

Is this the initial stage of evolution complete?

Luo Bin's heart pounded with excitement. After poking the green snake totem at the bottom of the square, he nervously looked at the light screen in the air.
