Hogwarts: Undercover Death Eater Replaces the Dark Lord

Lycos didn't dare to gamble.

Because Harry is Voldemort's mortal enemy, he will not be easily killed by the Dark Lord... However, Hermione is different. Quirrell can easily kill the "troublemaker" with a killing curse.

In the original storyline, Cedric Diggory was a cautionary tale...

So, Lekos drank one person's portion of the potion on purpose, leaving only enough for Harry to pass through the flames, to prevent any accidents...

The potion has taken effect, and Lycos feels a chill all over his body, as if he has turned into a piece of ice. However, this does not affect his movements at all, which is extremely magical.

"Let's go," he said to Quirrell.

The two stepped through the black flames and entered the last room.

There stood a huge mirror, quite imposing and massive, almost reaching the ceiling, with a gleaming frame that seemed to be made of pure gold.

Lycos had a brief encounter with it—

This is the Mirror of Erised.

There was nothing else in the room except this mirror.

"Is there nothing else here?" Quirrell frowned and glanced around repeatedly, "How could this happen..."

"Since Dumbledore placed this mirror here, it must have a meaning," Lycos suggested subtly. "Perhaps we could go up and take a look?"

Quirrell still frowned, but he obeyed and walked forward to face the Mirror of Erised.

I don’t know what he saw in the mirror, but his expression suddenly became lonely, his eyes turned red, and he started sobbing softly.

"Wake up, you piece of shit!"

A fierce voice suddenly rang out.

Quirrell finally reacted and quickly took a few steps back, but there was still some reluctance in his eyes to look at the mirror.

"Take your attention away from the mirror! This is the Mirror of Erised, one of the most magical mirrors in the entire wizarding world!" Voldemort said coldly. "Only Dumbledore could produce such a thing."

"Yes... Master, I understand." Quirrell nodded quickly and said, "If it is really so magical, then this mirror should be the key to finding the Philosopher's Stone..."

He muttered to himself as he tapped his hands along the sides of the frame.

"Yes, only Dumbledore can produce such a precious thing... But he is in London now... By the time he comes back, I will have already left..."

Chapter 87 The Savior Arrives

"I really don't understand... Is the Philosopher's Stone hidden in the mirror? Should I break the mirror?"

After searching for an unknown amount of time, Quirrell cursed under his breath.

But when he cast a spell on the mirror, all the spells rebounded back intact, making him miserable...

Lycos was also circling the Mirror of Erised, pretending that he was helping Voldemort find the Philosopher's Stone, but in fact he was thinking about his next strategy.

According to the original book, Harry Potter was able to find the Philosopher's Stone because he wanted to find it, but not use it - that is, he wanted to protect it.

If other people saw the Philosopher's Stone, they would either want to use the Stone's power to turn everything into gold and make countless fortunes; or they would want to use the elixir made from the Stone to prolong their lives and restore their strength, just like Voldemort did...

But Harry was different. After entering this room, his greatest wish was to find the Philosopher's Stone before Quirrell.

So when he looked into the Mirror of Erised, he saw himself in the mirror finding the stone and putting it in his pocket, which was also in his pocket in real life.

Dumbledore's protective magic on the Mirror of Erised was indeed very effective. It not only prevented Quirrell from obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, but also allowed Harry to obtain the Philosopher's Stone and face Quirrell head-on, thus cultivating his abilities...

It's really well-intentioned.

When Lycos thought of this, he suddenly wondered whether he could be considered to be trying to protect the Philosopher's Stone.

So he stood in front of the magic mirror and took a look -

First, a little wizard with black hair and dark golden eyes stood in front of the magic mirror. It was Lycos.

Then, Lycos disappeared, replaced by Quirrell and Voldemort behind his head; they were touched by a young wizard wearing round-framed glasses, and then turned into a black powder and dissipated...

Lycos was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Indeed, he didn't care where the Philosopher's Stone was. His greatest wish was to drive Voldemort away as soon as possible and free himself from the torment he was suffering as an undercover agent.

"What are you laughing at?" Quirrell asked curiously when he saw the smile on Lycos's face. "Are you so happy about not being able to find the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Of course not." Lycos began to make up a lie without blushing or beating his heart: "I just accidentally glanced at the Mirror of Erised and saw the Philosopher's Stone in the mirror..."

"The Philosopher's Stone?" Quirrell asked quickly, his eyes wide. "Do you see where the Philosopher's Stone is?"

"No, I only saw that I was holding the Philosopher's Stone in my hand and was presenting it to the Dark Lord." Lycos said calmly, "So I smiled happily and gloriously!"

Quirrell: "..."

"Lex, your attitude is good, but indulging in fantasy is useless!" Voldemort's voice came from inside Quirrell's turban. "Dumbledore may notice the problem at any time. You'd better hurry and find the Philosopher's Stone."

"But... I don't understand what this mirror is about." Quirrell said anxiously, "It... What is its function? Help me, Master!"

"What a fool!" Voldemort snorted coldly, "Take off your turban, then come closer and turn your back."

Quirrell did as he was told, shakily walking to the Mirror of Erised, and turning so that Voldemort's face was facing the mirror.

Voldemort stared into the magic mirror, a flash of scarlet light in his eyes.

"Dumbledore has cursed this mirror," croaked Voldemort. "The Philosopher's Stone is evidently within it. Let me see..."

"This magic... seems to be able to distinguish between positive and negative emotions."

His eyes hardened, and then he smiled coldly.

"Hahahaha... I understand." He suddenly said, "Lex, didn't you say you wanted to trick Harry Potter over here tonight?"

"Yes, I have gained Potter's trust. He will definitely come to this restricted area around seven o'clock." Lycos said, "This will make it easier for you to get rid of this troublesome person as soon as you recover your strength with the Philosopher's Stone."

"But... does Potter have anything to do with Dumbledore's magic?"

Lycos looked confused. He clearly understood but pretended not to.

"You two are on my side, so of course you will be excluded by Dumbledore's magic. It will be impossible for you to obtain the Philosopher's Stone."

Voldemort thought Lycos really didn't understand, so he explained, "So we need someone who is on the same side as Dumbledore to break Dumbledore's magic..."

"Thanks to Lycos's extra thinking, he tricked Harry Potter into coming here. Otherwise, we would have to take the risk of going out and capturing a student, which would have been too risky."

Voldemort glanced at Lycos with admiration.

"But... Master, can't you just break this spell?" Quirrell asked in a low voice.

"You fool!" Voldemort cursed. "I have no magical power left now. How can I break Dumbledore's spell? Do you think you have enough magical power?"

Quirrell didn't dare say a word.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the black flame.

They seemed to be a boy and a girl, two young wizards...

Hearing these two voices, Lycos narrowed his eyes.

"It's Potter and Granger," he said, turning quickly to look at Quirrell. "Quick, cast a Disillusionment Charm on me."

"Disillusionment Charm? Why?" Quirrell frowned. "We're about to get the Philosopher's Stone. You won't need to be an undercover agent at Hogwarts anymore..."

"That's just in theory," Lycos said confidently, "As a qualified undercover agent, you must never let your guard down until the mission objective is achieved!"

Looking at Lycos who seemed to have suddenly gone crazy, Quirrell twitched his lips.

"Never mind, whatever you say...Disillusionmenti."

A layer of transparent liquid quickly covered Lycos's body, making his figure blend into the surrounding scenery.

"Thanks."

Lycos smiled, walked to the corner of the room alone, and started watching the show...

After a few minutes, the black flames at the entrance of the room suddenly moved.

Then, a little Gryffindor wizard with messy hair and round-framed glasses walked in.

Quirrell had already put on his turban and was standing in front of the black flames with a smile on his face, warmly welcoming his arrival.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Potter, my good student..."

He stood there and waved to Harry, his expression trying to be very kind.

"Be good, come here, look into this mirror... and tell me everything you see."

Chapter 88 It’s time

Harry Potter saw himself in the mirror.

At first, his face was pale and he looked terrified, but after a moment, he smiled.

Harry in the mirror reached into his pocket and took out a bright red stone. Then he blinked and put the stone back into his pocket. At this moment, he felt something heavy really fall into his pocket.

On the other side, Lycos, who was hidden by the Disillusionment Charm, watched intently and saw that the side of Harry's trouser pocket suddenly became bulging.

Almost the next moment, Harry silently tugged at his school robes to cover his pockets.

For those who want to protect the Philosopher's Stone, obtaining the stone is that simple!

"I'm asking you a question!" Quirrell continued to urge Harry after seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, "What did you see in the mirror?"

"I saw myself shaking Dumbledore's hand," Harry said tremblingly, looking into the Mirror of Erised. "I... I won the House Cup for Gryffindor."

"Hmm?" Quirrell looked at him incredulously. "Don't you realize what time it is... You've been captured by a Dark wizard! And all you can think about is winning the House Cup?"

"Because... because I lost too many points from the college, so my mind is full of trying to earn them back." Harry continued to make up stories.

"Damn Snape, why did he deduct so many points from students when he had nothing to do? It's really a waste of time." Quirrell cursed and pushed Harry, "Alright, get out of here!"

He began to continue studying the Mirror of Erised.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief and quietly stepped aside.

At this moment, he felt the Philosopher's Stone against his thigh, hidden inside his magic robe.
