Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 69 The Battle to Recapture the Magic Stone 【Part [-]】

The night was dark, black clouds rolled up in the sky and gradually enveloped the owner of the night, and under the silvery white moonlight were the lights of the Forbidden Forest in the distance, which strangely added a Halloween atmosphere to Hogwarts.

Ash was walking slowly in the corridor of Hogwarts. He was not careless when he turned on his invisibility. He walked slowly towards the headmaster's office, occasionally manipulating the false body distractedly, so as to observe Dumbledore Case.

The white-bearded old man was still watching the movie intently, but Ash was still very keen to find that two professors were missing, and Snape and Thom were gone.

It seems that he is not the only one who has requirements for the hero's soul.

Ash thought to himself to speed up, and within 5 minutes, he came to the dripping stone statue on the third floor. This is the only way to go to the principal's office on the eighth floor.

Ash didn't show up in a hurry to say the password. He stood in an empty corner and slowly glued the prepared mud on his body, covering the characteristic red lines and white collar flower.

At the same time, he took out a silver-white bird's beak mask from his arms... This is one of the trophies from Rosalia's fingers, and it is enough as an item to hide his appearance.

"Password!" The Dripping Stone Beast opened its mouth slowly, and then opened its eyes to take a look at the comers... Well, even in its opinion, today's comers are the weirdest ones...with silver masks and brown spots. clothes, today is Halloween, isn't it?
Ash didn't know what the stone statue was thinking, and Ash had done his homework on the password it said in advance... Phil had been lying in ambush next to the principal's office as early as yesterday, and secretly eavesdropped on the password of the office.

"Lemon sherbet." Ash spoke slowly, lowering his voice to ensure that the stone statue would not recognize who it was.

The stone statue snorted, then rotated and separated to the two sides, revealing the slightly narrow elevator inside.

Ash nodded slightly, "Phil, you stay outside and stare..."

"Cuckoo? Phil, don't do anything bad!" The owl said dissatisfiedly, but it was still so obedient that it was hung under a relief on the ceiling, and it looked no different from a real bat.

Ash nodded and walked in, and after a short wait, the quiet principal's office came into view.

The headmasters who lived in the portraits had already closed their eyes and let out bursts of cries, and there were bursts of funny little voices in the beautiful circular room. Next to the cabinet full of books was a huge water basin. It is an exquisite display case made of glass.

Ash has been to the principal's office several times before, and he walked around the spherical object in front of the huge table with ease. He didn't dare to use magic spells in the principal's office at will. After all, no one knows whether Dumbledore has made any precautions here. .

Moreover, those portraits were still quietly looking at Ash, and it was only after eight o'clock... how could there be portraits of sleeping at this time, anyway, Anna would only fall asleep in the early morning every time.

Ash was very careful not to rummage around in the principal's office, but closed his eyes and stood there quietly, using Ashes' natural instinct to sense the many souls.

I don't know what Dumbledore used to hold that thing, Ash didn't sense the heroic soul...but he still detected a familiar feeling in the air.

There is an inexplicable soul tempting it, but the power is very weak. As a master of soul research, Ash gradually found this intermittent connection, like an anchor guiding Ash to open a cabinet in the office.

A small box lay inside.

Ash is sure that the great heroic soul is here...

……

Som walked through the corridor with some headaches, and he noticed the stalker behind him... This strange guy followed him almost step by step.

Every time he took two steps, he could hear the slight sound of footsteps behind him... Is it really Halloween night?He recalled the horror "movie" he had just watched halfway through, and couldn't help feeling a little trembling, but luckily, he still found out the identity of the stalker.

It was Professor Snape...Thom knew about this former Death Eater...but he didn't know why he was still able to teach at Hogwarts, why he could gain Dumbledore's trust.

He had to waste a lot of time on the way to the principal's office, and Snape behind him also looked impatient: Aren't you going to steal the Philosopher's Stone?go quickly!What's messing around here?
But soon, Snape realized the reason, that is, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor should have discovered him, so Snape deliberately stopped at a corner, knowing that Thom would definitely go to the principal's office of.

But looking at the corridor in front of him... He had to make a detour to the dripping stone statue on the third floor, which also prevented him from seeing what happened immediately after.

Som took a breath when he heard the movement behind him disappear. He knew that he had thrown off the following "Jack Torrance" [the protagonist of The Shining].

"Huh." He patted his chest slightly, and then squeezed the wand in his hand tightly. He was already close to his goal. Looking at the tiny raindrops falling outside the window, he always felt weird... There was an inexplicable worry in his heart .

"Merlin bless." He muttered, and wiped his glasses.

……

Ash smiled and opened the box containing the soul. Inside the exquisite box lay a dark stone.

Ash naturally doesn't care about the appearance of this thing. He carefully observes the appearance of this stone, and he is not in a hurry to do it because he doesn't know if Dumbledore has any means. Enough time.

Soon, he noticed a strange soul on the stone, which was not related to the soul of the stone itself... It was like a soul imposed on it.

And this soul is very familiar...it is Dumbledore's soul.

Ash smiled slightly, he understood Dumbledore's thoughts, he seemed to hope to use this tiny soul to locate who took the stone... It was a good calculation, but unfortunately, Dumbledore met Ashes who was good at playing with souls.

……

Dumbledore was still watching the "movie" but in fact, he had already noticed something was wrong... It's been too long since Som went, and the Sorcerer's Stone has not been taken away yet.

Could it be that Severus arrested people directly?Dumbledore knew him well, and he was careful and wise...not to mess with his plans.

But Dumbledore just couldn't help it. He glanced at the weirdo with the ax in the movie, and then blinked slightly.

"Here is Johnny!"

Dumbledore invoked his own spell amidst the screams of the student doors as the weirdo from the movie poked its head out.

But unfortunately...he doesn't seem to have met his "wife".Nothing happened, it was as if the spell didn't exist.

Dumbledore froze for a moment...he knew he was a little out of play.

Ash absorbed Dumbledore's soul easily, and at the same time, seemed to have a little soul of others.

"Snape's?" Ash smiled, and picked up the stone with confidence.
