Batman's Owl Godfather

Chapter 38 The Last Calm of Christmas

Christmas is coming.

On the eve of the festival, Hogwarts School woke up from a dream and found that the surroundings were covered with several feet of snow and the lake was covered with hard ice.

The hall has been decorated for Christmas.

The walls were covered with hanging ribbons of holly and mistletoe, and a dozen towering Christmas trees stood around. Some of the trees were hung with shiny icicles, and some were lit with hundreds of candles.

Hermione walked into the Great Hall wrapped in a scarf, where Harry and Ron were playing wizard chess.

"Don't be crazy. When I'm away, you must remember to continue to look for news about Nico Flamel."

Before leaving Hogwarts, Hermione warned, "Send an owl to tell me if you find anything."

"Are you going back now?" Ron looked behind Hermione, "You haven't even packed your luggage."

"I already packed it, I just didn't take it with me."

Hermione said, "Someone will help me carry it onto the train."

Bruce dragged two suitcases into the compartment of the Hogwarts train.

Outside the car window was a vast expanse of white, completely different from the scenery when we arrived.

Hermione quickly found him and sat across from him.

As soon as she sat down, she brought Katum to her side.

Bruce noticed something unusual: "Why do you look a little worried?"

"It's about school." Hermione sighed. "Recently we discovered that someone may want to do harm to Hogwarts."

"Who?" Bruce asked casually.

"Professor Quirrell."

Bruce immediately sat up straight: "Tell me more!"

"It happened before Halloween."

Hermione had nothing to hide, so she told Bruce everything about the midnight duel between Harry and Malfoy before Halloween and the discovery of a three-headed dog guarding the trap door.

"Harry said that the three-headed dog guarding may be something Hagrid took out from Gringotts - you should remember, right, the news about the attack on Gringotts?"

Bruce nodded, of course he remembered.

But he was a little confused: "What does this have to do with Quirrell?"

"Because Harry saw it."

Hermione explained, "Harry saw the scene where Snape warned Quirrell - on the day of the Quidditch match, Harry felt that Snape was a good person, so Quirrell, who was warned by Snape, must He’s a bad guy.”

Just for this reason?

Bruce was a little disappointed. He had expected to hear some new clues.

Hermione continued: "Then we learned from Hagrid that the thing guarded by the three-headed dog was the secret of Dumbledore and a man named Nico Flamel. Now we are looking for Nico Flamel. Who, he is particularly mysterious——"

"Alchemist."

Bruce suddenly said, "Didn't you read the book "Ancient Magical History"? Nico Flamel was introduced in the book! And -"

He took out a magic picture from his pocket, which showed the evil dark wizard Dumbledore.

The main achievements of Dumbledore's life are recorded behind the picture——

In 1945, he defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald and discovered the twelve uses of fire dragon blood. He and his partner Nico Flamel were very effective in alchemy...

Hermione jumped up immediately, she was so excited that she threw Katum away.

She remembered!

"Why didn't I remember it before!" Hermione said excitedly, "Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone!"

She turned to get out of the car and tell her friends about this discovery.

However, at this moment, the train whistle sounded and slowly started to move.

"Go back and use the owl to send messages." Bruce looked very calm at this time, "Or you can wait until you return to school and have a good Christmas."

As he said this, his heart was filled with waves.

Great, he finally found the truth!

Dumbledore's goal is the Sorcerer's Stone!

The Philosopher's Stone is a magical substance with amazing functions. It can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life, making those who drink it immortal forever.

Dumbledore is already very old and he wants immortality, which Bruce can understand.

But the Philosopher's Stone belonged to Nicol Flamel. In order to maintain his image of being aloof and indifferent to life and death, although Dumbledore could put the Philosopher's Stone in the school, he could not keep it for himself.

What to do?

Just let Quirrell do it!

The theft of the Sorcerer's Stone was Quirrell's responsibility and had nothing to do with Dumbledore.

Bruce held his excited hand, already knowing what he was going to do.

That is, after returning to school at Christmas, wait quietly for Quirrell to take action, and then catch him!

His heart was surging here, but Katum on the other side couldn't help but cover his forehead with his wings.

That's it, Bat Boy's logic is self-consistent.

At this time, each person and bird were immersed in their own thoughts and did not pay attention to the picture in Bruce's hand.

Dumbledore in the picture quietly listened to the entire conversation between Hermione and Bruce.

Then he turned around and left the picture.

The train whirred quickly and soon arrived at Station Nine and Three-Quarters.

When Bruce and Hermione walked out of the platform, Mr. and Mrs. Granger were already waiting there with smiles on their faces.

"Mother!"

Hermione immediately pounced on him.

Meanwhile, in a nondescript house in London, the rooms are steaming with heat.

In the middle of the room, rich food was stewed in a pot.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

The dark wizard Gibbon held the spoon and scooped another bowl full of stew for himself.

Then someone cursed: "Save some for me!"

There were two people sitting next to the stewpot, Jason and Lupine.

They are the league of the undesirables.

As Christmas approaches, the three of them have temporarily shelved their evil plans and are ready to spend the holidays in peace.

Lupine sighed as he held the hot stew.

On previous Christmases, he would buy some bread and dry ham alone and then leave.

But this year is different, I can eat such a sumptuous meal.

It was all thanks to Jason that he was able to get the money and improve Lupine's life.

As for where the money came from?

That's pretty much it. Don't ask if you shouldn't.

Lu Ping was still sighing when suddenly, someone knocked on their door.

Jason immediately pulled out the two guns on his waist: "Who?"

"Excuse me."

The originally locked door was suddenly opened, and a strange, large-headed figure walked in.

When he walked into the room, Jason realized that this man did not have a big head, but that his head was covered with bandanas.

"Hello, you three." The man said with a smile, "My name is Quirrell, and I am a professor at Hogwarts. I have heard of their names for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to meet them."

Jason's finger was already on the trigger: "Oh? Why do you want to see us?"

"Because I know that the three of them are doing something big, and I am very interested in it."

At this time, Quirrell was no longer the stammering, timid person he was in school.

"I really want to cooperate with the three of them."

Jason sneered: "What can you do?"

"There are many things I can do." Quirrell said, "For example, open the door to Hogwarts for three people."

For a moment, there was silence in the room.

Jason was silent for a moment, then raised his head and pointed at the stew pot: "Do you want a bowl?"
