Overturning Hogwarts

Chapter 60 Nicholas, a true god and man

In fact, Zhang Rui was really deceived at first. After all, who would suspect that someone like Neville had bad intentions?

If Harry Potter or Miss Granger were looking for him, Zhang Rui would be on alert immediately, because they are synonymous with trouble.

Of course there is a difference here. Miss Granger is a trivial trouble. She has to study, take notes, review, and cannot violate school rules...

Harry's troubles vary, and they can be big or small. The smallest one is breaking school rules, and the biggest one may involve someone's life. Of course, it's someone else's life. He is the protagonist after all.

Therefore, although the fake Neville had a series of abnormal behaviors, such as taking away Malfoy's wand and playing the violin, it only made Zhang Rui a little strange and suspicious until he said the words "You are my only friend" again in the key room.

Zhang Rui may be Neville's friend, but he is by no means his only friend. When he pretended to be Neville and said this at first, Zhang Rui didn't think much about it, but later he became suspicious and felt something was wrong.

Even if Harry Ron is not Neville's friend, isn't Miss Granger, who filled the carriage to help him find toads when they first met, also Neville's friend?

Neville would never say such a thing.

Zhang Rui was suspicious at that time, but did not dare to expose it for fear of danger.

So I was stalling for time while thinking about countermeasures.

He asked the fake Neville to take off his clothes because he wanted to see if the other party had any dangerous weapons hidden on his body like him.

Later, he ordered him to use magic spells continuously, also to consume the opponent's magic power.

He didn't seize the opportunity until the troll came, pretending to be careless, and plotted against the other party, allowing the fake Neville to eat the troll's big stick.

But it only disabled the opponent's right hand. There was a high probability that the opponent had a protective spell on him.

But then gunshots were heard, and the trolls were defeated, but they were probably not dead.

In fact, the giant monster's weakness is its head. Zhang Rui already knew that. He had knocked out a giant monster himself and heard Hagrid talk about it.

"When I'm playing with little guys like trolls, I usually avoid their heads, otherwise I'll knock them out with one punch and hurt these little cuties," Hagrid said.

Then came Snape's potion level. Zhang Rui tore the parchment just to control the situation. Otherwise, wouldn't it be useless if the other party guessed the correct potion? Then one can imagine his fate.

There were several reminders on the parchment. Zhang Rui didn't have time to read them all. He only read one sentence: "There is no death in Giants and Dwarfs." That was enough.

The largest bottle and the smallest bottle were safe, so he used divination to pick out the two bottles and told the fake Neville that one was poisonous and the other was correct.

The real Neville would definitely drink it, but the fake Neville would definitely not dare to drink it.

Sure enough, fake Neville stopped pretending and forced Zhang Rui to be a guinea pig - so he chose two bottles that were safe. If there was a bottle of poison, Zhang Rui might be poisoned to death.

In fact, if Zhang Rui had to guess, he would also guess that the smallest bottle contained a magic potion that could pass through flames. After all, the amount there was small, only enough for two sips, just enough for one person to take a drink.

Snape wouldn't want to bring out a huge bottle so that many people could enter the last level, get the Philosopher's Stone, and resurrect the enemy who killed his angel, right?

Of course, this kind of thinking is a bit imprecise, but it’s not harmful anyway, just give it a try!

Zhang Rui started to reach out to the smallest bottle but was stopped. It didn't matter, the big bottle wasn't poisonous, so he took a big sip and sprayed it on the fake Neville's face. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do this.

Then I took the opportunity to drink a small bottle, and it really worked.

Of course, Zhang Rui is not omnipotent. He didn't see the parchment saying that one of the bottles was a medicine that could go back through the purple flame. If that was what was in the vial, Zhang Rui would be burned to death by black flames.

The book is over!

Protagonists all need a bit of luck, right?

But if both bottles are not the correct potion, Zhang Rui is still safe. After all, he is still a master of divination. After all, the parchment is still on him - it is other paper that was burned, and the fake Neville turned into ashes anyway. Can't tell either.

The fake Neville still had to rely on him without prompting.

……

"Oh, Nicholas Zhang San, the representative of the Chinese Wizards Association and the mysterious master of divination."

When Dumbledore appeared at the last level, he revealed Zhang Rui's identity right away. He had obviously discovered this extra person in the school a long time ago, but he never took the initiative to find Zhang Rui.

"I was coerced into coming in. That person turned into Neville. Malfoy can testify." Zhang Rui first took the initiative to clear up his suspicions.

It can't be said that he was deceived, otherwise the divination master's style will be lowered. Anyway, only he knows this, and the fake Neville can't be sure whether he was deceived or intentional.

"And I'm not interested in the Sorcerer's Stone, otherwise these little mechanisms wouldn't be able to stop me. I also helped you stop the bad guys who wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone."

"Thank you very much, little Nick." Dumbledore's gold glasses shone, "I think we need to have a good talk."

"I just waited here because I expected you to come. Otherwise, I would have drank the potion from the round bottle on the far right outside and passed through the purple flames and gone back to sleep."

Just now he took out the parchment, solved the puzzle, and then burned the paper.

The reason he didn't go out was because he was afraid that the fake Neville would ambush him outside, so he simply waited for Dumbledore to protect him.

But this does not mean that he will give up the opportunity to pretend to be superior in front of Dumbledore - although I rely on reasoning, I will say divination!

Anyway, he has been forming the "Lin" seal, his body and mind are stable, and he is not afraid of Legilimency! And it was done in front of Dumbledore, so arrogant!

"The title of Master of Divination is truly well-deserved. I would like to call you the best in divination."

Zhang Rui felt that Dumbledore should have said this to feel comfortable, but it was a pity that Deng didn't know what to say.

……

Returning to Hogwarts again, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

It was as if no students knew what happened before.

Zhang Rui is still the divination master who does nothing all day long.

Neville was also studying hard, unaware that someone had impersonated him and almost succeeded in obtaining the Philosopher's Stone.

Zhang Rui didn't bother to mention it. Dumbledore said that he would find that person and promised that that person would not attack him in the future. He obviously knew who the fake Neville was.

Zhang Rui originally wanted to ask, but this was inconsistent with his character as a divination master.

Others will think, can’t you do divination? Wouldn't you know it by divination?

Anyway, Dumbledore said that the man was kicked out of Hogwarts and would not look for him again.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione have been busy reviewing and monitoring Snape, and even invited Zhang Rui to help divine Snape's trajectory.

Apparently, Zhang Rui couldn't figure it out, so he refused on the pretext of violating school rules and advised the three of them to think about Gryffindor's bottom score.

Miss Granger was shocked at the time. She didn't expect that one day someone would use the words "violating school rules" to persuade her. But thinking that it was Nicholas, who had always admired her, it was normal for him to be infected by her code of conduct.

So Miss Granger blushed and didn't know how to explain.

Zhang Rui refused the three people's request to divine Snape's actions. Thinking that Long's nerves still needed help from Ron's brother, he wrote a note to them and asked them to decide to open it when they went to the right corridor on the fourth floor.

Of course, all three of them thought it was because of Miss Granger.

The note read "Secrets to pass the level: music; fire; Harry (remember to take the broomstick with you); fly over the head; hit it on the head; Miss Granger; I can't say the last level."

When the trio finally followed the prompts and arrived in front of the flame wall safely, they couldn't help but sigh: "Nicholas, a true god and man!"
