Chapter 153 Intuition B

After Harry and Hermione dealt with the troll, they collapsed to the ground in perfect sync, breathing heavily.

"Thanks to Snape for teaching about trolls in Defense Against the Dark Arts..."

Originally, Hermione just sighed casually, but she suddenly caught the flash of inspiration before.

"Wait! Why did he go out of his way to teach us a lesson about trolls?"

Hermione rubbed her hair frantically, making her already messy long hair even more unkempt. She vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she was missing a few key pieces of information and was unable to connect all the clues.

"So, what are you suspecting?"

Harry, who had regained his composure a little, got up from the ground and asked impatiently.

Hermione has been saying some weird words since entering the trap door. No matter how slow Harry is, he can roughly understand what she means - there is something wrong with these levels, and they are probably not the real place where the Philosopher's Stone is kept. .

Don't they look like fools when they rush to break through the barrier in a hurry and make themselves disgraced?

After all, Harry was only an eleven-year-old child, and he was still a Gryffindor. When he had a strong desire to express himself, and was suddenly thrown cold water by Hermione like this, he was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Now Hermione said something like this again as if she was trying to defend Snape...

Then Harry's dissatisfaction burst out all of a sudden.

"Ron has been knocked unconscious! We almost died under the giant club just now! Do you still think this is all a game played by Dumbledore to deceive Snape?!"

Harry moved his arms widely. In fact, he didn't know why he did this. He just felt that doing so would allow him to vent his dissatisfaction more happily.

Hermione seemed to be frightened by Harry's sudden roar. She stared blankly at the angry Harry, her mind going blank.

Because she was too surprised, Hermione couldn't even raise a hint of anger caused by being misunderstood. She just stared, mouth slightly opened, and watched Harry in silence as he continued to roar.

"Also! What did you mean by what you just said?! At this time, do you still want to say that Snape is a good person? It's not him who wants to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, could it be Professor Quirrell who has disappeared?!"

Harry, who was still angry, didn't know that his casual assumptions were basically correct, which made the professors watching the show have a hard time holding back their laughter.

Ron, on the other hand, sighed and covered his eyes.

Only Fish was a little confused. He tugged on Professor McGonagall's sleeve, "Minerva, why is Scarhead so angry?"

"Well... there is a slight misunderstanding between Potter and Hermione..."

Professor McGonagall explained as tactfully as possible, and Snape next to him gave a disdainful sneer.

While Fish was confused and confused about the situation, Harry continued to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Let me tell you! Why did Snape give us a lesson on trolls! He was showing off! Showing off that he had defeated Quirrell! Do you understand?! Miss Know-It-All!"

With the words "Miss Know-It-All", the sluggish Hermione gradually came back to her senses, and the look she looked at Harry began to become dangerous.

Harry, who knew nothing about this, continued to roar: "Didn't you tell me that he stole the Philosopher's Stone in order to resurrect Voldemort? Didn't you burn Snape's robes to save me from his curse?" Rescued...come..."

Only then did Harry, who was roaring, remember that Hermione had saved his life. Even when he had just dealt with the troll, the main credit was given to Hermione.

Harry, who had regained his senses, quickly regained his composure and hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

"H-Sorry...Hermione, I-I didn't mean that..."

He explained to Hermione patiently: "I just... just think you are thinking too much. At this time, we should seize the time to get the Sorcerer's Stone instead of making random guesses on such uncertain matters."

"..."

Because Harry apologized too quickly, Hermione, who had finally recovered from her stupor and was about to get angry, forced herself to hold back her anger.

This emotional disconnect was particularly uncomfortable, so her tone became less polite.

"You finally remember that I saved your life."

After Hermione stabbed Harry a little, she still thought that the matter of the Sorcerer's Stone was more important.

"I'm just guessing whether Snape deliberately asked us to come here and take the lead. After we get the Philosopher's Stone, he will snatch it directly from us. After all, compared with the professors' magic traps, it is obviously ours. A few little wizards are easier to deal with."

But she quickly shook her head and denied her idea, "No, he doesn't need to bother. He can break through it by himself, and it will definitely be much faster than us... Maybe you are right, Snape may just be... Showing off, or... did he deliberately lure you here to die? But in this case, it doesn't make sense that he tried his best to teach us how to deal with trolls..."

Hermione's mind entered a dead end again, and she grabbed her hair irritably.

"Don't think too much," Harry interrupted Hermione's entanglement, "Anyway, let's move on. If it's really like you said, this is just a cover, and it's just a waste of our efforts. If there is really a Philosopher's Stone in it, then we will take it away. In that case, no matter what Snape is planning, it will be meaningless."

"That's right."

Hermione shook her head, threw her chaotic thoughts aside, and walked to the next room with Harry.

As soon as the two stepped into the new room, a purple flame rose at the entrance behind them, blocking the retreat, and a black flame rose in front of the door to the next level.

In the center of the room, there was a table with seven bottles of different shapes placed side by side.

"Snape's magic."

Seeing this scene, even without the process of elimination, you know that it was from Snape, the professor of Potions.

The two carefully came to the table and found a roll of parchment next to the bottle. They opened the parchment and saw a string of words written on it.

Harry and Hermione stood together, reading the contents carefully. However, what neither of them noticed was that when they were reading the parchment, the purple flames behind them shook strangely.

"What is this?"

After reading the contents on the parchment, Harry suddenly felt his head swell. The string of words was not like poetry, nor was it like a story. He was confused.

Anyway, Harry couldn't understand what the killer, giant, and dwarf written on it meant.

However, Hermione showed a confident smile on her face.

"It's wonderful," she explained to Harry, "This is not magic, it's logical reasoning, a riddle. Many of the greatest wizards don't have the slightest ability of logical reasoning, so they have to be trapped here forever."

Then, in Harry's amazed eyes, she solved Snape's riddle in less than a minute.

"The smallest bottle can pass through the black flames, and the round bottle on the far right can let us retreat."

Harry picked up the smallest bottle and looked at it, "It's only enough for one person."

The two looked at each other, and Harry clenched the bottle in his hand and said, "You can go back by drinking the bottle, take Ron with you, and use the broom in the first room to go back. Remember to put on the invisibility cloak when you go back to avoid running into Snape."

He raised his hand to stop Hermione who wanted to speak, "Listen to me, I insisted on finding the Philosopher's Stone, so I can't let you take risks for me in this last level."

At the critical moment, Harry was still very responsible, and he explained to Hermione with a serious look.

"I don't know if I can successfully get the Philosopher's Stone, but if you see Snape on the way back, notify Professor McGonagall as soon as possible, and then send Hedwig to send a letter to Dumbledore. I need their support. I may be able to temporarily contain Snape, but I will definitely not be his opponent."

"Hehe..."

Hearing Harry's shameless words, the sneer on Snape's face became even more disdainful.

The two men, who didn't know Snape had been standing by, cheered each other up again, and then Harry opened the bottle in his hand and drank the liquid inside.

"Good luck, be careful!"

At this time, Hermione didn't have time to dwell on those discordant places. She watched Harry walk into the black flames, and then opened the round bottle...

A hand suddenly stretched out from the air next to her and grabbed Hermione's wrist tightly.

Following that, Snape, with a grim smile on his face, lifted his invisible cloak and appeared in front of Hermione.

Don't think I'm deliberately blackening Harry Potter. He has such a personality in the original book.

The most obvious is that in the seventh book, Harry stubbornly believed that his guess about the three holy artifacts was correct because of the legend of the three brothers.

Although he did guess it in the end, he was always at odds with Hermione and Ron after being denied by them in the process. He felt that they were unreasonable, but he didn't communicate with them patiently. Instead, Ron and Hermione kept accommodating him.

And when he was arguing with Ron later, he still called out Voldemort's name even though he knew that the Death Eaters would find out if he said it, just to prove that he was not afraid of Voldemort, which led to the three of them being captured by the werewolf leader.

Judging from the performance of the trio during the escape period, Harry was really not as good as Ron, let alone Hermione.

Also, in the fifth part, he showed strong jealousy of Ron being selected as the prefect. Although he was relieved soon afterwards, this also shows that Harry's character is actually a bit arrogant and stubborn, and my writing is not a departure from the original.

In addition, Harry's accurate words are not something I forced to make for fun. In the original book, Dumbledore told Harry before his death that his intuition was particularly accurate and asked him to act according to his intuition. This is also one of the reasons why he disagreed with Ron and Hermione on the matter of the Deathly Hallows.
