Chapitre 4: Chapter 84 Conspiracy
Harry coughed, gave Hope a way out, and changed the subject very abruptly.
He was not Hermione. Usually when Ron boasted, Hermione would not give Ron a way out. In the end, she made Ron embarrassed and then raised her head and snorted proudly to let him go.
Hope saw Harry's good intentions, but she didn't appreciate it.
Since you don't remember the spell, then don't use it!
Hope's mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. He didn't know what he was mumbling. He waved the wand in his hand casually and pointed it at himself.
The next moment, in the eyes of Harry and the others, Hope's figure disappeared directly.
Several people stayed in place for a while, staring blankly.
Hermione's expression was very rich, and her arrogance was completely shattered at this moment!
After just a moment, Hope's figure appeared again.
"How is it, I didn't lie to you?"
Hope smiled slightly, looking at the dull expressions of several people, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
"You really learned it!"
Hermione exclaimed in a sharp voice.
She never thought that Hope was not joking. "Of course, what I said is true.
In fact, I have been working hard to learn, but you just don't know it."
Hope spread his hands and said as a matter of course. "I have something else to do.
I will go back to the dormitory first."
Hermione's face was a little red.
Thinking of the scene of questioning just now, she was too confident.
At this moment, she was a little ashamed and couldn't accept it.
She ran away in a hurry holding her books.
Hope turned her eyes to Harry and Ron.
The two of them looked stupid and still looked the same.
Hope couldn't help shaking his head.
He knew why so many people liked involution in his previous life.
It turned out that they relied on surprising everyone at a certain moment.
At this moment, outside the Hogwarts Castle, Magsnap and Dumbledore were standing together, looking at the Forbidden Forest in the distance. "Is it really that strong?"
Snape said with some doubt.
Is a giant monster worth their efforts?
To be honest, in the magic world dominated by wizards, a giant monster can be easily dealt with by any adult wizard as long as they know the flaws of the giant monster, not to mention their professors at Hogwarts.
And looking at Dumbledore's expression now, he is more solemn than ever before.
McGreg also looked at Dumbledore with doubt. She only knew from Hagrid that a giant monster appeared in the Forbidden Forest, but she didn't know how strong it was.
"Its power is terrifying, unusually terrifying. I have seen the power of giants, and they are far inferior to this giant monster. It should be a strange existence, and it can't be regarded as just a giant monster."
Dumbledore shook his head and said slowly.
"Is it related to the troll that appeared in the school a while ago?"
McGonagall heard Dumbledore's evaluation and realized how powerful this troll was.
It was really rare to hear the word "horror" from Dumbledore.
It was the first time she heard it, and she immediately thought of the troll that appeared in the school before.
Two trolls appeared a while ago. One troll had been caught by them and sent back to the Forbidden Forest by Hagrid.
They only heard about the other troll from the students and the impostor, but they didn't see it with their own eyes.
If the students hadn't vowed to guarantee that the troll really existed, they would have thought it was just a fabrication.
After all, there was no trace of it.
It seemed to appear out of thin air and disappear out of thin air.
"I asked Hagrid to show the students the portrait of the troll, and they all said it was exactly the same as the troll they saw that day."
Dumbledore said calmly. That was why he was a little worried. How did the troll get in and out of Hogwarts? This meant that there might be a passage in Hogwarts that they didn't know about. Once the troll sneaked into Hogwarts, the result would be unimaginable.
They knew about the appearance of the first troll. Snape asked Quirrell about it. It was Quirrell who found an excuse to get Filch out of the way and secretly let it in through the gate.
Hearing Dumbledore's answer, McGonagall frowned and said in confusion: "But the troll doesn't seem to have that much power. It can't even break free from the spell of fast confinement."
"Maybe it encountered some changes in the Forbidden Forest. "
Dumbledore guessed, of course he did not fail to think of Hope.
After all, it was Hope who transformed into Quirrell and ran into the hall to tell Snape that there was a troll in the school.
Of course, this does not mean that Dumbledore thinks that the troll is related to Hope. It may just be a coincidence.
Dumbledore also does not think that Hope can transform into a troll. After all, no matter how strong the Transfiguration is, there is a limit. He himself is also proficient in Transfiguration. He was a professor of Transfiguration before he became the principal, earlier than McGonagall.
So Dumbledore knew that Transfiguration could not transform into a magical creature. This is an iron rule. Transfiguration really cannot twist a wizard into a magical creature and then change it back again.
If anyone can do this, it means that he is very likely to have understood the essence of magic.
But even Even Dumbledore thought that he was still a long way from understanding the essence of magic.
Just when Dumbledore and the others were worried about Hope's behavior, Hope and the others had already eaten.
Of course, they still couldn't leave the common room, but the house elves delivered food to their door.
They thought that the matter was over, but when curfew was approaching, they were urgently called up by the college head and led to the auditorium in an orderly manner.
Looking at the sleeping bags on the ground, Hope knew that they would have to spend the night here.
Many students were a little confused and didn't know what happened, but looking at the expressions of the professors, they knew that something big must have happened, and they discussed it one by one.
Professor McGonagall didn't say it clearly, there was no need to make the students' spirits as tense as they were.
The reason The main reason why the students were gathered here was that they did not find any trace of the troll.
Although the door of the common room was protected by magic, it might not be able to stop the troll, so it was better to gather the students here and leave the professor to keep watch.
If the troll was really found, the students could run away in an orderly manner, so as to avoid notifying each college one by one, which would cause a big mess.
Hope was a little depressed. This was probably his own fault, and he could only bear it. Sleeping on the hard stone slab made him want to run to the soft big bed in the villa.
A night passed, and nothing happened.
The restrictions on students were temporarily relaxed, allowing students to move freely, but they were not allowed to approach the forbidden forest.
Hope yawned, got up early, and went back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep. Fortunately, he had tenacity. Skin, unlike Harry and the others who had backaches from sleeping.
When he woke up, it was already two or three in the afternoon, and Harry and the others had already gone somewhere to play.
Hope also ran directly to Kyoto, and it was already dark here at this time.
He was hungry and ordered takeout on the phone, and then started playing games with the dragon turtle.
It was already late, so he didn't plan to look for Huo Bufan, and planned to wait until tomorrow.
He ate snacks and played games with the dragon turtle for a day. These games were different from what Hope played before. People changed, and the games also changed. Although the essence was the same, it was still interesting to play.
When he was tired of playing, he could still swim. There was no such comfortable life in Hogwarts.
When Hope returned to Hogwarts, the sky in Kyoto was slightly bright. To some extent, he had stayed up all night.
After yesterday's incident, Harry and the others envied Hope's ability to come and go freely in Hogwarts, but Hope had already explained to them that his Disillusionment Charm could only work on them, so even if they had any ideas, they could do nothing about it.
Hope went to bed as soon as he came back. He was really tired after playing all day.
While Hope was sleeping, in an elegant teahouse courtyard in Poison Bee Valley, Bai Yuan, the eldest brother of the Bai family, was sitting in the main seat, entertaining a distinguished guest.
It was Yu Dongshan, the eldest brother of the Yu family, wearing a black gown.
However, from his appearance, he was not a gentleman.
He had a beard, a round face, and rough eyebrows.
The key was that his muscles bulged under his clothes.
It felt like his clothes would be stretched open if he was not careful.
As the eldest brothers of the two wealthy families, they sat here, representing their respective families.
And the reason why Yu Dongshan appeared here was because Bai Yuan invited him.
He just finished talking with Huo Bufan yesterday. Although he laughed all the time, he never smiled again after Huo Bufan left.
It was because Huo Bufan told him Hope's conditions, and he said it very toughly, which made Bai Yuan very uncomfortable.
What do you mean by only giving him one day to consider? How can he, the fifth son of the Huo family, say this to him?!
If it were any other time, let alone talking to him, he wouldn't even be qualified to sit in front of him. Now he dared to speak harshly to him!
Even if Huo Bufan had what the Bai family wanted, it was okay for the eldest son of the Huo family to say this to him, but Huo Bufan couldn't.
So he turned around and contacted the Yu family, inviting them to be guests and conspiring for big things. When he was chatting with Huo Bufan that day, he heard Huo Bufan's boasting that even the Yu family was trying to get the blood in his hand. He kept it in his mind, but now he used it.
Of course, the main reason was that Bai Yuan and Huo Bufan couldn't reach an agreement on the conditions.
The Bai family has the remains of a real dragon, but they are reluctant to give it up.
Even if the other party's things are good, the remains of a real dragon have always been one of the most precious treasures in their clan.
They can immediately agree to exchange for other things, but not for that thing.
But the deeper reason is not that they are reluctant to give it up, but that Huo Bufan is not worthy of it. This is not because they are too arrogant and look down on others, but the real truth.
They can trade equally, provided that the other party has the strength to match it fairly.
But unfortunately, the Huo family has it, but Huo Bufan does not.
Since it was the fifth son of the Huo family who came to discuss this matter, it is very likely that the Huo family was not aware of it and did not participate in it.
It was just that Huo Bufan himself was thinking about the remains of the real dragon of his family, otherwise even the eldest son of the Huo family would not come.
Then don't blame him for having evil thoughts!
But in the final analysis, Huo Bufan is still a member of the Huo family's main lineage.
Touching him is equivalent to hitting the face of the Huo family.
For the sake of face, the Huo family will not let it go, so Bai Yuan can only win over an ally, that is, the Yu family, which is also one of the five great families.
Of course, they can also talk directly with the Huo family, but once the Huo family knows that Huo Bufan has such a good thing, it is impossible for them to share a share with them. After all, it is Huo Bufan who needs the remains of the real dragon, not the Huo family.
Now the Bai family and the Yu family have joined forces. Once they get the things and the dust settles, they can take over no matter what the Huo family does.
Of course, the Huo family is unlikely to break up with the two families for something that has already been settled and cannot be reversed. They can only swallow this loss and keep it in mind.
As a wealthy family, he naturally knows the practices of wealthy families. If the opponent is not much different or slightly weaker, then the face is the most important, and the interests are second.
If the opponent is too strong, then the interests are the most important, and the face is second.
Ha! Has the friction between the five families ever been small? The major families have not kept a whole book of accounts, and even the grievances between his Bai family and the Yu family are not small, but this does not prevent them from conspiring for big things now.
"After I get the things, I want 80%!"
"Impossible! 50-50!"
Yu Dongshan's face was full of anger when he heard it, and he slammed his palm on the stone table, almost knocking it over.
"Heh, this matter is just a good thing to bring you along and give you a share of the pie, and you still sit on the main family? Don't you ask yourself why Huo Bufan didn't go to your Yu family!"
Bai Yuan sneered. It was impossible for him to split the profits with the Yu family in 50-50.
"If there is nothing to talk about, then don't talk about it. At most, we can do our own things." Yu Dongshan ignored this and threatened directly.
"If you, the Yu family, have the ability, you don't have to come. Go to the academy by yourself. If you are so fierce, you will kill Zhongkang as well!"
Bai Yuan snorted coldly, not afraid of Yu Dongshan's threats at all. Neither he nor Yu Dongshan was stupid. They naturally knew that the benefits of joining forces would be greater. The verbal dispute at this moment was just a dispute over interests.
The two direct line bosses went back and forth, arguing like you and me, without the usual care about the face and etiquette of the wealthy families, and quarreled until their faces were red.
After arguing about the profits, the two of them calmly tasted tea with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Bai, your tea tastes good.
"If you are used to it, I will give you a few boxes when you leave.
"Hahaha, how embarrassing."
"What's the big deal? We are all children of wealthy families. We should interact more and look after each other. This little tea is nothing. If it's not big enough, you can send someone over. I will definitely prepare it and send it to your house."
Without the interests, the two began to call each other brothers, and they were friendly and respectful. There was no sign that they had torn their faces and cursed each other before.
"Brother Bai, how will you do it? Is there a rule so that my Yu family can cooperate."
"It's in this teahouse. I will lead him here, and the cup will be smashed as a signal. Let's do it together!"
Bai Yuan put down the teacup and said lightly, his tone was very casual. The focus of this matter was not on Huo Bufan. Their two families had already joined forces. Huo Bufan was nothing. The difficulty of the next thing was relatively not even as difficult as their previous quarrel.
Of course, why did they need to work together to take down Huo Bufan? It was mainly to share the responsibility. Working together mainly showed an attitude.
"Hahaha, no problem.
My Yu family will prepare the truth serum.
This is our new formula.
The moment you drink it, you will feel a burning pain, but you can't move at all, so you can only be obedient."
This is of course not a truth serum, but just an excuse.
It can be regarded as black magic.
The effect is not as good as the Cruciatus Curse, but it is enough. "Of course, this is the best.
Who in the world doesn't know that the Yu family's magic potion is extremely good."
Bai Yuan had no objection when he heard it, and he gave a thumbs up and praised.
Unlike the Bai family, their Yu family has studied blood for a long time, and it can be said that they have used the power of the whole family, but they still haven't figured out what the blood comes from.
Compared with blood, they want to master this secret more.
When Hope woke up, it was almost four or five in the morning, and it was not yet light outside.
However, he slept for a long time yesterday morning, and he was not sleepy after waking up.
He simply got dressed and performed Apparition to come to the villa in Kyoto.
It was already noon in his hometown, and Hope was just having lunch.
He found a teahouse to have afternoon tea, but he was too bored to be alone, and he couldn't bring the dragon turtle with him.
Maybe it would be nice to invite Harry and others to travel here during the summer vacation. With magic, everything would be very convenient.
Drinking tea and eating exquisite meals, leisurely, this feeling couldn't be better, living an old age life in advance.
After eating, he returned to the villa. In order to digest the food, he played a few intense exercises with the dragon turtle, and then he remembered that he had something to do today.
Then he turned on the treasure perception and looked for Huo Bufan's position, ready to locate directly next to him, so as to save a few steps.
"Huh?"
Hope suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Huo Bufan, who was still in Kyoto, suddenly jumped to the southwest.
You have to know that the Apparition here in my hometown is similar to the Apparition in Europe.
In fact, there is a distance limit.
From Kyoto to the southwest, this is equivalent to cross-border teleportation in the British magic world.
Apparition is difficult to do.
After all, it is not like him who can Apparition to any place.
It seems that the door key was used!
Hope touched his chin. That place is undoubtedly the Poison Bee Valley of the Bai family. The reason why Huo Bufan appeared there is obvious.
I just don't know if the Bai family agreed. It just happened to run into it, so Hope naturally wanted to go and listen. .
