Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Chapter 282 Of course this is your dereliction of duty! Albus!

Harry was taken aside by Professor McGonagall, and the atmosphere in the tavern was very depressing for a while.

"Let him tell the rest." Barty Crouch broke the atmosphere. Quirrell was dying, and he had to tell him everything he knew quickly.

"Continue with the rest of the story," Rasim ordered Quirrell.

"Lucas and Harry disappeared, and we also lost the Philosopher's Stone. The master is furious, but we have no other choice. We can only go to Nicolas Flamel... Fortunately, we know his address. We apparated over, and then the master disenchanted the outside of his house and broke in."

"Nicholas Flamel is very old. He almost... cough cough cough..." Quirrell suddenly coughed violently, and his breath weakened again. "He, he didn't expect that we would break in. We broke in without any effort." Controlled him, and then used his wife to threaten him to hand over the elixir. He didn't seem to value the elixir very much and handed it over."

"Master, ahem, the master thought he was cheating, threatened him to confirm whether the elixir of life was real, and finally killed his wife, but Nicoléme seemed to be frightened, and he stopped talking. Master In fact, he knew that what he got was the real elixir of life. He killed the old guy because he was very angry, but he still did not kill Nicoléme. He was worried that if something else happened, Nicoléme would It’s still useful.”

Several people looked at Dumbledore. They all knew that Nicolas Flamel and his wife were Dumbledore's friends.

But Dumbledore remained expressionless.

"We left Nicoléme's home, returned to the cemetery, and prepared the potion again..." Quirrell said, frowning in pain, "I offered my hand, and then Murphy, Murphy showed up..."

"His spell hit me, and then I watched him add a lot of things to the resurrection potion...and then the master, the master, turned into a monster...Murphy killed him, and the master's resurrection plan was once again, Was blocked..."

"Then Murphy knocked me out again...and when I woke up, I was here..."

Everyone nodded. Quirrell's testimony was consistent with Murphy's statement. It seemed that Voldemort was stopped twice tonight, once by Tom and once by Murphy.

"Quirrell, I want to hear you tell me more about that diary..." Dumbledore just started to speak, but he saw Quirrell's eyes widening suddenly, and a wisp of blood flowed out from his nostrils, "Master , don’t leave me, master..."

He wailed, throwing his head back, and suddenly lost his breath.

Quirrell is dead.

The Aurors took Quirrell's body away for a final inspection.

Rasim then asked Snape, Ron, Hermione, Qiu Zhang and others, and learned the reasons and experiences of several people going to the trap door.

There is no doubt except that a few young wizards are too bold.

Hermione and others also learned that Snape protected Harry and had been trying to protect the Philosopher's Stone from being stolen by Quirrell.

Finally, Rasim looked at Murphy, "Professor Murphy, Lucas finally handed over the Philosopher's Stone, right? Where is it now?"

"No, I didn't get the Philosopher's Stone."

"What?" Rashim didn't understand.

"Unfortunately, the magic stone that Lucas gave me was fake. When I went to find the teacher, the teacher told me."

Murphy said, taking out a pile of gravel from the plastic bag, "This is it. It breaks into pieces with a hammer. It's just red crystal."

"Are you saying that Voldemort still took away the real Philosopher's Stone?" Rasim asked in shock, "Then why did he go to Nicoléme to steal the elixir of life?"

"So, Voldemort doesn't know that the Philosopher's Stone is fake." Murphy said, "And I don't think Tom and Harry will lie to me."

"So, I think, thanks to the principal's foresight, the Philosopher's Stone should not have been placed in those traps from the beginning, and it should still be in the principal's hands now, right?"

"Is that so?" Harry was shocked, and all the professors were also shocked. They looked at Dumbledore, "There is no Sorcerer's Stone in that trap at all. Is it a trap created by a mystery? Dumbledore?"

"Sometimes we need to prepare for the worst," Dumbledore said.

"So, you have the Philosopher's Stone now?" asked Commander of the Watch, Winston Robinson.

Dumbledore glanced at him, "Yes."

"Then I'm afraid you should return the Philosopher's Stone to Mr. Murphy."

"Give it back?" Dumbledore keenly discovered the subtle words used by the other party.

"Yes," said Winston. "Earlier, we received a notification from Mr. Nicoléme. He invited us to confirm a new will he made. He gave all his books on alchemy, Notes, utensils, and alchemical products—including the Philosopher’s Stone and the Elixir of Life—were all given to his student, Mr. Murphy Darkholm.”

"Therefore, the Philosopher's Stone now belongs to Mr. Murphy Darkholm."

Dumbledore showed a slightly surprised look, but then said doubtfully: "I have never heard Flamel mention that you were his student."

"Maybe it's because I'm still too immature. The teacher never admitted that I was his disciple in the past." Murphy said, "To be honest, I didn't expect that the teacher would leave these things to me."

Dumbledore looked at him for a while, then looked away, "Then Nico..."

"It is very regrettable that Mr. Nicoléme took an overdose of the Water of Life and Death half an hour ago and passed away following his wife."

Dumbledore's eyes dimmed for a moment, "Really?"

He was not particularly surprised. From several previous letters, they had also mentioned this possibility, and the Lemay couple had already been prepared.

"So, can we conclude now," Rasim said, "The death of this student was due to his courageous fight against Voldemort. This is a feat, but it is also a terrible tragedy. Can we think that, in addition to Is there no one else besides Voldemort who needs to be held responsible for the death of this student?”

However, as soon as Rashim finished speaking, he heard a witch shout: "Are you kidding me?!"

"A student dies while attending school and no one needs to be held responsible?!"

"Ms. Kaliman, what do you mean?"

Kaliman is a gray-haired witch. She is the chairperson of the Hogwarts School Board. At this moment, she looked at Rasim angrily, "Isn't this a dereliction of duty by the school?"

"Or, is it because this student is an orphan and there is no one who can redress his grievances, so you are just going to expose it?"

For a moment, no one dared to speak out.

This is of course a failure of the school.

After all, Hogwarts is a boarding school. Parents send their children to study here. Students have to live in school throughout the year except for holidays. Of course, the school has an obligation to protect the safety of students.

Dumbledore had to speak, "It was my dereliction of duty that something like this happened in the school."

"Of course this is your dereliction of duty! Albus!" Kaliman said unceremoniously.

"We also have some questions that we need to ask you. Let the hearing begin now."
