Hearing Hermione's words, Ron curled his lips in disdain and said:
"He saved us? Hermione, don't be silly! It was me, Harry, and Wentworth who saved you!"
"Harry and I were originally going to rescue you, but Draco stopped us halfway and opposed Harry going to find you. If Wentworth hadn't appeared in time..."
But before Ron could finish his words, Harry stopped him:
"Ron!"
Seeing Harry's reaction, Ron rolled his eyes and stopped talking. At this time, Hermione stood there with empty eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing this, Harry patted Hermione on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, Hermione. Draco is our friend. At least, he has changed a lot compared to the past..."
Hearing Harry's words, Hermione nodded silently, but said nothing more.
Seeing this, Harry gave Ron a fierce look, and Ron spread his hands indifferently.
After the three of them had dinner in silence, they came to the library together. Just as they found a place to sit down and put down the things in their hands, a thick parchment book fell in front of everyone with a "bang".
Harry and Ron were so frightened that they almost jumped up.
Then, the three of them turned around and looked back, only to see Draco with his hands on his shoulders, looking at them triumphantly.
Seeing that it was Draco who dropped the parchment book on the table, Ron was shocked and immediately said angrily: "Draco, what are you doing!"
Harry looked at the parchment book that Draco had thrown on the table with curiosity, while Hermione beside him looked at Draco with complicated eyes.
Ron saw Draco hugging his shoulders with a smug smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, so he said loudly:
"Draco, since you're here so early, could you please start looking instead of just grinning like an idiot?"
Hearing Ron's words, Draco looked at Ron with contempt, and then said, "Today, we can have a good rest!"
Ron rolled his eyes and responded:
"I told you, our Master Malfoy can't endure so much hardship!"
But Harry beside him seemed to have reacted, staring at Draco closely and asking:
"You... you found it?"
Hearing Harry's words, Ron opened his eyes wide and turned to look at Draco in disbelief. Even Hermione's eyes regained some spirit.
Seeing the reactions of the three people, Draco's smile deepened. Draco cleared his throat and said, "Nic Flamel is the only known creator and owner of the Philosopher's Stone. He is a master alchemist!"
After hearing what Draco said, Hermione seemed to remember something, but Harry and Ron were still confused.
But Harry and Ron's expressions made Draco even happier. Draco said exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, don't you ever read books?"
As Draco spoke, he opened the thick parchment book in front of the three people, pointed to a paragraph, and continued:
"The Philosopher's Stone is a powerful substance. It can turn any metal into gold. It can also create an elixir of life, making those who drink it immortal!"
Draco gave Ron a disdainful look and replied, "It means immortality!"
Perhaps stimulated by Draco's expression just now, Ron quickly said: "Of course I know it's immortality!"
Seeing that Ron was about to quarrel with Draco again, Harry quickly signaled Ron to be quiet:
"Shh!"
Seeing this, Draco made a face at Ron before continuing, "The only Philosopher's Stone belongs to Mr. Nick Flamel, a famous alchemist who celebrated his 665th birthday last year!"
When Draco finished speaking, Harry and the other two were stunned with astonishment. After a long while, Harry finally spoke up and said, "I understand. This is what Hagrid's three-headed dog is guarding! Under that door is the Philosopher's Stone!"
Hearing this, perhaps stimulated by Draco just now, Ron seemed eager to do something. He immediately stood up, walked out, and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Seeing this, Draco couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What are you going to do?"
Ron replied:
"Of course we're going to warn Snape. We already know his plan. Let him behave himself!"
But after Ron finished speaking, he didn't hear any response from behind him. He turned around and saw Draco, Harry and others looking at him strangely.
"What's wrong? What's with that expression on your face? Why don't you react at all?"
Seeing this, Draco waved at Ron and said, "Drive slowly. I have nothing else to tell you. After all, I have no experience in seeking death!"
Then, Draco turned to look at Harry and said, "Harry, I still insist that you don't be friends with this kind of person in the future! I'm afraid that one day you will be tricked to death by him, and you don't even know it!"
Ignoring Draco's sarcasm, Harry quickly pulled Ron back and said, "Ron, we definitely can't go directly to Snape!"
Hearing Harry's words, Ron seemed to realize his impulsiveness and quickly covered it up, "I was just joking. I think we should tell Dumbledore about this!"
Seeing Harry's thoughtful look, Draco said, "Don't be silly. Tell Dumbledore? Do you have any evidence? You are going to report the professor of Hogwarts and the dean of Slytherin without any evidence at all. Don't even mention whether Headmaster Dumbledore believes it or not. Until now, I still don't believe it!"
After hearing what Draco said, Harry was silent for a while. He had to admit that although Draco's words were unpleasant, they did make sense.
Thinking of this, Harry said slowly, "Draco is right. We need evidence. We don't even have evidence that someone is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, let alone accusing Snape of stealing it!"
At this point, Draco and Ron both shut their mouths, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
At this moment, Hermione suddenly clapped her hands and said:
"Hey, come on, be happy. At least, we know what his goal is, right? This is a huge improvement!"
After hearing Hermione's words, everyone felt a little better. At this time, Hermione continued, "Besides, Christmas is coming soon! We can relax for a few days!"
