Chapter 100: The Ponytail Girl's Ponytail
A person is most afraid of becoming an outlier, being out of tune with the people around him, and then he will easily become the focus and the object of research.
It's like driving on a highway, and everyone except you is driving against the flow, so you have to consider whether you are the one driving against the flow.
It's like everyone is posting obscene pictures, and only you report it, so you have to consider whether you are the pervert.
The special power displayed by Rolf is completely outlier among all the wizards.
Fortunately, in the magic world, there are innate talents such as Snake Old Tune and Disguise Magus.
Then who dares to say that Rolf's system cannot be classified as one of them?
Since it can be classified as one of them, he is not too outlier... No matter whether others believe it or not, Rolf believes it anyway.
"I found a snake in the pipe through the snake's voice, and remembered the legend of the secret chamber. I looked up the past information and found that Myrtle died fifty years ago. At that time, there was also a rumor that the secret chamber was opened.
I found Myrtle and asked her what she saw before she died. Finally, I found the entrance in the bathroom. I didn't expect to meet Quirrell..."
Of course, Rolf couldn't say that he was a time traveler and knew the location of the secret chamber long ago. He could only come up with a set of excuses...an excuse that could justify himself.
As for whether Dumbledore would find out that Rolf was lying, there is no need to worry about it. The headmaster generally does not use Legilimency on young wizards and ordinary people.
He has his own bottom line. He will not be like Voldemort, who wants to use Legilimency at all times.
In other words, the reason why Dumbledore is Dumbledore, not Grindelwald or Voldemort, is because he will restrain himself and will not do things recklessly by relying on his own power.
Of course, it is also difficult to deceive Dumbledore because he has outstanding wisdom and outstanding insight.
Dumbledore could easily tell whether a wizard was lying without Legilimency.
Fortunately, Rolf's actions in the Chamber of Secrets were enough to win Dumbledore's trust, especially when the boy stopped Quirrell and took back the Philosopher's Stone...
At this moment, he took out the tempting stone from his pocket again, but without any hesitation, he handed it back...
Dumbledore liked this child even more!
Intelligent, talented, kind to others, and most importantly, able to withstand temptation... He was simply an enhanced version of his younger self.
"Oh, I almost forgot about it." Dumbledore took the stone that had almost lost its luster.
"After Harry gave the Philosopher's Stone to Quirrell, I almost thought I had lost it completely. I didn't expect you to get it back."
"Rolf, I must say you did a noble and brave thing today." Dumbledore praised:
"You found the Chamber of Secrets and stopped the Basilisk. I heard from Harry that Voldemort was going to put the Basilisk into the Quidditch field.
If he did it, it would be a disaster. I think you can get an "Outstanding Contribution to the School Award."
Dumbledore put the Philosopher's Stone on the table and said in a gentle voice:
"Of course, I think you get a Mei Lin Xunzhang is not too much. You prevented Voldemort from resurrecting... Unfortunately, it is not my decision.
I just talked about something with Minister Fudge, but he thinks you are too young, and Professor Quirrell was engulfed by the devil's flames, so he can't prove many things. At most, he stole the Philosopher's Stone. "
"I have no intention of interfering with Minister Fudge's decision..." Dumbledore blinked and smiled, "But sometimes he is more conservative than an old man like me."
"Okay, I should go. If I don't leave, Madam Pomfrey will rush out to drive me away. You know, she is more fierce than Professor McGonagall." Dumbledore stood up.
"Professor..." Rolf suddenly asked, "I have another question."
"Is it the last one?"
"Of course." Rolf looked at Dumbledore's back and asked seriously, "What if Voldemort really took the Philosopher's Stone and resurrected?"
"Then I might not be very distressed." Dumbledore said calmly, "Because Tom will soon find that the magic power in this magic stone is almost exhausted."
"After Voldemort's resurrection, the elixir of immortality will soon lose its effect, and then his body will quickly age and die. He has tried to resurrect for several years, but the result is always failure."
Rolf thought thoughtfully.
Dumbledore turned and left the room.
"Professor, you forgot to take the Philosopher's Stone." Rolf shouted.
"It's okay, Rolf, you protected the Philosopher's Stone from Voldemort, I believe you won't lose it. During the summer vacation, you can return it to its real owner... Good night!"
After Dumbledore left, Rolf leaned against the head of the bed, he picked up the stone and gently stroked it.
Is the magic power in the Philosopher's Stone almost used up? Dumbledore was holding a nearly useless stone and playing with Tom.
It was terrible.
With a creak, the door suddenly opened and then closed again. Rolf looked up, but he didn't see anyone.
"Who?!"
A figure slowly appeared. It was Rolf's invisible beast Uduka, but not only her, but there was also a girl hidden in the invisible beast's arms, helping her to be invisible.
"Shirley, why are you here?" Rolf asked in surprise.
Shirley stood not far away. She raised her head with difficulty, squeezed out a smile that was more haggard than crying, and said:
"I came to see you... Madam Pomfrey didn't allow us to come in. Hermione begged her many times. Everyone said you..."
"I'm fine." Rolf lifted the quilt, stood up and said, "I told you before at the Quidditch field that the blood is not mine, but belongs to Quirrell and the Basilisk..."
"I'm really fine, look!" Luo Fu jumped out of bed and said lively:
"I also caught a basilisk and put it in the box. Did you see it? Stay away from it. That guy seems to have some mental problems. He is always "we, us". Maybe he is schizophrenic."
"Are those rumors true? Everyone is saying that Quirrell is a dark wizard, and you took back the Sorcerer's Stone..." Shirley asked, looking down at her toes.
"More or less, I'll tell you the details later." Luofu raised the stone on the table, shook it and said:
"The Philosopher's Stone, the earliest crystallization of alchemy, the thing that Voldemort coveted. Before he could warm it up, I chopped off his head and kicked him into the flames.
Take a look quickly..."
Shirley did not take it. The pale girl wrinkled her beautiful face and struggled not to show her cowardly side in front of Luofu.
But tears still fell from his eyes little by little.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Shirley really cried, but her eyes were red and she bit her mouth to prevent herself from crying.
Luofu walked over in a hurry, and said softly: "Stop crying, am I okay?"
The girl with the ponytail just cried but didn't speak.
"Shirley, don't say anything!" Luo Fu, who was about to suffer from autism, said at a loss:
"If something like this happens again in the future, I will definitely not go there casually. Even if I want to go, I will tell you. How about you agree to my going?"
The girl raised her head and looked at Luo Fu with tears in her eyes: "Really?"
Luofu stretched out his hand to wipe her tears and said with a smile: "Of course it's true. I'm just lying to you."
"You have to write it in the work contract... If you violate the agreement, your... box will be mine..." Shirley cried and laughed, the pear blossoms were raining, but they were as bright as flowers.
Rolf also laughed, and he reached out his hand and touched the ponytail of his ponytail for the first time.
