Harry potter galactic empire

Lin Mo was a little worried after leaving Ywell.

Maybe I shouldn't have left her there alone. Think about it, if I was in my early ten years, standing alone in a deserted dark corridor at 3:30 in the middle of the night, watching for the possible appearance of the big devil, even if

I guess I can't hold on even if I have an invisibility cloak. It seems that at that age I have to turn on all the lights when I'm at home alone, but right now there's really no other way.

After all, Quirrell has proven that he can detect and destroy the invisible machine in advance. If he really comes out of the trap door when he goes to find Professor Xiclea, someone needs to be able to see Quirrell's whereabouts and whether he

And coerced Harry.

I just hope that the quality of the invisibility cloak is high. After all, it is the legendary Deathly Hallows that even the God of Death is helpless against. It should be able to hide it from Quirrell's eyes if Yvel can be calm enough not to make a sound.

Professor Scikleia's office is on the seventh floor of the castle, only one floor away from the principal's office. He has been there twice.

"Dong dong dong!" Lin Mo knocked on the door hard.

"Please come in."

To Lin Mo's surprise, almost the moment he knocked on the door, Professor Xicklea's sweet voice came from behind the door.

It's past three o'clock in the middle of the night and Professor Xicklea hasn't gone to bed yet?

He didn't know that this beautiful professor was also a night owl like Snape, at least you couldn't tell from his face.

But he was immediately relieved. It was good that Professor Xikelea was still there. Finally, there was a professor who had not been transferred from the school to ask for help.

The door lock clicked open, and Lin Mo pushed the door open and entered.

Sure enough, Siklea, wearing a white wizard robe, was standing next to her messy bookcase, staring at an hourglass filled with white sand grains. The twisted hourglass looked very strange. It had three parts in total, with the top one remaining.

The white sand in the lower layer is slowly flowing to the middle layer, while the white sand in the middle layer is falling into the bottom layer little by little at a much slower speed.

It's like the hour and minute hands of the dial are moving towards each other.

For some reason, she didn't seem surprised by Lin Mo's visit. She took a bag of sandwich biscuits from the shelf and handed it to Lin Mo, "Honey Duke's latest sandwich biscuits," she said and tasted one herself:

"Why don't you rest up so late?"

Lin Moke couldn't care less about tasting the snacks. The time was tight and Yvel stayed there alone, which made him quite worried. "Professor, do you know about the Sorcerer's Stone?" He asked: "Principal Dumbledore put the Sorcerer's Stone in the school.

for protection."

"Oh, I've heard about that stone. Although the principal is mysterious and doesn't explain it clearly, we all know the corridor on the right hand side of the fourth floor." Xicklea blinked her sea-blue eyes, speaking softly.

Under the bright light, it looks like a piece of dark and restrained bluestone, but it still shines with a hint of cunning: "What's wrong with that stone?"

"That's it," Lin Mo said hurriedly:

"We have evidence that Quirrell entered the trap door to steal the Philosopher's Stone. Harry went in and tried to hold Quirrell away, but he still hasn't come back after several hours. The other professors were out of the office and couldn't be contacted.

I think they may have been lured away from the school by Quirrell with false information that Peeves had seen Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall in the foyer."

"Professor Quirrell went to steal the Sorcerer's Stone?" Sciclerea's eyes widened: "Quilinas is a few years older than me. I knew him when I was in school. How could he steal the Sorcerer's Stone? You again

How do you know?"

"It's the Dark Lord, he's working for the Dark Lord," Lin Mo said:

"And the entrance door to the corridor on the fourth floor has been opened. If you go and check,"

"Speak slowly," Xikelea didn't seem to think this was a serious matter.

She took off the hourglass from the bookcase and placed it on her messy desk, then pointed to the chair and motioned for Lin Mo to sit down first: "Tell me in detail what happened, and speak slowly." She opened another pack of sandwich biscuits and put it in her mouth.

Sending.

"Okay." Lin Mo tried not to be too impatient, but the thin white sand in the hourglass on the desk slipped, as if to remind him that time was passing little by little. He didn't understand why Xikelea was not anxious at all.

Didn't the name "Dark Lord" make her realize the seriousness of the matter?

He could only tell the story from the beginning in detail, how they suspected that someone wanted to steal the stone, how they arranged a stealth machine to monitor the trap door and found someone entering before the curfew. Harry decided to arrest the person, but they were unable to find him.

When someone came to help, it was not until just now that Lin Mo remembered that she might be at school and asked Evel to stay at the door to continue monitoring the situation.

Sciclerea ate and listened, enjoying it as if she were hearing a story. From time to time, she would ask for details, such as how they made the Muggle reconnaissance plane work normally at Hogwarts, and how he met Peeves.

Even though those things seemed unimportant to Lin Mo, she seemed very interested and insisted on letting Lin Mo explain it slowly.

By the time Lin Mo finished speaking, Sikelea had eaten an entire box of sandwich cookies, and there was not much white sand left on the top layer of the hourglass.

Xicklea looked at the hourglass and seemed a little absent-minded.

"...Professor?" Lin Mo couldn't help but remind: "Harry is probably being tortured by Quirrell."

"Ah? Oh, I understand," Scikleya said, looking at the hourglass again and saying there was no change from before: "I don't know more about the situation than you do, I need to think about what's going on, um...

...my brain hurts...the magic power is not enough..."

She took out a plate of cream pudding from somewhere and tasted it bit by bit with a small spoon.

"Oh, if you want to eat too," she glanced at Lin Mo, then took out a plate of identical cream pudding and pushed it towards him.

"Now is not the time to eat butter pudding!" Lin Mo felt like he was about to collapse. He would forget about it at ordinary times, but it was completely unreliable why Xike Leiya was still like this at the critical moment. He easily smashed the third-order iron beetle to pieces.

Where is Professor Claire? Can you put down the pudding first and save Harry?

I guess she was lucky. If she had eaten two more pieces of pudding at that time, she might have been buried in the worm's belly.

"It is necessary to replenish magic power at any time." Xicklea said absently.

Her attention was still on the hourglass.

Lin Mo took a look and saw that there was not much white sand left in the top layer of the hourglass, and almost all of it fell to the middle layer. If it was counting time, that meant...

His heart suddenly thumped, "What are you waiting for?" He couldn't help but ask:

"The end of the countdown to the top of the hourglass?"

"I think we should believe Principal Dumbledore." Xicklea seemed to be thinking and did not answer Lin Mo's question.

"I also believe that he trusts him," Lin Mo stared at the hourglass nervously: "But now Harry has been in for several hours, Hermione and Ron have been back for a long time, and he hasn't come back yet."

"Since we all trust Principal Dumbledore, it will be easy..." Xicklea's brows widened.

She looked very satisfied after eating the last piece of pudding. At the same time, the last grain of white sand in the upper part of the hourglass had also fallen, leaving only the fine sand in the middle layer flowing slowly to the lower layer, as if being strangled by the neck. I don't know how long it would take.

Only then can they all fall down.

"I'm leaving," she said, picking up the hourglass.

"Let's go?" Lin Mo asked hesitantly: "Where are you going? Aren't we going to find Harry?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you." Scikleia said, holding her beautiful white wand in her right hand.

"Sorry?" For some reason, Lin Mo suddenly felt palpitations in his heart. He slowly stood up and walked back to the door: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go find other professors for help. Ivel is still waiting for me.

I didn't"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't let you leave." Xike Leiya blinked at him, looking very innocent, but Lin Mo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and all the hairs on his body stood on end. "

What did you say...I don't understand."

He slowly backed away, heading towards the entrance of the office.

"I have to leave you here and I don't want to do this."

Without any further hesitation, Lin Mo turned around and ran out.

But it was already too late, Xike Leiya ducked out of the door almost instantly, making Lin Mo unable to avoid it even in his soy sauce state.

She didn't use the wand at all, but pushed lightly with her left hand. She didn't know what kind of magic she had used. Lin Mo felt her body hit a spring mattress and staggered back. She didn't stand firm until she reached the table.

"Professor Xiclea!"

"You can eat whatever snacks you want in the office. The delicious ones are all in the cabinet." Xiklea stood outside the door and lightly swiped the entrance to the office with her wand. "There are many obstacles!" she read to Lin Mo.

Blinking his sea-blue eyes: "I wish you good luck."
