Chapter 218 The hope of reversal
Madam Pomfrey checked the time: "I think he should still be in the principal's office. He won't go to the auditorium in a few minutes."
"Thank you for taking care of me. I have something urgent to find Professor Dumbledore." Dean jumped up from the bed and ran towards the principal's office.
Madam Pomfrey looked at Dean in astonishment, who looked nothing like he had just recovered from a serious illness: "This young man is just like the brat from the Scamander family, he is not grateful at all..."
"Please, we must catch up. The semester is not over yet, and I still have hope of turning the tide." Dean kept praying.
Dean, who was going retrograde, knocked away countless students who were rushing to the auditorium for the year-end banquet.
As soon as Dean ran to the door of the principal's office, he saw him walking out of it.
"Aha~ Dean, I was still wondering when you would wake up." Dumbledore said with a smile and led Dean into the principal's office.
Dean noticed that the portraits of past principals in the principal's office were empty, including Phineas.
"They all went to the year-end banquet in the portrait hall. This kind of excitement only happens once a semester." After noticing Dean's gaze, Dumbledore explained smoothly.
There is no doubt that objectively it created an environment for them to talk alone.
"T-Professor, Q-Qi Luo... the Philosopher's Stone..." Dean asked out of breath.
"Dean, thank you for your concern. My plan is perfect, the Philosopher's Stone is safe, and Quirrell...it's a pity." Dumbledore shrugged helplessly.
"Is Q-Qi Luo dead?" Dean asked holding the last glimmer of hope.
"Yes, even though you have made a lot of efforts, you still failed to save his life in the end." Dean's mood immediately hit the bottom: "So my efforts were in vain?... Why, why am I so sleepy? Long?"
"Dean, I don't think so. At least you made Quirrell understand what a truly meaningful life is." Dumbledore comforted him and then changed the subject: "As for why you were asleep for so long, I think it's Because you are fused with Fox’s blood.”
After hearing this, Dean finally cheered up a little: "Professor, what is going on?"
"Well, the year-end banquet is about to begin, let's make a long story short." Dumbledore shook his finger: "After you used symbiosis magic on Frank, you couldn't help but fainted for a moment; luckily there is a magical link between you and Fox, so Fox immediately transferred its magic power to you; but Frank's injuries were not only on his soul, but also on his body. There were also many hidden injuries that broke out at the same time; you seem to have some kind of powerful self-healing ability, but self-healing The speed was far from enough; I asked Fox to share some of its blood with you, and this stabilized the situation."
Dumbledore pointed to the flagging phoenix on the shelf: "Your plan was successful. Frank escaped from serious injuries. As long as given time, Newt will definitely bring it back to its peak; but Fox paid a heavy price." , you see, it enters the nirvana cycle.”
"As for you, because you need to fuse with Phoenix blood, after discussing with Severus, he used a little potion to put you into a deep sleep, so that you can integrate better. Recently, Snape almost I will stay by your side and take care of you whenever I have free time. If it weren't for today's year-end banquet, Slytherin would probably win the Academy Cup. He must make some preparations in advance. I'm afraid you will see him as soon as you wake up."
"But you have decided to give the Academy Cup to Gryffindor, right? Even if Slytherin is significantly ahead now." Dean couldn't help but feel sorry for Snape.
"Dean, I think that with Harry and his team's outstanding performance in the last few days, there is no doubt that Gryffindor will win the House Cup - aren't you also a member of Gryffindor?" Dumbledore said with a smile.
Dean was speechless. For the first time, he felt that joining Gryffindor might have been a mistake: the Sorting Hat was right, Slytherin was more suitable for him, especially after knowing that Snape was his godfather.
"Dean, I suggest you have a good talk with Severus after the banquet. During the days when you were in a coma, he was in a terrible mood and caused a lot of trouble to students in other houses - this is not The normal behavior a professor should have." Dumbledore warned earnestly.
Dean was filled with doubts. Didn't Dumbledore discuss this with Snape?
Snape should know that his drowsiness was normal, so why was he still upset and angry at students from other houses?
Unless otherwise hidden.
After Dean looked up and saw Dumbledore's profound gaze, he suddenly realized that all this was arranged by Dumbledore.
Because Dean's performance was so outstanding, he gradually escaped from Dumbledore's control. Especially after Dean and Grindelwald got on the line, Dumbledore felt even more in danger.
In order to prevent Dean from destroying his plan to cultivate a savior, Dumbledore had to resort to this strategy and put Dean in a coma for two months, perfectly missing the classic scene of Harry's heroic battle against Voldemort.
Snape must have been coerced by Dumbledore into making the potion that put Dean to sleep.
Snape couldn't resist Dumbledore, so it's no wonder that he vented his anger on the other three houses, especially Gryffindor.
Dean's eyes turned cold when he thought of this. When Dumbledore unexpectedly agreed to Dean's symbiosis plan without consulting Snape, Dean felt something was wrong. This was not like Dumbledore's plan at all. style.
It turns out that in order for Harry to "thrive", Dumbledore even resorted to small means to put Dean into a long-term coma.
Even though Dumbledore objectively helped him save Frank, Dean still felt very uncomfortable.
"Dean, you seem a little unhappy? Is it because we made you comatose for so long on our own initiative? For your health, Severus and I both think it is worth it; and because you missed the exam, I especially All your final grades will be calculated as good (E)..." Dumbledore patiently explained to Dean.
If there is no system mission, even if he feels unhappy, Dean can completely accept Dumbledore's arrangement, but the main mission "rescue" is something he is unwilling to give up under any circumstances.
Speaking of missions... Dean suddenly discovered that in the system's mission list, the "Rescue" mission had not failed, and even the "Academy Mission: The Curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts: The First Year of the Curse: Quirrell's Secret" had not failed yet. , does this mean that he still has hope of reversal?
Dean suddenly seemed to have found a ray of hope. He almost forgot that he also had a time and space converter!
As long as we reverse time a little, we can catch up before Quirrell breaks through...
Dean raised his head excitedly and met Dumbledore's wise eyes that seemed to see through everything. His heart froze: Dumbledore's plan had already been successful, how could he be allowed to go back through time and space to cause havoc? ?
Judging from Dumbledore's expression, he had clearly guessed his plan. If Dean really dared to use the space-time converter, he had no doubt that Dumbledore would confiscate it on the spot to avoid future trouble!
