In the dark and damp room of Master Damon White, the wailing of pain rose and fell from time to time.
"Ho-ho-ho-"
Under the moonlight, Professor Quirrell faced the floor-length mirror and used the mirror to dismantle the gauze and change the dressing by himself.
He had no one he could trust, and he didn't dare to tell Madam Pomfrey about this matter. He had to steal some medicine from Snape and treat the injury hastily.
During this process, he felt a constant tingling pain all over his body, and his skin seemed to be burned by flames all the time.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
Looking at the scars on his body that were densely packed like centipedes, Quirrell's sigh became heavier, which made it sound a bit like sobbing, and it sounded desolate in the night wind.
"Useless waste! Are you crying-by a child!"
In the room where Quirrell was alone, a second voice suddenly sounded. This voice was terrifying and hideous, like the roar of a devil in the quiet room.
"Master, I'm sorry - I'm in so much pain."
"Idiot! You should pay more attention to other things than pain!"
At the back of Quirrell's head, a hideous and terrifying face was roaring angrily. Its color was as white as chalk, and its red eyes were shining, and below them were two long and thin nostrils like snakes.
"Master, what should I focus on? That kid named Damon is so strong that I can't defeat him. I'm afraid I can't get the Philosopher's Stone for you!"
"Do you want to betray me, Quirrell! You disgusting scum, after seeing a power stronger than you, you start to doubt your master's power?
Idiot! Can't you feel the power brought by pain?"
"Master - what do you mean?"
"Use the Killing Curse to feel it yourself. Dark magic is the most powerful magic in the world!"
Quirrell heard this and used Transfiguration to set up a target. He chanted to the target:
"Avada Kedavra"
His swinging posture was not very confident, and his tone was not very firm, but the pain from his body made Quirrell's heart become painful and crazy.
He hated Damon who caused all this. He had never thought that there would be a student who would be more annoying than Harry Potter. Hateful!
But Quirrell had to admit that he was afraid - he chose to surrender because he was afraid of the power of the Dark Lord.
He believed that Voldemort would return one day, and by then, all the unsteady Death Eaters would be liquidated by him, so he chose to take the initiative to find Voldemort.
But Quirrell never thought that he would be the first person to find Voldemort.
Wow!
The dazzling green light shone in the quiet room. Quirrell looked at the killing curse that was much more powerful than before and couldn't believe that it was his own power.
"See! You are different from the past! With hatred for that kid, bring the Philosopher's Stone to me, and then I will help you clean up everything!"
"Yes - Master!"
Looking at the dazzling green light, Quirrell regained some confidence.
The smile on his face was half crying and half laughing, which looked very strange against the green light.
Damon quickly solved the problem of the fire dragon Norbert.
Slug Giggs said in his reply that the magic suitcase was a prohibited item and he could not sell it, but there was a store called Borgin and Burke in Knockturn Alley that could definitely meet Damon's needs, but the price would be very high.
If Damon needed anything, he could solve it for him.
Things suddenly became simple - as I said before, a problem that can be solved with gold galleons is not a problem.
Although the two hundred gold Galleons he exchanged initially were about to run out due to his unrestrained spending,
Damon had to write another letter to ask his asset agent in London to buy some gold and jewelry as payment.
Fortunately, the whole thing only required two letters for Damon.
However, it was very cumbersome for the other two.
Slug Jiggs had to close the store for a day to handle this matter for Damon personally - he had to be cautious when it came to Muggles - the gold Galleons Damon paid were completely worth it.
Damon was not afraid that Slug would run away with the money because he had a big family and business, so there was no need for him to do such things. Moreover, he did not ask the agent to exchange too much at a time - he would go to Gringotts with the gold when he went home on vacation.
Borgin and Burke's moved quickly and provided good service.
In just seven days, on the morning of the second Friday, Damon saw the quaint suitcase lying quietly on the table.
Damon came to the box in his pajamas. There was an envelope glued to it with magic. After opening it, it was an introduction to the suitcase.
It was made of a whole piece of Hebdi Islands black dragon skin. The scales were layered and had a metallic cold luster in the morning light.
The box was about two feet long and was a retro suitcase style. The raised spine-like keel on the curved dome ran through the head and tail. The whole box was slender, short and narrow, and looked very light.
Considering that Damon was using it to raise magical animals, the box was cast with a traceless extension spell to expand the space. Nine scenes were created according to classification. The first one was exactly the snowy mountain environment needed by Norbert, the Norwegian ridgeback dragon.
At the same time, in order to ensure safety, the front two sides of the box were forged with ouroboros-style magic locks with mithril. Only the first person who inputs magic power can open it. It is currently in the unset mode, waiting for Damon to activate it.
Of course, under the effect of magic, the magical creatures inside could not break the seal of the suitcase from the inside, completely eliminating the possibility of magical animals escaping.
In order to get such a perfect suitcase, Damon spent a full three thousand gold galleons.
"It is worthy of being a store that can stand in a place like Knockturn Alley where there are all kinds of people. Although the price is a bit high, the quality is really beyond reproach."
Damon's face showed satisfaction. He stretched out two fingers on each hand and placed them on the Ouroboros lock, infusing his magic power. The lock made of mithril glowed slightly, and the Ouroboros biting its tail seemed to come alive and relaxed lightly.
"Click."
With a crisp sound, the suitcase opened, revealing the black internal structure. At the same time, Harry and Ron were also awakened by this crisp sound - when they saw Damon standing in front of the suitcase, they instantly realized what it meant.
Is the magical box that can accommodate a fire dragon already ready?
They all jumped off the bed quickly and nimbly, came to Damon barefoot, and admired this luxurious magical creation together.
Unlike the rough and wild outer dragon skin, the lining of the suitcase is made of matte soft leather, which feels cool and soft. It looks no different from an ordinary suitcase, but as long as a certain amount of pressure is applied, it can lead to the space inside.
Damon grabbed the little dragon on his chest - in the past seven days, Norbert's body has expanded three times like a balloon, but he has been controlled by Damon with a shrinking spell.
If Damon hadn't been comforting her all the time, giving her enough food and drink, and his strength far exceeded hers, she would have made a fuss if she was missing anything.
Now, she can finally be given a comfortable environment.
"Can we join you?"
Harry and Ron whispered behind Damon.
"Of course, come together."
The three of them and the dragon jumped into the world in the suitcase together.
Because of this, they missed the upcoming riot that shocked all the wizards in Hogwarts - thousands of owls flew from all over the UK, covering the sky and blocking the sun, like some kind of terrifying locust plague, all moving towards Hogwarts.
They all have a common goal - to deliver the master's letter to the discoverer of the White Theory, the emerging master of Transfiguration - Mr. Damon White.
