Chapter 1477

"Never mind who he is, just tell us about the scene at the time..."

"The scene? What is there to say about that?

They came in to steal things, were discovered by the owner, and were finally punished by the owner of the items. Isn't that a normal thing?"

Phineas said with disdain.

"Those weren't Snape's things!"

"But they were things inside Snape's school, he has the right to punish them. If I were headmaster, I would have hung them up with ropes!"

"Too bad you're dead!"

Harry said coldly.

"Impolite! Outrageous! I'm leaving!"

Phineas shouted loudly.

Hermione hurriedly tried to appease him from the side: "Then do you remember, when Darren was taking the Sorting Hat, did he say anything?"

Phineas stopped struggling.

He said with some arrogance and hesitation: "Logically speaking, we shouldn't do things like passing messages, but I do like this child...

Plus, the current headmaster hasn't forbidden me from saying these things.

And you are so polite, so I can only tell you...

When Darren Potter was holding the Sorting Hat, he made a gesture of putting on the hat and praying.

Then a sword fell out of the hat, and he put some deadly poison on that sword... I suspect he wanted to kill someone..."

Hermione's breathing quickened.

"Is that so! Then did you tell Professor Snape about this?"

Phineas sneered.

"The headmaster needs to ask us before we need to say anything. Obviously, Headmaster Snape is a man of few words...

Alright, I'm leaving! You bunch of impolite fellows!"

Phineas finally found an exit.

He left the portrait.

Only a blank portrait remained.

Harry looked at that empty portrait.

Joy appeared on his face.

"I understand, Darren wasn't trying to steal the sword at all. He knew it couldn't be stolen; he has no magic, and Ginny and the others couldn't do it either...

So, he just made it look like he was stealing the sword. His goal was for Phineas to tell us.

The Gryffindor sword can be pulled out of the Sorting Hat, and he also put deadly poison on the Gryffindor sword...

This way, we can use the Gryffindor sword to destroy the Horcruxes!"

"But now, the Sorting Hat has been put into Gringotts for safekeeping. Is Darren asking us to rob Gringotts?"

Hermione said uneasily.

Harry fell silent.

He remembered when he first entered the wizarding world, Hagrid told him that Gringotts had the tightest security, and anyone trying to steal something was being irrational.
