Ancient alchemy involved the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing powers, the Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life so that those who drink it will never die.

Nicol Lemay and his wife have lived for more than 600 years thanks to the Philosopher's Stone, and the Philosopher's Stone's efficacy is beyond doubt. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Nicol Lemay felt that it was not safe enough to keep things in Gringotts, and then let Dumbledore take care of them on his behalf.

But there is a problem with this, and that is, is Dumbledore's side really safer than Gringotts?

There were many other questions that could not be explained, but Neville didn't think about it that much, he just felt that it wasn't that simple.

"Well, if you're going to hide something, why doesn't the headmaster put it on him?" Neville felt the need to ask his question, "Stealing from him must be more difficult than dealing with the dog." ”

"Who knows. Ron pouted, "I'm not Dumbledore. ”

The question could not be answered for the time being, so it was put aside, and the few daring students were now all thinking about how to stop Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone. Maybe it's better to catch him while he's stealing and get the stolen ones, so that you can get rid of that nasty guy and get praise and extra points.

However, the upcoming Quidditch match against Hufflepuff may be more noteworthy than this, as the referee for this match is Snape.

Harry wasn't happy at all, and Ron was relieved, "Take it easy, this time he's the referee, and it's impossible to cast a spell on you again." ”

"But Neville said he wasn't casting a spell on me last time. Harry said with a wry eye, "But I'm more worried about Snape getting us in trouble during the game. ”

"Then you need to move faster!"

Hermione's proposal was pretty much the same as what Captain Wood told Harry, and he pulled Harry aside before the game began.

"Not trying to put pressure on you, Potter, but we need to catch the Snitch today more than ever. We're going to get it done quickly and don't give Snape time to favor Hufflepuff too much!"

Harry could only smile wryly, if it wasn't pressure, then what was?

However, it seems that this is the only way.

So, fight!

Not everyone was as stressed as Harry was, and Neville was relieved that he hadn't been to the game at all, or Professor McGonagall had forbidden him to do so.

Neville wasn't stupid yet, and didn't ask why, since he couldn't go to the game, he stayed in the castle. After thinking for a while, if Gryffindor won today's game again, then Snape would definitely be deliberately looking for trouble in the Potions class the day after tomorrow, so Neville dug out the Potions textbook and previewed the content of the next lesson first.

Neville spent a lot more time in Potions than in other classes, which was something that couldn't be helped, and many people now knew that Snape disliked two students the most, Harry and him.

Neville knew why Snape didn't like him, after all, it was rare for a dozen teachers to ascend to heaven together.

However, Snape had been targeting Harry since the first lesson, and Neville couldn't figure it out.

If you don't understand, then you don't want to.

=========

From the beginning of the game, Harry circled around the arena like an eagle, trying to find the Golden Snitch. It's not easy, because the Golden Snitch is the size of a ping-pong ball and is extremely fast.

His efforts were not in vain, and Harry, who had spotted the Golden Snitch's trail, swooped downward.

Below Harry's diagonal angle, Snape awarded Hufflepuff another penalty and he activated his broomstick to get closer to some overseers, and it would be nice if he could find the Gryffindor's violations and give them some more trouble.

Suddenly, a golden thing "swished" past his ear, just inches away. Immediately afterward, a strong wind blew past him, and the hem of his robe was rolled up and covered his head, and it was pitch black before his eyes.

Just as Snape was annoyed, the surrounding stands were already boiling: this would be a new record, and no one could remember which game the Snitch was caught so quickly!

Harry stopped his dive, he raised his arms triumphantly, the snitch gripping tightly in his hands. He jumped from his broomstick a foot above the ground, his expression indistinguishable from that of the cheering students, for even he couldn't believe he had actually done it.

The game was over and lasted less than five minutes.

As the Gryffindors crowded into the arena, Harry saw Snape land next to him, his face pale and his lips pursed. Then Harry felt a hand on his shoulder, and he looked up to see Dumbledore's smiling face.

"Well done. Dumbledore's voice was so soft that only Harry could hear it, "I'm glad to see that you didn't think about the magic mirror all day...... Life is very fulfilling...... Great......"

Harry's mood was happier than ever, he had finally done something to be truly proud of, and no one would ever say that he had just a resounding name.

The night air had never been sweeter, and as he walked through the damp meadows, the scene of the hour before reappeared in his mind, vague fragments of happiness: Gryffindor students running over and putting him on their shoulders, Ron and Hermione jumping up and down in the distance, cheering.

It's just a bit of a pity that Neville was banned from watching the game and doesn't know when it will be lifted.

Suddenly, he saw Snape, wearing a hood, sneaking out of the castle and heading for the Forbidden Forest in the distance. After a moment's hesitation, Harry got on his broomstick and quietly followed......

================

Relative to winning Hufflepuff and surpassing Slytherin to become number one, Harry brought back the bad news - Snape coerced Quirrell to help him steal the Philosopher's Stone.

Based on what they knew about Quirrell, it was estimated that the Philosopher's Stone would be gone next Tuesday.

"Let's take this to the headmaster. ”

Neville spoke, and his friends were all silent, not knowing whether they were worried about the safety of the Philosopher's Stone, or if they felt that Neville's suggestion had left them conflicted and unable to answer for a while.

Everyone has their own ideas, and Neville is at odds with his friends on this issue.

As before, Harry and the others still demanded that Neville not tell Dumbledore about it, as it would be shocking, and they had no hard evidence.

"Okay, I see. Neville nodded, and he asked another question, his last effort, "How are you going to stop this?"

"We need to keep an eye on Snape, and if he's going to steal the Philosopher's Stone, we'll report Dumbledore immediately. ”

Sighing slightly, Neville felt the need to go see Hagrid once.
