Chapter XI

What is the purpose of this person?

He's been lurking at Hogwarts for so long, is it just to come and trouble him?

He wouldn't be here to steal the Philosopher's Stone, would he?

If that's the case, this person must be at this time-

"Carl, what kind of magic is that green light?" Hermione looked at the pit in the wall.

Carl didn't answer Hermione's question.

"I'm sorry Hermione, don't tell anyone about this yet, I have something to do, so let's go first. ”

He thought of one thing.

If you want to find that person, now might be your chance.

Thinking of this, Karl raised his hand to give a repair charm to the wall destroyed by the Killing Curse, turned and left.

......

On the eighth floor, the hallway leading to the principal's office was quiet.

Normally, it was rarely frequented, but now that Dumbledore is not at the school at all, there are even fewer people.

But at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the end of the hallway, and soon Karl appeared in front of the monster statue at the door of the headmaster's office.

No one?

Karl glanced around.

Or is it –

"Humanoid manifestation!"

Carl snapped.

In an instant, a white ripple spread out around his wand.

Soon, a figure appeared behind a pair of standing armor across from the headmaster's office.

"Come out!" Karl snapped, pointing at the figure.

To his surprise, it turned out to be a student, and he knew this person.

"Carl?"

"Jim Green. Karl whispered.

Carl didn't put down his wand, on the contrary, he was more vigilant.

"What are you doing here!"

He did see Jim leave the game early, but he never imagined to see him here.

Perhaps, what he saw was not himself at all.

"I'm coming to Professor Dumbledore?" said Jim, puzzled.

"It's a good reason to lie, Dumbledore didn't come back at all!"

"What are you talking about, Professor Carl Dumbledore is back at noon today?"

"It's noon today?" Karl frowned.

Wrong!

"Why use the Transfiguration Charm when you're here for Dumbledore!" Karl shouted.

The level of magic of the Illusion Charm is not something that any student can easily use.

Carl stared at Jim Green, all the powerful spells imaginable filled his brain in an instant, and the power of magic almost overflowed from his body.

As long as the person in front of him moves slightly, he will be greeted by a stormy attack.

"I-" Jim opened his mouth, as if trying to explain.

At this moment, the monster stone statue at the door of the Headmaster's office suddenly jumped to the side, and Dumbledore's figure appeared there.

"Jim, you go first. ”

"Then I'll go first, Professor. Jim nodded, smiled at Carl, and turned to leave.

"Come in, Carl. Dumbledore leaned sideways and let Carl up the spiral staircase.

A spiral staircase slowly ascended, carrying Carl and Dumbledore to the wooden door of the Headmaster's office.

Opening the door, the two walked in one after the other.

"You may be seated, Carl. ”

Dumbledore sat in the chair behind his desk.

Carl didn't give in, he found a random chair and sat down, he didn't know how many times he had been to Dumbledore's office.

As soon as he sat down, Dumbledore spoke, "Jim is not a student at the school, Carl, he is an Auror of the Ministry of Magic, and he has been sent to protect Harry. ”

And this kind of operation?

Carl was stunned for a moment, but this made sense, why an ordinary student could use the Phantom Charm, it turned out to be an undercover agent at all, and it was not mentioned in the book, but it didn't mean that it didn't exist.

It was quite similar before, and Carl couldn't help but think of how he and Jim Green had behaved when they met each other a few times.

Next, Karl chatted with Dumbledore for a few more words and got up to take his leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at the shelf behind Dumbledore, where a red gem was lying quietly on the third level of the shelf.

Philosopher's Stone.

......

Maybe he guessed wrong, the man didn't even think about stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

However, it always felt that something was wrong.

Carl emerged from Dumbledore's office and prepared to head to the library on the second floor.

Along the way, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

But he couldn't say what was wrong, he just intuitively felt that something was wrong.

Thinking like this, as soon as he reached the third floor, two people came up to him.

It was George and Fred.

The two of them looked anxious, and as soon as they met, they said, "Carl, where have you been, we are looking for you everywhere!"

Carl waved his hand helplessly at the two.

"You two spare me, I'm really not interested in that competition, don't embarrass me. ”

George and Fred looked at each other.

"Karl, don't you know?"

"What's wrong?" Karl wondered.

George changed his usual hippie smile and said heavily: "Something happened, a student was knocked unconscious, and now he is lying in the infirmary." ”

"Professor McGonagall told everyone to go to the Great Hall to find the murderer, and now it's up to you, and we managed to sneak out to find you. ”

"Who was knocked unconscious?"

Carl suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Jim Green. ”

My day!

Karl's heart thumped and he said hurriedly, "Let me ask you, did you see Dumbledore at noon?"

Fred wondered, "What stupid are you talking about, Dumbledore hasn't been in school since school started, didn't Professor McGonagall say it when school started?"

Cold sweat soaked his clothes again.

This is the first time.

Fake, what he saw just now wasn't Dumbledore at all!

Carl's heart was pounding and his adrenaline was pumping.

If what he saw just now wasn't Dumbledore, there was only one possibility, and what he saw just now was the same person from last semester!

Philosopher's Stone!

Looks like the man has got his hands on it!

Do you want to go to Dumbledore?

But who knows where the old man is now?

No, Carl thought about it.

What does it have to do with him whether the Philosopher's Stone is lost or not?

Then he gritted his teeth again.

That bastard, who came to steal the Philosopher's Stone, even disgusted him by the way, is he really easy to provoke?

Well, he's really easy to mess with, compared to this kind of big guy.

- That man was able to infiltrate Hogwarts twice, the first time, just using the Imperius Charm to control others to fight him, and he was embarrassed, this time overhearing his conversation with Voldemort.

He spoke to Voldemort in a parseltongue!

Thinking about it this way, this person must at least be at the same level as Voldemort.

It's not a loss to be disgusted by this kind of big guy, Carl has to comfort himself like this.

Wait, a light flashed in his head.

That person wouldn't be-

"Cooper!"

Someone called him, who is it?

Karl jerked his head up to see Snape's gloomy face right in front of him.

George and Fred were standing by, glaring at him.

It turned out that just now, they had already come to the outside of the auditorium.

George and Fred wanted to sneak into the auditorium with Karl through the small door, but they didn't expect to be blocked by Snape.

"Follow me!"

......

Damn it!

Following Snape, Karl was eager to give Snape a shot directly to Avada.

He was about to wonder who that man was, but Snape cut him off.

But he held back.

The man came for the Philosopher's Stone, but he wanted to disgust him.

It's a good thing, the Philosopher's Stone is gone, and he still doesn't know who that person is.

Damn, it's a big deal that next time he's making a magic stone himself to lure that guy in.

Why can't he do it!

- Carl was so angry that he didn't want to think about why he was hooked by the second Philosopher's Stone when he got the Philosopher's Stone.
