Walking along the rugged path of the Forbidden Forest, William holds the phoenix Fawkes in his arms.

He pressed his hands on Fawkes's body, and with his unique cat-petting technique, he tried to touch his bald skin so that he could collect the tail feathers.

Fawkes didn't notice William's sinister intentions, and enjoyed the high-class massage with his eyes closed, his face excited.

If it could speak, it would probably shout out loud by now: "Technician No. 7 praise, add bell!" ”

Dumbledore didn't notice that William was about to kidnap his phoenix, and he had a smile on his face:

"William, you did a very noble thing tonight."

Hearing the headmaster's words, William shook his head, "I just don't want to see them slaughtered. ”

Dumbledore praised: "It is already a noble act for a dark wizard to stand up in the face of danger. ”

"Actually, I have selfish intentions too." William laughed: "Newt told me that only by helping these high-IQ creatures can I have the opportunity to communicate with them on an equal footing, and even get what I want." ”

The mermaid incident taught William a very serious lesson.

Before that, William didn't treat these magical creatures as "humans", but they were indeed highly intelligent creatures.

If you had been able to communicate with the merfolk before, instead of snaring and cutting off the merfolk's hair with Cedric, it would not have been possible to be attacked on Christmas Day.

William was a very good thinker, and since he had made a mistake once, he would not make it a second time.

Centaur is a good change for him.

If he wants to get his hands on the precious herbs in the Forbidden Forest, he has to get along with the centaurs.

While Bane hates humans, Ronan and Ferenze don't, and even says that a significant portion of centaurs don't.

As Taizu said: If you make more friends, you will have fewer enemies.

This is a truth that never goes out of style.

Maybe one day Ferencze or Ronan will ascend to the throne and become the leader of the centaurs?

"yes, a lot of wizards don't realize that." Dumbledore snapped, "You're right, we do need to befriend those magical creatures.

We have too few helpers! ”

Dumbledore looked at the bright Mars and said sadly, "In the last wizarding war, there were many Death Eaters, and they also had giants, werewolves, and vampires as accomplices...... We were inexperienced at the time, and we were numerically disadvantaged, which led to many wizards being killed. ”

"If we had been able to unite all the forces that could have been united, it would have reduced a lot of unnecessary deaths."

Dumbledore's voice echoed through the Forbidden Forest.

"William, if you want to have a good relationship with the centaurs, it's not an easy thing to do.

The centaurs are stubborn, and I've always wanted to invite them to Hogwarts as divination teachers, but they don't want to leave the Forbidden Forest. ”

William raised his eyebrows, could it be that the headmaster also thinks that Professor Trelawney is very watery?

So, why did Dumbledore keep a liar for twelve years?

Dumbledore never did useless things, could it be that Trelawney was the hidden sweeping monk at Hogwarts?

William suddenly became interested in what everyone called a liar.

"By the way, Professor, I have one more question." William hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the wizard who appeared tonight the same wizard who attacked Gringotts?" ”

"It's him." Dumbledore replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Why did he kill the unicorn?"

"The blood of a unicorn can sustain life and restore strength, even if you are dying,

That man has long since lost most of his strength, and after fighting you at Gringotts, he has lost years of accumulated strength, and he needs the blood of a unicorn. ”

"But I remember the blood ...... unicorns"

"That's right." Dumbledore sighed, "Unicorns are pure, weak and helpless beings.

From the moment its blood touches your lips, you will have a half-dead life, a cursed life.

But what is a curse to Voldemort? He had already cast an even more terrible curse on himself. ”

William frowned, he also guessed that the man might be Voldemort, but he didn't expect the headmaster to tell him so plainly.

"So, it was Voldemort who controlled Quirrell to steal the Philosopher's Stone?"

"It's him." Dumbledore nodded, "He's been wandering around here since the summer. ”

"If it's been determined that Voldemort is playing tricks, why did you let Quirrell be at school?"

William had always thought that Dumbledore was fishing, wondering who was directing Quirrell.

But now it seems that this is not the case, the principal clearly confirmed the identity of the other party, and set up a checkpoint, which is not fishing at all, but ...... Play with fire.

Dumbledore sighed heavily this time.

"William, you should know that Voldemort attacked Harry as a baby.

He should have died there, but only lost most of his strength.

Voldemort had told the Death Eaters many times that he was farther on the road to eternal life than anyone else.

I have some speculation about Voldemort's methods, but there is no key evidence yet.

I need to see how he is doing further.

The most important thing is, William, I need someone to be fully prepared to fight him to the death.

It's a test and a grind! ”

William's brow furrowed, and he wanted to ask something, but Dumbledore raised his hand.

"I can't tell you yet, but one day, you'll know.

Wait until you grow up a little more...... I know you don't want to hear that...... When you should know, you will know. ”

William nodded.

"Hah, I think I heard Hagrid's voice, let's go find him." Dumbledore laughed, "I don't think he would mind making some pine nut tea to warm our stomachs." ”

……

……

While William and Dumbledore were finishing their conversation, a black-robed wizard had sneaked back to Hogwarts through the secret passages.

Quirrell didn't return to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, but walked towards the fourth floor of the restricted area.

Dumbledore was still in the Forbidden Forest, and Snape, who had been bothering him, had been knocked unconscious and hung on the southeast branch.

Now, no one can stop him from stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

Voldemort hadn't wanted to do it now, but tonight had turned out more than he had expected, and he suddenly realized that now was a good time.

After tonight, there may not be such a good opportunity.

Even if he fails, his backhand is ready.

At Voldemort's orders, Quirrell opened the door, and the three-headed dog Louwe looked at him with cross-eyed eyes and grinned teeth.

Quirrell trembled, it wasn't the first time he'd seen Louwe, but every time he saw it, he trembled all over.

"Fool, play the song."

At Christmas, Quirrell disguised himself as a strange wizard and went to Hagrid with a dragon egg, from whom he tricked him into his weakness.

Hagrid was drunk and said, "Only his singing can put Louwe to sleep, and anyone else can!"

So Quirrell believed.

And have Hagrid sing and record it with a crystal ball.

Quirrell pulled the crystal ball out of his pocket, and he trembled and placed it on the ground, and Hagrid's rough and unpleasant song came from inside.

"Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight, no matter the ends of the world or the cape, Hogwarts, our home ......"

"Hurry up and go to sleep!"

Quirrell looked at Louwe expectantly.

"Three, two, one...... Pour! ”

But soon, his smile froze.

Sleep, why doesn't this stupid dog sleep!
