Faced with Ivan, who can move himself, Ron doesn't know what to say...

Harry also wanted to complain about what was so touching about it, but seeing Ivan's sincere expression, the words that came to his lips were swallowed hard.

At this moment, an old and calm voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

"There's no shame in facing up to the pain... Hals...."

This is Dumbledore's voice, Ivan heard it instantly, and the next second the Occlumency Technique was fully powered, and at the same time, it cost 100 academic grade points to activate the Xueba experience card mode, which barely gave him a sense of security and looked behind him.

At the door of the Headmaster's Office, the white-haired and long-bearded Dumbledore had stood there quietly for some time.

"Professor," Harry said, surprised, and then felt a little apprehensive that they had used the mirror without their consent.

Dumbledore didn't look at them, but looked at the Mirror of Eris, and Ivan couldn't see any clues in the reflection of Dumbledore's eyes, only that he looked at it for a moment before he came to his senses.

Dumbledore stepped forward and stroked Harry's head with his hand, then looked at Ivan.

"Hals is right, this is the Mirror of Eris, which allows us to see the deepest and strongest desires of our hearts. In the past, many people have been lost in these false illusions, and they have spent their time in vain, even obsessed with them, because they do not know if what is in the mirror is real and if it is possible..."

"I don't want you to be like them." Dumbledore added.

"Hals, would you mind telling me what you see in the mirror?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

Ivan hesitated for a moment, thinking about what excuse to fool the past, but finally groaned for a while and told the truth.

"Family."

"yes, I should have thought of that," Dumbledore muttered in a low voice, seemingly moved.

"Professor, what do you see in the Mirror of Eris?" Ivan didn't dare to make Dumbledore think for too long, so he quickly asked.

"I saw myself holding a pair of thick woolen socks." Dumbledore said.

"Socks are never enough to wear.." Dumbledore continued. "I thought I would be able to get a few pairs at Christmas, but unfortunately they didn't, and they insisted on sending me books."

Ivan pursed his lips, although he understood that Dumbledore was using woolen stockings as a metaphor for family affection, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Who said you want to face your pain head-on?

Professor, what about your discipline?

After delaying this meeting, Harry also woke up from the excitement and reluctance to see his parents in the magic mirror, remembered what he had come to do, and interrupted anxiously.

"Professor, we're here to report to you, a few days ago a mysterious man in black robes got a way through Norway from Hagrid, and it's likely that he wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone you put below through the trapdoor...."

Harry finished speaking in one breath, and felt that saying this was not enough to be believed, so he told him about the broomstick being controlled during the Quidditch match and the injury to Snape's calf after Halloween.

Ron and Hermione are also adding details... It's just that it's just a momentary urgency, and it's inevitable that there will be some confusion.

"Don't worry, you can sit down and talk slowly." As if he already knew, Dumbledore was not surprised in the slightest, and waved his wand to transform into four chairs and beckoned them to sit down.

Harry and the others nodded, and only after a few people had sat down did Dumbledore ask.

"Can you tell me where you got the Philosopher's Stone?"

Isn't it just the clue you left yourself? Ivan complained in his heart, but Harry and the others said something that shouldn't have been said, and they were the first to say it before they could speak.

"We learned from Hagrid that the thing hidden under the trapdoor was related to a man named Nicol Lemay, and we found out that he was the maker of the Philosopher's Stone."

"And who do you think would do such a thing?" Dumbledore nodded, agreeing with Ivan's explanation.

"We suspect it's Snape! Or maybe Professor Chino—" Harry said hurriedly.

Dumbledore didn't reply this time, but fell into a long period of deep thought.

"Professor, don't you believe us?" Ron asked eagerly.

"No, of course I believe you." Dumbledore caressed Ron and the others, and then said in a deep voice, "But I also trust the professors in the school, they won't do such a thing." ”

Harry opened his mouth to retort, but Dumbledore waved his hand.

"It's not just the three-headed dog Norway who guards the Philosopher's Stone, every professor has a protective measure under it, including Snape and Chino..."

"So the Philosopher's Stone is safe down there." Dumbledore added.

"Then if there are no enemies, why did you bring the Philosopher's Stone to the school and put so many guards there?" Ivan easily found the loophole in Dumbledore's words and asked out loud.

Now that he had found an opportunity to report Chino, Ivan was of course madly suggesting that Dumbledore should hurry up and deal with this potential threat.

Wouldn't it hurt to teach an enemy who is still connected to the Dark Lord to these young wizards who have just entered the school?

Ivan complained in his heart, but he didn't forget to run the Occlumency technique at full speed, creating some reasonable false memories outside.

Because during the previous question, Ivan was keenly aware that Dumbledore had used Soul Fetching three times, the time when Harry told the story, mentioned the Philosopher's Stone, and asked who they suspected.

Of course, the fluctuations in the memories of the three probing inspections did not last long, and it should only be to confirm whether they were lying, or if there was something to hide.

Thanks to the experience card mode, which has an extraordinary bonus to Occlumency, and Dumbledore did not use all his strength, Ivan successfully hid his true thoughts.

"That's because I got the news by chance that there is a very dangerous person who is going to hit the Philosopher's Stone, but it is not Snape as you say, and it is not Chino." Dumbledore gave Ivan an appreciative look, and without further explanation, he got up and looked at the Mirror of Eris.

"Anyway, thank you for the reminder, I'll let the other professors pay more attention, you guys go back first... I'm going to put this mirror somewhere else now. If you find anything else wrong, you're welcome to tell me again. ”

"Okay, Professor, let's go..."After confirming that Dumbledore didn't plan to dispose of Chino now, Ivan just wanted to leave quickly, he didn't want to stay in Dumbledore's presence for even a second longer.

Harry opened his mouth, there were still many questions to ask and many things to say, but in the end he left the headmaster's room with the others.

Just as the four of them had left the Headmaster's room, Dumbledore stood in front of the Mirror of Eris and pondered for a long time before suddenly speaking up.

"Severus... What do you think? ”
