His patience was reaching its limit, and I knew I couldn't stall and had to act as soon as possible.

Quirrell admonished himself in his heart.

Quirrell had long since secretly rehearsed his plans to invade Gringotts many times in preparation for the successful theft of the Philosopher's Stone.

On the last day of July, Quirrell got up early, dressed in his usual outfit, and went to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.

Every day, he would go to the Cauldron for a while to cover up his actions.

Quirrell tells Tom, the owner of the bar, that he came to Diagon Alley to buy a new book about vampires, and that he will buy a book about vampires later, so that no one else can associate the thief who broke into Gringotts to steal from him, otherwise he will have to hide from the Ministry of Magic and the goblins, whether he succeeds or not.

As soon as he had a drink, Quirrell noticed that the bustling bar had suddenly fallen silent. He followed the line of sight and saw Hagrid entering the bar with a thin boy, and casually introduced the boy to Tom.

This was the first time Quirrell had met the famous Harry Potter.

It is said that the Savior defeated the most powerful Dark Wizard when he was a baby, and no one knows how Harry Potter did it. However, to Quirrell, the savior didn't seem to be doing well, and he looked quite ...... Emaciated.

It was hard to imagine Dumbledore leaving the famous Harry Potter in the custody of Muggles, which seemed strange to Quirrell.

At Hagrid's introduction, Quirrell and Harry officially got to know each other, shaking hands and stammering a few words.

He played his role very well.

Quirrell knew that the Dark Lord might let him find an opportunity to kill the savior while he was teaching at Hogwarts.

It's so easy to murder a child who doesn't know anything, even the savior, the legendary Harry Potter, is now just an eleven-year-old boy who doesn't know anything, and he is so vulnerable to the dark arts.

After Harry Potter left, everyone was still talking about him, and Tom even generously offered to celebrate Harry Potter's return with a free drink for all the guests present.

Quirrell naturally joins in the celebration, and when the celebration is over, Quirrell makes an excuse to leave the bar and actually buys a new book related to vampires at the Blotted bookstore.

Then, he stumbles into a corner of a tourist shop called Horror Tours, pretending to come to talk to the owner about the Transylvanian vampire castle.

In fact, the owner of the shop had already been controlled by Quirrell's Imperius Curse. He's here to wait for someone, his roommate at Hogwarts, a nasty who often makes fun of him and plays tricks on him.

Quirrell prepares to use the polyjuice potion to disguise himself as his former roommate and enter Gringotts, but if the elves find any clues, they will only be considered unlucky.

Framing the other party, Quirrell was not pressured at all.

Quirrell wouldn't be stupid enough to enter Gringotts as himself, that would be too suspicious, and with the help of the Imperius Curse and Compound Elixir, it wasn't too difficult for Quirrell to invade Gringotts.

Half an hour later, his roommate finally arrived.

Quirrell took the key from the other party and drank the compound potion mixed with the other party's hair, disguised as the other party, and went to Gringotts to withdraw the money.

The goblins didn't even suspect him and led him into the underground cavern.

As soon as he entered the cavern, Quirrell made sure that there was no one around, and immediately used the Imperius Charm to control the elf who was leading the way.

As for the goblin he had controlled with the Imperius Curse, he was already waiting for him in another cart at the predetermined vault. Quirrell retrieved a large bag of Galleons from the vault and took another car to Vault 713, further down the cavern.

Everything went surprisingly well, and the elves quickly took him to Vault 713 deep in the cavern, and Quirrell couldn't understand why no one had succeeded in stealing from Gringotts before.

Could it be that the thieves are stupid?

He thought so.

I'm about to get the Philosopher's Stone and get the Dark Lord's reward.

As for how to get out of here, the biggest problem is that Gringotts can't apparilate, and he has several plans for leaving.

Even if he did get into trouble, he had already found a scapegoat.

An unlucky thief, Quirrell had chosen to confuse everyone's attention as much as possible.

If he gets into trouble leaving here, Quirrell will give the bag of Galleons to the thief and alter his memories to distract everyone.

That's right, he did it, and as for the proof, his wand is the proof, the one Quirrell is using now.

"Open the vault!" Quirrell ordered the goblins beside him.

Fortunately, under the Dark Lord's training, his attainments in the Imperius Curse are not low, otherwise it might be a bit of trouble.

The elf stretched out his long fingers and knocked lightly on the door,

Quirrell had long heard from the goblin that the precious vault under Gringotts, which did not require a key, was not allowed to be touched by anyone except the elf, otherwise he would be immediately sucked in by the door and would not be able to get out.

What does the Philosopher's Stone look like? He couldn't wait to get his hands on it.

However, as Quirrell focused his attention on the door in front of him, he was shocked to find that the elf's body had sunk into the door of the vault.

What's going on here?

Quirrell's brain froze completely, and a not-so-good premonition came over him, and he immediately thought of the reason: fairy magic!

That's right, to open this door, you need goblin magic, and goblin magic, only goblins can use it, so only goblins can open this door.

Damn it!

Originally, Quirrell wanted to quietly take the Philosopher's Stone, but now that's all he can do!

Luckily, he already had several plans.

Quirrell was annoyed, he knew that he had been tricked by the goblin trapped in the door, and even though he had used the Dementor Mind on him, there was still an accident.

A wisp of flame erupted from the tip of Quirrell's wand and landed on the door of the vault, and the flames began to burn on the metal door.

It's a fire spell.

A terrifying flame with a curse that can easily destroy almost anything.

The goblin trapped in the door was quickly burned to death, and the door of the vault was covered in flames, burning a hole directly.

Quirrell immediately chanted a spell to extinguish the flames, he didn't dare to let the flames spread, otherwise he might destroy the Philosopher's Stone in the vault at that time, and even worse, once the Flame Curse spread, even he couldn't control it.

The fairy's vault is nothing more than that.

Quirrell muttered, his gaze through the entrance to the vault, at the contents of the vault, and he was stunned.

The vault was empty, there was nothing.

The Philosopher's Stone is gone!

Could it be that the elf deceived himself, or was he a step too late, and the Philosopher's Stone had already been taken by Dumbledore?

Quirrell instantly fell into an ice cave, feeling cold in his hands and feet.

No, it can't be!

At this moment, Quirrell panicked, he couldn't bear the consequences of not being able to steal the Philosopher's Stone. He couldn't imagine how the Dark Lord would punish him, perhaps, he should run away, run away immediately, and go to Dumbledore for help?

Will Dumbledore help himself?

Quirrell suddenly felt that his thoughts were ridiculous!

Is this possible?

He had just been preparing to steal the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore had stored in Gringotts.

Quirrell quickly came to his senses, and he knew he had to get out of here at once.

The goblins must have known that someone had invaded Gringotts, and he had to leave immediately or he would be stopped by the goblins.

I hope that the retreat I have prepared will allow him to leave smoothly.

Quirrell looked at the other elf beside him, and quickly returned to the upper level in a small cart.
