Harry and Hermione's treasure hunt was not easy, as they jumped off the trapdoor panel and found a dark, damp space where the floor was overgrown with wet, moving vines that Harry and Hermione would get entangled in and pull into the abyss whenever they tried to move.

Fortunately, the clever Hermione thought of a way to crack the vines in time, these vines were afraid of light and heat, and she used light magic to disperse these vines, so that she and Harry could successfully leave this space.

Then they came to the front of a door, which was tightly locked.

Hermione tried her best spell, Arajo Cave, but it didn't work.

This time, however, it was Harry Potter's turn to do the trick, as he keenly found the key to the gate on the birds flying around, and although it was a difficult job to catch them, it was much easier to get the key from them than to catch the Golden Snitch in a Quidditch arena.

Opening the door with the key, Harry and Hermione made their way to the next room.

The room is furnished with a huge chessboard flanked by black and white chess pieces.

"What does that mean?" Harry asked blankly.

Hermione thought for a moment and whispered, "It may take us to complete this endgame and defeat the white pieces with black pieces before we can qualify for this room......"

Harry suddenly realized, and then looked at Hermione, "Hermione, are you good at chess?" ”

"So-so." Hermione was embarrassed to say that her chess skills were indeed not particularly good.

Harry let out a long sigh of frustration, "If only Ron were there, he's a chess master." ”

Unexpectedly, Ron's voice really appeared.

"Need my help?"

Harry and Hermione looked back in surprise to see Ron striding in the doorway.

"Ron! Is it really you? Harry said happily, "Didn't you go after Rosho?" Why is it coming back? ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I lost it, the Slytherin kid ran too fast." Ron said helplessly.

"Ron, how did you break through the vines in the black hole? Oh my God, you're not entangled......" Hermione said in disbelief.

"Vines? I left before they could get around me. Ron smiled and said, "What do we need to do now?" Is it to defeat the white chess piece in front of you? ”

"Yes, that's it." Hermione nodded, "Let's get started now." ”

"Okay." Ron nodded slightly, then stepped onto the black piece.

The three of them start playing against each other, with the goal of defeating the opposing white piece.

After a fierce fight, Harry and his friends had the upper hand.

"Next, I must be eaten by the White Queen before you can win!" Ron was adamant that he did a great job in the game, capturing a lot of white pieces.

"It's cruel." Hermione shook her head and said, "We can't let you be eaten. ”

"But that's the only way we can win quickly!" Ron exclaimed, "Harry, Hermione, you go and see if the Philosopher's Stone is still there, it's okay to sacrifice me alone, it's okay. ”

With that, Ron had already made his last move, and he came to the front of the White Queen, and resolutely chose to be eaten by the White Queen.

Rumble!

Ron was knocked to the ground, and he fainted on the spot - not fatally enough, but it was enough for him.

With Ron's help, Harry and Hermione won the game.

The door behind the chessboard opens, revealing a long and narrow corridor.

"I suppose at the end of this corridor is the secret room where the Philosopher's Stone is kept, right?" Harry whispered, "Looks like Rosho from Slytherin hasn't been in, it's safe here." ”

"Let's go, Harry, let's go see the Philosopher's Stone." Hermione whispered, walking side by side with Harry to the end of the hallway.

At the end of the hallway, there is a very narrow room, very simply furnished, with only a table, a chair, and a mirror.

"This is the secret room where the Philosopher's Stone is kept?" Hermione was a little surprised, "But where is the Philosopher's Stone?" ”

Harry was also confused, there was very little to be done here.

After looking around, Harry immediately recognized the mirror in the room - it was the Mirror of Eris, which Harry had seen before.

It is said that the Mirror of Eris is capable of reflecting the deepest desires of a person's heart, and Harry has personally verified this by seeing his parents in the mirror, and a complete family happens to be his most desperate desire.

"This is the Mirror of Eris, why is it here?" Harry whispered.

"I don't know, what does this mirror do?" Hermione asked curiously.

"It can illuminate a person's most pressing desires, Hermione, are you going to give it a try?" Harry said.

Hermione nodded slightly, then walked over to the mirror.

Through the Mirror of Eris, Hermione saw herself, but it was not Hermione now, but a slim girl.

In the mirror, Hermione is elegant, pretty, mature, dressed in elaborate gold-rimmed robes and wielding a well-crafted wand—she has become a glorious wizard who works for the Ministry of Magic.

"Hermione, what do you see?" Harry asked.

"I see what my future looks like." Hermione said happily, "It's my wish to be a good wizard. ”

But speaking of this, the clever Hermione suddenly wondered: "By the way, do you say that the Philosopher's Stone will be hidden in this mirror." ”

Just as Hermione said this, she suddenly stretched out her hand in the mirror, and there was indeed a sparkling gem in her hand!

"It's ...... Philosopher's Stone! Hermione, outside the mirror, couldn't help but reach out and take the magic stone from her own hand in the mirror.

"I got the Philosopher's Stone! I got the Philosopher's Stone! Hermione said excitedly.

Harry Potter was also surprised: "It turns out that Headmaster Dumbledore hid the Philosopher's Stone in the Mirror of Eris!" What a surprise! ”

"What are we going to do now? Do you want to put this Philosopher's Stone back again? Hermione asked blankly.

Harry was also tormented, he didn't expect that he would end up with this Philosopher's Stone.

And at that moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped up Hermione's body.

"Yikes!" Hermione was startled and quickly shook her body.

However, Harry was keenly aware that the black shadow was Ron's pet, a little mouse-spotted pet.

"Don't be afraid of Hermione, it's Spotted, Ron's little mouse."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and frowned, "That naughty little guy." ”

But before the words fell, Hermione only felt a pain in her wrist!

Spotted bit her hard, and Hermione lost the precious Philosopher's Stone in pain.

"Hmm! It hurts! ”

The nimble blob flew to grab the Philosopher's Stone and ran behind Hermione.

"Damn, Spotted, what are you doing?" Harry was shocked and hurriedly chased after Spotted, who never bitten anyone, let alone Ron's good friend Hermione.

But just as Harry turned, he saw something he couldn't accept - he saw Spotted run to the feet of a man and respectfully hand over the Philosopher's Stone, it was none other than Ron, who had been knocked to the ground by the White Queen!
