"How do you know......" Professor McGonagall asked, stammering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Professor, we know...... Snee...... Someone is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so we have to talk to Professor Dumbledore. ”

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry with a mixture of consternation and suspicion.

"Professor Dumbledore will be back tomorrow. Professor McGonagall concluded, "I don't know how you found out about the Philosopher's Stone, but rest assured, no one can steal it, it's heavily guarded. ”

"But the professor ......"

"Potter, I know what I'm talking about. Professor McGonagall said impatiently, and then bent down to pick up the book that had been dropped, "You don't have to worry about this, I suggest you go outside and bask in the sun? ”

Al tugged at the corner of Harry's coat and motioned for him not to continue. Professor McGonagall was too old-fashioned and stern, and even a little more serious, so Al thought it would be better not to tell her something.

When Professor McGonagall left, the group gathered again.

"You really shouldn't have said that to Professor McGonagall just now. Hermione grumbled to Harry.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. Harry shrugged.

"It must be tonight!" said Al, "Snape must have figured out all the mechanisms and now tricked Dumbledore out of school with an owl, so he'll definitely do it tonight." ”

Ron gloated, "That's right, and I dare say the people from the Ministry of Magic will be shocked when they see Dumbledore appear." ”

"But what ...... can we," Hermione was halfway through her words when she suddenly took a sharp breath of cold air.

Al and the others turned around and saw Snape standing there.

"Good afternoon. Snape said in a slick tone.

Al didn't say anything good, just stared at him blankly.

"You shouldn't stay inside in such good weather. Snape's face twisted into a wry smile.

"We were ...... just now," Al spun his brain, trying to find an excuse.

"You need to be careful. Snape said, "Wandering around like you guys, people think you're trying to do something bad, Gryffindor can't afford to lose points, can they?"

Harry's face flushed, clearly remembering the great loss he had inflicted on Gryffindor.

They tried to turn and walk outside, but Snape called them back again.

"A word of caution, Potter. If you are messing around in the middle of the night, I will fire you personally, well, I wish you a pleasant day. ”

Snape gave a sneer, then strode in the direction of the teacher's lounge.

Al and the others walked out of the foyer and onto the stone steps outside.

"Did he hear our conversation?" asked Hermione.

"I don't know, I don't even know when he's standing there. Al shook his head, then added, "But that doesn't matter anymore, whether he hears it or not, I am afraid it won't change his actions tonight." ”

"Dumbledore has been tricked out, and he will definitely take more precautions when he returns, so Snape only has this chance, if he gives up, I'm afraid he will never get the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"Okay, so what should we do now?" asked Hermione, looking at Al.

Al pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Well, let's monitor his movements first, and when he crosses the trapdoor, we'll stop him." ”

Harry nodded, and he said, "That's it! One of us was in charge of keeping an eye on Snape, waiting outside the teacher's lounge, and if he came out, follow him. Hermione, you're better off doing this!"

"Why me?"

"Then you don't need to talk about it!" Ron said, "you can pretend to be waiting for Professor Flitwick. ”

Ron pretended to be a high-pitched female voice in his voice, and said, "Oh, Professor Flitwick, I'm so worried, I think I might have chosen the wrong ...... for question 14 B."

"Bah, shut up!" Hermione said, but she agreed to keep an eye on Snape.

"Since Hermione was going to follow Snape, we'd stay out of the hallway on the fourth floor. Al said to Harry and Ron, "If Hermione is discovered, we can continue to monitor the hallways and prevent Snape from sneaking in while we're not looking!"

Despite the plan, it was not executed successfully.

No sooner had Al and the others reached the no-go hallway on the fourth floor than Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared, and this time she couldn't help but lash out.

"I suppose you think you're better than a whole bunch of magic spells, right?" Professor McGonagall growled, "That's enough, stop messing around!

The few of them stumbled back to the common room, and before they could catch their breath, the portrait door suddenly opened, and Hermione walked in.

"I failed. Hermione said in disappointment, "Snape came out, and he asked me what I was doing there, and I said I was waiting for Professor Flitwick, and then Snape went to him, and I had to run away." ”

Al sighed and said, "Since this method has failed, we will have to go through the trapdoor. ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Al, and Al said with blazing eyes: "We must stop Snape, and we must not let him get the Philosopher's Stone and hand it over to Voldemort, so this time we will try to enter the trapdoor first and get the Philosopher's Stone in our hands, so that Snape can pounce!"

"Al is right!" Harry whispered, "Voldemort killed my parents and many innocent people, so we can't let him come back!"

"But it's too dangerous. Hermione said, "No one knows what's going to happen down there, and we're going to run into Snape's head-on!"

Al smiled confidently, he pointed at Harry and said, "Have you forgotten? ”

After dinner, they sat in the common room, waiting for the perfect moment.

Hermione was busy flipping through all her notes, hoping to stumble upon a spell they would be able to use later. Al, Harry, and Ron sat quietly in their chairs, no one speaking, all thinking about their own thoughts.

All the wands were ready, the Cloak of Invisibility was by Harry's side, and Harry even brought a flute that Hagrid had given him for Christmas to deal with the three-headed dog Louwee.

In short, they are ready to get up and go at any moment.
