Standing alone in the room, Dumbledore opened the trapdoor panel and raised his wand, which ejected a slightly flickering fireball from the tip of the wand and fell downwards.

Soon, the firelight illuminated the bottom, and the old man narrowed his eyes, and he realized that it was not only Hagrid's Luwei that had been lost, but also the devil's net that had been lost.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, but Dumbledore didn't turn around, and said softly, "Professor McGonagall, did you send Potter and Weasley back to the Gryffindor common room?" ”

"Yes, they both pleaded with me all the way not to deduct points from Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall, who arrived at the forbidden area, was very angry and said, "Since you are so afraid of deducting points, why do you want to go out for a night tour?!" ”

Dumbledore closed the trapdoor panel, and he explained, "Actually, it was Malfoy who invited Potter out to duel tonight. ”

Hearing that Harry and Ron weren't out on a night tour to wreak havoc on the prize showroom soothed Professor McGonagall's anger a little.

"But Miss Granger warned Potter and Weasley that it was a hoax, but they didn't believe it." Dumbledore added.

Professor McGonagall's blood pressure rose again, and she pursed her lips and said:

"It's even more unforgivable, stupidity and stubbornness are not synonymous with Gryffindor!"

"You didn't even dare look Professor Snape in the eyes when he first found me, the teasing look on his face." Professor McGonagall was annoyed:

"The last time I was so humiliating was last semester when Gryffindor Quidditch lost to Slytherin, and I didn't dare say hello to Snape for a few weeks......"

When Dumbledore heard this, he tugged at the corners of his mouth and said helplessly: "Professor Snape's frankness does make people blush sometimes, and I have reminded him many times. ”

"Frank?!" Professor McGonagall seemed to hear the unbelievable descriptor, and she snorted, "Professor Dumbledore, did anyone tell you?" ”

"What?"

"You have a trait that you can always describe other people's shortcomings as ...... Merit. ”

"Oh, is it? Strangely, this is the first time I've heard a review. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, as if surprised, "Minerva, I'm all about complimenting me." ”

"Then I must have misworded it and misunderstood you." McGonagall curled the corners of her mouth and said, "I apologize to you." ”

"It's okay." Dumbledore smiled mildly, "Minerva, I didn't expect you to be as frank as Professor Snape. ”

“……”

The old man smiled and said, "You don't have to be too harsh on Harry and Ron, it's normal for young people to make mistakes, they are impulsive and ignorant, communicate with them more, don't let the students be too afraid of you." ”

"Fear? Why should they fear me? Professor McGonagall was a little surprised, and she frowned habitually, "I've always been kind. ”

Dumbledore glanced at Professor McGonagall.

She blushed a little and whispered, "Most of the time."

Professor McGonagall took the initiative to change the subject, she looked around and said, "What about Hagrid's three-headed dog, is it called Luffy?" ”

"Lou Wei." Professor Dumbledore blinked, and said succinctly, "Lost, taken away." ”

"Ah, lost?" Professor McGonagall was speechless in astonishment, her glasses glinting with shock, and she said in disbelief:

"That three-headed dog is not so easy for me to deal with, how can I lose it silently like this?"

There was not even a trace of a fight in the room, and it was easy to take away the ferocious three-headed vicious dog...... What kind of strength does this have to be?!

"Is that the wizard you've been wary of lately?!" She guessed.

"No, Professor McGonagall, it's a little wizard, a first-year student." Dumbledore shook his head and said softly, "The portraits of the castle told me." ”

"The only question is, how did they take Lowe without a sound?"

Dumbledore took a few slow steps forward, squinting his eyes and leaning over to examine the ground, where he saw a few solidified drops in the doorway.

The mark was barely visible, even the color was dim and the ground was the same, he stretched out his fingertips to touch the solidified powder, sniffed it, and said instantly, "I think I already know." ”

"What?"

"Shrinking potions are an effective and clever way to deal with large magical beasts." Dumbledore exclaimed.

"It can't be Scamander's doing, right?" Professor McGonagall thought about it and locked on the suspect.

"Why do you think it's him?"

"A first-year wizard, and a cat ...... Ahem: Animals have a special hobby! Professor McGonagall held back for a long time and said, "As far as I've observed recently, Scamander has always been very bold!! ”

"In fact, it's not just Rove, but three other students who are going on a night tour with him tonight." Dumbledore said.

"There won't be Swinton and Miss Granger, right?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "They're always together. ”

"And Mr. Longbottom." Dumbledore added.

After receiving the confirmation, Professor McGonagall's face changed and changed, as if the cabbage she had worked so hard to grow was about to be arched by the Tebo warthog in the Forbidden Forest.

"Shirley and Hermione were both my favorite students, Hermione was a lot like me when I was younger, Shirley had a great talent for Transfiguration......"

"Same as Tonks?" Dumbledore narrowed.

"But more attentive than Tonks!" Professor McGonagall said with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, Rove won't take a few of them badly, good students can always promote each other and work in a better direction." Dumbledore seemed to have confidence in the boy, and he said softly:

"Of course, I'll also remind Rove that by the way, Lou Wei will come back, and he will continue to guard this place."

Speaking of the three-headed dog Luwe, Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment and then persuaded:

"Professor Dumbledore, even a first-year wizard can easily solve Loewe, and the other levels are not too difficult, isn't it too hasty to put the Philosopher's Stone underneath?"

"Minerva, I appreciate you using the word 'sloppy.'" Dumbledore laughed, "I thought you would be as frank as Professor Snape and call me a fool." ”

"You're certainly not stupid, you're the greatest wizard in the world." Professor McGonagall was a little excited:

"Everything you do must have its own meaning, and I want to believe you as much as I believe that the sun will rise in the east."

"And there are a group of wizards who trust you as much as I do."

Dumbledore seemed to be very moved, he turned his back, gently wiped his eyes behind the lenses with a lace handkerchief, and said softly:

"I just hope I don't let down that trust."
