Lost the Philosopher's Stone?!

Dumbledore's words made Arthur, who had always remained calm and calm (miantan), unable to help twitching the corners of his mouth.

This incomparably valuable treasure was lost so easily?!

Arthur's first thought was that Dumbledore was cheating on him.

Under the bright lights around him, Arthur frowned, his pupils constricted, and carefully observed the micro-expressions on Dumbledore's old face.

He wanted to find a clue that he was lying.

And Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk, was also quietly observing Arthur.

I also want to see if the boy who killed Lockhart in front of me is still the one he first met.

The two looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere in the entire principal's room became quiet, dull, and weird......

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort supervises Quirrell on the spot, but fails to snatch the Philosopher's Stone.

Why is it that now, less than half a month after the start of school, the Philosopher's Stone has been stolen?

After Voldemort finished watching "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", he began to think about himself every day and became smarter?

"Why are you telling me this news? Do you want me to help you get it back? But it's expensive. Even if you're a principal, you're no exception. ”

Arthur gathered his thoughts and took a deep breath, with a slight embarrassment in his tone.

Where were the Philosopher's Stones stolen and by whom? Voldemort came in person? Or Hogwarts still has an inner ghost/

Arthur wasn't too interested in understanding these questions, he thought about it for a while, and finally felt that Dumbledore told him the bad news, and he should want to use his ability to help him get it back.

After all... If the Philosopher's Stone had been stolen by Voldemort, Dumbledore would have had a headache.

“......”

When Dumbledore heard Arthur's words, he almost choked on his saliva, and he wanted to roll his eyes at Arthur, but because of his status as the headmaster, he held back.

In order to hide his messy heart, he put his hands on his beard.

Originally, he wanted to test Arthur's reaction, but this kid actually wanted to make money from him.

Dumbledore had been at Hogwarts for more than eighty years, and he had seen many money-loving students, but none of them were as money-loving as Arthur.

"Arthur, you don't need that ability."

Dumbledore sat up straight, stroked his beard slowly, and continued.

"Telling you this news, I just want to say that this kidnapping incident against you is just a plan by the other party to divert the tiger from the mountain."

"They've got the Philosopher's Stone, so they won't bother you anymore. You can rest easy. ”

"Well, I see..."

Disappointing that there was no opportunity to make money, Arthur nodded silently, and after a moment, continued.

"I killed Gilderoy Lockhart, you won't be disappointed in me, will you?"

This happened in the Forbidden Forest, and it was impossible to hide it from Dumbledore. Anyway, a powerful wizard is skilled in the kind of magic that can make the scene reappear.

As long as Dumbledore went there, he would see how Arthur killed Lockhart.

Never underestimate anyone, even if he seems obscure, ordinary can't be ordinary anymore - by: Father Hughes.

Arthur remembered every word of Father Hughes, and since he could not hide it, he generously admitted it.

Lockhart was a Death Eater who wanted to kill him, and he was not as skilled as a human being and was counter-killed, that was his problem.

For whatever reason, Arthur didn't think he had done anything wrong.

"Sure enough, he agreed to me and become a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, not just because I had his handle in my hands."

Hearing Arthur admit that he had killed Gilderoy Lockhart, Dumbledore's pupils shrank and then he sighed.

"Next time, if you can, try not to kill anyone. You're only eleven and a half years old, and if it's exposed, it will affect the sales of your novels, and you'll lose a lot of gold gallons. ”

Scold? Warn?

Dumbledore didn't think it would do much for the precocious Arthur, and that if the scale wasn't right, it would probably backfire.

It's better to use what he values most to persuade him.

"Hmm... That's the truth. I'll keep an eye out for it later. ”

Dumbledore's words shocked Arthur's heart. It feels like he has a lot of point. Arthur, whose current image in the wizarding world is a genius children's fiction writer.

If the majority of ordinary wizards know that he has killed people, they will definitely think wildly, such as whether his novels will have bad ideas, misanthropy, negative energy, instigation of murder, and so on.

Such writers write novels that are hardly loved by parents, who will not buy murderer novels for their children.

In the wizarding world, although the population base is small, mosquitoes are small and meat.

To make money, there is no such thing as making less money.

"Okay, you can go back. The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is gone, and I have to find someone to replace me, it's a real headache! ”

Seeing that Arthur was touched by his own words, Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.

"Good night, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Arthur bowed goodbye and left the principal's office down the spiral staircase.

Dumbledore looked in the direction Arthur had left, tapping his wrinkled fingers lightly on the table.

The sound of the thump made the sleeping phoenix very dissatisfied, and it flapped its wings, jumped in front of Dumbledore's hand, and pecked the back of Dumbledore's hand a few times with its sharp beak.

"Sorry to bother you."

Dumbledore hurriedly withdrew his hand, chuckling apologetically. He then raised his arm and pulled out a pink hedron from the phoenix's lair.

He stared at the philosopher's stone in his hand with a heavy expression, and his thumb gently stroked the water chestnut on the hedrome.

At this moment, there was the sound of slow footsteps on the side of the spiral staircase.

Dumbledore looked up and saw that a gloomy Snape had returned, so he put the Philosopher's Stone back into the phoenix's lair and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Severus."

Snape didn't speak first, glancing at the Philosopher's Stone that Fawkes had crushed under its lair. Then he came to Dumbledore and placed the broken wand on his desk.

"When Pendragon killed Lockhart, he didn't react like a child at all. He's really dangerous. ”

Hoarse, slightly toned voice, uttered from Snape's incompletely open mouth.

After he had gone to the Eight-Eyed Spider's lair to destroy the Death Eater's corpse, he had followed the trail to find the place where Arthur had killed Lockhart.

Once there, Snape magically recreated Arthur's killing of Lockhart, seeing Arthur's decisive and neat movements, and Lockhart's calm face after his death.

Snape had the illusion that Arthur wasn't Arthur, but the Dark Lord.

Without much discipline, Arthur could well become the next generation of the Dark Lord.

"It's very dangerous, so you need to be taught well. It's just a pity that Hogwarts lost a Dark Arts professor tonight..."

Dumbledore sighed, a little worried about Arthur's killing of Lockhart.

'Headache, it's like eating a weird bean with a booger smell just now, it makes me uncomfortable..."
