Chapter 8: The Philosopher's Stone

At this time, Calvin was chatting with Professor Flitwick, the dean of Ravenclaw, in the auditorium, and the diminutive wizard almost fainted with excitement when he saw Calvin: "Calvin! ”

"Young genius wizard. Although you've only been at Hogwarts for one year, I've been blown away by your talent. I haven't seen a wizard as smart as you yet. ”

Professor Flitwick has a lot of feelings, treats the young wizards of each house equally, and has helped Calvin a lot, and Calvin has a good impression of him.

"Oh, Professor, it's great that we can meet again at Hogwarts." Calvin bowed his head and greeted Professor Flitwick.

"yes, Calvin, it's even better if you graduated from Hogwarts." Professor Flitwick waved his arms passionately.

Calvin smiled, "I've always thought of myself as a Hogwarts student. ”

"Dumbledore told you to meet him, from Beauxbatons." Snape's voice sounded faintly behind Calvin, not knowing when he had come.

"Senior, I suggest you smile more and don't let others mistake you for a dark wizard." Calvin turned his head to look at the gloomy Snape, leaned into his ear, and whispered, "I heard that Lily's son is coming to Hogwarts this year, so you don't plan to meet him like this." ”

"You," Snape raised his hand from his sleeve to point at Calvin, but he held it in one hand. "Senior, you don't want that immortal boy to know about you and his mother." Calvin's voice sounded like a demon's whisper to Snape.

"Either you shut yourself up, or I'll shut you up."

"Of course, you're my favorite senior." Calvin winked at Snape playfully, but Snape's lungs were about to explode, "Goodbye Professor Flitwick, we'll talk at dinner." ”

Calvin Capet, just a bastard, will go to Azkaban's bastard sooner or later! Snape thought as he looked at Calvin's back in the distance.

Soon Calvin came to the door of the principal's office, and the two stone beasts took the initiative to give way to the passage.

Calvin walked into the office, and as last time, Dumbledore was still working with his head down, and when he saw Calvin coming, he said, "Ah, Calvin, you're here, please take a seat." ”

"Professor, I thought you weren't at school." Calvin said lightly, "Professor McGonagall complained to me that you threw all the work at her. ”

"Professor McGonagall is a strict, conscientious, and responsible witch, and I'm relieved that she's running the school for me." Dumbledore was a little helpless, and a light wand and a cup of hot tea floated in front of Calvin.

"I'm afraid Professor McGonagall wouldn't think so." Calvin smiled and took a sip of his tea, "She doesn't even have time to see her favorite Quidditch." ”

"Well, I'll admit that I left most of the work to her." Dumbledore muttered, then said solemnly, "Calvin, I've just come back from Albania. ”

Calvin put down the teacup and restrained his flirtatious smile: "Did you go to find Voldemort?" Any clues? ”

Dumbledore shook his head, "No, I didn't find Voldemort in any of the locations you provided. ”

"No way," Calvin's brow furrowed, "I've encountered Voldemort many times in those forests. Didn't find it nearby? ”

"But I did find some traces of the existence of dark magic, and I think it was left by Lord Voldemort." Dumbledore said softly, "It's been at least half a year." ”

"Is it dead? No, it's not. Voldemort didn't die that easily. Calvin looked up and looked at Dumbledore in a slightly surprised look.

Dumbledore nodded slowly, "I think he's found a way to resurrect him." ”

"The way of resurrection, the way of resurrection. Oh my God, the Philosopher's Stone. Calvin thought for a moment and said to himself, "I have to tell the teacher quickly." ”

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that," Dumbledore's expression softened a little, "I've already met Nicolame back in July, and he gave me the Philosopher's Stone for safekeeping. ”

"Really, really? That's great. Calvin was relieved, after all, this was Dumbledore, "And where is it now?" Gringotts? ”

"At Hogwarts, in fact, Voldemort has set his sights on the Philosopher's Stone. In July, I was storing the Philosopher's Stone at Gringotts, and a black-robed wizard attacked Gringotts to steal it. ”

"Did the black-robed wizard catch it? Do you know who he is? Calvin thought of some possible answers, but he rejected them again.

"No, but I already have some guesses." With that, Dumbledore was silent for a moment, staring at Calvin with his blue eyes through the lenses.

Karl understood Dumbledore's intentions, but he didn't have to prove his innocence. After taking a sip of tea, he calmly asked, "Professor Dumbledore, you don't doubt me, do you?" ”

"I did think about it, but Nicola May assures me that you will never be seduced by Voldemort, and you will never degenerate into a dark wizard." Dumbledore withdrew his gaze and whispered, "More importantly, I believe in you too, Calvin Capet. ”

Calvin smiled and drank the tea in his cup: "Even without Nicol Lemay's guarantee, I will never succumb to Voldemort." ”

"Yes, if you wanted, you could have joined the Death Eaters more than ten years ago," Dumbledore smiled, "Calvin, since I have decided to hire you as a professor, I will absolutely believe you." It's something I've been able to do without magic for over a hundred years. ”

"Professor? Am I not a substitute teacher? ”

"I believe in you." Dumbledore waved his wand, the parchment and quill on the table jumped, and soon a beautiful letter of appointment appeared in front of Calvin's eyes.

"Your offer of appointment, Professor Capet."

Calvin calmly took the offer with both hands, "I'll do my duty, Headmaster Dumbledore." ”

"That's for the best." Dumbledore crossed his hands over his chest and looked at the young man kindly, "Oh yes, Calvin, would you like to do me a favor?" ”

"Of course, of course." Calvin agreed, "What do you need me to do?" ”

"Can you help me design a trap to protect the Philosopher's Stone?"

"It's easy." Calvin pulled out two rolls of white paper, a bottle of ink, and a few hair-made pens from his sleeve.

Dumbledore recognized that it was a brush used by wizards in the Far East to draw and write. But Dumbledore wondered how Calvin had put so many things down his sleeve.

Calvin noticed Dumbledore staring at his sleeve, so he took out two pairs of thick woolen socks from his sleeve and handed them to the old headmaster: "I was going to give them to you again for Christmas, but it may be too hot to wear now." ”

Dumbledore smiled and took the woollen socks, "It's okay, autumn in Scotland is also very cold, I'll be able to use them soon." Did you use a traceless stretching spell on your sleeve? No, not quite like that? ”

"Headmaster, might you guess?" Calvin wanted to put the centenarian to the test.
