Chapter 68: Crazy Decisions

"Well, it doesn't hurt to talk to you. Let me think about it - he borrowed Louwi from me. Then I asked a few other teachers to cast a spell... Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and Calvin. ”

Hagrid gestured with his hand, "Professor Quirrell." Of course, Dumbledore did magic himself. Wait a minute, I've forgotten about one person. Oh, yes, it's Professor Snape. ”

"Snape?" Harry exclaimed.

"yes, are you still suspicious of him, huh? Lo and behold, Snape had helped protect the Philosopher's Stone, and he wouldn't steal it. Hagrid said with a grin.

Harry knew that Ron and Hermione were thinking the same way he was. A chill ran down his spine and went straight to his brain

Now that Snape was involved in protecting the Philosopher's Stone, it must have been easy for him to figure out what the other teachers had set up for him.

If so, then Harry probably won't have much of an advantage over Snape. Snape probably knew everything—except for Quirrell's magic and how to get through Loewe.

"You're the only one who knows how to get through Loe, don't you, Hagrid?" Harry asked eagerly, "You're not going to tell anyone, are you?" Even the teacher doesn't tell, does he? ”

Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid looked at Harry like fools.

"Oh my gosh." Harry muttered, "The smuggler." ”

"Alright, kids, don't worry." Hagrid reassured, "Even if someone knew how to pass through Lowe, he wouldn't be able to get the Philosopher's Stone. And Professor Capet, who assured me. ”

Harry and the others quickly left Hagrid's hut, and Harry was depressed, feeling that the Philosopher's Stone was in danger.

"Don't worry, Harry." Ron said, "Hagrid said that Professor Capet promised that no one would get the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"But Snape," said Harry, after a pause, lowered his voice, "but both Snape and Professor Capet were former Slytherin students. It's not that I don't believe Professor Capet, I mean what if, what if, what if, if Snape cheats Professor Cape. ”

Harry and the others walked to the castle gate, and were about to enter, when they suddenly heard someone behind the door sobbing and crying.

The three of them looked at each other, tiptoed a few steps closer, and leaned on the door, vaguely hearing Quirrell's voice.

"No, no... I can't do it anymore, please..."

It seemed that someone was threatening Professor Quirrell, but the door was too thick, and the man's voice was too soft to tell who it was, let alone hear him.

"Okay, okay. This is the last time. Harry heard Quirrell sobbing.

The three of them waited until Quirrell's voice and footsteps were completely gone, and then pushed open the gate and entered the castle.

"It must have been Snape just now." Ron said firmly.

"He's finally got his hands on it," Hermione paled, "that smuggler must have been pretended by Snape, he's a Potions master, and it's easy to pretend to be a person." ”

"Then what are we going to do, Harry!" Ron's eyes sparkled with a desire for adventure.

"Go find Dumbledore first. We should have done this a long time ago. If we can't go it alone, we'll be expelled from school. Hermione answered Ron before Harry.

"But we don't have proof!" Harry said, "Even Professor Capet doesn't believe us. They think it's our prejudice against Snape! ”

"Try again, Harry." Hermione demanded forcefully.

Harry had no choice but to go to Calvin's office again with Ron Hermione and knock on the door, but no one opened it.

"Let's go, Harry." Ron pointed to a note on the door, "Professor Capet isn't here today. ”

Harry was deflated and had to go to see Professor Dumbledore.

They then discovered that none of them knew where Dumbledore's office was.

They could only roam the castle like headless flies, and this strange behavior was eventually stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"You three have been wandering around the castle all afternoon, what are you doing?"

Professor McGonagall walked up to them with a stack of books in her arms.

"We want to see Professor Dumbledore." Hermione said. Harry and Ron thought she was very brave.

"Want to see Professor Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall repeated, as if it was very suspicious that they had such thoughts. "Why?"

Harry swallowed - what so?

"It's a secret." As soon as he spoke, he wished he hadn't said it, for Professor McGonagall was angry, and her nose fluttered.

"Professor Dumbledore isn't here today," she said coldly, "he's gone with Professor Capet to inspect the Fantastic Beasts Sanctuary and won't be back until tomorrow." ”

"He's gone?" Harry said anxiously, "At this time? ”

"Professor Dumbledore has always been busy, and his time is precious."

"But it's very important."

"Is what you're going to say more important than the teaching of the students, Harry?"

That's right," said Harry, throwing his caution out of the clouds, "Professor—it's about the Philosopher's Stone—"

Professor McGonagall hadn't expected this to be the case anyway. The book in her arms fell to the floor with a thud, and she didn't pick it up.

"How do you know?" She stammered.

"Professor, I think... I know, Sinner... Someone tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone. I must speak to Professor Dumbledore. ”

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

"Professor Dumbledore will be back tomorrow." She finally said, "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, and it's safe. ”

"But the Professor..."

"Mr. Potter, I know what I'm talking about." Professor McGonagall said impatiently, then bent down to pick up the book that had fallen to the floor. "I suggest you go back and read the books, it's going to be class tomorrow."

But they didn't.

"Tonight," Harry said quickly, making sure Professor McGonagall was too far away to hear, "Snape is going through the trapdoor tonight." Neither Professor Capet nor Professor Dumbledore was there, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"But what can we do?" Hermione ran out of ideas.

"There's only one way left, right?" Harry said. Both Hermione and Ron stared at him, only to see that his face was pale and his eyes were shining. "I'll sneak out of here tonight and get the Philosopher's Stone before Snape."

"You're crazy!" "It's too dangerous to do that," Ron said. ”

Ron looked at Hermione, hoping she could stop Harry's madness too.

As a result, Hermione whispered, "You're right, Harry. With the cloak of invisibility, I will go with you. ”

Ron stared at Hermione with round eyes, and after a moment he said angrily, "Okay, don't leave me, who made you my friends." ”
