Hogwarts Castle, inside the Headmaster's office.

Rosie glanced at Grace, who was sitting quietly on the couch next to him, and then turned his gaze to Dumbledore and Snape, who were sitting on either side of the desk.

At this time, the dim-winged phoenix Fawkes was standing on a perch behind the door dozing, and the portraits of the previous headmasters, as if sensing the unusual atmosphere, all looked at the four people in the room with wide eyes.

Harry, they were visiting Hagrid in the school infirmary, and McGonagall was waiting for the Ministry of Magic to send someone to take Quirrell away. Now that we're the only ones left, we can have a good talk, right? Headmaster. ”

Snape could see that he was trying to keep his tone as calm as possible.

Dumbledore gently rested his right arm on the table and supported his chin with his thumb and forefinger, "So, where do we start?" ”

"The traps you asked us to set up weren't meant to trap the Dark Lord at all, were they?"

"Not exactly."

Sapphire eyes sparkled, and Dumbledore's left hand on the desk played with a small and delicate silver ornament, "When I saw the scar on Harry's forehead, I guessed it might be a sign of some kind of connection between Harry and Voldemort. ”

Hearing this, Snape silently pulled up his left sleeve, only to see a faint skeletal mark imprinted on his left arm.

"Not the Dark Mark of the Dark Devil, Severus." Dumbledore shook his head, "I kept guessing what it was until Miss Rossi showed up. ”

"Until I show up?" Rosie was stunned, and asked with suspicion in her voice, "You mean, I mentioned Voldemort and Horcruxes?" ”

"Not bad." Dumbledore bowed slightly, "I've been thinking about a few things since I learned about Horcruxes, especially when I learned that Voldemort had made multiple Horcruxes......"

He didn't elaborate on what he was thinking about, but pondered for a few seconds before changing the subject:

"Although Harry's mother gave him a lasting protection with her life, I had to be sure that his mind was not controlled by Voldemort."

"So you set up the trap to confront Harry head-on?"

Snape stood up from his chair, his whole body trembling slightly, "You're not worried about Harry being killed by him?" ”

"As long as Harry calls his mother's blood relatives home, Voldemort can't touch or hurt him."

Snape was obviously unconvinced by Dumbledore's words: "Can't touch or hurt? But didn't the Dark Lord still want to possess Harry and snatch his body? ”

"It was an accident, Severus. You should understand that no matter how well you plan in advance, there will always be a little change when it happens. ”

Dumbledore tilted his head slightly, "Voldemort was able to get the Philosopher's Stone, which was an omission in my plan, and it was also the reason why he was able to temporarily break through Lily's magic. But luckily, I was back by then. ”

Hearing this, Snape propped his hands on his desk and opened his mouth to say something, but eventually held back when he was about to speak.

Seeing that Snape stood there without speaking for a long time, Rosie, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but ask:

"Professor Dumbledore, so everything that happened was actually in your plan, including when Voldemort appeared?"

In fact, what she wanted to know most was whether Dumbledore was using the Book of Destiny to control all this.

"That's not it, I just set up the rod and put the bait and wait quietly for Voldemort to take the bait, as for whether and when he will come, it's impossible to be sure."

After a pause, he added, "But when Grice had an accident, I knew he couldn't wait to do it." ”

Well, it sounds reasonable.

Muttering silently, Rosie turned to ask, "By the way, what about Percy?" And Voldemort's Horcrux, did you destroy it? ”

"Percy's Imperius curse has been lifted by me, he has only been controlled for a long time, his spirit is a little tired, nothing else is serious, when I bring him back, let him go back to rest.

As for Voldemort's Horcruxes...... Since he had made multiple Horcruxes, it would be far more meaningful for this Horcrux to be destroyed at a more important time than to destroy it now. ”

More important timing? Could it be that it was the time to fight Voldemort?

Looking at Dumbledore, who was smiling at him, Rosidon felt that he had guessed correctly.

……

When Quirrell was taken away by the Ministry of Magic, a message came that Mission Six had been completed.

However, looking at the display that is still displayed at the end of mission 6 (currently captured: 2, minimum number of captures: 2), Rossi knows that this mission must be that the more criminals are captured, the greater the reward.

Unfortunately, Lucius was too treacherous, not only did he flee with his wife at that time, but even the conversation that provided Rosie with clues was actually ambiguous, making it impossible for the Ministry of Magic to arrest him for this.

For the next period of time, it seemed that the days were back to normal.

Over time, Rosie's Defence Against the Dark Arts class became the most popular and serious subject for all students in the school.

The day before Christmas, when Rossi woke up from a sound night's sleep, a thick layer of frost and snow had accumulated outside the window, and the black lake in the distance was even more frozen.

However, although the weather is cold, for children, the joy of the festival can withstand everything.

Of course, it's not just children, and the lively holiday atmosphere is very infectious.

So as Rossi sat at the long table in the auditorium, facing all kinds of food, listening to the frolicking of the students, he couldn't help but smile happily on his face.

Just then, a flock of owls flew from outside the auditorium, and one of them flew straight to Rossi's side and dropped a letter.

"Ms. Rossi,

I apologize for the presumptuousness to write to you.

In the newspapers this morning, I read a message from the Ministry of Magic that the wanted Quirinus Quirrell has been captured at Hogwarts.

For those of us who know some inside information, these few words contain too much information.

What's going on? Has anyone at Hogwarts been hurt by this, and is there anything wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with Harry? Did the mystery man get caught?

Forgive me for taking the liberty of writing to ask you these lingering questions.

In addition, Blake said that he had recently stumbled upon a Death Eater who had already died in Azkaban in London, and he was sure he was not mistaken. Well...... I don't know what happened to the mysterious man in the end, so I don't know if this news is still useful, so it's up to you to decide.

Finally, Merry Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas!

Your faithful friend: Remus John Lupin. ”

After Rosie finished reading the contents of the letter, the system's prompt sounded:

"Clue: Azkaban's fugitives. Meet with Lupin and Blake to confirm the identity of the fleeing Death Eaters......"
