After seeing Hagrid's dragon, everyone returned to the castle, and then they had to return to their boring study life, especially Harry, whose shadow of Snape still loomed over him firmly, which made Harry feel sad because of the little dragon. And the slightly better mood worsened.

After Snape's Potions class was over, Harry received a note.

【Please go to the principal's office after class】

It was the first time for Harry to go to the principal's office, and he entered the principal's office after passing through the two stone beasts behind the door.

Various metal objects were placed on the table, spinning and shooting out layers of water mist amidst bursts of clear sounds.

Behind the desk was a cage hung against the wall, and inside it was a golden-red bird that looked divine and majestic.

Dumbledore smiled and watched Harry look at the headmaster's room. He also brought a drink and let him observe the room.

"Is there anything you want from me, sir?" Harry had seen enough, and then remembered that Dumbledore told him not to let him come to visit, there must be something very important.

Dumbledore's kind blue eyes showed a narrow light: "I'm fine, maybe you have a lot to ask me."

"That's right!" Harry slapped his head. He had been tormented by heavy schoolwork and Snape recently, and all the questions in his head were suppressed in his heart. Now he had a chance to solve his doubts.

Harry thought about the problems he had been having all this time, and slowly organized his thoughts.

After thinking twice, Harry decided to start with the things he cared about the most.

"Loya... is he a vampire?"

"Didn't you already have the answer?"

Harry took a deep breath. Although Loya had already received an affirmative answer, the exact information he heard from Dumbledore still made him feel unbelievable.

He had been roommates with a vampire for almost a year?

Harry does not have the prejudice against vampires in the wizarding world, he just feels very angry at being cheated by his friends.

After thinking about it, he simply said, "Why did he hide his identity?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Harry knew that he had said the wrong thing. He really exposed his identity. Can Loya still enroll?

If others don't say anything, Malfoy will definitely fall into trouble.

"Because the world is full of prejudice." Dumbledore looked at Harry calmly.

"Race and country, culture and belief, people will always choose to use their own inherent impressions to understand others. These people are often only biased towards themselves, not the facts."

"Harry, I've been with Loya for so long, do you think he is the image of a vampire like in the legend?"

Harry froze, he couldn't help but think of Ron's words.

"If it's a stranger, I will definitely not agree, but if it's Roya, I don't care. After getting along for so long, has Roya done something bad that a vampire would do? Did he go to suck someone's blood? On the contrary, He also stopped Quirrell's conspiracy, he is the hero of Hogwarts!"

Harry thought of the Snitch, and the time he rushed back to Hogwarts immediately after learning that he was ill.

Harry shook his head firmly: "No, he's not."

"Yes." Dumbledore smiled gratifiedly: "You know he is not, but other people don't know. We can't change the world, we can only change ourselves."

Dumbledore suddenly looked out the window and wiped the corner of his eyes: "Maybe you will be strong enough to change the world in the future."

Harry suddenly remembered something, and raised his head nervously: "Sir, if we inadvertently reveal Loya's identity, it will cause him a lot of trouble, right?"

"Is there some magic spell that will allow us to keep this secret?"

Dumbledore was a little surprised, "Of course there are spells to keep secrets, and what you said makes sense. There should be a spell to keep this secret."

"Secret Keeping Curse, this spell will lock the secret among those who know the secret, and only when everyone agrees can the secret be revealed. Of course, if others rely on reasoning to see through the secret, this spell will be self-defeating. "

Dumbledore tapped on the parchment, and six names appeared: Loya, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape.

Dumbledore smiled: "It seems that no one else knows this secret. If so, there will be a new name."

The parchment disappeared in the green flames that suddenly rose, and Harry suddenly felt his heart tense, and a thought popped up: "You must never tell the secret that Loya is a vampire."

Harry nodded reassuringly, seeing Harry's expression, Dumbledore suddenly laughed.

"Speaking of it," said Dumbledore, "you and your father's experiences are really similar."

Harry was a little excited: "My father?"

"Yeah, because it involves the privacy of others, so I can't say too much, you will definitely find out if you have the opportunity."

Harry was a little depressed, why didn't you tell me why you told me about this?

Isn't this tantalizing?

"Sir, when I was on the fourth floor, Loya told me to touch Quilo with my hands. Why? And it seems to be very effective?"

Dumbledore was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Because of Voldemort."

"Voldemort?" Harry looked at the old man in surprise. It was because of this name that his life changed. He hated and was curious about this name.

"That day, after killing your parents, Voldemort tried to kill you, but was wounded by his own Killing Curse, but instead of dying, he hid."

"Quirrell was traveling in Romania, and happened to meet Voldemort. They came together. Voldemort entered the school with the identity of Quirrell. On the one hand, he wanted to kill you, and on the other hand, he also wanted to seize the Sorcerer's Stone. resurrection."

Harry was a little confused: "Resurrection? Didn't he not die?"

"At that time, Voldemort was just a remnant of wandering soul, relying on the power of evil to stay in the world, and would eventually be taken to the underworld. He wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to get rid of this state."

"Can the Philosopher's Stone really bring people back to life?"

Dumbledore suddenly laughed: "Yes, I can't."

Harry was completely confused, what did this mean?

Dumbledore didn't rush to answer his words, but asked him instead: "Harry, do you want to see the Philosopher's Stone?"

Harry was excited, and honestly, it was great that he'd never seen it in person, even though he'd been busy guarding it all term.

"Please show me, sir!"

Dumbledore took out a small cloth bag from the drawer and placed it gently on the table.

Harry opened it carefully, and took out a red gemstone from inside. This gemstone was really beautiful, shining bright red light under the light, but Harry didn't see anything special other than that. A gem that Harry had seen on TV, nothing extraordinary.

He was a little disappointed. Is this the Philosopher's Stone?

"Disappointing, isn't it?"

Dumbledore looked at Harry: "There is an old saying in the East: Gods obscure themselves, which means that real treasures will cover their true nature to cover themselves. The same is true for people, and truly capable people will not go around Show off, but do things quietly, such talents are the cornerstone of this world."

Harry nodded: "Okay, sir, you just said that the Philosopher's Stone can revive people, but you said it can't, what do you mean?"

"Quantity, the demand for the Philosopher's Stone to revive a person will be huge, and..."

"We can't guarantee that the person who came back is the one in your memory or the real one."

"Instead of chasing someone who will never come back, it is better to focus on the present, at least the person in front of you is real."

Harry nodded half-understanding.

"Sir, have we completely wiped out Voldemort that day?"

"I don't think so, son."

Harry was startled, he could hear clearly that day, the scream was so shrill, Voldemort was really that good at running for his life?
