Study Days at Hogwarts
Chapter 352: rule
Chapter 352 Rules
"Come in!"
There was a light knock on the door outside the principal's office.
The door opened, and Professor McGonagall walked in, glanced at the mirror on the desk, and handed a document to Dumbledore.
She said: "The time-turner applications for Mr. Albert Anderson and Ms. Katrina McDougall have been reviewed."
The Ministry of Magic has very strict management of Time Converters. Except for Hogwarts students, they basically do not lend them out. The final step of strict review requires Dumbledore's signature and approval.
Well, it's not about the headmaster, it's about Dumbledore running the thing right now, and for that reason, it's easier for Hogwarts students to ask to borrow Time-Turners to complete their assignments.
Dumbledore picked up the quill, signed his name on it, handed the application back to Professor McGonagall, and asked, "Anything else?"
"Are you really going to leave the Sorcerer's Stone at Hogwarts?" Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.
A few days ago, Dumbledore invited several professors from the school to help design a mechanism to protect the Sorcerer's Stone to ensure that it is under the strictest protection and no one can steal it.
"Apart from Gringotts, I am afraid that only Hogwarts can be considered safe, although it is a bit boastful to say so." Dumbledore pretended to be embarrassed.
"You don't need to be humble, everyone knows that the only person the mysterious man is afraid of is you!" Professor McGonagall said rather helplessly.
Although Dumbledore didn't say who was staring at the Philosopher's Stone, Professor McGonagall was still keenly aware of something.
You-Know-Who may be alive and eyeing the Sorcerer's Stone.
Although Professor McGonagall finds this idea ridiculous, there is no doubt that the one who is eyeing the Philosopher's Stone is a very powerful dark wizard.
Almost no one can break into Hogwarts without warning, let alone steal things under Dumbledore's nose, but Professor McGonagall still doesn't want to attract Hogwarts students because of the Philosopher's Stone. unnecessary danger.
After all, the other party can break into Gringotts and get rid of the goblin's pursuit, so he is definitely not an easy guy to deal with.
"I still don't think this is a good idea, and Harry Potter will come to Hogwarts to study." Professor McGonagall said softly.
At the beginning, Dumbledore gave Harry to be raised by Muggle relatives just to keep Harry away from danger.
"It's safe here." Dumbledore said calmly, "Believe me, if Hogwarts is not safe, the whole of England may never find a safe place."
At this moment, the door of the principal's room was knocked again, and Snape walked in. He glanced at Professor McGonagall, and said to Dumbledore: "I have already arranged the mechanism, although most wizards The logical ability is very average, but I doubt whether it can prevent those superb dark wizards from peeping at the Philosopher's Stone."
"It doesn't matter, I don't expect those institutions to completely prevent others from peeping at the Sorcerer's Stone." Snape obviously didn't like Dumbledore's approach. "By the way," Quirrell is going to hire a troll security guard to guard the agency, you know..."
Snape's face twitched a few times, and he continued: "The brains of those trolls are only as big as walnuts, and they can easily cause other problems."
"I think Professor Quirrell will take care of this matter." Dumbledore said.
"Are you serious?" After Snape left, Professor McGonagall frowned and asked, "Are you really going to let trolls enter Hogwarts Castle?"
This incident made Professor McGonagall feel absurd.
Dumbledore didn't expect the mechanisms designed by the Hogwarts professors to completely stop the peepers, but if someone wants to crack these mechanisms, it will take at least some time, and this will buy him enough time.
Hogwarts cannot apparate, and the castle is the biggest trap for Dumbledore. As for how to ensure that the Sorcerer's Stone is not easily taken away by the other party, Dumbledore has already thought of an excellent way, even if it is a superb A dark wizard can't get the Sorcerer's Stone successfully in a short time, and he will be blocked by Dumbledore. This is not Gringotts, and there is no place for the other party to escape.
As for fighting, Dumbledore was not afraid of anyone.
"Tom, what are you going to do." Dumbledore murmured with his hands crossed.
…
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Quirrell had just sent Snape away, and Dumbledore had already granted his request to hire troll bodyguards to guard the agency.
"What should I do?" Quirrell murmured softly, looking out the window.
The organs arranged by the Hogwarts professors seemed ridiculous to Quirrell, and it was impossible to stop him, but it was not small to go through the organs to steal the Philosopher's Stone without making any noise. difficulty.
This means that he needs to abide by the rules and crack the organs left by the Hogwarts professors one by one, which will take a lot of time.
Brute force cracking is undoubtedly faster, but it will cause a lot of trouble, not to mention attracting Dumbledore, and he will be wanted by the Ministry of Magic, and there will be a lot of follow-up troubles.
To make matters worse, Dumbledore asked the professors not to tell others how to crack the mechanism. Is he suspicious of the professors in the school?
Are you doubting me?
This is not good news.
"Don't do anything superfluous, now is not the time, you need to find a suitable opportunity." A hoarse voice came from the hood behind Quirrell's head.
"Dumbledore doesn't value the mechanism you set up. He just made a rule that those who want to use the Sorcerer's Stone have to abide by. Those organs that guard the Sorcerer's Stone are just a bait to lure others into the bait. His Strength is the last guarantee."
Voldemort easily saw through Dumbledore's tricks. This is Hogwarts, his Dumbledore's territory. Once he made any noise, he would be immediately targeted.
Even if you can get the Sorcerer's Stone in the end, you still need to face Dumbledore head-on. Except for him, almost no one can retreat when facing Dumbledore in Hogwarts. This is the real plan of that old guy .
However, how could a weak self be Dumbledore's opponent!
Quirrell was silent. Since he failed to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, he had received terrible punishment, and Voldemort parasitized on him.
Until the moment he was parasitized, Quirrell regretted why he didn't run away and why he didn't betray Voldemort directly.
However, it was too late, everything was too late.
Since being parasitized, his body has become weak. If Quirrell doesn't want to die, he needs to get the Philosopher's Stone to configure the elixir of life as soon as possible. If he can't get the Philosopher's Stone, his life will come to an end in a few months at most. .
Quirrell doesn't want to die yet.
He muttered to himself, "We must find a way to find out what the other professor's organization is."
