The Admiral of Hogwarts

"What on earth did you think of that made you so nervous all of a sudden?" Because of multiple body enhancements and recent exercise, Hugo quickly caught up with Harry, who was running in the front, and asked.

"Because what your sister said just now reminded me of something." Harry said while running. "Although according to what you asked Hagrid before, we know that it is not too strange for a peddler selling dragon eggs to appear in the Hog's Head bar, and it is normal to gamble while playing cards, but it seems a bit too coincidental that all of these are put together."

"Just like Hermione said just now, Hagrid is indeed unlikely to betray Headmaster Dumbledore. But he is not a very tight-lipped person either, so I think that peddler who might have a problem may have gotten some important information from Hagrid's mouth, such as how to get past the three-headed dog."

"What you said is indeed possible." Hugo responded immediately after hearing Harry's words. It was not surprising that Harry could think of this. After all, he was not a particularly stupid student, and this time he lacked a smart brain like Hermione by his side. So he seemed to be more comprehensive in his thinking than in the original text.

Soon, the group crossed the grass and arrived at Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid was sitting on a chair outside the hut, his trouser legs rolled up high, busy shelling pea pods into a large bowl. After seeing Hugo and the others, he waved to them enthusiastically and said, "Hello, I remember the exam should be over now, right? Would you like a cup of hot tea?"

"Thank you, but we have some urgent matters to ask you about." Harry declined Hagrid's kindness, and then asked about some details of what happened when Hagrid was playing cards that day. As a result, in just a few words, Harry very smoothly obtained everything that happened when Hagrid was playing cards, and also figured out how to safely pass the three-headed dog.

"It's just as I thought." After inquiring about the information he needed, Hugo and the others ran towards the castle together. After the group entered the somewhat cold foyer, Harry gasped for a few breaths and said to the people present, "Hagrid really leaked important secrets. We must find the headmaster and tell him about this."

But everything that followed did not go so smoothly. The group prepared to go to the headmaster's office, but Professor McGonagall told them that the headmaster had already left the school. Obviously, Dumbledore's departure at this time was likely related to the thief who was planning to steal the Philosopher's Stone. And Ron, who was preparing to go to the teachers' lounge to keep an eye on suspicious people, was driven back by Snape because of his poor acting skills.

Under such circumstances, Harry decided to take a gamble and act tonight, trying to take the Philosopher's Stone away before the thief who was planning to steal it succeeded, to prevent the Philosopher's Stone from falling into the hands of evildoers.

After Harry said his decision, Hugo and the others also expressed that they would participate in this action. Then, the group agreed on the time and place to meet tonight and dispersed to return to prepare.

"Sister, I don't think you should participate in this action tonight." Hugo said to Hermione when returning to the Ravenclaw Tower, "I think it's enough for Vineto to go with Harry and the others through that door."

"What about us? You clearly promised Harry and the others just now that you would participate in their action tonight." Hermione asked with wide eyes, "Are we going to break our promise tonight?"

"Of course not, I just said I wouldn't go through that door, but I didn't say I wouldn't participate in this action." Hugo immediately denied after hearing Hermione say this. After all, although the two were twins, Hermione was indeed born more than ten minutes earlier than him. And as an older sister, Hermione always seemed to be more assertive when the two were together. Therefore, Hugo realized that if he couldn't convince Hermione, there would definitely be a lot of trouble later.

"Okay, tell me your specific arrangements and let me listen." Because the students were all starting to enjoy the leisurely time after the final exam, there was no one in the corridor. So Hermione simply stopped and looked at Hugo with her arms crossed. "I hope you can come up with a reason that can convince me."

"Because this action requires a few careful people to watch everyone's back." Hugo stared directly into Hermione's eyes and said seriously. "Harry's idea is indeed not too bad, especially when the professors are now unwilling to believe what we say, this may be the only feasible solution. But I am worried that someone may follow us through those levels and then steal the Philosopher's Stone at the last moment."

"Therefore, I hope that you can come with me to guard outside the door at that location to confirm that there are indeed no followers behind Harry and the others, and avoid the tragedy of us being used by thieves."

"That's right, your idea is very reasonable. It is indeed necessary to have someone watch everyone's back and be ready to notify the professors at any time." Hermione nodded after hearing Hugo's words, indicating that she agreed with his arrangements in this matter, and then said, "But I think one person is enough for this job, for example, you should be able to complete this job easily, so why mobilize two people?"

"Because we must not only ensure the safety of Harry and the others, but also ensure the safety of the sentry outside." Hugo said very seriously, "If it's just one person, it's easy for various problems to occur, such as not being able to leave when a warning needs to be issued, or being harmed by the dark wizard who is preparing to steal the Philosopher's Stone. But if there are two people on guard, these problems can basically be avoided."

"Hmm—if you put it that way, I think what you said is right. I decided to stay outside with you tonight." After the training some time ago, Hermione also fully realized her shortcomings in some aspects, so after thinking about it, she finally agreed to this plan.

Hearing Hermione's agreement, Hugo breathed a sigh of relief. He had been preparing for the most important activity of the final exam tonight for a long time and had formulated a special plan through discussions with the ship girls. And reassigning manpower was the first step in this big event, and fortunately, he finally successfully persuaded Hermione to allow the plan to proceed smoothly.

Besides, the plot now is already far from the original plot. Hugo was a little worried that his older sister might be hurt in this action, so naturally he didn't want Hermione to go down with Harry and the others this time.

After the group discussed the specific actions for the evening, they returned to the common room together. In the following time, Hugo and the others went to the library to read books as usual, then had dinner together and returned to Ravenclaw Tower. Try to relax as much as possible during this time.

Until the agreed time arrived, the three of them left the common room together and walked towards the corridor on the fourth floor. Before leaving, Hugo and Hermione each brought their own cats.
