"Please come in!"

There was a soft 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 Dumbledore a document.

She said: "The review of Mr Albert Anderson's and Miss Katrina McDougall's time changer applications has concluded."

The Ministry of Magic's management of time converters is very strict. Except for Hogwarts students, they basically do not lend them out. The final step of the strict review requires Dumbledore's signature approval.

Well, it's not about the Headmaster, it's Dumbledore's management of this thing now, and for that reason, it's easier for Hogwarts students to apply for a time-turner to complete their coursework.

Dumbledore picked up the quill, signed his name on it, handed the application back to Professor McGonagall, and asked, "What else?"

"Are you really going to leave the Philosopher's Stone at Hogwarts?" Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.

A few days ago, Dumbledore invited several professors at the school to help design the mechanism to protect the Philosopher's Stone, to ensure that it was under the strictest protection and that no one could steal it.

"Apart from Gringotts, I am afraid that only Hogwarts can be considered safe, although it is a bit of a boast." Dumbledore pretended to be embarrassed.

"You don't need to be humble, everyone knows that the only thing You-Know-Who is afraid of is you!" Professor McGonagall said helplessly.

Although Dumbledore did not say who was eyeing the Philosopher's Stone, Professor McGonagall was still keenly aware of something.

You-Know-Who may still be alive and eyeing the Philosopher's Stone.

Although Professor McGonagall thinks this idea is very ridiculous, there is no doubt that the person eyeing the Philosopher's Stone is a very powerful dark wizard.

Almost no one can break into Hogwarts without warning, let alone steal 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, if the other party can break into Gringotts and get rid of the goblin's pursuit, he is definitely not a good guy to deal with.

"I still don't think it's a good idea, and Harry Potter will come to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said softly.

In the beginning, Dumbledore put Harry in the care of Muggle relatives just to keep Harry out of danger.

"It's very 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 headmaster's room was knocked again, Snape walked in, he glanced at Professor McGonagall, and said to Dumbledore: "I have arranged the mechanism, although most wizards The logical ability is mediocre, but I doubt it can stop those superb dark wizards from prying on the Philosopher's Stone."

"It doesn't matter, I don't expect those organs to completely prevent others from peeping at the Philosopher's Stone." Snape was obviously not optimistic about Dumbledore's approach. "Right," Quirrell was about to hire a troll security guard to guard the facility, you know..."

Snape's face twitched a few times, and he continued: "Those trolls have brains the size of a walnut, which can easily lead to other problems."

"I think Professor Quirrell will take care of this," Dumbledore said.

"Are you serious?" Professor McGonagall asked, frowning after Snape left. "Are you really going to let the trolls enter Hogwarts Castle?"

The incident struck Professor McGonagall as absurd.

Dumbledore did not expect the mechanisms designed by the Hogwarts professors to completely stop the peepers, but if someone wanted to crack these mechanisms, it would take at least some time.

And this will give him enough time.

Hogwarts cannot be Apparated, and the castle is the biggest trap for Dumbledore. As for how to ensure that the Philosopher's Stone is not easily taken away by the opponent, Dumbledore has already thought of an excellent way, even if it is superb The dark wizard who was also unable to successfully get the Philosopher's Stone in a short time, and he would be blocked by Dumbledore. This is not Gringotts, but 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 intertwined.

...

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 organization.

"What should I do?" Quirrell murmured softly, looking out the window.

The mechanism set up by the Hogwarts professors seemed ridiculous to Quirrell, and it was impossible to stop him. difficulty.

This means that he needs to abide by the rules and crack the organs left by the Hogwarts professors one by one, which takes a lot of time.

Brute-force cracking is undoubtedly faster, but there will be a lot of trouble. Dumbledore will not say it, 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. Was 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 institutions you set up. He just made a rule that those who want to play the Philosopher's Stone have to abide by. Those institutions that guard the Philosopher's Stone are just a bait to lure others into taking the bait. His Strength is the last guarantee."

Voldemort easily saw through Dumbledore's tricks. This is Hogwarts, his Dumbledore's territory. Once he makes a move, he will be immediately targeted.

Even if you can really grab the Philosopher's Stone in the end, you still need to face Dumbledore head-on. Except for him, almost no one can retreat when facing Dumbledore at Hogwarts. This is the real plan of the old guy. .

However, how could the weak self be Dumbledore's opponent!

Quirrell was silent, and since he failed to steal the Philosopher's Stone, he had been punished horribly, and Voldemort had parasitized him.

Until the moment he was parasitized, Quirrell regretted why he didn't run away, why he didn't directly betray Voldemort.

However, it is too late, everything is too late.

Since he was parasitized, his body has become weak. If Quirrell doesn't want to die, he needs to get the magic stone as soon as possible to configure the elixir of immortality. If he can't get the magic stone, his life will come to an end in a few months at most. .

Quirrell didn't want to die yet.

He muttered to himself, "You have to find a way to figure out what the other professor's organs are."
