Chapter 39 Conversation in the Principal’s Office
The eighth floor of the castle, the principal's office.
Dumbledore, who was discussed by Andy and Hermione, was sitting in the principal's office at this moment, frowning and thinking.
He did already know.
The portraits and ghosts throughout the castle are Dumbledore's spies. Nothing that happens in the castle can escape Dumbledore's eyes - as long as he wants to know.
The office was quiet, and the portraits of past principals hanging on the wall were pretending to be doing their own thing. However, the eyes they glanced at Dumbledore from time to time had already revealed their desire to hear gossip.
They wondered how on earth Dumbledore was going to handle this.
This is an anecdote unprecedented in Hogwarts for a thousand years.
For the first time, the four colleges of the school joined forces with one mind, and the purpose was to drive away a professor.
If the four founders of Hogwarts knew about this, it is unknown whether they would be more angry or relieved.
Principal Phineas Black was obviously not a very patient person, and he decided to say something to break the deadlock.
"In the future, who will say that Albus Dumbledore is the greatest headmaster of Hogwarts? When I was the headmaster, such outrageous things wouldn't happen in the school!"
Phineas Black's tone was a little smug, "I heard that our Slytherin students picked the head of this matter? Ha! If you want me to say, this is really beautiful!"
Principal Dairis Dewent ignored Phineas Black. She looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Albus, what are you going to do with this?"
As soon as this question came out, all the portraits stopped what they were doing at the same time. They all looked at Dumbledore, and even Phineas Black stopped talking.
"Ah! I'm thinking of another thing."
Dumbledore seemed to have just woken up, "Although it will be a bit troublesome, it would be good to drive Quirrell out of Hogwarts, which saves me a lot of trouble."
Dumbledore frowned and pondered, what happened in the end?
Hmm... This matter started a few months ago.
Voldemort was still alive, and his remnant haunted the forests of Albania - something Dumbledore had known for a long time.
It wasn't until Quirrell went to the Albanian forest that Voldemort left there.
Later, Dumbledore received news that someone was trying to get the Sorcerer's Stone.
So Dumbledore decided to use the Philosopher's Stone to lure Voldemort into taking the bait.
Harry Potter is about to enter school, and Dumbledore must ensure that the boy is brave enough to face Voldemort.
At the same time, he also wanted to verify another thing, whether the protective magic on Harry Potter was still effective against Voldemort.
The child in this prophecy is the only hope that Dumbledore can think of to defeat Voldemort.
Can Dumbledore defeat Voldemort?
do not know!
Because Voldemort would never fight him to the death.
Since he would not fight to the death, Dumbledore would naturally not be able to kill Voldemort.
What's more, Voldemort still has a way to avoid death.
In the beginning, the plan actually went smoothly.
Dumbledore asked Hagrid to pick up Harry, and at the same time asked Hagrid to take the Philosopher's Stone stored in Gringotts.
Hagrid was a careless man and he didn't avoid Harry at all.
As long as Harry is curious enough, he will know about the Sorcerer's Stone sooner or later.If he has justice and courage in his heart, then he will take action to protect the Philosopher's Stone.
As for the next step, Dumbledore just needs to wait patiently.
However, who would have thought that the famous Harry Potter couldn't even unlock the Locking Curse?
Not to mention discovering the trap door guarded by the three-headed dog, he didn't even enter the door.
Of course, it's not Dumbledore's fault either.
Dumbledore was a magic genius back then, and Dumbledore could learn small magic such as the Lockpicking Curse without reading a book.
It's as if Einstein couldn't imagine that someone doesn't even know how much one plus one equals.
Does this still need to be taught?
But it doesn't matter if it fails once. Dumbledore still has a year to slowly plan.
However, this action by Slytherin disrupted all of Dumbledore's deployments.
As Andy said, the principal can't be against all the students.It is the common wish of all the students to get rid of Quirrell, and Dumbledore can only compromise.
Now that the dismissal of Quirrell is a foregone conclusion, Dumbledore naturally needs to change his plan.
Kaka!
The spiral staircase moved slowly, and Snape in black robe pushed open the door of the principal's office and walked in.
There was a hint of sarcasm on his face, "It looks like you're in a good mood."
"Ah! Yes!"
Dumbledore showed a relieved expression, "The students are united for the first time. Let me think, what did they say? Ah! Swear to the death to defend our right to study."
"From this point of view, Quirrell is indeed a bit unqualified. Miss Granger from Ravenclaw even wrote me a letter of complaint before!"
Snape was expressionless.
Aside from dealing with Voldemort, Snape and Dumbledore never pissed in the same jug.
"I've checked, and it's indeed Malfoy who started it."
Speaking of this, Snape couldn't help showing a trace of doubt on his face, "But I know Malfoy, he is incapable of planning such a thing."
Just think of what Draco Malfoy has been up to this week!
He had just arranged a midnight duel with Ron and Harry, and then went to Filch to report them.
Is it possible for a little wizard like Malfoy to think of contacting all the students to drive away a professor together?
Totally impossible!
"I don't think Malfoy is the mastermind either."
Dumbledore crossed his fingers in front of him, and his tone seemed calm, "But...unless we force Malfoy to tell the truth, we will never know who the mastermind of this matter is."
"But I can't think of a reason to do it."
Dumbledore continued: "Although the method is a bit drastic, writing a complaint letter is not a violation of school rules."
Snape would not believe Dumbledore's nonsense, he looked directly at Dumbledore and asked, "You should already have doubts in your heart?"
"..." Dumbledore was silent for a moment.
"Severus, will you keep an eye on a child for me?"
Dumbledore's tone was a bit complicated, he seemed ashamed of his actions.
After speaking, Dumbledore took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Snape - it was a letter of complaint written by Hermione.
Snape just glanced lightly, and he immediately understood what Dumbledore meant, "You mean Collins? He does have some talent, but he's only 11 years old this year!"
"But I'm over 100 years old!"
Dumbledore did not avoid Snape's gaze, "I can feel that the kid is full of enthusiasm for magic, and sooner or later he will become curious about black magic."
"Severus, we cannot just watch a gifted child be led into darkness by dark magic."
"I'm afraid I won't have much time this year, so I can only trouble you."
The eighth floor of the castle, the principal's office.
Dumbledore, who was discussed by Andy and Hermione, was sitting in the principal's office at this moment, frowning and thinking.
