Chapter 352: rule
"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 a document to Dumbledore.
She said: "The time converter application review of Mr. Albert Anderson and Miss Katrina McDougal has ended."
The Ministry of Magic has very strict management of time converters. Except for Hogwarts students, they are basically not loaned out. The last step of the strict review requires Dumbledore’s signature and approval.
Well, it has nothing to do with the principal, but Dumbledore manages this thing now. For this reason, it is easier for Hogwarts students to apply for borrowing time converters to complete their classwork.
Dumbledore picked up the quill pen, signed his name on it, handed back the application form to Professor McGonagall, and asked, "What 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 the 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 this is a bit boastful." Dumbledore pretended to be embarrassed.
"You don't need to be humble, everyone knows that the only thing a mysterious person is afraid of is you!" Professor McGonagall said helplessly.
Although Dumbledore didn't say who was eyeing the Philosopher's Stone, Professor McGonagall was still keenly aware of something.
The mysterious person may be alive, and he is eyeing the Philosopher's Stone.
Although Professor McGonagall finds this idea very ridiculous, there is no doubt that the one who is eyeing the Sorcerer's Stone is a very powerful dark wizard.
Almost no one can break into Hogwarts without warning, let alone steal something under Dumbledore’s nose, but Professor McGonagall still does not want to recruit Hogwarts students because of the Philosopher’s Stone. Unnecessary danger.
After all, the opponent can break into Gringotts and get rid of the chase of the goblin, definitely not a good guy to deal with.
"I still don't think this is a good idea, and Harry Potter will come to Hogwarts for school." Professor McGonagall said softly.
In the beginning, Dumbledore gave Harry to his Muggle relatives to raise him just to keep Harry out of danger.
"It's safe here," Dumbledore said calmly, "Believe me, if Hogwarts is not safe, there will be no safe place in the whole of Britain."
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 arranged the mechanism, although most wizards 'S logical ability is average, but I doubt it can prevent those superb black wizards from prying into the Philosopher's Stone."
"It doesn't matter, I don't expect those mechanisms to completely prevent others from prying into the Philosopher's Stone." Snape was obviously not optimistic about Dumbledore's approach. "Right," Quirrell is about to hire a monster security guard to guard the agency, you know..."
Snape's face twitched a few times, and he continued: "Those monsters' brains are only the size of a walnut, which can easily cause other problems."
"I think Professor Quirrell will take care of this." Dumbledore said.
"Are you serious?" After Snape left, Professor McGonagall frowned and asked, "Are you really going to let the troll enter Hogwarts Castle?"
This incident makes Professor McGonagall feel absurd.
Dumbledore did not expect the mechanisms designed by the Hogwarts professors to completely stop prying eyes, but if someone wants to crack these mechanisms, it will take at least some time, and this will give him enough time.
Hogwarts cannot be Apparated. 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 opponent, Dumbledore has thought of a great way, even if it is superb. The black wizard of's can't successfully get the Philosopher's Stone in a short time, and he will be blocked by Dumbledore. This is not Gringotts, but there is no place for him to escape.
As for fighting, Dumbledore was not afraid of anyone.
"Tom, what are you going to do?" Dumbledore murmured to himself with interlaced hands.
……
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Quirrell had just sent Snape away, and Dumbledore had granted his request and hired a troll bodyguard to guard the agency.
"What should I do?" Quirrell muttered softly while looking out the window.
The mechanism arranged by the Hogwarts professors looks ridiculous to Quirrell. It is impossible to stop him at all, but it is not small to try to steal the magic stone through the mechanism without making any movement. Difficulty.
This means that he needs to abide by the rules and crack the mechanisms 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, not to mention Dumbledore, will be wanted by the Ministry of Magic, there are a lot of follow-up trouble.
To make matters worse, Dumbledore asked the professors not to tell others how to break the mechanism. Is he suspecting the professor in the school?
Are you doubting me?
This is not good news~www.NovelMTL.com~ Don't do anything extra, it is not the time yet, you need to find a suitable opportunity. "A hoarse voice came from the turban behind Quirrell's head.
"Dumbledore doesn't value the mechanism you set up. He just makes a rule that people who have the idea of Philosopher's Stone have to obey. Those mechanisms that guard the Philosopher's Stone are just a bait to lure others into the bait. Strength is the last guarantee."
Voldemort could easily see through Dumbledore's tricks. This is Hogwarts, his Dumbledore's territory. Once something happens, he will be spotted immediately.
Even if you can really grab the Sorcerer's Stone in the end, you need to face Dumbledore. Except for him, almost no one can get out of Hogwarts when facing Dumbledore. This is the old guy's real plan. .
However, how weak can be Dumbledore's opponent!
Quirrell was silent. Since he failed to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, he has been punished terribly, and Voldemort is parasitic on him.
Until the moment when he was parasitized, Quirrell regretted it, regretting why he didn't run in the first place, why he didn't directly betray Voldemort.
However, it is already late, everything is already late.
Since being parasitized, his body has become weak. If Quirrell does not want to die, he needs to get the magic stone as soon as possible to configure the elixir of life. If he cannot get the magic stone, his life will come to an end for a few months at most. .
Quirrell still doesn't want to die.
He muttered to himself, "You must find a way to figure out what the other professors are."
