Hogwarts: Who hasn't collected a Horcrux?

"We must go find Dumbledore," said Harry.

"Hagrid told a stranger the method through Fluffy, and the person wearing the cloak was either Snape or Voldemort.……"

"He only had to get Hagrid drunk, and it would be easy to get him to talk."

"I just hope Dumbledore believes us."

""Where is Dumbledore's office?"

They looked around, as if expecting to see a sign pointing them in the direction.

No one had ever told them where Dumbledore lived, and they didn't know if anyone had ever been taken to see the headmaster.

William knew that Dumbledore's office was on the eighth floor of the castle, but he didn't have the password.

"follow me……"Before William finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the hallway.

"What are you guys doing in the room?"

It was Professor McGonagall, she was holding a pile of books in her arms.

"Professor McGonagall, we want to see Professor Dumbledore. William said politely.

Harry and Ron thought he was very brave.

"Want to see Professor Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall repeated, as if it was very suspicious that they had such an idea,"Why?"

Harry swallowed - how to say it?

William was very calm, he replied very calmly:"Professor McGonagall, we have some suggestions for Professor Dumbledore"

""What suggestions?" Professor McGonagall asked subconsciously, and then said,"I'm sorry to tell you a bad news."

"Professor Dumbledore left ten minutes ago. He received an urgent letter from the Ministry of Magic sent by owl and flew to London immediately."

Hearing the news, Harry said anxiously without waiting for William to speak:"He left? At this time?"

"Professor Dumbledore is a very remarkable wizard, busy with many things, and his time is precious.——"

"But this is very important"

""What are you talking about that's more important than the Ministry of Magic, Harry?" said Professor McGonagall disapprovingly.

"Look," said Harry, throwing caution to the wind,"Professor...it's about the Philosopher's Stone.…｀.…"

Professor McGonagall had never expected this to happen.

The book in her arms fell to the floor with a crash, and she did not pick it up.

"How do you know?……"She stammered.

"Professor, I think... I know... Snipes... someone tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone. I must talk to Professor Dumbledore."Harry stuttered.

William was a little helpless. How could this kid be so impatient!

Professor McGonagall looked at him with a mixture of astonishment and suspicion.

"Professor Dumbledore will be back tomorrow." She finally said

"I don't know how you found out about the Philosopher's Stone, but don't worry, no one can steal it. It is well protected and safe."

"But Professor……"

"Potter, I know what I'm talking about.

Professor McGonagall said impatiently, then bent down and picked up the book that had fallen to the ground.

"I suggest you go outside and get some sunshine."

But they didn't do that.

"Tonight," Harry said quickly, when he was sure Professor McGonagall was out of earshot,"Snape will go through the trapdoor tonight."

William's ears moved; he heard footsteps.

""Harry, stop talking for now." William interrupted Harry and patted him on the shoulder.

Harry asked in confusion,"William, what's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Snape appeared. He walked over and said in a smooth tone,"Good afternoon!" (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Harry and the others looked at him blankly, wondering if Snape heard anything.

Only William remained calm and greeted with a polite smile,"Professor, good afternoon!"

"You shouldn't stay indoors on such a sunny day."

Snape said, his face twisted into a weird smile.

"We just……"Harry wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

"You need to be careful," Snape said,"If you wander around like this, people will think you are up to something bad, right?"

Harry blushed, maybe he was guilty

""Thank you for the reminder, Professor. But we were just wandering around out of boredom. How could we possibly do anything bad?" William chuckled, and then he took Hermione and turned to walk out.

But Snape stopped them again.

"Just a reminder, Potter...if you dare to wander around in the middle of the night, I will personally expel you. Have a nice day."

Then he strode towards the staff room.

As William and the others reached the stone steps outside, Harry began to speak again.

"Snape will definitely go through the trapdoor tonight. What he said just now was a threat to us, so that we don't ruin his business tonight."

"He now had everything he needed and had tricked Dumbledore out of the school."

"He must have sent the letter. I bet the Ministry of Magic will be surprised to see Dumbledore suddenly appear."

""But what should we do? Professor Dumbledore is not here, and Professor McGonagall doesn't believe us." Hermione said in distress.

"I think we have to do this now."

At the critical moment, William said,"Let's split into two groups. Hermione and I will stay to monitor Snape, and Harry, you and Ron will go to the corridor on the fourth floor and wait for the rabbit. Is that ok?"

"No problem. Hermione and the other two had no objection to William's arrangement.

""Okay, then you guys go to the fourth floor and keep watch. Hermione and I will monitor Snape. Once Snape starts to move, we will follow him."

Harry and Ron nodded, turned around and left.

But this part of the plan did not work.

As soon as Harry and the others arrived at the door that separated Fluffy from the rest of the school, Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared.

This time she couldn't help but lose her temper.

"I suppose you think you're more powerful than a bunch of magic spells?" she growled.

""That's enough, stop messing around! If I hear that you guys come here again next time, I'll deduct fifty points from Gryffindor! Yes, Weasley, deduct fifty points from my own house!"

Harry and Ron returned to the common room in dejection.

Harry had just said,"At least William and Hermione are still keeping an eye on Snape," when he saw the Fat Lady's portrait suddenly turn away, and William and Hermione came in.

""Weren't you guys monitoring Snape? Why are you back?" Ron asked.

William shook his head:"We failed. Snape was too alert. He discovered us and we had to leave. Why are you back?"

William actually failed on purpose. After all, it was Quirrell who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone. What's the point of monitoring Snape?

Ron shrugged and said helplessly:"We were caught by Professor McGonagall. She was very angry and drove us away."

"Well, it seems that this is the only way, right?"Although Harry said this, his face was pale and his eyes were shining.

"I will sneak out of here tonight and try to get the Philosopher's Stone first."
