Chapter 471： Leaker (1/2)

”I haven't completely figured out how many magical organs Quirrell has inquired about, but he is certainly not as cringing as he seems on the surface.”
In the principal's office, Snape was reporting the latest information to Dumbledore.
”I suspect that the magic mechanism you let us set up is not useful at all.” Snape looked at Dumbledore sitting at the desk with his hands crossed thinking about the problem, and said blankly: ”If Quirrell really is The dark wizard who broke into Gringotts.”
”I never expected those magical institutions to stop the peepers.” Dumbledore said calmly, ”But it is undeniable that those magical institutions are still working well until now, do you think Severus?”
”There is another thing. Harry Potter is investigating the thing you hid on the fourth floor, and you should already know a lot of things.” When Snape mentioned Potter, his face showed involuntarily. With an expression of disgust, ”He likes his father, like his father, likes to be limelight, cause trouble, violate discipline, and be rude.”
”Other teachers said that the boy was humble, easy-going, and talented.” Dumbledore said peacefully.
”He might be involved in this matter.” Snape's tone suddenly stopped and said firmly: ”No, it should be said that he is self-righteous, he will definitely be involved in this matter, do you already know something? Who? Instructing Quirrell to run to the school to steal things behind his back? From what I know of Quirrell, he doesn't seem like a person who has the courage to break into Gringotts and steal.”
”There are already some guesses.” Dumbledore's gaze moved to the table beside the exquisite silverware suddenly with white smoke.
”Who?”
When Snape asked about this, he couldn't help but reach out and grab his arm: ”It's him! It's impossible! Isn't he dead? And the Dark Mark has not changed.”
”You should know that Voldemort is not dead yet.”
When Dumbledore mentioned Voldemort, the muscles on Snape's face twitched slightly.
”Okay, I will trouble you to worry about Quirrell's affairs.” Dumbledore took the initiative to end the conversation.
After Snape left the principal's room, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes and looked at the delicate silverware that was smoking white smoke on the table.
”a?”
……
In the room, Albert sits on a chair, flipping through his notebook boredly with the help of the burning torch in front of him, and there is a blood-red stone at his feet.
If Quirrell was here at the moment, he would definitely recognize that this was the legendary Philosopher's Stone. The precious Philosopher's Stone was just thrown on the ground by Albert like garbage.
After knowing this, Kiro would really vomit blood!
But then again, is this thing really a magic stone?
Albert actually couldn't judge, but he tried to turn other objects into ”gold”, but all failed.
Perhaps, as Albert initially guessed, this is just a stone that resembles a Philosopher’s Stone, otherwise how could it be put here as a bait?
What if it is stolen?
Regardless of whether the Philosopher’s Stone is real or not, it doesn’t matter to Albert. He came here to take risks and break into the magic organs arranged by the professors, in fact, only to complete the mission of the ”Game of Braves”.
As for the Philosopher’s Stone?
Even if it is true, he can't take it away.
There really is a task for him to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, and Albert will not give up a forest because of a tree.
Okay, in fact, the benefits of betrayal are not big enough.
An unfamiliar footstep came from the corridor outside. Albert turned his head and smiled and said hello to the visitor: ”Good evening, Mr. Dumbledore.”
”Good evening, Mr. Anderson.” Dumbledore greeted Albert with a smile. ”What are you doing here?”
”Isn't this obvious? A great adventure.” Albert bent down, and under Dumbledore's gaze, picked up the Philosopher's Stone on the ground, ”However, the prize for the clearance was a bit unexpected.”
