"We have to find Dumbledore," Harry said in the dark hallway.
In the darkness of the passage, Harry said, "Hagrid told a stranger how to subdue Rowey. The man in the cloak was either Snape or Voldemort — he only had to get Hagrid drunk to get him to tell him the truth.
I just hope that Dumbledore can trust us. If Bain doesn't stop us, Ferrenze will testify for us. Where is Dumbledore's office? "
They looked around as if they were expecting to see a sign to show them the way. No one had ever told them where Dumbledore lived, and they didn't know who had been taken to see the headmaster.
"In that case, we have to —"
Before Harry could finish, a voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the hall.
"What are the three of you doing here?"
Professor Mag walked out of the darkness with a huge stack of books in his arms. The professor glanced behind Harry and the rest, and obviously found something unusual.
But Professor Mag was the only one who didn't know about Jon. It was dark here, and Jon wasn't sure if he and Stephen had been discovered. Just as he was thinking about whether they were in danger, they were suddenly pulled into the shadows by some force.
And they didn't make any sound.
"We want to see Professor Dumbledore."
They heard Hermione's voice when they were pulled into the shadows.
And then there was nothing. It was as if a huge barrier had been erected between them and the group of people, blocking out all sounds.
When they looked again, they saw a familiar figure standing beside them.
"Professor Snape?! You scared me. "
Chown heaved a long sigh of relief. He thought it was Professor Mag who saw them and locked them up. Who knew if Professor Mag had the ability to mimic the air like the legendary shapeshifting masters?
"Jon, you shouldn't be here. I remember that in the castle, it should be the elves and ghosts who help you record Mr. Potter's words and actions, or Hufflepuff's other students, not the two of you," Snape said sternly.
Snape said in a more serious tone. "And you guys are too bold, especially you, Chown. Have you forgotten that Professor Mag's immunity in the castle is greater than yours?"
Jon lowered his head and didn't say anything. He was indeed in the wrong. He was usually rude to Snape, but Snape was a professor, after all. Jon still had to listen to his criticism.
"Today, it's a little special. It happened suddenly, so I had no choice." Jon waved the parchment in his hand. "Professor, they found out the truth — except for the part where they were suspicious of you."
Jon's words seemed to have some effect. Snape tapped the tip of his magic wand and weakened the seal around them. Then, Jon and Stephen could hear and see what was happening outside again. They happened to see the book in Professor Mag's arms fall to the floor, but this witch didn't pick it up.
"How did you know —"
She stammered. Apparently, she had just heard about the Philosopher's Stone from Harry and the others and was deeply shocked by it.
"Professor, I think — I know — Snape — someone tried to steal the philosopher's stone. I think I have to talk to Professor Dumbledore."
In Jon's line of sight, Professor Mag was looking at Harry with a mixture of shock and suspicion.
"Professor Dumbledore will be back tomorrow."
After a long silence, the witch 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. Nothing can go wrong."
"But Professor —"
"Potter, I know what I'm saying," she said impatiently.
Then, she bent down and picked up the book that had fallen on the floor.
"I suggest you all go outside to get some sun."
Then, she walked away. When she passed by Jon and Stephen, Professor Snape took a step forward and blocked Jon and Stephen behind him. He exposed his flaw to Professor Mag.
Naturally, he couldn't avoid a doubtful look.
Jon was secretly glad that Professor Mag wasn't so hostile to Snape now. Dumbledore's trust in Snape was still effective.
But that was it. When Professor Snape started to play the role of the bad guy, Professor Mag started to doubt Snape's stand.
This was something that couldn't be explained clearly.
And the conversation didn't end after Professor Mag walked away.
— "Tonight."
When Harry was sure that Professor Mag was too far away to hear, he quickly said, "Snape is going through the trapdoor tonight. He has gotten everything he needs, and now he has tricked Dumbledore to leave the school. He must be the one who sent that letter. I dare say that the Ministry of Magic will be shocked when they see Dumbledore suddenly appear. "
"But what can we do —"
Hermione sucked in a breath of cold air. Harry and Ron turned around at the same time.
Snape was standing there.
Jon didn't have a problem with Snape exposing himself. Or rather, it wouldn't be a bad thing to give Harry and the rest a warning.
He and Stephen hid behind Snape in silence.
Stephen was taking notes, and he was observing Harry and the rest.
"Good afternoon."
Snape said in a smooth tone, "You shouldn't stay in the house in this weather."
Snape squeezed out a strange smile.
"You all need to be careful," he said. "People will think that you are up to no good if you walk around like this.
Gryffindor can't afford to lose any more points, right? "
Harry's face suddenly reddened. They turned to leave, but Snape stopped them again.
"Let me remind you, Potter — If you walk around in the middle of the night again, I will expel you personally.
Have a good day. "
He turned around and strode towards the staff lounge. Jon and Stephen hurried to follow him.
Beside them, a small piece of cloth suddenly disappeared, along with Stephen's quill and parchment.
The Harry Potter in the castle was recorded by the little elf.
The teachers' lounge was off-limits, so Stephen didn't follow in. Instead, he tactfully turned and walked towards the Hufflepuff common room. To be honest, he was a little tired after flying for so long.
He didn't want to stay beside Snape for too long in this state.
However, the person who followed Professor Snape into the teachers' lounge wasn't Jon, but Filch.
Filch looked particularly energetic today and wasn't as slow as he usually was.
He looked at Professor Mag, who shouldn't be here, and bowed.
