At the professor's seat at dinner time, Quirrell came late and entered the seat. Rutgers and Snape who attended specially almost thought that he would continue to hide in the office to prepare or take advantage of the meal time to act directly. Unexpectedly, he changed With all the clothes on, the smell of garlic on his body is even stronger.Others didn't know, but both Snape and Kate at the Slytherin table knew that the rancid smell on Quirrell's body was even stronger, and the garlic could no longer cover up the smell.It seems that Quirrell's physical condition is declining sharply. If Voldemort who possesses him still needs Quirrell's body to obtain the 'Sorcerer's Stone', he will definitely speed up his plan.

On the way to dinner, Rutgers and the others heard Fox singing, and then saw that it flew towards Professor McGonagall from the direction of the gate instead of teleporting, it put the letter on the table in front of Professor McGonagall, and flew Go to Rogers to beg for food.Since the widespread popularity of the call board, wizards have seldom used letters to transmit information, and flying pets are more focused on mailing items.Professor McGonagall looked at the letter in front of her. She knew the reason why Dumbledore came to the Ministry of Magic today was to discuss the trial of Peter Pettigrew. Now the letter came back suddenly. Could it be something particularly important.

Professor McGonagall put down the tableware in his hand, picked up the letter with her name written in circles on the envelope, and quickly opened the envelope.The letter sent in this way made Mrs. Pontrey and Professor Sprout beside Professor McGonagall feel puzzled, and they both asked Professor McGonagall in a low voice.

Professor McGonagall, who took out the stationery to read, glanced at the content quickly, and then she said: "Albus may not come back tonight, let me explain to Argus, he is the only one on the night watch tonight. Argus, you need Shall I watch the night with you?" Even though there are still exam papers piled high in the office to be graded, Professor McGonagall, who has paid more attention to the safety of students since the incident with Peter Pettigrew, said without thinking. I can watch the night with Filch.

"No, Professor McGonagall, don't worry, I will never let those stinky boys run around at night." Filch knew that the professors were the busiest in the few days after the exams. Dumbledore was in charge of the night watch, allowing the professors to rest more.Besides, after the exams, the students will actually have a party in the lounge. As long as the house elves and others will prepare enough food and drinks, the students will stay in the lounge to play.

Taking the whole process into their eyes, Snape and Rogers, who apparently were eating and not participating in the topic, did not expect Dumbledore to think so carefully. Tonight, only Filch was watching the night alone. Dumbledore He also said that he couldn't come back to Hogwarts tonight. In Voldemort's eyes, this was the best chance to steal the 'Sorcerer's Stone'.

When Snape and Rutgers finished their dinner, they saw that there were not many students at the four big dining tables in the four colleges, and the professors also ate about the same, chatting in whispers.Quirrell, who was pale and sweating on his forehead, wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat for a while, tremblingly said goodbye to everyone in his very time-wasting stuttering way, got up and left the table.Knowing that Quirrell's back was out of sight, Snape and Rogers glanced at each other and left the table on the pretext of taking a walk after dinner.

They walked out of the hall and not out of the castle, they went down to the cellar and caught the kids and Kate from the Slytherin party in the Slytherin lounge, Snape warned them with a serious face that they had to go back to the dorm early tonight , or stay here and don't go back.He also specifically named them, not allowing Kate to take Harry and the others to run around. He also said that he had told Medusa outside the door to watch Kate and Harry go out, and report to him in time if they ran around.

The children and Kate who had really planned to go out to play late at night immediately looked frustrated. Snape had an expression of knowing that such a thing would happen. Rogers, who had never thought of this possibility, was a little angrily Looking at the children, he always thought that Harry and the others were obedient children, but he didn't expect them to have the idea of ​​going out at night. It seems that after this matter is resolved, he must teach them a good lesson and educate them.

But this matter can only be discussed in the future. After Rutgers and Snape checked Harry and the others, they were stopped by Medusa who was guarding the door as soon as they walked out. The Medusa in the portrait was not like her The same kind who guarded Snape's office, she was noble and glamorous, and she rarely communicated with others.Rogers and Snape stood in front of the door, looking at Medusa whose eyes were tied with cloth strips, feeling puzzled.

【The gentleman is no longer in the office, he is...under the ground. ] Medusa left such a sentence, and then left the portrait.

The news stunned the two of them for a moment, and then they realized that Medusa was talking about Voldemort.

"Under the ground refers to this place, or... is there a next floor here? Severus." Rogers didn't understand what Medusa's reminder meant. They were in Hogwarts right now. In the cellar, does this underground place refer to here, or does Hogwarts actually have floors that go deeper into the ground.

His brows were unconsciously frowned because of thinking. Thinking from a Slytherin perspective, no one would let go of today's great opportunity. As for Voldemort's purpose in going through the secret passage, wait for him to sneak in on the fourth floor. Know, "It may be Slytherin's secret passage or secret room, no matter where he is, he will never let go of this opportunity, he will definitely go to the fourth floor tonight, let's go to the fourth floor to prepare and guard. "

It was very easy for Rogers and Snape to get to the fourth floor. Next to the room at the end of the fourth floor was an inconspicuous cubicle that was now cast a spell. There was a bookshelf there. There is a secret passage in the corridor of the Hogwarts Great Hall that leads to the exit behind the bookshelf.Rutgers and Snape took advantage of the dark night, when the professors were working hard to correct the test papers, and the students were all back in the dormitory, they walked to the corridor of the auditorium, and slipped sideways into the secret passage smoothly and nimbly.

After confirming that there was no one outside, the two came out of the cubicle, and they strode into the room where the 'Magic Stone' was stored. The room looked like an empty old room, and there was a silver water tray in the middle of it. It looked very out of tune with the shabby look of the room.Rogers walked forward, the water tray contained a silver liquid similar in color to the water tray, bubbling from time to time, and there was a red gemstone in the middle, which was the 'Sorcerer's Stone' they had prepared for Voldemort.This 'Sorcerer's Stone' is exactly like the Philosopher's Stone described in all books and documents, and no one would know that it was not the real Philosopher's Stone if Mailer hadn't checked it out himself.

Checking the 'Philosopher's Stone' which was still in the potion tray, Rogers turned around and nodded to Snape who was checking the defenses, and then the two of them backed out to the cubicle.There is a small crystal stone installed in the room, which can transmit the picture to the magic screen placed in the cubicle. Rogers and Snape are guarding there, waiting for Voldemort to get the 'Sorcerer's Stone' before appearing.

Rogers and Snape stayed in the cubicle and waited until they heard Filch, who was watching the night outside, coming and leaving. Snape and Rogers beside him made gestures, signaling to be vigilant, Voldemort It can happen at any time.Not long after, the hissing... the hissing sound could be heard in the small cubicle, and the sound seemed to move from above their heads, and finally seemed to reach the next room.

Snape put his slender fingers to his lips and made a silent sound. Voldemort did not know what he had brought over, they couldn't startle the enemy, and now entered an emergency muffled state.Rogers nodded, and then pointed to the magic screen. In the three-dimensional image, the door was opened silently.They saw a figure enter the room with a tail behind them, and it was a huge tail, which was the owner who had just hissed.

Staring at the projection on the magic screen, Snape took Rogers' hand and wrote something on his hand, 【Basilisk, don't look into its eyes, stay here, don't go out. 】

Seeing that Snape was about to go out, Rogers grabbed Snape's hand with his backhand, preventing him from moving.Rutgers had seen the introduction of the basilisk in Snape's library. He knew how powerful the basilisk was, but he never thought that the legendary basilisk would appear at Hogwarts and obey Voldemort's orders.In the projection of the magic screen, the basilisk twisted its body and followed Quirrell into the room. It seemed to be ordered by Voldemort to stay still and guard the door for him. Its huge body blocked the door at once.

In such a situation, even if Snape wanted to go to the room alone, there was nothing he could do. No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him not to attract the attention of Voldemort and the basilisk, capture the basilisk, and then make Voldemort feel very dangerous to take it. to the 'Sorcerer's Stone'.

In the room, Voldemort directed Quirrell to try to break the spell around the water plate. In the cubicle, Snape and Rogers continued to communicate by hand, preventing each other from taking dangerous actions.In the end, Rutgers used his captain America's command and organization ability. He quickly analyzed the situation and thought that they must allow Voldemort to leave the basilisk and take the 'Sorcerer's Stone'. He discussed with Snape and informed Dumbledore first. Let him know the situation and rush back quickly.

Rutgers didn't want Snape to act alone, and Snape didn't want Rogers to take risks. He was procrastinating and unable to speak and argue. In the end, the two decided to go together.During this period, they also got a reply from Dumbledore. Dumbledore said that he would come back soon and asked them to delay as much as possible and pay attention to safety.Snape was worried that the magic fluctuation of the communication board would attract the basilisk waiting at the door, so he turned off the communication board after receiving Dumbledore's reply. While he was doing a series of actions, Rogers was already slow Moving slowly to the door of the cubicle, he held his wand in one hand and the shield in the other, waiting for Snape while keeping an eye out for movement outside.

The author has something to say: I went to the beach to play today, if there is no update at [-] o'clock tomorrow... I will still rush back to update, anyway, there is no delay.It's hard to say the last time of the journey back. If it's time for dinner after I come back, I might have to go out to eat again...
