Although he knew that this would probably have no result, Carl still told Professor McGonagall everything as promised.

As expected, Professor McGonagall denied everything.

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

After a pause, Professor McGonagall added in a low voice.

"After all, you have to believe Dumbledore. He has prepared very well and has calculated everything."

Listening to the accent on "Everything", Carl received the hint.

Professor McGonagall did not say "Don't mess around with Harry" or "Snape is credible". In fact, he had already acquiesced to Carl's joining Harry's small group - although Dumbledore has not yet understood Carl's origin, he had already initially believed in Carl through the test of Eris' Mirror and Professor McGonagall's evaluation.

At least, he is willing to let Carl participate in his savior plan.

So, Carl brought it back to Harry as he said.

Harry, helplessly, chose to ask Professor Quirrell for help, and got the same answer - of course, in secret, Professor Quirrell had already laughed out loud.

These young boys are still too young!

………………………………………

December arrives as scheduled, and after December, the most important thing is Christmas.

When registering for students on campus, Gryffindor's F4 chose to stay in Hogwarts for Christmas. If Professor McGonagall didn't go home, Carl had no place to go, Harry himself did not want to go back to his aunt's house on Ligue del Road, the Weasleys went to Romania to visit Charlie and Ron could not go home, and Hermione came to a critical period of learning elemental prayer and was unwilling to stop.

During this period, Ron has been motivating Harry from various aspects, hoping to "take the Philosopher's Stone by one step faster than Snape", but Harry was still hesitating - he instinctively felt that this was not a good idea. Although he hated Snape from the bottom of his heart, it was always wrong to just take the Philosopher's Stone by taking it.

Moreover, Hermione never agreed with Ron's idea. She quickly realized that even Snape got the Philosopher's Stone, it would be useless - Dumbledore was still there, and he couldn't escape.

In this case, Ron racked his brains to think about various ways to convince them, and even began to think about whether he could go alone without a companion.

In this case, maybe it is only necessary to find an excuse to borrow Harry's Invisible Clothes.

Just when Ron was already thinking about making up excuses to borrow the Invisible Clothes, in a potion class, Neville's potion exploded and burned Snape's sleeves. Although Snape handled everything at the first time, Ron still kept the black mark on his arm.

After class that day, Ron summoned everyone and told a "shocking secret".

"Snape is a Death Eater - I thought he wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone for gold, but now it seems that he is probably going to resurrect that man!"

Immediately afterwards, Ron told several people everything he saw.

"Dark Mark!" Hermione was also shocked, "Only those who are loyal to the name cannot be mentioned will have such a mark. Professor Snape-I mean, Snape, he is actually a Death Eater!"

"I had doubted before that he must have any more ulterior motives to get the Magic Stone." Ron finally put on a confident look, "Now it seems that his purpose is not simple gold, but resurrecting that person!"

The amount of information about this news was so large that Hermione was a little confused - and Harry, who heard the news, stood up directly.

"We must, as soon as possible!" Harry gritted his teeth, "I must not be resurrected when the person who cannot even mention the name - never!"

At this moment, Harry thought of the family members he saw in the magic mirror. He felt his forehead start to hurt slightly. He even wanted to pull out his wand and come to Snape to question everything loudly.

"In this case, we may indeed need to do it."

At this time, Carl also "finally changed his position". He frowned and thought for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Dumbledore is still here, and we still have time - maybe we need to explore the way or something, and advance a little bit, and finally get the Philosopher's Stone."

"It makes sense." Seeing that Harry's eyes were red, Hermione stopped stopping this time. "But to be honest, night tours are really dangerous at night, and we should probably find a more reliable time."

"How about Christmas?" Carl gave his own advice. "There was no class at that time, so we had the opportunity to do it directly, and then we put it on the table in the principal's office the next day!"

"Good idea!"

Ron, who was almost ready to finish, nodded immediately - as for Harry, although he couldn't wait to beat Snape up, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the plan.

At Carl's reminder, Harry turned to Professor Quirreau again.

And this time, he got some ways to deal with the trolls and a "Professor Quirrell's blessing" - in this way, Professor Quirrell, who received the news from Harry, confirmed that "the stupid lion of Gryffindor is going to be smart", and began to forge letters for Dumbledore.

Of course, Carl did not forget Draco. "By chance," Draco learned that Carl would be very busy on Christmas Day.

Considering that there was no class on Christmas Eve... Draco quickly guessed something.

Everyone started to act in full swing - some were practicing invisible clothes before going to bed every night, trying to achieve real silent stealth; some were mobilizing their small vault to buy more magic potions, preparing to persuade the house elves; some were forging special letters from Wiesengamo, and squatting in the owl shed to release confusion spells to the owls; some were using deformation techniques to create various modules of bullets and revolvers in their spare time, and used gunpowder to be allocated while using the toilet.

Of course, there are also people who are learning elemental prayer while writing four papers in four notes...

Everyone thinks that they have an insight into the overall situation, and everyone thinks that the Philosopher's Stone is within reach.

Then, as a heavy snow fell, Christmas quietly approached, and the curtain of this Philosopher's Stone stage play finally slowly opened.

………………………………………

December 24, evening.

While the students who stayed at Hogwarts were excited to discuss what gifts they were about to receive, an owl came to the teacher's seat and stopped in front of Dumbledore.

A letter to Dumbledore.

After receiving the letter, Dumbledore's face turned on the spot, which was not good. He frowned, ate the pudding on the plate quickly, and hurriedly left the seat.

For most little wizards, this scene is just a trivial little episode, but in the eyes of those who are interested, Dumbledore's departure will mean more things.

Immediately afterwards, news about "Dumbledore encountered some tricky things in Wiesengamor" was circulated from somewhere.
