Albert reached out and knocked on the wooden door of the hunting lodge.
After a while, there was some noise in the room. As soon as the wooden door opened a crack, Yaya got the dog's head out first, wagging his big tail excitedly and wandering around Albert.
"Come in, I have something to ask you."
Hagrid seemed to have not slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, and he opened the door with a slightly hoarse voice.
"you are sick?"
When Albert saw Hagrid's appearance, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.
"No, I just didn't sleep well last night."
After Albert entered the room, Hagrid stuck his head out the door and looked around, making sure no one was there before closing the door again. He also closed the curtains on the window. There was a blazing fire in the room, and the
The copper kettle was steaming, and Hagrid's favorite rock biscuits were placed on the table.
"You couldn't be more awake all night because of Nico Flamel's affairs!"
Albert took off his cloak, shook the snow off it and hung it on a clothes rack nearby. He squatted down and began to rub the dog's head with teeth, without looking at Hagrid's expression at the moment.
In fact, Albert knew that the expression on Hagrid's face was very exciting even without looking.
In fact, Hagrid's face was full of astonishment, and he didn't expect Albert to directly talk about this matter.
"Harry came to see you yesterday." Albert said with certainty.
"How do you know?" Hagrid blurted out almost without thinking.
"The day before yesterday, the three of them asked me about Nico Flamel, but I didn't tell them." Albert didn't care about Hagrid's surprised expression. He took out the wand from his pocket and pointed it towards the burning copper on the fireplace.
After waving the pot, the already boiling copper pot immediately flew over and started making tea automatically in front of them.
"Then how did you know that the thing hidden in the school is the Philosopher's Stone?" Hagrid asked in a low voice.
"Because Harry was talking about Nico Flamel."
"I don't believe it." Hagrid said with a don't fool me expression.
"Nicholas Flamel and Dumbledore are friends, and it's recorded on the chocolate frog card." Albert saw Hagrid's suspicious expression, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Okay, actually I
I know Nico Flamel. I just went to his place for a few days this summer. Dumbledore took me there. I heard that he was in some trouble... Well, you know, some things are actually not difficult to guess.
.”
At this moment, Hagrid was stunned. He stood there stupidly, as if he didn't know what to do.
"What did you just say?" He asked repeatedly as if he didn't understand what Albert said.
"I said that Nico Flamel and I are friends, so you don't have to worry about me trying to find the Philosopher's Stone." Albert raised his head, looked at Hagrid helplessly and said, "Actually, you don't have to at all.
Worry, even if I really want the Philosopher's Stone, do you really think I can hide it from Dumbledore, successfully grab the Philosopher's Stone and run away?"
Hagrid's expression suddenly froze.
yes!
Is it possible that if you really grab the magic stone and run away, you won't be able to go to school?
Moreover, is it really possible to grab the magic stone and run away?
Obviously unlikely.
This is Hogwarts!
"One more thing, Hagrid, how do you know that the Philosopher's Stone is real?" Albert looked like he couldn't help you, "You already know that someone is eyeing the Philosopher's Stone, and you will still take him out.
As bait?"
"Bait?" Hagrid was a little confused, feeling that his IQ was not enough.
"Of course it's to lure out the thief who wants to steal the Sorcerer's Stone." Albert said matter-of-factly.
"But...wait a minute, you're talking about a thief. Dumbledore placed the Philosopher's Stone in the school just to lure thieves into taking the bait?" Hagrid looked confused. He had no idea what the operation was.
"It should be the mysterious man or his minions who are eyeing the Philosopher's Stone, so Dumbledore is preparing to use the Philosopher's Stone to lure it out." Albert briefly stated his guess, "As for whether the Philosopher's Stone is real.
It’s really hard to say, after all, most people have never seen the Philosopher’s Stone, so even if it’s fake, they probably won’t be able to tell the difference.”
"You mean the Philosopher's Stone in school is fake?" Hagrid's hands were shaking slightly.
"I don't know either." Albert shrugged and said that this was just a guess. Since he knew someone was going to steal it, why take the risk with the truth?
There is absolutely no need for this!
"You're right, I actually..." Hagrid was just about to say, when he saw Albert shushing and pointing outside the window. Hagrid walked over in confusion and opened the window.
At that time, I heard the sound of people's footsteps.
He was stunned.
"It's Harry and the others. They were watching me when I came here." Albert opened the task panel, and there was a crisis of confidence task showing that it had been completed.
This mission appeared yesterday when I received a letter from Hagrid. The content was probably that Hagrid had doubts about him because of the magic stone. He needed to make Hagrid dispel his suspicions. The experience of the mission was only 500, plus 10 points of Hagrid's
Favorability.
"You mean Harry?" Hagrid's expression changed, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Don't worry, they just arrived." Albert said calmly.
Hagrid felt a little relieved. When he walked over to open the door, he saw Harry, Ron and Hermione all appearing outside the door wearing cloaks.
"Come in!" he said leisurely.
All three of them had a little embarrassment on their faces.
"Albert, you should know each other," Hagrid introduced. "These three are Harry, Ron and Hermione."
"We've already met Hagrid," Harry said dryly.
"Okay Hagrid, I'm leaving now. I'll come over to have tea with you another day." Albert picked up the cloak and put it on himself. After nodding hello to Harry and the other two, he left on his own.
.
"What is he here for?"
"Discuss something." Hagrid looked like he didn't want to talk more.
"What about Nico Flamel?" Hermione asked tentatively.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Well, damn it, leave Nico Flamel alone." Hagrid said helplessly: "I hope you didn't come to me for this matter. Don't let your curiosity get the better of you.
That will kill you."
"What?"
"Curiosity will kill the cat." Hagrid took a sip of tea and said, "I don't want to discuss this matter anymore."
"Sorry Hagrid." Hermione noticed that Hagrid was unhappy and apologized immediately.
"Don't think too much about some things. Do you think someone can steal Dumbledore's things that he put in the school, or do you plan to take advantage of them?" Hagrid looked at the three of them with a critical eye. "I'll tell you about other things."
I don’t want to say it, but I don’t want you to doubt Dumbledore’s judgment, that would only insult your IQ.”
Harry originally had something to say, but after seeing Hagrid's gaze, he felt a little guilty and quickly shut up. The expressions on Hermione and Ron's faces were a little embarrassed.
