In the middle of the night, a burst of noise suddenly sounded in the deserted corridor on the fourth floor - breathing sounds one after another, footsteps that were deliberately hidden but could still be heard, the friction of clothes, and finally a voice. …

"The door was opened a crack." A clear female voice whispered.

"Look, let me tell you, Snape must have gone in early. I don't know what kind of ecstasy he gave Dumbledore, but he has not been suspected until now..." A boy's voice sounded,

"...If you want to back down now, it's still too late." He added, "You can take the invisibility cloak away, I don't need it anymore."

"Don't say stupid things." Another male voice spoke.

"Let's go together." The female voice just now said...

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, you are indeed here."

A calm voice suddenly sounded at the door.

thump!

"Ouch!"

With the muffled sound of three heavy objects falling to the ground, three twisted figures suddenly appeared on the ground, with a piece of silk and satin of various materials scattered beside them.

"Who... who's there?"

Harry and the others didn't care whether they were exposed or not. They moved their hands and feet back together while hurriedly pulling out their wands...

"it's me."

Baron's figure slowly emerged from the corner: "I am responsible for helping you clear the next levels."

"Baron?"

Harry let out a low-pitched exclamation: "Why are you here? And how do you know..."

"Please ask me to help you, and I also know the importance of this matter tonight. Dumbledore is not here, and the other professors firmly believe that the Sorcerer's Stone is infallible. Only those of us who know the truth can do anything. "Baron's tone was quite serious.

"Both you and Ken were involved in the incident? What about Ken? Where is he now?"

"He has more important things to do."

Baron shook his head and walked quickly to the corridor door: "Hurry in and go in quickly. Every extra second of delay will increase the chance of an accident."

"you……"

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other, and then the three heads came together and discussed in lowered voices...

"Can he be trusted?"

"It should be credible. After all, he has helped us many times and is still Ken's friend..."

"But don't forget that he is also from Slytherin, and Snape happens to be the Head of Slytherin! Maybe he was sent by Snape?"

"Send a second-year student to stop us? He obviously has countless better candidates, whether it is Slytherin's prefect or Filch..."

"That's right, and don't forget that when Snape wanted to throw Harry to death, it was Balon who discovered the problem first... They are definitely not in the same group. Don't blame others the same way you blamed Ken that time..."

"But I'm still a little worried..."

"Then can we get in?"

"...Okay, you're right."

The three finally raised their heads again and looked at Baron: "Then it's up to you."

"Thank you for your trust."

Baron nodded, and then said: "You all know the weakness of that three-headed dog, right? Do you have any musical instruments?"

"I brought it."

Harry nodded, took out a piccolo from his pocket, brought it to his mouth and played a tuneless piece of music. The effect was immediate - when the first note sounded, they could clearly hear the breathing behind the door. Gradually it became longer and deeper.

"do not stop."

Balon reminded in a low voice: "It will wake up as soon as the music stops."

As he spoke, he carefully opened the door to a small crack just big enough for one person to pass through, and squeezed in sideways. Harry and the other three followed suit, tiptoeing through quietly, closing the door and standing in front of the trap door next to Lu Wei.

"Just jump down. There is something below that will catch you. Ken has already discovered the mechanism inside in advance." Balon urged in a low voice, and jumped out of the trap door first, followed closely by Ron and Hermione. He followed, and while Harry carefully stopped playing the flute, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Lu Wei who was sleeping soundly - there was a harp left at its feet.

'Snape is already inside. ’

He couldn't help but become more anxious. After putting away the flute, he jumped directly into the dark trap door. Suddenly a feeling of weightlessness enveloped him, and the cold, damp air whizzed past his ears. He felt like he was falling, falling, falling...

thump.

"Don't move."

Baron's calm voice came from the darkness: "What is catching you now is a devil's net. Once you start moving, it will tightly entangle you. If you are unlucky, you may be suffocated... The flames are blazing."

The bright flames dispersed both the devil's web and the darkness - they could see each other again.

"Thank you very much."

Harry and the others said gratefully, finally breaking free from the devil's net. At this time, Ron suddenly asked: "Baron, do you think you have figured out the mechanisms here in advance?"

"That's right." Baron nodded.

"Then...why didn't he transfer the Sorcerer's Stone in advance? He also knew that someone wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, didn't he? And he could contact Dumbledore at any time..."

"Because he can't break through the last obstacle left by Dumbledore himself."

Baron said solemnly: "Dumbledore also knew that someone was paying attention to the Sorcerer's Stone, but he did not divert his attention because of the existence of the magic he personally arranged. He has sufficient confidence in that magic."

"Then wouldn't we..."

"But you should already know that the person who is paying attention to the Philosopher's Stone is Voldemort himself, who has disappeared for eleven years."

"That's right."

Thinking of this, Hermione's face turned pale: "The mysterious man is a powerful dark wizard who can rival Dumbledore. The magic left by Dumbledore may not be difficult for him. And if he teaches the method of cracking Snape's words..."

"We have to hurry."

After the three of them looked at each other, it was Harry who spoke first.

"Um."

Baron nodded slightly - the reactions of the three people were all as expected by Ken, and everything was going smoothly.

"Hurry up and go through this corridor to the next level. Harry should like the content of that level..."

Baron walked quickly at the front with fluorescent lights flashing, and even his muffled voice echoed in the silent sealed space.

"Baron, can you tell me what Ken has been doing this year? Where is he now? We..."

"Don't ask anymore, Harry."

Baron shook his head: "Until the matter comes to an end, Ken's actions cannot be known to anyone. That is very important... We are here."

While they were talking, they had reached the end of the corridor. In front of them was a brightly lit room with a high vaulted ceiling. Countless "little birds" that are as dazzling as gems are flapping their wings and flying around the room. There is a heavy wooden door on the opposite side of the room.

"Those flying in the sky are keys. We need to ride on the broomstick next to us, grab the biggest key and use it to open the door... Don't try to use magic to attack or pull, that will attract violent attacks. Fight back.”

"I see."

Balon watched from the sidelines as Harry and the three of them mounted their broomsticks and fiercely surrounded the keys in the air, and couldn't help but sigh again.

‘This group of people really didn’t expect why such a strict security agency would kindly provide broomsticks to help intruders. Although this is also related to my misdirection of avoiding the important and trivial...'

'I hope Ken's prediction is not wrong, and Harry can really guarantee absolute safety in front of Voldemort, otherwise I will definitely have no time to take care of it... Although it is a bit shameful to use a first-year student, this is the only way with the least cost... …'

‘For the greater good. ’
