Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"So, what are you going to do?"

There are seven people who know where the Philosopher's Stone is hidden, namely Ms. Sprout, Flitwick, Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, Quirrell, Snape and Dumbledore.

Later Alexis noticed something was wrong there and knew about it.

What Dumbledore didn't know was Harry, Hermione and Ron. Not only did they know there was something hidden there, they had even gone in.

What even Alexis didn't know was that besides them, there were other people who were able to peek into a corner of the fourth floor on that lively night.

"Since Quirrell has gone in, he should already know that the Philosopher's Stone is no longer inside. There is nothing in the broken mirror. There is nothing hidden at all."

Alexis analyzed

"It doesn't have to be Quirrell."

Dumbledore corrected.

He still didn't want to believe that Quirrell was the one trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

"Well, it's not Quirrell, it's Voldemort, or Tom Riddle's servant."

Alexis shrugged nonchalantly.That's the only bad thing about doing anything with Dumbledore. The old man always likes to think the best of people. If it were the old man Grindelwald... I don't care if he doubts you, you have to Stand aside.

"Since Voldemort's lackey knows that the Sorcerer's Stone is not in the broken mirror, he will definitely find a way to find it."

Dumbledore nodded in agreement and asked

"If it were you, where would you think it's hidden?"

"There are so many places to hide things in Hogwarts," Alexis said.

When they were in school, they went out for night walks almost every week. In this way, after seven years and more than 300 night walks, they still failed to explore all the secrets of Hogwarts.

"In the Forbidden Forest, the Room of Requirement, the common rooms of each house, the kitchen, the Quidditch pitch, the Black Lake, the dining hall, the Sorting Hat, the Headmaster's Office, Hogsmeade, the Shrieking Shack, under the Whomping Willow... too many Yes, the magic stone is not big, I can just put it in any corner, and it will be enough for all the teachers and students to search for it for a long time."

Dumbledore thought silently.

"If you want to use Quirrell—sorry, Voldemort's servant—to find the Philosopher's Stone and set up a trap, it's actually not that difficult."

Alexis saw what Dumbledore was thinking and said

"Since we can't tell where he is going to find the Magic Stone, we might as well give him a target directly."

"But he already knew there was nothing in the Mirror of Erised."

Dumbledore reminded Alexis.

Indeed, even if they spread the word that the Philosopher's Stone was actually hidden in the Room of Requirement, or someplace else, or that they were going to move the Philosopher's Stone somewhere else.This doesn't work either.

Because this news is really baffling to the uninformed professors.

The magic stone is well protected under their layers of barriers, so why should it be moved?

In Quirrell's eyes, this was obviously a trap.

He told them before that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden in the Mirror of Erised, and Quirrell secretly looked at it, but it was not there. How could he be sure that it was true this time?

"We can put the Philosopher's Stone in front of them."

Alexis suggested.

"I did the same thing last time."

Dumbledore smiled wryly.

Alexis scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he did interfere with Dumbledore's plan.

If there hadn't been an accident that night, Dumbledore could have used this to lay a trap.

But on the other hand, if Alexis hadn't taken the Philosopher's Stone and interfered, the Philosopher's Stone would have been stolen by Quirrell.

This seems to have become a paradox. No matter what, it cannot satisfy Dumbledore's purpose of setting up a trap to catch the mole while protecting the Philosopher's Stone.

The two thought hard for a while, looked at each other, and came up with an idea.

"guard!"

The two said in unison.

"What a great idea!" Dumbledore praised.

"Of course!" Alexis smiled proudly.

Dumbledore hurriedly left Alexis' office.

Soon, Alexis was notified and headed to the principal's office.

Also receiving the notice were Snape, Quirrell, Flitwick and others.

……

"Dear Master, the Philosopher's Stone is not there. The cunning Dumbledore deceived me."

In the office, Quirrell said humbly.

"But this time we should be able to get in touch with the real Philosopher's Stone."

"Master, please believe me again, we will definitely get the magic stone."

Last weekend, Quirrell sneaked into the secret room where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden and successfully came to the Mirror of Erised. Then the Mirror of Erised was empty.

At that time, both Quirrell and Voldemort realized that they had been fooled. It was Quirrell who persuaded Voldemort to stay and continue to inquire for information and wait for opportunities.

At first, Voldemort agreed to Quirrell's proposal, but this morning, Voldemort suddenly regretted it.He kept urging Quirrell to leave.

Just now, they were preparing to leave Hogwarts secretly before being notified by Dumbledore. After hearing that Dumbledore summoned them to the principal's office, Quirrell realized that this was a good opportunity.

Finally, under Quirrell's persuasion, Voldemort temporarily agreed.

Quirrell rewrapped his turban and walked towards the principal's office.

He knew that if he couldn't get the Sorcerer's Stone this time, his end would not be easy.

Quirrell walked into the principal's office with anxiety. Other professors were already there, and he was the last one to arrive.

"Hug, hug - sorry, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm coming, I'm late."

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on him. Quirrell's face immediately turned red. He stammered an apology and wrung his hands together, extremely nervous.

"Sit down."

Dumbledore pointed to the chair, feeling a little headache.

It was not Quirrell who had a headache, but the other two.

From the moment they met, Snape and Alexis were like two bulls, their horns touching each other, constantly wrestling, determined to topple each other.

"Okay, be quiet. Severus and Alex."

Dumbledore knocked on the table and raised his voice slightly.

"Humph!" X2

Snape and Alexis stood side by side, holding their arms, snorting in unison, and looked away with sparks of electricity.

"Lu Wei told me that someone entered the secret room last weekend."

When Dumbledore saw everyone gathered, he came up and dropped a bombshell.

Then, he kept talking and continued without giving the professors time to react.

"Fortunately, the Philosopher's Stone was not lost."

He took out the magic stone and put it on the table.

The ordinary magic stone, like an ordinary stone, rolled out of the bag and lay quietly on the table.

It even smells sweet of chocolate.

"Whether it's intentional or not, since someone has entered the secret room, I think we need to be more vigilant."

"I think it's necessary for everyone to take turns guarding it."
