From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

"So, not only did you get nothing in the restricted area, but you were also caught by Professor Dumbledore because of that mirror?" On the last day of the Christmas vacation, Hermione came back and after hearing about Harry and Ron's experiences during the vacation, she angrily said.

"It's too dangerous, I mean it's too inappropriate. What if you are caught by Filch!" Hermione stood in front of Harry and Ron with her hands on her hips and angrily yelled. The two little boys lowered their heads and didn't even dare to Look up at her.

"We have an invisibility cloak. If you put it on, no one can see it." Harry said harshly.

Hermione's hair became fluffy, like an exploded cat. She didn't expect Harry to dare to refute:

"Yes! Then how did you get discovered by Principal Dumbledore? The invisibility cloak is not omnipotent."

Harry wanted to say a few more words, but Ron pulled his sleeve.

"We have no choice. None of the professors in the castle believe what we say, and Snape is already questioning Professor Quirrell.

We were also afraid that it would be too late when you came back, so we took the risk to go to the restricted book area. " Ron explained with a smile.

As a result, Hermione showed no face and continued to scold: "So you just stared in front of that mirror all night?"

"Well, didn't we finally get rid of the Mirror of Erised?" Ron said awkwardly.

"I'm not worried about you. You have a happy family, both parents, and you're not a greedy person." Hermione sighed. "I'm worried about Harry. Didn't you notice the dark circles under his eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Harry turned his stubborn face to the side, not wanting Ron to see it: "It's nothing, I've been having nightmares these past few days. I often see my parents disappear in a sudden green light, and at the same time there is a loud sound. Laughing weirdly."

"Hiss," Ron gasped, "Look, Dumbledore was right, the magic mirror might make you crazy."

Harry said thank you to Ron, and then spread his hands to Hermione: "Hermione, we have no other choice."

Hermione was furious when the two little boys contradicted her: "At least, at least you should wait for me to come back and take me to the forbidden book area with you."

Harry and Ron smiled at each other and looked at Hermione: "Now that you are back, is there anything you can do?"

Hermione sat on the sofa and rolled her eyes at the two of them: "I think there is a way to prevent Snape from getting the Sorcerer's Stone."

"What?" Harry and Ron's breathing quickened and they looked at Hermione excitedly.

"As long as we get the Philosopher's Stone before Snape," Hermione said easily.

Harry and Ron immediately collapsed on the sofa. Ron complained: "I thought you had some good ideas. We can think of this method, but how can we get the Sorcerer's Stone?"

"No," Hermione looked around cautiously and said in a low voice, "If you think about it carefully, it might not be that difficult. At least we already know how to get through Lu Wei, right? We are already ahead of Snape."

Harry and Ron looked at each other.Harry asked tentatively: "You mean Professor Capet's meditation ball in Hagrid's cabin last time?"

Hermione nodded affirmatively: "We know more about Snape than he would have thought of. We just need to figure out what mechanism is coming next."

Harry thought for a moment and felt that Hermione's method was somewhat reliable.

"Then how do we know what mechanisms protect the Magic Stone?" Ron asked. "You can't ask someone to do divination. I heard that the divination professor in school is very unreliable."

"There's always a way," Hermione said.

Harry stood up suddenly and was about to leave the Gryffindor lounge: "We'll leave now. If we're lucky, we'll find out in the afternoon."

Half an hour later, they walked through the snow-covered forest and arrived at the cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid's hut was still the same as before. What was surprising was that even though it was so cold, there was no fire in the hut and it was still very damp.Hermione sneezed three times as soon as she came over.

"I said, Hagrid, can you light a fire? It's colder in your hut than outside." Ron wrapped his wizard robe tightly around him.

"No, Ron, I'm sorry. I think Mira will like this environment." Hagrid pointed to a small bird squatting on a shelf behind him.The bird had silver feathers all over its body, and lightning flashed across it from time to time.

"Hagrid, you'd better light the fireplace, your Mira is already shivering all over," Hermione blew her nose, "Thunderbirds just like humid environments, not cold ones. If you look carefully at Capella The professor’s book will know that.”

"Really?" Hagrid glanced at Mira dubiously, and found that the little thunderbird had shrunk into a ball and was shaking like chaff, and then lit the fire in the fireplace.

The three of them sat down around the fireplace, and Harry asked quietly: "Hermione, how do you know this is a Thunderbird?"

"I read all Professor Capet's books during the holidays, and I would say his "Magical Beasts and Magic" is much better than "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"."

Hagrid served hot tea to the three of them with a smile and asked at the same time:

"Do you have anything to ask me? Let me tell you first, I will not answer questions about Nico Flamel."

"Oh, we figured out who he was hundreds of years ago," Ron said proudly, "We also know what the dog is guarding, it's the Philosopher's Stone."

"Shh~!" Hagrid quickly opened the door and looked outside to make sure no one heard. "Don't shout so loudly. What on earth do you want to do?"

"To be honest, we have a few things to ask you," Harry said. "Can you tell us, besides Lu Wei, what other mechanisms protect the Sorcerer's Stone?"

"Of course I can't tell." He said, "First, I don't know myself. Second, you already know too much, so even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you.

That rock makes perfect sense here.It was almost stolen at Gringotts - I assume you know all about that?I really don’t understand where you know so much. "

"Oh, Hagrid, you probably don't want to tell us. You must know. Nothing that happens here can escape your eyes." Hermione said in a sweet and flattering tone. explain.

Hagrid's beard twitched and they saw he was smiling. "Actually, we just want to know who designed those mechanisms." Hermione continued. "We want to know, besides you, who else does Dumbledore trust to help him."

Hearing these last words, Hagrid puffed out his chest.Harry and Ron smiled approvingly at Hermione.
