Soon the day of the final exam arrived.
The atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle was grim. Even an outstanding student like Hermione would still feel nervous facing an exam. Even after finishing the exam, Hermione would murmur sadly about the fundamentals she felt unsure of.
Of course, it's hard to say whether Hermione's behavior was seen as nervousness or showing off to others.
In this final exam, aside from the young Hufflepuffs who made mistakes every day, the two people who felt the most relaxed were probably Lynn and Irina.
The two, whose combat skills were comparable to those of high-level Aurors, naturally breezed through the exam for first and second-year wizards with ease.
However, Irina wasn't sure if she could surpass Hermione in terms of scores. Like Lynn, she was a partial student. She didn't have much talent in Potions and other subjects, so she definitely couldn't compare to all the outstanding students like Hermione.
Among the mandatory courses, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, and History of Magic were her strengths, while Potions was her weakness, complementing Lynn's abilities.
After the tense atmosphere of the final exams passed, Harry and the others finally had time to think about protecting the Philosopher's Stone.
At that moment, Harry suddenly noticed a very serious problem.
"Everyone, I noticed something's wrong! Do you think the person who gave Hagrid the Fire Dragon egg might have contacted him on purpose?" Harry said seriously to Irina and the others.
Irina slightly nodded. It seemed like Harry had some brains after all.
Hermione's expression became serious, and she said, "I understand! Let's go find Hagrid and ask him!"
As a result, the four of them resolutely left Hogwarts Castle and ran across the lawn toward the Forbidden Forest.
Meanwhile, Hagrid was sitting on a chair outside his cabin, peeling peas.
Upon seeing Irina and the others arrive, Hagrid smiled: "Hello, did you finish the exams? Want a cup of tea?"
"That's fine, thanks..." Ron was about to agree, but he was interrupted by Harry.
Harry asked eagerly, "No, we have an emergency! Hagrid, I need to ask you something. Do you remember the night when you won the Fire Dragon egg while playing cards? What did the strange person you played with look like?"
"I don't know," Hagrid said casually, completely unaware of what he had said. "He refused to take off his cloak."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione showed expressions of astonishment.
Seeing this, Hagrid looked at them strangely and said, "What's so strange about this? There's always weird people hanging around the Pig's Head Bar. Maybe that guy is a smuggler who resells Fire Dragons..."
Before Hagrid could finish speaking, Irina cut straight to the point: "Hagrid, did you ever tell that person about the three-headed dog?"
Upon hearing this, Hagrid thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I think I did! He wanted the Fire Dragon egg, but he said he had to figure out if he could handle a Fire Dragon, so I told him that even Fluffy could deal with it, a dragon is nothing..."
"What else did he ask? Was he curious about Fluffy?" Irina asked calmly.
Hagrid thought for a moment and continued, "He was very curious, so he asked how I did it. I told him it was actually very easy to deal with Fluffy. You just need to know how to calm him down and play some music for him. Listen, he fell asleep immediately..."
Irina was left speechless.
I guess, Hagrid, you never grew up taking Veritaserum. Aren't you afraid of turning into a non-human after taking it?!
At that moment, Hagrid seemed to realize that he had said something he shouldn't have, and suddenly showed a look of horror: "I shouldn't have told you this, forget what I said! Hey, where are you going?"
Harry had already taken the initiative and ran back toward Hogwarts Castle, followed closely by Ron and Hermione. Although Irina was a little helpless, she had no choice but to follow them.
In reality, Harry, you don't need to be so anxious! Voldemort couldn't get the Philosopher's Stone without you!
In the castle hall, Harry and the others discovered that Professor McGonagall was passing by.
Hermione quickly stepped forward and said to Professor McGonagall, "Professor, we want to see Professor Dumbledore!"
"You want to see Professor Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall looked a little confused. "Why?"
Harry instinctively said, "It's a secret..."
Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall seemed to freeze.
She said coldly, "Professor Dumbledore left ten minutes ago. He received an urgent letter sent by owl from the Ministry of Magic and flew to London immediately."
Just when Harry was anxious and about to speak desperately, Irina stopped him.
"Sorry, Professor, we were rude, we'll leave immediately!"
Irina apologized to Professor McGonagall, then winked at Hermione, and the two dragged Harry away from the hallway.
After Professor McGonagall disappeared from sight, Irina finally sighed in relief and let go of Harry.
At that moment, Harry was very angry. He asked Irina, "Irina, what are you doing? What if you don't tell Professor McGonagall that the Philosopher's Stone was stolen?!"
"Harry, calm down first," Irina said calmly, "Think with your head. Do you think Professor McGonagall would believe that someone stole the Philosopher's Stone?"
Harry suddenly choked.
Harry collapsed a bit: "Originally, we just needed to monitor Snape and stop him from stealing the Philosopher's Stone, but the incident in the Forbidden Forest cleared his suspicions. Now we don't even have anyone who can monitor him!"
Irina said softly, "But even if there is such an objective, with the magical level you and I have, how can we ensure that our surveillance won't be discovered? If that villain finds us out, I'm afraid the other group will be even more cautious about stealing the Philosopher's Stone without anyone noticing!"
"There's no other way," Harry said desperately, "I'll sneak out tonight. I'll try to get the Philosopher's Stone first, so Voldemort won't get it!"
Ron exclaimed, "You're crazy!"
Hermione was also incredulous: "You can't do this, you'll get expelled!"
Harry roared angrily, analyzing what was at stake.
Finally, Ron and Hermione were convinced by him.
Irina also agreed to do this, although she suspected that Harry's behavior might lead to the lives of people thousands of miles away being exposed, paying too much attention to courtesy, but only by returning Voldemort to the state of a lingering soul in this incident, could they spend the next two peaceful school years.
Otherwise, if Voldemort is allowed to continue joining with Quirrell and leave, then Voldemort, who has a wizard's body, even if only possessed, could make great use of the still-active Death Eaters to cause a major storm!
