Chapter 283 What Kind of Enemy Am I Facing?

Ms. Kaliman seemed very strong, and without any explanation, she summoned the other school directors, and the questioning of Dumbledore began immediately.

"There was one point that I couldn't understand from the very beginning," Ms. Kaliman said. "This is also one of the important contents of this education hearing. I want to know whether the Philosopher's Stone is the magic stone." Is it Gwartz’s property? Is it the students’ property?”

"Ms. Kaliman, you can speak directly." Rashim said.

"If the Philosopher's Stone is not the property of the students, nor the property of Hogwarts, then, I would like to know, why does it need to be protected at Hogwarts?"

"We can understand why Professor Dumbledore accepted the commission from his friend Nicolas Flamel to protect the Philosopher's Stone from the mysterious man. But why should the Philosopher's Stone be placed in Hogwarts? Why should you let everyone The professor helped set up a trap to protect the magic stone?"

"Through the narrations of several young wizards and Professor Snape, we can see that the traps protecting the Magic Stone include three-headed hellhounds, devil's nets, trolls, deformed chess pieces, and poison. Any one of these could result in the student's death."

"In fact, Mr. Ron was injured by the deformed chess piece, and the troll almost caused casualties to several young wizards and caused a riot in the school."

"Protecting the Philosopher's Stone is Professor Dumbledore's own personal commitment and responsibility, but by ordering the professors to assist, is it a bit of an abuse of the principal's authority? And by putting the students at risk, is it not taking the safety of the students too seriously? thing?!"

"Professor Murphy," Kaliman looked at Murphy, "I heard that you warned Professor McGonagall about this before, right?"

"Yes," Murphy said, "I mentioned this when Professor McGonagall asked me to participate in the task of protecting the Philosopher's Stone. These risks are not what students should bear."

"Vice Principal McGonagall," Kaliman looked at McGonagall again, "As the chairman of the school board, I would like to ask you, have you conveyed Professor Murphy's concerns to Principal Dumbledore?"

Professor McGonagall vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she had been upright throughout her life and had never told a lie. At this moment, she said: "Yes, I told Albus, but the headmaster has more considerations..."

"So, Professor Dumbledore, what are your so-called more considerations? What is the reason that allows you to set those traps in the school at the risk of putting the students' lives in danger?"

"In addition, there is an extremely important point," Kaliman said. "Have you expected that the person who plans to steal the magic stone is the mysterious man?"

"What I mean is, did you know that the mysterious man might sneak into Hogwarts because of the Sorcerer's Stone, but you still decided to bring the Sorcerer's Stone to Hogwarts, exposing the students to the threat of the mysterious man?" Down?"

This accusation is much more serious than the one just now.

After all, the danger of traps is not impossible as long as students are given sufficient reminders.

It's not just the corridors that are dangerous in Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest is also dangerous.

But knowing that Voldemort wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but still bringing the Philosopher's Stone to school - and it is not Hogwarts' responsibility to protect the Philosopher's Stone - this is a personal commitment to the students. His life safety was put at risk.

Dumbledore was silent.

He couldn't answer this question.

If he wanted to answer this question, he had to admit that his purpose in doing so was to let Harry face that test and to let Harry learn to face Voldemort in advance.

But this is also a paradox. In the eyes of others, his behavior is pushing a young wizard in front of Voldemort.

And if he wants to explain why he wants Harry to face Voldemort, he must mention the prophecy.

No, it's too early.

It was too early for Harry, and it was too early for Voldemort.

If Voldemort's minions know this prophecy now, when he comes back, he may re-examine his relationship with Harry... That may be detrimental to Harry and the entire wizarding world. .

Moreover, even if he explained his motives clearly at this moment, he still could not escape the charge of abusing his power.

This was a conspiracy, and he couldn't resist it.

Dumbledore now fully understood where things were going. He looked at Murphy with both shock and deep doubts.

What was shocking was that if the opponent didn't take action, he would find his most unavoidable weakness when he did. The method was so exquisite and the means were so majestic that it even amazed him.

The doubt is that he still hasn't figured out the whole thing.

Lucas Bratson, what the hell is going on?

In fact, the fake magic stone was not the only method he used to stay behind the trap door.

The reason why he used the Mirror of Erised was not only because of the mirror's ability to reflect desires, but also because he could directly see everything that happened in that room through the mirror.

Otherwise, how could he be sure of Harry's choice?

How does he keep Harry safe?

When he told Harry about the magic mirror before, he explained that he was invisible in that room. In fact, was he waiting for Harry by the magic mirror every day?

He must keep everything under control.

The traps set by other professors were just a small test of Harry's mind. He knew that they could not stop Voldemort.

The only one who could really stop Voldemort was him.

And that mirror was his window to observe the development of events. Once things got out of control, he would appear immediately to prevent things from going in the worst direction.

That day, when he saw Lucas suddenly appear through the Mirror of Erised, he had a bad feeling, but Snape took the two away at the same time, which made him feel relieved and made him think that at least Harry was safe for the time being.

In the absence of Voldemort, Harry's safety was ensured, so he had no more worries.

But everything that happened afterwards was completely beyond his expectations.

Voldemort could not make such a plan.

All this should not have happened.

All the variables were ultimately attributed to Lucas Bletson.

And if you want to figure out Lucas, you must figure out the diary mentioned by Quirrell.

When Quirrell mentioned the diary, Dumbledore felt it sounded very familiar. He subconsciously thought of the notebook that was said to be the Dark Lord's diary that he had seen in the Wizengamot court a few years ago.

That thing was fake, a prop that Murphy used to frame Lucius.

But what if it had a prototype? Otherwise, why would Lucius be so panicked?

If Murphy told a little truth in that trial, then the notebook might be a prop and preparation for Voldemort's resurrection.

The house elf Dobby said that Murphy took the notebook. If Dobby was talking about the real notebook, then it should have been in Murphy's hands since then.

Following this path, and thinking about the mystery of Lucas Bletson, such as he was discovered by Murphy's confidant - Dumbledore felt as if he had touched a clue.

Is there a possibility that Lucas Bletson is not controlled by Voldemort, but under the control of Murphy?

If so, then Murphy Darkholm had set up this huge and confusing chess game even before the start of school.

And until now, he still couldn't figure out how the other party did it.

What kind of mind is this? !

What kind of means are these!

What kind of enemy am I facing? !
