Change the world from Hogwarts

Without any hesitation, Connor gave his answer.

"Actually, I think the Ministry of Magic is the source of the problem rather than the Board of Directors... After all, considering the operation of the school, the Board of Directors will never want the college to shut down completely because of this matter, even if it has interests.

They just want you to stay away from school for a while, but the Ministry of Magic is different. To the entire Hogwarts, they are actually outsiders."

As for why I say this, it is because as the only wizarding school in the UK and even surrounding areas, Hogwarts itself enjoys a very high right to speak.

And with the most powerful wizard in the world serving as the principal, not even the Ministry of Magic can put its hands into the school.

Not just students, but also property belonging to the school itself - such as the Forbidden Forest.

"Let's not discuss what Voldemort himself wants to do. Just the intervention of the Ministry of Magic will definitely cause a panic in the whole school."

This is actually something that is completely on the table.

Even if we don't discuss the so-called conflict of interests and simply regard the Ministry of Magic as an impartial law enforcement agency, there is no way around the Forbidden Forest.

"Even if normal processing procedures are followed, these invading werewolves will inevitably be dealt with, and those werewolves in the Forbidden Forest who have almost given up their identities as humans and wizards will also be captured."

"You think the Ministry of Magic would do such a thing?"

"What do you think, principal? What I'm talking about here is just the situation of impartial law enforcement, and the reality is obviously not going to be like this - it will get worse."

Connor said calmly.

"I found werewolf cubs in that forest... They are real wolves, the children of the full moon born when the werewolf went crazy during the full moon. They are humane, have beautiful fur, and even have strong resistance to magic.

Sex, and I think that alone would drive countless wizards crazy."

"..."

"I have every reason to believe that wizards... or all humans will come like sharks smelling blood. They may not care about the oil and water in it, but they will definitely come to take a bite... take such a bite

It’s all worth it.”

"So in order to avoid this situation, I must set an example."

The principal's words silenced Connor.

He knew that Dumbledore's words already represented his approval.

At this moment, Connor could clearly see a trace of fatigue on Dumbledore's face.

Maybe it's because it's too late now, or maybe it's because the burden on his shoulders is a bit heavy, and the old principal's body is a bit thin.

His body was still upright when sitting on the chair, but for some reason, Connor always felt like he was curled up in the chair.

"headmaster?"

He couldn't help but ask.

The principal laughed, as if the silence before was all an illusion.

"Connor."

He called softly, and there was a kind of sincerity under the half-moon lenses.

"I have a request."

There was no bossy attitude or commanding tone. The great white wizard even lowered his posture and put the 11-year-old child in front of him in an equal position to himself.

"...Is there anything you can say?"

Comparing the age and experience of both parties, Connor couldn't help but shudder.

"Anyway, during this period, I will definitely stay in school... Anyway, I have no other place to go."

"I once told you that I hid something in the corridor next to the fourth floor."

"Well, Voldemort seems to want those."

"Yes, because it's the Philosopher's Stone."

"The Philosopher's Stone...is it the Philosopher's Stone I know? The highest masterpiece of alchemy?"

"Yes."

"so."

Connor nodded slowly, and he did not show any interest or surprise because of this.

Alchemy was interesting, but the attraction of the Philosopher's Stone itself was just that in his opinion.

And maybe the only interesting thing is that thing.

"I heard that the magic stone contains the secret of immortality."

"Immortality is true, immortality is false. I am fortunate enough to have witnessed the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone."

"Oh yes, I remember that the book I borrowed said that Mr. Flamel once provided you with intellectual help."

"Yes, that was a very happy time for me. I didn't have to worry about other things at all, just immersed in the study of fire dragons."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

Gradually, he seemed to have regained his naughty attitude.

"Besides, I heard from Irma. She has been complaining that you would try some dangerous magic experiments."

"You should know the specific facts. For me, these so-called experiments are the education I received, and they are all in the past tense."

"Yes, an extremely profound natural mystery."

Then, the brief greetings came to an abrupt end.

The old man and the young man fell into a strange silence, as if they had nothing to talk about.

After a while, Connor stretched out and reopened the topic:

"So, what do you want me to do?"

Without any other mincing words, he asked about this crucial matter.

Then, Dumbledore slowly placed a stone on the table.

It was a red crystal, like blood condensed.

It seems unique, but in fact it presents a harmonious beauty that is difficult to describe in words with everything around it.

It has never dried up and still exudes a unique atmosphere to this day.

"Is this the Philosopher's Stone?"

"This is the Philosopher's Stone."

"Then you want to give it to me for safekeeping? I'm being targeted by him now."

Playing with the stone in his hand, Connor shrugged helplessly.

"I know, so I'll look for an opportunity to put it in that mirror you saw."

"Mirror of Erised?"

"Yes, and when the time comes, I hope you can find a way to bring the mirror deep under the trap door. The arrangements of other teachers have been completed. This is the last step."

Layers of protection?

No, it should be said that it is more or less a level of trial.

"Principal, can you do this kind of thing yourself? I still remember your superb shrinking spell. For example, now, you can put that mirror over."

"That mirror still has its use. The child has just discovered its existence."

That child refers to...

"Is it Harry?"

"Yes, Harry needs to learn to overcome his longing. He needs to realize that it is an illusion... He needs to learn to restrain his desires and put his longing into reality."

"So, you are indeed following a training policy."

Connor said.

"But what I'm curious about is...does Potter have any characteristics? It deserves your attention, principal. In fact, he..."

Connor subconsciously lengthened his tone.

"He's actually quite ordinary, isn't he?"
