A certain Hogwarts magical cat

Chapter 131
After Hagrid and Harry left, only Alice and Charlie were left in the cabin.
When Alice finished writing the letter, Charlie drew his cat's tail in the air and wrote:
"Alice, Professor McGonagall may not believe Harry's words. If Harry proposes to go to the fourth floor at night to prevent Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone, you can go too. Don't worry about the danger, I'm here!"

"Okay, but maybe things are not as bad as you think!"

Alice thought for a while, and nodded in agreement.

If she was asked to accompany Harry and the three of them on an adventure to the fourth floor to prevent Snape from stealing the Sorcerer's Stone at the beginning of school, then she would never agree.

But after getting along with the three of Harry this year, she has already regarded the three of them as best friends in her heart,

Therefore, if Harry really proposed to go to the fourth floor to take the risk to stop Snape at night, she might not refuse.

Of course, the key is the word "Voldemort", which may be a taboo for those wizards who have experienced the era of "Voldemort", but for many young wizards, it is just a legend, and it is not so scary.
Especially for little wizards born in Muggle families, because they didn't know about Voldemort until Hogwarts,
And Alice knew that Charlie was a submissive existence who could take care of Norbert, and if Charlie was willing to escort him, the safety factor would be greatly increased.

Ten minutes later, Hagrid returned to the cabin, panting, with an owl in his hand,
That owl is still a regular customer, it is the Christmas holiday, and Ji Wang, who helped Ron deliver Christmas gifts, is a gray forest owl raised by Hogwarts.
When he entered the room and saw Charlie, he was about to spread his wings and escape, but was caught back by Hagrid, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed:

"Don't rush away, I believe you haven't taken it yet!"

Alice handed the letter to Jiwang, and Jiwang grabbed the letter and flew away from the hut as if fleeing for his life.

"Jiwang is really weird today!"

Hagrid scratched his head, not knowing what was going on,
And Alice, who knew the reason, couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling when she saw Charlie lying on the table and tilting his head helplessly.

After half an hour,
The three of Harry returned to the cabin again,
Sure enough, Professor McGonagall didn't believe what Harry and Ron said at all. She thought that the Philosopher's Stone was heavily protected by magic, so there was no big problem.

Of course, Professor McGonagall mainly feels that no one can break Dumbledore's magic and take the Philosopher's Stone from the Mirror of Erised.

And Hermione couldn't keep an eye on Snape, because Snape didn't play the cards according to the routine. When Hermione said that he was waiting for Professor Flitwick, he went directly to the room and called out Professor Flitwick.

"Actually, I think what Professor McGonagall said makes sense. Even if a Death Eater knows the way to pass through Lu Wei, he will definitely not be able to get past the magic traps and go to the innermost part.

And I think you must be mistaken, Snape is definitely not a Death Eater, and he can't steal the Philosopher's Stone! "

Hagrid looked at Harry and the others who were frowning, made them a cup of black tea and continued to comfort them:

"Don't worry, the owl has sent the letter to Dumbledore, and he should be back early tomorrow morning."

However, Harry and the others were not optimistic about Hagrid's comfort.
Because in their hearts, they have already determined that Snape is definitely a Death Eater who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and those magical mechanisms, except for Lu Wei, other Snapes should already know how to crack them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tricked Dumbledore away today.

Until it was time for dinner, the four of Harry couldn't think of any good solution. They could only return to Hogwarts Castle and go to the Great Hall for dinner.

Originally, the end of the final exam today should be very happy, but knowing that Snape will go to the fourth floor to steal the Philosopher's Stone to revive Voldemort tonight,

The hearts of the four of them became extra heavy.

After dinner, the four of them and one cat avoided the others, and in the corner of the Gryffindor common room, they started discussing again how to stop Snape from stealing the Sorcerer's Stone,

Harry's proposal is to use the invisibility cloak to sneak into the fourth floor, and then get the Philosopher's Stone before Snape,

In this way, Snape would not be able to obtain the Sorcerer's Stone, and they would be safe as long as they kept the Sorcerer's Stone until tomorrow and handed it over to Dumbledore who returned to Hogwarts.

For Harry's bold proposal, Hermione disagreed at first, because if they were caught, they would all be expelled, and Gryffindor points would be deducted, and they would not be able to win the Academy Cup.
And Harry directly told Hermione that if Voldemort is resurrected, even Hogwarts may cease to exist, and whether expulsion or the Academy Cup will no longer matter,
This left Hermione speechless.

So Harry decided to go alone to stop Snape and complete his plan to steal the Philosopher's Stone in advance.
But Hermione, who was persuaded by Harry, and his good brother Ron, who supported Harry, and Alice, who had been reminded by Charlie in advance, of course would not let him take risks alone.

After some final discussion, the four of them decided to put on the invisibility cloak until the curfew, sneak into the fourth floor, get the Philosopher's Stone in advance, and piss off that Death Eater, Snape.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer people in Gryffindor's public rest, and the little wizards began to go back to the dormitory to sleep,

When the last little wizard, Lee Jordan, yawned and stretched out of the common room, Harry hurried back to the dormitory, bringing the invisibility cloak and the flute that Hagrid had given him for Christmas,
He needs that flute to lull Lu Wei to sleep to pass the first level.

An invisibility cloak that can completely hide adult wizards, covering four people and one cat, perfectly hiding their figures,
Just like that, the four of them left the common room and walked quietly towards the fourth floor.

They didn't meet a single person on the way, but they met Mrs. Norris who was on patrol.
It's just that Mrs. Norris seemed to smell something, and immediately ran away in fright.

When they came to the door of the last room in the corridor on the fourth floor, they found that the wooden door was not locked, but half open.
This meant that Snape had gone in before them.

"If you want to retreat now, I don't blame you, and you can take the invisibility cloak away, I don't need it anymore."

Harry knew that this unexpected situation was much more dangerous than his previous plan, because it meant that they might face the big devil Snape head-on.

Ron, Hermione, and Alice all shook their heads, obviously making up their minds.

At this moment, Charlie in Alice's arms twitched his nose. He smelled a familiar smell, which belonged to Dumbledore.

With the improvement of Charlie's character level, his physical body is also constantly strengthened, so his five senses have been greatly improved.

He can easily remember a person's smell if he wants to, regardless of his invisibility.
