The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 409 The Gap
"Hagrid?"

Albert reached out and knocked on the wooden door of the hunting lodge.

After a while, there were some noises in the room. When the wooden door just opened a gap, Yaya got the dog's head out first, and flicked its big tail excitedly around Albert.

"Come in, I have something to ask you."

Hagrid seemed to have not slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, and he moved the door away with a slightly hoarse voice.

"you are sick?"

Seeing Hagrid's appearance, Albert couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked.

"No, I just didn't sleep well last night."

After Albert entered the room, Hagrid poked his head out of the door and looked around, and closed the door again after making sure no one was there.He also pulled the curtains on the window smoothly.There was a roaring fire burning in the room, the copper pot above it was steaming, and there was Hagrid's favorite rock cake on the table.

"You didn't sleep all night because of Nicole Flamel's affairs!"

Albert took off the cloak on his body, shook the snow on it and hung it on the hanger next to him, squatted down and started rubbing the teeth of the dog's head, without looking at Hagrid's expression at the moment.

In fact, Albert knew that the expression on Hagrid's face was very exciting even without looking.

In fact, Hagrid's face was full of astonishment, he didn't expect Albert to directly talk about it.

"Harry came to see you yesterday." Albert said with certainty.

"How do you know?" Hagrid blurted out, almost without thinking.

"The day before yesterday, the three of them asked me about Nicole Flamel, but I didn't tell them." Albert didn't care about Hagrid's surprised expression. With a wave of the pot, the copper pot that had already boiled immediately flew over and began to make tea automatically in front of them.

"Then how did you know that the thing hidden in the school was the Philosopher's Stone?" Hagrid asked in a low voice.

"Because Harry talked about Nicole Flamel."

"I don't believe it." Hagrid said, "Don't fool me."

"Nicole Flamel and Dumbledore are friends, and it's recorded on the Chocolate Frog card." Seeing Hagrid's suspicious expression, Albert took a sip from his teacup and said with a smile, "Well, actually I Met Nicole Flamel. Just went to him for a few days this summer, Dumbledore took me there, I heard he was in trouble... Well, you know, some things are actually not hard to guess .”

At this moment, Hagrid was dumbfounded, and stood there stupidly, as if he didn't know what to do.

"What did you just say?" He asked repeatedly as if he didn't understand Albert's words.

"I said that I'm friends with Nicole Flamel, so you don't have to worry about me getting the idea of ​​the Sorcerer's Stone." Albert raised his head, looked at Hagrid rather helplessly, and said, "Actually, you don't need it at all." Worry, even if I really have the idea of ​​the Sorcerer's Stone, do you really think I can hide it from Dumbledore, successfully snatch the Sorcerer's Stone and escape?"

Hagrid's expression froze instantly.

Yes!

Could it be true that if he ran away after grabbing the Philosopher's Stone, he wouldn't be able to go to school?

Moreover, is it really possible to grab the Philosopher's Stone and escape?
Obviously unlikely.

This is Hogwarts!
"One more thing, Hagrid, how do you know that the Sorcerer's Stone is real?" Albert looked really helpless, "You already know that someone is eyeing the Sorcerer's Stone, and you will take him out As bait?"

"Bait?" Hagrid was a little confused, feeling that his IQ was not enough.

"Of course it was to lure out the thief who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone." Albert said naturally.

"But... wait, you said a thief, Dumbledore put the Philosopher's Stone in the school just to lure the thief into taking the bait?" Hagrid looked bewildered, he couldn't understand what this operation was.

"It should be the mysterious man, or his minions are targeting the Sorcerer's Stone, so Dumbledore is going to use the Sorcerer's Stone to lure it out." Albert briefly said his guess, "As for whether the Sorcerer's Stone is real or not?" It's really hard to say, after all, most people have never seen the Philosopher's Stone, even if it's a fake estimate, they can't tell the difference."

"You mean the Philosopher's Stone in school is fake?" Hagrid's hands were trembling slightly.

"I don't know either." Albert shrugged and said that this was just a guess of his own. Since he knew someone was going to steal it, why would he take the real risk?
There is absolutely no need for this!
"You're right, I actually..." Hagrid was about to say, when Albert made a booing gesture, and he pointed out the window. Hagrid walked over suspiciously, and opened the window. Suddenly, I heard human footsteps.

He was stunned.

"It's Harry and the others. I was targeted by them when I came here." Albert opened the mission panel, and there was a mission with a crisis of confidence showing that it had been completed.

This quest appeared when I received a letter from Hagrid yesterday. The content is probably that Hagrid had doubts about him because of the Sorcerer's Stone. He needs to dispel Hagrid's doubts. The experience of the quest is only 500, plus 10 Hagrid's points. Favorability.

"You mean Harry?" Hagrid's expression changed, and at this moment there was a knock on the door.

"Don't worry, they just arrived." Albert said calmly.

Only then did Hagrid feel relieved, and when he went to open the door, he saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione all wearing cloaks outside the door.

"Come in!" he said leisurely.

A little embarrassment appeared on the faces of the three of them.

"Albert, you should know each other." Hagrid introduced. "These three are Harry, Ron and Hermione."

"We already know Hagrid," said Harry dryly.

"Okay, Hagrid, I'm leaving first. I'll come over to have tea with you some other day." Albert took up the cloak and put it on himself, nodded to Harry and the three of them, and then left on his own .

"What is he doing here?"

"Discuss something." Hagrid looked like he didn't want to talk more.

"What about Nico Flamel?" Hermione asked tentatively.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, well, damn it, leave Nicole Flamel alone." Hagrid said rather helplessly: "I hope you didn't come to me for this matter. Don't talk about curiosity, That will kill you."

"what?"

"Curiosity will kill the cat." Hagrid said, taking a sip of his tea, "I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"Sorry Hagrid." Hermione apologized immediately, noticing that Hagrid was upset.

"Don't think too much about some things. Do you think someone can steal what Dumbledore left in the school, or are you planning to make it?" Hagrid looked at the three of them interrogatively, "Other things I will discuss." I don't want to say it, but I don't want you to doubt Dumbledore's judgment, that will only insult your IQ."

Harry originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Hagrid's gaze, he felt a little guilty, and shut up quickly. The expressions on Hermione's and Ron's faces were a little embarrassed.
