Fawkes's singing stopped, and Dumbledore gradually broke away from that strange state and slowly opened his eyes.

There were still fluctuations of magic around him, and it seemed that someone was casting a spell in the office when he had just entered a magical state.

In front of him, Snape, dressed in a black tulle robe, stood in the doorway, his expression a little strange.

Dumbledore sat back in his chair and asked calmly, "See everything?, why did you come here so late and haven't knocked yet......

"Actually, I knocked on the door." Snape stood in the doorway, not answering his first question, "I heard footsteps in the office, Fox's voice, but not letting me in."

Dumbledore straightened his somewhat messy robes, "Yes, a little bit just now...... Is there something going on? Need to report back to me so late. "

Yes. Snape didn't have the slightest intention of going inside, and said from afar, "That Quirinus Quirrell is also very problematic, wandering around the fourth floor of the castle in the middle of the night, which doesn't look like his character.

"When Quirrell was still teaching Muggle studies, he wasn't spending time in his office or library, not in the castle. I have a question. "

Why did you recruit two strange people this year? one didn't sleep in the middle of the night, standing at the top of the tower and watching the moon, and the other didn't sleep in the middle of the night, wandering around the castle.

Dumbledore coughed lightly, "Severus, why haven't you slept so late?" I remember tomorrow morning, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had your Potions lesson.

Snape whispered, "I don't need to prepare, if those students can absorb every word I say, they won't have to worry about Potions class at all."

"On the contrary, the new course you arranged, how are you going to arrange the classes? Originally, there were a total of fourteen subjects in the school, so the curriculum should have been full, right? How are you going to join the martial arts class?"

"Just now, Kong Nuo and I ended the discussion about the first class. Dumbledore pointed out the window, the figure leaping from the tower.

"The first martial arts class will be postponed until next week, and it will take a week for Conno to introduce the whole student to this new subject. Trust me, this subject will exceed your expectations.

Snape pursed his lips and said sarcastically, "It was beyond my expectations, like some strange and clumsy dance."

Of course, Dumbledore understood what Snape was referring to, and he didn't mean to refute it at the moment, he shook his head lightly and said, "You can really study it, the knowledge in that textbook is very practical."

"And I remember that there was also a "Martial Arts Primer: Food Supplement", which was about preparing potions, and the final state of the potions in it was also different from what we knew.

"Really?" Snape looked thoughtful, "I thought it was more like a cookbook, and maybe the house-elves would love it."

"That's only part of the story. Dumbledore corrected, "Maybe I read more when I was flipping through it." "

There is a potion refining technique called 'Yudan', which condenses the potion into thumb-sized balls after the potion is completed.

"It's more carryable, takeable and preserved, and it's a never-before-seen method that is very groundbreaking.

Snape turned to leave the Headmaster's office, "Well, I seem to be starting to look forward to Conno, Professor Kong's first martial arts lesson.

Dumbledore carefully tucked the Martial Arts Primer into a drawer, preparing to study it again when he had time to do so.

Now Conno is no longer a knot in his heart, but a treasure trove waiting to be excavated. He needed to calm down now and think about what to do with Quirinus Quirrell.

Since Quirrell's return from the Black Forest in Albania, it seems to have become more and more anomalous.

would take the initiative to apply for a transfer to the Defense Against the Dark Arts section, which was still recruiting, which was not at all like Quirrell's original character.

Quirrell was originally a timid and cautious wizard, making him a perfect fit for Muggle studies.

"Let's test it. Dumbledore pulled out a Daily Prophet from another drawer, with a report on the theft of Gringotts.

He walked over to the bookcase again and tapped his wand on one of the bookcase's squares. The lattice slowly faded away, revealing a crystal clear ruby inside.

This ruby, called the Philosopher's Stone, is an extremely powerful alchemy item that can be used endlessly. Not only can you turn stones into gold, but you can even make elixirs.

Nicol Lemay, the maker of the Philosopher's Stone, is his long-forgotten friend and a legendary alchemist who has lived on the Philosopher's Stone for six centuries.

Dumbledore had received rumors that a goblin had disappeared in Gringotts in the Black Forest of Albania.

There has always been a legend in the Black Forest of Albania that Voldemort did not die when he fell, but came to the Black Forest to lurk.

It was for this reason that he and Nick Lemay decided to transfer the Philosopher's Stone to Hogwarts for his personal safekeeping.

On the day of his transfer, there was a theft at Gringotts, which led him to link the two recent accidents at Gringotts.

In addition, during the summer vacation, Quirrell also went to the Black Forest ...... in Albania

Perhaps, there is some kind of connection between these three things.

Dumbledore returned to his desk, pulled out a piece of paper, and took a pen to write a few words on it:

Voldemort, Albanian Black Forest, Missing Elves, Gringotts Stolen, Philosopher's Stone, Elixir of Life, Quirinus Quirrell.

He drew a line between Quirrell and the Philosopher's Stone, and put a question mark on the line, "Severus said that Quirrell was hanging out in the castle, and Quirrell wouldn't have done such a strange thing before......"

He connected the words Voldemort, the missing elf, and the Philosopher's Stone, "Voldemort is still alive, and he meets the elf who went on vacation over there, and learns the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone...... He wants to be resurrected?"

Quirrell had also been to Albania. Dumbledore drew two more lines, connecting the words Voldemort, Quirrell, and the Black Forest of Albania.

The whole diagram was gradually taking shape on paper, and he had now roughly deduced the causal relationship between these events.

Of course, this is just a bold assumption, and the next thing that needs to be done is to verify it carefully.

What he said at the opening dinner was actually a temptation, there was nothing on the fourth floor,

and now there was a suspicious object. Then, the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor needs to really have some arrangements that belong to the forbidden area.

Dumbledore placed the Philosopher's Stone on Quirrell's name, "Child, I hope you haven't gone astray......
