The King of Flags at Hogwarts

There seemed to be no one there, and Quirrell breathed a sigh of relief. "Restored to normal!"

The corner of the wall was restored to its original state.

"Was it because I was too nervous and had a hallucination?" Quirrell muttered to himself. He had no idea that the green light from his own melon-eating had obscured the distortion of light and shadow caused by Poppy's phantom teleportation, and that all his inner monologues had been overheard by a certain little witch!

Bobby returned to the principal's office with a grin. "I've already completed the old man's task!"

Pushing open the door, Dumbledore looked at Bobby with curiosity.

"Oh, Bobby, we're getting more and more... what's that saying in Chinese again?"

"Oh right, it's 'Xinyou Lingxi'!"

Bobby sighed. "Teacher, that's just a telepathic connection. Why did you suddenly start learning Chinese?"

"Haha, forgive this old man, but I saw you and Miss Indigo chatting happily in Chinese, so I picked up a little bit myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know you were cursing me to my face."

Bobby's heart skipped a beat; he had been careless!

Sure enough, Dumbledore asked, "But how come I don't know when you learned Chinese?"

The Occlumency technique was immediately activated, and Bobby replied, "There's an old worker on my family's ranch named Lai Da. He's Chinese, you know, teacher. My parents are the kind of people who can't sit still." Dumbledore nodded. His first meeting with Bobby's parents was on their road trip. "They often go out to play, leaving me alone on the ranch."

"Grandpa Lai is the one who often takes care of me. I could speak fluent Chinese when I was three years old!"

Dumbledore didn't actually suspect anything; he was just curious. After hearing what Bobby said, he nodded and moved on.

"By the way, we were just talking about 'Xinyou' (a place name) because I was just about to call you when you arrived."

Bobby was startled: "What do you want from me now?"

“It’s nothing serious. You don’t need to sleep at Severus’s place tonight. You can sleep here with me. He and Finius have gone out.”

Recently, both Flitwick and Snape have been very busy, but I don't know what they've been busy with. This part isn't in the original book.

"Okay, I understand, teacher. I'll go take a shower and come right away."

"Child, isn't the private bathroom in the principal's office convenient enough?"

"It's not convenient; it's not as comfortable as the prefect's washroom..."

Dumbledore chuckled. "Indeed, that's the best bathroom in all of Hogwarts," he adjusted his glasses. "By the way, I haven't asked yet, what brings you here?"

“Oh, I almost forgot because you interrupted me,” Bobby said, sitting up straight in his chair and looking very serious. “I have two things to say.”

"First, Quirrell's left hand is gone; it's now replaced with an alchemical artifact."

"Secondly, although Voldemort is gone, Quirrell still wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so—I don't need to play the godfather anymore!"

Chapter 26 Bobby: Call Me the Plot Correction Master

"No, Bobby, you're oversimplifying things. It won't be that easy."

Now that you've accepted this task, I'm looking to see results.

Besides, even if everything goes smoothly, you still need to keep a close eye on your cousin. At the very least, you can't let him be in any danger; he can't be playing around like that anymore.

Bobby waved his hand. "Don't worry, teacher. I would have done it anyway. He's my cousin! Besides, Voldemort is gone, and Professor Quirrell is no match for me."

Bobby turned and ran downstairs to take a bath. Dumbledore opened a bag of Chocolate Frogs with satisfaction. Oh, it's Morgana's card! That's really rare.

That's one good thing about Bobby—from childhood to adulthood, she has never fought with the old man for sweets!

After leaving the house, Bobby still pondered why the teacher had said things weren't so easy.

In a flash of inspiration, she suddenly realized something.

That's because Snape's godfather spent the whole night with him on Halloween and didn't show up, which greatly reduced his suspicion as the "Sorcerer's Stone thief".

Although Harry and the others had discussed it, the three of them completely forgot about it after the Quidditch match!

After all, it was just their speculation, not enough to motivate them to take action!

Bobby tapped his head, realizing he really wasn't suited to be a mastermind; he had no sense of the big picture.

While she lacks a broad perspective, Bobby is certainly full of clever tricks.

After taking a shower, she did not return to the headmaster's office, but instead went to the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione is forcing her two useless men to write a Transfiguration paper, and looking at Ron scratching his head in frustration, Bobby really can't understand why the two of them ended up together.

Bobby jumped and landed on the sofa with a carefree gait. It was a big sofa, and Harry was sitting at the other end.

Bobby's "bang" startled Harry, who looked in alarm to his side. Who was this reckless brat?

"Oh, it's Cousin Bobby. Aren't you supposed to be sleeping at Professor Snape's place tonight?"

All the young wizards knew Poppy's nighttime rest schedule perfectly well, since Dumbledore had announced it at the school assembly.

“Godfather Snape said he had something to do tonight, and I have no idea what he’s up to,” Bobby said, pouting as if feigning annoyance. “Is there anything more important than my lovely goddaughter?”

When Snape's gossip was mentioned, Harry immediately woke up from his sleepiness. His head was spinning from doing his Transfiguration homework, but his spirits instantly lifted.

“Cousin Bobby,” Harry said tentatively, after gathering his thoughts, “don’t you want to know what your godfather is up to?”

Bobby found it amusing; this Harry Potter, his emotions were written all over his face, and he was trying to trick others into saying things.

She shook her head and said, "Isn't it normal for the Godfather to have some private matters? Why should I know?"

Harry couldn't come up with an excuse and scratched his head, unsure how to continue the question.

Hermione, being a clever girl, offered a small helping hand to Harry: "Bobby, you know, Harry has been targeted by your godfather in class. We were hoping that if we could help your godfather, perhaps Harry's situation in Potions class would improve."

Although it's still far-fetched, it's at least an excuse.

Bobby nodded: "Is that so? Okay, these past two nights when I was out for a walk..."

Hermione's eyes widened: "Night stroll?"

Bobby rolled her eyes at her. "Is it weird that I go out at night? Uncle Filch won't care. And I won't lose any points, will I?"

Then she pretended to be angry, stomped her foot and said, "Are you going to listen to me or not? You keep interrupting me!"

Hermione awkwardly shut her mouth.

Bobby continued, "When I was out at night, I saw Father Snape appear twice at the end of the third-floor corridor. Because Mr. Dumbledore said it was dangerous there, I didn't go near it."

The bait has been cast; now it's up to the three foolish fish to see if they'll fall for it.

Clearly, the three silly fish didn't realize that this was Bobby's lie. They exchanged glances and simultaneously remembered what they had discussed after Halloween.

"Alright, if you want to investigate, go ahead and investigate yourselves. I'm a good kid, I always listen to my teacher. If he says I can't go somewhere, I absolutely won't go."

Even Bobby himself doesn't believe that. The Dark Forest is called the Forbidden Forest, forbidden to young wizards, but what happened? Isn't it Bobby Evans's backyard?

Bobby leaned back forcefully, using the springs in the sofa back to jump up. "I'm going to the principal's office. I'm sleeping at my teacher's place tonight!"

Watching Bobby leave, the three little ones' eyes lit up; Gryffindors have a strong sense of curiosity ingrained in their bones! They say curiosity killed the cat, but lions are cats too! Snape will definitely go to the right-hand corridor on the third floor tonight!

Bobby left the Gryffindor common room, flew quickly to the third floor, and rushed into that room.

When Lou Williams, the three-headed dog, saw someone come in, he was about to bark loudly, but when he realized it was Bobby, he immediately shook his three heads and started to fawn over Bobby, his huge tail wagging like a propeller.

"Alright, alright, Lou Williams, be good!"

After calming Louie down, Bobby said to it, "You'll have to act in a play for me later, okay? You have to cooperate well. If you do, I'll treat you to beef! A whole cow!"

……

The human body is transformed to increase its height, the disguise Magus changes its appearance, and the Transfiguration technique turns the robe into the Godfather's bat robe. Everything is ready!

The three kids' behavior is really easy to guess, after all, even the smartest Hermione is only twelve years old.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Bobby heard faint footsteps coming from the stairs. She gestured to Lou Williams, indicating that the show was about to begin.

As the three children reached the door at the end of the corridor, they heard a loud clanging and banging coming from inside the room. They looked at each other, all of them filled with fear.

Ron shrank back: "It looks pretty intense inside, maybe we should go back..."

Harry shook his head, clenching his fists as if to encourage himself: "What if Snape is actually trying to steal the treasure, just like I suspect?"

He stubbornly walked forward and pushed the door open a crack.

Through the crack in the door, the three children witnessed a fight scene they had never imagined.

The three-headed giant dog pounced on a man. Although the man had his back to the three little ones, his back, his robes, and his greasy hair were unlike anything else in the entire Hogwarts.

It's definitely Snape!

Despite the three-headed dog's attack, Snape remained calm and composed, effortlessly using his Transfiguration. Stone pillars and walls constantly hindered the dog as he moved freely, casting various spells with ease, occasionally even unleashing spells that the three little ones didn't recognize at all.

Of course they didn't recognize it, because it was just a variant of the Fluorescent Charm, and Poppy was currently playing with the dog!

Snape, having repelled Cerberus's attack, suddenly turned to the door and shouted, "Who's there!"

The three kids clearly saw that face; Snape was confirmed!

But seeing that they were about to be discovered, the three little ones turned and ran.

But no one came out of the room. Bobby canceled the transformation, hugged Lou Williams' head, and kissed him on the head.

"Good boy, Luwei. You wait, I'll have the house-elves bring you a cow tomorrow!"

After doing all this, Bobby chuckled.

After that, Poppy didn't need to get involved. The three kids would just ask Hagrid what treasure he was protecting, look up who Nick Flamel was, and imagine that Snape stole the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect Voldemort.

And our Professor Quirrell will play the villain very well. Everything looks so perfect. Bobby really wants to say, "Plan works!" But she doesn't dare.

If she were to speak, that damned God would dare to ruin the whole thing... Her mouth! She even managed to get Lin Daiyu involved, what else wouldn't that damned God dare to do?

They are truly a pair: one dares to speak, and the other dares to act.

The students of Hogwarts celebrated Christmas in a cycle of attending classes, eating, sleeping, and playing.

Before this, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had a match, with Hufflepuff ultimately winning 170-70 by catching the Golden Snitch first.

Meanwhile, the three leaders of Granger successfully learned of Fluffy's name and discovered that the treasure hidden behind the trapdoor was related to Nicolas Flamel. Harry, prompted by the "law-abiding" Miss Granger, prepared to explore the forbidden section.

Everything returned to the original plot, and Bobby couldn't help but feel smug. Look, I messed up the plot, but I can still fix it! Call me the plot correction master.

There were no classes on the afternoon before Christmas, and the school was on Christmas break. Students who wanted to go home left the castle one after another.

The plot correction master stood at the school gate, anxiously looking in the direction of Hogsmeade Village.
