The cabin at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest is the residence of Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts.
At this moment, this mixed-race giant, who is more than three and a half meters tall, is clumsily making tea for the three little ones who suddenly visited him, and also took out his only special snack "rock skin cake".
However, considering how hard this thing was, it was even scarier than the legendary "hardware mooncake", so Hermione, who has dentist parents, just squeezed it lightly and immediately put it back on the plate calmly.p>
Maybe it was because the Quidditch match had just ended, so both Harry and Ron were in a very high state of mind.
Especially the latter, who is talking endlessly about what he saw.
"It was Snape who did it! Hermione and I both saw it! He was staring at the broom, mumbling, and must have been chanting a spell."
"Nonsense! Why would Snape do that?" Hagrid immediately retorted.
As a close confidant of Dumbledore, he knew very well how much the principal trusted and favored Snape, and he also knew a little about the grudges between Snape and Harry's parents.
So if there is anyone in this school who least wants to see something happen to Harry, Snape is definitely one of them.
But unfortunately, children always only believe what they see.
Moreover, coupled with Snape's usual bad attitude towards Gryffindor students and his gloomy personality, he doesn't look like a "good person" in any way.
So after exchanging glances with Hermione and Ron, Harry finally couldn't help but explain: "Because I discovered some of his secrets. On Halloween, Snape wanted to pass the big dog with three heads.
, but was bitten hard. We think he wanted to steal something under the trap door."
"Damn it! How do you know Lu Wei with three heads?"
Hagrid was obviously so surprised that he spilled some tea in his hand and quickly picked up a rag to wipe it.
"Luwei with three heads? That dog has a name!"
Ron was stunned, and at the same time he began to realize that something seemed a little wrong.
Hagrid stammered in response: "Uh... yes. I bought it from a Greek I met in the bar last year, and later lent it to Dumbledore to guard..."
"Guarding what?" Harry asked impatiently.
"Okay, don't ask anymore, that's a secret, understand?"
Hagrid interrupted the curiosity of these little guys in a very rude way.
Although he is not smart, he also knows that things like the Philosopher's Stone are definitely not something first-year students should know.
But Harry obviously had no intention of giving up, and immediately argued: "But Snape wants to steal that thing!"
Hagrid shook his head vigorously: "Impossible. Snape is a professor at Hogwarts, and he would never do such a thing."
"Then why did Snape cast a spell on Harry? I saw this with my own eyes. When I lit his robes with a fire spell, the uncontrollable broom disappeared immediately. I read it in a book
, if a wizard wants to cast a curse on someone or something, then he must stare firmly at the target. Snape happened to be staring at Harry at the time, and he didn't even blink."p>
Hermione frowned and gave the evidence she observed.
From the girl's point of view, this can almost be regarded as "taking the stolen goods together".
According to the laws of the Muggle world, you can be directly arrested and sentenced for attempted murder.
Unfortunately, Hagrid did not believe the words of a child, especially a child from a Muggle family, so he interrupted impatiently: "I'll say it again, you are all wrong.
There must be some misunderstanding.
Although I don't know why Harry's broom behaved abnormally, it is absolutely impossible for Snape to want to kill a student.
Now, you three immediately forget about that big dog and everything related to this matter.
Because this is very dangerous, related to Professor Dumbledore and Nico Flamel..."
"Nicholas Flamel?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, but then her eyes shone slightly. "I seemed to have heard Soth mention this name not long ago!"
"Who is he?" Harry asked quickly.
"I don't remember clearly. But we can ask him."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now."
In the blink of an eye, the three little guys dropped the teacups in their hands and ran out of the hunting lodge towards the castle.
Hagrid, on the other hand, sat there sulking at himself for accidentally revealing the secret.
But he obviously didn't know that all this was expected by Dumbledore, and it was even the most important part of the plan.
After about half an hour, Hermione finally rushed into the room on the third floor with Harry and Ron.
As soon as she crossed the threshold, she immediately asked at a very fast speed: "Soss, have you ever mentioned a person named Nico Flamel before?"
"Um, yes. Any questions?"
Zuo Simitou stopped the experiment he was doing and raised his head to look at the three silly children who were easily induced by Dumbledore like puppets on strings.
"Who is he? What does he have to do with our principal Dumbledore?" Harry couldn't help but interjected.
Because he is really too curious now about what important things the big dog with three heads, Lu Wei, is guarding, so much so that a professor like Snape wants to get it.
"Nicolas Flamel, one of the most famous alchemists born in the fourteenth century, is also the oldest known wizard.
He is about six hundred years old this year. He graduated from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which also has a long history. He is a good friend of our principal.
One of the most famous achievements is the creation of the only magic stone.
This top-notch alchemical creation can not only turn other metals into gold, but also refine the elixir of life.
His deeds are generally recorded in various historical books.

Even the chocolate frog wizard cards that you often eat as snacks have many records in this regard.
If I remember correctly, one of the chocolate frogs you ate on the train was one of Dumbledore, and it included some of his and Nico Flamel's exploits."
Zuo Si straightforwardly gave all the information about the alchemist.
In other words, this was originally a clue that Dumbledore deliberately left for the "savior" Harry to pursue.
But he didn't quite understand why the old man was so determined to let a child take on the task of destroying Voldemort, even at the cost of his own death.
Isn’t it just a Horcrux?
Resurrect and kill once, wouldn't it be nice to destroy the one you find?
Why go to all this trouble.
Anyway, with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore could live for hundreds or even thousands of years like Nico Flamel, slowly consuming Voldemort to see who could consume him to death in the end.
You must know that the more you do things like tearing apart your soul, the more serious the consequences and costs will be.
No living soul can divide indefinitely.
Therefore, when Voldemort tore his soul apart to an unsustainable level by creating Horcruxes, his own soul would collapse instantly and disappear from this world forever.
In the end, Zuo Si could only classify Dumbledore's behavior as his vision was not high enough and he did not fully understand the essence of life and soul.
After all, the wizards in this world still don’t even understand what death is, let alone come back from the dead in the true sense.
Therefore, it is understandable to have instinctive awe and fear for things like Horcruxes.
But in Zuo Si's view, the so-called Horcrux is just an inferior version of the Lich's Life Box, and may not be as good as the Lich's Life Box.
Because the phylactery at least retains the lich's soul completely, while the horcrux only retains a small fragment of the soul.
Perhaps the Shattered Phylactery technique invented by Ovo, the great arcanist who became the Fat Mansion Lich, may have adopted a similar idea.
However, as he is so proficient in necromancy magic, he should not do such an extremely stupid thing as tearing his own soul apart. Instead, he will make each phylactery a container that can preserve the soul.
When one of them is destroyed, the soul will be immediately transferred to the other phylactery, thereby achieving the goal of never dying even if only one phylactery is not destroyed.
"Alchemist? Philosopher's stone? Can transform metals into gold and prepare elixirs of immortality?" Harry had a look of realization on his face. "Damn it! I think I understand why Snape wants it."p>
Ron, who always looked silly, nodded and agreed: "That's right! Who wouldn't want to get such a powerful treasure?"
"Sorry to bother you, do you really doubt that Professor Snape would steal the Philosopher's Stone for money and the elixir of life? In other words, do you really understand Severus Snape's reputation in the wizarding world?"
Zuo Si was instantly amused by their stupidity and self-righteousness.
