So he didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a while, weighing the pros and cons, and then said faintly: "You guessed right."
"Voldemort has not left the castle, and is still persistently looking for an opportunity to resurrect."
Hearing this, Fang Yan pretended to be furious and said, "My friends are all students of Hogwarts. You knew Voldemort was here, but you ignored everyone's safety!"
"I used to admire you very much, but now I feel that you, as the principal, are not doing a good job at all!"
Although Dumbledore is not omniscient and omnipotent, as a great legendary wizard, he has access to far more information channels than others.
Upon hearing this answer, Fang Yan immediately knew that he had arranged an adventure script, with Hogwarts as the scene, and trained Harry Potter as the [savior], allowing him to appear as a hero and hone his courage and fighting ability!
Albus Dumbledore believed in the true prophecy and the power of love more than anyone else, and Harry Potter was the "savior" he recognized! At this point, Fang Yan's face showed some worry.
After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and the worries in his eyes disappeared completely, and his confidence returned to him: "Now that I know this, I will protect you all!"
Dumbledore had a complicated look on his face: "What are you going to do?"
The little wizard in black and red wizard robes demonstrated with his actions what it means to "ask for a big profit".
"Let me take care of it - the reward is that [Philosopher's Stone]!" Fang Yan said.
He doesn't play the Riddler's tricks at all. He jumps right in and talks about benefits and interests!
Seeing the old headmaster's hand holding the chocolate cup frozen in the air, Fang Yan said to himself, "Well, the development of Hogwarts is still a little behind. When I grow up and become the headmaster, my first order will be to install cameras all over the castle."
"By that time, no matter what happens, no good person will be wrongly accused, and no bad person will be let off!"
“Even the common phenomenon of bullying in schools can be almost eliminated!”
The Philosopher's Stone was hidden in the Mirror of Erised by the old headmaster - only those who want it but don't want to use it can get it.
Fang Yan obviously did not meet this condition, so he was frank and chose to negotiate.
The seemingly fantastic statement made Dumbledore's eyes flicker. He said without comment: "I believe in your talent and wisdom, but you are too young, and your current strength..."
Fang Yan's action interrupted the old principal's speech.
He did not hold the wand, but just spread out his hands and began to display the power of obscurity that he had initially mastered through ability sharing.
Buzz...
A translucent energy field that looked like ripples spread throughout the principal's office.
Candies such as the Sorting Hat, Phoenix, Pensieve, Chocolate Frog, and Cockroach Pile all floated up according to his thoughts.
Seeing this scene, Dumbledore finally showed a look of surprise on his face, and said with emotion: "Controllable... Obscurus!"
"I have to admit, I underestimated you."
Fang Yan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry that I will do anything bad with the Philosopher's Stone - first of all, my friends must live a wealthy life, and the Philosopher's Stone's [Alchemy] effect can achieve this goal."
"As for immortality..."
"When I get old, I will definitely be able to invent a method of longevity that has no side effects at all. By that time, the Philosopher's Stone will only be a reference for studying alchemy."
He lied without any psychological burden: "I can't guarantee that everyone will gain eternal life. I'm not that greedy. At least I can let my friends have a long and healthy life!"
"Harry, the protagonist of your [Savior Training Plan], is my friend and an indispensable member of the Fangyan Party. I cannot sit idly by and watch him fall into crisis, so hand this matter over to me and let me be responsible!"
"I am also very curious. I want to see whether you have the wisdom, courage, kindness, and strength to be the successor of the Order of the Phoenix."
The negotiations are settled!
Then time passed quickly. When Fang Yanchen was immersed in alchemy of the Poké Ball and preparing for the exam, some rumors began to spread in Hogwarts Castle.
"The Ministry of Magic is vigorously investigating the death of Professor Quirrell. It is said that he was jealous of the abilities of [Gryffindor Heir] Fang Yan and wanted to kill the members of Fang Yan's party, but was killed by Fang Yan instead!"
"Ah? I haven't seen Professor Quirrell these few days. I thought he was fired. I didn't expect he was dead!"
"I heard that when Professor Quirrell was dying, he struggled and left a last word - Lord Fang Yan is too strong. I'm sorry that I couldn't let him use his full strength..."
"Is this true? Even if it's just hearsay, this is too outrageous!"
As rumors spread, the first-year wizards finally had their final exams.
The last subject of the day was History of Magic.
If they could hold out for another hour and figure out which eccentric old wizard had invented the automatic stirring cauldron, they would be free - normally, everyone could have a relaxing week of fun until the exam results were announced.
When Professor Binns' ghost told the young wizards to put down their quills and roll up the parchment with their answers, many members of the Fangyan Party couldn't help but cheer along with the other students.
"It's much easier than I originally thought." When they followed the crowd to the sunny field outside, Hermione said arrogantly, "The test bank given by the leader is almost all correct! If you don't do well in the test again, I will have to doubt your IQ!"
Hermione wanted to review the test content after the test, check her answers, and make sure she got full marks in all subjects. However, the three Weasley brothers said that studying and exams made them feel sick.
The group slowly walked down the slope, came to the lake, and plopped down under a tree.
Over there, a giant squid lay basking in the warm shallow water, and the Weasley twins rushed over and gently played with its tentacles.
"How great! I don't have to review anymore." Ron exhaled happily, stretched out his limbs and lay on the grass, his face full of longing. "If only I had the wisdom of the leader, he wouldn't need to take the final exam at all - he has been studying [Alchemy] recently and invented a magical item called [Pokemon Ball]."
"He even has the leisure to cultivate [Chinese biting cabbage], intending to screen and cultivate rare mutant varieties."
Malfoy couldn't help but use his natural venomous tongue and sneered, "Your remarks are very consistent with my stereotype of the surname 'Weasley' - the leader doesn't participate in the final exams because for him, even the OWLS exam is a piece of cake, and there is no comparison with you at all!"
That’s right, after sharing abilities many times, Fang Yan’s memory, comprehension, understanding and sensibility have all been greatly improved. Perhaps he still needs a little help from outside forces for the ultimate wizard exam, but he can handle the basic wizard qualification exam with just hard work.
Because Fang Yan was a first-year wizard apprentice who applied for the assessment in advance, the results of his individual exam had already been made public.
Harry Potter leaned against a big tree, holding his head in his hands, and said as if he was reciting a book: "The leader's OWLS test report card, Ancient Runes O, Divination O, Astronomy O, Care of Magical Creatures O, Charms O, Defense Against the Dark Arts O."
"Herbology O, History of Magic O, Potions O, Transfiguration O..."
"Twelve subjects, all excellent grades!"
"This is a routine operation for top students. Except for Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts, I am not 100% sure of getting an O. Let's not compete with the leader. That would be humiliating ourselves."
Everyone was enjoying their free time after the exams, when suddenly, Fang Yan's slightly hurried voice rang in everyone's ears at the same time.
"In order to protect the Philosopher's Stone and prevent the Dark Lord from obtaining it and resurrecting, I am fighting a group of dark wizards - take your equipment and come to support me!"
Bang! Neville was the first to stand up. Because he used too much force, his head hit the tree and a big bump appeared on his face. However, he strained his round face, endured the pain, and shouted anxiously, "Don't dawdle! Quick! Let's go support the leader!"
From the moment they first met on the Hogwarts Express, Fang Yan completely changed his life trajectory. Not only did he find his pet toad back, but he also trained him and helped him find the confidence he thought he would never have in his life - if Fang Yan was in danger, Neville would rescue him even if it meant risking his life!
