And the Philosopher’s Stone is surrounded by Dumbledore’s net of protections—he dares not go… but then why doesn’t he leave?

No no no…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save his own life, he slaughtered a pure, gentle, helpless life—so from the moment its blood touched your lips, you possess not life, but a half-dead, cursed existence—I understand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Voldemort—massacre?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the series of shocking events in the Forbidden Forest, Neville finally lived up to expectations and fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting and Harry said nothing, only moved him onto the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He hasn’t killed the unicorn yet; his strength hasn’t been restored enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a calm voice interrupted the tense conversation—instead of annoyance, everyone simultaneously brightened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“En’s back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was the first to shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“En…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Neville perked up his ears and stumbled groggily off the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“En, you’re back—how was the Assembly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting forced a weak smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“En, where’s Professor Dumbledore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry asked with hopeful eyes; Hermione flinched at the name but still fixed him with a longing gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine… but Professor Dumbledore must preside over the Assembly—he won’t be back for two days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En’s words plunged the hut into gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without Professor Dumbledore, once he kills the unicorn and regains his strength, Professor Quirrell will deliver the Philosopher’s Stone… Hogwarts will cease to exist—he’ll level the school to the ground, or turn it into a school dedicated to teaching the Dark Arts!

Yet Voldemort had not yet killed the unicorn—he had only just begun drinking its blood, he was extremely weak, he dared not reveal himself, much less confront the professors directly…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they needed to do was watch the unicorns. Without the Philosopher’s Stone and without strength, Voldemort at least would hesitate now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In two days, when Professor Dumbledore returns, Professor Quirrell might truly be saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the professor still had a squirrel biscuit in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En knew perfectly well the plan had flaws—even countless unpredictable variables—but no plan was ever perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked into the eyes before him—in their hearts, they knew they possessed no real power to resist, knew they might not succeed, even felt their bodies trembling—yet they had not retreated, and would hold firm to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will refine the plan map: if you discover anything, touch its signal and immediately use the Hippogriff biscuit to transform and hide;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will craft five upgraded flying brooms before nightfall—each with high speed, invisibility, and auto-tracking.
