"Albert, can we talk?"

At the wizard card gathering at the end of May, Harry took the initiative to come over and talk to Albert.

However, the impact of losing points last time was still there, and most of the Gryffindor little wizards were still very dissatisfied with Harry. When they heard him greeting Albert, many girls cast unfriendly glances at Harry.

"Oh, of course."

Albert apologized to everyone present, said hello to Lee Jordan, and then left the hall with Harry.

Harry found an empty classroom.

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Albert felt a little funny when he saw Harry closing the door with a mysterious look on his face.

"It's like this..."

Harry told Albert about the conversation he overheard between Quirrell and Snape last time.

"So, you think Snape learned the method to pass through the magic mechanism from Professor Quirrell?" Albert asked after listening, "Then you came to me to... expose Snape?"

Snape is taking the blame again, which is really pleasant.

"Yeah, we don't have any good solution." Harry said helplessly.

"Go find Dumbledore. You should have done it a long time ago." Albert gave his suggestion.

"Quirrel is too scared to come out and testify for us," Harry shook his head.

"Is evidence important?" Albert asked, "Dumbledore has always been a very open-minded headmaster. Sometimes he doesn't need evidence. At least, if you go to the headmaster, it will definitely make him more alert. I mentioned this to you a long time ago, but obviously you have never done so."

Harry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Don't hesitate. Since you think Snape wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, you should go to Dumbledore." Albert patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Otherwise, it's useless for you to think about it here."

In fact, Albert also wanted to know what interesting things would happen if the famous Harry Potter went to Dumbledore to complain that Snape was the culprit who stole the Philosopher's Stone

"If everything is ok, I'll leave first." When Albert turned around and was about to leave, he was stopped by Harry.

"etc… "

Harry seemed to be still undecided.

"Anything else?" Albert asked.

Harry bit his lip and told Albert about the last time he went into the Forbidden Forest to look for unicorns. He also told Albert that Snape was stealing the Philosopher's Stone for Voldemort.

"So, another unicorn was killed?" Albert sighed softly.

Harry remembered what Hagrid had told them, that Albert was also an insider, and that he had predicted the unicorn attack long ago.

When he discussed this matter with Ron and Hermione, he even thought that Albert might know as much "truth" as they did.

"Firenze told me that he said that Voldemort was trying to prolong his life with the blood of the unicorn."

"Well, I can probably guess it." Albert looked up at Harry and asked mysteriously, "Do you know why people don't dare to call the Dark Lord Voldemort directly, but use the name You-Know-Who to call the Dark Lord?"

"Because they're afraid of Voldemort?" Harry thought for a moment and answered.

"That's just one of the reasons, of course. Another reason is that the name is enchanted."

"Is this name enchanted?" Harry was a little confused. This was obviously beyond his understanding.

"Well, it's under a spell. If you use this name, the other party will know it." Albert looked at Harry with confused eyes and continued, "You and I both come from the Muggle world. We don't have much fear of the dark devil. I call him the mysterious man just because I need to do so. Although you may think that what I said is alarmist, I still need to remind you that if you keep using that name, one day, it will bring you unnecessary trouble."

"Is this a prophecy?" Harry asked.

"Even without prophecy, I can guess what will happen in the future," Albert said. "Sometimes, it is not difficult to infer something that will happen in the future from the known information."

"Then what do you think I should do?" Harry didn't dwell on the question of Voldemort's name, and said a little excitedly: "If Snape really gets the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort will come back, and he will turn this place into a school for teaching dark magic."

"Well, I don't have much advice to give you." Albert thought for a while and answered Harry's question seriously: "As long as Dumbledore is the headmaster, you don't have to worry about Hogwarts becoming a school dedicated to teaching dark magic."

He looked Harry in the eyes and said, "I still say what I said before. If you have any questions, you can go to the headmaster."

Harry was very disappointed. He had thought that Albert could give him some good ideas to solve the problem, but the other party just repeatedly emphasized to him that he should go to Headmaster Dumbledore.

Although Albert said that Headmaster Dumbledore was very open-minded, he still doubted whether he could listen to them.

After all, children's words are usually not taken seriously, especially since their relationship with Snape has always been bad, there is a high possibility that it will be considered slander.

He really didn't want to become like that.

After the party, Fred specifically asked Albert what Harry wanted him to do.

"You mean Harry? He told me that our dear Professor Snape might want to steal something hidden in the restricted corridor on the fourth floor. Potter wants to see if he can get a way from me to expose Snape's conspiracy." Albert was not prepared to hide it from his roommate.

"So what do you say?" George asked curiously.

"I told them that they could go to the principal to complain." Albert said with a smile.

"If I were Potter, I would never do this." Lee Jordan said unhappily, "Dumbledore will think they made up this nonsense to get Snape expelled."

"That's probably the case," George agreed.

When it comes to certain matters, underage wizards don't even have a say.

"I think if Albert goes to see Headmaster Dumbledore instead, it might work." Fred looked at Albert and nodded.

"I won't do such a thankless job." Albert shrugged and said, "You should stop bothering with these things. The final exams are coming soon."

He changed the subject, looked at his three roommates with a smile and said, "If you fail the exam, you will be held back."

"You should be worried about Fred and George. I'm ready for the exam." Lee Jordan patted his chest and said, "I'm sure I can beat Fred and George in this exam."

"Why don't you say you want to crush Albert in grades?" George said unhappily.
