Students who sneak into the office at night

As the Christmas holiday came to an end, the students on vacation gradually returned, and the castle became lively once again.

Most students were making the most of the last bit of holiday time, playing in the snowball fights.

But then, a piece of news spread throughout the school in an instant—

famous Harry Potter from Gryffindor and his Weasley companions were found staying up late at night, attempting to break into a professor's office!

They were caught by the professor's protective magic and trapped all night long!

Finally, they were naturally caught by the early-rising Professor McGonagall, and each of them was harshly docked fifty points, greatly reducing Gryffindor's hard-earned score.

And the professor whose office they nearly broke into happened to be the highly esteemed Professor Tewell!

Tewell glanced oddly at his office door.

The protective magic he had placed there had been undone by Professor McGonagall; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to leave.

"I found them this morning, frozen all night, shivering here," McGonagall said helplessly.

It was one thing for Gryffindor students to roam at night, but attempting to break into a professor's office was unheard of.

Especially for Tewell, who came from another school, it was simply disgraceful to Hogwarts!

"Have you asked Harry and Ron why they wanted to break into my office?" Tewell asked, puzzled.

During this time, he had indeed paid less attention to Harry because, according to the plot, they should have been investigating the matter of Nicolas Flamel.

But why would they want to break into his office, especially?

McGonagall shook her head.

"They said they were curious about your magic and wanted to take a look, but even Filch could see they weren't telling the truth."

Tewell nodded, feeling somewhat apprehensive. "Thank goodness you came in the morning. The protections I have here are designed for adult wizards. If it had been later, the magic's power would have grown stronger, and I shudder to think of the consequences."

McGonagall's stern face twitched.

Did they really need such protections at Hogwarts? Hogwarts was the safest place in the world!

"While it's normal to use protective magic to safeguard offices, I must remind you not to use magic with excessive force,"

McGonagall paused, pursing her lips.

"And about that little devil's magic, while it may not be considered Dark Magic, you should consider the students' physical conditions and refrain from using it frequently."

Tewell pondered the minor devil's magic; indeed, it could extract a small portion of students' wills, but it would replenish when dissipating.

The only issue was that students' magical reserves were too low to support such advanced magic.

"Rest assured, the students want to keep using it, and I don't have the time to cast spells for them continually," he assured.

Satisfied with his assurance, McGonagall nodded.

"I'm not questioning you, but your badges for the students are quite interesting. The school has approved your funding application, and the funds will be available soon."

She had also been concerned that as a new professor, Tewell might not gauge things properly, leading to student injuries.

But now, it seemed that Tewell was far more competent than she had imagined, more suitable for a teacher than some older professors!

Hearing that funds were coming in, Tewell smiled happily. There would be many places to spend money on in the future. He couldn't keep paying out of pocket forever, could he?

"Thank you very much. I was worried about how the future classes would proceed."

"It's what the school should do. But you know, the Board of Governors oversees funding, so it usually takes a bit longer,"

McGonagall said as she looked at the increasingly crowded hallway, preparing to leave. "I won't bother you any longer."

As she left, the smile on Tewell's face disappeared instantly.

Were those two not going to investigate Quirrell properly and instead start investigating him?

With a flick of his wand, he entered the office, rearranged a tighter protective enchantment, then sat down and took out the Marauder's Map.

" everything is permitted.."

Instantly, the map appeared before him.

Though it was only the Christmas holiday, the Weasley twins had helped unlock several secret passages for him.

However, they hadn't used these passages to leave Hogwarts; they merely explored them.

But that wasn't the focus today.

He found Harry's name with his wand, and a voice emerged as the golden light flashed.

...

"Are you two out of your minds?" Hermione's angry voice echoed in the corner.

Harry and Ron shrank back, exchanging timid glances.

Hermione's anger didn't subside because of their cowardly behavior; instead, it intensified.

"You're not properly investigating Nicolas Flamel's matter, but instead, you go and break into Professor Tewell's office. I really don't understand what you two were thinking. If you had the chance, would you have broken into Snape's office?!"

"Snape is keeping an eye on us..." Ron muttered nervously.

"Do you really want to do that?!" Hermione snapped.

Harry quickly explained, "That night, I was taking Ron to see that mirror, but when we returned, Snape noticed us, so we wanted to hide."

"But did you have to run to a professor's office?" Hermione frowned. "And what mirror? Can't you go there during the day?"

"The Mirror of Erised!" Ron eagerly interjected, sensing Hermione's softened stance. "It's a mirror that shows you your deepest desires!"

"It's about inner desires, as Dumbledore said," Harry corrected.

"Fine, desires, but anyway, you can't see that mirror anymore because it's going to be moved, also as Dumbledore said," Ron said smugly.

Hermione gave them an exasperated glare.

"I don't care about that mirror. The problem is, not only have you been docked a full hundred points, but you also have detention!"

"Now, tell me, what made you decide to run into a professor's office?"

Harry and Ron hesitated, pushing each other for a moment before Harry decided to tell the truth.

"We said we wanted to find out if the professor had any leverage, so we thought we'd take a look inside."

"And Snape was chasing us at the time, so we were desperate!" Ron emphasized, as if this could mitigate their mistake.

But Hermione immediately spotted the flaw in their words. "If you were able to avoid being noticed in the first place, why not use a safer method to leave?"

...

The atmosphere quieted down.

Watching the ostrich-like behavior of the two, Hermione was at a loss.

Would she have broken into the professor's office if she had been there?

"By the way, did you see anything in the office?" she asked somewhat sheepishly.

Picking up on Hermione's implication, Ron suddenly perked up.

"We were just about to open the door, but unfortunately, the handle seemed to be like a chain, binding us. In the end, we were even suspended."

"But because of that, we evaded Snape. You wouldn't know; he was passing beneath us at the time!" Harry also smiled with joy, admitting that he had been quite startled then.

Hermione immediately lost interest.

"You two better consider the issue of detention!"

...

Tewell chuckled helplessly as he put away the map.

These three actually thought they were being threatened by Snape, forced to steal the Philosopher's Stone. But he thought of a problem.

The Mirror of Erised became the final obstacle guarding the Philosopher's Stone. So how could he retrieve the Stone from it?

Simple Occlumency wouldn't fool the mirror; after all, Quirrell's Occlumency skills weren't low, yet he still couldn't get the Stone.

So he needed Harry and his friends to pass through, "helping" Quirrell get the Stone.

And now, he needed to offer them some assistance.
