"Knock knock."

"Please come in."

"Professor, there's a question I don't quite understand."

The fluffy-haired, bunny-toothed little witch once again offered her help.

Tan Wenjie put down his work and took the questions handed to him by the other party, along with a thick notebook.

Judging from the handwriting, it was indeed written by Hermione herself. And looking at Hermione's expression, it's clear that she really did write down her question.

“But Miss Granger, this is something that second-year students will be learning.”

“When I’m trying to find a solution to a problem, I always end up tracing it back to its source, and then it just keeps getting more and more complicated,” Hermione explained. “In the end, I’m left with a lot of questions, please, Professor!”

He was met with her coquettish attacks, her eyes brimming with thirst for knowledge.

Tan Wenjie: "..."

He remained silent, then nodded.

"yeah!"

Hermione secretly clenched her fist, applauding herself for her cleverness.

When Tan Wenjie actually started answering questions, she immediately perked up and listened attentively.

Although her main goal was to find out more about the situation, no one said she couldn't ask some questions along the way, and take this opportunity to learn for a while.

The process of answering Hermione's questions was very easy. As a learner, Hermione also felt that time flew by. One by one, the questions in her mind were resolved, like a blocked river suddenly flowing smoothly. Not only did the pressure disappear, but she even wanted to take advantage of this momentum to learn more new knowledge.

Getting into a learning state feels so good!

"You should also make sure to get adequate rest."

After giving Hermione a few words of advice, Tan Wenjie picked up the documents on the table again.

His preparations have reached the point where they must be completed.

But it seemed like a kitten came over, its fluffy fur gently brushing against his arm.

“Miss Granger?” Tan Wenjie turned his head in confusion to look at Hermione, who was still there.

Hermione asked pitifully, "Professor, can I stay here for a while?"

"I'm sorry, I have very important work to do." Tan Wenjie shook his head and refused.

"Can I come here again to ask you questions in the future?"

"Of course, if I have time."

For some time afterward, similar incidents continued to occur, but Tan Wenjie's whereabouts remained a mystery. Even though Hermione could find him in the office, he would always suddenly leave at some point.

It was dinnertime again, and Hermione was a little tired after a day of classes. The material she had been studying on her own was far beyond what she had learned in her first year, and the increased energy expenditure made her yawn.

"I suspect Professor Tan might be planning to steal the Philosopher's Stone."

The sound from the side suddenly caught her attention.

"what?"

Hermione suddenly perked up her ears.

“The Philosopher’s Stone, Nicolas Flamel’s Philosopher’s Stone!” Ron said confidently when he saw Hermione looking at him. “It’s in the information we found.”

“Nico Flamel? Who is that?” Hermione asked, puzzled. She had no knowledge of this person.

If the library were still usable, it might solve the problem, but Tan Wenjie had already moved the library's books out, and now many students can't find a place to look up information, even though not many students are willing to read.

"The information you found?" Hermione looked at Ron, who was puffing out his chest, and felt that something was not right.

“Of course!” Ron nodded proudly. “We, Harry and I…”

“It’s Hagrid,” Harry said helplessly. “We know about him from Hagrid, you know, Hagrid’s mouth…”

They'll tell you everything after just a couple of questions.

Feeling Hermione's gaze, Ron slightly turned his head to avoid it while saying, "Hagrid said that Professor Tan borrowed the Philosopher's Stone, and that Hagrid also said that the stone possesses unparalleled magic, capable of granting immortality and turning stones into gold." "That sounds really..." Hermione exclaimed, but the second half of the sentence caught in her throat.

“Hermione, we need you to provide more information about Professor Tan.” Harry clenched his fist slightly to strengthen his resolve. “We hope to find some clues about him.”

“Okay, but he sometimes leaves the office,” Hermione said. “He doesn’t allow me to follow him, and I can’t follow him.”

Harry immediately said, "I can give you an invisibility cloak. Once you put it on, you can definitely follow them stealthily."

“Okay.” This time, Hermione nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.

Deep down, I think she belongs to Gryffindor.

Hermione's opportunity to visit Tan Wenjie's office again soon arrived.

After the problem was explained and clarified, Hermione once again used her unintentional charm to successfully win the opportunity.

"Professor, may I stay here a little longer?"

“Of course, Miss Granger,” Tan Wenjie said, standing up. “I have some other work to do, so you can leave anytime you want.”

"Thank you so much, Professor!" Hermione exclaimed with delight.

However, the moment Tan Wenjie left the office, she immediately took out a piece of cloth from her person, unfolded it, and draped it over herself.

The next instant, Hermione vanished.

The only thing that happened was that the principal's office door suddenly opened and then closed automatically, as if nothing had happened.

Hermione controlled her heartbeat and quietly followed Tan Wenjie.

After watching him leave the building, I saw him head towards the Forbidden Forest.

"No wonder," Hermione thought to herself, as if she already knew the answer.

"Boom."

The ground began to shake violently, as if some enormous thing was moving its body.

She tried to get closer, but heard a roar that sounded like a storm, accompanied by a foul stench.

Then Hermione finally saw the source of the sound.

Tan Wenjie stood still, surrounded by more than a dozen dragons with iron chains around their necks. They tried to crawl to Tan Wenjie's feet to show their submission, but he remained motionless, just watching quietly.

Hermione clung tightly to the Invisibility Cloak to avoid being blown away by the wind. Then she saw Tan Wenjie open a suitcase and put all the dragons inside.

Seeing him turn and leave, Hermione immediately chased after him.

"This is?"

She noticed that the other person had stopped in front of a room. She quietly followed them inside and discovered that it contained all the books related to magic, and they smelled of brand new printing.

"He actually made copies of all the books. What is he trying to do?"

Hermione's doubts grew, but she knew she had to leave immediately.

But the noise outside caught Hermione's attention.

"This is a magic stone."

"The legendary Philosopher's Stone? We will fully support you, sir."

Hermione's eyes widened, and as she covered her mouth, she thought to herself, "It's Lucius Malfoy."

She continued listening.

"Of course you must fully support me," Tan Wenjie's voice continued. "I want to become the new White Wizard, create a new Hogwarts! And lead you all to become the strongest wizarding community in Europe!"

"Cooperation leads to a win-win situation."

Hermione pressed her hands tightly to her mouth to avoid making the slightest sound.

Finally, she got to hear the juicy gossip. (End of Chapter)
