"You mean Snape was bitten because he wanted to get the thing Cerberus was guarding?"
"Hmm, judging by the size, it should have been that Cerberus, but it wasn't deep enough. Maybe he was wearing thick pants?"
"Uh… it could also be Protego," Neville added.
"Oh… is that so?" Harry looked a bit awkward.
"But I remember Professor Kaisen also said that he knocked out that Cerberus. Maybe the trapdoor really was just a coincidence?" Hermione frowned.
"Perhaps Professor Kaisen is also one of the guardians of that thing, and he went to check at the time?" Neville said.
"...Why don't we just go ask Professor Kaisen, what do you guys think?"
.....
"Is this why you're here?"
Kaisen poured red tea for the four Little Wizardss in front of him.
Because the previous green tea was indeed a bit bitter.
"Yes, that Snape is definitely suspicious!" Harry said earnestly.
"Don't worry, he's not suspicious. And, uh, show some respect, Professor Snape, that's how you say it."
"Alright, Professor Snape is definitely suspicious."
"...Just because of that wound? I can explain. The mechanism guarding that thing is a series of mechanisms. Many Professors, including me, Snape, and Professor McGonagall, all have a part. At that time, Snape and I jointly designed a mechanism. He was bitten by Cerberus accidentally when he went with me to adjust the mechanism."
"And not those conspiracy theories you're talking about."
The four little ones fell silent. Soon, Harry found a new clue: "Then Professor, who removed the protective magic from the Quidditch ball and our brooms?"
"I know, but I can't say, because if that guy knows you're investigating him, he will really kill people."
"He, first of all, he's a male. Professor Kaisen, you still say it's not Snape... This is easy to guess, after all, there aren't many people in total." Hermione took a sip of red tea and complained.
"Because this matter was Dumbledore's impulsive decision. To be honest, I've always disagreed with such absurd things... Anyway... never mind, Dumbledore, ah..."
"It's Dumbledore!" × 4
"Ah... huh? No, where did you guys get that idea?" Kaisen said with a strange look.
"Oh, that's good."
"I wasn't talking about Dumbledore, but rather my anger at Dumbledore's behavior of not dealing with a Dark Wizard inside Hogwarts, so I complained. As for the real Dark Wizard, to be honest, instead of you guys investigating blindly, I might as well tell you directly, so you can stay far away from him."
Kaisen said so, but he also knew that for these daring Gryffindor Little Wizardss, it would be impossible for them to stay far away from the Dark Wizard as he said.
They would only investigate more frantically.
However, since the so-called Principal, Dumbledore, had already spoken, saying that justice would surely defeat evil, and Lord Voldemort must be killed by Harry, and Harry was absolutely going to confront Quirrell or Lord Voldemort, then it was better to reveal a little clue to him in advance, as a precaution.
At least it wouldn't lead to them hitting a dead end in their investigation and having to helplessly ask Quirrell: "Professor Quirrell, there's a Dark Wizard in Hogwarts, do you know who it is?"
That would be ridiculous.
Damn prophecy, what kind of nonsense is that!
"Quirinus Quirrell," he said.
"Professor Quirrell? The one who stutters when he lectures and smells of garlic?" Ron was the first to disbelieve.
"Uh-huh, I'm sorry to tell you, it's him," Kaisen shrugged.
"But, Professor Quirrell, he's… like that?" Hermione frowned: "Professor, are you sure this isn't just something you made up to distract us?"
"Do bad guys have 'bad guy' written on their faces? Like me, if I didn't say it, would you know that I actually have to eat four Little Wizardss every day to maintain my youthful appearance?"
"...Alright, I know that joke is cold."
"Uh, actually it's quite funny, Professor, it's funny when you say it," Harry twitched the corner of his mouth and complained.
"Don't mind this joke. You just need to know that Quirrell is not a good person, and it's best to stay far away from him."
"But... but I still don't understand, what bad things can Professor Quirrell do, looking like that?" Ron said with a frown.
"Plenty? For example, the Troll on Halloween night, guess who let it in," Kaisen said, raising his eyelids.
"That was Quirrell?"
"Uh-huh, now that I've made this clear to you, I also ask you to promise me that this matter is currently under Dumbledore's control, and there's no need for you first-year little ones to interfere. So I sincerely ask you, stay away from Quirrell when you're not in class!" Kaisen nagged earnestly.
"But... but I still don't understand, anyone at Hogwarts is more likely than Quirrell, even that old Filch. At least his tone really has a kind of hatred that wants to strangle me." Ron looked at the ceiling made of dark oak planks, somewhat puzzled.
"You can ask your brothers, the Weasley Twins. You can ask them what kind of person Professor Quirrell used to be, what kind of person he is now, and why he changed from being a positive Wizard to this… strange appearance," Kaisen gave them a hint.
"We will, Professor," Neville said.
"Whether you will or not, I hope you will," Kaisen sighed.
.....
After sending the four little ones away, Kaisen sat on the sofa for a while, drank the remaining tea in the teapot, and then walked out of the office, heading straight for the Headmaster's office.
"Lemon Sherbet."
The two stone statues outside the Headmaster's office door parted, and Dumbledore had already prepared two cups of green tea.
After all, Dumbledore knew Kaisen didn't like sweet things, and he always couldn't help but put sugar in the red tea when he made it.
"Thank you for considering my taste," Kaisen took a sip of green tea and said.
"Uh-huh, is there anything?"
"It's Harry and the other three. They found out there's a Dark Wizard inside Hogwarts, and after they came to ask me, I confessed in order to prevent them from doing anything unnecessary that might get them into trouble."
"Confessed?"
"I exposed Quirrell," Kaisen admitted.
