Dumbledore took the wooden box containing the ring, and remembering the curse magic that had emanated from the ring just now, he had to admit that if it weren't for Lan Luo, he would have fallen into a very troublesome situation.
Dumbledore then waved to Lan Luo and said, "Child, let's go back to school." Taking Lan Luo's shoulder, they quickly returned to Hogwarts castle.
Back in the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore slowly sat in the Headmaster's chair and said, "Child, I have to say, you've given me a great surprise. I've never seen a first-year Little Wizard with your courage and magic. But I hope you can use your magic well."
What Dumbledore, a man over a hundred years old, saw today was too unexpected. Lan Luo's performance was not at all like that of a first-year wizard; he seemed more like an adult. If he hadn't known that Professor Quirrell was Voldemort a while ago, he would have suspected that Lan Luo was possessed by Voldemort.
"You are still young, just do whatever you want to do. Hogwarts will not hinder a student's excellence," Dumbledore said sincerely. He had seen too many talented students, and quite a few of them became unknown after graduation. For a centenarian, being able to eat normally was already very good, after all, this was Hogwarts.
Lan Luo was also very moved by Dumbledore's words and said, "Thank you, Headmaster. If I can succeed, then I will fund the school's annual expenses. I believe I will achieve this."
Although Lan Luo was reluctant to make a promise, this trust and support were too important to him at the moment.
Dumbledore also thought of the Ministry of Magic's annual deduction of Hogwarts' funds under various pretexts, in order to force him into submission. It seemed that the Little Wizard in front of him was right, the Ministry of Magic was ultimately corrupt. Thinking of this, Dumbledore said unenthusiastically, "Child, go be busy. If you need anything, you can come directly to me."
Lan Luo left the Headmaster's office and went to the Room of Requirement not far away. He planned to study Floo Network and Auror trace magic networks recently.
Returning to the original timeline, Lan Luo had been reading books on various magic network constructions every day recently. He even refused the three little ones' invitation to watch Harry's Quidditch match, on the grounds that he had reached the most critical part of his research.
With the research of electromagnetic signals in the Pirate World and the technical support provided by Lan Luo in the Marvel World, he finally constructed a data sphere, which was the terminal for all signals. He planned to place this sphere in his future Sky City. Currently, this sphere could receive signals within a 50-kilometer radius.
Protection measures were still needed, as this thing, whether for its benefits or its uses, was very important to Lan Luo. If this signal could go further, then only a few signal sources in the world would be needed. It could also be used to view scenery seen online at any time, receive purchased items at any time, and receive projected messages from friends at any time.
After all this was done, Lan Luo, full of accomplishment, returned to his dormitory. Not long after, Dino came to tell him that Harry and the other two were waiting for him outside. When Lan Luo saw the three little ones again, he could feel their tension.
At this moment, Harry stepped forward and said, "Lan Luo, can you come with us to find Hagrid?"
Lan Luo felt he could go find Hagrid, after all, he was Hogwarts' invisible rich man: "No problem, has something happened? You three look so tense."
Hermione then began to tell Lan Luo what had happened today as they walked, with Ron chiming in. The group quickly arrived at Hagrid's hut, located in a clearing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
When they finished telling Hagrid their suspicions, Hagrid said, "Nonsense, why would Snape curse Harry's broom?"
Harry then said, "Who knows, why did he want to get past the three-headed dog on Halloween night?"
Hagrid also subconsciously said, "Who told you about Fluffy?"
The three little ones were full of questions. Hermione asked, "Fluffy? That monster has a name?"
Hagrid replied as if it were obvious, "Of course he has a name. He's mine. I bought him from an Irishman in a pub last year, and then lent him to Dumbledore to guard." At this point, Hagrid felt he had said too much.
Hermione pressed again, "Guard what?" Ron and Harry also became curious.
Hagrid then said, "Don't ask anymore, this is classified information."
Harry also said, "Hagrid, whatever it is, Snape wants to steal it."
Hagrid, however, disbelievingly said, "Don't talk nonsense, Professor Snape is a teacher at Hogwarts."
Hermione, however, argued, "Whether he's a teacher or not, he was casting a spell. I know, I've read about it in books. When casting a spell, you stare intently at the target. Snape didn't even blink."
At this point, Harry also echoed, "I know."
Hagrid was also a bit speechless, pointing at the four of them and saying, "Listen, all of you, listen carefully. You are meddling in things you shouldn't be. It's very dangerous. The thing that dog is guarding is limited to Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel."
Harry then echoed, puzzled, "Nicolas Flamel?"
Hagrid then said with some regret, "I shouldn't have said it, I really shouldn't have let it slip." After speaking, he turned and left, saying no more.
Lan Luo was not in a hurry. The most important thing now was to build his special mobile phone, so he still needed Harry's cloak and the mirror of erised.
Harry kept muttering, "Nicolas Flamel, who is Nicolas Flamel?"
Hermione also shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Lan Luo then said, "Perhaps we should look in the Restricted Section. Harry, let's go on a night excursion together for Christmas."
After that, everyone dispersed. Harry and the others didn't find the answer, but they got many clues. Anyway, it was also a trial for the three little ones, and they could also go on a night excursion together for Christmas. Lan Luo would analyze the Invisibility Cloak and the mirror of erised at the same time.
Returning to a busy student life, Lan Luo could now create twenty-two clones to study every day. As he got used to the knowledge returned by his clones, Lan Luo wavered between joy and pain.
Christmas soon arrived. That evening, Harry found Lan Luo. When Lan Luo saw Harry's Invisibility Cloak, he happily went with Harry to the Restricted Section. Harry was still carrying a lamp, and Lan Luo said somewhat speechlessly, "Harry, don't you know how to cast Lumos?" After speaking, he took out his wand, and its tip lit up.
Harry scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, Lan Luo, I haven't practiced that spell much."
Lan Luo then said, unoffended, "Then leave the lamp in our common room. Let's go to the Restricted Section together; I've been there before."
Soon, the two arrived at the Restricted Section, but Harry was still scared by the restricted books and screamed. Not long after, Mr. Filch rushed into the Restricted Section. Lan Luo pulled Harry out of the Restricted Section and into the corridor. Lan Luo could sense where Professor Snape was. He didn't dare to get too close, so he could only make Mrs. Norris keep meowing, which then led Filch to distract Quirrell and Snape.
After the two left, Lan Luo led Harry to the house with the mirror of erised. Lan Luo had obtained everything he wanted as a first-year student.
Lan Luo then spoke: "Harry, this is the mirror of erised, which can reflect what you desire most in your heart. You can try it." After speaking, Lan Luo began to analyze the cloak. Not long after, Lan Luo had finished analyzing it. It wasn't very complex: the hair of an Invisibility Beast, plus a Disillusionment Charm and some advanced invisibility runes that Lan Luo had never seen before.
