It's almost April now.

Since their last conversation, Draco and Ron have pretended not to hear and refused to communicate whenever Harry mentions Voldemort.

The weather gradually became hot and humid, and despite Harry's occasional inquiries, Fluffy was still alive and well behind that locked door.

The only change was that Quirrell's complexion had been getting better and better since Harry and the others were put in confinement last time.

This made Draco and Ron wonder if Harry's statement was correct.

But on April 7th, which is next weekend, Easter will arrive soon.

The joy of the approaching holiday made them forget everything else. After all, Dumbledore was there to handle everything.

Ron, born into a family of die-hard Dumbledore fans, and Draco, a second-generation Death Eaters, both believe that everything is in Dumbledore's hands.

Sure enough, in the past two months, Quirrell's complexion has improved a little, but everything else has remained unchanged.

Our protagonist, Ryan, is also immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the upcoming holiday.

He would disappear almost every day whenever he had free time, chatting with Penelope and Kate about how to celebrate Easter.

After all, in the original book, the Easter holiday was only mentioned briefly, and it was during this time that Hagrid obtained and hatched the baby dragon Norbert.

Now, Quirrell has drunk the Unicorn Blood two months earlier than planned, and Harry and Quirrell have met in the Forbidden Forest ahead of schedule.

So, will Quirrell go to steal the Philosopher's Stone again around the second week of June?

Could it be this Easter?

The Easter holiday lasts for two weeks.

One semester, not counting the more than three-month vacation after the end of the previous semester.

During the school term, there is also a vacation that adds up to a month and a half.

Other students might find school tiring, but Ryan thought that going to Hogwarts was a wonderful thing.

However, Quirrell is unlikely to steal the Philosopher's Stone during Easter.

After all, although the exams are in June, which is about ten weeks away, each professor has assigned a ton of homework.

Assigning homework wasn't as easy as it seemed. The sheer amount of homework had already taken a toll on Quirrell's energy. Plus, Ryan didn't want his vacation to be ruined because of Quirrell, so Quirrell had to behave himself during the holiday.

Under Ryan's influence, even if Quirrell really wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone during the Easter holidays, he would still subconsciously reject the idea and choose another time.

Dumbledore would also avoid leaving the school during this period, after all, Quirrell was beyond saving, but before he exhausted his remaining value—assigning homework before the holiday and grading it after the holiday— Quirrell couldn't be finished so quickly.

And so, under the arrangement of Ryan and Dumbledore, Easter began—without Voldemort causing any trouble.

But during this two-week holiday, perhaps only Ryan, Penelope, Kate really had a good time.

Almost all the professors assigned a huge amount of homework, and even if you just wrote whatever you wanted, it would take at least three hours every day to finish it by the end of the holiday.

Moreover, this can't be written haphazardly; research is required.

If it weren't for Ryan's physique, his thinking would have been far beyond that of an ordinary person, and he could have used magic to speed up his homework.

So, it would be better to let Quirrell steal the Philosopher's Stone during the Easter. If he fails, he can avoid having to do homework.

Meanwhile, the other students, including those in Ravenclaw, were overwhelmed by what could be described as an enormous workload.

Harry, Ron, and the others thought their holiday would be a fun one, but it turned into a hell of studying.

Harry didn't have time to think about the Philosopher's Stone anymore.

He now spends all his time thinking about the Twelve Uses of Dragon's Blood or practicing wand movements.

He now even longs for Quirrell to cause trouble, so he might not have to do his homework.

Finally, with three or four days left until the end of Easter, Harry was almost finished with his homework. This time, almost all the first-year students, except Hermione, had been referencing each other's work.

He seemed to have forgotten one person— Ryan!

Harry hadn't seen Ryan among the group doing homework, and given his usually unnoticed magic, could it be that he had stolen the Philosopher's Stone and no one had noticed?

For some reason, he felt a little fortunate. Even if Ryan took the Philosopher's Stone, given Ryan's unnoticed nature, he probably wouldn't leave Hogwarts.

Therefore, Harry still has hope with the Resurrection Stone.

If Ryan really has disappeared, he must have gone to Atlantis. In that case, Harry only needs to go to the Terror Trips agency at 59 Diagon Alley.

He can use that route to travel to Atlantis and find Ryan.

It was a dilapidated room, and Harry didn't pay attention to the other facilities inside.

A monstrous dog captured Harry's entire attention.

The dog was so big it filled the entire space from ceiling to floor. It had three heads, three pairs of menacing eyes that darted around, three noses that twitched and trembled downwards, and three drooling mouths with saliva hanging from its yellowed teeth like sticky ropes.

Someone's there!

But it stood there motionless, all six eyes fixed on it, its whole body trembling.

"Sleep!" A cold, unfamiliar voice rang out.

The enormous, Three-Headed Dog, as big as a small mountain, collapsed to the ground like melted butter, its three pairs of fierce eyes losing their luster and closing.

Then, Harry looked toward the spot where someone should be.

Those were silver-white eyes, cold and indifferent like those of a god; he was looking at me!

Heaving sounds came from Harry's mouth. Was that just a dream?

Watch out for your saliva!

"This is not a place for you to sleep! You'd better get out. Go—get out!"

"You too!" Madam Pince waved a feather duster at Harry and his two friends in the library.

To finish their assignments, Harry, Ron, Draco have been going to the library frequently lately, but today, Harry suddenly fell asleep for some reason.

"Harry, you must be crazy. Well, you have so much homework lately!" Ron said after hearing Harry's description of his dream.

"Harry, shall we go for a walk?" Draco suggested.

Harry looked out the window. The sky was clear and bright, a blue like the color of forget-me-nots, and there was a sense of summer approaching in the air.

But Harry had no interest in any of that.

"Let's go take a look, let's see Fluffy!"

"In my dream, I remember Fluffy's head in the middle, with white spots on his forehead! I need to confirm!" Harry strode towards the fourth floor, with Ron and Draco having no choice but to follow.

Ryan emerged from behind them; he had just sensed someone watching him.

After "thinking" about it, he discovered that it came from Harry Potter.

Then, he heard this fascinating story—a story that should have happened shortly before he went to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone!

Could it be that when he absorbed Harry's Love Charm, some of his own traits were also absorbed by Harry?

After all, Harry Potter never had Third Eye!

Everything that just happened was a precognitive dream, and it was clear and distinct.
