Is it possible to stall an FBW Airbus in Normal Law ?

Such scenario would need to have at least two airspeed indicators to lie in a similar way to trigger the High Speed Protection.

But then, as Normal Law is maintained, and as you mention, AoA protection would enter the game.

IMO the Airbus would not stall in such situation, but as long as the overspeed indication remains, a tricky battle between 2 protections could take place ...
