Chapter 128 The lonely original protagonist

Because of Ron, the cook, Harry reluctantly came to the hall to eat.

During the meal, Harry's eyes searched everywhere for the Velez twins.

But here, he couldn't find the twins.

Because of joining the Wisdom Beacon, members of the society can freely enjoy magical food. They have long been accustomed to going to the kitchen to dine alone, or to save study time, they will summon house elves in the Wisdom Beacon activity room to deliver food while studying. While dining.

Therefore, it had been a long time since George and Fred had eaten with other classmates in the lobby on the first floor.

At Harry's urging, Ron reluctantly ended his dinner enjoyment.

Sin!

You know, he only ate four chicken legs, a plate of mashed potatoes and two steaks, which was less than one-fifth of his usual amount.

Following Harry, Ron looked at his old man with resentful eyes while enchanting his round belly.

The two of them stood in front of the Fat Madam without stopping and said the password: Dragon Slag.

Return to the Gryffindor common room and climb the tower.

They searched all the third-year dormitories but could not find George or Fred. Finally, Harry and Ron returned to the common room and sat on the sofa dejectedly.

Unexpectedly, the door to the lounge opened, and Harry turned around to see who it was that wasn't the twins?

Harry bounced up with excitement and shouted to the twins, "That's great!"

This made George, who turned to close the door, inexplicably startled. He patted his chest and asked, "What's so good, Harry?"

But Fred frowned and asked first: "Harry, what are you doing here? Have you found the secret place on the invitation?"

"Not yet! No, that's why I'm looking for you."

Harry, who was still decadent before, is now very happy after finding the twins!

"George, and Fred."

"Ron said, you know all the secret passages in the school, and since you are members of the Wisdom Beacon, you must know what the mission on the invitation is, right?"

"Tell me now!"

Harry anxiously asked the twins to tell him the answer. When he thought that time was about to end and he had not found the secret location yet, he felt embarrassed.

"I've been looking for it for five days and have no clue."

Fred frowned, regretting recommending Harry, but thinking of Dumbledore, he felt unspeakably entangled in his heart.

Especially when he saw Ron watching them talking stupidly as if nothing was wrong, not knowing what he had missed.

Fred was angry from the bottom of his heart!

He looked at the two of them and cursed secretly: "Heartless and brainless, what a perfect match."

George seemed to be simple-minded. He looked embarrassed and said to Harry.

"No way! We do know where the secret location is, but we won't tell it."

"Why?" Harry asked in disbelief.

Aren't we all Gryffindor students, and shouldn't the little lions help each other?

Harry's angry look because of George's rejection made Fred's heart explode, and he choked with an unhappy expression.

"No reason?"

George sighed and explained to Harry.

"Harry~ Even if you didn't read the recruitment notice on the bulletin board carefully, you should at least be familiar with the content on the invitation letter, right?"

"As mentioned in the invitation letter, old members cannot help the invitee cheat."

When George said this, Harry didn't understand even more.

The reason why he asked Ron to leave the restaurant in a hurry and go back to the lounge to find someone was to avoid other people's eyes.

"There's no one else here. Tell me the answer. If I don't tell you, Ron doesn't tell me, and you don't tell me, who knows what we are doing..."

Fred really didn't expect that Harry would actually have such thoughts, and he almost laughed in anger.

"Since the society stipulates this, there must be a reason. Besides, even if you don't know, you can prevent cheating with just a few magic tricks. Is your moral quality so low?

Is this how you repay people who have helped you?

The recruitment announcement made it very clear that any old member who cheats will be expelled. "

Fred's face turned red with anger, George pulled him down behind him, and then said seriously.

"Harry, do you know what the pattern on the back of the invitation is?"

Harry spread his hands and said, "What else could it be? Isn't it just a beautiful pattern?"

Fred tilted his head and sighed loudly. George patted his forehead with his hand and asked.

"I remember that when Professor Flitwick was in first grade, the first class would introduce the history of the development of magic, right?

In the ancient times, magic wands were not as advanced as they are now, and there were many types of magic. The classification was not as clear as it is now, so magic circles were used to cast spells...

Forget it, Harry, please don't tell me that you didn't listen at all or just skipped the first spells class of school, right? "

Harry was still very smart, and he understood everything clearly. The invitation was not a pattern, it must be some kind of magic circle.

"I didn't skip class! It's just...it just took too long. I thought it was the professor's opening remarks. Who would remember the opening remarks in class?"

George shook his head and said: "The magic circle is very complicated and contains several kinds of magic, including the magic of detecting cheating. Speaking of which, we drew this magic circle and finally attached it to the invitation."

"And you actually want us, as spell casters, to try the law ourselves?"

"I really don't know what to say to you."

After George finished speaking, Fred added, "As you know, Emma and Hermione were also invited. As the sisters of the society's founder, Hughes, Hughes did not take the lead in breaking the rules, and we old members will never break the rules. .”

"Harry, give up on this idea!"

"Yes~ Harry still has some time, you have to work hard, don't waste time on such thoughts."

"Without cheating, there are actually many ways to find the secret location. I heard that Draco, who you hate the most, has been found, so you have to work harder!"

After seeing that the matter was explained clearly, Fred took George back to the dormitory and ignored his silly brother and Harry.

There are also activities of the society in the evening, and they need to take a rest so that they can cheer up and learn the inheritance magic.

After the twins left, Ron really didn't know how to comfort Harry when faced with this situation.

Especially Emma and Hermione, who they thought were cheating, actually didn't get help from their brother in cheating at all.

Not only that, even his arch-rival Draco also completed his mission.

One can imagine what a blow this was to Harry.

Although the result was not what Harry wanted, the goal was achieved, right? Ron awkwardly changed the topic.

"At this time, maybe dinner isn't over yet. How about we go have another meal?"

Harry waved his hand, and Ron felt that he really hadn't eaten enough. In order not to treat his stomach badly, he ran back to the dining room alone, leaving Harry feeling sad alone in the common room.

Regarding the twins' last words, Harry had very complicated thoughts. Even though he had shamelessly asked them for help, they actually refused without even thinking about it.

Harry had no choice but to go to the library to read in an extremely depressed mood, trying to find clues in the library.

As everyone knows, Dumbledore has been silently paying attention to the recruitment of new members of the Wisdom Beacon in recent days.

As the principal, all the portraits, statues, and ghosts in the school are unprotected against him. This is equivalent to Dumbledore having countless spies in the castle.

In particular, the portraits in oil paintings can visit other oil paintings, which is worth thinking about.

He had seen everything Harry did this week.

Dumbledore realized that it was already the fifth night, and Harry was still as headless as ever. He couldn't help but cursed inwardly: "It's impossible for people to be so stupid?"

"Even little Malfoy knows how to ask the ghosts in the castle. Didn't they also participate in the Halloween party? Why not make use of this?"

After spending a night reading in the library, Harry finally returned without success.Lying in the dormitory at night, Ron and the others were already snoring, but Harry had not yet fallen asleep, unconsciously rubbing the invitation on his chest with his palms.

The night was already dark, and it was as if the moonlight shining into the dormitory had taken away all the heat, but no matter how low the temperature was, it was not as cold as Harry's heart.

Whenever night comes, people inevitably feel lonely, but Harry felt particularly lonely tonight. He couldn't solve the riddle on the invitation, and no one could help him. Even the twins who knew the secret criticized him severely. Own.

The moon reached the highest point in the sky, and there was only one day left for the new exam. Harry, who didn't know where to go next, didn't feel sleepy at all.

"What should I do if I can't enter the Lighthouse of Wisdom? Hughes won't teach me those powerful magics."

He put on the invisibility cloak that someone gave him for Christmas, opened the door to his dormitory and started his night tour.

The destination is the attic. At Christmas, Harry discovers a magical mirror in the attic that allows him to see his deceased father and mother.At this moment, Harry felt that only by visiting his parents in the mirror could he bring a touch of warmth to his cold heart.

Returning to the room where the Mirror of Erised was stored in the attic again, Harry told his parents about his recent suffering through the illusion of the mirror.

Dumbledore, who followed, listened quietly behind the stone pillar.

Harry, who was so immersed in his fantasy, didn't even notice that after he came in, the door behind him opened and closed, and there was a bad old man watching him in the attic.

Seeing that Harry was still talking about what he thought was unfair treatment, Dumbledore felt that he could no longer listen. Just listening to the previous paragraph, he had to go back and use the pensieve to clear his memory.

"Harry~Harry~~"

No response?

Dumbledore shouted his name louder.

His shouts frightened Harry Potter.

"Teach...Professor, why are you here?"

"I've been standing here for a while. I remember I told you last time. Those are all false illusions. The magic mirror can only be created for you based on your inner thoughts... It's not real at all."

Harry didn't say anything, but he was shocked: "Doesn't that mean...he heard everything?"

Social death!

Although the term "social death" is not popular in Hogwarts, the effect is actually the same.

Because all the previous complaints were listened to by Dumbledore.

This is like a child secretly writing a diary, but being peeked at by an unscrupulous adult.

This is something Hughes didn't know, otherwise he would have asked Harry Potter.

"Serious person, who keeps a diary?"

Dumbledore was still nagging Harry to stop relying on illusions and embrace a new life.Little did he know that the embarrassment he had caused Harry had already made Harry decide never to come to the attic again.

"Professor, stop talking. I will never indulge in illusions again."

Harry glanced at the magic mirror one last time, looking very hesitant, but when he thought about his death, his expression became extremely determined.

Harry felt that he would never be able to look directly into the Mirror of Erised again.

His expression stunned Dumbledore, "Huh? Are my words so effective? Could it be that I have also obtained the mysterious inherited magic, the magic that can convince others just by talking?"

Old Deng decided at this moment, should he decide to change his name to: Albus Mouth Escape Dumbledore?

He pretended to be curious and asked: "Then why are you here tonight? If you have any worries, you might as well tell the professor. As the principal of the school, it is my duty!"

Harry thought of Dumbledore's many names and wondered if he wanted to ask Dumbledore for help?Old Dengtou shouldn't be as unkind as the twins, right?

After that, Harry told him about his troubles in the past few days and showed his invitation letter to Dumbledore.

In fact, what didn't Dumbledore know?If he didn't find it too troublesome to explain, he wouldn't even have to ask the question and just tell Harry the answer.

But Dumbledore's pupils trembled when he saw Hughes' profile mentioned in the invitation as 'Kama Taj Mystic Mage'.But he managed to suppress his emotions and manage his expression very well.

"Ok?"

After Harry silenced his voice, Dumbledore pretended to think for a moment before speaking as if talking to himself.

"If there is any place in the castle that matches all the clues of this invitation, it should be only there..."

"Where?" Harry asked Dumbledore for help with the intention of giving it a try, but he didn't expect the good news to come so suddenly.

Harry was very anxious, but Dumbledore said calmly: "You should go to the eighth floor and take a look. There is a carpet there with a troll beating silly Barnabas. The blank wall opposite the carpet should be where you want to go." Find the place.”

"Oh, by the way. Remember to think about your purpose, and then walk back and forth three times around the wall."

After getting the answer, Harry couldn't wait to give it a try, and even forgot to say thank you.

But Dumbledore stopped him, "There's no rush! Harry, you still have a lot of time tomorrow."

Dumbledore didn't know about the Room of Requirement before, but Hughes had taken him there a long time ago, and with his contacts in the castle, he knew where the Beacon of Wisdom was located.

But considering the fact that the Room of Requirement comes and goes without a trace, he was afraid that Harry would not be able to find it tonight, so he advised him to go there tomorrow.

After all, since Hughes has chosen tomorrow as the last day to accept new recruits, then Hughes must have determined where the Room of Requirement will appear tomorrow.

Seeing that Dumbledore had organized him, he didn't understand how anxious he was. This was related to whether he could learn inheritance magic!

"Professor, time is too tight. I have to confirm it now. If the location is wrong, I will come back to you later to find out again!"

It can be said that Harry has not gone through a tribulation and has not grown as much as in the original novel. Now he can't even speak.

What he said made Dumbledore furious. "How can I, a powerful wizard like me, still lie to you?"

That's what he thought, but he promised: "I'm sure that's where it is. It's too late tonight and you should go back and rest. And, how long do you plan to violate the school rules in front of the principal?"

At the end of the sentence, Dumbledore threatened with a straight face.

Harry was stunned. He tilted his head and asked, "Professor, when I met you on Halloween, didn't you say, 'As long as you don't get caught, it's not a violation of school rules?'"

Good guy, Dumbledore called him in his heart.

Would you rather wait for me?

Are you going to use what I said to defeat myself?

Harry Potter is particularly good at using these crooked tricks!

"Then won't I catch you now?"

"I am the principal, and I used to call you Gran... No, I thought you were young and ignorant, and it was your first time breaking a school rule. I let you go. Why don't you know what is good and what is wrong?"

"Go back to your dormitory and sleep quickly, or I will punish you to work at Filch's place until the end of the semester."

As expected, Filch was the inner demon of most students, and Harry felt horrified at the thought of having to work for Filch in Filch's small, musty office after class every day.

"I'm sorry, principal! I'll go back to the dormitory right away to rest. I'll go to the eighth and eighth floors tomorrow."

"I'm leaving!"

The next day was also the last night for the Wisdom Lighthouse to welcome new members.

Hughes used the Room of Requirement to create a reception room, with a podium in front, seven high chairs behind it, and seven corresponding chairs below.

After the arrangement was completed, Hughes sat in the middle of the podium and waited for other members.

Because the first-generation veterans of the society were already experienced in night tours and did not need to move in groups, now only he and Jody, a loyal younger brother, arrived at the Room of Requirement first.

Soon the other first-generation elders arrived one after another, and they were all familiar with each other, so there was no chance of greeting each other.

Hughes tilted his head: "Come and sit on it!"

Penelo: "Those invited students should have found themselves here, right?"

Cedric: "It should be. The people recommended by Bobby and I have told us that they have found it."

George and Fred nodded.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the newly invited newcomers to come together or alone. In a short time, the old people and newcomers from the academy basically arrived.

When the newcomer comes in, he doesn't look as natural as the old man and looks very restrained.

"Don't be nervous." Hughes comforted the newcomers with a gentle look on his face.

"The end time for recruiting new students has not come yet. We may all be a family in the future. You can get acquainted with each other."

The first generation members were like roundworms in the president's belly. As soon as Hughes finished speaking, they left the podium and went down to chat with their recommenders to help them relieve their tension.

Penello had no recommender. When she saw Bobby leaving his seat, she took advantage of the situation and grabbed it.This move made Hermione secretly anxious: "Damn it, this shameless old woman actually wants to sit next to Brother Hughes."

Emma, ​​who was beside her, felt her best friend's emotions and patted her little hand in a funny way, telling her not to pay attention to these details.

Penello, who had just sat down, raised his head cutely and pointed his fingers below, "1, 2...6, why is there still one that hasn't arrived?"

After hearing that one person was missing, the six invited people began to look at each other belatedly.

The old member reported to Hughes: "My recommender has arrived."

"Mine are here too."

……

Only Fred looked stiff and didn't say a word.

Patsy also curiously asked his brother quietly: "I must have been recommended by one of you two, but who is the other person you recommended?"

George leaned over and whispered: "Fred recommended Harry!"

In fact, there is no need to bother counting the number of people. There are only a few recommended people. Hughes already knows the list well.

But one after another new people entered the Room of Requirement, and Hughes could count them on his toes. It was Harry Potter who hadn't arrived yet.

Decorah looked around with a gloating expression: "Hey~"

"Miss Emma, ​​it seems that Scarhead didn't come. He probably can't find it here."

One person has not arrived yet, and everyone is waiting impatiently.

Who can join the Wisdom Lighthouse, the most dazzling club among the student community, has already had dinner early, changed clothes without stopping, and came here.

In order to help Hughes vent his anger, Penello suggested: "It's better not to wait and start the next step directly."

Except for Fred, the other first-generation senators did not speak. They all turned to look at Hughes. In front of the newcomers, they wanted to establish an image of only following Hughes's lead.

As newcomers who have not yet joined, Patsy and the other six people are not in a position to speak out about this situation.But since they were both Gryffindors, Patsy and Kenneth were worried in their hearts.

Emma and Hermione muttered: "It's this so-called 'savior' again, huh~"

Because they were both first-year newcomers, and with ulterior motives, Decorah chose to sit next to the two of them, and naturally heard Emma's words, so he tilted the corner of his mouth and showed a sly smile.

I thought to myself: "Now, let's see how you can compete with me?"

Fred, who recommended Harry, neither objected nor said anything else, and just sat calmly.

In the end, it was Hughes who put an end to their mental activities, "Since the Society for Adopting New Students has issued an announcement, you must abide by the rules and wait until the end of time!"

"If you really can't find it, then you can only..."

Hughes said nothing, but everyone present understood what he meant.
