days at Hogwarts

Chapter 27 Midnight Duel

In the dining room, Harry's mood was in disarray, and things were crowding his head.

When he got up in the morning, he realized belatedly, how did Loren know about the three-headed dog, and how to deal with the three-headed dog? What is this method?

In this regard, Loren tore up the bread and put it into the pumpkin porridge, then put a spoonful of honey and stirred it well, and replied: "I saw it in the book, I forgot which book it is." The tone was extremely perfunctory.

After hearing this, Harry just wanted to pin the pumpkin porridge on Loren's head,

"Harry Potter, enjoy your last weekend at Hogwarts, I have written to my dad, who is the trustee of Hogwarts, and you are about to be expelled." Malfoy's provocative voice Sounded, still annoying.

"Now you're back on the ground, and you've got your little friend by your side. You're more courageous." Harry, whose thoughts were interrupted, was not polite at all. Professor McGonagall said that the fault of the matter was not his fault. , He believed in Professor McGonagall more than Malfoy's father, who had never met.

The surrounding Gryffindors laughed at the right time, and the guest table was full of teachers. Malfoy and his two servants didn't dare to make a fuss, so they could only sullenly face and squeeze their fingers.

"I'm ready to fight you alone anytime," said Malfoy. "Tonight, if you're okay. A duel between wizards. Just wands, how about?"

"I guess you haven't heard of wizard duels?"

Ron stood up: "Of course we know, I will be his assistant, who is your assistant?"

Malfoy ended up choosing the taller, more menacing-looking Crabbe. "How about the trophy room at midnight?"

After a few people made an agreement, Malfoy proudly took Crabbe and Goyle away.

Ron told Harry about the wizard's duel, the two used magic to duel, and the assistant continued after the death, but both of them were in the first grade, and they had only been in class for two weeks, so they couldn't use any powerful spells.

"Better just drop the wand and punch him right on the nose!" was Ron's final conclusion.

"Sorry to excuse me, I accidentally overheard what you and Malfoy were saying." Hermione couldn't help interrupting the two.

"Malfoy is a pure-blood, maybe he can cast a curse that you don't know about. In hand-to-hand combat, the two of you combined can't defeat Crabbe."

"Most importantly, you must never wander around the school at night. Think about how many points you will lose to Gryffindor if you get caught, and you will definitely get caught. Don't be too selfish."

Loren next to him hiccupped beautifully: "I think Hermione is right."

But Harry and Ron felt that this had nothing to do with them at all, and they went back to the lounge to discuss the battle plan.

At 11:30 in the evening, the dormitory fell silent, and Ron and Harry sneaked out of the dormitory, passed the spiral staircase, and entered the common room.

There was still some embers flickering in the fireplace, and the armchair seemed to be a black shadow.

They had just reached the portrait aisle when they heard someone from the chair closest to them say: "I can't believe you guys actually did this, Harry!"

A light popped on and it was Hermione, frowning in her pink nightgown.

"I'm going to tell your brother Percy - he's a prefect!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, ignored the portrait of the fat woman, and crawled out of the hole.

Hermione was impatient, and followed her out: "Don't you care about the scores in the Academy Cup at all? I earned a little bit from the professor!" She spoke like an angry lioness.

"It's none of your business!" Harry felt that this man was too nosy.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wheezing and wheezing in the dark.

"Wouldn't Mrs. Norris find out from the beginning?" Ron held his breath.

It wasn't Mrs. Norris, but Neville, curled up on the floor, sleeping soundly, and woke up with a start as a few people approached, "Thank God, I lost the note with the password, and I have been locked out for several hours! "

This was a common thing before. It turned out that Harry and Loren would check whether Neville had returned before going to bed. If not, they would come out and open the door to check. Occasionally, the Weasley brothers who came back from the night tour would bring Neville in.

But after getting the Memory Ball from Neville, it never happened again, and it happened again today.

"Keep your voice down, Neville, today's password is 'pig's nose,'" said Harry, turning to look at the Fat Lady's portrait.

The figure on the portrait at the door has disappeared, leaving only some background on the canvas.He suppressed his voice and exclaimed: "The fat lady is visiting again."

A few people were not very worried. The senior students told them that the fat lady often went out to visit the door when no one opened the door, and exchanged opera and bel canto with portraits in other places.Usually you'll be back in less than an hour.

"Ron and I will go to a duel first, Hermione, take care of Neville and leave us alone." Harry made a plan.

Hermione did not agree, she wanted to see that the two of them would not be caught by Filch, and would not violate other more school rules.Neville didn't want to be alone here either.

In the end, the four of them decided to go together, which would also prevent Malfoy from bullying the few with more.

A group of people took advantage of the dim light and walked on tiptoe, holding their breath and not daring to pant loudly.

Even so, the journey was not peaceful, and exclamations sounded from time to time.The Bloody Barrow scares Neville every time, as does Sir Nicholas, who hangs upside down from the ceiling on purpose with his head hanging down.

Neville wanted to scold someone when he saw it.

In the end, the four came to the prize showroom without any risk.

The showroom was pitch black at night, the gilded trophies and medals reflected sporadic light, and the outlines of objects could barely be seen.

Loren, who had been waiting behind the display cabinet for a long time, finally saw a few people, but he didn't make a sound.

The four moved close to the walls, keeping their eyes on the doors at either end of the room, Harry holding his wand in case Malfoy burst in.

After a long time, there was still no movement.

Holding his chin with his hands, Loren walked towards them and said a conjecture, "Do you think Malfoy is deliberately playing tricks on you two?"

Suddenly there was a sound from where no one thought there was anyone, and the four people in the room suddenly became terrified. They all looked at Loren and said, "Why are you here!"

Loren made an aggrieved expression, "If you don't take me on the team building night tour, I will come by myself."

Hermione was going crazy. Five Gryffindors organized a night tour. If they were caught, they could lose points in the Academy Cup.

Harry knew it wouldn't be that simple: "What the hell happened?"

It was only then that Loren spoke half-truthfully about what he had done: "I heard Malfoy's plan in the bathroom."

"They're going to lure you here, and then report you to Filch for night travel, and teach you a lesson."

"So during dinner, I told Malfoy that you changed the duel location to the first floor."

Ron shouted angrily: "Despicable Malfoy, too despicable, doesn't follow the rules of wizard duels at all!"

"Loren, why didn't you just tell me about this!" Harry was also very angry, he was almost fooled like a fool.

Hermione began to scold Harry and Ron: "I knew it, I knew it, if there is no Loren, you two simple-minded guys will definitely make us deduct points!"

"I think the night tour is very interesting!" Loren took out some nuts and handed them to a few people. "It just so happens that we haven't taken a night tour before, so let's take this opportunity."

Such words, such behavior, and nut snacks shocked everyone.

Why can you confidently say that you want to travel at night!Also pull us together!

Why are you so well prepared!There are even snacks!
