A lot of things, you think it's over, in fact it's just beginning.

While everyone was worried about Harry, Harry announced the good news at dinner.

He's been selected for the Gryffindor House team as a Seeker!

"You're kidding. ”

Ron was about to put a piece of steak kidney pie in his mouth, but he forgot about it halfway through, "Seeker? But a first-year student...... You must be the youngest academy player in many years. ”

"It's been a century. Harry said, picking up the pie with his hand and stuffing it into his mouth, feeling particularly hungry after the thrilling afternoon encounter, "This is what Wood told me...... Where's Neville, by the way?"

"His toad is gone. Ron replied, "Neville is looking around right now, but it certainly won't be easy, and I think he should ask the professors for help,...... Let's bring him something to eat later, he hasn't eaten dinner yet. ”

"Hmm. ”

Harry nodded, and was about to say something when Malfoy appeared, and as usual, the first thing they said was mockery.

"Are you eating your last meal, Potter, and when are you going to get the train back to the Muggles?"

"Smack!"

Slapping the dishes on the table, Harry looked up, glanced at the two henchmen behind Malfoy, and said disdainfully, "Even if Neville isn't here, you still don't dare to come alone." Hehe, if Neville hadn't left halfway through the flight lesson, you wouldn't have dared to do that. ”

Harry was shocked and furious when he remembered what had happened that afternoon, and if Professor McGonagall hadn't looked the other way at him, he would have been punished severely. As soon as he thought of this, Harry no longer had the slightest good temper, and said with a cold face, "You're just a coward!"

Suffering from this humiliation, Malfoy's face was naturally not good-looking, but he endured it and said very boldly, "That's right, I'm afraid of Neville, so what?" he pointed at Harry and Ron, "If Neville hadn't covered you like a chicken, I would have cleaned you two up a long time ago!"

"Then you do it!"

Ron swallowed his food, stood up and walked over to Malfoy, "Here, if you have the ability, you can move me here and try it!

It was dinner time, and the guest of honor table was full of teachers, and Ron had no fear, and if Malfoy dared to touch him, he would fall to the ground, and then roll on the ground screaming and rolling a dozen laps to see who was unlucky in the end.

Malfoy was obviously not that stupid, even though his father was a member of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees, but it was Headmaster Dumbledore who really had the final say.

At this moment, Ron had surpassed Neville as Malfoy's most hated person.

"I'm always willing to fight you alone!"

Malfoy gritted his teeth and said word by word, "But do you dare?" he turned his head to look at Harry, his face disdainful, "If you all have no opinion, tonight, the duel between wizards, I am alone against the two of you, together or in turn, I don't care!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, they really didn't think they would have lost to Malfoy without those two henchmen. In their eyes, Malfoy is just a pampered and bullying villain, and there is no need to be afraid.

"I'm not going to take Crabbe and Goyle, I'm alone!" Malfoy said, "you can take Neville with you, or even have him beat me up...... But it also proves that you are cowards! I met you in the prize room at midnight today, where the door is never locked. ”

With that, Malfoy didn't wait for Harry and Ron's answers, and turned to leave.

Ron and Harry looked at each other, and they always felt that something was wrong with Malfoy today.

............

Neville, who was looking for Rifou around the castle, didn't know what was happening in the halls, and he didn't know that Harry and Ron were planning to go to a wizarding duel with Malfoy tonight without telling him.

An anxious Neville is now concentrating on searching every corner of the castle, hoping to find Leeford, but he has started to search from the eighth floor, and has reached the fourth floor, but he still can't find it.

"Rifle!Where are you?!"

Neville called softly, he had been shouting for more than an hour, his mouth was dry, but he didn't mean to give up.

After this afternoon's flying lesson, when he returned to his dorm, Neville found that the glass bottle containing Rifle had fallen to the ground and shattered, and Rifle was gone.

At a cursory glance, it was probably Rifle tossing in the bottle, then causing the bottle to lose its balance and fall to the ground, and then it took the opportunity to escape.

The door to the dorm was open, and Neville's roommates couldn't remember if the door was closed when they went to class, but Rifle apparently escaped from here. Because apart from the door, the window is the exit to the outside, but the window is locked.

At the end of the corridor on the right-hand side of the fourth floor is the [Forbidden Zone], and at the beginning of the school year, Headmaster Dumbledore said that "anyone who does not want to suffer an accident or a painful and tragic death, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor].

Neville didn't want to go there because of the headmaster's warning, but if Levle was hiding there......

After a moment's hesitation, Neville took a step, looking around and slowly and cautiously. However, he had to stop before he could get close to the door, for a dull sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and it was getting closer, and the owner of the footsteps was walking towards Neville.

It's less than ten steps from that door, and if you move fast enough, you might be okay......

Neville shook his head, dispelling the thought, tiptoeing back quickly without a sound, ready to face accountability.

[God forbid, I hope it's not those professors......]

Neville's eyes flashed with the images of Professor McGonagall and the others, if it were these people, then he would probably be really unlucky today. It is said that since the last time he prayed to God, Shun Lì was assigned to Gryffindor, Neville stopped chanting Merlin when he prayed, but changed to God.

Whoever asked Neville to pray for Merlin for so many years has not been spiritual, it's no wonder that Neville is not strong in his faith.

God the old man should be at work by now, and when Neville looked at the man who was coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so nervous.

It was Hagrid.

Hagrid didn't seem to realize that there was another person here, and he was a little surprised when he saw Neville, and he said, "Neville, why are you here?"

"Levle is gone, I'm looking for it everywhere. Neville told the truth, he hung his head, glanced left and right, and his tone was a little depressed: "I found this place from the eighth floor, but I still haven't found it." ”

Hagrid nodded, believing Neville, he knew Neville wasn't going to lie.

"You shouldn't have locked it up. ”

Hagrid shook his head, knowing that Rifou was a headache for Neville to end up in the bottle, but he felt that this was a palliative solution.

"Need my help?"

"No need. Neville shook his head, "I'm used to playing hide and seek with it, I can feel it's in the castle and it's not far away." ”

"Oh, good luck then. ”

Hagrid waved at Neville and watched him leave. When Neville's footsteps were no longer audible, he turned and walked towards the door in the exclusion zone, pulling a wooden flute from his pocket......

Passing by a room on the third floor, Neville smelled a strong smell of garlic and looked up to see that it was the office of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Quirinus Quirrell, a strange man with a scarf on his head and a puff of garlic on his body, stammering when he spoke.

The entrance to Dumbledore's office was also on the third floor, where Neville went, and the gate was guarded by an ugly-looking gargoyle who was said to be able to get to the Headmaster's office by saying the right command.

Neville was right, and on the third floor he finally found Rifou, who was lying on top of a statue, eyes closed as if sleeping.

The disappearance of Rifford has come to an end, but as I said at the beginning, many things you think are over, but in fact it has just begun.
