Chapter 57: The Golden Egg
"Holly, what's wrong with you?" asked Snape, who was just about to send Moody out of the cellar, as he looked at Holly, who was thinking about something. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Nothing, just thinking...... If we go out now, will we meet some students who like to wander around the castle in the middle of the night?"
"You mean ......?"
"Quite likely, you know, there's not much time left......
"Severus, are you talking about that sneaky little guy who was about to come downstairs?"
"Maybe. Holly shrugged, without Moody's MONOCULUS, it was impossible to see the scene outside through the walls.
"Then I want to ...... You can relax, at least the little one is stuck on the stairs now. Moody's continued the briefing. "That Squib has passed......"
"So, we seem to be able to go and see the fun, don't we?" Holly didn't know what to call Barty Crouch Jr.
"Let's go, Holly. Snape said, "Barty, you wait here for a while. With that, Snape strode forward, leaving only Holly with an extra wand in his hand.
Barty Crouch, who has reverted to Moody's, is helpless about it.
"Well, you wait here for a few minutes, and I'll give you back my wand later, so you won't be delayed. Holly thought for a moment and said, then turned and chased after him, "Don't move, your wand should appear in front of you later, oh, by the way, remember to contact the Dark Lord, I'm sure he will accept the offer to join forces with me." ”
A few minutes later, while Moody was waiting a little impatiently, his wand suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him, not noticing the slightest fluctuation in his magical power.
Shaking his head, Moody clenched his wand and walked towards his target one step at a time.
On the stairs, Harry Potter was in a situation where he couldn't advance or retreat at this time, walking forward, Peeves was blocked at one end of the stairs, even if he was wearing an invisibility cloak, Harry didn't dare to continue in the middle of the night, who knows if these ghosts would feel that someone could pass through them, you must know that the invisibility cloak can't hide the existence of the body, what can be hidden is only light.
At the other end of the staircase, Argus Filch and his cat, Mrs. Norris, had picked up the golden eggs that had just been scattered on the ground and closed them again. The corridor that had just been unusually noisy was quiet again in an instant, and only Filch's panting voice made the corridor look terrifying in the dim light.
Harry Potter hid under his invisibility cloak, not daring to make the slightest move. Looking at the Marauder map scattered on the ground not far away, I also secretly regretted it.
Just before going to the prefect's bathroom, he saw Barty Crouch's name in Snape's laboratory, and just now, when he was about to return to Gryffindor after taking a shower, he looked at the map again, only to see Snape's name appear there, and next to it, there was a vague name, and only P with the surname starting with it could be seen.
Harry Potter stood in the hallway, unable to do anything more. As he watched Filch walk up the stairs, there were two different footsteps not far away, one was the sound of a crisp heel hitting the ground, and the other was a very slight but very high-frequency sound that could only be produced by walking.
Two voices that were somewhat incongruous came from the same direction. Both Harry Potter and Filch both looked in the direction from which the voice came.
In the gloomy corridor, two figures appeared one after the other.
When Harry saw only the form of the first man, he cried out in his heart.
"Filch, what's going on?" Snape asked. And Holly hasn't quite come out of the shadows yet.
"It's Peeves, it's him who threw the golden egg down the stairs. Filch explained.
"Huh, is this the thing?" said Holly, who appeared from behind and took the golden egg from Filch's hand, which had been thrown to the ground by Harry Potter. "Isn't that a tournament player's thing?"
"Ah, yes, I wonder if Peeves stole it from somewhere?"
"Don't look for it, go to Gryffindor and find Harry Potter. Holly ordered directly, and her words sent chills down Harry's back as he stayed on the stairs and didn't dare to make the slightest movement. "Peeves don't have the guts to enter the Ravenclaw common room. ”
"Ahhh ”
"Hmm, what are you doing here, are you having a pajama party?" Moody said from the other end of the hallway, diverting the subject.
"Ah, Professor. Professor Snape, Miss Parker, and I heard a noise here. It's the sound Peeves makes. Filch explained, pointing at Peeves, who was floating in the air and deliberately mischievous.
Moody limped close to where Harry was, and the MONOCULUS stared at Harry's location as he gestured to Harry's location with his hand covertly.
"And then?" Moody continued.
"Oh, Miss Parker said that the golden egg belonged to Harry Potter, because she was sure that her one was not impossible for Peeves. So, I'm going to pay a trip to Gryffindor later, and by the way, remind Mr. Harry Potter to take good care of his belongings. ”
"Really?" asked Moody, turning his head to look at Holly, who was slowly approaching.
"That's right. Holly stood there, quietly picking up the map that Harry Potter had left aside from the ground. "Maybe that's where Peeves picked it up too, I'll ask it separately later, where did it pick it up?"
At this point, Harry Potter's face was pale under the cloak of invisibility, and many times, this map, since the Weasley brothers gave it to him last year, had helped him enough. It can even be said that without this map, his life at Hogwarts would probably have lost a lot of color.
Thinking of this, Harry Potter suddenly thought of Moody not far away, and made a lip gesture to tell him that the map was his, hoping that Moody could help him get the map back from Holly's hands.
But it was clear that his idea was about to fall flat.
Moody ignored his message, but took the golden egg from Filch's hand and said, "I also want to continue patrolling the castle, so I'll send this to Gryffindor." ”
Seeing that Holly and Snape didn't say anything, Fairch reluctantly handed the golden egg to Moody.
"Hmph, I think you'd better not go on a patrol route with us, you know, there may be students wandering around the castle at night, if you want to get to Gryffindor as soon as possible......" Snape said a word and turned away, and Holly immediately followed after shaking the map in his hand in the direction of Harry Potter.
Filch was soon sent by Moody to another place, where everyone had to communicate with the others......
