Chapter 14: Halloween Part II
The Halloween dinner ended with a joyous end as the students of each house, after leaving the hall, rushed to their respective common rooms, ready to enjoy the evening. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
No one in the crowd noticed that Holly had pulled Erinka out of the Ravenclaw group and headed for the Gryffindor Tower. From afar, he looked at the little wizards huddled in front of him in front of him in front of the door of the Gryffindor common room.
"Why don't everyone go in?" muttered Ron through the crowd.
Harry looked over the layers of heads in front of him and saw that something seemed to be wrong with the portrait of the fat aunt who had been guarding the gate of the Gryffindor common room.
"Let go," Percy Weasley weaved through the crowd, his dazzling red hair making him stand out from the crowd. Not to mention that he's also a Gryffindor prefect.
Then there was silence, and from the very front, a chill spread throughout the hallway, and then Percy shouted in his high-pitched voice, "Who's going to call Professor Dumbledore, hurry!"
One after another, the little wizards turned around and stood behind them.
In the next moment, Dumbledore appeared at the end of the hallway, squeezing his way forward. When the Gryffindor students saw that it was Dumbledore, they consciously moved out of the way. The portrait of the fat aunt who used to stand guard at the door of the Gryffindor common room has been vandalized, and the fat aunt has disappeared from her portrait, and the previous canvas has been maliciously cut and thrown on the floor like garbage, and there is a huge crack in the portrait.
Turning around, Dumbledore saw Holly and Erinka appear in front of him, and not far away McGonagall, Lupin, and Snape were also heading in this direction.
Picking up the canvas on the ground, Dumbledore said, "We must find her, Professor McGonagall, and go to Filch at once, and ask him to search every painting in the castle to make sure he can find the fat aunt." β
"You're in luck!" Peeves flew through the air, always cheerfully expressing his joy whenever he saw someone in trouble or trouble.
"Do you have any grievances, Peeves?" said Dumbledore calmly.
"You should be ashamed, sir. You are in a high position, but there is no way to see it, she is so frightened that she even ran to the fourth floor in a panic. Sir, she was still scurrying about the primeval forest there, crying and running, and shouting terrible things. Peeves grinned, "Poor fellow. β
"Who is she talking about?" Dumbledore was reluctant to continue wasting time with Peeves.
"Oh yes, Headmaster. Peeves said, floating in mid-air. "As you can see, he was very angry when she didn't go to him. Someone with that kind of grumpy temper, of course..."
Peeves sold his way and ducked into the distance, shouting in a long voice, "Siris Black~~"
Dumbledore sent all the Gryffindor students back to the hall, and a few minutes later, the students from the other three houses also rushed over one after another. Many of them still have a little confusion on their faces, and some even have a little bit of alcohol.
"The entire castle needs a thorough search," Professor Dumbledore arranged for McGonagall and Flitwick to close all doors to the hall. "For your safety, you need to rest in the hall tonight. I will arrange for some of the teachers and your prefects to stay in the hall, and if there is any situation, please report it to me immediately. Dumbledore gestured to the prefects and student presidents of the various houses who stood up.
After a pause, Dumbledore prepared to turn away, "Oh, by the way, you need this-" Countless sleeping bags appeared out of thin air, placed on the floor of the hall in order.
There was a buzz of talk in the hall, and it was the Gryffindor students showing off to everyone what they had just seen.
"Everybody lie down in their sleeping bags," Percy commanded, "immediately, don't speak." Lights out in ten minutes!"
In the corner, Holly and Erinka were also given a sleeping bag.
"You already knew Cialis Black was coming tonight?" said Erinka as she watched as Holly slipped into her sleeping bag and lay down inside.
"I don't know, but I think tonight's Halloween, the school's defenses and patrols must be the weakest in recent times. Holly replied with his eyes closed. "Don't talk yet, someone's coming. β
As soon as Erinka turned her head, the savior trio seemed to have spotted the hidden corner, dragging their sleeping bags in their wakes.
"Actually... I met Cialis Black some time ago. After setting up a sound shield in the direction of the Savior Trio, Holly said.
"When? Could it be when you're treating over there?" asked Erinka, who hadn't been with her until she had been recuperating some time ago, after ruling out the option of her sneaking out of Hogwarts.
"Yes, I have to say that the two thorns of Gryffindor, James Potter and Siris Black, knew Hogwarts very well, which was really impressive. They have discovered a large number of hidden passages of Hogwarts, and it is doubtful that they could not have been sent to the hospital as mentally ill when they were at school. In some ways, the Weasley twin brothers were quite like them. β
"And then? do you mean it's very likely that Siris Black entered Hogwarts through a hidden passage that they discovered a long time ago? And then? What do you think?"
"Thoughts? Didn't you see that Dumbledore didn't take us with him on this patrol, I think he must have something on his own. You know, we were the first to show up at Gryffindor Tower. β
"Really, then I'll rest firstβ" Erinka gave Holly a meaningful look.
"Now turn off the lights ~ everyone stay in their sleeping bags and don't talk. Percy's voice resounded throughout the hall. The hall instantly darkened, and the original humming conversation was also instantly quieted. The white ghost floating in the air is the only source of light in the air. Sometimes they pass through the walls, sometimes they run to the teachers and prefects, talking about something.
Observing that the teacher patrolling the hall did not notice the corner he was in, Holly woke Erinka and quietly slipped out of her sleeping bag and disappeared into the darkness of the corner.

The screaming shack, the room that was originally full of dust, because not long ago there was no trace of dust in Holey's short-term stay. In the fireplace, the charcoal basin showed a little red, and it was weakly radiating heat outward. In the corner, a ragged man, holding his wand in his right hand, frowns, paying attention to any noise around him.
The door was pushed open, and a bright light emanated from the tip of the wand, illuminating the entire house. Two girls walked in.
"I didn't expect you to be so bold as to enter the castle on Halloween. β
