Chapter 126: The Black Dog Comes Out of the Cage

"How's it going? How many points did the Slytherin guys lose to Hufflepuff?" Wood asked with interest as he watched Harry and Ron walk into the common room. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He didn't watch it because it didn't mean anything in his opinion, he just needed a result. He's graduating from seventh year now, and whether it's Muggle society or wizarding society, it's always busy, for example, he's filling out stacks of forms right now, and he's busy about it.

"Slytherin won. Harry said numbly, not a little angry on his face.

"Oh, those guys still have some skills. Wood was slightly stunned and didn't think much of it, but then Ron's words made his smile completely freeze on his face.

"Slytherin, they won Hufflepuff by three hundred and fifty points. Ron's voice was soft, and he was reluctant to tell Wood the news.

"Ron, you're just as good at pranks as your two older brothers now. Wood said with a smile, he thought that now that Ron had learned badly, he would play pranks and make such jokes that were not funny.

"It's true. Harry said with his head down, not daring to look up at Wood, but at the floor.

"How is that possible!" Wood suddenly roared in a rage, he even immediately lifted Ron's collar, and stared at him with red and bloodshot eyes, "Did they use some despicable means to use their physical advantage to foul the game, I knew that except for the girl who came in by connection, the other guys were all tall and tall, and the Hufflepuff students were so kind, they must have been bullied......"

"They were very disciplined in this game. Harry saw Ron being clutched by the collar and hurried up to help him.

"How could it be so bad, you wouldn't have told me that the Hufflepuff students were bribed to release water on purpose!" Wood was still emotional, and his hands kept shaking, shaking Ron's anger out.

"Someone else has seven firebow arrows!" Ron yelled, then snapped Wood's hand away and sat down on a scarlet seat.

"Seven firebolts?" Wood's eyes were as if they had been thrown into the ice and snow, and they were instantly cooled, and the tense muscles he had just been on suddenly loosened, and he fell to the flat carpet.

"Seven firebow arrows?" Wood repeated in a whisper, as if stunned, staring blankly ahead, tears slowly flowing from his eyes, but he didn't notice it.

Harry could only shake his head helplessly, and he didn't know how to comfort Wood now, because Harry felt that he needed someone else to comfort him now.

He was even thinking that if he could catch the Golden Snitch later in the previous game and let his teammates score more goals to open up the gap. Then today's Slytherin may not be so easy to score.

But this was only an illusory self-consolation, and he could see that the Slytherin students were still at ease today, and they could open up the gap if they wanted to.

"By the way, where is Hermione today, didn't she make an appointment with us, I didn't see her just now. Ron wasn't a contestant after all, and quickly came out of his emotions and asked Harry instead.

Harry could only shake his head in response to Ron, they had breakfast together in the Great Hall today, and they had made an appointment to watch the game together, but when they walked to the Quidditch pitch, they found that Hermione was gone.

Hermione, of course, wanted to go to the game with her friends, but had an accident halfway through.

"Crookshan!" the nimble fat cat snapped free from her arms, flipped its body with agility, landed safely to the ground, and then tore at Hermione's robe with its teeth, trying to drag her in the opposite direction.

"Meow, meow. Crookshank kept letting out a mournful cry, trying to get Hermione's attention.

"Crookshan, I've promised Harry that they're going to watch the game, is there anything you can do after the game?" Hermione crouched down and patiently said to the big ginger cat.

The eyes of a man and a cat just looked at each other so quietly.

Crookshane is more like her friend than a pet, so she hardly ever tells Crookshan, but communicates patiently, knowing that Crookshant should be able to understand her.

But Crookshan still stubbornly tugged at her trouser legs, trying to drag her away.

Hermione didn't know what to do now, her original plan today was to take advantage of this ball game to use the truth potion to get Peter Pettigrew's words, this time is a very rare opportunity, because Peter Pettigrew rarely appears at school and is always busy promoting outside, but Harry told her a few days ago that Peter Pettigrew will also go to this game.

So Hermione brought her crystal bottle full of truth potion today.

But now Crookshane has made such a move, which makes her very incomprehensible, Crookshank never plays tricks for no reason, Hermione has been with it for a long time and knows it very well.

"Okay. Hermione sighed helplessly, "Don't pull my robe, just lead the way in front of me wherever you want to go." She said, touching Crookshan's shaggy head, then stood up.

Hermione still decided to trust her pet.

But Crookshank didn't take her anywhere else, but took her back to the Gryffindor common room.

"Crookshan, what do you want to do?" Hermione was also confused, she didn't know Crookshan's intentions now.

The big cat continued to lead the way, walking across the carpet that covered the floor, and with a jump, he stood on the spiral ladder that led to the girls' dormitory, and he looked back at Hermione, and the eyes seemed to be urgent, "Follow me." ”

"Okay. Hermione glanced at Crookshank with some annoyance, hoping it wouldn't disappoint her, and now Hermione was already thinking about how to apologize to Harry and Ron later.

She's already late, and it looks like she's going to miss her appointment.

As soon as Crookhill returned to the dormitory, it moved more quickly, and it crossed the crimson flannel curtain and used its thick palms to nimbly flip up and down Hermione's wardrobe, even making a mess of Hermione's tidy clothes.

"Crookshan! What are you looking for?" Hermione thought she might be wrong, Crookshank might be venting her emotions, she knew that some pets might lose their temper for no reason in order to get their owner's attention.

"I'll have to lock you up in your dorm room if you do this again, Crookshan. Hermione said as she walked over to Crookshank, who was rummaging around.

Then Hermione saw Crookshank Mountain with a silver glittering fabric in her mouth, and jumped into her arms.

"Cloak of Invisibility?" Hermione looked at Mount Crook in surprise, she had been borrowing Harry's Cloak of Invisibility for some days.

"Are you reminding me that you want me to pay him back now? Well, yes, I borrowed a lot of time, but Harry didn't rush me, so take it with you and give it back to him after watching the game. ”

Crookshank Hill stared at Hermione with its large, spiritual eyes, and then shook its head, using its claws, trying to put the invisibility cloak on Hermione as best she could.

"You want me to put it on?" asked Hermione

Crookshan nodded hurriedly. , then jumped out of Hermione's arms and began to run on the ground, and Hermione had to speed up her pace to keep up.

They walked out of the Gryffindor common room the same way they came, stopping and stopping at Crook Hill in between, sniffing and sniffing almost every other place.

"Crookshan!" Hermione said in a panicked voice, "the basement down the stairs is the Slytherin dormitory, don't go there." ”

But Crookshank Hill continued to leap up and down the spiral stairwell as if it hadn't heard, and Hermione could even feel the excitement in its throbbing form, as if she were going to see an old friend who had been absent for a long time.

Hermione couldn't figure out why Crookhill had behaved the way she did, as she had barely interacted with the students of the house this semester.

At this point, Hermione had to go on hard, and one man and one cat were also extremely lucky, when the password was needed, two people happened to run out of the Slytherin common room in a hurry, and they didn't pay attention to Crookshank Mountain at all.

Not to mention Hermione, who was cloaked in invisibility, which also provided them with a gap to enter the common room.

"This is my second time here. Looking at the long-extinguished mantelpiece in the corner, the black marble wall, and some strange creatures outside the window, Hermione's mood at the moment was a little complicated, all of which brought back some memories of last year, but when she continued to reminisce, she found that her mind was blank, and her memory was interrupted

Directly opposite Hermione and Crookshank, there are two stone doors, behind which are supposed to be the Slytherin students' dormitories.

Crookshane lingered by the two stone doors for a while, then chose the one on the left and went straight in, Hermione could only continue to follow, Crookshank must have something to bring her here, and at the moment it was also a mess in her heart, not knowing what she would find out later.

But Hermione knew that Crookshank wouldn't hurt her no matter what.

Crookshank Hill continued to explore his way, then suddenly stopped in front of a door and tried to push it open, but it was locked tightly

"Alajo Cave Open" Hermione pulled out her wand and whispered to the lock, and the door opened, and she pushed the door in, followed by Crookshan.

Unlike the usual scarlet hues of Gryffindor's dormitories, Slytherin's dormitories were much more gloomy, with green silk draperies and silver thread embroidery and lanterns, not as conspicuous as Gryffindor's.

Crookshan's apricot-yellow eyes narrowed suddenly, and he began to rummage carefully at the foot of each student's bed.

"What are you looking for? Crookshan. Hermione subconsciously lowered her voice and said, even now there is no one here, all of them went to watch the Slytherin and Hufflepuff match.

"Fluorescent flickering!" Hermione turned to lock the room first, then took off her cloak of invisibility and followed Crookshank Hill to find it.

"Meow, meow. Crookshank let out a cry, and Hermione could hear the joy in it.

"Did you find it, Crookshan?" Hermione followed Crookshan's voice and leaned down, seeing what made her angry.

"Who the hell is so cruel!", with the light of the spell, Hermione only saw a scrawny black dog lying in a pitch-black cage, either asleep or dead, because his breath was so faint.

Crookshan's eyes were full of sorrow, no longer the joy they had just had, and it was very uncomfortable to see that his friend was now like this.

"Crook Hill, we're dragging this cage out. Hermione was desperate to save the innocent black dog, and at the same time she was complaining about the unknown man who abused the imprisoned animals.

Then the iron cage was made by them together, the iron cage rubbed against the ground and made a screeching noise, Hermione gasped for breath, this labor was still a little more difficult for her, the iron cage was very heavy.

The magic on the cage was a bit tricky, in addition to the physical locks, there were also some magical restrictions, but these didn't stump her, and after a little thought, Hermione unlocked the restrictions above.

After removing the lock, Hermione wiped the sweat from her forehead and tentatively said to the black dog in the cage, "You're free, are you okay?" ”

The black dog still didn't respond.

"Hold on a little longer, and I'll go find someone who can help you. Hermione's eyes moistened, and she wondered who could be so cruel as she could satisfy her own bad tastes. She knew that some people just liked to abuse for fun, and that the more the tortured person or animal showed pain, the more the abuser would be happy.

"I must tell Headmaster Dumbledore that some of the Slytherin students have committed such crimes. Hermione said.

She could accept the slaughter of the animals in front of her, but she could not accept the slaughter.

The black dog's body lying in the cage trembled suddenly, and then opened his eyes, his eyes were terrifyingly bright, and when he saw that the cage that locked him had been opened, the black dog suddenly turned over and stood up, and he slammed out, and even the door of the iron cage was deformed with such violent force.

"Don't be afraid, you're safe, and those who torture you will be punished. Hermione tried her best to soothe the black dog in front of her, and tried to reach out and stroke its head, until this moment Hermione thought that the dog's current manic behavior was due to fear.

But she soon stopped thinking so.

The emaciated black dog in front of him suddenly took a few steps back, its body began to twist and grow, the black hair gradually faded, its limbs began to stretch, and its legs stood up, and finally standing in front of Hermione was a tall, thin man.
