Chapter 31: The Fat Lady is Attacked

After two days of apprehensive waiting, Linnaeus finally got an answer from Vio in the morning, albeit brought by a gloating Linnaeus. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Burning Novel ww?w?.?r?a?n?w?e?n?'

"Hey, this is what the young lady asked me to give you. Linnaeus brought a neatly folded letter, with beautiful and clear handwriting on the cover, and it was VIO's. Linnaeus tried to take the letter, but Xiao Luo mischievously withdrew the letter, leaving Linnaeus empty.

Linnaeus stood for two seconds, his face was a little less gentle, he looked at Xiao Luo intently, the latter pretended to smile apologetically, and then turned the envelope over, and showed him the red seal on it: "You can see it, this is the seal of the Ministry of Magic, I have told the young lady everything, and the rest can not be helped, after all, whoever is sucked blood for no reason will not be happy." Well, you didn't reply to the letter, did you? I'm not one of you, and I'm not going to help you bring the letter back. ”

After he had finished speaking, he happily placed the letter in Linnaeus's hand, and then left without squinting.

Linnaeus looked solemnly at the letter, the stamps on the letter were bright red, and they were extremely cold and hard to the touch in the cold winter temperatures.

It's funny that he also asks for miracles.

He slowly put the letter into his robe.

It's almost time to go.

"Look," said Ron, "we bring you so much candy that we can't bring any more." ”

A handful of candy rained down on the long table in front of Harry and Vio, turning into a small hill as Ron and Hermione rummaged through their pockets and tote bags.

It was twilight, and Ron and Hermione had just made an appearance in the common room. Their faces had been blown pink by the cold wind, and they looked as if they had been playing happily for a while.

"Thank you," said Harry, tearing open a small bag of pepper urchins, "How's Hogsmeade?

Vio also picked up a bag of bubble gum, and she happily picked through the pile of candy, thinking that it was wise, and it was indeed the right thing to stay in the Gryffindor common room and wait for Ron and Hermione.

"Just listen to it. Everywhere went. Devis and Bans, the Magic Equipment Shop, Jokowi's Joke Shop, and the Three Broomsticks that serve the frothy butterbeer, among many other places. Ron sat down beside them contentedly, looking into the void and reminiscing.

"The post office, Harry, there are about two hundred owls, all sitting on shelves, all color-coded, depending on how fast your letter needs to go!"

"Duke Honey has a new milk fudge, they're handing out free samples, here's a little one, you see......"

"We think we saw a man-eating demon, really, three broomsticks have all sorts of ...... there"

"I'd love to bring you two some butterbeer, it's going to warm you up......"

"What did you do at school?" Hermione asked, looking anxious, "Did you finish any homework?"

Hermione looked at Vio first, knowing that Hermione was worried that her homework progress would not be as good as the others, so Vio replied with a smile in order to let her relax, "Harry and I went to Professor Lupin's office and had tea there"

"Well, that's right. Harry frowned and continued, "Then Snape came in and handed Professor Lupin a goblet full of potions, the smell of which was so disgusting that I wanted to vomit just by smelling ......it."

He told them all about the goblet. Ron's mouth opened wide.

"Did Lupin drink?" he gasped, "he's crazy?"

Hermione looked at her watch.

"Let's go downstairs, you know, in five minutes, the dinner will begin." ”

So the four of them hurried through the hole in the portrait and joined the crowd, talking about Snape all the way.

"But if he, you know," Hermione lowered her voice and looked around nervously, "if he was trying to poison Lupin, he wouldn't do it in front of you both." ”

"Yes, it may be. Harry said that by this time they had reached the antechamber and were making their way into the auditorium.

The auditorium was hung with hundreds of jack-o-lanterns, a swarm of winged bats, and many flaming orange streamers that floated lazily beneath the ceiling like brilliant water snakes.

The food was exquisite, and even people like Hermione and Ron, who ate Duke Honey's sweets to the point of bursting their stomachs, demanded a second portion of each item.

Vio casually looked at Harry, Hermione, and Ron as he ate, and they didn't seem to be paying attention to themselves anyway.

Harry had been peeking at the faculty chair, and Professor Lupin seemed happy and normal as usual, and he was having an active conversation with the little Charms teacher, Professor Flitwick.

The dinner ended with a cultural program provided by the ghosts of Hogwarts.

Ghosts emerge from walls and tables in a kind of procession, and Nick, who is almost headless in Gryffindor, succeeds in recreating his headhead.

After the dinner was over, there was still a moment before the curfew, and Vio simply followed the rest of Gryffindor to the Gryffindor Tower along the usual route.

But when they got to the portrait of the fat lady, they found that there were many people crowded in the corridor.

"Why don't you go in?" said Ron, curious.

Harry looked over the head.

The portrait seemed to be closed.

Vio narrowed his eyes and looked serious, could it be that Sirius had escaped from her house?

"Please let me pass. Percy's voice, he walked out of the crowd with a sense of relief. "Why are you stuck here? You don't necessarily forget your password, do you? I'm sorry, I'm the president of the boys' student council......"

The crowd quieted down, from the front, so it was like a cold snap spreading through the hallway. They heard Percy speak, and their voices suddenly shrivelled, "Who's going to ask Professor Dumbledore." Hurry!"

People all turned around, and the last man stood on tiptoe.

"What's wrong?" said Ginny, who had just arrived.

After a while, Professor Dumbledore arrived, and he hurried over to the portrait, the Gryffindor students huddled together for him to pass, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione leaned closer to see what was in trouble.

Vio wanted to squeeze out of the crowd and find a place where no one was paying attention to what was going on, but then immediately stopped herself, and if she did, Hermione and the others might find out that she was not there, and then cause an even bigger sensation.

So, she silently followed Hermione's footsteps and leaned in with them.

"Oh my gosh!" Hermione exclaimed, grabbing Vio's arm.

Vio followed her line of sight to see that the fat lady had disappeared from the portrait, the portrait had been vandalized, small pieces of canvas were scattered all over the floor, and large pieces of canvas had been completely torn from the frame.

Professor Dumbledore didn't know what had appeared, and he took a quick look at the damaged painting.

"Professor McGonagall, please go to Filch at once, and tell him to look for the fat lady on every painting in the castle. (To be continued.) )
