Chapter Ninety-Five: The Vanishing Draco
Harry had been flying through the air for the past few days, but his way of catching the Ghost Snitch wasn't as nimble as he used to be. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Several times, the Ghost Snitch swirled away at his fingertips, and he could clearly hear Wood and Fred sighing behind him.
Harry himself was even more frustrated, and it looked like he would have lost if he had played in this form in the round-robin game against Ravenclaw a week later.
At the end of the session, he walked alone behind all the team members, and as he walked out of the locker room in the sky, Harry looked back at the broomstick shack not far away, and felt a cramping pain in his stomach.
Just a year ago, it was one of his favorite places, and now, he's starting to feel heavy.
Lost the diary, couldn't keep up with the training, didn't know where the Chamber of Secrets was, should I tell Dumbledore all this?
Harry really didn't want to be selfish, he still remembered that last year, because of facing Quirrell, he was known by the whole school and regarded as a hero, which is an honor, but also a responsibility and trust.
If he, Harry, was a coward who wanted to report to the school and the teacher when he encountered something, who would consider him a trustworthy person?
Sometimes, if you take the first step unintentionally, you have to keep going.
Whether you want to or not, the forces from all directions will only urge you to keep moving forward, even if there are rocks, mountains and fires ahead, and there is no way out.
He slowly paced the lawn that was gradually revealing green shoots in the spring breeze of late March, and lowered his head, choosing to ignore everything around him.
However, just as he casually glanced to the side, he noticed that at the back door of the courtyard, Malfoy of Slytherin was walking alone in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, and his steps were very large, completely different from the usual haughty and graceful gait, as if he was afraid that someone would notice, and he just wanted to hurry through the uncovered meadow.
Harry was about to follow, but when he looked up, he saw three men in colorful lights waving at him in the orange sunset on the far side, on the other side of the green field.
Harry stood and waited for them to get closer, then wiped his glasses with his sleeve, and when he saw it, a big smile broke into his face, and he sped towards them.
"Harry, Harry, finally seeing you, we've been waiting for a long time, almost all of the players have walked over, Fred and George said you might be practicing your new Seeker skills in the locker room, is it true?" Ron excitedly jumped up and hugged Harry's head and shook it.
Harry smiled and shook his head, "Practicing in a small space like the locker room, it's a great way to train flexibility, I'll try it next time." ”
They laughed and laughed back to the main castle of Hogwarts, where dinner began as if it were camping under the ceiling of the darkened Great Hall, as well as the routine conversation over dinner.
Hermione, Ron, and Vio, you and I finished their discussion with Harry.
Harry felt a sense of relief in every hair of his body when he heard Vio say that it didn't matter if he lost Riddle's diary.
He pondered those words, then with some disbelief, and asked, "So, we will follow Danae to the secret room to subdue the basilisk without telling anyone?"
Vio nodded, and Hermione added: "Before that, we have to talk to Hagrid and ask him to accept the basilisk, and in the future the basilisk can live in the Forbidden Forest or, at the same time, we write to ask Ron's brother Charlie, and ask him if he accepts the basilisk in addition to the dragon, after all, the difference is not very big, we will first be placed in the Forbidden Forest, and then find a chance to transport it away"
Ron and Harry were both a little surprised, and Ron protested, "Charlie doesn't have a good idea of slippery things, he hates noodles the most"
Harry felt that things could still be done in the past, and the whole person suddenly became enlightened.
But they didn't linger long on the issue, and Professor McGonagall hurried onto the stage, and at first few noticed her. However, she quickly pointed her wand at her throat, and soon a bell-like voice resounded throughout the Great Hall.
"There was one thing that was cancelled a few days later for the Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor, all the students"
The crowd in the auditorium booed and shouted discontentedly, and Fred and George tapped plates with forks a few positions away from them.
Professor McGonagall continued, louder and louder, directly covering the room, "All students must return to the common room of the House, where the Head of House will tell you more about the situation, please leave here immediately. The house-elves will then deliver the food to the various common rooms. ”
The crowd rioted, but the prefects stepped up and scrupulously carried out Professor McGonagall's orders, so Vio had to say goodbye to Harry, Ron, and Hermione and return to the Slytherin team.
"See you in class tomorrow!"
Vio watched for a moment and saw that there was no Draco in the crowd, he might already be in the common room. I don't know why, Vio always had a bad feeling, but she didn't find any loopholes in the plan at the moment.
In the past, the dark common room felt peaceful and warm, and the dark green sea was reassuring, but now, the hanging candles around seemed to be dozens of times weaker than usual, and the firelight reflected on the faces of the people around them, which was a bleak and gloomy fluorescent green.
Professor Snape stood in the center and warned them of some of the new rules and precautions that must be followed during this time: "All students must return to the common room of their house at six o'clock in the evening, preferably immediately after leaving the classroom. No student is allowed to leave the residence hall after this time. Each class is escorted by a teacher. No student is allowed to use the bathroom without a teacher. All Quidditch training and matches have been postponed. No further activities are allowed in the evenings. ”
As soon as Professor Snape finished reading, Daphne asked, "Professor, what's going on?"
Flint hugged his head next to him and let out a painful sob, which immediately caught everyone's attention.
The professor grimaced, "Draco and Belle Marcus are gone. The corpse," he paused, his voice trembling imperceptibly, "not yet found." ”
"No! that's not true," Pansy screamed. But with no one to comfort her, Flint, Crabbe, and Goyle cast hateful glances at her. (To be continued.)
