Chapter 15 Aftermath
Hermione was mad at the outcome of Harry and Ron, even more thrilled than Professor McGonagall, because in her opinion, she had a lot to blame for not being able to stop it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at her appearance, Darren tried to comfort her, "On the bright side, it's a good thing I opened the door last night and let you and Neville in, otherwise it would have been the four of you who would have been caught, in that case, it would have been 100 points deducted." ”
Unfortunately, Darren's efforts didn't turn out very well, "You should have pulled them back with me, oh my god, that's 50 points!" Hermione was still in hysterics.
Originally, Hermione planned to ignore Harry and Ron again, but under Darren's stubborn pull, after dinner, they still sat together, in Darren's words, "The points have been deducted anyway, at least you have to know what's going on, you can't let the points be lost."
Under Hermione's angry gaze, Harry and Ron, who had been glared at by all Gryffindors all day, did not have the courage to confront her, and could only say "you say a word, I say a word" about last night.
After Harry and Ron left Gryffindor's common room, they went to the prize room on the third floor as agreed with Malfoy, but they didn't wait for Malfoy at all, it was Filch and his cat, and it was clear that Filch knew that someone was there, because the first thing Filch said was, "Smell everywhere, where they might be hiding, where they are." ”
"And then you guys got caught by Filch like that?" Darren thought it was a little strange, although Filch went there, but at the level of Harry and Ron, he should be able to dodge, and the bears' stealth skills are innate.
"Listen to me, it's not over yet," Harry and Ron said as if they had forgotten about their punishment, and scrambled to tell the story of their adventure.
"Of course we weren't that stupid, and while Filch was inspecting the showcase, we slipped out of the prize room through another door, leaving him there alone, listening to the voices, and he didn't notice that we were gone," Harry and Ron said a little smugly, "and ......"
Suddenly, both Harry and Ron stopped and looked at each other, and Darren felt a wave of inexplicability, "And then what's wrong?"
"What else, these two fools must have forgotten their way back. Hermione said angrily, looking at the expressions on Harry and Ron's faces, it was clear that what she said was the truth.
"It was dark and rumbling, and Filch was looking for us, and we didn't dare make a light to make a light to make sure we could tell the way carefully," Ron muttered, then said with a look of horror, "but you didn't know what we saw later." ”
"Did you meet a ghost?"
"Cut, we didn't just come to Hogwarts," Ron looked dismissive, "we met Peeves, the ghost who specializes in making trouble with students, but we weren't frightened by it, but it yelled, and we hid behind a door for fear of Filch hearing it, and there it was," he stopped, looked at Harry, and couldn't go on.
Harry swallowed hard, "As a result, we found out that it was the corridor that Dumbledore said was forbidden to enter, and in it, there was a three-headed dog, like a cow, not the size of an elephant, and it could reach the ceiling when it stood up!"
"Really, I saw it with my own eyes, it has three heads, each of which is my size, and it's good that we run fast, otherwise you wouldn't have seen us. Ron said with a sigh of relief.
"And then, you were captured by Filch?" Hermione said, frowning.
"Luckily, we didn't run into Filch until we ran out of a hallway......"
“…… You're really lucky, otherwise you wouldn't have deducted 50 points. After a brief silence, Darren touched his chin and said, "I think this experience should teach you enough lessons, not all agreements are meaningful, and not all people who stop you are enemies. ”
"It's all Filch's fault, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been deducted points. Ron snapped into a statement.
"Filch, do you hate him? ”
"Oh my God, there are students who don't hate Filch. ”
"Then why do you hate taking Professor Quirrell's class?"
"His class was completely meaningless, it was a pure waste of time. ”
"What about Professor McGonagall?"
"At least I can learn how to turn matches into needles, oh, part of it. Under Hermione's gaze, Ron added.
"The difference between Professor Quirrell and Professor McGonagall is whether or not he has done his job, so is there anything wrong with Filch's night patrol, which is also his job?
“……”
"Because Filch is doing his job, it's not good for you at all, that's all. ”
Seeing that Ron no longer refuted, Darren thought for a moment, "Although the points that have been deducted can't be made up, it can't make Malfoy too proud." ”
The next day, Peeves had a new ballad that was sung all over the castle, "A lion and a snake, the two sides agreed to come to a duel, and the lion went to the appointment on time, but there was no snake to be found, only Filch......!
With the help of Peeves' songs, the students of Hogwarts completely understood the reason for the incident, and finally partially alleviated the plight of Harry and Ron.
However, as for the other side of the accusation, why was caught by Filch, Harry and Ron could only swallow it, after all, the matter of entering the corridor could not be said, which was also a lesson.
What's more, this deduction is really too harsh, and since the beginning of the school year, all the new Gryffindor students have not earned 50 points combined, and they have all been lost by Harry and Ron......
As the other side of the covenant, Malfoy, life is not easy, although Slytherin and Gryffindor have a bad relationship, and it is traditional to be hostile to each other, but Slytherin also has its own style, which by no means includes deception, otherwise Slytherin would not be famous for being a dark wizard, but an academy of liars.
As a result, under the deliberate downplay of Gryffindor and Slytherin, the "midnight duel", and the consequences caused by it, quickly subsided, and the two sides continued to enter the stage of open and secret fighting, and Harry and Malfoy, after this incident, also seemed to have their own experiences.
