If you want to talk about the evaluation of Gryffindor, it is really the most incisive opinion of Slytherin......

Queen Hermione is mighty!

Anyway, Harry's child is really simple enough, he will believe whatever Opal says, and he will probably help her count the money when he is sold by Xiao Ao one day......

================================

Queen of Grail (upright): A trusted aid.

Hogwarts Gryffindor common room

、

Coming out of Professor McGonagall's office, it was past dinnertime. After grabbing something from the dining room that hadn't been completely cleaned up and returning to his room, Harry found that the firebolt that Ron had borrowed was sitting on his bed, and that his chest containing the cloak had been tampered with, which only a few people knew.

"Hermione, did you see Ron?"

Although he felt that he might just be overthinking, he still approached Hermione after a hurried meal to ask for confirmation.

"Huh? Didn't he go back to his room? ”

Hermione asked inexplicably, "Could it be that you are losing track of time playing with that broomstick on the playground?" ”

"No...... The fire bolts are on my bed. ”

After rejecting Hermione's speculation, Harry thought for a moment before adding, "Besides, my invisibility cloak must have been taken by Ron. ”

By the time Harry had finished speaking, he couldn't help but hold his forehead - it was obvious what Ron would do with his invisibility cloak.

Although he had asked Ron questions in Professor McGonagall's office, he didn't expect Ron to be so bold this time, and that he would be smart enough to "borrow" his invisibility cloak.

If you knew it, you should have done what Opal said, you don't have to care about what others think, and you should hide the invisibility cloak in a place that only you know, and no one will borrow it. It won't lead to the current fork......

"What do you mean......"

Obviously, Hermione also thought of the reason why Ron would do this, and her face, which was originally a little pale because she didn't have a good dinner, was now even closer to Tie Qing, "Oh my God...... He's not really stupid like that, is he? ”

"Probably...... From Ron's point of view, the matter was ordinary...... Right? ”

Swallowing, Harry pointed out a possibility with some difficulty, "Maybe I'll laugh at me for not knowing the blessings in the midst of blessings, and then stupidly think that I can turn the tide or something......"

After all, Ron didn't have the same tuition and training as he and Hermione did, and he was a typical Gryffindor, so even if they had gone through all those things together for a year or two, it would probably have been quite an "exciting" adventure for Ron - perhaps, he was still quite Gryffindor thinking that it would be nice if he could go through it a few more times......

One of the characteristics of Gryffindor: open-minded and optimistic, everything is looking in a good direction. ← is purely "remembering to eat but not remembering". By: From a number of Slytherins led by Opal.

In fact, Harry was very suspicious that if he hadn't been instructed by Opal, he might have really jumped into it without realizing it, and how could he have remembered to tell the professor about it first......

Hermione was silent at Harry's answer, and after a moment she looked up at Harry in embarrassment, "So what do we do now?" ”

“……”

Harry looked speechlessly at his friend, who was clearly panicked and rushed to the doctor's hospital—he wanted to ask someone what he was going to do now......

“…… Sure enough, I'm going to see Professor McGonagall once......"

And just when Harry was speechless, Hermione suddenly remembered something and looked at Harry eagerly, "Professor's words, there must be a way." ”

"I said Hermione......"

With a wry smile and a pull on Hermione, who was about to run out in a hurry, Harry sighed, "Have you forgotten that Professor McGonagall said she was going to find Headmaster Dumbledore when the two of us left?" Now she was definitely not in the office, and Headmaster Dumbledore's headmaster's office ...... Are you sure you know the passcode? ”

It's past dinner time, and there aren't many professors on campus, and their whereabouts are not easy to grasp - in other words, unless the professors find them themselves, Harry and Hermione can't take the initiative to ask for help.

Of course, Harry was sure of a grumpy night watchman, but again, Harry didn't think he would believe what he and Hermione were saying - maybe he'd take the opportunity to get them to work on them.

"Anyway, it's nothing more than all kinds of candy in Duke Honey, and you can always succeed if you try one by one."

And Hermione's natural answer made Harry sweat a little - using a secret phrase that even Hermione, who doesn't often enter the Headmaster's office, can guess with a "natural" expression on his face, as a passphrase, in a sense, Dumbledore can indeed be regarded as quite strong.

"Seriously Hermione, I think you should ...... wasting your time trying that kind of thing."

Scratching at his hair in some irritability, Harry took a deep breath to calm his somewhat chaotic thoughts, "Why don't you come with me to find Ron as soon as possible...... After all, I remember that the letter was about ten o'clock, and the location was also in the school, so if Ron hadn't left early, maybe we would have been able to catch up with him. ”

"So what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Resoluteness is indeed very much in line with Hermione's character, but ......

"Hermione, don't drag me away...... Feed! ”

Harry felt that if he could, it would be better not to use Hermione's style of saying that wind is rain - after all, as a boy, he couldn't refuse to be pulled away by a girl, which made him feel ...... It's so shameless......

===================I'm the divider ================= to switch scenes

Hogwarts Courtyard

、

Maybe it's because of the deep winter, the nights at Hogwarts are very cold, and Harry and Hermione have no invisibility cloaks, so they can only take turns to cast illusion spells on each other + all kinds of blind spots, sneaking is no different from being a thief.

At least compared to the training ground that Opal made with the Bing Room - but he really didn't complain, an obstacle course of such complexity could only be adapted to Slytherins who had been educated as elite as Opal and Draco as they had since childhood, right?

Exhaling a white breath, Harry, who was being pulled by Hermione to run along, thought bitterly.

The agreed place on the letter is near the beating willow, and the time is also at ten o'clock in the evening, if you take it literally, it should be to prevent rejection when some classmates see it and embarrass the two, but if you think about it from another angle, fewer people also means that the probability of doing bad things is greatly reduced.

After trotting all the way to the courtyard, making sure that he and Hermione were lucky not to be spotted by anyone, Harry gasped for air on his knees, and Hermione next to him was not much better.

"Really...... If I'm sure Ron is okay, I'll have to fix him. ”

Grunting and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Harry had no choice but to cheer himself up like this, because the Weasleys' family background was too much for them to think of "knocking them up".

From his direction, he could vaguely see the appearance of the beating willow in the distance, but there was no light in sight from there—and it was precisely because of this that he had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, is it a trap?

Looking around, Harry checked the time, and found that it should be about half past nine in the evening, maybe because it was early and the night might be, but why didn't there be anyone except for the beating willow, and the professors who were supposed to appear were not there?

Is that really okay?

As soon as the thought popped into his head, Harry shook his head, trying to put the thought out of his mind - it's already here, and it would be shameless to do nothing, right?

Just as Harry and Hermione were slowly walking towards the beating willow, they just turned the corner and were greeted by a white magic light.

“！” X2

Although he was already on alert, Harry, who had no idea that he would be attacked by a spell on campus, was immediately hit by the spell.

"Harry!"

Hermione, who was following Harry, let out a startled cry, but then looked at her in disbelief.

A bright silver light flashed from Harry's body, and a mirror-like shield was placed in front of him, reflecting the spell completely.

"Kara!"

Then, Harry's body was heard with the sound of something shattering.

“……”

Almost immediately, after retracting the obstacle around the corner, Harry patted his clothes with trepidation, and then pulled out a broken brooch from under his robe - this was a small trinket given to him by Opal last year because of the basilisk, the style was very simple and elegant, and the material looked very ordinary, so Harry would basically carry it with him.

This time, he could almost be said to have been saved by this defensive ornament - the spell just now, judging from the light, should be an evil spell.

I owe Opal a big favor again.

Harry couldn't help but think so, and then optimistically said that he already owed Opal a lot of favors anyway, and the so-called debts were too much, and Opal wouldn't really bother with him about this kind of thing anyway, no difference! (Celestial sound: Harry, Xiao Ao knows that if you think like this, you will definitely "die" ugly...... ）

Then Harry caught the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the other side of the corner - but what to say, the footsteps seemed to be a little strange.

Hermione and Harry exchanged a look - do you want to chase it?

――Safety first, right? I didn't want to take a second hit at that kind of attack, but Opal only gave me such a trinket.

-- Yes.

After flicking out the wand that had been in his sleeve and casting himself a "Protego", Harry took a small mirror that Hermione had pulled out of her arms and carefully used the "Wingardium.Leviosa" control to peek out from the top of the corner to peek over there.

Then, through the mirror, Harry saw a human figure. The man was short, not much taller than Harry and Hermione - of course, it might have been a little distorted in the mirror. The pale hair looked thin and unkempt, and the top of the head was even bald. He looked like an obese man who had lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, his skin was a little loose and drooping, he had no luster of a healthy person at all, and he looked dirty with dirt, his nose was pointed, and his eyes looked small.

Mouse?

That was Harry's first reaction - the man he saw in the mirror really felt too much like a mouse.

The man was clutching a wand in his hand, staring nervously at the corner where Harry and Hermione were, the light on the wand flickering, as if it was about to fire a spell at any moment—the "departing footsteps" Harry had just heard was just a decoy he had taken out.

It's just that Harry is a little difficult at the moment, as if no matter how he plans, it seems that he has to rush out and get a spell first, and then the plan can be launched - of course, if he is fast enough, maybe he doesn't have to take that spell, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, Harry is afraid of this.

After all, when they used to fight each other in the Requirement Room, he and Hermione were choked by the accurate prediction and hit rate of Opal and Draco. No matter what you say, safety comes first.

"Harry, why don't I try it?"

After retracting her gaze from the mirror, Hermione quietly tugged at Laharry's clothes and whispered, "Anyway, you can't freeze here, can you?" ”

"No, Hermione, you go find ...... Go find Filch. ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Harry dismissed Hermione's idea, "You're a good student, Filch is much more polite to you than I am, and if you can pretend to be a little bit like you have something urgent to find a professor, Filch should be accommodating." ”

In fact, Harry actually thought of Snape for a moment, but then the thought was thrown at him - just kidding, Gryffindor going to Slytherin for help? And he is also known to be the most eccentric Potions professor...... Do you think there aren't enough rubies in the hourglass, or are you impatient?

"Then you ......"

Hermione disagreed.

"In actual training, I usually score higher than you."

Seeing that Hermione seemed to want to refute, Harry frowned, "And all I can do is procrastinate, and the biggest help in this situation should be to teach them...... So, please. ”

"I see, then you should be careful."

As if convinced by Harry, Hermione nodded, turned and ran away. Harry watched her leave, put away the little mirror, and after adding a "Protego" to himself, he rushed out.

Now, he can only gamble on his character.

Clearly, though, luck favored Harry. Because when he was ready to rush out, it wasn't an attack, but someone with a concerned look: [Harry, are you alright?] ]

The silver-white hair swayed slightly in the night breeze, and the clear pigeon-blood-red eyes made Harry's tense nerves immediately relax: "Opal? ”

[Well, it's me.] ]

Tilting her head, Opal neatly withdrew the wand in her sleeve, and at her feet, the rat-like man Harry had seen before was walking there where his life and death were unknown, [I found Harry...... You're really easy to get caught up in all kinds of incidents......]

"Do you think about it?"

Scratching at his already messy hair in some distress, Harry suddenly reacted, "No, why are you here, Opal?" I remember you didn't choose to stay in school this holiday, right? ”

[I was a guest at a friend's house in the Forbidden Forest, and I sensed that the amulet I gave you was broken.] ]

Opal shrugged his shoulders and replied very easily, [Please let my friend send me here, huh...... You've seen that friend Harry, the unicorn. But it had something to do with itself, so it sent me here and left first. ]

"Huh?!"

Harry was dumbfounded, "Opal, you're friends with that unicorn?!" ”

[Can't I have friends?] ]

Opal raised an eyebrow, "Harry, your reaction hurts!] ]

"No...... No, I just felt a little surprised......"

But when he thought about it, Harry thought it was a matter of course, after all, Opal and the unicorn felt very similar, and it was not impossible for them to become friends.

[Don't talk about that.] ]

As if he didn't want to dwell on this, Opal raised his chin and pouted at the man at his feet, [Can you explain what the hell is going on?] ]

"Actually, I'm pretty confused......"

Out of trust in Opal, Harry didn't ask anything more, "I'm afraid it started with a love letter Ron received to me......"
