Chapter 051: To Hogsmeade

Catherine, Penelope, and Cedric all stretched out their hands and motioned for the students of the same house to retreat, and the two Gryffindor prefects hurriedly followed when they saw this, but their prestige was not as high as Percy's, and some Gryffindors did not buy their face at all and remained in place.

Seeing that the sparks that exploded were in the middle of the two, Ixesy and Percy increased their magic output at the same time, but the state of holding each other continued, until both of them burst out of the strength of the seventh-order peak, and the sparks that exploded slowly moved towards Percy's side.

Seeing that Percy had lost the upper hand, Gryffindor, who was still in place, couldn't help but clench their wands and take a step forward, seeing this, Catherine also led the Slytherin chiefs, took a step forward, and put on a posture of preparation, and the situation suddenly became tense for a while.

It was clear that when Percy was truly defeated by Ixissi, a new scuffle would definitely break out again, and it would definitely be even more terrifying than before, because this time, neither Slytherin nor Gryffindor would choose to stay behind.

Therefore, Penelope and Cedric hurriedly took the students of their respective academies and retreated a large part again, leaving the center of the auditorium completely to the two academies that were ready to fight to the death, and secretly instructed the students of their own academies to prepare defensive magic in case they were accidentally injured.

"What are you doing!"

A shout suddenly erupted in the door of the Great Hall, and it was Professor McGonagall's voice.

"Spread out!"

As soon as the headmaster spoke, and then thought of the possible punishment that followed, the Gryffindors suddenly became listless, and they retreated to the sides, making way for a passage to the center of the auditorium.

On the contrary, Percy's body, which was originally close to exhaustion, suddenly burst out with a new magic power, and the momentum that filled the heavens and the earth was announcing the birth of a new strong man to everyone.

"O Merlin! He actually really rose to the eighth order! Draco shouted out the fact in shock.

Catherine frowned and walked quickly to Ixissi, shooting a green glow. Catching up with the surging red light from Percy's side, the distracted Ixace hurriedly focused his attention and drove the approaching red light back together.

Percy, who had just advanced, was still unable to control his magic power freely, but he knew very well that once it completely exploded, it would definitely affect other students, so he hurriedly tried his best to restrain it.

"Go up!" Catherine shouted, and the three of them raised their wands at the same time, and two green lights and a red light smashed into the ceiling, bursting into a large field of brilliant fireworks that lit up the entire auditorium.

"What the hell is going on?" Professor McGonagall shouted again. The man also walked quickly to the center of the auditorium.

All the students looked at each other, but none of them answered, except that Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff all bowed their heads, while Slytherin all stubbornly tilted their heads.

"Three to one! You're amazing! Professor McGonagall saw through the truth at a glance, "Two hundred points will be deducted from each house!" Except for Slytherin! ”

"Whoa!" With a loud bang, the scores of the three houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff were instantly cleared.

"Who started it?" Professor McGonagall asked abruptly, and the Slytherins all looked neatly at Torah. Kensaut, who was hanging upside down from the ceiling of the auditorium, had no way of saving him.

"It's you again!" As soon as I saw this first grade who was in trouble again. Professor McGonagall couldn't help but be furious, "Slytherin deducts a hundred points!" ”

The Slytherin Hourglass, which was already less precious than the other houses, was suddenly left alone.

Professor McGonagall suddenly felt that she was sorry for the other students who had been implicated, but Hogwarts was all about collective honor. She couldn't hold Torah alone. Kenshott's score alone.

"All those who fight are locked up, is there anyone against it?" Professor McGonagall concluded, and all the students immediately shook their heads, including Slytherin.

Professor McGonagall opened her mouth. I wanted to say that Slytherin didn't need to, but when I thought of the proverb "a slap can't be slapped", I shut my mouth and stopped talking about it.

Everyone immediately left the auditorium. Whether you have enough to eat or not, now send me to the classroom and stay in the classroom, and if I don't have class, go to the library, and I will instruct the house-elves not to prepare food for any of the students before dinner, as punishment for your spoiled food. ”

Professor McGonagall's order drew protests from all the students, but at the sight of the food scraps that littered every corner of the auditorium, all the children bowed their heads in shame and lined up to leave the auditorium.

"What are you going to do?" Draco asked his friend softly, he knew very well that by the time Catherine arrived, it was already a mess.

"It's okay!" Catherine couldn't help but be glad she had some food in the professor's chair just now, "At most, I'll go straight to dinner." ”

"That's right!" Draco nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Have you fallen out with my godfather again?" ”

The surrounding Slytherins immediately pricked up their ears, they hadn't forgotten the lesson of two years ago.

"Why do you think that?" Catherine was surprised and asked who had leaked the news that Snape was found lying in the hospital.

"If not, why have you been avoiding him lately, not even attending Potions class." Draco had a look of "I was the truth", and the Slytherin next to him nodded in agreement.

"That's what you say!" Catherine secretly broke out in a cold sweat in her heart, not being able to meet her past and future selves, it was a ban on time travel, even if she could use polyjuice decoction to change her appearance, but she didn't expect to cause other Slytherins to have such a misunderstanding.

"We will not interfere in private matters between you and the dean." Before Catherine could think of an excuse, Ixissi came over and patted her on the shoulder, "You just need to remember that Slytherin can't afford any deductions. ”

"Don't worry!" Knowing the reason for their concern, Catherine couldn't help but smile with relief, "He won't be angry this time." ”

When Snape was angry, the Slytherins couldn't help but be surprised, and Catherine realized that she had slipped her mouth and simply pretended to be stupid.

Seeing Catherine pretending to be stupid, the others knew that they would definitely not be able to ask the reason for a while, so they put away their doubts for the time being, and tried to figure it out when they had the opportunity.

Three days before Halloween, Dumbledore still hadn't found a suitable substitute teacher, and Madam Pomfrey had to reluctantly wake Snape up.

When Snape found out that he had been in bed for ten days, he was so angry that he scolded everyone in the know, and Catherine was ordered to stay in the medical wing for three days to make sure there were no after-effects.

Catherine obediently complied, but on the morning of Halloween, she secretly asked Madam Pomfrey for leave, after all, Brace had already arranged for her, and she naturally couldn't deliberately miss the meeting with his mother, Madame Zabini, even if Snape had ordered it beforehand.

Since Snape still refused to sign the autograph, Catherine had to take the secret passage behind the hunchbacked one-eyed witch on the fourth floor of the castle to reach Hogsmeade Village, and on the way she found the vigilance magic arranged by Dumbledore, she couldn't help but stop to study it for a while, and finally only made sure that Sirius did not enter Hogwarts from here.

When she reached the top of the stone steps at the end of the tunnel, Catherine couldn't help but think of the first time she was here last semester, and her heart beat a few beats faster.

"Thinking is really not something that can be lightly controlled." Catherine smiled self-deprecatingly, then gently pushed open the floor door, and threw the tip of her staff out to cast a spell, and the scene immediately above the floor door was completely in front of her.

It was a cellar, surrounded by wooden chairs and wooden chests, and there was a wooden staircase that connected to the upper floor, and at the end of the staircase was a wooden door, and then the wooden door was opened, and a tall man with a shiny head walked briskly down the stairs, picked up a large suitcase, and staggered upstairs, and looked out through the unclosed door, and saw a bunch of students crowded in front of the counter to buy sweets, apparently this was Ambrosius. The Duke of Honey confectionery store run by the Froomes.

Catherine frowned slightly, canceled the light and shadow in front of her, then shook her wand and added a disillusionment charm to herself, before pushing open the floor door and climbing up to the cellar, restoring the floor and erasing any remaining traces, before finally walking softly up the stairs.

Catherine threw a spell at the wooden door, causing it to slowly open as if it wasn't closed, and when the busy Mrs. Froome turned her gaze back to the crowded students, she quickly slipped out the door, bending down from the side to get out of the counter, canceling the illusion charm and applying the confusion charm, then straightened up and blended into the crowd.

The streets were full of Hogwarts students, the shops were decorated with Halloween costumes, and there was a lively festive atmosphere everywhere, and Catherine didn't know where to go for a while, but luckily she had a map of Hogsmeade Village from the senior in advance, so as soon as she recognized the direction, she turned and followed the main road away from Hogwarts.

Passing by Jokowi's joke shop and the Fengya brand wizard clothing store, Catherine turned into the path opposite the quill shop in the literati house, a small bar on the left side of the path, and a tattered wooden sign hung on a rusty stand, on which a severed boar's head was depicted, and the blood stains permeated the white cloth that encased it, making people feel creepy and daunting at the sight.

Catherine couldn't help but twitch at the sight of the ghost of the pig's head bar, and now she finally understood why Trelawney's prophecy had been overheard, and that it was strange if there was a room in this place that didn't leak air.

After seeing the two hooded wizards coming in and out, Catherine pulled up the hat of her cloak and hid her face and hair before stepping into the small, dark, dirty, and smelly room.

The bar never looked like it had been cleaned, the windows were so thick with dirt that the light barely let in, so there was a pile of candles on every rough wooden table, and the floor was originally paved with stone, but now almost compacted dirt. (To be continued......)
