Chapter 173: Hayne's Law of Night Travel
Harry and Ron were running wild.
Myrtle is crying.
If you give her a cute outfit, it will be a proper midnight chest.
Now it is more than hate, and not enough deterrence.
However, the sound of her crying spread very widely. It had to do with Harry's speed with Ron.
Wherever they ran, the cry was heard.
Myrtle's midnight card alarm clock completely entangled the two.
So, this wave came down and woke up half of the castle.
Ron turned his head and cursed Myrtle to stop following.
But this kind of swearing only makes Myrtle more excited.
Run,
Sprint,
The more you sprint, the harder I cry.
Harry ignored the two and began digging into his pockets for the cloak.
Harry just wanted to dodge all the professors and take a shortcut back to the common room.
But how do you say that...... Don't play with your 'phone' when you walk, but concentrate. Otherwise, sooner or later you will roll down the stairs.
Harry didn't pay attention to the aisle, still tidying up the invisibility cloak.
Halfway through his run, one leg suddenly sank into a prankster step.
Ron scolded Zhenghuan, but he didn't pay attention to it, and he also fell into it.
Then, the two stumbled and fell to the ground, rolling down the stairs like invincible Hot Wheels.
Bony bang!
They were shattered, and Harry struggled to pull out the invisibility cloak and cover him.
and covered Ron, who was already dying, inside.
Tapping footsteps could be heard in the distance.
Filch came running panting, his voice trembling with anger.
"What are you doing here? Want to wake up everyone in the castle? I'm going to catch you, myrtle, and make you cry again......"
When she saw Filch, Myrtle stopped crying and hummed a little song proudly over Harry and Ron.
"Filch? What happened? ”
Filch turned around, and there was a man standing at the bottom of the stairs—Professor Snape.
Getting rid of Karkaroff, Snape wanted to go to Dumbledore, but he thought it was time for the Headmaster to sleep, and he was ready to sleep.
I didn't expect to be noisy upstairs as soon as I changed into pajamas.
"It's myrtle, Professor," Filch whispered viciously, "and she's here in the middle of the night to weep so deliberately that everyone can't sleep. ”
"Myrtle?" Snape whispered, eyes fixed on her.
"No way, she won't cry for no reason, someone must provoke her...... There are students on the night tour! ”
"Oh roar, who is it, tell us quickly, Myrtle!" Filch's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"I don't know, guess what, hehe~"
Myrtle laughed a few times and ran away.
"It must be around here!" Snape stared down the stairs, his gaze straight across Harry and Ron's bodies, and then he looked down down the hallway below.
"Filch, I want you to keep searching the neighborhood until you find the students on the night tour."
"Okay, Professor!" Filch grinned.
"If I catch him, I'll make him feel the whip and the candle."
Harry swallowed and begged the other to not go up the stairs. As long as you walk by, you can definitely step on them.
Just then, Mad-Eye Moody limped out.
Outside his long shirt-style pajamas, Moody wore his old travel cloak and leaned on crutches as usual.
"Pajama party, huh?" He said gruffly towards the top of the stairs.
"Professor Snape and I have spotted the students of the night tour, Professor," Filch said at once.
"Really? That's weird. Moody limped over.
"Under my search, there are still students who dare to swim at night!"
Some time ago, Moody's launched a large number of night tour arrest operations, which deterred many students.
I didn't expect that a Christmas had passed, and there were still people who dared to commit crimes against the wind.
Moody took another step towards the stairs, his magical eyes sweeping over Snape and then towards the ground.
Harry silently prayed that Moody wouldn't find him.
But the mad-eyed man's words immediately caused him to fall off a cliff.
"Found it, that's a nice cloak, isn't it, Potter!"
Moody walked slowly towards Harry.
Harry's heart was dead.
He had just had a glimmer of fantasy that Moody would let him go and tolerate him.
Moody lifted the Cloak of Invisibility, revealing Harry and Ron.
"Aha, Potter and Weasley!" An inexplicable smile crossed Professor Snape's face.
"Potter likes to hang out in the middle of the night...... It's just one of his many disgusting bad habits. ”
Snape's face was full of schadenfreude, and he said in a strange manner:
"For the sake of Potter's own safety, Professor Dumbledore would be willing to get up from his bed and personally 'care' for the boy who never died.
If the headmaster hadn't been, he could have asked Potter why he was out in the middle of the night. ”
Harry shuddered at Snape's words.
Moody shook his head and said, "No, these two kids are injured, it's time to take them to the school hospital." ”
Harry was fine, just a little swollen with a blue nose and a swollen face.
Ron's injuries were a bit more severe, with a lot of blood from his nose and a broken arm.
"No......" Professor Snape said viciously. It's time to see the principal. ”
Moody turned to stare at Snape, the light of the torches brushing over his contorted face, making the scars and the gaping hole in his nose seem deeper and more eerie than ever.
"I said send it to the school hospital!" His voice was low.
Snape looked at Moody, expressionless. For a while, no one moved, no one spoke.
After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "Whatever you want." ”
"However, because of the night tour of Porter and Weasley, two hundred and fifty...... Gryffindor deducts 500 points! Professor Snape announced.
Moody didn't speak, glancing in a certain direction, then waved his wand and left with Harry and Ron.
After everyone left, William's figure slowly appeared in the air.
His wand trembled, and the figures of Hermione and Annie appeared beside him.
It can only be said that it was a coincidence that the three of them left Tryne's ship, and before they entered the castle, they heard Myrtle's cry.
So, William hurriedly cast the illusion spell and hid to the side.
"Professor Moody just spotted us, William." Hermione whispered. "Why didn't he find out about us?"
"Because when school started, Dumbledore told Moody that I could go to his office at night as I liked." William explained.
Otherwise, with Moody's character, William will definitely be pulled out.
"Professor Snape has deducted too many points!" Anne dissatisfied: "Five hundred...... Gryffindor is at the bottom again! ”
"It's okay, Annie, Gryffindor has been at the bottom for years." William laughed.
"You have to learn to get used to it."
Hermione and Annie both gave him blank looks.
"Alright, I'll take you both back to the common room, and Professor Moody will search the castle in a moment."
William was right, and Professor Moody conducted another big search in the evening.
The Christmas dance party apparently contributed to a lot of couples.
In the middle of the night, many students are secretly dating.
Then, he was arrested.
When everyone woke up the next day, they suddenly found that their house points had been reduced a lot.
The one with the least and the most is Gryffindor.
For others to travel at night, a maximum of 50 points will be deducted. Harry and Ron were deducted two hundred and fifty by Professor Snape.
One person is better than five!
Professor McGonagall questioned the magnitude of the deduction.
In the past, she thought that Gryffindor would not win the House Cup, and even if it was second place, it would be the biggest loser.
Later, she thought it would be nice to finish second.
By the time Harry and Ron had enrolled, Professor McGonagall's expectations had lowered.
She found that as long as she didn't break the lowest score history, it was already hard to get.
You don't have to think about the Academy Cup, you can accept the penultimate one.
But Professor McGonagall couldn't see that Gryffindor was making history again.
Professor Snape has an explanation for that.
In his words:
According to the famous Hayne's Law,
Behind a back-blown night tour, there are 29 night tours, 300 unsuccessful attempts to travel at night, and 1,000 heart-warming ideas.
It can be seen that the deduction of Harry and Ron is already considered a deduction.
It's just well-founded!
