Chapter 35: The Ghosts and the Suspicions

"To 3 ......"

"I can't afford it."

While Brandi was fighting hard in the fifth seal, Harry and Ron had already completed the first seal - no doubt, the two of them didn't stay long in the psychic realm before they were kicked out one after the other. And there are no good things in the room of the first seal, and the box in the white hall has been opened.

So after only half an hour, they were sitting bored on the steps of the underground hall. Ron somehow dug out of his pocket the wizarding poker that had been played for fun in the history of magic a few days ago, and was pulling Harry to play hard.

Seeing that Harry couldn't afford them, he spat at the goblin drawn on the two cards of the 3 poker in his direction, a look of disdain on his face.

At this time, a faint ripple appeared in the portal of the fifth seal.

"Ron, Brandi, they're out." Relieved, Harry threw the poker on the ground, covering the arrogant expression of the pair of threes, and he poked Ron before hurrying to meet him.

"You're so slow, we'll wait until the flowers are gone. Eh, what's wrong with Parvati, getting into trouble again? He was surprised to find Parvati walking out of it with his eyebrows lowered and pleasing to his eyes, holding his hair all the time. (She had never walked properly, she was always jumping and jumping), followed by Hermione and Brandy, who was as white as paper. The latter walked with trembling legs and stomachs......

“…… Oh, it's all right, she's just ruined what she cherishes because of her own recklessness. Hermione looked like she wanted to laugh, but seeing Parvati rarely reflecting so seriously, she didn't dare to laugh.

As if to prove what Hermione had said, Parvati craned her shoulders, looking even more sullen.

"Hi...... Isn't it just a hair ring, and it's not worth much, how about I make one for you this Christmas? Brandi said funny, laughing like that, he almost sat on the floor. Besides, don't you get something more valuable than that? It was a lost spell—and it was so special. ”

"Oh, it's different! How can a single spell compare to my bunch! Parvati looked at the broken hair ring in half, it had just burst out with a rough shield at the critical moment, saving Parvati's life - although Hermione also lent her something to save her life, she just stubbornly thought that Brandi had saved her.

How can this kind of feeling be compared to a broken spell that can only be used with his own fierce sister!

"Really...... None of you will know what a real wizard battle is like unless you go in and fight. "As they slowly moved up from the ground, Hermione kept looking back at the battle with relish - she was good at summing up the experience." Harry, you and Ron had better hurry up and master the Iron Armor Charm, you won't have any lethal spells anyway, and you can practice duels in it! ”

She recited the points to note and the clever use of some small spells, and returned to the room with everyone. Harry and Ron were still engrossed in learning something at first, but Hermione was used to saying important things thirty times...... When she mentioned once again that the Expansion Charm could create a temporary shelter for wizards for a short time, Harry finally couldn't stand the noise in his ears. As soon as he saw the light, he couldn't wait to run out of the cave first—he walked towards the whirlpool back, he glanced unconsciously at the small wooden box by the well, and let out an exclamation.

"Come on!"

Everyone walked up to him for some reason, his voice trembling in horror: "That bottle of potion, the last bottle of potion has been drunk!" ”

The original intense and exciting adventure suddenly seemed insignificant under this sudden event.

Each of them saw Ron put the waking potion back in the box, and no one returned. Then there could only be one case, and that was the sixth person who had entered the room with them at the time.

A man they can't see.

Think about how terrible that must be......

As if they had seen a ghost, they crawled out of the vault and rushed back to the lounge without stopping. Only then did they discover that the least daring of the five was not Parvati, who looked eccentric, but Ron, who had been bragging about his various adventures. When Brandi and the others returned to the dorm, Ron slipped into bed, revealing his big, round ass like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

"Brandi." At this time, Harry greeted Brandi in a low voice, and pointed to his box with a solemn expression.

Brandi looked over...... Without Harry explaining, he'd already figured out what the problem was.

In the faint moonlight, his chest was wide open, and its contents were turned into a mess.

Harry's cloak of invisibility was gone.

………………

This incident dealt a very heavy blow to Harry, not to mention how precious the Invisibility Cloak was, but the fact that it was a rare relic of Harry's father showed its place in Harry's heart. To comfort him, Brandi sat with him by the bed for most of the night.

"We'll get it back, I swear!" He had promised Harry so much that he had promised. Until the latter really can't resist the attack of the Sandman.

The next morning, Brandy, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by a rude voice. The voice sounded like that of an upperclassman.

"W-what?" He heard Harry say in a daze, that he had slept late last night.

"Quidditch training, Harry!" Oliver Wood said with a straight face.

They had exchanged a few words, and Harry got up, washed up, and hurried out. Brandi wanted to roll over and continue to sleep, but suddenly a question came to his mind, and he sat up all at once. Puzzled eyes looked around the bedroom.

He distinctly remembered that he had locked the door of his bedroom before going to bed...... Everyone was sleeping soundly in bed again.

So how did Wood get in?

A chill down his spine and a strange idea popped up at him. The vanishing cloak of invisibility, the last extra bottle of potion in the treasury, the door that was closed but opened for some reason—were these really just coincidences that happened at the same time?

Or is there a problem with one of the other people in the dorm? But Harry had the Cloak of Invisibility, and they had never mentioned it to Neville!

Neville, Seamus, Dean. Where did the man who had stolen Harry's Cloak of Invisibility and followed them to the Treasury go to the Treasury in the middle of the night?

Be vigilant...... Dumbledore's voice began to ring in his ears again.

With that faint chill and palpitations, Brandi collapsed on the bed and slowly fell back asleep.

I don't know how long I slept again, but by the time Ron shook him, the sun was already high up.

"Harry left us a note, he's trained at Quidditch, do you want to come with me to see it?"

Brandi blinked sleepily, looked at the empty dormitory except for the two of them, and nodded subconsciously. "Call Hermione and the others...... I have something to tell you. ”

“…… How is this possible? You said someone in your dorm stole the Cloak of Invisibility, drank the last potion, and slipped out of the dorm room in the middle of the night! "At the moment they were sitting on the high platform of the Quidditch arena, but for some reason, Harry hadn't come out for training yet. After listening to Brandy's speculation, the four of them immediately quarreled.

"It's just my personal speculation, Hermione...... I have no evidence of this. Brandi whispered in defense, lowering his voice, "And I've always wondered if we should be tight-lipped about Harry's invisibility cloak, so who else but us can know he has it?" ”

"Huh...... About that. Ron said with some embarrassment, "I think I probably told them...... But it is possible that we didn't, didn't we win the House Cup last year, maybe I'll mention it when I brag about it...... Just maybe. ”

"How can you still do such an unreliable thing!" Hermione glared at him angrily, "This will increase the scope of our investigation infinitely—God knows if they can spread it everywhere." Well, the whole second-year boy is almost the target of our suspicions......"

"Hermione, and the first-year girl, I seem to have seen a little girl sneaking upstairs at night the day before yesterday~" Parvati reminded, "although she quickly ran away with a red face"

"What! You're not talking about Ginny! Ron nearly fell out of his seat, his neck craned, his eyes twinkling with horror. I don't know why his first reaction was his own sister......

"No way, probably not, she forgets to breathe when she sees Harry...... I hadn't found her suffocating on the floor in our dorm room early in the morning. ”

“…… Eh, I said why did she look out of breath when she came back, it turned out to be holding her breath or something else. An untimely mending, Ron's face turned green.

They were stretching the conversation to an indescribably strange angle when the door under the platform suddenly opened, and several men in blond-red clothes walked in with brooms. "It's Harry, they're coming—huh? Why is Slytherin there, and is there a friendly today? Ron muttered.

Harry had just taken off when several green-robed men walked in, all with broomsticks in their hands.

The Gryffindors flew down, and they seemed to be chatting there...... Brandi saw a figure in Slytherin that wasn't supposed to be there.

"Let's go down and have a look."
