Chapter Twenty-Six: An Unbreakable Oath

In the evening, Brandi finally came back sneakily, and when he crawled into the common room, everyone thought he had eaten badly, because he had been hanging his face and his hands were tightly covering his lower abdomen. The kind-hearted Parvati tried to persuade him to take medicine, and he was very touched and then gave up on the treatment.

Just half an hour earlier, he had been reluctantly forced into a vicious PY deal with Professor Dumbledore. This deal has a very inevitable connection with his current strange situation.

He staggered up the stairs, threw the two pieces of his robe into his suitcase like a hot potato, and then he screamed, buried himself in the quilt, and wrapped himself tightly.

"Oh my god, why is this so cold?!"

Just now, Brandi originally just wanted to satisfy his curiosity and left, but who knew that Professor Dumbledore waved his wand lightly, and two scales about the size of a palm automatically flew out of the pile of dragon scales, and flew in front of Brandi for unknown reasons.

Then, he made a deal with Brandi - two of Arashi's scales in exchange for a promise from Brandy.

The scales of the arashiro have inherited some of the characteristics of the arashinosaurus itself, and as the overlord of the Siberian snowfields, it is itself a terrifying being who controls the ice, snow and wind. At that time, nearly 100 wizards from the Moscow Ministry of Magic surrounded it in a cave and jointly released a large hybrid spell to knock it out completely...... And then I got these scales from the cave that this adult Lanlong had shed over the past ten years.

…… As for why you don't kill it, it's probably because this dragon species with ancient bloodlines has become more and more rare. In short, this terrifying creature has some incredible abilities attached to it, even if it is a toenail. Not to mention the most solid scales on the back, which, according to Dumbledore, can reflect and block some higher-level evil spells! Even some deadly spells have a certain protective effect, which is simply a must-have medicine for killing people and setting fire to people's lives!

So it's a poisonous medicine, and its side effects are also obvious, and this thing can make the person who holds it feel the 'enthusiasm' from the Siberian winter all year round. Although Hagrid repeatedly offered to help Brandy wrap up a few layers of cotton cloth before leaving, Brandi did not take his advice because his stomach was too big and suspicious to hide things.

So he'll regret it, the kind with his intestines green.

………………

It's strange to say, how could the principal have such a strange request? Brandi warmed her frozen body from the dragon scales, looked up at the gauze tent and draperies above the bed, and remembered what the two had said before leaving.

"I know that you may be anxious to solve your problems, and as a professor I am very happy and willing to provide you with the corresponding places and opportunities, so in the next month, from twelve o'clock to two o'clock in the evening, I will allow you to stay up a little late and stay in the break room or classroom thirteen to do your work... But just one thing, only those two places during that time, and it was absolutely forbidden to wander around the rest of the castle! Also, don't reveal anything about me and you to anyone, and of course, in return, I'll swear not to reveal your situation to anyone, even if it's a secret between us, how about it? Dumbledore smiled, his eyes soft as the tranquil sea, as if he trusted him unreservedly.

"Okay professor!" Brandi was so excited that he could keep the same secret as Dumbledore! That's the greatest wizard in England and even Europe! "I can swear!"

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that something cold seemed to have been born from his wand, and a silver-white light floated out like smoke, intertwined with the same breath on Dumbledore's wand.

What is that?

"Remember, you must strictly abide by every word of this agreement, or I will give you a series of privileges, and maybe shut you up if you are in a bad mood. Filch has worked hard enough, and your reckless behavior the day before yesterday even made him check in the faculty lounge for a night, and it seems that he has a bit of a cold! Of course, you can rest assured that as long as you keep the agreement, he won't bother you. He waved his hand at Brandy, put away his wand in style, and strode away with the large bag of things.

At that time, Brandi was very happy, and he didn't expect that the principal would give himself the right to go out in the middle of the night, even though the location of the event was relatively limited...... But that's also a privilege!

This satisfied Brandi's little vanity~ He has always been in the spotlight all the time, but basically they are the savior and Miss Know-it-all, the former is well-known in the wizarding world, and it would be more surprising if there were few students pointing him at him on the road; Hermione, on the other hand, used her diligent study and an absolutely huge amount of reading...... There is also a little bit of a bad personality that is well known in first-year circles.

Only Brandi and Ron are usually inconspicuous and awkward characters who are in a human background all year round. Although he doesn't really care about this for the time being... But if he could be valued a little more, he would be very happy.

It's just that on the way back, after the feverish brain was cooled down by the two natural refrigerators, he suddenly felt a little strange, and Dumbledore's request to him seemed to be particularly inconsistent. Especially when Dumbledore said this, that meaningful look made Brandy's head unable to turn until now.

Why do you limit your time to 12 to 2 o'clock? The curfew starts at 10 o'clock...... And told me that Filch was hard? If he doesn't come to me to trouble me, can I mess with him......

And also... That strange magic?

Be sure to strictly abide by every word of this agreement......?

That sounds awkward!

Brandi lay in bed, unable to think of an answer. He suddenly remembered that he really needed to take the initiative to provoke Filch today, and he had to go out before twelve o'clock to complete the task of intercepting Filch. So he wanted to get up and set a watch for the alarm, but he just picked up the alarm clock and fixed his eyes on the dial. A powerful drowsiness struck him suddenly, and he felt the world spin around, and his frozen mind was fixed on the slight movement of Dumbledore when he put away his wand earlier.

Professor! You're cheating me again!

………………

Soon after, the night came as scheduled.

Brandi woke up in a daze, his head dazed by the spell, and he couldn't think of anything for a while. I only felt that my mouth was very dry, so I sat up in a daze, and gently slipped up Yaruti, who was sleeping above his belly, and put it aside.

He looked around, it seemed to be late by now, and everyone had finally exhausted their energy. They are sleeping sweetly in their respective quilts. Huh? Harry and Ron's bed............ He swept over the nearest two's beds, which were empty.

Kindness? Empty?

He leaned over with some confusion, and his hand touched Ron's messy futon, which had already become cold, thinking that he had been out for a while. I really don't know what the two of them are sneaking out to do on the big night.

Trembling, he put on his coat and walked towards the common room. The fire was still shining downstairs, and the dry wood in the fireplace was crackling and exuding a compelling warmth. He drank a glass of water and cleared his mind a little......

"Oops!" Then the functioning brain passed the last thoughts he had before he fell asleep, and he tapped his head in frustration and looked at the wall clock in the lounge. Sure enough, the time had already pointed to 12:40......

Harry and Ron had already gone to duel.

"Dumbledore, the dead old man...... It's a shame that I trust him so much......" Brandi thought hatefully, obviously he had been talking to him for so long, and told Dumbledore everything he had learned, but he didn't expect Dumbledore to use spells to sinister him. Shouldn't they have established a rudimentary trust between them?

…… Huh? Wait, why did he do that? Just to have some fun?

!!! Thinking of this, Brandi suddenly had a terrifying thought, and this terrible guess left him standing on the spot, dazed and at a loss.

Did they not want me to interfere with Filch's actions?

Oops! Harry and Ron are in danger! Dumbledore was deliberately trying to get Filch to catch them!

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran upstairs to change his clothes, and at this time he didn't care about completing his agreement with Dumbledore. It wasn't quite clear why Dumbledore wanted Filch to arrest the two of them, but if Harry and Ron were caught wandering at night and expelled from school......

He put on his leather shoes in a panic and quickly opened the dormitory door, intending to rush downstairs.

Then.

There was a rattle of jingling bells and all sorts of loud panting breaths from downstairs.

Someone came back.

………………

"Huh? What's going on, didn't you go to a fight, why did you change it to a race? Brandy, who looked at his friend in front of him like a mess and wanted to go out to save people, was dumbfounded. I didn't expect them to come back safe and sound! Could it be that I am thinking wrong?

"Also, Neville Hermione, I was about to go out to save Harry and Ron, but I didn't expect you two to go too? Is there still a shortage of male and female referees for duels? ”

"Hear me Brandi, the no-go area on the fourth floor... Yes... There are monsters ......"

"It has three heads!"

"I'm scared to death~"

After a long time, they regained their energy and began to chatter.

Brandi, who listened to it for a long time to understand, could only look confused, I have to say, what these people have experienced is really weird, and the souvenir exhibition room is obviously on the third floor...... It's a bit far from the forbidden area on the fourth floor, according to what they said, the four people are just running around the corridors and doorposts on that floor, how can they run to the fourth floor in a daze?

Did you accidentally cross a secret passage that led to the fourth floor?

"What do you think they're trying to do by locking up such a horrible monster in a school?" After the story was told, Ron was the first to ask.

Hermione was relieved now, and her bad temper returned: "What are you doing with all your eyes?" Don't you see what's under its feet? “

"You mean the floor?" Harry was puzzled, "I didn't pay attention to its feet, I just looked at its three disgusting heads." ”

"No, I don't mean the floor. It stands on top of a trapdoor. It's clear that it's guarding something. ”

Hermione stood up and glared at them. and handed Brandi a strange look, as if he was both happy and dissatisfied? Isn't that a paradox?

"A big liar promised me before...... Said that Filch would never disturb Harry, your duel. "She pretended to wrinkle her nose, and she looked very cute in the firelight." But I'm quite satisfied with his peace of mind~ I hope you will learn a lesson. We almost lost our lives tonight – or, we all had to be fired. Okay, I'll go back to sleep. ”

Ron watched her walk away and opened his mouth to sneer, "Oh, let's go." She's the one who dragged us down, Harry, right? ”

"That's right! What a nasty guy~ Let's go, go to bed...... I'm so sleepy! ”

Several people walked upstairs, leaving Brandi standing quietly alone in the lounge, desperate to find an inexplicable force preventing him from opening his mouth! Stop Brandi from speaking out what Dumbledore said to him today! He felt the blood clotting! He was so scared that he was cold!

The oath really took effect!
