It was quiet in the vegetable patch, and I don't know when it began, and even the low chirping of insects disappeared.

The two of them lay side by side, quietly listening to the sound of breathing around them. No one continued to speak, and Padma kept her attention on the movement on the other side of the hut, occasionally distracting herself from the gloomy sky; Brandy, on the other hand, was simply shocked by the astonishing aura that Padma had just exuded, and until now, his head was still a mess of mush.

These two sisters have such a good relationship...... Over and over again, Brandi's poor brain cells could only send him such a message. One said that his sister was not good here and there, but the only thing he remembered before last year's trapdoor adventure was to write a message to his sister...... The other is even more terrifying, according to her undying posture, she can probably kill all those who dare to bully Parvati from birth to the present......

Thinking of his usual interactions with Parvati in various senses, Brandi lowered his head weakly.

If Padma had known, he would have died 10,000 times......

It's weird enough, though.

He thought to himself, remembering that both Hermione and Professor McGonagall had more or less mentioned that Parvati and Padma's family seemed to have some problems, and the problems were not small—but judging from the fact that the relationship between the two sisters was more than Jinjian, it seemed that the situation was not as simple as a discordant relationship between the family...... What happened to their family?

He hesitated to roll Padma's eyes, considering whether to ask her.

But at that moment, Padma suddenly raised her hand and made a quiet gesture - at the same time, the door of the hut was opened, and Dumbledore and four mermaids rushed out, and Hagrid walked last. He walked down the stairs and suddenly stopped. Brandi saw him take a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.

"Listen, if someone is looking for something, they just need to follow the spider and find the right direction! That's all I have to say. ”

Fudge glared at him in amazement, "Are you alright, Rubeus Hagrid?" Perhaps before going to the Ministry of Magic for trial, I should have asked a few Aurors to accompany you on a trip to St. Mando? You look like you need to do a mental test - Albus, could he be controlled by the Imperius Curse? How crazy it is! ”

"Nothing, Connelly." Dumbledore's eyes flickered, he casually looked at Brandi, and winked lightly at his surprise. "I don't think I'll need to get out of here if it's okay, I'm not the headmaster anymore, and some people in the school probably won't welcome me......"

"No, no, no, how could it be, Albus." Mr. Malfoy said lazily, "You've contributed to Hogwarts after all—albeit insignificant. We will all miss you—and earnestly hope that your successor will stop the — ah—attack once and for all. ”

He pretentiously bent down and bowed to Dumbledore.

With a thud, Hagrid closed the door, and the four of them slowly disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

A few minutes later, the door was pushed open by an invisible hand. Harry and Ron ripped off their cloaks and ran in Brandi's direction. "Something is wrong! Dumbledore was expelled from the school board, and maybe he would have to close the school the next day, and once Dumbledore left, the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets would be even more rampant!! ”

Seeing what was happening on Brandi's side, Harry's words came to an abrupt end.

"Parvati! Great, you're okay~" He exclaimed excitedly. "Mandrakes ripen so quickly? What about Hermione? ”

Ron had to tug at his sleeve gently, motioning for him to take a closer look.

"Calm down, that's Padma, Harry."

Harry pushed his glasses closer and drew closer, only then did he see the cold expression on the girl's face, and his expression froze. "Uh...... I'm sorry. ”

Then, the two of them chattered about what they had heard in the hut to Brandi and Padma.

"Dumbledore, he definitely saw us, I'm sure he glanced at us! He also said that he would only leave the school if everyone here betrayed him. What does he mean by Hogwarts that those who ask for help are always there? Are you talking to me and Ron? ”

"I think so." Brandi frowned, "Maybe he wants us to find an answer and go to Professor McGonagall for help...... Instead of relying on your own weak level to fight alone. ”

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Padma, who didn't even have the time to move his eyelids.

"Did you hear Hagrid last of all...... He told us to follow the spider? Ron's face was a little unnatural, "Follow the eight-legged, fluffy spider!" ”

"But he said it was the right direction, Ron." Brandi looked at him sympathetically, both he and Harry knew that Ron had a natural fear of spiders. "He specifically reminded us, so naturally we have to go and investigate......"

He lit his wand and searched around the vegetable patch, and in a moment he saw his target, two lone spiders hurrying away from the light of the wand and crawling in a clear direction, he looked up, and then inhaled softly.

"There's the Forbidden Forest over there...... We're probably going to go into the Forbidden Forest. ”

"What!" Harry and Ron shouted in unison, their faces ugly. Yes, although the two of them have always been 'evil' with the team on weekdays, and there is no shortage of school discipline and school rules that should have been violated - but none of them have ever entered the Forbidden Forest, Harry did once fly around the periphery on a light wheel, but it was not a real down-to-earth adventure after all - in the word of mouth of the seniors, werewolves, vampires and even dragons and so on almost filled the Forbidden Forest with ...... This made the two young wizards, Harry and Ron, even more unconfident.

"Shall we go back and tell the professors? How about having Professor McGonagall track down these damn things......" Ron jumped away in disgust and let one of the fist-sized spiders pass him, "I'm really disgusted—yah! - I hate this kind of thing. ”

"I'm afraid not, we don't have much time, Ron." Brandi gritted his teeth and made a quick decision, "Neville has been in the Chamber of Secrets for almost 24 hours, and if he's still alive, every second is precious now—here I am, I went to the Forbidden Forest with Malfoy during my confinement last year, and I'm confident I'll come out unharmed—"

"I'm with you." Padma interrupted Brandy, her expression unmistakable. "I was third in my grade on Charms exams, and, my sister, you know ......"

No, I don't know...... Brandi looked at Padma who was speechless with a headache, and didn't dare to say this.

"Okay...... Then you come with me - Harry, you don't, you need to bring the Cloak of Invisibility back. Otherwise, Ron wouldn't have been able to return safely alone—his wand wouldn't have been able to venture into the Forbidden Forest. ”

said that the single action added a Padma, Brandy's heart was a little uneasy, if it was just him, Brandi would still have the confidence to get out, but it would be different with a Padma who didn't know the actual combat level. So he cruelly rejected Harry's application to join the team, trying to minimize the risk.

"Don't be so reluctant, you two have a mission too—" Brandy said, "You'd better hurry up, I don't know if Malfoy's father has anything to do with the Chamber of Secrets, but it's a bit puzzling that he suddenly chose to quit Dumbledore in such a time of crisis, he should be well aware of Dumbledore's importance to containing the current attack." But he did it anyway, it's not normal! Tell Professor McGonagall that it's best to get the news of Dumbledore's departure spread throughout the school before anyone else has gotten the word! We need a leader to maintain order - once the panic spreads, the Slytherin heirs will have more opportunities to unleash the monsters of the Vault! ”

Harry and Ron looked at him with a look of surprise in their eyes. "Brandi? I find that you seem to be a lot more reliable all of a sudden...... Where would you have thought about it so comprehensively in the past? ”

"Stop talking nonsense, go quickly!" This made Brandi blush, and he looked away in embarrassment, motioning for the two to leave quickly. "If you have time, go to the school hospital, and if Madam Pomfrey is attacked, I don't know if there's anyone guarding there - I'm afraid something will happen to Hermione."

"Got it, you're really verbose." Ron waved his hand impatiently and disappeared into the void with Harry.

Now, it has become a lonely man and a widow living in a vegetable field......

"Shall we go now?" Brandi couldn't resist the awkward atmosphere and was the first to speak. "You have to promise me first, if you run into any trouble that you can't handle, you must leave me and go first-don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

“…… Why should I worry about you. Padma's face turned to Brandi, choking Brandi half to death with a single word. My sister says you're amazing, and she always mentions you. She said coldly, and took the lead in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. I hope you can help in the future......"

"What?" Brandi followed curiously, her wand glowing with a fluorescent charm. "What were you talking about just that, what after?"

"Nothing, you'd better undo the spell, Brandy. Spiders have poor eyesight, but they are sensitive to light - in the dim Forbidden Forest, sudden bright lights can startle them, and if they are frightened and flee, we should get lost. Padma ignored Brandi's question, but changed the conversation and inexplicably turned the topic to the science section of spiders. By the way, normal spiders are deaf...... Of course, I'm not talking about magical creatures, whose perception relies primarily on tactile organs on eight legs. When we walked near them, their legs could feel the vibration. ”

“…… You know a lot, Padma. Brandi, who looked confused, couldn't help but admire, "It's many times stronger than Parvati's stupid girl, if others don't know, they will probably treat you as a sister, and Parvati as a sister." ”

Slowly, Padma, who was walking in front, slowly stopped.

"You're all mistaken," she said without looking back, in that timeless, flat voice. "Sister, she's much better than me...... It has always been that way. ”
