Chapter 64: Leaks
It was another Wednesday night, and Brandi and the others, as before, met with Padma in the corner of the Astronomy Tower. Brandy's side didn't have anything to gain at all, and they had to tell Padma about the area they had searched, hoping to get some advice. They were actually desperate - it was evident from Brandy's pale face.
Now that you think about it, it seems that not long after she first started school, Brandi had already started this miserable life day and night. It seems that it is only after Christmas that things get better. If this had been someone else, it would have been broken by the deranged biological clock. But who made Brandi inherently more energetic than a normal wizard......
Alas, it is indeed the life of an owl in this life...... In between their conversations, Brandi had to sigh silently.
They had thought that Padma should not have any good ideas, and even if they did, they should think carefully for a few days before coming up with an idea. Who would have thought that after they asked, Padma really provided them with an idea without thinking.
"Wouldn't it be nice to just let my sister out at this time?" Padma said this, and her tone sounded a little reasonable, like answering a common-sense question that one plus one equals many.
This kind of common sense Brandi and Hermione obviously couldn't accept it for a while......
"Huh?" The two of them shouted in unison, and then turned their heads in unison, and looked at Parvati, who was still triumphant, as if he had been praised. A strange expression appeared on his face. "Do you have any other sisters besides Parvati?"
As long as the sisterhood of Parvati and Padma is mentioned, the silly girl will be extremely sensitive, and she will immediately be unable to sit still.
"Hey! What are you talking about? Parvati's nose was about to be crooked, "What do you mean that there are other sisters!" Sister, she will only have one sister, and no one can rob me! She quickly pounced on her, hugged Padma firmly, and claimed her sister's ownership.
"It's not...... But just now your sister said-" Brandi looked at the silly girl suspiciously, and three big words were clearly written on her face, "I don't believe it." "Can you figure out the meaning of that message?"
Parvati held her head proudly, "If my sister says yes, then I will!" ”
"But you've been with me for two days at the castle, have you found anything?"
Not......
The flying ponytail of Parvati, who was menacing one second, drooped listlessly the next moment, and she looked at her sister dejectedly, it was obvious that with her little brain, it was already a super level to be able to follow Brandy safely around Hogwarts in the middle of the night without throwing herself away.
There was no way she could find any clues.
"I think she's probably given you a hint, inadvertently......" Padma patted her sister's head, her unchanged indifferent face that seemed to change only when she saw Parvati. In fact, Parvati has always had a lot of luck, we grew up like that, if I had a problem that I couldn't solve, I just had to ask my sister to come and take a look, and in a few minutes she would be able to help me - it could be a broken inkwell, a random scribble, anything. She must have inadvertently given her answer. ”
Padma rubbed Parvati's face and said in a serious tone. "I'm a firm believer in that."
………………
It was about ten o'clock when they came back from class, and they hurried around the round table, trying to complete their homework. Ron wasn't with them—it was his turn to help Hagrid feed his baby Noble today. He didn't want to go, because Noble had just burned a corner of Brandy's robe the other day, and he didn't want his new clothes to be ruined. But Hermione easily defeated his sense of distress with just a fluffy Potions paper...... He runs faster than a rabbit when he walks.
In fact, if he hadn't put on the invisibility cloak and set off again, Harry and Brandi would have rushed to pick up the glorious and 'daunting' task - neither of them wanted to waste their brains writing a paper on the medicinal properties of the boring Australian Black Pearl. Harry didn't understand it, and Brandi was selfish enough to think that borrowing something from his thighs would reduce his workload several times over, so that he could squeeze in more time to catch up on sleep.
By the time the clock passed twelve, there were only three people left in the break room, Brandi Harry and Hermione—Parvati had stayed up late with Brandi yesterday, and she had gone back to rest early, and she hadn't even bothered about the next day's homework.
Just as Brandi breathed a sigh of relief and threw down the quill and rubbed his sore arm, the doorway of the portrait suddenly opened by itself, and footsteps came up to them, and then a wild Ron appeared from the sky.
"Look at this, huh?" He trembled and showed them his hands, which were covered with blood-stained handkerchiefs. "I've never seen a grumpy bear child so grumpy, I just held the dead mouse and dangled it in its mouth for a while so that it couldn't eat it - I wanted to see if I could make it fly. It jumped a few times and found that it couldn't reach ...... It's thinking about me! When I handed it the dead rat, it bit me! ”
He was so angry that he was trembling all over, "I'll never feed it anymore, it's really not cute at all." And it bites me, Hagrid or I scare it, look at the way Hagrid treats it, you will think that you are taking care of a little rabbit! ”
Brandi's expression was complicated, "To be honest, I think its bite makes sense...... Tease a dragon with dead rats? ”
"But it's just a kid, huh?" Ron's eyes widened, "I was often teased like this by George and Fred when I was a kid!" Wasn't that the same way you were when you were kids? Running around behind them with toffee hanging from your brother and sister, being lifted high every now and then, scaring you with something you're afraid of? ”
………… So, Ron, what did you go through in your childhood?
Brandi and Hermione looked each other with a look of pity, as if to be glad that they were only children. The latter can even speak to Ron in a rare and soft tone, as if he is comforting a crying child. "Okay...... Don't get excited, Ron, at least you can write a week less homework, you're looking forward to this, aren't you, and don't worry about the wound healing too quickly - I swear a dragon bite is definitely not so simple to bleed. ”
There was a lap in the dark window, followed by a low chirp.
"It's Hedwig!" Harry hurried over and opened the window. Hedwig fluttered down on the armchair. "Charlie has finally replied! Let me see. ”
He glanced at the letter, and slowly uttered it in his mouth—"............ Can you take Noble to the tallest tower, well, the Astronomy Tower at midnight on a Saturday - and someone will meet you there to take the dragon away while it's dark. ”
"Hah! Just hold on for two more days and you'll be free! He happily passed the note, and Brandi looked at the three of them together, and then the three of them looked at each other.
"We're going to put Noble ...... Bring it to the castle? Brandi swallowed. Who do you think it's for? Lady Loris, dizzy from hunger! ”
“… But this is a rare opportunity... And we have an invisibility cloak! Lady Loris can't see us. Harry said, "I don't think it's too hard - the invisibility cloak is the size of the cloak and at least it should be able to cover Nobel, me and- uh, Brandi, you're too tall." Me and Hermione, or Parvati. ”
"Then let Parvati go, I have something to do that day." Hermione nodded quickly at Brandy, "Parvati shouldn't be so stupid that she can't even move a wooden crate." You came around twelve, didn't you? At least that's a little bit earlier...... She wasn't too sleepy to delirium. ”
"Anything, really, as long as you can get rid of it...... Harry agreed immediately. And Malfoy. ”
However, things don't seem to be as simple as they think.
The next morning, Ron's hands were swollen and he didn't want to go to Pomfrey at first, even though Hermione tried to persuade her—because God knows if the seasoned old woman would find out that Ron had been bitten by a dragon.
But by the afternoon he could only do that, and it was clear that Hermione was right. Dragon's teeth are more or less poisonous.
At the end of the day, they rushed to see Ron at the school hospital, and they made their way to the end of the ward, where he was in a cubicle in the far corner. The hands that were tightly wrapped in gauze had an abnormal green fluorescence.
"I told Madam Pomfrey that she was bitten by a wild dog, but I always felt that she didn't believe it. Because probably no dog can bite a man......" Ron's expression was dismayed, "Do you think Madam Pomfrey would have seen people bitten by dragons?" Hogwarts shouldn't have dragons, right? ”
"Of course there won't be dragons~" Parvati said in a relaxed tone, and she brought a large bag of candy to put on Ron's bedside table. At the moment, he is clumsily tearing the packaging of a chocolate frog. "Take it easy~ You're scaring yourself. Come on, eat a toad and relax~"
She shoved the chocolate frog into Ron's intact hand and watched as he bit off its head in one bite. "And on Saturday night, as long as Noble is sent out, there will be no proof of death~ Oh! It's Kongbo! Ultra-rare cards, there don't seem to be many Oriental wizards selected into the chocolate frog card. ”
She picked up the wizard card in her hand and immediately became happy. Ron looked at her with jealousy from the side, and it was clear that he didn't have that card either.
They were chatting happily when they heard the grumbling of Madam Pomfrey next door, and when they heard the names of the people in it, they were all stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Malfoy, do you really have to stay in a hospital room for half a day with a broken cold? Maybe I need to tell your dean that I suspect you don't want to go to class......"
Malfoy? How is he next to Ron's compartment!
After a loud noise, they saw a figure sitting up from the hospital bed next door through the light cast by the screen. Malfoy's mocking sneer sent them plunged into the abyss for a moment.
Damn, he must have heard!
