Chapter 38: The Truth

Whether Voldemort has made a comeback or not, Brandy is just a guess in his mind. But there is no doubt that there is a problem in his bedroom.

The loss of Harry's invisibility cloak made him extremely alarmed, and when the three of them arrived at the fat lady, Brandi asked her if anything strange had happened last night.

"Strange, you say? Of course there is, isn't it strange that you guys always run out in the middle of the night? ”

It seems that the fat lady has a big opinion of Brandy, the troublemaker who often disturbs her sleep.

However, after they seriously apologized to the fat lady, she still opened her mouth to say some useful information. "Before you return...... Emmmm, yes, there's a strange thing for me to open the door for him. I couldn't see him, but the password was correct. And after that, he slipped out again. ”

Did you go on another trip...... No wonder the door locks in the dormitory were opened.

They thanked the fat woman and sat down in the corner of the lounge. The three pairs of eyebrows were twisted together, pondering what this man wanted to do.

"That's right!" Hermione suddenly slapped the table hard, startling the classmates in the room. She leaned forward and lowered her voice, "You think, if he goes out the door again after you have fallen asleep and returns safely." Doesn't that mean Harry's invisibility cloak is still in the Gryffindor tower? ”

Hey? Brandi's heart moved.

That's right! The fat woman said that she had never seen the man, so he had returned to the tower in his cloak of invisibility. That thing must still be in his hands!

In fact, if you were to be a little more daring...... If the Cloak of Invisibility was really taken away by someone in his dorm, then maybe it was still in Brandy's dorm now!

Thinking of this, he straightened up decisively.

"You two help me keep an eye in the lounge, and if you see anyone sneaking outside, you must let me know. I'm going to go up to the boys' dormitory now and take a look, there shouldn't be much room to hide things in the tower......"

Seeing Parvati and Hermione nodding seriously, he jumped to his feet and ran upstairs, nearly knocking Neville out as he was about to go downstairs.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" He quickly helped Neville to his feet and apologized.

"It's okay...... I was going down for lunch. Neville shook his head, he didn't look very good. Do you want to come along? Blondie. ”

"No, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry." Brandi waved his hand, "By the way, is there anyone else in the dorm?" ”

"Huh? There shouldn't be anyone, why are you asking this? Hey......" Neville tried to stop him, but Brandy had disappeared at the end of the stairs.

He pushed open the door to his dorm room.

Inside, it was basically the same as they had seen last night, with books and clothes in disarray, thrown on the table, on the bed, and even on the ground. Harry's large chest was open in the corner, and several pairs of floppy socks were popping out of it, and it was in this box that the Cloak of Invisibility was taken.

So, where can it be hidden now......

Because considering that rummaging through other people's luggage is a very unqualified thing, Brandi just searched in an inconspicuous place in the room - in fact, there is no special need, because Brandi's sleep quality has always been bad, if that person comes back and still wants to put the invisibility cloak in his own box to hide, Brandi will probably be woken up by the sound of him opening the box, but in fact he slept fairly well in the second half of the night.

So he rummaged through the dark corners of the dormitory, inspecting the curtains, the drapery, the tables, and the small fireplace embedded in the walls. He didn't find the Cloak of Invisibility...... Instead, he accidentally found Riddle's diary under his desk, and he didn't know when he was touched.

It's weird, I remember I should have put it at the bedside after talking to Riddle every day......

He muttered as he bent down, intending to pick it up. But at this moment, something in his vision suddenly flashed quickly, and his body immediately froze in front of him.

What was that just now?

Picking up the journal and placing it on the table, he warily pulled out his wand, his eyes fixed on the direction he had just been—it was supposed to be under Neville's bed.

Looks like a living thing? Is it Levle?

After a while, the initiator got out from under the bed. Spotted ass was at Brandi, dragging something outside.

"It's you, fat mouse...... Ron should have bought a new cage to lock you up, he's been looking for you for a day or two. Brandi breathed a sigh of relief, grinning as he reached out and dragged Spotted out from under the bed—Neville's cowhide boots, which were still biting in his mouth.

"Hey! You're crazy hungry for nothing, and you even nibble ......on your shoes," he laboriously ripped Spotted off the upper, gagged it with a cookie, and threw it onto Ron's bed. Then he lowered his head and tucked Neville's boots back under the bed.

"What's going on these days, I'm evil?" Harry and Ron settled on their confinement and made their way to the dormitory listlessly. They greeted Hermione Parvati and walked up the stairs, "Is there such a curse in the wizarding world that makes people unlucky...... I think I might have hit that one. And the lost invisibility cloak - you say, if I put up a notice in the break room, will the man come back? Or is it ...... I'm going to ask Professor Dumbledore for help? ”

They opened the door to the dormitory and saw Brandi sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, looking like a contemplative person.

"Brandi? What are you doing sitting there? Harry asked curiously.

"Well, Harry, I don't think you need to go to Dumbledore." Brandi reached out and lifted a silver-gray cloak from his side.

"Thank goodness! It scares the hell out of me......"

Harry's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly pounced on it, excitedly holding the lost cloak of invisibility in his arms. "Yours, Brandy, where did you find it?"

Brandi's eyes were a little strange, it was obviously a happy event, but he didn't seem very happy.

"How so...... Actually, your invisibility cloak isn't lost, Harry. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's always been here, under Neville's bed."

………………

That's the end of the cloak, Neville was probably curious about what Brandy was going out in the middle of the night and what he wanted to do, and he happened to learn about the existence of the cloak from Ron, so he put it on and followed them. I heard that the wake-up potion was a good thing, so I quietly drank it while everyone was not paying attention...... Of course, the motivation is clear, perhaps because of the stimulation he had received from the last Lockhart class.

This was confirmed by the information that Hermione and Parvati had found in the common room: Lavender said that she had been seeing Neville practicing magic in empty classrooms lately...... And whenever he has time between classes, he must read spell books in the library.

Although there are still many questions that cannot be clarified, Harry, the sole victim, has made it very clear that he does not intend to pursue the matter after learning of Neville's private efforts. He even advised everyone to pretend that nothing had happened and not to burden Neville psychologically.

"If he can change from his original state of inferiority, why not?" These were Harry's exact words at the time. Since the parties concerned had no opinions, Brandi, who had a good relationship with Neville, naturally agreed. So the three boys rushed downstairs to discuss a lunch with Neville - but poor Neville was momentarily frightened by Brandi's strange enthusiasm and thought they were going to experiment with some new tricky pose on themselves...... Before they could finish eating, they fled in a hurry.

Weekend afternoons usually go by quickly, with just five of them playing Quint cards (Brandi now knows how to play it, but his luck doesn't seem to be very good), and after a few small talks about the parchment that Brandy brought back from Manson Manor, the sun goes down before the sun goes down. Since it was too conspicuous to unfold in the castle during the day, and Hermione insisted that Ravenclaw's Padma had a right to know about it, too—they eventually decided to find a weekend where everyone had nothing to do to sneak into Room Thirteen to study together—the staff lounge on weekends was usually empty, and they could have gone there in two groups and let Brandi or Hermione open the classroom door.

After that, after a casual dinner and a little more ink, Harry and Ron had to retire from the Gryffindor Wizarding Grand Prix. Their confinement will begin at 8 o'clock...... Listening to them, Ron was going to clean up the prize room, and Harry was going to help Professor Lockhart reply to the fans.

From Brandi's point of view, it's hard to tell which one is worse...... Especially when Ron suddenly burped and spit out a little slug or two. Of course, it would be completely different with Hermione.

"What! Your punishment is going to reply to the professor? Her eyes widened, and she looked eager to go back to school day and ride the roller coaster with Harry. Oh, my God...... It's unbelievable, just your dog-crawling words, this is not punishing you, it's punishing the professor's fans! ”

Brandi and Parvati were laughing in their chairs, and an angry Harry was not happy to say goodbye to them.

"That's weird to say......" Brandi asked curiously as the two of them left. You admire Lockhart so much, why did you help us lie when you were in Quidditch? ”

Hermione blushed and refused to speak for a long time. It was Parvati who opened her mouth.

"Of course, it's because I can't bear to cute Lord Parvati who was captured by Lockhart for lying~ Oops, Hermione! I like you the most! She jumped on Hermione, gave her a 'pop' on the cheek, and kissed her hard. Hermione screamed, and her hand dishonestly reached under Parvati's armpit, and the two of them fought together, and ran back to the dormitory one after the other, leaving only a string of silver bells of laughter.

"Get some rest, Brandy."

Brandi scratched the back of her head and ascended the stairs.
