Back in the dorm room, Brandi's head was full of noise. Focusing on what is happening in a row these days really makes him a little unable to turn around...... Apparently to purify the school's Muggle chamber, the first time it was opened, it first petrified a cat...... Dobby knew about the secret room, but he didn't say anything...... Coupled with Neville's recent sudden mysterious state - he actually wants to let himself accompany him to see Dean in the middle of the night?

They are a dormitory person, why are they so sneaky, and they put the meeting place in the prize showroom.

Brandi couldn't figure out any of these things.

"Huh? Why did you come back so late, let's go together. ”

He was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Ron was sitting on his bed, looking at him worriedly, still holding his struggling fat mouse in his hand.

"You don't look good?"

Brandi's eyes wandered unconsciously as he swept over Dean and Neville's empty beds. "Did you see Neville when you came back?"

"Neville?" He looked at Brandi quizzically, "Didn't he go to Quidditch?" The last time I saw him was talking to you over breakfast. Also, what do you ask him for? ”

"You know, he came to me today." After thinking about it for a moment, Brandi sighed, "Let me go out with him in the middle of the night to see Dean Thomas." It's not strange for you to say this, the two of them usually have such a good relationship...... How could they suddenly be wary of each other like this, and even bring bodyguards when they meet? ”

Ron was stunned for a moment, and he put Spotted down. "Going in the middle of the night? Neville isn't that brave kind of person, is he? Besides, what else could he not say in the dorm? It's a big deal for us to leave the dorm and create a private space for the two of them. ”

"That's what I'm talking about......"

The two men were silent for a moment.

"Do you need me to come with you? I could put Harry's invisibility cloak on, they wouldn't be able to see me. Ron patted Brandi on the shoulder, reassuring him. I always thought it was weird, and Neville couldn't usually sneak out in the middle of the night...... The things that can put him in danger and call you up are either dangerous or important. ”

Brandi gave Ron a deep look, and a smile finally appeared on his solemn face.

"Come on, Ron, I'm even more upset about you standing next to me in your invisibility cloak - if your hands shake, I'll have to vomit slugs all night."

Because of the triumphant Quidditch relationship today, there was a big celebration in the Gryffindor common room, and they were in high spirits until eleven o'clock, when Professor McGonagall, who arrived in her pajamas, urged them to go to bed.

Brandi said goodbye to Hermione Parvati and returned to her dorm. Not surprisingly, Dean and Neville still didn't return. Seamus had drawn the curtain early, and he was so tired from yelling on the pitch today.

"Aren't they going to wander the castle until midnight?" Ron changed into his pajamas and yawned.

"Maybe...... You go to sleep first, God knows how late it will be before you can come back. ”

"Hmm, okay." Ron casually replied and turned over. After a while, there was a burst of snoring.

Now, it's just Brandi. In the darkness, he sat alone at the head of the bed, passing the time in a cranky way...... Time passed little by little, and he slowly lowered his head.

The moon jumped in lightly from the window, and the night sky was clear after the rain.

Half-asleep and half-awake, something seemed to flash in front of his eyes.

Scare!

He bounced off the head of the bed and slammed his head on the roof of the bed with a dull thud.

Sleepiness or something disappeared from him immediately.

Oops, I guess I missed it......

Brandi hurriedly went downstairs to the common room, it was so dangerous, there were still a few minutes until twelve o'clock, and if he ran a little faster, he should still be in time.

He pushed away the portrait of the fat woman and walked out amid her grumbling.

The castle is eerie and dark at night, and even more so at Hogwarts Castle, because in addition to the armor that walks around and patrols on its own, there are always some strange noises coming from anywhere you can notice. Even if he often sneaked out last year, Brandi, who was experienced in night battles, had to be careful at all times.

No, when he reached the stairs on the fourth floor, he faintly heard a strange movement.

Rustle ~ rustle ~

It was as if something was rubbing and gliding on the ground, and I couldn't tell where it came from.

Maybe Peeves came up with some new trick.

So he pricked up his ears and waited for a moment to make sure the sound faded before continuing towards the prize showroom. But he had only walked a few steps when a terrible scream suddenly came from the corridor not far away.

"Ahhhhh!!hh

It's Neville! Brandi was shocked, he quickly drew his wand, blessed his body with an iron armor charm, and quickly rushed over.

"Neville! Answer me, where are you?! ”

He was running in the dark, he turned a corner, and the prize room was in front of him—the door was hidden.

“…… Neville? ”

There was dead silence in the room, and Neville's screams of terror a few seconds ago suddenly stopped.

Brandy's hand trembling slightly as he grasped his wand slowly leaned over to the door.

It was dark in the crack of the door, and nothing could be seen.

If it had been Brandi a year ago, he might have stupidly rushed straight in...... But now he is no longer the same. He raised his wand, a ring of white light on it, and then he kicked the door open with a hard kick, and poked his wand in.

"Ultra Magic—Fluorescent Flash!"

There was a sudden flash of blinding light in the room, and at this time, he squinted, half-crouched, slipped in, and leaned against the side of the unknown cabinet.

He thought he was going to be attacked...... Strangely, there was no reaction in the room.

After a while, his vision returned, he lit his wand, and saw the scene in the room.

He couldn't help but gasp and sit on the ground.

Neville was not far from him, wand in hand, and the look of horror on his face. However, there appeared to be no external injuries - in fact, it was likely that he was just stunned by what was in front of him.

Yes...... On the other side of the room, next to the closet full of trophies and medals, there was another stiff figure. His body was like an iron plate, leaning straight against the thick glass of the window at an unreasonable angle. Then the glimmer on the wand, Brandi could see the man's face reflected in the window—

It's Dean Thomas. His eyes widened, and his hands were wrung together in horror.

He was attacked!

……………………

"Dobby must go!"

Harry's fist suddenly loosened, clutching only a cloud of air. He fell back into bed, his eyes looking at the dark door of the hospital room, and the footsteps were getting closer.

Dumbledore then stepped back into the room, carrying the end of a sculpture-like object in both hands. A second later, Professor McGonagall came out, carrying the thing's feet, and together they placed it on the bed in the corner of the room.

"Call Madam Pomfrey," Dumbledore whispered, and Harry quickly pretended to be asleep, listening to Professor McGonagall hurrying over, and there was an urgent voice outside the door, strangely, it was Brandy's voice.

He quietly opened his eyes a slit, and then widened suddenly.

It was Brandi who came in through the door!

I saw that he carried a student whose face could not be seen clearly, slowly moved in through the door, and then placed him on the other side of the thing just now.

"Professor......" He seemed excited to say something, but Dumbledore pointed at Harry and shook his head.

"What's going on?" Madam Pomfrey followed Professor McGonagall and quietly walked in from outside. She asked Dumbledore in a whisper, leaning over to examine the statue.

"Another attack," Dumbledore said, "Brandi found them in the prize room. ”

Harry's stomach twitched violently, and slowly, carefully, he lifted his body a few inches to see the two victims. He almost didn't scream!

Neville! And Dean?!

"It shouldn't be, at this time, how could they suddenly run to that place." Professor McGonagall said, "Brandy, what are you doing in the past?" ”

"Neville was unusual today, and he asked me to come to the prize room with him on this time - he said Dean seemed to have something to do with him. I don't know why, but when I got around, I heard Neville screaming. When I ran over to see it, it was already like this......"

There was an eerie silence in the room.

"Obviously, Thomas was killed before Longbottom got there." Professor Dumbledore said. "He's really fateful, if he had gone a little earlier, there would have been two people who would have been stoned by now. Brandi, did you hear anything along the way? ”

"Voice?" Brandi thought for a moment, "I heard something dragging downstairs, rustling. ”

Dumbledore's face took on a solemn look.

"What do you think of, Albus?" Professor McGonagall pressed urgently.

"It's serious, Minerva." Dumbledore said, "It looks like the Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again. ”

There was a slight exclamation from the room.

"But Albus, you must know...... Who? ”

"It's not a question of who," Dumbledore's gaze rested on Brandi's, "the question is, how......"

Harry saw the look on Brandi's face and knew that he was just like himself, and he didn't understand Dumbledore's words at all.
