25. Slap Lupin in the face
Harry was missing, and when it was almost midnight, Ron couldn't sit still any longer, and he told the rest of the Gryffindor House that Harry hadn't come back until now and was probably in danger, and Ron suggested that everyone should go outside and find Harry.
"So you're going to have the entire Gryffindor sneak out of bed en masse while the lights are out." In the common room, Hermione looked at Ron angrily, just now Ron woke up most of the people in the Gryffindor dormitory, telling them that Harry didn't come back, except for Patsy, after all, the other party is now the president of the male student council, and Ron also hates his third brother a little too much.
I'll definitely tell Professor McGonagall.
"So what do you want me to do? Harry hadn't come back to say that he might have been in danger outside, and don't forget that Blake was still hiding in the shadows, and he wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, and Harry had gone outside and there was no one around, and it would be a good thing if there were a few Dementors around. Ron looked at Hermione in defense.
"Besides, we don't do less things like sneaking out in the middle of the night!" Ron couldn't help but add.
However, this time Hermione and Ron received cold eyes from the rest of Gryffindor, after all, there were several serious deductions, all because they slipped out in the middle of the night and were caught by Professor McGonagall, according to this view, there were several times when they slipped out and were not caught, these people are really bold.
Hermione was a little ashamed to be looked at like this, and she couldn't help but say, "At that time, there was Harry's invisibility cloak, but if we go out like this, we will be discovered by the professors before we get out of the castle, and we will wait to deduct points when the time comes." ”
Hermione finally said seriously, "So the best way is to tell the professors now that Harry is not back, missing, he must be very dangerous outside at this time, believe me that only the professors can find Harry in time, we will not be useful." ”
When Ron heard that Hermione was going to tell the professor, he immediately became short of breath, to be honest, he had an argument with Sherlock during the day, and whether he came back at this time in the evening, when he told the professor, Harry might have to suffer the most severe punishment.
On the other hand, Harry, after learning the truth, wants to return to Ron's side immediately to find the hidden Animagus Rat Spot, the one Peter Pettigrew has become.
Blake told Harry that he would be waiting for him at the Screaming Shack, and vowed to wait until Harry returned, but Harry must tell Dumbledore all the facts when he returned to the castle, and it was safest for Dumbledore to come forward, so that Peter Pettigrew could be cleaned up and Blake's grievances washed.
Harry returned to the castle in the cloak of invisibility, but instead of going directly to the tower where Dumbledore's office was located, he went straight back to the castle, he wanted to go back to the common room of Gryffindor, first to the dormitory, and find Ron's mouse.
As for whether he can deal with Peter Harry Pettigrew, he didn't care much at the moment, he agreed to Blake's request and asked Dumbledore for help, but Harry lied to Blake.
Harry had already believed Blake's statement when Blake told Harry all the facts, otherwise Blake could have easily killed him and walked away, so why waste his tongue again.
"Bump!"
"Damn! Who is it? It's you ......."
Harry, who had been thinking about things just now, bumped into a man at the corner of the castle corridor, and Snape clutched his stomach and grabbed Harry's invisibility cloak at the same time.
When Snape saw Harry stunned, he was furious.
"It's almost midnight, you shouldn't be here at this time, Gryffindor will be deducted fifty points, and there will be other penalties, you should be locked up, and I will have to get Professor McGonagall unless she comes forward to take you away!"
Snape grabbed Harry by the collar to prevent him from leaving, and Harry was stunned for a moment, then began to struggle violently.
"I'm in a hurry, you hurry up and let me go!"
Snape whispered gravely, "You're a fool Harry, just as stupid as your father, always like to cause trouble, don't think I don't know what happened during the day, you ran into Sherlock, you're stupid, even more powerful than James." ”
Snape paused, then said, "Because you made a mistake, you broke the school rules, Harry, and I have to do it, I have to punish you, but you don't recognize the mistake and you stand up to me, and Gryffindor will be deducted another twenty points." ”
Harry only began to regret it at this time, now that he met Snape and was caught by the other party, he would definitely not be dealt with casually, if he had just run directly to Dumbledore's tower, he would never have been caught by Snape.
"I'm going to find Dumbledore!" Harry said.
"Dumbledore? Of course...... Of course I'm going to find Dumbledore, but it's not you but me, and I feel that Dumbledore has to fire you this time from your performance. ”
Snape said with some amusement.
"I'm sorry I just heard who Professor Snape is firing?" Lupin's voice rang out, and he saw Harry being caught by Snape.
"Professor Lupin......" Seeing that it was Lupin, Snape's expression suddenly turned disgusted.
But Lupin didn't care what Snape thought of him, he looked at Harry, and he saw Harry's eyes asking for help.
"I asked Harry to come over, I need him to do me a favor, maybe it's late, I just let him out of my office, and I was caught by Professor Snape, I don't think Harry explained it clearly, now let him go back to the dormitory, or I can take him over and get caught by another professor."
Professor Lupin...... You're such a good person, helping students lie. ”
Snape spoke long, if he believed Lupin, he would be an idiot.
"You can let Harry himself say that he just left my office because he came to my office to help me out and dispose of some old things." Lupin looked at Harry and asked him to repeat what he had said.
In this way, this matter can be solved more easily today.
Harry gritted his teeth, Snape had let him go, but instead of explaining as Lupin had said, Harry shouted "No...... That's not true...... I didn't go to Professor Lupin's office today...... It's because of something else......"
Lupin covered his head with a headache, Harry really didn't give him face, his face hurt.
