"What, boss, are you really going?"

"yes, what if you hang up?"

"Shut up" Faced with the chatter of his two waste brothers, Malfoy left in a huff.

Ending the day with a duel wasn't a perfect one, Harry thought as he lay in bed, he'd heard Dean and Seamus fall asleep (Neville hadn't returned from the hospital yet). Ron spent the night giving him advice, such as, "If he wants to recite a spell to you, you'd better get out of the way because I don't remember how to block it." "They're likely to be caught by Filch or Lady Loris, and Harry feels like he's going to be against fate and breaking another school rule today. On the other hand, Malfoy's sarcastic face continued to reveal itself in the darkness - it was a great opportunity for Harry to defeat Malfoy face-to-face, and he couldn't pass it up.

"It's half-past eleven," finally Ron whispered, "we have to go." ”

They donned their robes, picked up their wands, and tiptoed through the rooms above the castle, down the spiral staircase, and into the Gryffindor common room. There was still a glimmer of embers in the fireplace, and the armchairs seemed to turn into black shadows. They were just about to reach the portrait tunnel when they heard someone in the nearest chair say, "I can't believe you're doing this, Harry." ”

A light flickered, and it was Hermione Granger. She wore a pink nightgown and frowned.

"You!" Ron said angrily, "Go back to sleep!"

"I almost told you brother," Hermione replied unceremoniously, "Percy - he's a prefect, he's going to stop this." "Harry couldn't believe there was such a nosy man." Let's go. He said to Ron. He pushed away the portrait of the fat lady and climbed into the hole. Hermione wasn't going to give in so easily. She followed Ron into the hole, shouting at them like an angry she-goose in a low voice. "Don't you care about Gryffindor, only yourself? I don't want Slytherin to win another House Cup, and I don't want you to lose all the points I got from Professor McGonagall with the Diversion Spell. ”

"Go away."

"Okay, but I warn you, when you take the train home tomorrow, don't forget what I said, you're so-"

However, when he came to the door, he was waiting for the three of them in surprise, and Zuo Zhe and Yao Shunyu leaked their faces from the chairs at the door at this time

"Hey, take us along"

Hermione went crazy and pointed at Zuo Zhe and Yao Shunyu: "You guys are ......"

Eventually, Hermione went crazy and didn't say the next word, Hermione turned to the portrait of the fat lady and tried to re-enter it, only to find that the painting she was facing was empty. The Fat Lady had gone out late at night, and Hermione had been locked up outside Gryffindor Castle.

"Oh, what do I do now?" She asked, squealing.

"That's your problem." Ron said, "We've got to go, we're going to be late." ”

Before they could reach the end of the hallway, Hermione caught up.

"I'll go with you." She said.

"You are not allowed to go."

"Do you think I'm going to stand outside here, waiting for Filch to come and catch me? If he finds out about the five of us, I will tell him the truth, and I will say that I am trying to dissuade you, and that you may testify against me when the time comes. ”

"You're not bold—" Ron exclaimed. "Shut up, you two!" Harry said sternly, "I heard a voice. "It's a whirring sound." Is it Lady Loris?" Ron asked, holding his breath, narrowing his eyes into the darkness. Not Mrs. Loris, it's Neville. He was curled up on the floor, sleeping soundly, but as soon as they approached, he was awoken. "Thank goodness you found me! I was out here for hours. I can't remember the new password, I can't go to bed. "Be quiet, Neville. The password is 'pig nose', but it doesn't work for you now. The fat lady went somewhere. ”

"How's your arm?" Harry asked.

"It's alright," Neville said, holding up his arm to show them. "Madam Pomfrey cured it in the blink of an eye."

"Yes—all right, Neville, listen, we're going somewhere, we'll see you later—"

"Don't leave me!" Neville said, rising from the ground, "I don't want to be left here alone, the ghost of Barrow the Bloody has passed through here twice. ”

Ron looked at his watch, glaring angrily at Hermione and Neville.

"If any of you two cause us to be caught, I'll make sure I learn the kind of monster spell Quirrell mentioned and use it on you."

Hermione opened her mouth, presumably trying to tell Ron exactly how to use the Monster Charm, but Harry "shh

They walked briskly down the corridor, moonlight pouring in through the high windows and slatting across the ground one by one.

At every turn, Harry thought he was going to crash into Filch or Lady Loris, but luckily, they were lucky. They hurried up the stairs to the third floor and tiptoed towards the prize showroom. Malfoy and Crabbe weren't there. The crystal glass case where the prizes are displayed sparkles in the moonlight. In the dark, trophies, shields, medals, and statues shimmer with silver and gold light. The four men moved forward against the wall, their eyes glued to the doors at either end of the room, and Harry pulled out his wand in case Malfoy burst in and duel him. Minutes and seconds passed.

"He's late, maybe he's scared." Ron whispered.

At this moment, a voice came from the next room, which frightened them into jumping.

"What are you talking about at the Weasleys, how could I miss the appointment with Malfoy"

Malfoy's figure stepped out of the next room, along with his two roots, Crabbe and Goyle.

"If it weren't for my education, would you have come?"

A group of people looked back

The figure of the North appeared behind them

"What to see, I haven't seen the world, since we're all here, let's get ready to start."

Faced with Yao Shunyu's eagerness to eat his eyes, Beifang didn't care, walked in front of the two groups of people, and took them to an empty room, where they saw Peeves

Ron, Harry, and Malfoy said to themselves, "Oh no, why is Peeves here?"

syllable

The North snapped his fingers, and Peeves floated in front of the North and knelt down on one knee: "The Empress of the North is well"

North nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed outside, "You go and make trouble for Filch who patrols the night, don't let him come over for a short time"

"Yes"

Peeves floats out of the room as Ron stuffs eggs in his surprised scientific mouth

It wasn't long before Filch roared down the hallway, "Peeves, stop"

"Stupid Filch, you're coming~come and catch me~!"

"Don't look out, let's start the duel"
