Chapter 58: Opening the Trapdoor
"Probably not," Hermione said firmly, "Flitwick secretly told me that I had scored a hundred and twelve on his class. With such a high score, they were reluctant to drive me away. ”
Yao Shunyu "Life and death, what is the expulsion"
As a result, the size of the team increased
Harry's Iron Triangle was nervous, and after dinner, the three of them nervously avoided others and sat in the common room.
Harry doesn't like him so much now because of the trouble, and Ron is also a little implicated, plus Yao Shunyu and Saori help cover up, Harry and Ron are not bothered.
And Hermione was busy flipping through all her notes, hoping to happen to see a spell they were going to break later.
One by one, the students went to bed, and the number of people in the common room gradually decreased.
Lee Jordan, who played to the end in the common room, finally stretched his waist and yawned and left.
Harry ran upstairs and stormed into their pitch-black quarters to remove the Cloak of Invisibility, just then he stumbled upon the flute that Hagrid had given him for Christmas. He pocketed the flute and prepared to use it against Louwe—he didn't feel like he was in the mood to sing to the big dog.
He hurried back to the common room. "We'd better put on the cloak of invisibility here and see if it can cover us all - if Filch sees a pair of feet walking on the ground on his own—"
"What are you doing?" A man's voice rang out in one corner of the room. Neville flashed out from behind an armchair, clutching his toad, Levy, in his hand. It seems that Levif has been fighting for freedom again.
"Nothing, Neville, nothing." Harry said, quickly hiding the Cloak of Invisibility behind his back.
Neville stared at them, "You're going out again. He said.
"No, no," said Hermione, "we don't want to go out." Neville, why don't you go to sleep?" Harry looked at the old clock by the door. They couldn't afford to delay any longer, Snape was probably already playing music and lulling Lowe to sleep.
"You can't get out," Neville said, "you're going to get caught." In that case, Gryffindor would be even more unlucky. ”
"You don't understand," said Harry, "it's a very important matter. ”
But this time Neville seemed to be determined to stop them.
"I won't let you do that." He said, rushing over to the front of the portrait hole, "I'm going to- I'm going to have a fight with you!" Neville," Ron furious, "get out of the hole, don't be an idiot—"
"Don't call me an idiot!" Neville said, "I don't think you should break the school rules anymore!" And you were the ones who encouraged me to stand up against others!" Yes, but not against us. Ron said angrily, "Neville, you have no idea what you're doing. ”
Yao Shunyu took out his wand and "fainted" Neville fell asleep directly and put away his wand, "Okay, Neville is asleep, let's go"
"Is that good?" Ron swallowed
Hermione unceremoniously "That's it, I can only apologize to him later"
In a state of high emotional tension, the five of them walked cautiously through the corridors, each sculpture in the shadows resembling Filch's figure, and every hint of wind in the distance sounded like Peeves swooping down on them.
They didn't run into a single person all the way, and made it to the staircase that led to the fourth floor. Peeves was bouncing upstairs, loosening the carpet on the stairs in an attempt to cause others to fall.
"Who's over there?" He rose into the air and stopped, squinting at them.
"There's something unseen sneaking around here, and I should report to Filch." Harry had an idea.
"Peeves, I'm going to play in the North" Peeves was taken aback and almost fell out of the air.
"I'm looking for Her Majesty the Empress of the North, then you can go, Your Majesty of the North has ordered, I will let you go when I see you tonight, and stop Filch by the way"
Peeves ran out like a loyal dog to make trouble for Filch.
Ron looked at Harry speechlessly, "Why do you think about the North, but looking at Peeves like this, the North is really powerful"
At Hermione's urging, the group moved on, ignoring the question of why the North had ordered them to take care of their operation tonight.
Seconds later, they were outside the four-huddled hallway—the door had already cracked.
"How. See," Harry whispered, "Snape has passed through Lowe without a hitch. "Seeing that ajar door, they seem more aware of what they are about to face.
Harry said to Ron and Hermione, Yao Shunyu and the others under the invisibility cloak, "If you want to back down now, I won't blame you. He said, "You can take the Cloak of Invisibility with you, I don't need it anymore." ”
"Don't say stupid things." Ron said. "Let's go together."
"Wait a minute, brothers and sisters will be here soon"
Yao Shunyu's voice landed, and behind Harry,
Guo Shuai, Lu Renjia, Liu Jialu, and Billy Helrington appeared.
"Brothers, here we come"
Harry's eyes softened, "Aren't you afraid of being expelled?" “
"Haha, don't be afraid, maybe everyone will go down in history."
"yes, a piece of Hogwarts history, it's fun to think about"
"Let's go, stop talking nonsense"
“gogo”
Looking at everyone's passionate looks, Harry no longer pushed the door open.
With the creak of the door opening, a low bark immediately rang in their ears. The big dog couldn't see them, but all three of its noses twitched and sniffed frantically toward them. "What's that at its feet?" Hermione asked quietly.
"It looks like a harp," Ron said, "and it must have been left behind by Snape." ”
"Apparently as soon as the music stops, it wakes up immediately." Harry said, "Well, listen...... and he put Hagrid's flute to his mouth and blew it. He couldn't blow out of tune, but as soon as he blew the first note, the big dog's eyes began to droop. Harry was blowing almost non-stop. Slowly, the barking of the big dog ceased—it staggered a few times, fell to its knees, and then fell to the floor and fell into a deep sleep.
"Keep blowing, don't stop"
Billy Helrington reminded Harry, and at the same time, crept towards the trapdoor. As they approached the three huge heads, they could feel the hot, smelly smell of the big dog.
"I think we can pull the trapdoor open."
Squeak
The trapdoor opens
Ron looked at the crowd and asked "who's going down first"
