Chapter 9: The Horcrux Miss
In the sound of the school song that Dumbledore couldn't bear to look at, the grand and grand opening banquet ended.
All the students are full of food and drink, and it is the time when their energy is the highest, they get together in twos and threes, talk and laugh, and finally return to their dormitories under the leadership of the prefects of each college.
Including teachers.
"Li Yang, Li Yang......" Hagrid stood up from the corner of the guest of honor, his huge body sliding forward the huge dining table, and the legs of the table made a piercing sound of rubbing against the ground.
Hearing the call behind him, Li Yang didn't stop, as if he didn't hear it, he mixed into the chaotic group of students, and couldn't find it in a blink of an eye.
Gryffindor common room.
"The senior students go back separately, a group of first-year freshmen are just a group of freshmen, there is nothing to see, the freshmen can be assigned dormitories according to their own wishes, each dormitory lives four people, and then I registered here, do you see the two doors on the other side of the notice board? On my left hand side is the girls' dormitory, and on my right hand side is the boys' dormitory......" Prefect Percy stood in front of him, commanding the new students in a loud voice.
The bedroom is a circular space, with four beds facing each other, with just the right layout that does not look crowded or empty, and with a crimson flannel curtain, it looks very warm.
It felt like home.
This was Harry's most intuitive feeling.
Ron was bouncing around on the soft bed, still in high spirits.
Neville bowed his head and silently made his bed and luggage.
Li Yang was lying comfortably on the bed, with one foot still on the beautifully carved curtain at the foot of the bed, his hands pillowing behind his head, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep, but in fact he was thinking about how to sneak into the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor and obtain the Philosopher's Stone.
"Li Yang, where is your owl?" After Ron's excitement passed, he looked curiously at the personal belongings that others had organized, and saw that there was a birdcage at the head of Harry and Neville's bed, and in it were their respective owls, except for Li Yang's bedhead, which was empty.
"I didn't buy it." Li Yang didn't move, and replied in his mouth.
"Why?"
"I don't need it."
"Why can't you use it?"
Harry pulled Ron aside and whispered, "Li Yang's parents are dead, and he has no relatives, no one will write to him, and he doesn't need to write to others, so there is no need to buy it." ”
At the beginning, he bought the school supplies with Li Yang, so he naturally knew it.
"It's pathetic." Ron looked at Li Yang with sympathy in his eyes.
"By the way, Li Yang, Hagrid was looking for you just now, do you know?" Harry suddenly remembered Hagrid.
"I don't know." Of course Li Yang knew.
"You left the Leaky Cauldron and stayed somewhere else, and didn't come until the first day of school, which worried Hagrid, and he said that he had to tell you about the complexity and danger of the world around Diagon Alley, and that with your confused personality of not knowing the way, running around like this would happen, and he had made it all up for that...... Ahem, I've thought of several stories to inspire you. ”
Li Yang touched his nose, "It looks like I've had to hide from Hagrid recently." ”
Harry was also very clever, and gave a smile that I understood, and didn't say anything more.
"Squeak ......" The mouse cries sounded, and Ron finally remembered that the pet he had been keeping in the suitcase was released, and fed by the way.
"Wow!"
Li Yang, who had been on the verge of falling asleep in bed, suddenly became energetic, sat up, looked at the mouse in Ron's arms, and praised: "What a beautiful mouse!" Can you show me? ”
Pretty?
Harry and Neville, looking at Ron's somewhat dirty gray-haired mouse, froze.
What is this aesthetic?
"You think my spots are pretty too." Only Ron was very happy, as if he was being praised, and handed the mouse to Li Yang very generously.
Li Yang took the mouse, stroked the hair on the mouse's body with both hands, and praised it again and again, "It's so beautiful, oh, great, Ron, I really like this mouse so much, can you give it, no, sell it to me?" ”
"Bring it." With lightning speed, Ron snatched the mouse from Li Yang's hand and protected it tightly in his arms.
Li Yang got out of bed, walked towards Ron, stretched out his hands, and said with emotion, "Ron, I really like this mouse, you can sell it to me, I am willing to pay twice, no, three times the price." ”
"Don't even think about it."
Ron exclaimed, "This was my birthday present when I was one year old, and I have been with me for twelve years, and even Fred and George scare me with spiders, and I have not given them a test subject to play pranks." ”
He said so, what else could Li Yang do?
What an unlovable little ghost.
Li Yang fell back to his bed stupidly.
After a while, he got up again.
"What are you doing?" Ron subconsciously grabbed the love mouse, and his vigilance exploded.
"Go to the bathroom." Li Yang said, got out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom.
Walk through the common room, say hello to the fat lady, and step up the dizzying staircase with free movement.
Li Yang stood on the stairs for a while.
He was looking forward to the stairs that would lead him directly to the door of the forbidden area where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden, just like Harry did in the movies.
It's a pity that after going around several times, either on the first floor or on the second floor, after breaking into the kitchen for the last time and being almost caught as a thief by hundreds of angry house-elves, Li Yang finally had no illusions about these stairs.
Seeing that the lights are out, students are forbidden to leave the dormitory after the lights are turned off.
Li Yang didn't dare to delay, left the stairs, and pretended to go in the direction of the bathroom, but turned around the corner of the stairs and went straight away.
"Hey, little ghost, you dare to sneak out of the dormitory at night."
"I'm going to complain to Dumbledore."
"Kid, please lower your footsteps, I'm going to sleep."
…… The portraits on the walls on both sides of the corridor moved with Li Yang's arrival, shouting, angry, or laughing.
The quiet corridor suddenly came alive.
Li Yang walked briskly.
"Stop."
Suddenly there was a shout behind him, stirring up the portraits on the wall and making a commotion.
"Look, our junior prefect is here."
"The bad student who sneaked out of the dormitory was caught, haha."
"Shut up, I'm going to sleep."
…… Percy ignored the portrait on the wall, strode behind Li Yang, with a straight face, he was only fifteen years old, but he looked like a long-time official, "The lights are out, what are you sneaking out for?" ”
"I went to the bathroom and my stomach hurt." Li Yang immediately covered his stomach.
Percy pointed to the corner staircase behind him, "The bathroom is downstairs, what are you running to the restricted area upstairs?" ”
Li Yang's eyes rolled, "I'm lost." ”
"Lost?" Percy was a little unconvinced.
"That's right."
Li Yang said with a bitter face: "This Hogwarts is really too big, and there are many staircase rooms, it's like a labyrinth, prefect, your appearance is really timely, otherwise I guess I will have to pull the crotch of my pants, oops, oops, no, I can't hold it back......"
Li Yang's face showed a look of pain, his hands covered his stomach, and he bent down, as if he couldn't help but squat here.
"Poof." I even let out a fart.
Percy's face changed drastically, and he covered his nose, for fear that Li Yang would pull something down in the jurisdiction under his management, so he hurriedly pointed behind him, "The bathroom is over there, go quickly, go quickly." ”
Li Yang clutched his stomach and ran towards the downstairs bathroom where Percy was fingering.
"Look at it like this, it shouldn't be fake." Percy muttered, then waved the wide sleeves of his robe in disgust to dispel the stench.
Li Yang turned the corner, but did not go to the bathroom, but stopped in place, lying in the corner, and secretly looked at Percy in the corridor.
One minute, two minutes......
Didn't wait for Percy to leave.
Li Yang's face suddenly changed, and he covered his stomach, "Damn, it's real." ”
Before, on the train, on the boat, his stomach was noisy, and then Xu got a rest in the restaurant, and finally stopped making trouble, but he didn't expect to run like that just now, and he was energetic again.
At this time, Li Yang couldn't take care of Percy and the Philosopher's Stone, so he ran downstairs with a smoke, and rushed into the bathroom in a bit of a panic.
Elaborate urinals, reliefs depicting beautiful patterns on the walls, silver faucets, toilets with soft velvet cushions, gold-encrusted chandeliers......
"Good fellow, knowing that this is the wizarding world, there is no need to exaggerate it." Li Yang muttered in his heart, forced by the three urgency of others, he didn't have the heart to think about it, took off his pants, and sat on the toilet......
"Wow~" The toilet water swept down, Li Yang stood up, put on his pants, washed his hands, and walked out of the bathroom with a full body.
As soon as he walked to the staircase, when he saw that there was a downward staircase under the staircase, Li Yang froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.
"If I'm not mistaken, the bathroom is on the first floor, and the entrance to the basement is at the end of the corridor on the first floor......" Li Yang muttered in his mouth, as if he sensed something, his face changed, and he ran back the same way frantically.
Finally stop at a wall.
And here, just now, it was obviously a luxury bathroom!
Li Yang slapped the wall in front of him weakly, and shouted in his heart:
"God, no, Merlin's beard, what the hell have I done? I actually ran into the Room of Requirement, just and left......"
"My Horcruxes."
PS: The original Hogwarts dormitory was five beds, and only four are written here.
