Chapter 32: One Hundred and Fifty Points!

Hagrid was about to say goodbye to Noble, and Harry and Hermione would have felt sorry for Hagrid if they hadn't been worried about what they were about to do.

Of course, Liu Jiecao felt that Hagrid deserved it, and it was just Quirrell who took advantage of Hagrid's preferences and deliberately used the dragon egg as a lure to make Hagrid spit out the method of the three-headed dog.

This is probably only the first step in the calculation, if Hagrid's dragon is really raised, presumably Quirrell will immediately use various means to blow up the matter of Hagrid's dragon raising, making Hagrid and Dumbledore unlucky, and then Dumbledore will not have time to care about Quirrell's affairs, and then the Philosopher's Stone may ......

And now, Harry and the others are actually sabotaging Quirrell's further calculations, so that an insidious plot will come to an end before it has even begun.

It was a dark, overcast night, and they were a little late when they arrived at Hagrid's cabin, for Peeves was playing tennis against the wall in the foyer, and they had to wait until he left.

Hagrid had packed Noble into a large crate and was ready to go.

"Prepare a lot of rats for him, and some brandy, enough for him to eat all the way." Hagrid said in a dull voice, "I also put his teddy bear in it so that it doesn't feel lonely." ”

There was a tearing sound coming from the crate, and Harry felt as if the teddy bear's head had been ripped off.

"Goodbye, Noble!" Hagrid twitched and said, "Mommy won't forget you!" ”

Harry and Hermione covered the crate with their invisibility cloaks, and then cobalt themselves under the robes.

Liu Jiecao took out a disposable invisibility cloak and disappeared in place.

How to move the crates to the tower, they don't know the bottom of their hearts. As midnight approached, they carried Noble up the marble steps of the foyer and down the dark hallway. One floor up, one floor after another—even though Harry took a shortcut, he didn't feel at all uncomfortable.

"It's almost there!" They reached the hallway one floor below the tallest tower, Harry gasped.

Suddenly there was movement ahead. They were so frightened that they almost threw away the box in their hands. Forgetting that they were invisible, they quickly retreated into the shadows, and watched as two black figures wrestling with each other a dozen paces away from them. A light is shining.

It was Professor McGonagall, dressed in a plaid dressing gown with a net, and tugging at Malfoy's ear.

"Confinement!" She shouted, "Slytherin deduct twenty points!" Wandering around in the middle of the night, how dare you-"

"You don't get it, Professor. Harry. Potter is coming—he's got a dragon with him! ”

"Utter nonsense! How dare you make up such a lie! Go—I'm going to see what Professor Snape does with you, Malfoy!" ”

Once you're out of Malfoy, the steep spiral staircase leading to the tower seems like the easiest stretch in the world. They didn't come to the cold night sky until they took off their cloaks. It's nice to finally be able to breathe freely again. Hermione also did a kind of quick-step dance.

"Malfoy is going to be locked up! I really want to sing! ”

"Don't sing." Harry reminded her.

"Just sing it in your heart." Liu Jiecao also said.

They giggled and laughed at Malfoy as they waited, and Noble moved violently in the box. About ten minutes later, four broomsticks suddenly landed out of the darkness.

Charlie's friends are all cheerful people. They showed Harry and Hermione the ropes they had improvised so they could hang Noble between them. They worked with all hands and feet to tie Noble safely to the rope. Then Harry and Hermione shook their hands and said many words of thanks.

Finally, Noble is gone...... Let's go...... It's gone.

They crept down the spiral staircase, finally freed from the heavy burden of Nobel. Their mood is as light as their hands.

Liu Jiecao was also in a good mood, he had just secretly found an opportunity to stun the little dragon in an instant when Harry and Hermione were happily complaining about Malfoy. Then he quickly drew a tube of blood.

"Well done, Liu Jiecao." He wanted to say that.

If it was just to collect the dragon's genes that he got from Ron, it wouldn't be enough for Liu Jiecao. Now I have a tube of blood, that's right.

The dragon is gone—Malfoy will be locked up—and what can spoil their joy? The answer lies at the bottom of the stairs. As soon as they stepped into the hallway, Filch's face suddenly emerged from the darkness.

"Oops, noos, noos," Harry whispered, "we're in trouble. ”

They forgot about the Cloak of Invisibility on the top of the tower.

Specifically, it should be Harry who forgot about the invisibility cloak, and Liu Jiecao's disposable invisibility cloak is still in his hands.

In an instant, Liu Jiecao threw his invisibility cloak on Hermione's body.

And then......

It couldn't have been worse.

Filch led them to Professor McGonagall's study on the second floor, where they sat without saying a word.

Hermione escaped her fate in the original plot by the way, and she was not caught.

In his place was Liu Jiecao, who stood there expressionless and quiet.

Going to the Forbidden Forest is the reason why he wants to appear tonight, just like why he has to stay with Harry and the others all the time, because there are too many good things that can be touched in the plot, and only by staying by Harry's side, those things have a chance to pass through Liu Jiecao's hands, and if you use other means to get in touch, the cost will be too great.

Harry's mind was racing with many excuses and justifications to defend himself, and some lies to try to fool around, but now they were more and more untenable. He didn't know what they could do to get out of it this time. They are cornered. Alas, why are they so confused that they actually forgot about the invisibility cloak! Whatever their reasoning, Professor McGonagall would not forgive them for not sleeping in the middle of the night, wandering around the school in a sneaky way, and climbing to the highest astronomical tower, where they could not go up except in normal classes. Add to that Noble and the Cloak of Invisibility, and they're long overdue for packing up and heading home.

Does Harry think things can't get any worse? He was wrong. When Professor McGonagall returned, she was followed by Neville.

"Harry!" As soon as Neville saw the two of them, he blurted out, "I've been looking for you to give you a heads up, and I heard Malfoy say he was coming to get you, and he said you had a dragon—"

Harry waved his hand desperately to keep Neville from talking. But Professor McGonagall saw it. She stood tall in front of the three of them, seemingly more likely to breathe fire than Noble.

"I can't believe it's just a few of you. Filch said you went to the Astronomy Tower. Don't forget it's one o'clock in the morning. Explain it yourself. ”

No one spoke.

"I think I understand exactly what this is all about," Professor McGonagall said, "and it doesn't take a lot of brains to figure it out. You've made up a lie out of thin air to accuse Sù Draco. Malfoy, saying there's a dragon or something, trying to trick him out of bed and make him unlucky. I've got him. I didn't expect Longbottom to hear this lie and believe it, I guess you guys think it's funny, right? ”

Harry caught Neville's gaze and tried to tell him in silent words that it wasn't like that. Because Neville looked surprised and aggrieved. Poor, reckless Neville - Harry knew how courageous it would take for Neville to run out in the dark to find them and give them a wake-up.

"I was so angry," Professor McGonagall said, "that four students didn't sleep in one night!" I've never heard of anything like this before! You, Liu Jiecao, I didn't think you would be involved in this kind of thing. As for you, Mr. Potter. I thought you valued Gryffindor's honor. All three of you are going to be locked up - yes, and you, Mr. Longbottom, whatever it may be. You don't have the right to wander around the school in the middle of the night, it's very dangerous - Gryffindor will be deducted fifty points. ”

"Fifty?" Harry felt breathless - they couldn't hold on to their lead, a place he had won with great difficulty in the last Quidditch match.

"Fifty points each." Professor McGonagall said, her long, pointed nose snorting harshly.

"Professor-please-"

"You can't—"

"You don't need to tell me what I can do. What can't be done, Potter. Alright, you all go to bed. I've never blushed so much for Gryffindor students as I do now. ”

Throw away one hundred and fifty points at once. So. Gryffindor was left in last place. In just one night, they destroyed all of Gryffindor's hopes of winning the House Cup.

Liu Jiecao's heart moved, it seems that it is right to let Hermione go, and if you deduct fifty points less, you will be able to level the situation in the original plot.

At the end of the trial of the Savior, as long as he doesn't act, then it is estimated that he can get a negligible score like Neville in the original story, without attracting more attention from Dumbledore.

Harry felt his heart feel empty. Is it possible for them to make up for such a big loss? Harry couldn't sleep all night. He could hear Neville crying on his pillow for a long time. Harry didn't know what to say to comfort him. He knew Neville, like himself, was afraid of the dawn. What happens when the rest of the Gryffindor students find out what good they have done?

Only Liu Jiecao doesn't care about this, and he doesn't need to care.

The next day, the Gryffindor students thought something was wrong when they passed the huge hourglass that recorded the House Cup score. How could they suddenly be one hundred and fifty points less than yesterday?

Then, the news slowly spread: Harry. Potter, the famous Harry. Potter, the hero of two Quidditch matches, had caused them to lose so many points, and he and two other stupid first-year students.

Harry, who had been one of the most popular and admired figures in the school, was now the target of public criticism. Even the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students didn't give him a good look, as they had always wanted to see Slytherin lose the House Cup. Everywhere Harry went, people pointed fingers at him, and he didn't keep his voice down when he said insulting things.

On the other hand, whenever he walked past the Slytherins, they always applauded, whistled, and cheered. "Thank you, Potter, for doing us a great favor!"

Only Ron was on his side.

In addition, compared to the famous Harry, Liu Jiecao and Neville were small people who no one paid attention to, but they didn't suffer much from others. (To be continued......)
