"You're right, Harry." Hermione said softly.

"I'm going to use my invisibility cloak." Harry said, "Thankfully, I got it back." ”

Liu Jiecao rolled his eyes, did you really think you got it back? It wasn't someone Dumbledore who got it back for you.

"But can it cover all four of us?" Hermione asked.

"We—the four of us?"

Liu Jiecao was depressed again, it seemed that his disposable invisibility suit had been forgotten by everyone.

"Oh, don't be stupid, do you think we're going to leave you alone?"

"Of course not." Hermione said bitterly, "How did you think of leaving us alone to find the Philosopher's Stone?" I'd better go through my books and maybe find something useful......"

"But if we get caught, the three of you will be expelled."

"Probably not." Hermione said firmly, "Flitwick secretly told me that I scored a hundred and twelve on his class. With such a high score, they were reluctant to drive me away. ”

Eventually, Harry finally agreed.

After dinner, the four of them nervously avoided others and sat in the common room. No one paid attention to them; In fact, the Gryffindor students don't have anything to say to Harry right now. For the first time in many days, Harry didn't feel sorry for it. Hermione busied through all her notes, hoping to stumble upon a spell they were going to break later. Harry and Ron rarely spoke, both thinking about what they were about to do.

As for Liu Jiecao, he wants to participate in this adventure as a witness, and now he is also staying quietly.

One by one, the students went to bed, and the number of people in the common room gradually decreased.

"It's time to go get the Cloak of Invisibility." Ron said.

At this time, Li Jordan finally stretched his waist and yawned and left. Harry ran upstairs and stormed their pitch-black dorm room. Remove the Cloak of Invisibility. It was then that he stumbled upon the flute that Hagrid had given him for Christmas. He pocketed the flute and prepared to use it against Lou Wei - he didn't think 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 all four of us - if Filch sees a pair of feet walking on the ground on its 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 their sinister faces.

"You're going out again." He said.

"No, no." Hermione said. "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 go out." Neville said, "You're going to get caught." In that case, Gryffindor would be even more unlucky. ”

"You don't understand." "It's a very important thing. ”

But this time Neville seemed to be determined to stop them.

"I won't let you do that." As he spoke, he hurried over to the entrance to the portrait hole. "I'm going to- I'm going to take on you!"

"Neville." Ron was 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! ”

"That's right. But not against us. Ron said angrily, "Neville, you have no idea what you're doing. ”

He took a step forward, and Neville threw away the toad in his hand. The little thing was gone.

"Come on, come and hit me!" Neville raised his fists and said. "I'm ready!"

Harry turned to Hermione.

"Let's figure it out." He said anxiously.

Hermione stepped forward.

"Neville." She said. "I'm very, very sorry for that."

She raised her wand.

"All - petrified!" She pointed her wand at Neville and shouted. Neville's arms snapped to his sides, and his legs stood straight. His whole body stiffened, and he swayed in place a few times before falling to the ground with a thud, looking as hard as a plank.

Hermione ran over and flipped him over. Neville's upper and lower gums locked together, unable to speak. Only his eyes were rolling, looking at them in horror.

"What did you do to him?" Harry asked in a whisper.

"It's a full-body bondage spell." Hermione said sadly, "Oh, Neville, I'm so sorry. ”

"You'll understand later, Neville." Ron said, and they stepped over Neville and donned the Cloak of Invisibility.

Well, it's just that the four of them are squeezing an invisibility cloak, and it feels terrible to think about it. In the end, Liu Jiecao still took out a disposable invisibility suit and shook it, which finally relieved the other three.

However, leaving Neville lying on the floor motionless, they always felt that this was not a good sign. In the midst of high emotional tension, each sculpture in the shadows resembled Filch's figure, and every hint of wind in the distance sounded like Peeves swooping down on them.

Just as they were about to ascend the first staircase, they suddenly saw Lady Loris hiding on the top floor of the staircase.

"Oh, let's kick it, just kick it once." Ron whispered in Harry's ear, but Harry shook his head. They walked around it carefully, and Lady Loris looked at them with the bright eyes of two thieves, but saw nothing.

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?" As they stepped up the stairs and headed for him, Peeves suddenly narrowed his mischievous black eyes and said, "I know you're there, though I can't see it." Are you a ghoul, a ghost, or a student ghost? ”

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," he said softly in a hoarse voice, "Bloody Barrow doesn't want to be seen, and naturally he has a reason. ”

Peeves was so taken aback that he nearly fell out of the air. He steadied himself just in time and hovered a foot above the stairs.

"I'm sorry, Bloody Man, Mr. Barrow, Sir." "It's all my fault, it's all my fault—I didn't see you—of course I can't, you're invisible—forgive little Peeves for this little joke, sir." ”

"I've got something to do here, Peeves." Harry whispered, "Don't come here tonight. ”

"Yes, sir, I will obey." Peeves said, rising into the air again. "I hope you get things going well, Lord Barrow, and I won't bother you." With that, he fled as fast as he could.

"That's wonderful, Harry!" Ron whispered.

Seconds later, they were out of the hallway—the door had cracked.

"How. See. Harry whispered, "Snape has passed through Lowe without incident. ”

Seeing that ajar door, they seemed more aware of what they were about to face.

Harry said to Ron and Hermione under the invisibility cloak, "I don't blame you if you want to back down now. ”

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." Hermione said.

"We've already made it this far, so let's quit?" Liu Jiecao said with a smile.

Harry 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, "Snape must have stayed." ”

"Apparently as soon as the music stops, it wakes up immediately." Harry said, "Okay, listen......"

He put Hagrid's flute to his lips 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 dog's barking 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." Ron reminded Harry as they stripped off their invisibility cloaks and 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." Ron said, looking behind the big dog, "Hermione, would you like to be the first to go down?" ”

"No, I don't want to!"

"Okay." Ron gritted his teeth and carefully stepped over the big dog's lap. He bent down and pulled the tab on the trapdoor, and the door opened suddenly.

"What can you see?" Hermione asked anxiously.

"There was nothing to see—it was pitch black—and there was no ladder to go down, so we had to jump."

Harry, still playing the flute, waved his hand at Ron to catch his attention, and then flicked his finger at himself. "You want to be the first to go down? Are you sure? Ron said, "I don't know how deep this hole is. Give Hermione the flute and let her continue to put the big dog to sleep. (To be continued......)
