Chapter 57: Confinement
After a few days in the hospital, Ron was finally discharged. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Despite the sneering at Harry, Ron was still on Harry's side.
"Don't worry too much, in a few weeks' time they'll forget about it, Fred and George have been losing points since they started school and people still love them. ”
"But they've never dropped a hundred points all at once, have they?" said Harry sadly.
Ron was speechless, and had to admit, "Hmm...... Not really. ”
"Alright, that's the end of it. Al said, "Now that the loss has been done, it's too late to regret it, so cheer up." ”
Thankfully, they were about to take exams, no one was paying attention to Harry, and everyone was having to bury their heads in revision and prepare for the upcoming exams.
El and the others review late into the night almost every day, trying to memorize complex potion recipes, those spells and spells, and the dates of major magical inventions and fairy rebellions.
However, just a week before the exam, when they came out of the library, they heard someone sobbing and crying in the classroom in front of them.
It was Quirrell's voice.
"No...... No way...... I can't do it anymore, I beg you ......"
Sounding like someone was threatening Quirrell, Al made a silent gesture to Hermione and walked softly to the classroom.
"Okay...... Well......" They heard Quirrell sobbing quietly, as if compromising something.
Then, Quirrell hurried out of the classroom, as if he hadn't noticed Al or the others, and strode out of their sight as he straightened his scarf.
Al saw Quirrell's face pale, as if he was about to cry.
They waited until Quirrell's footsteps were gone before they looked into the classroom, which was empty, but the door on the other side had opened a crack.
"I'm willing to bet twelve philosopher's stones that the person who leaves through the other door is definitely Snape. Ron swore an oath.
Al touched his chin and whispered to them, "If it's really Snape, that's bad, you can tell from Quirrell's words just now, he seems to have surrendered." ”
With that said, Snape finally got his hands on it. Hermione said, "If Quirrell tells him how to break his spell, it means that Snape will soon be doing something to the Philosopher's Stone!"
"Don't forget, there's also Lowe. Harry reminded.
"Maybe Snape already knew how to deal with Lowe. Al said, "There may be a method in the library, detailing how to deal with a three-headed dog!"
"So what do we do?" Ron asked.
"Why don't we go to Dumbledore?" Hermione asked, "We should have done this a long time ago, and if we continued to go it alone, we would have been expelled from school in the end." ”
"But we don't have proof. Al reminded, "And we shouldn't have known about the Philosopher's Stone, if we told Dumbledore about it, would you say he would believe us, or would he trust one of the school's teachers?"
"Al is right," Harry added, "Rocky is so scared that he won't come out to testify for us, and it's no secret that we hate Snape, and Dumbledore will think we're making up this nonsense to get Snape expelled." ”
"If we scouted around......" Ron's eyes flashed with adventure.
Before Ron could finish his sentence, Harry interrupted him, and he simply refused, "No, we've scouted enough. ”
It seems that after what happened last time, Harry has clearly learned his lesson and does not dare to take risks easily.
The next morning, while Harry and Neville were having breakfast, they both received the same note, which read: Your confinement begins at eleven o'clock tonight, and look for Mr. Filch in the foyer.
Ever since Harry lost his scores, he had been stared at and spurned by the people, who had almost forgotten that Harry was going to be locked up.
Al had expected Hermione to complain about another night's revision, but she didn't say anything, as if she felt Harry deserved such punishment.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Al said goodbye to Harry and Neville in the break room.
When Harry and Neville were gone, Al appeared restless.
"What's wrong with you?" Hermione asked, confused, sensing that Al wasn't in the right mood.
"I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. Al rubbed his face, and continued, "I was supposed to be punished with Harry, but I was lucky not to be caught by Filch because I went to get the Cloak of Invisibility. ”
"It's not your fault. Hermione patted Al on the shoulder, and she explained, "And because you weren't caught, Gryfin deducted fifty points, isn't it better!"
Al understood the reason, but he just felt ashamed of Harry, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made a decision.
"No, I'll have to go out and have a look, I'm afraid Filch will not be good for Harry, so I'm just sitting here and waiting, I'm really a little worried. ”
Hermione was engaged in a fierce battle of thoughts, on the one hand, she thought that it was wrong for Al to go out without permission, and on the other hand, she was worried that something would go wrong if Al continued to be so entangled.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Hermione finally nodded.
Al tried to persuade her not to go, but seeing Hermione's serious expression, he could only swallow the words back into his stomach.
"Okay, but don't tell Ron, I'm afraid he'll go with him, and I'm afraid there will be a mess when there are too many people. ”
While Ron was sleeping in bed, Al quietly took out Harry's invisibility cloak, then slipped it on Hermione and slipped out of the Gryffindor common room.
Al and the others hurried to find Harry in the foyer, along with Harry and Neville, Filch and Malfoy.
Al almost forgot that Malfoy was also the one who needed to be locked up.
"Follow me. Filch said, lighting a lamp and leading them out of the castle.
"I think you're going to have to think twice about violating the effect in the future, aren't you, huh?" Filch squinted at Harry and continued, "Oh, yes...... If you ask me, I would say that hard work and hardship are the best teachers...... It's a shame that they've done away with the old-fashioned forms of punishment of the past. ”
"Hang your wrists...... Hang you from the ceiling for days. I still have those chains in my office, and I often oil them, maybe one day they will come in handy...... Okay, let's go, but don't try to run away, for if you do, you won't have any good fruit to eat. ”
