Chapter 50: Danger Comes Ahead (Second Update!) Thank you all for your support!! )
"Silyphus is right. We make sure our students are safe first. ”
This is the dripping mouth stone beast at the door of the headmaster's room, it retreated to the side, the stone wall behind it was opened, Dumbledore strode out of it and looked at the professors who had not gone far, he said with a solemn face.
"Hmm!"
Seeing the appearance of Headmaster Dumbledore, several professors also realized the seriousness of the situation. Hurriedly ran downstairs.
......
Ron felt like he was going to collapse, and he regretted it very much.
I regret why I agreed to Professor Graves in the first place.
The flickering light source made him a little distraught and put down the folder in his hand. He looked up at his companion sitting across from him. Watching the two of them concentrate on stopping the energetic appearance, Ron suddenly had a feeling of 'is this the world of adults?'
"Ron, have you all the information in your hands been organized?"
Just as Ron was in a daze, Hermione raised her head and looked at Ron who was doing nothing with a serious face.
"Ah, Hermione. It's almost nine o'clock now. It's time for us to go back. ”
Seeing that Hermione found himself lazy fishing, Ron scratched his head with his hand, and his eyes inadvertently saw the clock hanging on the wall, eight fifty-five. So he hurriedly avoided Hermione's inquiry on the grounds that it was too late.
"You!!"
Seeing Ron thinking about going back to the dormitory, Hermione puffed out her cheeks angrily, and her face swelled like a small bun.
"Hermione, Ron is right, it's time for us to go. A little later, there is a possibility that Filch will be caught. ”
Harry also spoke, he wasn't in good shape tonight, and wanted to go back and rest early. After saying that, he hugged his head, and the pain came again.
"Harry, are you alright?" Seeing that Harry was not in the right state, the two hurried to Harry's side.
At this point, Harry felt like his brain was about to explode, and some kind of voice was cold, with a malicious voice whispering in his head. The voice seemed to be telling him something, but the intense pain kept him from concentrating.
"Ron, get Harry up with me, and we'll take him to the hospital to find Madam Pomfrey!"
Seeing that Harry couldn't respond to them, and kept showing a pained expression, Hermione was a little flustered, but still made a decisive choice. She grabbed Harry's arm with one hand and put it on her shoulder, looking up and urging Ron, who was in a daze, to come and help.
"Good!"
The sudden change really made Ron panic, and he stood by Harry's side, except that he was very worried about Harry, and he really didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Hermione reacted in time, and he quickly followed Hermione to help Harry up.
With that, the two of them walked out of Rick's office, one on the left and one on the right, holding Harry on their own hands. Slowly navigating the dimly lit hallway, soothing Harry's headache.
It was a long way from Rick's office to the school hospital, and Hermione needed to go down the third floor of the school building and out the door. Then go through a stone path of about 200 meters, and turn through the castle garden corridor to reach the school hospital.
Tonight, according to the prophecy of the professor of the divination class, it should be cloudless and the stars at night are scarce. But now the moon, which was supposed to shine on the whole land, suddenly disappeared into the dark clouds.
It was pitch black outside Hogwarts Castle, and the three thin figures could barely see the way forward under the lights of the castle.
It was originally two minutes away, but Hermione and the others helped Harry to stop and go, and it took four minutes to reach the castle gardens.
Looking at the school hospital, where there was also a window revealing candlelight, the three of them stopped. Ron turned his head to comfort Harry, who let out a low moan.
"Harry, hold on a little longer, we'll be at the school hospital in no time."
"I felt a voice in my head, but I didn't know what it was saying."
Harry said with difficulty, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, not even the last semester's encounter with Voldemort had made him feel such hardship.
"Harry, it's okay. Relax your mind. ”
Hermione helped Harry rub his temples to ease his troubles, a trick Hermione had learned from Rick.
The night in mid-September was already chilling, but tonight's strange weather made Hermione shiver. Ron noticed Hermione's strange appearance and raised Harry's arm and spoke to Hermione.
"Alright, let's go inside."
"Hmm"
With that, Hermione and Ron propped Harry up again, intending to get him into the school hospital in one fell swoop.
At this moment, there was a hissing sound behind them, which the two of them did not notice at first, but as the sound got closer and closer to them. Hermione and Ron realized something was wrong.
After a few steps, the three of them stopped again, Harry's condition was getting worse and worse, his headache was getting stronger, but Hermione and Ron couldn't care about Harry now. They were desperate to know what creatures in the garden could make such a hissing sound.
Hermione looked back cautiously, her eyes squinting as she tried to see farther, but the candlelight in the castle barely helped light their way, but it couldn't completely free everything around them from the clutches of darkness.
"No, no, it can't be a spider. Hermione? ”
At this time, Ron was about to be scared silly, although "Hogwarts Escape" had made him grow a lot, but in reality, he was still very afraid of spiders.
"Not a spider! But it must be a very dangerous existence. Ron! Let's hurry up and get Harry to the school hospital! ”
Endless darkness engulfed every inch of space around them, and the cold wind irritated their nostrils with the foul smell of blood.
Hermione's sixth sense alerted her, and a sense of crisis germinated in her. She lifted Harry's arm back and shouted at the frightened Ron.
They walked quickly towards the school hospital, not daring to look back.
"Don't be a spider, don't be a spider......" Ron prayed quietly, holding back his trembling body.
The hissing sound was getting closer and closer, and with the smell of fishy smell getting stronger and stronger, the squeaky sound of stones being continuously crushed came from the ground.
The fear of the unknown made Hermione and Ron feel a tremor in their souls for the first time.
Suddenly, the two of them felt the heat boiling above them, and the heat rushed down from top to bottom all over their bodies.
"Gott~"
The suffocating stench accompanied the heat invaded the minds of the trio, causing them to forget that danger had come.
"That's where the stench I just smelled came from," Ron, who was retching on his knees, reacted sluggishly.
"What kind of monster the hell?"
Hermione was already on her knees with her hands propped up on the steps leading to the entrance to the hospital hospital, and she tried to stand up, but her legs didn't seem to belong to hers, and no matter how hard she tried, she was still half-kneeling.
