"I just overheard your conversation."

Hermione, with long brown fluffy hair, leaned over and said with a slight warning:

"You must not wander around the school at night, think about how many points Gryffindor will be deducted if you get caught! Harry, don't you think Professor Snape has been deducted enough points? ”

"But it's none of your business, is it?"

Harry asked curiously, blinking twice.

"Maybe she thinks that going out in the evening will affect her studies in the common room, right, Miss Jack-of-all-trades?"

Ron said sarcastically. Miss Jack-of-all-trades was Snape's casual nickname for Hermione, and Ron liked to use it.

"You—you're so selfish."

Hermione's face flushed with anger, "Anyway, I'm a Gryffindor too, and I can't just watch you guys drag the house back!" ”

"So what? You're coming along in the evening? ”

Harry shook his head in disbelief. Ron said with a wicked grin, waving at Norlin and leaving with Harry.

Hermione looked at their departing backs, stomped her feet in annoyance, and poured all her anger on Norin, who was smiling and watching the play:

"Hey, you should have seen that too, right? Why not stop them? ”

"Why should I stop them?"

Norlin asked curiously.

"They're breaking school rules! You're the first in your grade, shouldn't you be ...... like me?"

Hermione snapped, her voice lowering halfway through.

Norin laughed, Hermione, who had just entered the school, still had the mindset of a good student who followed the rules, and you will break no fewer school rules than them in the future.

"There are thousands of school rules, and you can't get caught in the first one."

Norlin gave her a word of experience, ate the last steak on the plate, and walked towards the Slytherin table, leaving Hermione alone to gnash her teeth.

Elena was quietly chatting and laughing with her roommate, Ruth Ryan, and Norlin sat next to her without seeing it, and said with a smile:

"What do you say, so happy?"

"I'm talking about you, and you're coming."

Before Elena could speak, Ruth Ryan answered, her bright eyes scanning Norlin up and down, and she couldn't help but hide her mouth and snicker.

Norlin didn't understand what she was laughing at, but he didn't ask. His intuition told him that it was better to ask less about things between girls.

"Then I'll go first."

Ruth Ryan whispered to Elena in her ear.

Elena gave her a blank look and said nothing. After Ruth walked away, Nolin asked:

"What have you been doing lately? It seems that I rarely see you. ”

Elena looked up and said insincerely, "Learn." ”

Norlin choked, "No wonder Snape has been taking such a liking to you lately." ”

Elena's tall nose wrinkled, and after reacting to what he was saying, she said angrily:

"My Lolo was discovered by him, and he asked me for some potion materials on Lolo, and I had no choice but to give it to him."

At this point, there was still a little anger on her face.

"Lolo...... What is it? Norlin asked with a furrowed brow.

Elena looked at him with a smile and said, "Didn't you meet a big snake by the Black Lake last semester?" ”

Norlin quickly remembered, his eyes widening in disbelief, "You mean, that thing is your pet?" ”

The giant snake in the form of a horse-shaped water monster scared him a lot at the time, and if Dumbledore hadn't appeared in time, Norlin probably had to have a close encounter with it.

"It's called Lolo, and it's a friend of our family."

Elena glared at him disapprovingly.

Norlin had been to Snape's Potions lab, and the various precious potions materials in it had almost dazzled Norin's eyes. Only then did he know that despite the low salary of professors, he was simply rich in private.

It turned out to be the result of Snape's wool gathering little by little.

"No, then you instructed it to come to me at that time?"

Norlin reacted suddenly, squinting at Elena.

"It ran out on its own, and it has nothing to do with me."

Elena whispered.

"So, the weird noises in the Slytherin common room are also responsible for it?"

Norin patted his head, combined with the strange talk of the previous semester, and felt that he had seen through the truth of the matter.

"Not really." Elena shook her head, her face equally confused, "You don't have to ask me about this, I don't know." ”

Norlin also took it too seriously. That was a headache for Snape.

……

At night, the weather is slightly cool, and you can feel some coolness even in the castle.

Autumn has arrived before you know it.

Outside the Gryffindor common room on the eighth floor, three small figures creepily walked forward.

The fat lady in the portrait is also missing, probably going out late at night.

"I can't believe you're going to that stupid duel agreement."

Hermione whispered, "Maybe Malfoy is playing tricks on you—"

"Then why did you come out?"

Ron interrupted her impatiently, and Hermione was nagging like his mother.

"I don't want you to have to deduct all the points I earned from the Alaho Cave in Charms class!"

Hermione glared and said, in fact she thought the same thing, she was going to do her best to avoid being deducted points.

"Then you have to learn from Norlin, and listen to George and Fred say that he won more points for Ravenclaw last year than half of them combined."

Ron teased.

"I almost told you brother, Patsy - he's the prefect, he's going to stop this."

Harry couldn't believe there was such a nosy person.

"Then why don't you go?"

Ron squinted at her. Hermione snorted and didn't answer.

When she went back and thought about it, she realized that there was a little truth in what Norlin said. As long as he doesn't get discovered, tell Patsy that there's still a lot of risk.

"Listen, there's no guarantee that I'll be able to escape Filch's search......"

Hermione said with little confidence. She had also heard a lot of rumors about the castle keeper.

"Since you're coming, paint this one."

Ron took a closer look at her and pulled out a small bottle, "This is what George and Fred have been working on for a long time, and it was specially used for the cat of Ferch. ”

"It's not hard to fool Filch, it's his cat that's tricky, Lady Loris. I asked the two of them for this thing for a long time before they gave it to me, so I can save some use. ”

Hermione poured a little into her hand, suspiciously applying the potion to her clothes. The liquid is pale white and does not smell at all.

They walked briskly along the corridor, moonlight pouring in through the windowsill and spreading on the floor like a strange magic carpet.
