In the middle of the night, Rove quietly got up and left the dormitory and entered the Hufflepuff common room like a wildcat.

The entire lounge was eerily quiet, much of the area shrouded in darkness, the only light coming from the embers in the fireplace, which shimmered.

Rove was in no hurry to go out, he went to the fireplace, re-added a piece of wood, then sat down on the sofa and pulled out a piece of parchment.

He raised his wand, tapped the parchment with the end of his wand and said, "Alaho Cave Open!" ”

The parchment, which was originally blank, was covered with lines of ink as thin as spider webs, which intertwined together to form a map of Hogwarts Castle.

Above the lines, there are also many small ink dots, each of which is marked with a name in very small letters.

Those names are mainly concentrated in the four areas, that is, the dormitories of the four colleges, so the scattered names outside the dormitories are very conspicuous on the map.

Rove looked at the map in his hand and quickly found several moving names, which were:

Snape, Moody, Filch, and Astronomy Professor Sinista.

Three teachers and an administrator patrolled the castle, and it was the first time that Rove had seen such a battle in so many years of night travel.

It can only be said that with the experience of Peter Pettigrew, the school has a good spirit for Barty Crouch, who escaped from prison.

This kind of tight patrol can ensure the safety of students, but it is not so friendly to the great cause of night tours.

Moody, in particular, was among them, and his MONOCULUS was able to see through the Cloak of Invisibility.

Neither Shirley nor Hermione had a Hogwarts map, and he could find out if he wasn't careful.

Rov thought about it for a moment and decided to change his plans and go straight to Shirley and Hermione's dorm room to pick them both up.

Anyway, he knows the specific location, and he knows the way well.

……

……

Lying on a bed with a curtain on it, Shirley was flipping through a magic book called "The Magic of Chadwick".

This book was written by Chadwick Bout and is a textbook at the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

She borrowed it from Margaery and read it in her spare time, thinking of comparing it with Hogwarts textbooks to learn from each other's strengths.

Out of the corner of the girl's eye, she glanced at the clock, and at this time, there was still half an hour before the appointed time, and she could leave the dormitory in a moment to meet up with Rove and Hermione.

At this time, the wallet hanging at the head of the bed suddenly opened, and a piece of gold paper floated out of it, landing in front of the ponytail girl.

Shirley frowned slightly, reached for the paper, and looked at it.

This thing is called magic paper, and it was a Christmas gift from Dumbledore to Rove that year, and the boy kept one for himself and gave the other to himself.

Magic Paper, on the other hand, is similar to a two-way mirror in that it can be communicated remotely:

As long as one person writes on the paper, the other person holding the paper can immediately see the contents.

I saw that magic paper, and a word slowly appeared:

Window.

Shirley didn't think much of it when she saw the message from Rove, she reached out to extinguish the magic lamp at the bedside and pulled back the curtain that blocked the light.

She quietly got out of bed, put on a cloak, and walked towards the windowsill.

The girl went to the window, opened it, and stretched out her cold fingers at night, giving her goosebumps.

Shirley wrapped her cloak tightly and leaned closer to the stone windowsill, looking longingly, seeing the empty square, the dark sky, the countless stars, and ...... Ralph!

He was hovering in mid-air not far away, riding a firebolt, and was waving at her with a smile on his face.

When Rove saw Shirley behind the window, he flicked his broom and flew towards her.

Shirley looked surprised, and suddenly remembered something, and quickly waved her wand, and after blocking the voice with magic, she turned to look at the young man and whispered:

"Rove, why are you here, didn't you make an appointment to meet in the foyer on the first floor?"

"Plans have changed." Rove explained with a smile, "I just checked the Hogwarts map and saw several professors patrolling the castle.

I'm afraid you and Hermione will be discovered, so I'm here to pick you up......"

Rove tilted his head, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hurry up." ”

Shirley snorted, carefully climbed up to the window, took Rove's hand, stepped on the fire crossbow arrow, she sat down, hugged the young man's waist tightly with both hands, and said softly:

"I'm seated."

"Gone!"

Rove whistled lightly, turned his broomstick, and flew towards the Gryffindor Tower.

……

……

Gryffindor Tower,

Harry and Ron crept through the common room, crawled through the portrait hole, pushed the fat lady portrait away, and slipped out.

"Who is it?" The fat lady asked in a hoarse voice. "Who's where?!"

But neither Harry nor Ron said a word, and they both hid under the Cloak of Invisibility and walked down the hallway as fast as they could, trying not to make a sound.

But passing by a room, the two suddenly heard a shout, their hearts almost jumped out, and then they held their breath and cautiously looked through the crack in the door.

I saw Peeves holding paint, throwing it on the wall, and humming a Polish children's song in his mouth:

"I'm a stucco painter, I have strong painting skills, I want to paint that new house more beautifully......"

Harry and Ron found out that it was Peeves, and they became scared faster, and hurried away from the room and headed for the stairs not far away.

When he got down the stairs, Harry whispered:

"If Peeves finds out, it's over."

"yes." Ron said nervously, "He's not easy to deal with." ”

"I heard George and Fred say that they had a map that showed a panoramic view of Hogwarts, including many intricate shortcuts and secret passages.

Most importantly, it also uses small dots with their names to show the people in the castle walking around the corridors. Ron sighed:

"It would be nice if we had that map, to be able to dodge everyone in advance."

"Where's that map now?" Harry asked curiously.

"The year before last, on Halloween, Peter Pettigrew sneaked into their dorm room and stole it." Ron said regretfully.

Harry remembered, he remembered that night, all the students were alarmed, and finally slept in the auditorium.

Harry was about to say something when he suddenly stepped onto a mischievous step, sinking half of his leg into it.

Ron crashed into Harry, fell with a thud, and rolled down the steps, letting out a whoop scream.

Harry tried to climb out of the trap, but his leg got stuck, so he hurriedly called for help, "Ron, come and save me." ”

Ron stopped at the top of the stairs, he got up in pain, limped over to Harry, and was about to pull him out when he heard a screeching sound wafting in.

"I just heard the screaming, nasty students, wandering around in the middle of the night. Tsk, tsk, tsk, naughty, naughty, you're going to be caught. ”

Terrified, Ron quickly picked up the Cloak of Invisibility and covered him and Harry.

Peeves floated over, he didn't see anyone, but he still exclaimed excitedly:

"I know you're here...... Hurry up and get out, or I'll call someone. ”

Of course, Harry and Ron couldn't have come out, so Peeves opened his throat and shouted:

"Students don't sleep! Students don't sleep on the fifth floor stairs here! ”

A moment later, Snape appeared at the top of the stairs with an oil lamp in his hand, and he asked coldly:

"Peeves, what's wrong?"

"There's students, professors," Peeves gloated, "I hear them, and here they are." ”

"Really?" Snape looked around, seeing no one, and he sneered:

"Professor Moody, aren't you coming to take a look? This is your area of expertise. ”

As soon as Snape's words fell, the sound of "pedaling" footsteps sounded not far away.

Harry saw Mad-Eyed Moody limping through the gap in his invisibility cloak and crutches.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a gruff voice.

"Someone used a disillusionment charm, or the Cloak of Invisibility went into hiding." Snape said, "I need your MONOCULUS to help me take a look." ”

Harry's heart skipped a terrible beat when he heard this, and he prayed secretly that Moody's Magic Eye couldn't see him and Ron.

But Moody just swept around, walked over, and finally stopped in front of the two, he bent down, and without hesitation, lifted the invisibility cloak, and asked in a rough voice:

"Potter, Weasley, what are you two doing here when you two don't sleep most of the night?"

Snape stared at Harry, his black eyes flickering, and he said with a smile on his face:

"I want to ...... Potter and Weasley probably date here.

Didn't you read Rita Skeeter's article? The two of them are a couple in love. ”
