Chapter 279: The Clue to the Resurrection Stone
"Who giggled! It's clear that Harry tripped himself up, and you won't let me laugh! Ron looked a little aggrieved, but when he said this, the famous scene of Harry's wrestling in his mind passed again, and he couldn't hold back, and laughed again.
"Am I not nervous?" Harry hurriedly explained to himself, "It's my first time at this kind of ball, don't you want to make me nervous once?" ”
"You're right, Harry, you should be nervous." Ron saw Hermione's murderous gaze and immediately excused Harry.
He'd always been very obedient, especially in the presence of Hermione or his mother.
"Okay, how long are we going to stand here?" Louis coughed and reminded them, "The dance is going to start soon, are we going to stand here all the time?" ”
They made their way to the dance floor, and on the way, Hermione could clearly be seen reaching out and pinching Ron's waist.
Louis doesn't really like dancing very much, but he knows that it is not up to him to like it at this time, and he still has to take care of Catherine's mood.
Therefore, Louis had to accompany Catherine and dance in the field for more than an hour, until he was a little confused, and Catherine took him back to the sidelines.
However, this was not idle, Ye Ziyan came to him to dance again, and after finally sending Ye Ziyan away, Christasa and Sakiya also came to invite him, so he had to endure his impatience to dance on the dance floor with them.
It took a long time for Louis to regain his freedom and return to his seat.
"I have to say, I didn't eat enough just now." Louis sighed, tapped on the table the old way, ordered a bunch of things to eat, and watched the people dance with his face on his face.
There was no one at the guest of honour now, Professor Dumbledore was dancing with Hufflepuff's Headmaster, Professor Sprout, and Ludo Bagman was dancing with Professor McGonagall. Daddy, Mr. Lovegood, took his daughter Aco, and let Aco step on his feet, slowly teaching her how to jump little by little, looking at Aco's expression with obvious reluctance.
Karkaroff didn't know where he was going, but the most striking was Madame Maxim, who was waltzing with Hagrid from student to student, carving a wide path across the dance floor. irresponsibly guessed, it must be because of the size of these two people.
At the end of another piece, the group applauded again, and Ludo Bagman kissed Professor McGonagall on the back of his hand very gentlemanly and briskly shuttled back into the crowd, at which point Fred and George chased after him.
Louis didn't care much either, picking up a piece of blueberry pie and opening his mouth to bite it.
"What are they doing, you say?" A voice rang in his ears, and Louis looked back to see that it was Percy.
"Percy? How did you get here? Louis swallowed the blueberry pie and asked curiously.
Percy smiled sheepishly, "Did I disturb you?" Mr. Crouch has recently disappeared, and the Legal Enforcement Division is in chaos without him...... God, this is so bad, so I wanted to come to Hogwarts and ask Headmaster Dumbledore if he had any opinions. ”
"What can he think?" Louis tugged at the corners of his mouth and glanced at Percy, "It's you, you want to go back to Hogwarts when you have something?" ”
Percy was a little embarrassed, not sitting there, not walking.
"I told you a long time ago that the Ministry of Magic is unreliable, you don't believe it, and you took refuge in Barty Crouch, this old man didn't take you seriously, and even your name can be called wrong......" Louis sneered twice, "It's a good thing for young people to want to climb up, but you can't forget your roots just because you want to climb up." ”
"I'm sorry, Louis." Percy only felt that his face was hot, and what Louis said was right, it could be said that it was very in place, and the words were completely rooted in his heart.
"What's the use of your apology telling me?" Louis forked a piece of chicken thigh meat and elegantly stuffed it into his mouth, "Think about it yourself, since you graduated and joined the Ministry of Magic, how much time has you spent with your family?" ”
Percy opened his mouth, speechless. He didn't even have to think about it, for months, he had been by Mr. Bagman's side, he hadn't even returned home a few times, and he had a heated argument with his mother.
"A man who doesn't take care of his family will never be a real man." Louis began to explode golden sentences, "I won't say anything superfluous, you think about it yourself, and when you figure it out, come back to me." ”
With that, Louis turned his head away and looked at Percy no more.
Immediately afterward, Catherine walked over with a cold expression.
"What's wrong? Little Moon? Louis asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the bathroom, did anyone mess with you?" ”
"Huh? No, I don't. Catherine's expression instantly thawed, "Why do you say that?" ”
Louis spread his hands, saying that he was asking such a sentence.
"I see, Luis." Percy said behind him, "I forgot that I was a Wesley, and I should have stood with my family instead of ...... with the officials of the Ministry of Magic."
"If only you understood." Louis smiled and patted Percy on the back: "It's not hopeless, so let's do it, deputy director of the Law Enforcement Division, I can help you run it, but what I said to you, what you thought about just now, don't forget it, understand?" ”
"I understand!" Percy nodded solemnly.
Harry also walked down, and the first time he saw Percy, he had an urge to call "Weatherby", but when he looked left and right, the twins were not here, so he still didn't call out.
Otherwise, Percy is afraid that he will blow up the temple.
"Percy." Harry greeted, "How did you get to Hogwarts?" ”
"I've come to Headmaster Dumbledore for something." Percy smiled unnaturally, got up to say hello to Louis, and left the area, walking towards Dumbledore.
Harry sat down with Lila Strasza, crossed his legs, and looked very adult: "What is he doing here?" I heard that Aunt Molly had a big fight with him, and really, I thought he would be the most worrying kid in Wesley's house. ”
"Every family has a hard book to read, Harry." Louis said indifferently, "We don't care about other people's affairs, what we can do well is to eat well." ”
】
As he spoke, Louis picked up a large piece of blueberry pie and placed it in front of Harry, "Well, you just grabbed me a blueberry pie to eat, and now I'll give you a big piece so you can eat enough." ”
Harry looked at the large blueberry pie in front of him, his expression was somewhat strange, how to describe it, like the look on his face when the acid water was turned up in his stomach.
It's not that he's just eaten too much, it's that this blueberry pie is so tired and sweet.
Louis ate that, of course, too, or he wouldn't have shared the blueberry pie with Harry.
"Are you hungry?" Harry looked back at Lila Stassa.
Without saying anything, Lilastrasza took the blueberry pie from Harry, knowing that Harry would not be able to eat it.
"So, I still like Red Dragon." Harry said happily, "Look, I think Lila is much better than Hermione anyway." ”
"Don't you feel like there's some murderous intent behind you?" Louis asked Harry cautiously.
Harry was happy: "How is it possible, in this ball, who can kill me?" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head, and in front of him was Hermione's face.
"Let's go out for a walk, Louis." Harry resolutely offered Louis an invitation, and he didn't want to stay here for a minute.
Louis glanced at Hermione, whispered a question about Catherine, and after getting Catherine's permission, immediately got up and followed Harry out.
"Harry......" Ron muttered Harry's name in a desperate tone, but he didn't dare to follow, he knew that if he did, Hermione would take care of him.
Louis and Harry stood sideways around the dance arena, and to avoid unnecessary attention, they kept their heads down as low as they could, and quietly walked out the door into the foyer.
The front door was wide open, and occasionally a few Durmstrang or Beauxbatons students passed by. As they descended the steps, the little light in the rose garden shimmered like the stars blinking over there.
The layout outside the foyer had been magically altered, with low bushes, richly decorated winding paths, and huge stone statues all around them.
Louis could hear the splashing of water very clearly, like a fountain, and occasionally he could see people sitting on carved benches, chatting passionately, and young couples kissing as if no one was on the bench.
"The impact is extremely bad!" Louis whispered to Harry, "Look at them, there's no shame, you don't want to be like this." ”
Harry nodded awkwardly, blushing as he remembered the time he had just sat here with Lilastasa.
?
A question mark flashed in Luis's heart, are you blushing a bubble teapot?
He didn't get to the bottom of it, and led Harry down a winding path through the roses, but within a few steps he heard a familiar voice.
"I don't understand why there's such a fuss, Yin Gor."
Louis turned back to Hallier with a silent gesture and quietly touched him, just in time to see Professor Snape talking to Karkaroff.
"Severus, oh my God, you can't pretend it didn't happen!" Karkaroff's voice sounded frightened and hoarse, as if he was afraid of being heard, "It has become more and more obvious over the years. I'm very worried right now and I can't deny ......"
"Then run away," Snape's voice was extremely impatient, "run away, run as far as possible, don't worry, I'll excuse you...... But you don't expect me to go with you, I'll stay at Hogwarts. ”
"Hogwarts? You're crazy...... Ah, I see, you're for that woman, aren't you! Karkaroff's voice was a little frenzied, "What's so good about her!" It's worth your ......."
Harry gloated at Louis and whispered, "It can't be Aunt Emma, right?" ”
Immediately afterward, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Even if she died, you still guarded her son, the boy who didn't die? Ha, that's ridiculous, look at you......"
Harry's face became more and more heavy, Damn, it's actually my mother?
Eating melons and eating them to your own home belongs to yes.
Before he could finish speaking, Snape took his wand and blasted the roses in both directions. He had a straight face and an ugly expression. Screams rang from the many flowers, and several black figures burst out of them.
"Ravenclaw deduct ten, Fawcett!" Snape reprimanded fiercely, and a girl ran past him, "Hufflepuff deducts ten points, Stabins!" Another boy chased after the girl.
"Also, what are you two doing?" Professor Snape appeared in front of the two eavesdropping.
"Of course it's not up to you to chase those two wild mandarin ducks, Professor." Louis replied politely, glancing at Karkaroff, who returned him with a forced smile. Louis continued, "Professor, you know me, and I'm afraid of the dark, so I'm going to bring Harry with me. ”
Snape squinted at him, his expression cold, clearly not believing Louis's nonsense.
"Of course, I don't want to come to you either." Louis shrugged and decided to shake the pot off, "But my mom had to let me come, so I couldn't help it." ”
Snape was stunned for a moment, subconsciously choosing to believe Lewis's statement, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Oh, nothing serious." Louis glanced at Karkaroff again, and then stopped.
Karkaroff coughed twice and said very knowingly: "That, I still have something to do, so let's go first." ”
When Karkaroff was gone, Louis leaned over to Snape and whispered, "The Resurrection Stone." ”
Snape was immediately refreshed, and he straightened his back and made a gesture to go back, but was stopped by Louis.
"I lied just now, Professor, it wasn't my mom who called you." Louis rubbed his nose with his hand, "The news of the resurrection stone is just a clue for me here, don't ask where it came from, in short, this clue is absolutely reliable." ”
"I believe in you." Snape nodded, although his student is usually more out of tune, but in terms of reliability, no one at Hogwarts is more reliable than him, not even Dumbledore.
"Tomorrow, then, Professor." Louis whispered, "When the Karkaroff and Wesley twins are done, we'll talk about it together in the Headmaster's Office, and I think Professor Dumbledore will be interested in this thing as well." ”
Snape glanced at him, as cold as ever, and he grabbed his horse and nodded, shook his cloak, and whaled away, like a bat, without taking a cloud with him.
