Chapter 135: Blake Appears
"I personally don't think Blake will betray them. But that's just my own selfish opinion," Lupin said slowly, after a moment's stunned look.
"Thank you very much"
There was a sudden knock on the door
"Come in," Lupin shouted
Snape pushed the door open and walked in, smoking glass in hand. The original playful expression, after seeing Harry, his eyes narrowed and turned cold.
"It's Severus," Lupin smiled, "Thank you so much, can you put it on the table?"
"I think you should drink it right away, Lupin"
"Okay, okay, I'll drink it right away," Lupin agreed
"I've boiled a big pot for you," Snape smiled sarcastically, "I'm afraid you still need it"
"Thanks, Severus, I'll probably have some more tomorrow" Lupin didn't care about his attitude
"You're welcome," Severus said with a smirk as he left the room
Harry looked at the glass curiously, and Lupin explained with a smile
"This is a potion that Professor Snape kindly brewed for me. I'm not very good at pharmaceuticals myself," he took a sip from his glass, "tsk—this tastes—"
"Why are you drinking medicine? Sick? Harry asked
The same can be said. It's like Muggles say arthritis, it hurts when it rains on a cloudy day. I also feel sick for a certain amount of time. He took another big gulp and grinned, "Only this medicine works." Luckily, I had Lady Erin help with some of them, and Professor Snape was here to teach at Hogwarts. You know, there aren't many wizards who can concoct this potion. ”
"Lady Irene?"
"Yes, Mother Ivey's potions talent is even better than Snape's."
Lu Ping drank all the remaining potions in one go, stuck out his tongue, and put on a bitter face, "Is there anything else?" I can't wait to have some dessert to moisten my throat."
"......," Harry hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Professor, can you teach me how to use the Patronus Charm?" ”
"That's what Ivey told you?" Lupin was not surprised
"Well, both he and Betty can do it successfully. He also taught me, Hermione, and Ron, but with the exception of Ron, neither of us went well. Harry replied honestly
"Honestly, I'm not an expert at fighting Dementors," Professor Lupin said, "Miss Wendy, I don't know if you've seen it, it's Miss Ethel's mother"
"Seen"
"She's an expert in Patronus charms. Ivey and Betty must be inseparable from her for this kind of achievement. In contrast, my level is just getting started. ”
"But I can't wait for someone to save me every time, I have to have a way to defend against them," Harry was anxious
Seeing that his expression was determined, Lupin thought for a while, "Okay, I can teach you." But wait until I have time, I've been too busy lately. ”
"Good!" Harry excitedly. After receiving Professor Lupin's assurance, he was not in a hurry.
"Now let's get ready for the banquet"
————
At dinner time, the Halloween feast officially begins. As in previous years, the sky was filled with candles, jack-o-lanterns, and the decorations were surrounded by bats. Not to mention food and drinks, there are all kinds of varieties and styles.
It is worth mentioning that this year, the ghosts were invited to perform, and the result was a warm response from the young wizards, and everyone was still discussing with each other after the banquet.
"Hiccup~" On the way back to the lounge, Ivy burped comfortably. This semester is his last developmental period, so he eats a lot every time.
"Eat so much every day, your little belly is about to come out" Betty pinched his belly
"Little things—" Ivy didn't care, "It's just this bit of fat, I can practice it in minutes." But then again—" he glanced at Betty's fledgling body, "you and Hermione and Harry don't seem to grow meat at all. Harry, in particular, didn't even grow long. ”
"It's not your business, go to sleep," the two came to the entrance of the lounge. There's been a knock on the door, just go inside.
"Why, it's my business!" Ivy yelled, then smiled lewdly, "Your development is crucial to me."
"Rogue" Betty was not angry, and gave him a blank look, "I went to sleep"
————
"Knock knock——! Ivy! Are you all there! ”
Inside the dormitory, Mike is dancing to the others imitating skeletons. Prefect Cedric suddenly knocked on the door and shouted
Ivey opened the door "What's wrong?" ”
The principal asked all the students to return to the auditorium. Hurry up and get dressed and assemble in the break room. Cedric said and hurried to the next floor
"What's going on?" Mike wondered
"Who knows. Let's go, let's go and assemble, and it should be clear when we get to the auditorium. Ivey shrugged
They quickly dressed and made their way to the break room. Some of the students have already arrived here, because they have just finished the banquet, and they are still in the mood. Seeing Betty waving to him, he walked over.
"Any idea what's going on?" She asked quietly
"It's not a good thing anyway"
"Nonsense. Is it a good thing to call us together so late," Betty gave him a blank look
"If it's bad, guess it. Maybe the Dementors broke into the castle, or maybe Black entered Hogwarts. That's all for this semester," Ivy said very casually. If the seven Harry Potters are considered to be seven copies, then this third copy is a free perks for him. Except for Voldemort, no one else can arouse his interest in the slightest.
Soon, the Hufflepuff students were all gathered in the common room. Dean Sprout led everyone back to the auditorium. The Gryffindor students were already here, but they didn't look good.
"Looks like you should know what's going on." Ivey and Betty find Harry. They all looked okay, because they knew something inside, and they weren't as nervous as the other Gryffindor students.
"It's Blake—he's in the castle," Hermione whispered as they approached
"Someone saw it?" Betty asked
"Well, Peeves saw it"
"Do you believe what Peeves says?"
"It was to Dumbledore. And the portrait of the entrance to the common room of our academy was also destroyed. Hermione said as she looked at Ron meaningfully
Betty understood what she meant, and patted her to keep quiet.
"Wait. Ron wasn't stupid either, and Spotted would soon get news from him to see how it reacted. Ivey also lowered her head and whispered
"Hmm," Hermione nodded
Several people were thinking about things. It wasn't long before Slytherin and Ravenclaw students arrived in the auditorium. Dumbledore saw that everyone was there and announced the incident.
The little ones didn't panic much when they heard this, they more or less knew Blake's purpose. For a moment, nearly a hundred pairs of eyes were focused on Harry. There are worried, there are schadenfreude, and more are indifferent.
"The professors and I need to conduct a full search of the castle," Dumbledore motioned to Professor McGonagall and Flitwick to close all the doors and windows of the Great Hall
"For your safety, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night here tonight. The prefects of each college are responsible for managing the students of their own colleges, and if there is any situation, they will report to me immediately. Then he looked at Ivey, "Mr. Shafiq, if you work hard, you will handle the door." ”
"Yes," Ivey replied
After arranging, Dumbledore turned around and was about to leave, but turned back and said, "By the way, you should need this-" He waved his wand, and the long table in the Great Hall automatically moved to the wall. Then, hundreds of soft purple sleeping bags appeared on the ground.
"Let's sleep well," he said, and left with the professors
As soon as the teachers left, the auditorium burst into discussion
"Blake is not a threat to us, let's sleep well." Giving Betty a look, she walked out of the auditorium and closed the door.
Arriving in the foyer, Ivy took a moment to fill the room with mental power. Then walk out of the foyer and sit on the steps outside to enjoy the night view.
Tonight, Hogwarts is starry, the plain white moonlight is shining on the surface, and the sky and the earth are silent. The evening breeze blows gently, and the grass waves rise and fall with the wind, which looks very pleasant.
"Ha-the view is good~" He leaned back, his left arm against the steps, and his face was comfortable. Out of nowhere in his right hand, he took out an apple and nibbled on it.
"At this point, Sirius has probably escaped through the secret passage," Ivy thought as he chewed on his apple. He didn't think the professors' searches would have any effect
"George and Fred probably haven't given Harry the map yet. Now I'm afraid only Lupin can guess how Sirius got in. ”
"Actually, it's almost over. Harry still believed my rhetoric, and Ron was clearly suspicious of Spotted. When you get the map, Peter Pettigrew will be exposed, and the truth will be revealed. ”
"But do you want to let Peter go? With Harry's character, he would definitely not kill him, and Blake needed him to live. ”
"Forget it~ Go back to Erin and get a bottle of wolf poison potion for them. If Peter had escaped again, there would have been no way to do it. ”
Under the cool night sky, Ivy was thinking leisurely when she suddenly noticed someone walking into the foyer.
"Mr. Shafiq" At the same time, a soft cry came. Ivy looked back and saw that Dumbledore was already standing behind him.
"Professor"
"I'm sorry to disturb you. But I must confirm your work," Dumbledore said mildly, sitting down beside him.
"I've done my job of being on guard, there's no way Blake can get in from here."
"Of course. As soon as I came in, I confirmed that. Dumbledore sensed his arrangement, "All I can say is remarkable, you're better than your father." ”
"He's a hero, and I'm not as good as him." Ivey understated
"He's a hero indeed," Dumbledore didn't say more
The scene fell silent. Dumbledore had no intention of leaving, and the two of them sat quietly and enjoyed the peace.
"Professor, have the search of the castle yielded any results?" Ivey breaks the silence
