Chapter Twenty-Four: Slowly Growing Prestige A restless heart

"I can do it all." Hermione didn't care, anyway, this was Louis's request, so just say yes.

"Okay, you wait, I'll go call the two of them."

As Louis spoke, he went to call Harry and Ron, and explained the purpose of calling them over, Ron didn't plan to come, but under Harry's persuasion, the two followed Louis to Hermione.

"Alright, then ......"

Just as Louis was about to mediate the conflict between the three of them, a voice suddenly interrupted him, and he turned his head to look.

"Louis!"

It was Seamus, who looked like he had just returned from outside the break room.

And Seamus stopped Louis at the first sight: "So it's great that you're here, Professor McGonagall told you to go to his office." ”

"Okay, I got it." Louis responded.

Then he looked at the three people in front of him in distress, this is troublesome, the teacher has something to look for him, but he just called the three people who have contradictions together.

"Luis, you go, I'll mediate here." Harry said to Louis at this point.

"Hmm...... Okay, that's all for now. Then Louis pulled Harry aside and reminded, "Harry, I don't ask them to reconcile once they meet, but at least they can't quarrel, can it be done?" ”

"Of course!"

Harry's look was not very simple, which made Louis a little uneasy, and was about to remind him, but he heard Harry say:

"Okay, I know what you mean, Luis, don't worry, no problem!"

"Then I'll leave it to you." After saying that, Louis went to Hermione's side again and whispered to her, "Try not to quarrel, it's really not good, just wait for me to come back." ”

"Don't worry, you can go." Hermione gave Louis a look of no problem.

Louis originally wanted to talk to Ron, but when he saw Ron's look and attitude of writing the words "I don't want to pay attention to you" on his face, he also gave up the idea of chatting.

After exiting the common room, he made his way to Professor McGonagall's office.

Before coming to Professor McGonagall's office, Louis knocked on the door, "Teacher, I'm here." ”

"Come in!"

Walking through the door, Louis found another person at Professor McGonagall's desk, with red hair, whom he had seen.

"Percy, this is Louis, I think you should know him." Professor McGonagall explained.

Percy nodded, smiled, shook Louis' hand and said, "Yes, I remember him, he and my brother are friends." ”

"Hello." Louis held out his hand, "Ron and I told you about you. "As he said before, he doesn't want to talk to me now," Louis added inwardly.

"Now that you've all met, I'm going to give you a mission. Luis, is there a problem? Professor McGonagall said, asking Louis in point.

"It depends on the task, teacher." Louis rolled his eyes and said without a drop of water.

Percy felt that Louis was a little disrespectful to Professor McGonagall, but after seeing Professor McGonagall's indifference, he increased Louis's importance a lot.

"Check out the entire Gryffindor Halloween dress-up." Professor McGonagall looked at Louis and smiled, "Don't tell me you can't do this. ”

"Of course not, I promise to complete the mission!" As he spoke, Louis put his right index and middle fingers together and bent them slightly at the corner of his forehead, swiped forward slightly, and then walked out of the office.

Percy saw this and said, "Professor McGonagall, then I'll go too." ”

Professor McGonagall nodded, and then, as if remembering something, reminded solemnly, "Louis is still young, you are a prefect, pay more attention." Hearing Professor McGonagall's reminder, Percy hurriedly responded.

When he left Professor McGonagall's office, he looked at the boy who was waiting for him outside with a very complicated expression, and made up his mind that he must have a good relationship with him.

It was the first time he had seen Professor McGonagall be so partial to a student that she not only had Louis participate in the Gryffindon Halloween costume check at the end, but also called him over to give Louis a cover.

Normally, it's a good one in the fourth grade, and that's how he was taken last year.

However, there is no written rule for this, so it is nothing to choose a first-year student, let alone the dean's decision.

Tsk, the preference within the rules, he was sour.

"Let's go, Louis, we're going to be busy all afternoon."

Percy then took Louis to various places in Gryffindor to set up the costume, in fact, it was already done yesterday, and it was checked in the afternoon.

It's just that Louis only feels very bitter, and in his eyes, this is Professor McGonagall as a tool.

He was taken around by Percy for an afternoon, and the only advantage was that he recognized everyone in Gryffindor under Percy's leadership, and recognized all the roads.

Other than that, Louis didn't feel like he had anything else to gain, and he was still concerned about things between Hermione, Harry, and Ron while he was wandering around.

How's they talking?

It's just that Louis didn't notice that the entire Gryffindor students looked at him with some inexplicable emotion.

After all, under normal circumstances, the one next to the prefect is the prefect of the coming year, but this time it was a first-year Louis, Percy arranged? Impossible, if he could do this, wouldn't he have arranged it for his brother earlier? Then there is only one possibility, which Professor McGonagall arranged.

The purpose should be to increase Louis's prestige, and it is estimated that in a few years, he should be the prefect of Gryffindor.

Walking around this circle, the older kids, who still can't guess what Professor McGonagall thinks.

And children of the same age also think it's normal to see that Louis was assigned such a task by Professor McGonagall, after all, no one in Hogwarts knows about the Granger siblings last time.

Louis's prestige also grew invisibly and slowly.

The afternoon passed quickly, the sky began to darken, and a full moon appeared in the starry sky.

Louis also planned to find an excuse to slip away, after all, the Halloween banquet was about to begin, and he planned to go to Hermione to eat and drink together.

However, when he passed by Neville, he found Neville squirming, as if he wanted to tell him something.

Louis said hello to Percy and walked over to Neville.

"Neville, what's wrong with you? Are you trying to say something? Louis asked softly, trying to make Neville relax and not be so nervous.

"Road...... Louis, I forgot to bring something with me, and when I went back to the break room to get it, I seemed to see Hermione running out of the break room crying. Don't know what's going on, I feel like you don't know yet, so ......"

Neville said, gradually noticing that Louis's brow was tightly knit, and an invisible air pressure seemed to slowly appear around him, and he was a little speechless by the low air pressure.

"Do you know where Hermione went?" Louis asked in a deep voice.

Neville shook his head.

"Do any of you know where my sister Hermione has gone? How is she doing now? Does anyone of you know? ”

Louis asked aloud in the ballroom.

He didn't know where Hermione had gone, and he wasn't sure that Hermione was in the women's bathroom like in the original book, after all, his butterfly could change a lot of things.

But there seemed to be no one in the auditorium to answer him.

At this time, the professors all came over and sat down in their upper seats, and Professor McGonagall, of course, noticed Louis's commotion, and came to Louis's side after signaling to Dumbledore.

"Luis, what's going on?"

"Teacher, I heard Neville say Hermione was crying, but I don't know where Hermione is!" Louis said a little anxiously, he was afraid that something like the original book would happen.

"Oh, don't worry, Hermione is a strong kid, she should be here in a moment, don't worry, now you should go to your seat and do it."

Professor McGonagall persuaded that it sounded like a fight between classmates, and that it might have gone too far, causing Miss Granger to cry, but since she hadn't come to her, it shouldn't be too much of a deal, and it was time for the feast to begin.

Louis was appeased, but he kept praying in his heart that Professor Quirrell would not make trouble later.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked at the teacher's desk again, and there was no Quirrell there. Louis was very uneasy.

Professor McGonagall brought Louis to his seat and sat it down, then returned to the stage to take a seat, and Dumbledore announced that the feast had begun.

Watching the people around him eat and drink, but Louis was not in the mood, he wanted to leave to find Hermione, but Professor McGonagall's eyes would be on this side from time to time, which made him unable to leave.

At this time, Nick, who was almost headless, suddenly passed through his body, making Louis instantly feel a cold feeling.

It was a bad feeling, which made Louis, who was in a bad mood, even more irritable.

When Louis wanted to question why Nick, who was almost headless, did this, Nick, who was almost headless, said in front of him:

"I heard you're looking for a little girl?"

Hearing this, Louis's irritable expression disappeared in an instant, and he immediately asked politely and quickly:

"Yes, Sir Nicholas of Mimsey, do you know where she is?"

"Oh! I love it when you call me that! I saw your previous behavior and inquired about you in the ghost, she seemed to be crying sadly in the women's bathroom, I think you can look for it. ”

Lady!

Luis instantly thought of the twelve-foot-tall troll! The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.

At that moment, Professor Quirrell burst in, attracting everyone's attention, and at the same time, Louis's heart was lifted for a moment, and he wished to hear something different from the original book from Professor Quirrell's mouth.

"Trolls...... In the basement classroom...... Thought you should know. ”

In an instant, the entire banquet hall was in chaos.
