Under Maple's bad taste, or simply trying to be lazy, he didn't change this part of history.

So, as always, although Malfoy calculated well, he just didn't expect Harry to have an invisibility cloak. The thief wanted to get dirty, and instead of catching Harry on the spot, he put himself inside.

"Malfoy is going to be locked up! I really want to sing! Under the cloak of invisibility, even Hermione, who usually looks like a good student, couldn't help but cheer when she saw Professor McGonagall grabbing Malfoy's ear and punishing him.

Then the journey to the tower in the cloak of invisibility was also uneventful, Malfoy was confined and Norber was sent away.

One trouble is gone, another trouble is unlucky, what could be happier than that!

But maybe it's too excited, and then it's joyful and sad. The two of them were covered in an invisibility cloak, perhaps it was too stuffy, and on the tower they took off the invisibility cloak, and after sending the little dragon away, they forgot to take the invisibility cloak.

So Malfoy, who originally felt that he was unlucky, instantly felt that time was running again, and Malfoy, who was originally depressed because he was going to be confined, instantly felt comfortable. It wasn't that I was too incompetent, but that the enemy was too cunning, and they must have gone to the tower in advance, knowing that Professor McGonagall should have been brought to the tower.

However, although Xiaolong was sent away by them, the two of them, together with Neville, who was following Malfoy, and the three students of Gryffindor were confined, and they were each deducted 100 points by the angry Professor McGonagall, although they were a little worse than Harry and they were expelled, but it also allowed Malfoy to talk about **.

Unlike Maple's heartless one, the other Gryffindor students still care a lot about house honors.

It's more uncomfortable to see hope and then fall to the bottom than to see hope, and Harry's brilliant performance in Quidditch gave Gryffindor hope of beating Slytherin this year, but Harry has now shattered the dream with his own hands.

So when they learned that Harry and the two stupid first-year students had lost one hundred and fifty points to Gryffindor, they were so angry that they invariably took an isolated approach to an eleven-year-old child, and people pointed at him wherever he went, and he didn't keep his voice down when he said something insulting to him. Let Harry and the others suddenly become rats crossing the street, and Harry, who was the most famous before, has also become the target of public criticism.

The higher you stand, the worse you fall, and that's it. But this is the dark side of the human heart, standing on a high place to enjoy the attention of the people, but also by countless people, because why not me standing there? What's more, Harry's fame has an element of luck in it.

The so-called higher you stand, the worse you fall, rather, the higher you stand, the harder you are stepped on when you fall.

At the same time, the little snakes of Slytherin did not forget to fall into the ground, and whenever he walked past the Slytherins, they always applauded, whistled, and cheered—

"Thank you, Potter, for doing us a great favor!"

Even Harry's favorite Quidditch lost its original fun, and during training, the rest of the team did not speak to him, except for Wood, who was the captain, and the Weasley brothers, who called him "The Seeker" if they had to mention him.

Luckily, there was Ron and Maple on their side.

Hermione and Neville were also miserable, except that their lives weren't as difficult as Harry's, because they weren't as famous as him, but no one wanted to talk to them anymore.

The indifference and undisguised disgust in the crowd didn't stop after teaching Harry and the three of them enough lessons, and Maple felt it was too much. Hermione, who had always had a strong self-esteem, must have been hurt, but Hermione, who thought it was her fault, suppressed her pain because she thought they deserved it. Silently review his homework and no longer show up, so as not to obstruct the eyes of others, but the bitterness and sadness in his heart can only be endured silently by himself.

On this day, Hermione was studying alone in the dormitory, and the other roommates avoided her. Suddenly, she heard the window clatter, and when she looked up, she saw that it was not the owl delivering the letter, but—

A purple bat that Hermione was very familiar with.

Now that a week had passed, Maple felt that their punishment was enough, so she came over to comfort Hermione.

"Ah, Maple!" Hermione immediately let Maple in, then hurriedly looked around and was relieved to see that there was no one.

Maple had a talisman in his mouth, which was the same psychic talisman as before.

It was too difficult for the bat to write, but it was probably going to be punished by Rowena Ravenclaw to change back into its original form, so he took a psychic talisman in his mouth and mentally communicated with Hermione.

"Maple, thank you for coming to see me, I'm very happy to have you come and accompany me." Hermione said happily.

"Do you feel that everything is your fault, you just deserve it, and you deserve to be disliked by everyone?"

"Me?" Hermione didn't know what to say.

"If you go back to the beginning and give you a chance to choose again, will you still break the school rules?" Maple asked.

"I, I think I will." Hermione seemed to understand what Maple was trying to say.

"Yes, even if you know that there may be consequences now, even if you don't have the Cloak of Invisibility, I believe you will still make this choice."

"It's not recklessness, it's not risk-taking, it's responsibility and obligation. Because you don't want Hagrid to be taken into custody and imprisoned in Azkaban than you are to be imprisoned, because Hagrid is our friend. Hagrid's safety is more important to us than a mere 150 points, isn't it? ”

"Not bad, but"

"Yes, if it weren't for those 150 points, you would have been right from beginning to end. The reason for the deduction is not that you should have done something wrong about whether you should have violated the school rules, but because of your carelessness, you got carried away and forgot to wear the invisibility cloak. ”

"Thank you, Maple, I think I get it!" Hermione's mood instantly brightened, as if she had suddenly lifted the burden of her heart.

"Oh, by the way, Harry's cloak of invisibility, did you get it for him?" Hermione suddenly thought of this, and asked.

"No, Harry's invisibility cloak had already been taken away by the time I went." Seeing Hermione's look of shame, Maple said, "Don't worry, I think he will return the Cloak of Invisibility to Harry, after all, the Cloak of Invisibility was given to Harry in the first place." ”

"Ah, do you know who gave it to Harry?" Hermione said in surprise.

"Guess what, the only people who knew you were going to the tower that night were you and me, Ron, Harry, Hagrid, and Malfoy, but Malfoy didn't know that Harry had an invisibility cloak, and Hagrid wasn't so attentive. Who else in this school could have known that you had been to the Tower that night and that Harry had the Cloak of Invisibility? ”

"Ah, Professor Dumbledore!"

"Yes, he's the only one who can get it from Harry's parents and give it back to Harry, if he gives it to me, maybe I'll ask if anyone knows that this invisibility cloak is Harry's father, and if no one else has it, I'll take it for myself!"

"No, you won't!" Hermione laughed.

"Well, what are you talking about, you still don't have the Weasley brothers, they have humor!" Maple sighed.

"I'm sorry they didn't come with you!"

"Okay, don't bother you to review and don't take the first exam of the year, I'll be disappointed in you!"

"I'll definitely show you the first one!"

"Goodbye, Hermione!"

"Goodbye, Maple, thank you!"

Now, it's your turn, Neville!

"Neville, come with me!" After finding Neville, he dragged Neville away regardless of whether Neville agreed or not.

Drag Neville to the Room of Requirement and turn it into a place to practice flying.

"Neville, did you recognize your mistake?"

"I shouldn't have come out in the middle of the night and get Gryffindor points deducted!" Neville bowed his head and said weakly.

"Answer incorrectly, re-answer!" Maple said.

Hearing Maple's words, Neville couldn't help but look up in surprise.

"You heard Malfoy say that you were going to get Harry, and you wanted to remind your friends that there was something wrong with that. If you don't do anything, I'll be disappointed.

Remember what is the most important quality of Gryffindor? ”

"Courage!" Neville was less nervous and spoke much more fluently.

"Yes, courage! You have undoubtedly proved it with your actions, you are a brave man, the Sorting Hat was not wrong, you belong to Gryffindor! ”

"But you've made a mistake, a big mistake! Your fault is incompetence, you were caught before you could deliver the news to Harry! You're a wizard, but you're not showing what a wizard is like. ”

"If you're a capable wizard, you can use your wand to knock Malfoy down, knock Malfoy unconscious, and see how he catches Harry!" Neville bowed his head in shame again.

"So instead of blaming yourself, you have to work on improving your magical abilities, at least beyond Malfoy's, so that you can help your friends!" Maple said.

"I, I'm afraid I can't do it!" Neville said again with some deflatedness.

"No, you can do it. Think about it, are you unable to do it, or do you feel like you can't? ”

"Is there a difference?" Neville asked.

"Of course there is, the former is a matter of talent, the latter is a matter of yourself. I don't know what happened to you as a child, but it's clear that something big has happened. It has created a huge shadow in your heart, and you are afraid that you will have low self-esteem, because you have not yet shaken off that shadow. ”

"Neville, the two of us are very similar. I suppressed my magic and became a silent one, and you couldn't feel the magic for a long time, and almost became a squib! ”

Maple pulls out the Psychic Talisman and connects with Neville's spirit.

"Embrace my spirit, Neville!"

When Neville agrees, Maple begins to take the initiative to recall his victory over Murmur and show Neville the memory.

"I conquered my fear of magic, I defeated Silent, and now, Neville, it's your turn, summon your courage and don't be defeated by the shadow in your heart!"
