Chapter 46: Judgment
Harry and Hermione witnessed Malfoy's capture, and they hid in the shadows nearby, waiting for Professor McGonagall to take Malfoy and continuing upwards, but luckily they didn't hit Filch.
Hermione was delighted to see Malfoy eating deflated. "I really want to sing a song to celebrate."
"No, we need to be quiet, but you can dance." Harry stopped her.
The little dragon is not very honest, and constantly bangs the box. Filch heard the voice, but she thought it was an owl pecking at the plank, not thinking that there was someone upstairs.
The Knicks remained motionless, feeling like time was passing slowly, and worried that the cry of hunger would allow Filch to find out where he was. After thinking about it, it was finally time to connect. There was movement upstairs, and someone was coming.
"When"
The sound of high heels slamming on the ground was evident in the quiet environment, and Knicks' heart was beating wildly, and he slowed down his breathing rate and was careful to hide. Thankfully, there was no risk, and Filch was patient.
A graceful figure slowly appeared in the air, she looked remorseful, she was too anxious just now, she couldn't help but move around, but she didn't move for so long, maybe there was no one around, her feeling was wrong.
After a while, Harry and Hermione laughed and saw Filch as if they had been immobilized.
The Knicks looked at the two and shook their heads, and came down without wearing an invisibility cloak, thinking that Filch was stupid and couldn't catch anyone? It occurred to him that the Cloak of Invisibility had been forgotten on it, and that he would be able to go up and put on the Cloak when Filch took someone away. If he succeeds, he can go back and avoid facing Voldemort.
Filch saw Harry and Hermione and smiled and said, "What a surprise." ”
The Knicks waited for Filch to take someone away, and as soon as he thought of it, he heard the sound of walking in high heels, and he could only hear the sound, not see the person.
He suppressed his excitement and could not afford to fall short, as long as Filch left, he could go back unharmed, and he could not fail at the last minute. But there was no sound of high heels leaving in the hallway. The Knicks wondered a little, is this left? Regardless of Harry and Hermione?
In fact, Filch was gone, she was invisible in front of Harry and Hermione, and at the same time used light body techniques, turning back to where the Knicks were hiding, she always felt that there was someone here, but unfortunately she couldn't find it. When leaving, she used the light body technique again to speed up, catching up with Harry and Hermione, she was afraid that she would be noticed by the two little ones after leaving for a long time, and she would run away without her watching.
The Knicks battled the air alone and waited patiently for the dawn. Didn't know Filch was gone.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Neville arrived with Professor McGonagall, pointed to the corner where the Knicks were hiding, and said, "The Malfoy we found here." ”
The Knicks held his breath and cursed in his heart: "Neville, you traitor, you can't escape Filch, and sure enough, the fortresses are breached from the inside." ”
Professor McGonagall spotted the Knicks and said, "How long are you going to hide Nick Lestrange?" ”
After waiting for a while, when he saw that Knick didn't move, his anger rose, and he said loudly: "Come out." ”
Nicks came out very reluctantly, and seeing Neville's surprised expression, the little fat man really didn't know that he was hiding here, it was purely his bad luck.
Taken to Professor McGonagall's office with Neville, Malfoy, Harry, and Hermione are all there. Hermione looked down and didn't know what she was thinking, Malfoy smirked, and Harry glared at Malfoy with an angry expression.
Filch was also there, her expression smiling, and the corners of her mouth curled even more as she watched Knicks get caught. I thought that the little bastard couldn't hide from the first year of junior high but couldn't hide from fifteen, I couldn't catch you, and the professor would catch you too.
The moment Knicks saw Filch, he regretted it even more, she was here to show that there was no one around before he was arrested, as long as he was bold enough to go upstairs and get the invisibility cloak, he could avoid deducting points and being confined.
Neville saw Harry and exclaimed, "Harry, did you make it?" We went to stop Malfoy, but then we lost ......."
The Knicks covered Neville's mouth and let him continue, revealing it all.
Professor McGonagall angrily said, "Wandering around the castle in the middle of the night, Hermione Granger, tell me what you're doing?" ”
Without waiting for Hermione to speak, Neville immediately said, "It's Malfoy, he said he was going to capture Harry, and he said he couldn't let Harry take the dragon away......"
Professor McGonagall looked at a few of them, and after a moment said, "Is it a lie you want to trick Draco Malfoy into making up, do you think it's funny?" Unexpectedly, Neville Longbottom and Knick Lestrange both believed it. ”
Nicks looked at Professor McGonagall with his mouth open, did he really not know the truth, or did he help cover it up?
"I'm disappointed that five people were wandering around the night, and four were Gryffindors, Mr. Potter, I thought you valued Gryffindor honor; Miss Granger, I thought you were clear-headed; And you, Mr. Longbottom, you can't go out at will anyway, you're all going to be locked up, and Gryffindor will deduct fifty points. Professor McGonagall added at the end. Everyone. ”
The Knicks were waiting for Professor McGonagall's evaluation, and the rest of Gryffindor had it, and it was gone when he arrived. He raised his hand and asked, "Professor, you have all commented on them, why not me." ”
Professor McGonagall was stunned, her emotions were interrupted, and she also came to the door to ask to be humiliated, and then realized that the Knicks should be proud rather than ashamed.
She taught, "Nicks Lestrange, I didn't praise them. And even if you are taught, you will not repent, as the Lestrange family always is, you can be wrong, you can be punished, but you will never change. ”
The Knicks are satisfied, whether it is praise or not, they always have an evaluation, otherwise they seem to be inferior to the three of them.
"Thank you, Professor. And Draco Malfoy, you haven't learned that yet. "He achieved his goal of starting to transfer.
Malfoy was looking at Harry and the others proudly, and when he heard the Knicks' words, he raised his head and waited for praise, he made a great contribution tonight, catching Harry's night trip.
Professor McGonagall didn't want to get entangled with the Knicks, who had seen a lot of them, and the best thing to do was to give him a lot of schoolwork, so that he didn't have time to think about what he didn't have.
"Mr. Draco Malfoy, Slytherin deducts fifty points, and you have to be locked up together."
"Professor, I'm going to be locked up too?" Malfoy was stunned, this was not what he thought.
Professor McGonagall replied, "Yes, Mr. Malfoy, you are also wandering around at night. ”
Harry began to chuckle.
Knicks shook his head, Harry's happiness is too unpretentious, if others are not happy, you will be happy, and it is good to die at a loss of one for four.
"All right, gentlemen, you need to go back and rest, Filch will keep an eye on you. Don't walk around. ”
A few days later, at breakfast, the Knicks received a note from Professor McGonagall about the time and location of his confinement, and at eleven o'clock in the evening, he was in the foyer looking for Filch.
I still have to go to the Forbidden Forest.
