"I must have been possessed by an evil spirit, or I wouldn't have been able to explain the fact that I spent a night in the library." On the way back to the dorm, Ron frantically complained about his behavior tonight.

"It's not one night, it's just over two hours." Hermione corrected his mistake. From the time of dinner until the library closes, it's not even as long as some movies.

"Say whatever you want, I've been studying all night anyway." Ron said that with him, it was a whole night of study.

The Lovers laughed and left the library, then parted ways with Faulcee at the stairs - she was heading to the underground Slytherin common room, while the Lovers were heading back to Gryffindor Tower.

The small talk of several people was not interrupted by the departure of Foxie, but became more and more enthusiastic.

"Love, which book were you reading before closing?" Harry asked. He caught a glimpse of Love looking at a book with a somewhat unfamiliar cover as he was packing his things, so he was a little curious.

"It's a textbook of potions, "Magic Potions and Potions", preview it in advance, so as not to be in a hurry when you get it, haven't you read it?" For a practical class like Potions, Love didn't put much energy into it during the summer vacation, he just went through both textbooks, and didn't put a lot of energy into practicing like Transfiguration.

Harry recalled, as if there was such a book, but he had slipped it into the corner of the box. He also went through the textbooks during the summer vacation, but in terms of potions, he mainly read "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms", and he never even opened "Magic Potions and Potions".

"Well," Ron sighed, "Potions class is going to be tough, Snape, I've heard Fred talk about it, and his reputation is not bad!" ”

Ron began to educate his friends about Snape's various manipulations of Gryffindor, including but not limited to verbal violence, finding ways to deduct points, and pulling the strings. These were all things he had heard from his brothers, his brothers who were born in Gryffindor and had been oppressed by Snape would not say good things about him in front of his younger brothers, and even Percy, a good and rigid student, would frown at the mention of Snape, which made Ron's impression of Snape tend to be infinitely worse.

Ron had saved Snape's face and didn't tell his friends that he had been a Death Eater.

Listening to Ron's description of Snape, the three of Love sighed in unison.

Hermione said in a confident voice, "Maybe it's just a rumor?" Anyway, you will know in the last lesson. ”

Although it was not yet curfew at eight o'clock in the evening, the castle was empty, and the young wizards were all in the common room of their academy. Even if there are very few couples who go out for a walk, they don't choose to hang out in the brightly lit main castle building, so there are only four people in the huge castle hall.

The sound of their chatter echoed through the empty hallway, making it seem even more silent. That is, the brightly lit environment dispelled the fear, otherwise it would be a proper horror film opening.

After about ten minutes of walking around the castle, Love frowned.

"Did we just come here?" He stopped, looking at the two pairs of armor not far away, the one on the left was humming in a low voice, the melody that Love had heard five minutes ago.

"Huh? Aren't you the one leading the way? Harry, beside Love, turned his head in surprise.

Ralph:?

"No, it's Hermione leading the way, isn't it?"

Hermione:???

"I—I thought Harry knew the ...... of the way," she was a little flustered.

Panic, but not much, after all, it is in the castle, how can you get lost?

The three of them stared at each other in embarrassment.

"So we're lost?" Ron, who had been following his friends, broke the embarrassment and poked out the facts.

Love nodded.

"It's okay, why don't we ask the portrait?" Hermione comforted everyone and came up with a solution to the problem.

A few people looked around and saw that there was only one painting nearby, and it was a very special portrait because it was not made of oil canvas, but heavy silk.

The portrait depicts a rabbit with a beautiful posture and a beautiful face, and at this time it is taking care of its jade-like warm hair, and its aura is scattered in every gesture, and it is not an ordinary rabbit at first glance.

"Well, it moves, but how does a rabbit tell us where the common room is?" Ron spread his hands and said that it would be better to look around a little more and find a reliable portrait of a humanoid, and it would be even better if they could find a ghost.

Most of the ghosts in Hogwarts Castle are "warm-hearted" and keen to show the way to lost students.

"Do you need help?" A crisp female voice rang out.

"Who?" Everyone was startled and searched everywhere for the source of the sound, and finally found that it was the portrait of the jade rabbit that spoke.

"You seem to be lost?" The Jade Rabbit squatted elegantly in the middle of the portrait and looked at Love and his party with interest.

"Yes, do you know where the Gryffindor common room goes?" Love stepped forward and asked it.

"Gryffindor lounge? I don't know, but I know that if you go straight to the right and go all the way to the end, you'll find someone who knows the way! ”

"Really? Thank you. After receiving the guidance, Love did not hesitate, and immediately led Harry and the others in the direction pointed by the Jade Rabbit. Curfew was getting closer, and they needed to get back to the Gryffindor common room as soon as possible. If they were caught scurrying around the castle by that pesky castlekeeper Filch, they wouldn't end well, and they would most likely end up in a dungeon or sent to Professor McGonagall.

Soon, they had a problem: a door blocked their way, and a very conspicuous lock hung from the door.

"Didn't that rabbit say that you can find someone to guide you when you go to the end? Now it's the end, what about people? Ron had a feeling that he had been tricked.

"Obviously, this isn't the end of the hallway, let's go—" Hermione lined up in front of herm, took out her wand, and knocked on the lock, "Alajo Cave open!" ”

The holiday efforts bore fruit at this point, and Hermione succeeded in opening the door that got in the way.

Behind the door was a dark rumbling, completely lightless space, and a few people walked in in the dark, a little unaccustomed for a while. It took about a few seconds for everyone to gradually see the scene behind the door. Then Harry, Ron, and Hermione held their breath in unison, their whole bodies frozen in place, their brains already overrun by fear, unable to give any commands.

Only Love is still in a normal state of mind. He said in a slightly surprised tone, "Lu Wei, why are you here?" ”
