"Ron, Dean and Seamus, are they asleep?"

At about half-past eleven in the evening, Harry suddenly sat up from his bed and whispered to Ron, who was sleeping on the bed next to him.

Not everyone can occupy a room by himself like Dudley, and Harry lives in a four-person room at Gryffindor.

Didn't Harry get into an argument with Malfoy again during the daytime flight lesson and chase him on a broomstick?

As a result, the two of them were in the air, and you chased me for most of the day without a winner, and finally died because Mrs. Huo Qi was unhealthy.

At the end of class, Malfoy viciously 'engaged' Harry at midnight in the prize showroom.

Because the agreed time was in the middle of the night, they went to bed early as soon as they finished dinner, just in time for Hermione to come back.

Harry didn't know about Hermione's situation in Gryffindor, and Hermione didn't even say anything about Dudley, so Harry didn't know about it.

As for his own observations...

You can't expect a big straight man like Harry to notice these details.

And he's been all over Malfoy lately, ahem, exactly how to kick Malfoy's ass with his boots.

The two secretly put on their clothes and made their way out of the dormitory in the dark, trying to get out of the lounge through the moonlight outside the window.

As a result, Ron was careless and accidentally bumped into the table next to the fireplace, making a noise.

"Who?"

A voice suddenly appeared in the silent room, both of which startled the two of them, and they thought that something strange had come out, and they almost hugged each other.

When the two finally came to their senses, they realized that it was Hermione.

"Hermione? How did you end up here? ”

Harry asked curiously.

Hermione didn't really want to go back to the dorm because of the events of the night, and Cowmike's words reminded her that she didn't know who did the morning thing, but someone must have done it. Originally, I wanted to lie on the sofa in the lounge and read a book, maybe it was too tired to play in the Forbidden Forest during the day, but in short, Hermione leaned on the sofa and fell asleep in a daze.

"Where are you going?"

When Hermione came to her senses, she didn't answer Harry first, but asked rhetorically.

She herself could say that she fell asleep too late reading a book, but what were Harry and Ron doing when they got up so late?

With the moonlight outside the window, I looked up and down and found that the two were not wearing pajamas.

"You want a night tour?"

Hermione saw through the intentions of the two and said in surprise, "I can't believe that you want to go out in the middle of the night?" ”

"Shhhh You keep quiet. ”

Ron was afraid that Hermione would wake up the others, so he hurriedly said.

Hermione ignored Ron and stared at Harry, "Don't you know that doing this will cost Gryffindor points?" Still want to give the House Cup to Slytherin? ”

"I can't let you do that."

Hermione stopped the two of them, blocking the way out with both hands, and even though she was isolated, she was still trying to protect the interests of her house, even if no one cared.

"You're breaking the school rules!"

Harry wouldn't have bothered if it had been someone else, the problem was Hermione... He had a good relationship with Hermione, and Hedwig was given to him by Hermione and Dudley. I also knew that Dudley and Hermione had a very close relationship, so close that even he was a little unhappy.

'It's my brother. ’

Of course, it's just a little bit of unhappiness.

Do you want to miss the appointment?

It doesn't seem like it's impossible, Malfoy can beat him at any time anyway.

So he faltered.

However, Ron's attitude at this time was extremely firm, and he retorted without showing weakness: "Didn't you also violate the school rules?" Don't think I don't know, I saw you skip class this afternoon. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hermione was instantly speechless, and the words full of words were stuck in her throat, it was indeed a fact that she skipped class this afternoon.

Although she can explain that even if she is discovered, she can add back the points she lost, but she can't be too double-standard.

You can't say I can, but you can't, right? That's so unconvincing.

Dudley had told her that you had to lead by example if you wanted to be convinced.

"Nothing to say, right? Then get out of the way and go back to sleep. ”

Seeing that Hermione didn't answer, Ron thought he had been asked, and pulled Harry to go out.

"Wait..."

Hermione's figure came again, "I'm going with you." ”

"What?" Harry felt as if he had misheard.

What's the situation? Hermione, who is usually afraid of breaking a little school rule and being deducted points, what's wrong with today?

Skipping class with Dudley in the afternoon and night out with them in the evening?

However, Harry was not able to go to the Oxford Dragons as an exchange student like Dudley because of his grades, so he didn't know that it was not the first time that Hermione had been taken by Dudley to skip class.

"I said I'd go with you."

Hermione sighed and pulled out her wand, "Dudley is right, as long as it's not a violation of school rules, as long as it's not discovered." ”

Seeing that the two of them did not react, they urged: "Let's go, the later the time, the greater the risk of being caught." ”

Ron and Harry looked at each other.

"Let's say first, you can follow us, but I won't take care of you when you go out, if you get caught, don't confess us."

Hermione replied, "I'll have more spells than you, just take care of yourself." ”

The prize room is located on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle, some distance from Gryffindor, but overall much closer than Slytherin in the basement.

The most important thing to pay attention to during the night tour is the dormitory caretaker Filch, an old man with a gloomy face who is always on his back, and treats young wizards especially harshly.

Once he finds out, the deduction of points is inevitable.

And, of course, there's a Peeves that could pop up at any moment.

This is a ghost who loves to play pranks and is particularly annoying.

Hermione was indeed worthy of what she said, and her spells were not of the same order of magnitude as Harry.

If it hadn't been for Hermione casting a simple little spell and avoiding the scouting of Filch, the dormitory administrator, and Lady Loris, Harry and Ron might have been caught not long after they left the house.

Avoiding 'Lady Loris' without any danger, the three of them walked briskly down the corridor, moonlight pouring in through the high windows, like silver bricks lying across the ground.

When I came to the third floor, I tiptoed open the door of the showroom, and there was no one inside.

"Looks like we're early."

Ron said as the first to walk in, saying as he went, "I'll laugh at Malfoy and them when they come over." ”

The three of them found a place to rest in the showroom, and waited quietly for Malfoy.

Minutes and seconds passed.

It was still quiet, not to mention Malfoy, not even a mouse.

I don't know how long it has been, but Ron finally showed an impatient look on his face, grabbed his hair hard, and said in annoyance: "Damn, I knew it would be like this, Malfoy and they won't come, Slytherin are cowards, I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”

"Harry, we've been tricked."

As Ron finished speaking, the door to the showroom was pushed open again.

"Who said I was a coward?"
