Chapter 306: The Third Attack
Hagrid asked them for a rare favor, and they didn't hesitate too much and agreed.
Fortunately, the Beast Expulsion Spell was just a simple spell, and although the work was huge, with the joint efforts of six people, it was finally completed in the evening.
They also received a thank you gift from Hagrid.
Cedric and Kyle get a handful of the Wicked Bird's feathers, the largest of the wings, which is perfect for a quill.
Connor and Autumn are a small bag for hair accessories and change, which is a little rough weaved, but the unicorn fur material is enough to make up for the lack of craftsmanship.
Of the six, only Fred and George returned empty-handed.
Cats are not so easy to come across, and it takes time.
Hagrid told Fred and George that they should go to the cottage again after Christmas and they would be able to meet the raccoon.
Whether Fred and George can gain the trust of the raccoon and bring them home is up to them.
After all, these fantastic creatures are very intelligent, and if they don't like it, they can always run away.
"I wish tomorrow was Christmas." On the way back to the castle, Fred said expectantly.
"What if the raccoon doesn't like us." George was a little nervous, and he turned his head to look at Cho and Connor. "Maybe it's nice to have a small bag, and Ginny will love it too."
"Why didn't you say it then!" Fred glanced at him.
"I just remembered ...... too"
The group made their way back to the castle laughing and laughing, and with some time before dinner, they decided to go to the Responsive House on the eighth floor first.
Ever since Kyle told them about the magical place, it had become a great place to pass the time.
It's just that they had just reached the third floor when a sharp voice came from the corridor on the left.
"Do it, do it! Let's do it again! Neither humans nor ghosts are immune! Run for your life! ”
The sound is extremely penetrating.
Kyle and the others glanced at each other, and they didn't care about anything else, so they hurriedly ran over.
In a dimly lit hallway, they meet Peeves yelling and two ghostly ghosts.
Nick, who was almost headless, and Barrow, the Bloody Man, were black, smoky, and lying flat on their backs suspended six inches above the ground.
Nick, who was almost headless, lost half of his head, and a look of horror froze on his face.
Harry stood between the two ghosts, watching them in alarm.
At the same time, more and more people flocked to the city, but surprisingly, no one approached the two ghosts and Harry, and everyone stood on either side of the hallway, looking at Harry in the middle with complicated expressions.
"I ...... It's not ......"
Harry felt his stomach freeze to ice, and he tried to explain, but the words that came out pale and weak.
At this time, someone suddenly broke the silence and asked:
"Harry, do you see who turned them into this?"
"I didn't see it." As if grasping at a lifesaver, Harry quickly explained, "That's how they were when I came, and then Peeves came, and he ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, you did it!"
Hufflepuff's McMillan squeezed out of the crowd, "Kyle, don't let him fool you, he's a parseltongue."
And at the Dueling Club, he once controlled a snake and tried to attack Justin Fenrieri.
And Justin just said that he was going to come to the third floor to pick up the book he had forgotten in the Transfiguration classroom. ”
"You must have eavesdropped on our conversation, right?" He looked at Harry and said, "It's a good thing I lent him my book, so you didn't get away with it!" ”
Behind McMillan, a curly-haired boy was looking at Harry in horror, his face pale, and he subconsciously leaned towards Kyle, as if he felt safe in this way.
"I'm not, I don't ......," Harry explained, "I've been in the library all afternoon, I haven't been anywhere, how can I eavesdrop on you!" ”
"All caught ...... red-handed"
"Enough, McMillan!" Professor McGonagall stepped out of the crowd and said sternly.
Professor Flitwick and Professor Sinista of Astronomy also arrived, and they stepped forward and bent down to check on the two ghosts.
Peeves kept floating above his head, looking very happy.
Ever since he saw Barrot the Bloody become like that, Peeves' smile hadn't closed, and he even made up a song.
"Oh, Potter, you nasty, look at the good things you've done.
You got the ghost and you thought it was weird......"
"Don't make a fuss, Peeves!" Professor McGonagall yelled.
Peeves stuck his tongue at Harry and ran to the other side to say hello to Kyle.
"Oh, Kyle Kid, you have to be careful not to get killed...... But it's not bad if you become a ghost. ”
"Peeves!" Professor McGonagall yelled again, and Peeves ran away merrily.
The two professors dispersed the crowd, and Professor McGonagall conjured a large fan and handed it to Kyle, asking him to help bring the nearly headless Nick and the bloody Barrow to the school hospital.
Kyle nodded, fanning the two ghosts down the stairs like balloons.
Professor McGonagall walked upstairs and said to Harry, "Follow me, Potter. ”
"Professor!" Harry hastened to say, "I swear I didn't ......"
"I can't handle this, Dumbledore wants to talk to you." Professor McGonagall replied briefly.
The voices of the two grew farther and farther away, and soon nothing could be heard.
Kyle led the two ghosts through the foyer and towards the school hospital.
Their return rate was too high, and everyone they met along the way stared at them curiously.
"Kyle, what are you doing here...... Oh, isn't that Gryffindor ghost? ”
In the courtyard, Kyle also meets Lockhart, who looks at Nick, who is almost headless, "They made themselves a new dress?" ”
"It's an attack, Professor." Kyle said, "Same as the first two times. ”
"Of course I know so, they must have fallen under some curse." Lockhart grinned, "I've seen ghosts like this in the vampire's castle, they angered the vampires and could only float on the ceiling like balloons.
However, with my persuasion, the vampires finally lifted their curse...... I just remember this mantra. ”
"That's great." Kyle didn't stop, and continued walking, "Then you can come with me to the school hospital, Professor McGonagall told me to get them there." ”
"Of course, that's fine, but I need to go back now and write back to my admirers."
Lockhart bared two rows of shiny teeth, "Please tell Madam Pomfrey to wait a little longer, and I'll go over and help her with this problem right away." ”
……
When they arrived at the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey couldn't do anything with the two ghosts, but asked Kyle to fan them into a corner and put them in a corner, and then surround them with a curtain.
As long as there is no wind, they will not run around.
Before leaving, Kyle casually said, "Professor Lockhart might be coming over later." ”
"What is he doing here?" Madam Pomfrey frowned.
"Said it was to help solve the problem of ghosts."
"Help?" Madam Pomfrey laughed angrily, "He can't even tell the difference between a sneeze and a double leaf clover, the ...... who can only make up stories, and doesn't know how to learn."
At this point, she suddenly realized that Kyle was also here, and quickly shut her mouth.
"Nothing...... Go back. ”
