Chapter 377: The Chase in the Castle

Because they had been in the Room of Requirement for too long, after being reminded by Cho and Connor, several people hurriedly walked in the direction of the auditorium.

"I can't believe we missed the Halloween party."

Fred walked quickly to the front, "Pumpkin pie" as he went...... Tonkatsu ...... Kebab patty ......"

"Shut up, Fred." George, who followed him, said dissatisfiedly, "I wasn't hungry at all just now, but now I only think I can eat a cow." ”

The group quickened their pace again, and soon came to the end of the corridor.

Just turn this corner and walk a short distance to the staircase, and then follow the staircase all the way down to the auditorium.

At this time, Fred, who was the first to leave the corridor at the front, suddenly stopped and asked, "Wait, is the dinner party over?" ”

"How can it be...... "It's only ten minutes before the feast starts, and it's still too early for it to end, so you're not too hungry." ”

"Then why has someone already returned?" Fred asked, pointing ahead.

"What?"

The others hurried around the corner, then turned their heads and looked in the direction of his finger.

Not far away is the staircase, and beyond that, a dark figure stands in front of a large portrait.

The light was a little dim, and they didn't see the figure clearly, but they knew the painting.

The portrait of the Fat Lady is also the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.

"It's weird, who is this?" George subconsciously said, "He's full in just ten minutes......"

Before he could finish his sentence, the fat lady in the portrait let out a loud scream that almost pierced the eardrums.

"You're that Sirius Blig......"

"Shhhh

The figure raised its hand and tore at the portrait of the fat lady like crazy.

"Let me in...... He's in there...... Let me in! ”

His voice was strange, hoarse and dull, as if squeezed out of his throat, sounding more like the low roar of some kind of animal.

"What did the fat lady just say...... Is he Sirius Black? ”

Fred seemed to have just reacted, but his movements were not slow, and he drew his wand as soon as possible.

"Apparently yes." Cedric did the same, staring at the dark figure in front of him as if he were on the verge of an enemy.

The other party also sensed the movement here and turned around suddenly.

A beam of light shone on his face......

Filthy hair fell to the elbows, eye sockets were sunken, and sallow white skin was tight on the cheekbones, making it look like a skeleton covered in a layer of skin.

"It's Blake!" Fred was even more nervous, "He's exactly like the portrait in the Daily Prophet." ”

Upon hearing his words, Blake grinned like a beast about to go berserk.

"Faint!"

"Hurry up and be imprisoned!"

"It's all petrified!"

……

Without the slightest hesitation, Cedric and the others used their best spells at the same time.

Five rays of light of different colors flew straight towards Blake.

But the other side reacted just as quickly.

By the time a few people chanted the spell, Blake was already lying on all fours, and with a strange movement, he nimbly avoided all the spells.

Then, still in this posture of using his hands and feet, he quickly fled from the other side of the hallway.

"Can't let Blake run away, he must not have a wand yet!" Fred yelled, and when he tried to catch up, he found that one man was faster than him.

"I'll chase after you, you go to the auditorium and inform the professor!"

Kyle said without looking back, "I've dealt with the dark wizard Oron in my first year, and I have ...... experience."

I don't know if I'm in a hurry, but Kyle knocked down a pair of armor when he ran out, just in front of Fred.

By the time Fred looked up again, Kyle had disappeared on the other side of the hallway.

"Wait, you're too dangerous to be alone......" Fred shouted.

But Kyle didn't stop.

After leaving the hallway, and passing through a few more hallways, he quickly saw Blake.

The other party lifted a tapestry with a fire dragon depicted on it, and was about to drill into the passage behind.

"Stop!"

Kyle throws a spell that explodes in Black's ear.

He originally wanted to use this way to force Blake to stop and talk to him about something, but the other party turned a deaf ear to the imminent spell, not only did not mean to stop, but sped up and burrowed into the passage, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It's a shortcut to the fourth floor, and the exit is in an empty classroom.

This time Kyle didn't chase after him, just glanced through the passage.

Blake was obviously a little nervous, and just wanted to get out of the castle as soon as possible, and he probably wouldn't be able to listen to anything he said at this time.

And it's a bit of a waste of time to explain, maybe someone else will come over before the words are spoken.

"Kyle ......"

Say what you say, come out of what.

As soon as Kyle put down the tapestry, Fred, George, Cedric, and Connor came running out of breath.

"Why are you all here?" Kyle turned his head and asked, "Why don't you go to the auditorium and inform the professor." ”

"What stupid are you talking about...... How could we possibly leave you alone to deal with Blake. George dissatisfied.

"Autumn has already gone to the auditorium." Cedric said.

"You ran too fast just now, and we asked Peeves to find your location...... What about Blake......"

"How are you?" Connor nervously stepped forward and asked, "Isn't it hurt?" ”

"Nope." Kyle said, "But Blake ran and I didn't catch up." ”

"Even you didn't catch up?" Fred was surprised.

To be honest, they had only thought about whether Kyle would be in danger when he faced Blake alone, but they never thought that he would be lost.

Kyle has been working on Hogwarts maps for four years in a row, and knows every road in the castle inside and out.

Is Blake so godly...... Is this all running away?

"No way...... Kyle shrugged, "he seems to be familiar with the castle and always finds the best escape route, and he disappeared when I chased him around." ”

"Oh yes, Blake is also a Hogwarts graduate." Something suddenly occurred to George: "I remember the Daily Prophet saying that he was also a Gryffindor and must be familiar with the eighth floor. ”

Fred stumbled upon the tapestry with the dragon next to him, and said thoughtfully, "You say, is it possible that he came from ......?"

"So you're all here......"

A familiar voice came from behind him, interrupting what Fred was about to say.

The crowd turned around.

Professor Dumbledore was standing a short distance behind them, and no one noticed how he appeared, as if he had been there.
