Chapter 758: The Big Bad Wolf and the Little Lamb
Hermione had always believed that every decision she made was well thought out, so she rarely regretted her decision.
For example, when she was in the third grade, she was so busy every day that she almost collapsed, and she never regretted choosing all the courses.
But today she regretted it, and she wanted to beat her head when she mentioned it.
"Did you really see Hogwarts a thousand years ago?" She glared at Harry. "And you took a class?"
"yes." Harry, who was talking to Ron, casually replied, "To be exact, I've only been in class for ten minutes, and I don't understand what he's saying. ”
Then he went on to say to Ron, "You know what? The Fat Lady wasn't there in the first place, there was a portrait of a knight hanging there. ”
Hogwarts plates, which house-elves use to carry food from the kitchen to their corresponding Great Hall tables.
After all, ten minutes ago, Kyle didn't even know that he would be locked up here and couldn't get out, how did the house-elves know.
And more importantly, how do house-elves know to bring them dinner.
It's not the sound of students frolicking, it's the sound of roars and spell explosions!
There was no food in the Responsive House, and even Rowena Ravenclaw couldn't break the Law of Gamp's Transfiguration.
As he gets closer, Kyle's expression grows stranger and stranger.
That's the good news.
And it's not fixed in the auditorium, Kyle can take it anywhere, which saves a lot of time.
"Greyback loves to bite underage wizards the most. Turn them into werewolves. Cedric said a little nervously, "Be careful Kyle, don't be careless, Greyback is not so easy to deal with, the Ministry of Magic has been holding him for many years, but he has run away." ”
"Look who's coming, a little lamb ......" Kyle's words were interrupted by a roar.
If I had known, I wouldn't have let them come.
But how could there be real food in Ravenclaw's memory?
He picked up the sandwich and took a bite.
On the ground, a multi-flavored bean that I don't know who dropped it floated into the air and turned into a spear about five feet long.
Until a certain day.
What a great opportunity, I just missed it!
With this in mind, Kyle didn't stay in the auditorium, but went back to the common room, ready for a good night's rest.
"No, you don't." Kyle hurriedly stopped her, "Professor McGonagall didn't know there was such a place in the school, she shouldn't be able to help much, and I don't need it for now." ”
"I'll go get to Professor McGonagall for you."
Almost in the blink of an eye, everything around him vanished, and Kyle felt as if he was in an immensely empty place.
"I didn't even know what to do." She frowned slightly, "If Professor McGonagall can't help, the other professors won't be able to get you out of it!" ”
"What about Dumbledore?" Kyle asked.
"I'm here with Mr. Weasley." Cedric snapped up, "He told me that the Death Eaters might attack Hogwarts tonight. ”
I really can't hold it anymore, so I use a pick-me-up potion, or a revival potion given by Connor.
"I'm fine." Hermione took a deep breath and slammed down another large glass of chilled pumpkin juice.
"Cedric?" Kyle was also a little confused, he just thought that person was very familiar, but he didn't expect it to be Cedric.
Just as he hesitated to go into the box to hide, with a sudden tugging sensation, the scene in front of him changed again.
"Don't you run away? I still know I can't run. Greyback approached the two of them.
Then there is the library, the staircase, the auditorium......
"Of course." Connor said, "He received a letter at dinner and left in a hurry, and almost everyone saw it...... But you certainly don't see it. ”
"Why are you here?"
Greyback let out an angry roar, feeling the sharp pain in his shoulder, and the feeling that his bones were about to be shattered, and he suddenly realized that the student he had met did not seem to be a lamb to knead at will.
At this moment, Kyle suddenly thought of something, and jerked his head up to look at the others in the auditorium.
Or maybe he's the lamb.
A week? Fortnight? Or longer.
But now was clearly not the time to think about it, and Kyle didn't stop there, turning and running in the direction the voice came from.
"Of course those pieces of garbage can't catch me!" Greyback let out a roar and lunged at the two of them.
But in the next second, he flew upside down at a faster speed, slamming into the wall.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting energetically over a painting, Hermione suddenly felt even more annoyed.
During this time, the colors of the people around him became lighter and lighter, and Kyle did not choose to combine work and rest anymore, but took all the time to travel back and forth between different classrooms.
Kyle subconsciously walked over.
It's as if someone took an eraser and erased it.
In fact, he had already prepared the second spell when the spear flew past.
Kyle has an awkward encounter and he can't get out.
In the meantime, the Death Eaters have already entered through the Vanishing Locker.
At the same time, the eighth floor.
"Wait." Kyle stretched out his hand and pointed at himself with some confusion, "The little lamb you just talked about, is it me?" ”
The touch of bread comes from your fingers.
He opened his box, and a dark shadow burst out of it, so fast that Cedric didn't even see what it was.
"I still have a little experience in dealing with werewolves." Kyle said with a smile.
There was no time to think about it, and Kyle immediately took out his wand and swung it violently.
"No, it won't!" Kyle chuckled inwardly.
He appeared in the familiar hallway, with a blank wall in front of him and a tapestry of trolls dancing behind him.
"Nothing." Hermione shook her head and stopped talking, just staring blankly at the plate in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.
If that's the case, then it's worth saving some time.
Nails scratch the floor with a screeching sound.
He first discovered this when he noticed it a few days ago in the Charms classroom, where he noticed that Old Professor Lagor's bald head was not as bright as it used to be.
"Hermione, what's wrong with you?" Ron finally noticed something was wrong with her and asked out loud.
He has small pupils and wolf-like fangs when he speaks.
Then, before Kyle could react, the castle began to disappear little by little.
"That's right." Greyback licked his lips and his gaze fell on Kyle's school uniform, "Only wizard students who haven't graduated can be considered fresh lambs, I miss the feeling of teeth biting into their bodies so much." ”
"Is this the reason for this?" Kyle thought to himself, picking up the plate and looking at it in front of him for a moment.
I don't know if it's a delusion, but after knowing that there is no need to worry about the food here, Kyle always feels a little more schadenfreude on Connor's face.
Now it's in another Hogwarts auditorium, and Kyle doesn't remember how it came to be.
"You ......"
I don't know if the cold drink did the trick, but Hermione suddenly thought of something.
When Kyle, who had just finished taking notes, looked up again, the entire classroom was gone.
Now it is certain that this dinner is indeed real, and it is not something that is remembered.
As for the question of water...... Both the Golden Cup and the Clear Water Spring spell can be solved.
He attends sixteen hours of class almost every day, and half of the rest of the time is in the library.
Kyle muttered, but just as he turned to look elsewhere, he stumbled upon a prominent gold plate in the auditorium.
The instincts of the beast are often the most accurate, and Greyback, who has survived death many times, is especially convinced of this.
After all, he had a lot of warthog legs prepared in advance, as well as herds of Tebo warthogs and ordinary livestock, as well as fish in the lake...... This is when he was bored some time ago, he asked Hagrid to get it for him.
"I thought I wouldn't meet those tender and delicious little lambs today, but I didn't expect you to deliver them to the door, it's a pity, it's not a full moon today."
An invisible rope dragged the man on the ground and helped him dodge the attack.
Then he saw a man covered in long brown hair leaping high, stretching out his claw-sharp nails, and pounced on a man who had fallen to the ground.
If she had said yes, she would now not only be able to hear about those valuable lessons, but she would also be able to see what the original library was like.
After that, he stayed in the Room of Need.
So, Kyle doesn't have to think about food for the time being, although there is no seasoning, the taste is definitely not good, but it can still fill his stomach.
"Someone is bringing this." Kyle held the golden plate up to the two-way mirror and shook it, "Someone must have remodeled it, and now the food from the kitchen can be delivered directly to here." ”
Kyle was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous.
He had tried before, and the house-elves couldn't bring food here, but now he could, and the only change in the meantime was this plate.
"How do you know? The timing is so accurate. ”
It's true?
But Kyle was even more puzzled, the key had always been in his possession, how did the house-elves bring the food here.
In this case, Kyle ...... Well, he'll hold out for a long time.
"You think you'll be able to run away?" Kyle suddenly hears a beast-like, hoarse growl.
Kyle waved his wand again, and the spear instantly came to Greyback, and although he had dodged as best he could, it was still stuck in the shoulder.
Kyle went outside again, but there was no one in either the library or the auditorium, and it was quiet.
Now, Connor believed it.
He wanted to run.
He picked up speed again, turned a corner, and came to another hallway.
Who did it, that the key to the Room of Requirement was always in his hand, and that he could bring things in...... Ravenclaw?
"No, we have to find a way." Kyle frowned, he couldn't stay here forever.
He didn't know how long he had been trapped in the Room of Requirement.
On the plate are two ham sandwiches, and a fried sausage, a piece of baked potatoes...... If you add a glass of pumpkin juice, it's a standard Hogwarts dinner.
What a precious opportunity for a wizard to teach a thousand years ago, and Harry actually missed it...... Just to see a painting?
Ravenclaw probably wouldn't make that mistake, something must have gone wrong.
A huge force slammed into the tail of the spear, like a nail, and the spear that had been deeply embedded in Greyback's body was shortened again, nailing him directly to the wall, and no matter how Greyback struggled, the spear did not move.
"Tsk, the big bad wolf has been pushed to the teeth by the lamb." Kyle said with a smile, waving his wand slightly.
So that he had to spend all his time studying?
……
By this time, Harry had finished talking about the painting and began to talk about the appearance of Helga Hufflepuff in the Big Four, not noticing that Hermione's eyes were red on the other side of him.
Kyle couldn't help but think of Dumbledore and Harry, as soon as these two arrived, there was a problem in the Room of Request, which was too coincidental.
To save yourself time on the way to eat? Or is it some other reason.
The beast-like man was not angry that his prey had been saved, but there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
"What do you mean?" Connor asked, "How are you going to eat in there?" ”
It can't be Ravenclaw...... Not to mention whether she can still control the Room of Requirement now, what's the point of keeping him here.
And the Big Four?
Hermione had never wanted a time-turner so she could go back to last night and slap herself hard when she rejected Harry.
"Thank you!" The man said, he turned his head, and the whole person was suddenly stunned for a second. "Kyle? How are you? ”
Hermione didn't understand, she really regretted that she hadn't agreed to go in Harry's place last night.
He has eaten this taste for seven years, and he is too familiar with it, it is the craft of house-elves.
He shouted the Ravenclaw name several more times, but no one answered.
"There's something wrong with this man's brain." He asked, looking at Cedric.
They were still eating and chatting as before, but Kyle noticed that their bodies were a little lighter than before, and they felt like they had faded.
"Is that Sir Cadogan?" Ron asked.
"Harry." She hurriedly asked, "You said that Kyle took you to the Room of Requirement?" ”
The golden plate was always there, and it was punctual for Kyle's three meals a day, never a minute late.
In the next second, the food scraps were gone, and the golden plates were shining as good as new again, and everything was the same as the auditorium outside.
Kyle eats his sandwich and thinks about it, but never thinks of the answer.
The door to the Room of Requirement seems to have been blocked from the outside, and Kyle can't unscrew it no matter how hard he tries, even with the bronze knocker.
Kyle reached into his pocket, but grabbed a blank ...... The key given by Ravenclaw is missing.
"I don't need you to remind me." Kyle said angrily.
Kyle tapped his fingers on the table a few times, pondering what she was doing so.
"Be careful!" Cedric hurriedly said: "He is Fenrir Greyback, a werewolf, he is amazingly powerful, and the effect of the spell on him is also very weak. ”
The golden plate stood out among the silver cutlery around, and Kyle always felt familiar, and in terms of shape and color, he felt a lot like the kind of plate that students used to use today.
Just as Kyle pondered what was going on, a cacophony pulled him back to reality.
But didn't Dumbledore know about the Vanishing Cabinet? And let the headmaster's portraits look at why they let the Death Eaters into the school!
Too many doubts squeezed into Kyle's head.
Now that I think about it, this can't be a responsive house that will soon be restored to its original state, right?
However, he was so engrossed in the issue of changing magic that he subconsciously ignored it.
Thankfully, he didn't run into any of the students along the way, and everyone seemed to be in the common room.
"No, it's another." Harry said, "He's tall, but I've never seen him in the castle." ”
The classroom on the second floor, which had been in class five minutes ago, had now turned into a white expanse, leaving nothing behind.
He's out?
Kyle tentatively reached out and pressed his hand on the sandwich.
"yes." Harry said, "He's got a key-like thing there, and he had to put it on the wall to open the door to the Room of Requirement, what's wrong?" ”
Kyle couldn't figure out why he was suddenly locked up here, and to make matters worse, he was feeling a little hungry.
But Connor certainly didn't admit it.
Originally, he did this to save trouble, since there were more and more magical animals in the chest, preparing food for them had become a big problem, and with these, Noble could hunt for food on their own, and he didn't need to worry about it all the time.
He also took out his two-way mirror and prepared to explain the situation to Connor...... The gift he prepared really came in handy.
"He just left school an hour ago." Connor blurted out.
The two talked for an hour before Kyle put down his two-way mirror.
Now there is only that explanation.
But Kyle didn't give him that chance.
That's right, he's a werewolf in the first place.
There's no need, he only spends half an hour eating every day, so what's the use of that extra time?
Kyle was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that the food on his plate had been eaten by him, leaving only a little scrap left.
Seeing that Connor was still skeptical, Kyle said directly, "You guys have a sandwich for dinner, fry ham and baked potatoes, and there are pickled cucumbers in the sandwich." ”
"You're stuck in a room where you can't get out?" After getting the news, Connor also looked very surprised, and hurriedly said:
But before Kyle could make his next move, Professor McGonagall rushed over from the other side of the hallway.
With her wand in her hand and her lips tightly pursed, she strode towards it.
Kyle waved his hand quietly at the sight of Professor McGonagall, and Cedric heard a rustling sound behind him, but it quickly disappeared again.
