In the early morning, the wind is biting.

The winter morning sun shone obliquely on the stone wall of the castle, barely waking up a student who was greedy for a warm bed.

Before it was time for class, Kevin was already standing at the bottom of a tower. Basking in the bright sun, he looked up at the top of the tower. There is a colored glass window there, and the light hits the window and refracts out, which is so gorgeous that people can't distinguish the scene inside.

Kevin didn't deliberately look through the glass, feeling that it was disrespectful to the elders. Behind the window was the Headmaster's office, which he believed was at work at his desk. After thinking for a moment, he walked a few steps to a stone statue in the corner. The stone statue is ugly in appearance and majestic in posture, with its back to the tower and its eyes looking ahead. The base of the tower is closed on all sides, and only the stone statue is one ornament.

"Chilled lemon juice. Kevin's face was serious.

"The password is incorrect. ”

The stone statue that was originally still spoke in a muffled voice, like a living thing, and a pair of stone eyes on its huge head clicked and turned, staring at Kevin, almost trying to scare the future away.

Kevin, whose mind has been tempered, naturally will not give in easily, he resisted the pressure of the dripping beast, and looked at him and said, "The last time I came, Principal McGonagall said this password!"

"As you say, that was only the last time. ”

The Dripmon's response was succinct and bland, and I don't know if it was the temperament shared by the gargoyles, or if it was infected by Principal McGonagall. After speaking, it did not confront Kevin, but only looked ahead, regained its posture, and remained silent. These reactions made Kevin feel like he was punching his fist in the air, and he was suffocated.

Just as he was trying to figure out how to get through, there was a slight knock from behind the stone wall, and the dripping beast jumped to the side, and the wall where it was crouching suddenly cracked, revealing the figure of Principal McGonagall in Kevin's field of vision. Principal McGonagall, who has always been resolute, did not disappoint this time, she only waved to Kevin, and turned and walked up the stairs.

The stairs rotated automatically, and after a while Kevin could only see the hem of Magna's robe, and he hurried in, stepping on the spin staircase. At this moment, there was a warning from behind him with the sound of a dripping beast urn: "If it was an outsider, it would have been killed by me a long time ago." ”

Kevin turned his head to see that the stone wall was already closed under his feet, he pouted and shrugged his shoulders, then let go of the matter and turned his head. By this moment he had been reached by the end of the staircase, and in front of him was a gleaming oak door, and in the doorway stood a girl with flaxen, blond hair.

"Wendy, you're coming to the headmaster too?" Kevin felt even more strange about the strange girl appearing here.

"Well, I'm here to report. ”

Wendy, who had just come out of the principal's office, unexpectedly bumped into Kevin, but he was still so close that he could almost feel his snort, and he was somehow flustered for a while, and after replying with his head buried in his head like a mosquito, he hurriedly stepped on the staircase that rotated down on the other side.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you're the student council president who was just appointed this year. Seeing that Wendy was a little panicked, although he felt that there was nothing rude, Kevin still took the initiative to wave at her back and greeted her friendly, "Good morning!"

The voice reached her ears, and the moment she looked back and saw Kevin's smile, the "good morning" she wanted to say turned into another sentence: "Please don't care, although it has a strange temper, it can be regarded as loyal to its duty." ”

"What?"

The girl's abrupt words made Kevin unable to understand what she meant for a while.

"I mean, the statue is only verbally threatening to the teachers and students at Hogwarts. Halfway up the stairs, Wendy mistakenly thought that Kevin hadn't heard clearly, so she hurriedly raised her hands into a horn and shouted upward, "Next time you want to find the principal, I can come over and help you with the password!"

"Thank you! I can hear you!" he was halfway through his shout, and after taking a deep breath, Kevin suddenly noticed a special fragrance in the air, "Also, you smell so good!" he complimented heartily, his voice so loud that it could almost pierce the stone wall.

This time, there was no answer from downstairs, but the sound of hurried stairs, and after a while there was no movement.

Scratching his head with a deflated mouth, Kevin, who was full of question marks, pushed the door in, and saw Principal McGonagall sitting behind the desk, who was looking at him with a strange face at this time, and he finally couldn't help but say, "Did I say the wrong thing again?"

Raising her eyebrows and tilting her head to the side, McGonagall waved her hand and said, "That's your young business, I don't care." ”

"Forget it, I'll go back and find a chance to apologize to her. Headmaster. As he spoke, Kevin took out a glass tube from his pocket, and a strand of silvery-white substance like a hair changed endlessly, "I came here to borrow a meditation basin for use." ”

"Harry gave it to you again?" Seeing Kevin nodding, McGonagall asked, "Is it still about him?"

"Yes, after this incident, I am desperate to know anything about him. Kevin stared at the silver thread in the test tube in his hand, as if there were countless secrets hidden in it waiting for him to uncover.

"Do you want to be as powerful as him?" McGonagall said to Kevin, and seeing the latter nod with a serious face, she smiled, "After all, I am envious of being able to capture dozens of Death Eaters alive on my own. ”

"Headmaster, you mean ......," Kevin said.

"Let's do it, okay?" said McGonagall as she put her quill back into the inkwell, clasping her hands together.

"Well, of course. ”

Receiving an affirmative reply, McGonagall smiled happily, took off her gold-rimmed glasses and placed them on the paperwork in front of her, got up, patted the hem of her clothes, and led Kevin to a stone platform with a sculpture carved in the corner. There is a silver plate placed on the stone platform, and the edge is engraved with a circle of runiwen, the liquid in it is as clear as water, but it is unfathomable, and the bottom of the meditation basin cannot be seen at all, which is extremely inconsistent with common sense.

Kevin unscrewed the stopper and poured out a few strands of silver thread from the glass tube, allowing them to dissolve into a cloud of "ink" in the liquid. Taking a deep breath, he saw Principal McGonagall beside him nod encouragingly, and then threw his face into the meditation basin with her.

"Whew!"

As if the wind was howling, the two of them landed on the dry grass that had just formed, and the streams of "thick ink" around them turned into various people, surrounding them. The scene of heaven and earth is established, and at this time, only a few white smoke appeared in the air, and only a few black smoke in the crowd on the ground have just begun to rise.

"Isn't that Mr. Harry's memory, why are we here?" As soon as Kevin finished speaking, the still picture around him suddenly moved, and the "Kevin" around the two of them was struggling to resist the overwhelming attack of "Evans", black and white smoke was entangled, and the fanatical roars of the Death Eaters boiled into the sky.

"The thoughts in the meditation basin are not the subjective opinion of the person who possesses the thoughts, but the objective facts. As a result, we can uncover details that have been overlooked by those in the authorities. After a little explanation, McGonagall stopped talking, and instead looked intently at what was happening.

She didn't tell Kevin that the paperwork on her desk was a letter to jot down the details of the incident and was going to be sent to Harry. She didn't tell the truth, in fact, she watched this memory with Kevin, not to satisfy curiosity, but to take the opportunity to find out about "him". Especially in the meeting the night before, after the other party showed a calm attitude, her thoughts became more and more intense.

"Bang!"

After "Kevin" fell hard, he knew it was time to reveal the secret. Kevin remembered that when Mr. Harry gave him his memories, he mentioned that "he" had spoken to Harry. With this, he looked forward to what was about to be shown more and more, and his heart was anxious for a while.
