"How is it? How much did the Slytherin group lose against Hufflepuff?" Wood asked enthusiastically as he watched Harry and Ron enter the lounge. 』』
He didn't watch this game, because it didn't make any sense to him, all he needed was a result. He is also about to graduate from the seventh grade now. Whether it is Muggle society or wizard society, this kind of moment is often very busy. For example, he is currently filling out piles of forms, and he is busy for this.
"Slytherin won," said Harry numbly, with no anger on his face.
"Oh, those guys still have some skills." Wood was taken aback for a moment, and didn't think much about it, but then Ron's words completely froze his smile on his face.
"Slytherin and the others won Hufflepuff by three hundred and fifty points." Ron's voice was extremely soft, and he was very reluctant to tell Wood the news.
"Ron, you can do pranks like your two older brothers now." Woodqiang said with a smile. He felt that Ron had learned badly now and could play pranks, making such unfunny jokes.
"It's true." Harry said with his head down, not daring to look up at Wood, but looking at the floor.
"How is it possible!" Wood suddenly roared furiously, and he even immediately lifted Ron's collar, staring at him with red and bloodshot eyes, "Did they use some despicable means to take advantage of their bodies? Foul, I knew, except for the girl who came in through connections, the other guys are tall and tall, and the Hufflepuff students are so kind, they must have been bullied... "
"They were very disciplined in this game." Harry saw Ron's collar being clenched, and hurried up to help him.
"Then how could there be such a difference in scores? You wouldn't tell me that the Hufflepuff students were bribed to release water on purpose!" Wood was still emotional now, shaking his hands non-stop, making Ron angry Shake it out.
"Others have seven Firebolts!" Ron yelled loudly, then forcefully broke Wood's hand away, walked to a scarlet chair and sat down fiercely.
"Firebolts? Seven?" Wood's eyes, which were about to breathe fire, seemed to be thrown into a world of ice and snow, and they were instantly cooled down. on the carpet.
"Firebolts? Seven?" Wood kept repeating this sentence in a low voice, as if in a daze, his eyes stared blankly at the front, tears flowed slowly from his eyes, but he didn't notice it.
Seeing this, Harry could only shake his head helplessly, and he didn't know how to comfort Wood now, because Harry felt that he needed others to comfort him now.
He was even thinking that if he could catch the Golden Snitch later in the previous game, he would allow his teammates to score more goals to widen the gap. Then today's Slytherin may not be so easy to score.
But this is just illusory self-consolation, he can see that today's Slytherin students seem to be able to do a lot, as long as they are willing, they can also widen the gap.
"By the way, where is Hermione today? Didn't she make an appointment with us? I didn't see her just now." After all, Ron was not a contestant, so he quickly got out of his emotions and asked Dow Harry.
Harry could only respond to Ron by shaking his head. They had breakfast together in the auditorium today and made an appointment to watch the game together, but when they walked to the Quidditch pitch, they realized that Hermione had disappeared.
Of course Hermione wanted to go to the game with her friends, but an accident happened on the way.
"Crookshanks!" The flexible chubby cat broke free from her embrace, quickly turned its body, landed on the ground safely, and then tore Hermione's robe with its teeth, trying to drag her Follow her in the opposite direction.
"Meow, meow." Crookshanks kept wailing, trying to get Hermione's attention.
"Crookshanks, I have already promised Harry that they will go to the football game. Is there anything we can do after the game?" Hermione squatted down and said patiently to the big ginger cat.
The eyes of one person and one cat just looked at each other quietly.
Rather than being a pet, it might be better to say that Crookshanks is also very much like her friend, so she hardly bosses around Crookshanks, but communicates patiently. She knows that Crookshanks should be able to understand her if.
But Crookshanks still stubbornly tugged on her trousers, trying to drag her away.
Hermione didn't know what to do now. Today, her original plan was to take advantage of this ball game to use Veritaserum to trick Peter Pettigrew. This time is a very rare opportunity, because Peter Pettigrew rarely Appearing at school, always busy with publicity, but Harry told her the other day that Pettigrew Peter will also be in this game.
So Hermione specially brought her crystal bottle full of veritaserum today.
But now Crookshanks made such a move again, which made her very puzzled. Crookshanks would never play his temper for no reason. Hermione had been with it for a long time and knew it very well.
"Okay." Hermione sighed helplessly, "Stop pulling on my robe, just lead me wherever you want to go." She said, stroking Crookshanks' furry head, Then stood up.
Hermione decided to trust her pet anyway.
But Crookshanks didn't take her anywhere else, but took her back to the Gryffindor common room.
"Crookshanks, what do you want to do?" Hermione was also confused, she didn't know Crookshanks' intentions now.
The big cat continued to lead the way, walked across the carpet covered with the ground, jumped, and stood on the spiral ladder leading to the girls' dormitory. It looked back at Hermione, and its eyes seemed to be urgently saying: "Follow me."
"Okay." Hermione gave Crookshanks an angry look, hoping that it wouldn't disappoint her, and now Hermione was already thinking about how to apologize to Harry and Ron later.
She was already late and looked like she might just miss the appointment.
As soon as Crookshanks returned to the dormitory, his movements became more swift. He leaped over the crimson flannel curtain, and used his thick palms to flexibly flip through Hermione's wardrobe up and down, even tidying up Hermione's wardrobe. Clothes are a mess.
"Crookshanks! What are you looking for?" Hermione felt that she might be wrong, and that Crookshanks might be venting her emotions. She knew that some pets might have unreasonable tempers in order to gain the attention of their owners. Get the owner's attention.
"If you continue like this, I'll have to lock you up in the dormitory, Crookshanks." Hermione walked up to Crookshanks who was looking around and said.
Then Hermione saw Crookshanks with a shiny silver fabric dangling from her mouth, and jumped into her arms.
"The Invisibility Cloak?" Hermione looked at Crookshanks in surprise. She had borrowed Harry's Invisibility Cloak for some time.
"Are you reminding me that you want me to pay him back now? Well, that's right, I borrowed a lot of time, but Harry didn't urge me, so take it and return it to him after watching the game. "
Crookshanks stared at Hermione with his big spiritual eyes, then shook his head, trying to put the cloak of invisibility on Hermione with his claws.
"You want me to wear it?" Hermione asked
Crookshanks nodded quickly. , and then jumped down from Hermione's arms, and started running on the ground, and Hermione had to quicken her steps to keep up.
They followed the same path and walked out of the Gryffindor lounge, during which Crookshanks stopped and stopped, sniffing and sniffing almost every other place.
"Crookshanks!" Hermione lowered her voice and said in a panic, "The basement under the stairs is the Slytherin bedroom, don't go there."
But Crookshanks didn't seem to hear it, and continued to jump up and down the spiral staircase. Hermione could even feel the excitement in its heart from its jumping figure, as if it was about to see Like an old friend who has been gone for a long time.
Hermione couldn't figure out why Crookshanks behaved like this, because she had almost no interaction with the students of this academy this semester.
Things have come to this, Hermione can only bite the bullet and go on, and one person and one cat are extraordinarily lucky, just when the password was needed, two people just ran out of the Slytherin lounge in a hurry , did not pay attention to Crookshanks at all.
Not to mention Hermione in the Invisibility Cloak, which also provided them with clearance into the lounge.
"This is my second time here." Seeing the corner of the mantelpiece that had been extinguished for a long time, the walls made of black marble, and some strange creatures outside the window, Hermione's mood was a bit complicated at the moment, all of which She remembered some memories of last year, but when she continued to recall, she found that her mind was blank, and her memory was interrupted
There are two stone doors facing Hermione and Crookshanks now, and behind the stone doors should be the dormitory of the Slytherin students.
Crookshanks stayed by the two stone doors for a while, then chose the one on the left and went straight in. Hermione could only continue to follow. Crookshanks must have something to bring her here At this moment, her heart is also in chaos, and she doesn't know what she will find in the future.
But Hermione knew that, no matter what, Crookshanks would not harm her.
Crookshanks continued to explore the road, then stopped suddenly in front of a door and tried to push it open, but it was locked tightly
"Alahoo hole" Hermione took out her wand, pointed to the lock and said softly, the door opened in response, she pushed the door and entered, followed by Crookshanks.
Different from the scarlet-like tones commonly used in Gryffindor's bedroom, Slytherin's bedroom is much gloomy, with green silk curtains and silver embroidery and lanterns, which are not as conspicuous as Gryffindor's.
Crookshanks' apricot-yellow eyes suddenly narrowed, and he began to rummage carefully at the foot of each student's bed.
"What are you looking for? Crookshanks." Hermione subconsciously lowered her voice, even though there was no one here, they all went to watch the match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff.
"Luminescent flashes!" Hermione turned around and locked the room first, then took off the invisibility cloak, and followed Crookshanks to search.
"Meow, meow." Crookshanks called out, and Hermione could hear the joy in it.
"Have you found it, Crookshanks?" Hermione followed Crookshanks' voice and walked over, bent down, and saw the scene that made her angry.
"Who is so cruel!" With the help of the light brought by the spell, Hermione only saw a skinny black dog lying in a dark cage, probably asleep or dead, because he The breath is so weak.
Crookshanks' eyes were full of sorrow, no longer the joy just now, it felt very uncomfortable to see his friend turned into this state now.
"Crookshanks, let's drag this cage out." Hermione said urgently, she wanted to rescue this innocent black dog, and at the same time, she was also accusing the unknown person who abused and imprisoned animals.
Then they worked together to get out the iron cage. The iron cage rubbed against the ground and made harsh noises. Hermione gasped for breath. This labor was still a bit hard for her. The iron cage was very Heavy.
The magic on the cage was a bit tricky. In addition to the physical lock, there were also some restrictions set by magic, but these didn't bother her. After thinking for a while, Hermione unlocked the above restrictions.
After removing the lock, Hermione wiped the sweat from her forehead, and tentatively said to the black dog in the cage, "You are free, are you okay? It was Crookshanks who brought me to rescue you. "
The black dog still didn't respond.
"Persist a little longer, and I'll find someone who can help you." Hermione's eyes were moist, and she was wondering who could be so cruel to satisfy her own evil taste. She knew that some people just took pleasure in torture, and that the more pain the tortured person or animal showed, the more pleasure the abuser would get from it.
"I must tell Headmaster Dumbledore that one of the Slytherin students committed such a crime," Hermione said heartily.
She can accept the slaughter of the animals in front of her, but she cannot accept the slaughter.
The lying body of the black dog in the cage trembled suddenly, and then opened his eyes, the eyes were frighteningly bright, seeing that the cage that locked him had been opened, the black dog turned over suddenly, stood up, and slammed it out. Even the door of the iron cage deformed under such violent force.
"Don't be afraid, you are safe, and those who tortured you will be punished." Hermione tried her best to comfort the black dog in front of her, and tried to reach out to stroke its head. Until this moment, Hermione still thought that the dog Now the manic behavior is made out of fear.
But she soon stopped thinking about it that way.
The skinny black dog in front of him suddenly took a few steps back, its body began to twist and grow, its black fur gradually faded, its limbs began to stretch, and its legs stood up accordingly. Finally, standing in front of Hermione was a tall And thin man.
