Chapter 27 Halloween Chapter

The moonlight came in from the high windows, and spread across the corridors. The whole castle was sleeping peacefully, only the people in the portraits would occasionally grunt.

Evan took the lead and walked briskly in the shadows. Occasionally, when he encountered other night-walking students, he just avoided them in the corner and did not attract attention. After all, if Hermione was seen night-walking with Slytherin people, the situation Definitely not too good.

There was a long way to go from the Gryffindor lounge on the eighth floor to the restricted area on the fourth floor. No matter how careful I was, I still met Mrs. Norris on the way.Hermione almost thought Mrs. Norris was going to scream at them, and hurried back to find Filch and arrest them all.However, nothing happened. Evan silently cast some spell, and Mrs. Norris moved away from staring at them, and brushed past them as if she hadn't seen them.

Soon, Evan and the others safely reached the fourth floor. Just as they were about to go around the corner and reach the forbidden corridor, Evan stopped suddenly and stopped the people behind.

Harry was just about to ask Evan what he found, but Ian covered his mouth, and only heard Snape's vague voice coming from the corridor: "How dare you come to the restricted area during curfew... your brains only have Thick skull?! Oh, maybe it's the head that a dog can't bite that saved you from being a snack. Now! Give me! Go back! Your troll den!"

Seemingly frightened by Snape, several students didn't even dare to defend themselves, and hurriedly ran away from another corridor.

"20 points deducted from Gryffindor! For your recklessness!" Snape's voice grew louder as they walked away.

Just as Evan and the others were waiting for Snape to leave, Dumbledore's voice suddenly came: "Snape, you are too strict with the children. Night tours are fun for children. I remember that you often Swimming to the restricted area of ​​the library to read, it’s a wonderful student time, isn’t it?”

No need to look at Evan to know that Snape must have a dark and impatient face at this time.

"Enough!" Snape interrupted Dumbledore and sighed, "What are you doing here? If you are worried about that stupid dog inside, don't worry, it almost ate a few giants with hard skulls Strange."

"Oh, Lu Wei has always been very good, just to scare them." Dumbledore said perfunctorily, "You know, it's Harry I'm worried about."

Hearing that the two of them mentioned him, Harry's heart ached quickly, and the others also pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"The Dark Lord is not here, I told you." Snape was a little impatient, "I don't think you are so demented that you don't remember anything!"

Dumbledore did not refute him, and talked about something Snape didn't know: "Lily received Harry's letter a few days ago, which was full of praise for Slytherin: unity, thoughtfulness, great goals... and The Death Eaters have been working hard to save children abused by Muggles, but they only use the wrong method to attract everyone's disgust, and all this is rooted in the distrust of the public."

"It's a beautiful compliment, isn't it? The Boy Who Lived found a sense of belonging in Slytherin, and Slytherin is finally going to be rectified." Snape exaggeratedly sighed.

"You know what I mean." Dumbledore didn't agree with his perfunctory, and said sternly, "Harry's father was killed by Voldemort, and his mother fought hard to fight against Death Eaters, but their son was bewitched and inclined to Death Eaters , this is not a good thing."

After a pause, Dumbledore continued: "Harry is now the easiest time to be lured and used. I am very worried. Snape, can you guide him for me?"

Oh, did you find Harry here?Evan saw Dumbledore's plan.Didn't he just want to tell Harry who was on the sidelines deliberately, so as to make him feel alienated from Slytherin?However, the person he was looking for was not so easily poached.

"I'm not that capable," Snape said. "I'm not someone he can trust."

"I think you'll find a way," said Dumbledore.

Snape didn't reply, turned and left.

"Harry, I hope you can see the truth." If there was a vague sigh, Dumbledore also left with Snape.

It seemed that they had heard some terrible secret, and everyone present was a little silent.

Harry was a little dizzy, Dumbledore's words made him feel that what Evan said might not be so beautiful.But from this perspective, is what Dumbledore said correct?He couldn't tell the difference.

"So, shall we still go to the restricted area?" Seeing that several people were contemplating, Hermione broke the silence nervously.

Harry was a little absent-minded, Ian said it didn't matter, and Draco had been in a daze, trying to analyze the information leaked in the passage just now.

Seeing this, Evan sighed, and simply took a few people back.Anyway, the restricted area has always been there, and it doesn't matter when you come.

After that night, Harry had always thought that Evan would at least ask him to explain, but there was nothing.Evan seemed to have never heard any secrets, and he still treated him calmly as usual, not even joking occasionally.And Snape, who he thought would do something after listening to Dumbledore's words, never approached him privately, but occasionally criticized his wrong way of handling potions in class.

The rare daze and entanglement made Harry a little overwhelmed. He suddenly found that even Ian didn't really regard him as his friend because of his proximity as he thought before. Yes, he felt that Ian In fact, I am not impatient with him, and I usually have nothing in common with him.This realization left Harry at a loss for a long time.

In such a comparison, it was Draco's attitude that made him feel better. Draco's sarcasm from time to time made him feel that he was still being noticed.

This kind of depression makes Harry often go to Hagrid to stay for a while. Although Hagrid is a little unreliable in doing things, he will keep talking, so that the atmosphere will not be too cold, and he can think about himself in the chatter thoughts.

Evan can see Harry's actions. If Harry is so easily swayed by Dumbledore's words, then he really has nothing to win Harry over. Let Harry support the Order of the Phoenix. Bar.

This depressing atmosphere didn't last long, and Halloween was coming soon.

When Evan woke up early and opened his eyes, he saw two beautifully crafted pumpkin lanterns on the bedside table, but they seemed to be smiling silly.After looking at it for a long time, Evan found the signature "HP" in the corner.

I have to say that Harry's hand-crafted intention is quite touching.Evan sighed for a while, then simply lit the pumpkin lantern, and carved a magic circle with some thought, so that the pumpkin lantern floated on the bed in a fixed track.

After appreciating the jack-o-lantern, Evan turned around to wash up, but saw Draco, who was already awake, looking enviously at the jack-o-lantern on his bed, so he resignedly took Draco's jack-o-lantern and carved another one. magic circle.

This time it’s more complicated. Not only can the jack-o’-lantern float on the bedside, but it can also turn into a Chinese fireball dragon from time to time, occasionally ejecting mushroom-shaped fireballs from its nostrils.

Draco's wish was fulfilled, and Harry looked at him expectantly as soon as he entered the lounge.Evan couldn't help laughing, he was still a child, and instantly felt that Harry's neglect during this period was completely unnecessary.

Evan greeted Harry with a smile: "Harry, thank you for your jack-o-lantern, it's very beautiful. I heard that Muggles will give candy on Halloween, so I'll give you this as a gift in return."

Harry was handed a big bag of magic candy, not only Chocolate Frogs, Blowing Super Bubblegum, Bibi's Beans, but also fudge from Honeydukes and huge chocolate bars.

Harry was immediately moved. He would only be locked in a cupboard during the holidays. Only Dudley could ask for Halloween candy in the streets. Seeing Dudley's contentment, he thought that the taste must be very delicious. good.Although his mother bought him a lot of snacks after being picked up by his mother, he has never experienced the feeling of receiving gifts on festivals.

Harry happily took out a strange flavored bean and tasted one, and the taste of smooth chocolate instantly spread to the whole mouth.Wiping away tears secretly, Harry felt that Slytherin was still very kind to him, and as for Voldemort, he should be able to put it aside and not think about it.

Hogwarts seems to be filled with the smell of roasted pumpkins everywhere, and everyone can't concentrate on listening to the class, looking forward to the Halloween dinner in the evening.

At night, the students happily ran out of the classroom, and as soon as they entered the restaurant, they were immediately attracted by the Halloween decorations in the hall.

The scene in the hall was quite spectacular. There were more than 1000 live bats circling densely on the walls and ceilings. Other bats circled around the corners up and down. The vibration of their wings made the candlelight flicker. Some bats swarmed onto the table, which looked like a big dark cloud from a distance.Huge jack-o-lanterns are placed beside each long table, and candlelight is faintly scattered.

Just like the big meal at the beginning of the school year, in the blink of an eye, the golden plates were filled with sumptuous dishes, and everyone happily enjoyed the delicious dinner.

Evan paid special attention. There were no vacancies in the faculty seats, and the professors were all present. Even Quirrell happily chatted with Professor Sprout next to him.

This time, there shouldn't be a troll incident like the original book.Evan ate his steak, thinking vaguely.

As soon as he finished chanting, there were screams at the door of the restaurant.Evan turned his head vigilantly, just in time to see a huge dog with three heads rushing fiercely into the restaurant, blocking the entrance of the hall, with the giant reaching up to the ceiling!The dog had three pairs of big, round, vicious eyes; three noses, each snorting in their direction; Yellow canines.

Frightened by the terrifying three-headed dog, the hall became agitated, and many people screamed in fear.

Dumbledore reacted very quickly and built a barrier to prevent the three-headed dog from rushing directly into the middle of the hall to hurt the students. A low but clear voice resounded through the hall: "Calm down! Quickly retreat to the inside of the hall." He heard The sound, many students calmed down and started running quickly.

Seeing that some students at the end of the table were frightened by the sudden situation, Evan rushed over decisively to push them away from the danger zone.

Many senior Slytherin students also acted together with Evan, protecting the retreat of the junior students.Evan saw that some students on the long Hufflepuff table next to him were also frightened by the three-headed dog, so he quickly called a few Slytherin seniors to wake them up together, and dragged them into the restaurant.

More and more seniors joined in, helping to lead people to the faculty seats, and spontaneously organized a line of defense to surround the lower grade students tightly behind them for protection.

All the actions were very fast, and the three-headed dog had already taken shape before the next step of protection.

The three-headed dog seemed to be very hungry. He raised his head and roared, staring fiercely at the nearby students, and opened his mouth wide to swallow the nearest student.

Evan, who was still escorting the students, cursed in a low voice, and quickly transformed the chair beside him into a thick wooden board more than three meters high, blocking the sight of the three-headed dog. The student pushed away violently.

Suddenly, Evan's arm was pulled back violently, and there was a bang, and the wooden board in front of him was shattered by huge claws, and the flying sawdust was blocked by Dumbledore's Iron Armor Curse and bounced back to the three-headed dog body.Amidst the shrill screams, Snape pushed Evan, who had not yet had time to stand still, behind him, and tacitly quickly cast a flame, forcing the three-headed dog back a few steps.

Only then did Evan have the energy to see the surrounding situation clearly. The students of Slytherin and Hufflepuff retreated in the most timely manner, and all of them had gathered near the staff table. They ran into the hall in the past, and Gryffindor was the most chaotic. Some Gryffindors were still eager to try. Not only did they not run in, but they seemed to want to go forward and fight the three-headed dog.

While watching the movement of the three-headed dog, Professor McGonagall cast a spell to protect the students of his college, and at the same time, he was distracted to drive the ignorant Gryffindor back.Dumbledore was fighting the three-headed dog hand in hand with Snape, while Professor Flitwick, who reacted slowly, stood firmly in front of the protective circle formed by senior students, firmly guarding the students behind them.They didn't dare to cast spells to interfere with the three-headed dog, for fear that the three-headed dog would divert its target and rush towards the students recklessly.

Evan hid in the corner and observed the three-headed dog carefully, feeling that the situation of the three-headed dog at this time was a bit strange.The original book said that the weakness of the three-headed dog is music, as long as it hears music, it will fall asleep, but Dumbledore has conjured up a harp that keeps playing, but the three-headed dog does not seem to be asleep at all, but becomes more and more excited .The two giants fiercely attacked Dumbledore and Snape, who were in the way; the other head even broke through Professor McGonagall's line of defense and injured Neville, who was running the slowest.

At this time, the Gryffindor students realized that they had no ability to fight against the huge three-headed dog, and finally retreated back to the professor's line of protection in fear, while Fred and George twins rushed forward bravely and took the injured Neville helped him back.

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that most of the students had retreated and joined the battle.
