The confused students followed the prefects and deans of their colleges sleepily to the hall. The four long tables of the colleges had been moved aside, and the ghosts were also called out to wander around on guard.

A row of sleeping bags have been quickly prepared, and the students of each college crawl into their own area in a suitable size sleeping bag and continue to sleep. The confused discussions are suppressed because the senior students and professors are patrolling back and forth. go down.

"Hey, Harry—" Waiting for Professor McGonagall's footsteps to fade away, Ron couldn't wait to poke his good brother beside him, "Do you know what happened?"

Harry got his head out of the sleeping bag, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes: "I don't know." He was very tired every day because he had participated in Quidditch training recently, and he was sleeping soundly when he was woken up.

But the strange events in the castle always made him have to pay attention, so he came to his senses at this time.

"I know." Although the voices of the two people were very low, they still attracted the attention of several students around. Simo also moved closer to the two at this time, "The portrait of the fat lady was scratched Yes, she said Sirius Black did it!"

Sirius Blair again? !For a moment, Harry thought of Sirius Black's crazy expression and eyes on the wanted notice he had seen before, and couldn't help but feel suffocated.

Not to mention Harry, the boys around couldn't help discussing for a while, with some horror and disbelief: "He broke in? How is it possible, the castle is full of dementors!"

Hermione noticed that Harry's face was not very good-looking, and then she opened her mouth in the discussion among the boys: "Stop talking, in case the professor hears about Gryffindor, another point will be deducted."

"The professor is over there!" Seamus seemed very proud of knowing such first-hand information. He nodded at Hermione, then turned around and said, "Do you think Black is hiding somewhere?"

Hermione was annoyed.

She still wanted to say something to stop them, but she heard a footstep that was so light that it was almost imperceptible, followed by a familiar voice that sounded indifferent: "I think, the few of you have forgotten where you are, so that you will The boys' dormitory discussion is in the hall where everyone can hear."

A silence.

The boys withdrew their heads one by one, closed their eyes tightly and remained motionless, pretending in vain that they were asleep.

The hall was indeed very quiet, because of what Linkos said earlier, the boys pretended to be asleep for a long time, and they really began to wonder if their voices were loud enough to reach even the other end of the hall. heard.

For a moment, they all felt guilty, wishing they could stop the sound of breathing.

In this silence, only Hermione couldn't help opening her eyes quietly, and looked in the direction of Linkos' voice, just in time to see Linkos' side face and slender neck.

Oh yes, she was laughing, the kind that was harmless, as if after a prank!Hermione couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw Linkos' slightly upturned mouth, as if a rabbit was jumping non-stop in her heart, and an inaudible voice kept shouting cuteness in her ears.

Then, the sound stopped abruptly, because Lynx lowered his head sharply, and his gray-green eyes precisely caught Hermione's sight.

Hermione closed her eyes with a guilty conscience, even though she knew that she and Linkos had looked at each other stupidly for at least three seconds, but she didn't know what to do.Apart from knowing that her heart was still beating wildly, Hermione's mind was blank.

Until she heard a very soft sound, the rubbing of cloth, footsteps, and a faint, almost hallucinatory laugh.

I don't know how long it has passed, until Hermione heard a new movement from the classmates around her.

"Let's go?"

"left already."

"Scared me to death! Slytherins are so annoying!"

"Shut up Ron!" Hermione lowered her voice in annoyance, but everyone could hear the anxiety in her words, "Merlin, don't you all realize that our next door is the Slytherin area?!"

Very well, Hermione's reminder and irritable state finally made a few energetic Gryffindor cubs realize this actual problem. Just at this time, Professor McGonagall came over here again, and they finally He closed his eyes obediently, and the night was indeed deep, so he fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone woke up one after another amidst the sound of urging.

Everyone sleeps in the hall, and the hall is also the place for breakfast, so no one can sleep in here.

When Hermione and the others returned to the Gryffindor Tower, they deliberately took a second look at the fat woman.

The fat woman looked the same as usual, even the painting was in good condition, without any signs of being torn, which made Harry and Ron curious.

However, the fat woman's mood was really wrong. After Harry and the others looked at them a few more times, she glared at them obviously angrily: "Oh, do you still know how to write politely?!" In order to let the Gryffindors Going in, she kept the portrait open.

"I'm sorry." Hermione grunted, reaching out and dragging the two companions into the tower, ending the awkward staring.

For the next few days, Hogwarts was very peaceful, so peaceful that the most curious Gryffindor no longer speculated about Sirius Black, the wanted man.

Of course, there are also reasons why the Quidditch competition has entered a hot season.

Compared with the two partners who were enthusiastically discussing Quidditch, Hermione was more in the classroom and the library.And this week, something happened that caught Hermione's attention.

There is a weekly ancient magic text class. This time, Lincos Ramirez is not seen, but Professor Yassande himself is teaching the class.

The professor's spirit was a little better than before. There were many people who were as puzzled as Hermione. Hermione didn't even need to ask it herself. She just dawdled a bit when get out of class was over, and she heard a Ravenclaw classmate ask.

Regarding the fact that Linkos didn't come, Professor Assander just explained that she had some important matters to leave Hogwarts temporarily, and she would come back next week.

This of course satisfied the Ravenclaw student who asked the question, and they left the classroom contentedly, leaving Hermione alone to wonder: Is something going on at Miss Ramirez's house?

She was a little worried.

However, she didn't even have a chance to ask.Does Linkos have any friends?Even if she knew, could she, a Gryffindor, ask?

These little entanglements were not very noticeable, but scattered in the bottom of Hermione's heart, making her inexplicably anxious, but even she herself couldn't tell what she was anxious about.

This made Hermione an out-and-out firecracker, who was pulled to the point of breaking due to the tension of the heavy textbooks. Under such circumstances, Harry Potter received a firecracker. .

That's right, the fireball sent by the postal owl and thrown in front of Harry in a ostentatious way, the best and fastest fireball in the entire wizarding world, even Slytherin has a few little wizards who can't control it for a while. Looking at the long table of Gryffindor with envious and surprised eyes.

Harry was ecstatic. Although he was also puzzled by the unknown person who sent him the fire, the cheers and celebrations of Ron and others around him made him smile a lot.

"With the fire gun, Harry, you can definitely give them a good look!" Ron said excitedly in his voice.

I have to say that Ron's voice was really loud, and these words fell clearly on the side of the long table in Slytherin, causing many people to frown and look bad.

Draco Malfoy, who had always been against the Savior and was also a Slytherin Seeker, stood up angrily. The wand in his hand was about to move, but a person who happened to pass by held his shoulder.

Draco was angry and wanted to struggle, but the thought was extinguished by the cold voice above his head: "This is the hall, and the principal is on it."

Draco paused, he recognized that it was Linkos who had disappeared for two days, and his mood was a little complicated.For this senior sister, he still doesn't know what attitude he should use to face it.

"A Slytherin, you don't want to set yourself up for something." Linkos' tone was a little blunt, and compared to her usual way of treating people, she seemed in a bad mood.

Slytherin has always been extremely sharp, Qiqi trembled at this moment, no one dared to offend the authority of his own prefect at this time - even Draco sat down again without saying anything in the end.

Linkos didn't say anything more, just slowly walked to his seat and sat down as usual, and picked up the tableware to eat with the etiquette that he had long been accustomed to.

There was silence on the long Slytherin table. Everyone was eating in a proper manner. Occasionally, some people couldn't restrain themselves and looked at Linkos quietly.

Linkos disappeared for two days, saying she had something to attend to when she got home, but everyone in Slytherin knew what happened before she "disappeared".

It was a Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the poor—yes, the poor—Professor Remus Lupine was having fun demonstrating a new magical creature.

I have to admit that even if there is an opposition between the houses, the Slytherins all have a high opinion of Professor Lupine's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. After all, there is Lockhart in front of him. The professor does have some real talents, but his self-dressing is not elegant enough.

But every Slytherin was unhappy in that class.

It's a Boggart that changes shape according to the fear in people's hearts.

What a ridiculous creature, but Slytherins didn't like having their insides exposed.

It is said that this Professor Lupine intends to give this Boggart to students of every age, and the first turn is the fifth grader.

But the Boggart didn't survive the class.In fact, when the cabinet door was opened for the first time and the Boggart appeared from inside, Linkos, who was standing at the very front of Slytherin, had a dark face. Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the Boggart had not yet completed his transformation. Suddenly, it swelled up like a balloon, and burst into pieces in a sentence Linkos couldn't understand.

Boggarts aren't very powerful magical creatures, but they can't be exploded with a single word - not even most common offensive spells can do that.

The lethality shown by Linkos made the Slytherins have to keep this point in their hearts. No one wanted to be eaten up by a disagreement. Linkos didn't even use his wand at that time.

Of course, no one was so stupid as to say these small thoughts directly, and the excitement over Gryffindor continued.

Ron Weasley's scream turned from excitement to anger.

"Hey, that's for Harry, how could you do that?!" Ron snarled at Hermione Granger, one of the Gryffindor Triangle.

Hermione just frowned, without any hesitation about her decision: "But this is dangerous, no one knows if someone will use this to hurt Harry!"

No one could stop Granger from making a decision, and Ron's roar only made the matter worse. As she said, Hermione found Professor McGonagall and explained the safety of the fire. doubts.

So, before Harry warmed up the fire, Professor McGonagall solemnly took it away.

"I can't believe that's how you treat your friends!" Ron yelled at Hermione, pulling Harry away from the Gryffindor table.

Hermione opened her mouth, but swallowed the words in the end. Looking at the bread in her hand, she lost her appetite. She left the hall with her thick bag of books and went to the library to seek a clean life.
