Chapter 79
"I will sneak out of here tonight and try to get the Philosopher's Stone first." Harry's eyes lit up.
"You're crazy!" Ron said
"You can't do this!" Hermione said,"Didn't you hear what McGonagall and Snape said? You will be expelled!"
William didn't try to persuade her, he was waiting for Harry to say this.
""So what?" Harry cried,"Don't you understand? If Snape gets the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort will come back!"
"Haven't you heard what the situation was like here when he wanted to dominate the world?"
"If he succeeds, Hogwarts will no longer exist, and it won't matter whether he is expelled or not!"
"He would raze the school to the ground, or turn it into a school dedicated to teaching the dark arts!"
"Can't you see that it doesn't matter whether we lose points or not! Do you think that as long as Gryffindor wins the House Cup, he will leave you and your family alone?"
"If I was caught before I could get the Philosopher's Stone, I would have to go back to the Dursleys and wait for Voldemort to find me there."
"That would just mean dying a little later than now, because I will never join the forces of darkness!"
"I must go through that trapdoor tonight, and nothing you say can stop me! Voldemort killed my parents, remember?"
Harry said this indignantly and glared at them angrily.
William clapped his hands and shouted:"Harry, you are right, let's go together tonight, and we must not let the Philosopher's Stone fall into Voldemort's hands"
"You are right, Harry, I am going tonight too." Hermione also spoke up
"Of course I can't be left out of this matter." Ron said.
Harry looked at William and the other two, and was very moved, but he said,"But if we are caught, you will also be expelled."
"Compared to saving Hogwarts, expulsion is a small matter." William smiled.
Hermione also said firmly:"That's right, and you may not be expelled."
"Flitwick told me in secret that I scored 112 points in his exam. With such a high score, they were reluctant to kick me out."
Ron smacked his lips. That was a very impolite thing to say. He didn't have such good grades, so he had no way out!
Harry took his invisibility cloak back from William. He hadn't used it since the Christmas holidays.
This time, for the sake of the Philosopher's Stone and Hogwarts, he had to put on the invisibility cloak again.
After dinner, they avoided others and sat in the common room.
No one paid attention to them, which made them relax a lot. After all, what they had to do in the evening was too big, and they were still a little nervous.
Hermione was busy flipping through all her notes, hoping to happen to see a spell that they were going to remove later.
Harry and Ron seldom spoke, and they were thinking about what they were about to do.
William's face was still as calm as usual, but he had already begun to calculate in his mind how to get the Philosopher's Stone and the Mirror of Erised.
The classmates went to bed one by one, and the number of people in the common room gradually decreased.
""You can get the Invisibility Cloak now," said Ron.
At this time, Lee Jordan finally left, stretching and yawning.
Harry ran upstairs, rushed into their dark dormitory, and took out the Invisibility Cloak.
At this moment, he accidentally saw the flute that Hagrid gave him at Christmas.
He put the flute in his pocket, ready to use it to deal with Fluffy - he didn't think he was in the mood to sing to the big dog.
He hurried back to the common room.
"We'd better put on the Invisibility Cloak right here and see if it hides us all... If Filch sees a pair of feet walking on the ground by themselves……"
""Harry, an invisibility cloak certainly can't cover all of us. You and Ron just need to wear them. Hermione and I have other ways." William smiled.
Harry asked curiously,"What ways?""
"Disillusionment spell! A magic spell that can make a person invisible. It may not be as effective as your invisibility cloak, but it's pretty close."(Hearing William say this, Harry suddenly remembered that Dumbledore had used a similar magic in the Mirror of Erised classroom.
So he nodded:"Okay, but if that's the case, then we won't be able to see each other, so how can we act together?"
"Don't worry, let's meet in front of the house where Lu Wei is locked up, and I will remove the magic then."
"Well, let's go."
Harry and Ron put on their invisibility cloaks and got out of the portrait hole first. William took Hermione's hand, cast a Disillusionment Charm on them, and also got out of the hole.
They didn't run into anyone along the way and successfully reached the staircase leading to the fourth floor.
Peeves was hopping upstairs, pulling the carpet on the stairs loose, trying to make others fall.
"Who is that?" Peeves said, narrowing his mischievous black eyes as they walked up the stairs toward him.
"I know you're there, even though I can't see you. Are you a ghoul, a ghost, or a school kid?"
He rose to mid-air and paused, squinting his eyes as he looked in their direction.
"There is an invisible thing sneaking around here, I should report to Filch."
William didn't want to expose himself, he suddenly had an idea
"Peeves," he said softly, imitating the voice of the Bloody Baron,"The Bloody Baron doesn't want to be seen, and of course he has his reasons."
William had a talent called onomatopoeia, which allowed him to imitate the sounds he had heard, and at this time it was enough to make the fake look real.
Peeves was shocked when he heard this and almost fell from the air. He steadied himself in time and hovered a foot above the stairs.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bloody, Mr. Barrow, my lord."He said sweetly
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault... I didn't see you... Of course I didn't see you, you were invisible... Please forgive Peeves for this little joke, sir."
"I have something to do here, Peeves," William growled,"and don't come here again tonight."
""Yes, sir, I will obey you." Peeves said, rising into the air again,"I hope you can do it well, Lord Barrow, I will not disturb you anymore."
After he said that, he ran away quickly.
""William is amazing!" Hermione whispered.
A few seconds later, he was outside the corridor on the fourth floor... the door had already opened a crack. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
William lifted the Disillusionment Charm on himself and Hermione.
The next moment, not far away, Harry and Ron also took off their Invisibility Cloaks, revealing their bodies.
""Well, see," Harry whispered,"Snape has successfully passed Fluffy."
Seeing the half-open door, they seemed to be more aware of what they were about to face.
