Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Chapter 81 An Unexpected Nighttime Encounter



As night fell, the faint moonlight shone through the clouds onto the walls of the castle.

The students went back to the dormitory to sleep one by one. There were fewer and fewer people in the common room, and a large space was cleared.

Three sneaky figures walked down the stairs lightly, and one of them was holding a black cloak in his hand.

quack!quack!quack!

Just as the three were about to move on, a toad appeared in front of them.

"Lyfe!" Harry was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled as to why Neville's pet appeared here.

"Never mind it, we have to act quickly," said Ron.

"What are you doing?" Neville stood up from behind the sofa, looking at the three of Harry with ugly expressions.

Originally, he just couldn't sleep, so he wanted to come and sit for a while, and took Lai Fu out to get some air by the way.

But he never expected that he blocked the three Gryffindors who were about to leave the dormitory. His sense of responsibility was instantly overwhelmed, and it was absolutely impossible to turn a blind eye.

"You're going to sneak out again, aren't you?"

"Neville, listen, I, we..." Harry stammered, but he was obviously not ready to explain because of his guilty conscience.

"No, you are not allowed to go." Neville relied on his strong physique to block the door. "You have already deducted 150 points. If you are caught for not returning at night, Gryffindor will be even more unlucky."

"Neville, we don't have time to explain to you now, so get out of the way." Ron said impatiently, "There are three of us, you can't stop us."

"I'm ready." Neville was determined, clenched his fists, and put on a fighting posture.

It's just that the pajamas he was wearing and the flustered expression on his face made his action look nondescript and a little funny.

"Neville, I have wronged you." Hermione pulled out her wand, "All petrified!"

Neville's face turned blue in an instant, his body stiffened quickly, his arms clinging to the left and right sides of his body, and he fell to the floor with a plop.

Gollum!

Before Harry could react, Ron swallowed, "You're a little scary sometimes, you know?"

Hermione looked at Neville who was motionless, her face was full of apology, "I'm sorry, but it's really for your own good."

"Let's go!" said Harry.

The three bypassed Neville who was lying on the ground, and put on the invisibility cloak when they left the portrait doorway.

There were a lot of them, and they had to make sure that the invisibility cloak covered three of them, and their speed was much slower than normal walking.

......

Meanwhile, Aaron in the Slytherin common room was getting ready.

A music box, a Christmas present from one of his relatives, is of such high quality that it will definitely calm the three-headed dog.

The contents of the two pre-written letters are almost exactly the same.

Once it is determined that Voldemort has started to act, Aaron will not hesitate to let Abe deliver the letter.

As a life-saving magic tool, he pinned a very inconspicuous brooch into his clothes. This thing can withstand all the blows of the great magister, including the killing curse.

Finally there were two wands, and Aaron examined them as carefully as a quill before an exam.

"call!

Sure enough, I was still too nervous. If I had known earlier, I would have reserved half of today's tranquilizer for myself. Aaron chuckled, then patted Abe's faucet, and stuffed the two letters into his pocket, "The green envelope is for Professor Snape, and the red envelope is for Professor McGonagall.

Your task is very heavy, and it may even affect your master's life, you know? "

Abe nodded solemnly, his small face was rarely serious.

Seeing this, Aaron felt a little relieved, and then took out the invisibility potion.

He drank a quarter of it himself, and fed another quarter of it to Shenglong.

This allowed them to remain invisible for nearly an hour, enough time to rush to the corridor on the fourth floor and wait there.

Even if the time limit is up, the remaining half of the potion can give them enough buffer time.

After becoming invisible, he took out another bottle of Felicia Felicia, took a sip by himself, and fed it to Abe with some pain.

"It should be safe now.

Set off! "

......

Ten minutes later, Aaron came to the corridor on the fourth floor before Harry and the others.

One person and one dragon adjusted their breathing tacitly, and approached the wooden door cautiously.

At this time, they couldn't help but not be vigilant, what if Voldemort was playing music to Maomao, if they were discovered, it would be for nothing.

At this time, Voldemort doesn't care who is invisible, and it is possible to cast the death curse directly on them.

The lock on the wooden door is still in good condition, the same as at noon.

But Aaron was more careful. If the lock was broken, it meant that Voldemort had entered the trapdoor.

But the door lock is fine now, and Aaron doesn't know if he's coming or not.

You can only get close to the wooden door and listen carefully to see if there is any sound of music inside, so as to make a preliminary judgment.

But the soundproofing function of this room is still very good. Aaron worked hard for a long time, and only heard the sound of Mao Mao snoring.

Just when he was hesitating whether to go in and have a look, a light red light suddenly flashed on the door lock, and the door was opened like this.

Aaron's heart skipped a beat, and he covered his mouth with one hand and Abe's with the other, for fear of making a sound.

After the door closed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's time to wait." Aaron put down Abe, then pointed to the outside of the corridor, the meaning was obvious: I'll guard here first, you go to report.

Abe didn't act immediately, after hesitating for a while, he stretched out his dragon claws towards the wooden door, and then shook his head quickly.

"Anything?"

Aaron frowned, and continued to press his ear to the door.

After a while, several black lines appeared on his forehead.

Because in addition to the purring of the three-headed dog, he also heard the voices of several acquaintances.

Before he had time to think, he opened the door and walked in. As expected, he saw three Gryffindors.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all came, and none of them were left behind.

"How did the door open?" Ron asked with some doubts.

"Maybe it's not closed properly!" Harry didn't care, but glanced at the harp that was playing automatically, "Snape has already been here, and he cast a spell on the harp."

"It may not be Professor Snape who came." Aaron interjected speechlessly, "He should be sleeping in the dormitory at this time."

"Who? Who's there?"

The three of them panicked in an instant, took out their wands one after another, and aimed at the direction from which the voice came.

"Uh... don't be so nervous." Aaron withdrew from the invisible state, "If Mao Mao wakes up, we will be sad."

"Aaron, why are you here?" Harry asked a little excitedly, "Do you have an invisibility cloak too?"

"I don't have that kind of props, but I have a bottle of invisibility potion." Aaron spread his hands, then glanced at the harp that was still playing, his pupils shrank slightly.

Since this harp was not made by Harry and the others, it could only be Voldemort.

After thinking about this, he immediately winked at Shenglong who was still squatting at the door.

After Abe received the signal, he quickly rushed out of the corridor.

"What are you doing here?"

"Get the Philosopher's Stone before the mysterious man." Hermione explained, and then became a little frustrated, "But we seem to be a step late."

Aaron couldn't help but patted his forehead, "I seem to have said that I am sure to stop the mysterious man!

Is that why you don't believe me? "

"It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that we can't put the burden on you alone." Harry said seriously.

"Hehe! Don't get me wrong.

To state in advance, I stopped him for my purpose, but not for you. "

"never mind.

Since you are here, it means that you are a united front with us.

Although it is a step late, there are still many organs under the trapdoor!

The mysterious man certainly hasn't succeeded yet, we still have a chance. said Harry, walking up to Fluffy. "We have to move its claws, the trap door is under there." "

"Move what?" Aaron said impatiently, "All you have to do now is go back to sleep, staying here will only get in the way, and it's... very dangerous."

"What about you?" Hermione asked meaningfully, "Should you plan to stay?"

"That's not important, what's important is that I have the confidence to get out of my body."

Harry shook his head, "Even if you talk about hype, we won't let you face this alone.

Furthermore, in case you fail, we will help and take care of you. "

Aaron:  …

Why didn't you find out that this kid is a tendon before?

"Ron, come and help me!"

"it is good!"

With great effort, the pair moved a huge dog's paw away, revealing the trapdoor below.

After opening, it was an extremely dark passage.

"Tsk tsk tsk! It's scary to look at." Driven by curiosity, Aaron took a closer look.

"I'll be the first to go in, and you guys will come down after I give the signal." Harry volunteered, "If anything happens, you just have to escape by yourself."
