Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 131
After the house-elf disappeared, Harry stood there in wonder and wonder.

"Behind the tapestry in the hallway on the eighth floor, the troll beats Barnaba, 'Desire is your blessing.'" This should be the answer to the second puzzle of the Triwizard Tournament.

Harry couldn't believe his good luck. He was worried that he couldn't solve the puzzle. He didn't expect a strange house elf to deliver ready-made ones to his door. But why did this elf tell Harry to "run away?" "Woolen cloth?

Just as Harry was thinking, another house-elf appeared with a snap. It turned out to be Kreacher. Kreacher was panting, and his eyes were more bloodshot than usual.

Seeing Harry, Kreacher hurriedly bowed: "Good morning, honorable Master Potter, have you met a strange house elf?"

Harry said happily, "Yes, he told me..."

"Oh no, old Kreacher is a step late, old Kreacher is going to mess things up..." Kreacher shook his head, as if annoyed at himself, "Sorry, Master Potter, Kreacher is sorry." He then With a bow, he disappeared into thin air.

Looking at the place where Kreacher disappeared, Harry scratched his head and yawned. He didn't know what happened to these house-elves in the early morning, playing Apparating in the castle.

He put on the invisibility cloak and went straight to the corridor on the eighth floor. He spent 10 minutes researching the silly Banaba who taught trolls to dance, but he still didn't find any clues. He had no choice but to go back to the Gryffindor common room first. .

At breakfast, Harry told Ron and Hermione the whole story.

"Isn't that obvious? The second project is about teaching trolls to dance ballet underwater. Maybe the beautiful mermaid will help!" Ron said excitedly.

"Come on," Hermione retorted, "Then how do you understand the phrase 'desire is a bondage and a blessing'? Don't tell me Harry desires trolls..."

Ron brought his red-haired head closer, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "But Harry might have a desire for a mermaid..."

Harry couldn't help but "poof", the pumpkin juice almost spewed out of his nose, Hermione straightened her neck, and gave Ron a stern look, Ron immediately turned serious and lowered his head to eat his own buttered toast.

The three of them discussed without any valuable results after breakfast. Hermione suggested asking Professor Peddie or Sirius for help, but neither of them showed up in the auditorium this morning.

Harry, Ron and Hermione had breakfast, and planned to go back to the Gryffindor common room first, and then go to the corridor on the eighth floor wearing the invisibility cloak. When they reached the foyer, Ron suddenly shouted: "Quick, quick!" cover me!"

"Ronnie? Ronnie, where are you?" Parvati walked down the stairs, looking around, Ron bent over and hid behind Harry and Hermione, so she didn't find Ron, and went straight into the auditorium , the smoking Ministry of Magic Security Officer Constantine came up to her to pay attention, she turned her face away impatiently, and continued to look for Ron near the Gryffindor table.

"Huh—" Ron breathed a sigh of relief, "Come on, I don't want to meet her or her sister..."

Hermione didn't look very happy: "Ron, I think you should...you know..."

Ron's face was flushed, and he avoided Hermione's eyes in embarrassment, "Do you want me to continue to associate with Parvati? She is too clingy, and I don't like Professor Trelawney and her at all." zodiac card... Speaking of which, how are you and Krum..."

"Victor and I are just good friends!" Hermione's voice rose angrily. "And what I want to say is that you should be brave!"

Several students in the hall looked at Hermione in surprise, and Hermione blushed. Harry hurriedly made a comforting gesture, signaling them to stop arguing.

"What are you hanging out in the hall?" said a low voice.

Snape came up from the passageway from the basement to the entrance hall. The students who had been watching Hermione Ron's quarrel hurriedly stepped up and escaped before being deducted points. Now is an extraordinary period, and staying outside the common room for no reason will be punished .

Seeing that Harry, Ron and Hermione were still standing there, Snape said with a gloomy face, "Potter, Granger, Weasley, what are you doing standing here, go back to the common room. "He looked haggard again, with shadows around his eyes.

Harry mustered up his courage and told Snape about meeting the house-elf this morning. To his surprise, a trace of worry flashed across Snape's face, but before Harry could see it clearly, the His face returned to indifference.

"The tapestry in the corridor on the eighth floor?" He said slowly, "Students rarely set foot in that place. You should ask those who wander around all day long and never obey school rules."

Harry felt that Snape was probably implicating someone, and it was probably James or Sirius.

"The house-elf told me that the secrets in the castle are related to 'desires', do you know what that is?"

Snape raised his eyebrows, "It's been less than half a year since I came back here, and I also abided by the school rules when I was a student, unlike some students..."

"Okay, thank you." Harry said sincerely, "You pay more attention to your body, I see..." He swallowed half of what he said, spying on other people's lives through the Marauder's Map is not a good thing The countertop thing.

"What do you see?" Snape insisted.

"I see—you look a little haggard, I wonder if you are sick." Harry hurriedly made up the second half of the sentence.

Harry's words seemed to pass, Snape showed a rare smile: "Oh, Professor Sprout has prepared some mature mandrakes, I spent some time using them to make resurrection potions, I I believe that Miss Brown's awakening is just around the corner."

"Professor, do you need our help?" Hermione suggested enthusiastically.

"No," Snape said, "at your level, unless I want to poison Miss Brown... well, you all go back to the common room."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked away obediently. Hermione had suspected that Snape had other plans, but after the conversation last night and this morning, she was a little shaken.

"Look, Hermione, you just think too badly about people," said Ron. "By the way, if Lavender can wake up, won't Parvati stop pestering me?"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Hermione's face darkened again, and the two returned to the common room noisily all the way, Hermione kept suggesting that Ronnie "proposed to break up like a man".

"What about you and your little Vivi?" Ron demanded loudly.

Harry couldn't help feeling annoyed, and he brushed them off for a while, letting them continue their quarrel, and Ginny joined in, helping Hermione scold her brother.

Harry returned to the dormitory, lying on his pillow to write letters, one letter was written to James and Lily, and Hedwig asked Hedwig to take it to Godric's Hollow, and he copied the other letter into two copies with the engraving spell, and asked Kreacher to write a letter. Send it to Professor Peddie and Sirius.
