Everyday Players at Hogwarts

Chapter 432 In the tunnel

Sometimes, keeping the same secret can unexpectedly make the relationship between two people closer.

And Neville and Harry are like this now.

They chatted about everything, and from time to time showed each other the magic in their hands.

Harry tentatively cast a simple levitation spell, and Neville stood still with his sword.

Neville held Harry's right hand, and Harry unexpectedly found that he needed to consume more magic power than usual to cast the spell.

After an unknown amount of time, when Harry had not told Neville anything except Voldemort's secrets and the Moon City and Atlantis that were bound by the contract, Neville said, "Harry, you know, I've been out training recently whenever I don't have astronomy classes at night."

"Plus, I'm not being watched because of the influence of the magic circle, which makes me discover many interesting things."

"For example, Lupin, our associate professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, disappears into the Whomping Willow every night."

"Do you think he knows some Celtic magic that can merge with trees, or is he a long-lost tree shepherd?" Neville looked at the Whomping Willow.

The branches of the tree were shaking, as if in a strong wind, and the branches swayed back and forth. It should be a magical creature without a brain, such as a goblin, who approached her rashly.

"Thank you, Neville, this news is very useful to me." Harry's face was as heavy as water, and he took a deep breath.

.

The next day, on the astronomy tower, the venue was bathed in silver moonlight, and there was a slight chill in the air.

The Ravenclaw eagles all set up their telescopes to observe Jupiter and depict what they saw on the star map. Harry, however, was looking at something else.

The sky was cloudless tonight and there was no wind, which was perfect for observing the stars.

But for Harry, the small square golden spots flickering on the ground below, caused by the lights in the castle windows, were more useful.

Because he was looking in the direction of the Whomping Willow.

After an unknown amount of time, when Ron had already filled in Harry's star map, Harry finally saw the fleeting figure in the telescope.

So Harry adjusted the telescope slightly and pretended to be observing Jupiter like the other students.

"You saw it," Ron whispered.

Harry nodded, and at the same time, a paper crane disappeared into the sky under the cover of the night.

Ten minutes later, with the bell ringing for the end of get out of class, under the call of Professor Sinistra, the Ravenclaw eagles walked tiredly along the steep spiral staircase and disappeared into the classroom.

Under the cover of the night, two figures sneakily broke away from the crowd and walked out of the castle.

"Harry!" A figure rushed out of the bushes and hung on the tall and thin figure.

The moonlight shone on the cheeks of the two, revealing the messy red hair like a bird's nest and flames.

"Can you keep your voice down?" Behind the man with the bird's nest, a taller and thinner figure with flaming red hair emerged.

"Harry, Lupin is in the Shrieking Shack tonight?" Draco Malfoy, with light golden hair and pale cheeks, emerged silently from the darkness like a vampire.

Obviously, these four people are the current figures in Hogwarts, the Three Musketeers of Hogwarts, and the sister of Ron, the leader of the Three Musketeers, Ginny Weasley.

"Hey, Ron, can you stop mentioning that ridiculous title of the Three Musketeers, and when are you the leader." Ginny couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Okay, you all remember how to enter the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, right?"

"Press the scar on the Whomping Willow, and be quick." Harry said as he walked.

"Didn't we agree on that, Harry, you press it. No one among the three of us can do it except you." Ron waved his hand.

Ginny narrowed her eyes.

"Then-then we can do it ourselves. We are wizards. We can just use a levitation spell to control the stone and then a shock spell."

"Ginny can also conjure a bat." Ron said hurriedly, feeling a chill on the back of his head.

In the night, the four of them crossed the dark greenhouse, vegetable garden, and the black lawn outside, and finally arrived at their destination today-the Whomping Willow.

Just as Ron stretched out his wand and wanted to chant the spell.

A long sigh flashed by, and Harry approached the thick Whomping Willow.

Sensing the approach of a living creature, the branches of the Whomping Willow hit Harry like a storm.

Just when Ginny was about to scream, Harry strolled leisurely, dodging the branches one by one by lowering his head, shrugging his shoulders, bending his waist, backing off, and taking a small step to the right.

Before Ginny and the others could come to their senses, Harry's hand had already pressed on the scar on the thick trunk.

Suddenly, the tree seemed to have turned into marble, no longer moving, and all the leaves were still.

"I think we should not waste time." Harry shrugged and looked behind him.

"You left me behind to show off again." Ron couldn't help but mutter.

He completely forgot that he wanted to be lazy at first and let Harry do it all.

Hearing this, Draco and Ginny couldn't help but roll their eyes at Ron and walked to the side of the tree trunk.

After Ron and the other two climbed into the tunnel, Harry also slipped in.

It was a smooth earth slope, and after sliding to the bottom was a very short tunnel. Ron and the others were just ahead.

"Are we really going in?" Ron backed out.

He was the tallest among the four. Harry and the others could bend over and trot forward, but he would probably have to crawl.

And this tunnel seemed to have no end.

"Since we're here," Harry took the lead and bent over to enter the tunnel.

Ginny and Draco followed closely.

"I really hope I can run into Lupin on the way." Ron muttered as he crawled forward helplessly.

.

Ten minutes later, "Why don't we go back?" Ron backed out again.

But this time, even Harry couldn't help but agree in his heart.

Because this tunnel was too long.

And this tunnel was not for people to walk through.

Even Lupin, who had trained Fenir's incarnation and whose physical fitness soared, should have passed this tunnel in the form of a wolf.

The height of this tunnel and the plum blossom footprints on the ground that Harry had transformed and could vaguely see in the dark also proved this point.

Although his body had been transformed by magic, Harry couldn't stand the feeling of bending over in the dark with no end in sight.

Not to mention Draco and Ginny behind him.

Ron, who had been crawling, was probably about to collapse.

"Here!" Harry turned around and took out a bottle of potion. It was green and slowly turned from calm to boiling.

"Shrinkage potion?" Ron recognized it at a glance.
