Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Harry was the first to find something wrong.

Then they all stopped. It was late at night and the corridor was silent, but now it seemed even more dead silent.

Ron took a step back in fear and said in a sharp voice: "Where is the Fat Lady? She is gone. We have to find the professor quickly!"

In such a situation, the Weasley twins were calmer than the little wizards.

George said quickly: "You go to the Great Hall with me. Fred, you go find Professor McGonagall now!"

Hermione suddenly woke up and said: "Since the Fat Lady can leave, the entrances to the common rooms of other colleges may not be safe. We have to inform Lin Xia and Draco quickly!"

Ron: "Shall we run to the second floor now?"

Hermione: "No need to bother. We can use the spell taught by Lin Xia to notify her."

After that, she waved her wand, and a flash of light rose from the top of her wand-"Letter delivery!"

I don't know where Lin Xia saw this spell. It was originally an intermediate spell, and the magic words involved were a bit complicated.

Lin Xia had a lot of experience with ancient magic words, so she replaced some of the magic words in this spell with low-level ancient magic words.

The people in her experimental team had already learned a lot of low-level ancient magic words, so it was easier to use this spell.

After a while, a golden letter paper flashed in the air, and Hermione waved her wand and quickly wrote a line of text with the tip.

After writing, the letter paper turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of everyone.

Harry and others did not dare to stay where they were, fearing that something unexpected would happen again, and hurried to the Great Hall with George.

At the same time, when they were about to enter the Hufflepuff common room, Lin Xia suddenly saw a flash of magic in the corner of her eyes.

She couldn't help but pause and stopped.

A golden letter paper appeared in front of her, with only one line of text on it, and the note was Hermione.

Draco also saw the content of the letter paper, and his face changed.

"The fat lady who was in charge of the entrance to the Gryffindor common room disappeared?!

Harry and the others couldn't go back to the common room...wait, what about the group of Gryffindor students in the dormitory behind the common room? Will they be unable to get out?"

Lin Xia shook her head and said calmly: "I don't believe there is only one passage to the common room.

An accident happened, and the school must have other ways to get the little wizards inside out."

She thought for a while and felt that the fat lady's escape was not a trivial matter, and it might affect the entire Hogwarts.

It was late at night again, when the little wizards were sleeping soundly. If such an accident happened, no one knew how to deal with it.

Lin Xia turned around decisively and said: "Let's go to the Great Hall too. I'm afraid we can't sleep tonight!"

At the same time, Fred finally found the professor on duty.

The professor on duty today is Professor McGonagall!

She looked energetic and didn't feel tired from staying up late at night.

Including other outstanding students, they patrolled so late every night, but they were energetic the next day.

Fred was still in the mood to think about what methods they used to keep themselves energetic.

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised to see Fred come back, and quickly asked: "Fred, what happened?"

Fred quickly told the Gryffindor incident, and Professor McGonagall's expression became very serious: "The Fat Lady disappeared?"

She subconsciously said: "The Fat Lady is a portrait with a strong sense of responsibility. Unless she encounters an accident, she will not leave easily."

Fred said: "Professor, I have arranged Harry and others in the Great Hall. What should we do now?"

Professor McGonagall: "You also go to the Great Hall. I will gather all the wizards to investigate."

Fred then returned to the Great Hall. When he left, he saw Professor McGonagall waving a spell with her wand.

The spell was silver-white and powerful, and it looked like some special spell for communication.

Fred was afraid that he would be criticized by Professor McGonagall, so he didn't dare to look at it for too long. He just looked at it a few times and left.

He came to the Great Hall and brought the news from Professor McGonagall.

Fred said in a relaxed manner: "Don't worry, the Fat Lady will be fine with the professors here."

Lin Xia took the opportunity to ask them: "What happened? How did the Fat Lady disappear?"

Harry recalled: "I stood at the door, waiting for the Fat Lady to speak and ask me for the password.

But I waited for a while and didn't get it, so I looked up and found that the Fat Lady had disappeared from her portrait, leaving only an empty frame."

Ron added: "Not only that, the portrait was chopped hard, the canvas fragments were scattered on the floor, and a large piece of canvas was torn away."

When the little wizards gathered together to discuss, many professors also came from all directions.

They were all in Hogwarts, and they came very fast, almost at lightning speed.

Snape glanced at the damaged frame and said coldly: "We need to find her as soon as possible."

The other professors looked solemn and worried.

Professor Flitwick frowned: "The Fat Lady is not someone who will run away easily. She has a strong sense of responsibility."

Sprout guessed: "Xu encountered some kind of danger, and she had to be asked to open the door to the Gryffindor common room, but the Fat Lady didn't get the correct password, so she refused?"

Snape said sternly: "Dumbledore must be told about this!

We need the Headmaster's permission to open another path to the Gryffindor common room, where many Gryffindors are still trapped, even though most of them should be sleeping. "

Professor McGonagall said with a serious expression: "I'm going to inform Dumbledore now!"

In addition, McGonagall also said: "Others quickly go find the Fat Lady. She cannot leave Hogwarts and will never leave easily."

"I wish you good luck!" Suddenly, a voice came out, giggling.

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Peeves.

This Peeves didn't feel nervous when being looked at by so many professors. He whistled hard, and more and more Peeves emerged from it and floated together.

It seems to be gaining momentum due to the large number of people.

More Peeves came, and Peeves, who loved to play pranks, no longer concealed his true nature, and jumped up and down on the heads of all the professors.

Others' misfortune is their happiness.

Professor McGonagall suddenly asked: "Peeves, did you discover something?"

Peeves subconsciously looked at Professor McGonagall flatteringly, but soon returned to his usual fearless expression, and said sarcastically:

"She's shy, Mr. Principal, she doesn't want to be seen, she's miserable. I once found her running past the landscape painting on the fifth floor.

Professor, she was hiding in the bushes, crying so sadly. Peeves added hypocritically: "What a poor man." "

Professor McGonagall's tone was very light: "Did she say who did it?"

"Oh, I told you, Professor." Peeves' expression was like holding a big bomb in his arms.

"He was angry because she refused to let him in." Seeing this, Peeves turned over and grinned at the professors from between his legs.

"He has a terrible temper, that Sirius Black."

All the professors' faces darkened. This was the scene they least wanted to see.

Seeing that Peeves had all left, the other professors took action.

McGonagall was responsible for contacting Dumbledore, while the others went to find the Fat Lady.

She is a picture frame, and she can only hide in the picture frame.

But there are at least thousands of Hogwarts picture frames, so finding them is very difficult.

If the Fat Lady had to hide in a nook and cranny, they would not be able to find her for days and nights.

In the auditorium.

Several little wizards gathered together and discussed the disappearance of the Fat Lady.

They didn't know what happened yet, so they could only make random guesses, because the reasons for their guesses were so outrageous that Hermione couldn't help but call it a day.

"Forget it, don't think nonsense, I believe the professors are already taking action.

If you really want to know the truth, then go out now and maybe you can learn it from the professor. "

Hermione was just talking. Unexpectedly, the expressions of the other little wizards changed slightly, and they seemed to really want to go out.

Hermione quickly said: "No, we can't go out. The sudden disappearance of the Fat Lady is more serious than imagined.

Hogwarts is very dangerous now. The professor has set up protective magic in the Great Hall. It is the safest place for us to stay here. "

The Weasley twins were about to speak when a voice suddenly emerged, with a unique arrogance.

"I didn't expect to hear such philosophical words from Miss Grange. Your performance exceeded my expectations.

But don’t worry, I still won’t give extra points to Gryffindor. It’s enough for your college to have a special extra point maniac named Mikel. "

Lin Xia ignored Snape's tone.

This professor would only speak politely to students from his own college, and he would treat students from other colleges the same way.

She asked: "Professor Snape, what happened?

Can the students trapped in the common room come out? Is the Fat Lady missing or dead? Can she be found? "

Snape glanced at Lin Xia, but he was not sarcastic.

He is very good to students with particularly outstanding grades, especially students from aristocrats.

If Lin Xia and Draco weren't both in Hufflepuff, Snape could treat them better.

Snape said calmly: "Peeves saw this scene. Sirius Black asked the Fat Lady to open the door for him, but the Fat Lady refused, so Black destroyed the picture frame. The Fat Lady was too frightened and ran away to another place. ”

He rarely comforted her with a few words: "The Fat Lady is very responsible. She will not leave Hogwarts. If we don't look for her, she will return to the common room in a few days when her mind calms down."

He looked specifically at Harry, his eyes cold.

“I came here specifically to remind you not to do unnecessary things.

Sirius may be in Hogwarts. He is a heinous villain. If he really wants to kill you, we will have no time to stop him. "

After Snape finished speaking, he left quickly. He still wanted to find the missing Fat Lady.

The little wizards looked at each other, and their thoughts of going out for activities stopped instantly.

I have to mention that Sirius Black is notoriously evil outside. If he were in Hogwarts, no one would be willing to take risks with their own lives.

Ron said in a somewhat collapsed tone: "There are so many Dementors outside the school, but no one found Sirius?"

Lin Xia said calmly: "If it was so easy to find, the Ministry of Magic would not have placed Dementors outside Hogwarts, making our little wizards always worried.

Even a powerful organization like the Ministry of Magic could not find Sirius's whereabouts in the first time. What's so strange about the Dementors not being able to find him?"

Ron trembled a few times and looked at Harry.

He knew what Harry was planning.

Harry had always wanted to meet Sirius and ask him what he was thinking, and whether the death of his parents was related to Sirius betraying them.

Sure enough, the next second Harry said firmly: "I want to go out!"

George and Fred quickly followed: "Harry, we will go with you!"

Hermione frowned and said very disapprovingly: "No, it's too dangerous."

George and Fred looked at each other and nodded to each other.

George smiled and said, "What if we can minimize this danger?

Harry has an invisibility cloak, and even the professor cannot see through the invisibility cloak, but we have another thing that can tell where Sirius Black is."

Fred took out a worn and wide parchment from the traceless telescopic ring and said to the paper: "I solemnly swear that I will do no good!"

Everyone saw that the parchment suddenly slowly emerged with the facilities inside Hogwarts, and the details became clearer and clearer, as if to include the entire Hogwarts.

Lin Xia's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, she actually saw the professor's name and the student's name from the map!

The professor's name kept flashing, and this map seemed to be able to record people's activities.

Ron asked in surprise: "What kind of map is this?"

George: "We call it the Marauder's Map. When I was in detention with Filch in my first year, I saw a drawer with the words [confiscated supplies, highly dangerous] and found the map in it."

Fred added: "This little beautiful thing teaches us more than all the teachers in the school!"

Harry was instantly attracted by the map.

With this map, if Sirius really appeared in Hogwarts, he would be able to find him immediately.

They looked at the map.

Because it was late at night, there were not many people walking outside.

After a while, they looked through all the names of the people who were still active, and Sirius Black's name was not on it.

Harry couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved.

He didn't seem to want Sirius to be caught by the professors and put back in Azkaban.

At least now, he didn't want to.

George: "With this map, we can go on many night walks without being discovered by the professor."

Fred: "Now, it's time to decide what to do!"

George asked: "Will you stay in the auditorium, or go with us to find the Fat Lady?" (End of this chapter)
