Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"I heard screams and a green light..." Harry shook his head stubbornly.

"Harry, you should take a break!"

Lupine looked worried, and he handed Harry a particularly large piece of chocolate, "Here, eat it, it's good for you."

"Professor, what was that just now?" Harry didn't eat the chocolate, he looked at Lupine, wondering why the other party knew his name.

"The dementor from Azkaban!" Professor Lupine crumpled up the empty chocolate wrapper and put it in his pocket, "Actually, this little guy has already done a lot of work before I came here." Okay. You need to eat these chocolates now, I need to speak to the driver, sorry!"

Ivan saw Lupine go out and disappear into the corridor.

When he turned around, he found that everyone was staring at him, even Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe were no exception.

"Don't look at me like that, Professor Lupine said just now, those are dementors, they are the guards of Azkaban."

"Dementors, Azkaban!" Harry muttered, raised his head and asked in embarrassment, "Apart from me, did any of you faint?"

"No!" Ron looked at Harry anxiously, and he repeated the reactions of the others.

Although everyone was terrified, no one fainted, which made Harry's face even paler. He didn't understand. He obviously felt weak and trembling just now, as if he had just recovered from a bad flu, but why? Does anyone else not have this reaction?

Harry began to feel embarrassed. Everyone else was fine, so how could he be so frightened?

"Evan, what was the spell you used to ward off those dementors just now, why did I seem to see..." Hermione asked softly.

"Okay, okay, the spell I just used was..."

"Wait a minute, Ivan!" Ron stopped him hastily, he turned his head to look at Malfoy and the three of them, "A magic that can help us resist that kind of terrifying monster, I think such an important thing is not suitable for Slater to use." Lin's students heard."

"That's ridiculous, Weasley, do you think I'm willing to listen to a mudblood talking nonsense here." Malfoy's haughty eyes flicked slowly across the faces of several people, and finally fell on the pale Harry. There was malice in his eyes, "Be careful, Potter, don't faint like a child again."

"You're not much better. Don't think I don't know. When those dementors came in, you shivered in the chair." Ron gritted his teeth.

"Hmph, at least I didn't pass out, let's go!" Malfoy muttered to Goyle and Crabbe behind him, and they turned and left the carriage with the chocolates in their hands.

"Okay, let's go on, Ivan!"

After Malfoy left, the atmosphere in the car was significantly more relaxed. Except for Harry whose face was still frighteningly pale, everyone else seemed to have recovered.

"Actually, it's not a magic that needs to be kept secret. I just used the Patronus Charm, which is a very unpopular and profound spell that can be used to resist dementors." Ai Wen said quickly, "I also use the first Once used, it can only emit a little strong light, and it cannot form a complete physical Patronus. If you want to learn, I can teach you. In fact, I plan to publish the usage of this spell in the newspaper, if Everyone will stop being afraid of dementors."

Just after Ai Wen finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the patron saint who appeared at the last moment, which seemed to be...

He shook his head, it must be an illusion, how could it be that kind of thing.

Chapter 77

The cold rain was pouring down, and when everyone entered the castle along the marble stairs, everyone was visibly relieved.Harry's face was no longer so pale, and Ivan felt that he had almost recovered, and his legs finally stopped shaking.

The tempting smell of food wafted out from the auditorium, and the laughter inside made the little wizards have a wonderful feeling of returning to the world.

Ivan sniffed his nose, feeling empty in his stomach.

He missed the opening banquet last year, and he didn't eat anything in the end. It's a pity. Besides the food at the banquet, he also wanted to see the sorting ceremony.

Just as he followed Harry and was about to enter the auditorium, Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly came through the crowd.

"Mason, Potter, Granger, I want to see you three!"

Several people turned their heads in surprise. They saw Professor McGonagall walking over with a stern face. Ivan quickly thought about whether he had done anything wrong recently.

"You don't need to be so sad, I just want to talk to you in the office." She turned her head and continued, "Weasley, Creevey, you go to the banquet first."

Ron and Colin stared at Professor McGonagall leading Ivan, Harry, and Hermione away from the chattering crowd.

They went through the vestibule into her office, a small room with a welcoming fire in the fireplace.

The three were surprised to find that Madam Pomfrey, the head nurse, was already waiting there.

"Professor Lupine sent an owl first, saying that you were ill on the train, Potter." Professor McGonagall said worriedly, "As for you, Mason, Lupine said you used a full Patronus Charm, It's unbelievable, the physical load must be huge for your age."

"No, Professor, we..."

Before they finished speaking, they were interrupted by Madam Pomfrey.

"It turned out to be the two of you!" She said in a voice suddenly enlightened, "I thought who it was...you won't do dangerous things again, it was a basilisk last time, what is it this time? "

"Four dementors, Pomfrey," said Professor McGonagall.

They exchanged an inconspicuous look, and Madam Pomfrey took a deep breath and let out a cluck of disapproval.

"I knew it, stationed dementors around the school." She grumbled and touched Alvin and Harry's foreheads. "Poor boy, you won't be the first to break down. Those are terrible things." things, the effect they have on the untouchable..."

"We're not vulnerable!" cried Harry.

"Of course you are not." Madam Pomfrey said absently, "You look pretty good, what do you need, bed rest or..."

"I think we are fine, maybe I have many happy things to recall, and the burden of the curse on me is not as great as I imagined." Ivan said hastily.

Ever since he took the magic enhancement potion, he has clearly felt that his magic power is much higher than before, and his actual level is far higher than that of young wizards of the same age. Using a Patronus Charm will not have much impact on his body .However, Ivan was also very surprised why he released the complete physical patron saint. He was obviously desperate at the time, and he couldn't think of any happy things in his head.

"I don't need anything either!" Harry nodded in agreement, "Professor Lupine gave me some chocolates, and I feel better now!"

"So, we finally have a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who has mastered the healing method." Madam Pomfrey muttered softly.

Next, after Ivan and Harry repeatedly confirmed that they were okay, they went out with Madam Pomfrey, and Professor McGonagall had something to say to Hermione.

"What else is Professor McGonagall going to say to Hermione?" Harry asked strangely.

"It should be a matter of course selection. She has taken all the newly added courses in the third grade, and the schedules are all conflicting. Maybe Professor McGonagall is trying to persuade her to give up a few courses."

Having said that, Ivan knew that Professor McGonagall would give Hermione a time converter.

He used this thing at the end of the last semester. The time-turner was made by Rowena Ravenclaw himself. The magic power is very powerful, and it can bring him to Hogwarts thousands of years ago that he did not exist. .

Unfortunately, Ravenclaw didn't give him that thing when he came back.

From the time converter, Aiwen thought that there should be other useful things in the secret room where he got the thing, but he was not sure where it was. Go to Ravenclaw Tower and rummage around for a hidden chamber.

There is also the secret treasure left by the Big Four. Regarding the key to unlock the treasure, he still has no clues at all, and he doesn't know what those riddles mean.

Just when Ivan was frowning and thinking, Hermione came out, looking very happy, behind her was Professor McGonagall, and the four of them walked down the stairs and returned to the auditorium.

The Great Hall was a sea of ​​pointed black hats, each long table full of students, their faces glowing in the light of thousands of candles suspended in mid-air above the tables, Professor Flitwick holding one The ancient hat and a three-legged stool came out of the auditorium.

"Oh my God!" Ivan covered his forehead, "I won't miss the sorting ceremony again."

"Yes, you are really unlucky!" Colin looked at Ivan sympathetically, and he left a place for him beside him.

When Ivan sat down, he found that there were a few new faces on the Dean of Gryffindor's desk, which should be this year's freshmen.

He didn't know each other, but these people all seemed to know him.

In fact, throughout the dinner, people kept turning their heads to look at Ivan or Harry, people pointed their fingers at them, and what happened on the train spread quickly.

It can be seen that everyone is very interested in this matter, whether it is why Harry fainted, or what spell Ivan used to defeat the dementor.

Maybe after I finished my article "I'm at Hogwarts with the Basilisk", I can write another "I'm at Hogwarts with the Dementor". Anyway, these are real things, as long as Lockhart If you write routines, it will be very popular.

Aiwen's age is the best selling point. Apart from him, how many 12-year-old wizards have the experience of defeating basilisks and dementors? !

It was only when there was warm applause from all around that Ivan came back to his senses.

He saw Hagrid standing on the teacher's bench, flushed, staring at his large hands, smiling hidden in his shaggy black beard.

Dumbley had just introduced two new professors this year. Lupine, unsurprisingly, became the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and Hagrid taught the Protection of Magical Creatures class.For this appointment and dismissal decision, everyone except Snape and the students of Slytherin House were sincerely happy.

Needless to say, Hagrid, all the little wizards are very familiar with him. After washing away his many years of grievances, it seems to be a logical thing for him to replace the retired Professor Kettleburn as the new protection of magical creatures. matter.

As for Professor Lupine, all the students who experienced the dementor attack on the train applauded vigorously. Although he was dressed poorly, he looked more reliable than Quirrell and Lockhart. A capable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is very happy.

Even Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe applauded a few times, but they stopped short.

Following their gazes, Ivan saw Snape staring at Professor Lupine.

The look on his face was beyond annoyance, it was loathing.Set against the gloomy backdrop over the auditorium, it is chilling.

Ivan and Harry glanced at each other quietly, their mood that had just improved was completely destroyed by Snape's expression.

What made the dignified atmosphere reach its peak was what Dumbledore said next. He told everyone that dementors had been allowed by the Ministry of Magic to station at all entrances to the school grounds. He asked all students to restrain their behavior and not to interact with dementors. Conflicts arise because these creatures don't naturally understand pleas or excuses, and they view any lack of cooperation as a provocation and attack it.

Facing the attack of the dementors, no one can escape with the magic ability of the little wizard.

As soon as Dumbledore's voice fell, Ivan found that everyone turned to look at him, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was heavy and terrifying.

Chapter 78 Tranquility and Warmth

In a rare collective silence, the start-of-term dinner ended, and everyone was immersed in the shocking news that dementors were stationed at Hogwarts.

As we all know, dementors are one of the most evil creatures known. They haunt the darkest and dirtiest places in groups. All sucked dry.

Get too close to a dementor, and any good feeling, any memory of joy will be sucked away by it.

If it can, it will feed off of you for a long time, until it makes you just like it, soulless and evil, leaving you with only the worst memories of your life.

These terrifying creatures have long been guards in Azkaban, the wizarding prison that guards the most evil dark wizards in the wizarding world.

But now, they have come to Hogwarts, what does this mean?

Everyone seems to have noticed something, but no one wants to think about it.

Everyone returned to their common rooms in silence. No one spoke, but Ivan heard a lot of subtle discussions. The names of Dementors, Azkaban, Sirius Black, and Harry Potter were mentioned repeatedly. Knowing whether it was an illusion, he found that many people, especially students from wizarding families, subconsciously stayed away from Harry. They must have heard something from their parents.

Thirteen years ago, it wasn't a secret why Sirius Black was captured, it's just that no one wanted to talk about it.

This depressive atmosphere made Aiwen very uncomfortable. Everyone lacked understanding of dementors. It is not a good idea to spread rumors and let the panic continue to spread.He hesitated for a while, seeing that it was still early, and decided to strike while the iron was hot, and write a few series of articles introducing Dementors while all the little wizards were still interested.

He talked to Colin, then turned around and went to the library to search for information.

In the library, the administrator Mrs. Pince looked at Ivan suspiciously. She obviously still had an impression of this child.

Last semester, this student almost went through the entire library in just one year, from the simplest introductory spells to the advanced taboo magic, most of the knowledge is not what a child of this age should be Mastered.

Mrs. Pince shook her head, thinking that when she was still in the second grade, she couldn't do anything but make the wand shine, and this child...

She still remembered the headmaster's reaction when she told Dumbledore about it.

Dumbledore actually told her calmly to ignore it, and he even allowed the child to check the books in the restricted section, which was incredible.

In Mrs. Pince's opinion, Dumbledore must be out of his wits.

She wouldn't be surprised if this child became a dark wizard in the future.Take a look at the books he came to find this time, they are all about dementors.

Seeing the name of this evil creature, Mrs. Pince shuddered unconsciously. It was too terrifying. Which normal second-year student would come to find books about this dark creature on the first day of school? !

Ivan didn't know his image in Mrs. Pince's eyes, and he had already equated it with the dark wizard.

When he returned to the common room with a dozen heavy magic books in his arms, he found that everyone except Hermione had gone back to their bedrooms to sleep.

"You're back!" Hermione looked up at Ivan, pointing to the steaming cup in front of her and said, "I heard from Colin that you went to the library to find information about dementors, so I decided to Wait a minute, here's my hot chocolate for you!"

"Thank you!" Ivan gratefully picked up the cup and took a sip. This feeling is very good. After a hard night in the library, someone came back for him...

Before he could swallow the second sip, he spit it out immediately, with a painful expression on his face. There was no sugar in this cup of hot chocolate, and the taste was too bitter.

As if Ivan had expected this kind of reaction, Hermione smiled and said, "When I need to hit the energy, this thing is very helpful for refreshing!"

The same cup was placed in front of her, half-drunk already.

Ai Wen forced himself to take another sip, his stomach churned for a while, but he did concentrate a lot. He saw that Hermione was repeatedly marking the time on a piece of parchment, and asked a little strangely, "Hermione, where are you now?" What are you doing?"

"Just sort out my class schedule. You know, I have a lot of classes this semester, and I'm afraid..."

With the light of the fire, Ivan saw Hermione's full schedule.

If he hadn't known that Hermione had a Time-Turner, he would have thought she had mixed up her timetable.

For example, at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, she has a Divination class; at the same time, she has a Muggle Studies class.

"You've filled up almost all of your time!" Ivan said worriedly, "Don't be stupid, Hermione! Even with the help of a time converter, you can't take so many classes at the same time. In the long run, your body will resist Can't live."

"Oh, yes, you already know that, after all, you used this thing last year." Hermione took out a pocket watch-shaped item from inside her clothes, "Don't worry about me, Ivan, I have completely discussed with Professor McGonagall. Talk about it!"

"Don't think I don't know your plan. You did think of everything, but you ignored your physical condition." Aiwen said hurriedly, "Hermione, you are not a ghost, you can't stay awake for 24 hours. Let me see , some courses you don't need to take at all. For example, Divination and Arithmancy have repetitions, and Muggle Studies are completely useless to you."

"But it will be fascinating to study them from the perspective of the magic world." Hermione looked at Ivan sincerely.

"Listen to me, you have to give up a few doors..."

"No, I want to try!" Hermione insisted. "You know, we are all Muggle-born wizards, and I want to prove that I am no worse than everyone else."

"You don't need to prove anything, you are already the best!"

"Not enough, Percy got twelve OWLS certificates last year; and, compared to you, I still..." Hermione's voice trailed off.
