Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Chapter 94 Filch's Office

"He needs to rest, and the three of you don't stay too long."

Madam Pomfrey looked at Ivan, Ron, and Hermione with dissatisfaction, focusing on the water stains and mud that kept falling from their clothes.

"Also, you send someone with me to bring over his nutritional medicine, which can help him replenish his strength!"

"I'll go."

Ivan saw that Ron seemed to have something to say to Harry, and this kind of work couldn't be done by a girl, so he got up and followed Madam Pomfrey out of the ward.

"I seem to see a lot of dementors?" Harry whispered, but his mind was thinking about the ominous appearance again.

"There are more than 100 dementors, Harry!" Hermione said in a trembling voice, "I was so scared that I didn't know what to do, and I was thinking about terrible things, thanks to Ivan and him The patron saint of God, let everyone wake up..."

She suddenly thought of Alvin's Patronus, which was exactly the same as the strange black cat she met at the Leaky Cauldron the night before school started.

Will there be any connection between the two? Hermione remembered that Ivan had told herself before that he had learned Animagus during the summer vacation, but he had been refusing to tell her what his deformed form was.When she saw Aiwen's patron saint for the first time on the train, she was a little skeptical. It looked too similar to the black cat she had seen before. Aiwen was hesitant at the time. Could it be that his Animagus form is Is that the strange black cat? !

Hermione's face turned red instantly at the thought of holding the cat in her arms.

God, if this is the case, she seemed to be still taking off in front of Ivan...

"Okay, Hermione!" Seeing Hermione's appearance, Ron jumped up angrily, and he shouted, "Ivan's Patronus is useless at all, it was Dumbledore who saved Harry, it was him Drive those dementors away."

"What..." Hermione froze for a moment.

"Everyone has seen that Ivan's patron saint rushed into those ghosts and disappeared completely without persisting for a few seconds." Ron said without looking at Hermione, "His patron saint is a little It didn't help, Harry passed out in the end and we lost the game!"

"But at that time, Ivan's Patronus brought courage and hope to everyone, so that others could release the Patronus Charm. It was also the first time I released a complete Patronus, like an otter."

"Don't you understand?!" Ron panted, "there are so many dementors there, if it weren't for Aven's Patronus, maybe Diggory would faint too, if so, Gran Fendo won't lose."

"What are you talking about, Ron!" Hermione said in surprise, "If Ivan hadn't bought time, Harry might have fallen down long ago?!"

Seeing Hermione's appearance, Ron became more and more irritable.

There was an inexplicable anger in his heart that wanted to come out. He was on the Quidditch pitch, and he only let the wand shine a little, and it disappeared immediately.

It is far from Aiwen's complete patron saint, not even Hermione.

It made him feel bad, and he cried out, "He's not helping, and it's the same without him, Percy is just slower..."

"Okay, can you two give me some silence!" Harry whispered.

Ron's voice dropped, and there was an embarrassing silence in the room.

Harry didn't understand what was going on with Ron and Hermione. They didn't care about their physical condition, but they were discussing whether Ivan's Patronus Charm was working, which was ridiculous.Especially these words were said behind Ivan's back, which made Harry feel very bad.

"Never mind those goddamn dementors, has anyone got my Nimbus 2000?"

At his words, Ron and Hermione glanced at each other quickly.

"Oh……"

"What?!" Harry suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Well, it was blown away when you fell," said Hermione hesitantly, "and then it hit, hit the Whomping Willow."

Harry felt a twinge in his heart. He had learned about the Whomping Willow last term, which could even smash Mr. Weasley's car to pieces.

"And then?" Harry whispered, dreading the answer.

"Harry, you know the Whomping Willow," said Ron. "It, it doesn't like being bumped into it."

"Professor Flitwick brought it back just before you woke up," Hermione said quietly.

She slowly reached for the schoolbag at her feet and turned it upside down.

A dozen pieces of wood and fragments of broom tails had fallen on the bed, the remains of Harry's faithful broomstick that had been defeated in the end.

When Ai Wen returned to the ward with the nutrient potion, he saw that none of the three people spoke, and the atmosphere was gloomy and terrifying.

Harry sat on the bed staring at the fragments of his broomstick in a daze, and Ron and Hermione sat silently in their chairs, as if they had just had an argument.

"Don't be sad, Harry!" Ivan put the potion on the table beside him, and comforted him, "You can use my Nimbus 2001, I gave it to you, you know that thing is good for me It's useless to say."

Ever since he received the broomstick, Ivan had thrown it under the bed. Except for being borrowed by Ron for a few times, he hadn't moved it.

"Thank you, Ivan! I just..." Harry looked at the fragments of his Nimbus 2000, not knowing what to say.

The broomstick was beyond repair and he should throw it away.But Harry didn't want to do that, he felt like he had lost a best friend.

It was after nine o'clock in the evening that Ivan, Ron, and Hermione left Harry.

As soon as they walked out of the school hospital, Ivan saw Ron walking towards the common room without looking back, waiting for himself and Hermione.

"What's the matter with him?" Ivan asked in surprise.

"Maybe those dementors have affected him!" Hermione didn't know what to say, and she wasn't sure whether to tell Ivan what Ron said.

Immediately afterwards, when she thought about the black cat, Hermione's face turned red instantly, and she didn't know whether to confirm this with Ivan.

In case I misunderstood, there may not be an inevitable connection between the patron saint and the Animagus. If that were the case, wouldn't it be too embarrassing.

Hermione thought about it for a while, but this matter should be kept as a secret for the time being, and she should investigate it clearly before talking about it.

Wait a minute, if that black cat is really Ivan, what should she do...

The two of them walked back in silence. Just as they turned the corner of the stairs on the second floor, they saw Nick, who was almost headless, emerge from the wall suddenly. hat, and a knee-length tunic with a wheel-shaped ruff.

He was as invisible as a wisp of smoke, and Ivan could look out at the dark sky and pouring rain through his body.

Because Nick has often provided press releases to the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" in the past year, Ivan and Hermione are already very familiar with him.

"Hello!" Nick said in a melancholy voice. "I've just heard what happened at the Quidditch ground. It's terrible. Is Harry all right?"

"He's fine, he just can't accept reality," Hermione replied in a low voice. "You know, this is the first time he's lost a Quidditch match."

"Yeah, yeah, Gryffindor is obviously the most powerful, but we always lose the game for various reasons." Nick took a deep breath, "This time it was actually because of the dementors , I have already..."

Before Nick finished speaking, Ivan saw a cat with yellow eyes suddenly come out from behind him, making a shrill cry.

It was Mrs. Norris, the scrawny gray cat favored by Filch the Caretaker as his second-in-command in his never-ending battles with the students.

"You better get out of here!" Nick said hastily. "Filch is in a bad mood. He has a cold. During the Quidditch match, someone turned his office upside down and things were thrown everywhere. He The murderer is being searched for in the castle."

"You're right!" Ivan pulled Hermione and ran up the stairs in a hurry. It was almost bed time, and he didn't want to be stopped by Filch to ask again.

But that's weird, who could be making trouble in Filch's office? !

Fred and George might do this kind of thing, but they were still in a Quidditch match just now, so they obviously don't have time; Peeves is also possible, but it shouldn't be him, it's not his fault to run away without leaving a name style.

Who else but them? !

Nick said that Filch's office had been turned into a mess, maybe someone was looking for something in it, but Filch confiscated a lot of things from the students.

Chapter 95 Banban's Death

Ivan pulled Hermione and ran back to the Gryffindor common room panting.

Although it was late, the common room was very lively.

Nobody was going to sleep, they were discussing the dementor attack on the Quidditch grounds.

Everyone was sad that Gryffindor had lost, but aside from the Quidditch players and a few die-hard fans, most of them put it behind them.

Anyway, as long as it is not losing to Slytherin, losing to Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff is not a particularly difficult thing to accept.

Now, they are more keen to communicate with each other on how to cast the Patronus Charm. Several students who cast the Patronus Charm with a full body were surrounded by people.Percy, for example, was proudly showing off his Patronus to a dozen juniors.

As soon as Ivan and Hermione entered, they were warmly welcomed.

The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak, and everyone surrounded the two of them in the center, asking for advice on how to use the Patronus Charm.

Especially Aiwen, many girls want to take another look at his patron saint.

Everyone is excited, except Ron.

Seeing Ivan and Hermione being welcomed, he seemed even more unhappy. He stared at the two for a long time before turning back to the dormitory alone with a sullen face.

In the next second, everyone heard a muffled shout from the boys' dormitory.

The atmosphere stagnated, and no one spoke in the entire common room, and everyone stared at the door full of fear.The hurried footsteps grew louder, and then, Ron jumped into everyone's sight, with a sheet under his belt.

"Look, look at this, look at this!" he growled, striding over to Hermione, shaking the sheet in front of her.

"Ron, what are you looking at?" Hermione asked confusedly.

"Scabbets, look, Scabbers!" Ron rudely stretched the sheet to Hermione's eyes.

Hermione dodged Ron, completely bewildered.

Ivan looked at the sheet that Ron was holding, and there was something red on it.It looks scary, like...

"Blood!" cried Ron through the panicked silence of the group. "It's dead! Do you know what else is on the floor?"

"No, I don't know." Hermione's voice trembled.

Ron threw something in front of Hermione, and they all leaned forward, and they saw long strands of ginger cat hair strewn across the floor.

"Ron, a few cat hairs don't mean anything, you should look for Scabbers under all the boys' beds, it might..." Hermione explained with a pale face.

"Enough is enough!" Ron yelled, startling everyone. "I've had enough of you, Hermione! You've always been like this and never intended Crookshanks to eat Scabbers." Seriously, never bothering to take a close look at Crookshanks. Now that Scabbers is dead, you're still pretending to think Crookshanks is innocent!"

"These cat hairs have probably been there since school started, and you've been prejudiced against it since the day Crookshanks jumped on your head in that Fantastic Beasts store," said Hermione stubbornly.

"Prejudice?!" Ron waved his arms wildly, "That monster, it jumped on my head, it ate Scabbers, should I praise it for doing the right thing?!"

"You know that's not what I meant..." Hermione's voice dropped again, tears welling in her eyes.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Ron continued to yell without trying to get around Hermione, "You've been treating me like a fool or an idiot who doesn't know anything, obviously I was the one who protected you in front of Malfoy, obviously I was the one who helped you contradict Snape in class, obviously it was me..."

Ron spoke faster and faster. Seeing Hermione's frightened and sad look, he felt pain in his heart, but he was also extremely happy, with a kind of pleasure after revenge.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered the dream he had been having recently, and Hermione who had been appearing in the dream all the time.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt his nose sore, and he tried not to cry.

"Okay, Ron?!" Seeing that something was wrong, Fred hurried over and said briskly, "Didn't you keep saying how annoying Scabbers is?! Besides, he has lost his mind for a long time. , it is consuming a little bit. It is probably better for it to die quickly, and it probably doesn't feel it..."

"That's right, Scabbers just eats and sleeps all day long, Ron, you said that yourself." George also said.

"He bit Goyle for us once!" said Ron miserably.

"That was its most glorious moment." Fred couldn't help smiling, "Let the scar on Goyle's finger be a permanent memory of it. Oh, well, Ron, and Hermione Reconcile, buy another mouse, what's the use of lamenting?"

"But..." Ron lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"Actually, I think Hermione's thinking is right. Scabbers may not be dead, it's just hiding somewhere." Ai Wen interjected as if realizing something.

There is no way Peter Pettigrew could just die like this, let alone be killed by Crookshanks.

He was just afraid of Sirius Black and wanted to escape by feigning death again.

With the help of tracking potions, Aiwen could feel that Ban Ban was hiding in the right corner of the common room, watching the good show in front of him.

He was about to go over and find him out, but just after taking two steps, Ron stopped him. His words just now seemed to anger Ron again.

"You think Scabbers isn't dead?!" Ron looked at Ivan angrily, panting heavily, as if ready to pounce on him at any moment, "I knew you would be on Hermione's side, it's all your fault, if it wasn't You suggest that Hermione buy Crookshanks so that Scabbers won't die!"

"What?!" Ivan said in surprise. All day today, he felt that something was wrong with Ron.

"That's right, it's all your fault, you killed Scabbers!" Ron clenched his fists, his tear-stained eyes were red, "It was the same on the Quidditch pitch just now, if it wasn't for your ridiculous guardian God's curse, Gryffindor won't lose."

Ivan froze in place, he didn't know how Ron came to this conclusion.

Ron's head must be out of order. This is too ridiculous. The reason why Gryffindor lost the game was because of his Patronus? !

"Ron, it was Ivan's patron saint who saved everyone!" Colin, who had been standing aside, whispered.

"Of course you think so, you are just this guy's ridiculous follower." Ron shouted at Colin, then quickly turned his head to look at Ivan, as if he was hypnotizing himself, muttering in a low voice indistinctly He said, "Tom Riddle is right, you killed Scabbers, you caused Gryffindor to lose the game, you took Hermione away, she should have belonged to me..."

There was no sound at all in the common room, and the junior students shrank back in fear. Everyone looked at Ron in silence, and no one could hear what he was saying.

Ivan took another step forward, he wanted to find Banban, maybe seeing it would calm Ron down.

As soon as he moved, he saw Ron standing opposite him suddenly rushing towards him.

Chapter 96

The scene was chaotic, and no one understood what was going on.

They saw Ron rushing to Ivan's body with red eyes, and the two fell to the ground and wrestled together, fisting and kicking together.
