Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Can you believe in such unlucky luck? There are so many trees, but we bumped into the one that can hit people!" Ron grimaced, leaning over to pick up the mouse, whose wand broke when it landed It is connected only by a few pieces of wood.

He looked back at the ancient tree, which was still waving its branches menacingly.

"Let's go!" Harry said wearily, "We'd better go to the school, Ivan still needs to be sorted, and the time is just in time."

The arrival was not as successful as originally imagined. The three boys had stiff limbs, cold and pain.They grabbed the broken box and started dragging it up the grassy slope toward the two oak gates.

"Look, the banquet has already begun!" Ron said, pointing to a bright window in the auditorium in the distance, "Hey, we'd better hurry up, I saw Professor McGonagall took out the sorting hat, and the sorting hat is about to begin." Sorted!"

Harry and Ivan looked into the window together in the direction of Ron's finger.

In the spacious and bright auditorium, countless candles stopped in the air, and below were four long tables surrounded by people. The golden plates and goblets on the tables were shining, and the stars on the ceiling complemented each other.

Ivan had read in "A Piece of Hogwarts School History" that the ceiling was enchanted to reflect the sky outside.

Across the densely packed black pointed Hogwarts hats, Ivan saw the freshmen entering the auditorium in a long line with fear.Ginny was among them, her face was pale, and she looked around from time to time as if looking for herself.

Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall, bespectacled and with hair pulled tightly into a bun, placed the famous Hogwarts Sorting Hat on the stool in front of the new students.

Professor McGonagall began to say his name, and a very small gray-haired boy was called to the front and put the Sorting Hat on.

"Go quickly, it takes 5 minutes to walk through the corridor to the auditorium from here, I hope you don't encounter Peeves."

"Wait!" Harry whispered suddenly. "There's an empty seat on the teacher's bench. Where's Snape?"

"Who knows, maybe he's sick!" said Ron hopefully.

"Maybe he's gone," said Harry excitedly, "because he didn't teach Defense Against the Dark Arts again!"

"Maybe he got fired!" Ron became excited. "Everybody hates him, you know!"

"Maybe, he is standing outside the gate, waiting for us to explain to him why he didn't come by the school train." Ivan sighed heavily.

He saw a thin, gray-skinned man with a hooked nose and black-haired man with oily long hair hanging down his shoulders. He was standing on the steps outside the gate of the castle, looking at them coldly.

The smile on Snape's face told Ivan that the situation of the three of them was very bad.

"Ah, look who I met, the famous Harry Potter, and his two good friends." With a slight, low hiss, Ivan saw Professor Snape's disgusted eyes Sweeping over himself, "You must think the school train is not enjoyable enough, and you want to play something exciting, don't you?"

"Sir, we don't, it's the partition wall at King's Cross, which..."

"Quiet!" said Snape coldly, "come with me!"

They followed Snape up the steps into the empty, echoing hallway lit by torches.The smell of food wafted from the Great Hall, but Snape led them away from the warmth and light, and down the narrow stone staircase to the dungeon.

"Sir, we have to go to the auditorium, and Ivan has to sort the house." Harry said bravely.

"Quiet!" Snape interrupted Harry again. He opened a door in the cold corridor, pointed inside and said, "Go in!"

As Snape watched, the three boys trembled into his office.

The walls were dark, and on shelves along the walls were many large glass jars floating with disgusting liquids of various colors.The fireplace was empty and dark.

Snape closed the door and turned to look at the three of them.

Like a viper observing its prey, he asked coldly after a long time, "What did you do to the car?"

"What?!" Ron was dumbfounded, he didn't know why Snape knew about cars, could he be able to read other people's minds.

"Weasley, although your empty brain never harbors any illusions." Snape unfolded a copy of "Prophet Japan" that day, "But obviously, you have been seen!"

He showed them the headline in the newspaper: Ford Anglias Fly, Muggles Amazed.

There was a sneer on Snape's face, and he read aloud: "Two Muggles in London are sure they saw an old car fly over the post office building... At noon in Norfolk, Mrs. Hettibelis was drying her clothes. ... Mr Angus-Fleet of Peebles reported to the police ... that there were six or seven Muggles."

"I remember your father working in the Misuse of Muggle Substances Division?" He looked up at Ron, grinning even more menacingly. "Gee, his own son..."

Ivan noticed that the expressions of Harry and Ron were very frustrated. They seemed to have just thought that if someone found out that Mr. Weasley had enchanted the car, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Also!" continued Snape, "while inspecting the garden, I found that a very valuable Whomping Willow appeared to have suffered considerable damage."

"That tree did us more damage!" Ron blurted out.

"Quiet, Weasley!" Snape snapped again, his eyes turned to Ivan, "And you, Mr. Mason, I think you have discovered that it is not a wise choice to be the savior's follower, I miss you Will be the first student ever to be expelled from Hogwarts on the first day of school."

"No, you can't fire Ivan!" Harry shouted.

"Obviously, I have the right!" Snape turned his gaze back to Harry and Ron, "As for you two, it's a pity that you are not students of my academy, and I have no right to make the decision to expel you. I Go now and fetch the true possessor of this delightful privilege, and you wait here."

Harry looked at Snape's back with a pale face. He wanted to comfort Ivan, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. If Snape called Professor McGonagall, he and Ron would be fine. where to go.

She might have been a little fairer than Snape, but she was just as stern as hell.

If Ivan is expelled by Snape, he and Ron will definitely receive the same punishment from Professor McGonagall. He is not sure where he should go after leaving Hogwarts. The Dursleys will definitely not welcome him His own, maybe he could follow Hagrid and become the school gamekeeper.

While Harry was thinking wildly, Professor McGonagall followed Snape in.

Her lips were pursed tightly, and she raised her wand as soon as she came in. The three boys flinched in fright, but she just lit the empty fireplace, and the fire burst into flames immediately.

Chapter 11 The Late Sorting Ceremony

Ai Wen didn't worry at all about whether he would be fired.

This is the benefit of knowing the plot, unless Voldemort sneaks into Hogwarts disguised as Dumbledore.Otherwise, nothing will happen to them, and even points will not be deducted.

But seeing Snape standing aside with a sullen face, Ivan knew that his hatred in the other party's heart must have reached [-]%, which is indeed a pity.

In fact, he was very interested in both Professor Snape himself and the subject of potions.But judging from the current situation, as long as he continued to hang out with Harry, Snape would be classified as a hostile camp.

Just as Ivan was thinking about how to get along with Snape, Professor Dumbledore walked in.

Ivan immediately looked curiously at the greatest white wizard of his time, the headmaster of Hogwarts, an old man with flowing silver-white long hair and beard.

I have to admit that Dumbledore's temperament is very prominent.

However, his expression at this time was unusually serious, looking down at them along the bridge of his crooked nose, a pair of sharp and bright blue eyes filled with silent reproach.

"Please explain why you did this?"

Facing Dumbledore's gaze, Harry and Ron paled, as if they had been hit by the Whomping Willow.

Looking down at his knees, Harry recounted everything.He went into great detail, but didn't mention that the car belonged to Mr. Weasley, as if the three of them had stumbled across a flying car in a dirty London street.

Ivan is sure that Dumbledore will see through it at a glance.

He paid attention to Dumbledore's expression, and then he saw that the other party blinked at him suddenly.Ai Wen hurriedly lowered his head, only to realize that his performance was too relaxed, and he didn't look like he just got into trouble at all.

"Professor, you can't expel Ivan, he had already persuaded us to use Hedwig to deliver letters to the school." Harry concluded pitifully, "It's all my fault, I pulled him into the car."

"And me, I started the car." Ron said desperately, "This matter has nothing to do with Ivan, let's go get things now."

"What are you talking about, Weasley?" cried Professor McGonagall.

"We got fired, didn't we?" said Ron.

"Not today, Mr. Weasley," said Dumbledore, "but I must make you feel the seriousness of my actions, and I will write to your families tonight. I must also warn you that if there is any more such behavior , I can only fire you."

Snape's expression was as if he had heard that Christmas had been cancelled. He cleared his throat and said, "Professor Dumbledore, these three students ignored the law restricting the use of magic by underage wizards, and made a serious attack on a precious tree. Ancient trees have caused serious damage, and acts of this nature, as a matter of course..."

"Not exactly, Severus, I think you heard what Harry said just now, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Mason!" Dumbledore said calmly, "As for the two of them, let McGonagall It is up to the professor to decide their punishment, they are students in her academy after all, and she should be responsible."

"I have to go back to the banquet, Minerva." He turned to Professor McGonagall. "Mr. Mason is going to be sorted, and I have a few announcements to make."

"But, Professor!" Snape continued unwillingly.

"Come on, Severus, there's a custard flan that looks good, I'd like to try it."

Ivan followed the two of them to the auditorium, Dumbledore went up and said a few words, and the originally noisy auditorium suddenly became extremely quiet.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, turned their eyes to Ivan who was standing under the teacher's seat, and looked sideways, hoping to see his appearance clearly.

Aiwen swallowed, his palms were full of sweat.This feeling of being watched by everyone is very bad, as if he has become a cherished animal, surrounded by people watching in the zoo, he can hear a suppressed discussion coming from around him.

"Look, it's the boy who disappeared just now!"

"Oh my god, he's covered in blood. Could it be that he just finished fighting the troll?"

"How is it possible, you didn't read today's "Daily Prophet", he came to school with Harry Potter in a flying car."

"A flying car, that's pretty cool!"

"Also, I just eavesdropped on the discussion of the ghosts. They ran into the Whomping Willow."

The discussion was still going on, but Ivan was not in the mood to listen to what they had to say. He saw Professor Snape take out the sorting hat and walk to the high chair in the middle.

"Ewen Mason!" Snape said sullenly.

Because Professor McGonagall hadn't come back yet, he had to take over from her to preside over the sorting ceremony. He pressed the wizard hat on Ivan's head hard.

In the next second, all the surrounding sounds disappeared.

"Aha!" Aiwen heard a small, sharp voice, "A late freshman, you can tell, very smart, very talented, and not a bad heart, you should go to Ravenclaw, in There, the brightest minds tend to be the most promising."

Ivan nodded, Ravenclaw, this is a good choice.

I heard that their college has its own library, which contains many books that are not published to the public, which can help me learn quickly.And Ivan also knows that Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw has in-depth research on soul magic, and there may be notes left by her there, which are very helpful in fighting Voldemort.

"However, I just heard about you." The sorting hat continued to wriggle on Ivan's head, "I've been there for many years, and I haven't seen any freshman enter school in such an impressive way, very Have courage, I think Gryffindor might suit you better."

Before Ivan could express his opinion, the sorting hat on his head screamed loudly, "Gryffindor!"

Taking off the sorting hat, Ivan saw Snape glaring at him fiercely.

He couldn't remember how he got to the Gryffindor table, but he heard cheers as loud as thunder, as if he had become a triumphant hero.

"It's great!" A dark-skinned boy stood up and shook hands with himself. Ivan recognized him as the twins' friend Li Qiaodan. People will talk about it for years!"

"Good job!" The Gryffindor table entered into a festive and cheerful atmosphere, and senior students that Ivan had never seen before came to shake hands with him.

After a few seconds, Fred and George pressed forward and asked together, "Why didn't you call us back?"

Aiwen didn't know how to answer, but fortunately they were pushed away by others, and he saw a thin, gray-haired boy looking at himself with a Muggle camera.

"Hello, Ai, Aiwen, I, my name is Colin Creevey, and I am a freshman this year just like you." Colin said timidly and short of breath, "I heard that you and Harry Potter were in the car together. It's so cool to come to school, can I take a picture of you?"

He held the camera and looked at Ivan expectantly.

"no problem!"

However, before Ivan could pose, the person in front of him was replaced by Hermione. She looked as unhappy as Percy in the distance.

"It's ridiculous, why didn't you take the school train." Hermione's tone was almost as severe as that of Professor McGonagall, "Or, did you really fly here?"

"Yes, Hermione!" Ivan nodded cautiously.

"My God, how dare you..." Hermione began to complain.

Fortunately, it didn't last long, and the person next to Ivan was replaced by Ginny, which made him heaving a sigh of relief.

"Ginny, you're not here to tell me like Hermione, are you?"

"Don't blame Hermione, she didn't see you on the train, she was so anxious!" Ginny asked worriedly, "Where are Ron and Harry, how are they doing?"

"They're very good." Ivan will take a pudding from the plate in front of him, "I'll tell you later, let me eat something first, you know, I haven't had anything since noon eat."

However, before he stuffed the pudding into his mouth, all the food on the plate in front of him disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared before, and the banquet was over.

"Oh, no!" Ivan collapsed on the chair weakly.

Chapter 12 Hogwarts Wizardry

Half an hour later, Harry and Ron left Snape's office and walked down the familiar path to Gryffindor Tower.

It was quiet in the castle, the dinner party was over.

"I don't know how Ivan is doing, I really hope we can go to the banquet too."

"Professor McGonagall doesn't want us to show off."

Ron wisely said, "She doesn't want people to think that driving a flying car to school is an honor."

"Yes, but at least we should let us know which college Aiwen will be assigned to."

"Needless to say, he must be assigned to Gryffindor just like Ginny."

"That's not necessarily the case. He's so smart, he might be assigned to Ravenclaw." Harry looked a little worried. After getting along with him during the summer vacation, he liked Ivan very much, and he also hoped that Ivan could be in the same academy as him. .

"As long as it's not Slytherin, Ravenclaw is also a good choice."

The two walked and chatted until they climbed a narrow set of stone steps to the corridor of the secret entrance to Gryffindor Tower, which was hidden behind a painting of a fat man in pink silk. lady.

"Password?" asked the Fat Lady as they approached.

"Oh!" Harry couldn't answer.
