Hogwarts Scholar System

Now Maple and Harry are also good friends. After Harry met Professor McGonagall and Gryffindor Quidditch Captain Wood, Harry told Ron and Maple about becoming the secret seeker.

But obviously Hogwarts classmates cannot keep secrets. Although it is unknown when the news came out, everyone knew the secret before Harry participated in the first game.

Since this secret will be leaked sooner or later, Maple doesn't mind if the news is made public sooner.Because Maple discovered that after he changed the historical plot, it was unclear whether the midnight duel between Malfoy and Harry would still take place.

And once it is announced that Harry has become the first first-year Seeker in the history of Hogwarts, and all this is thanks to Malfoy, Malfoy, who is jealous and angry, will definitely not be able to help but challenge Harry. .

Three days later, Maple finally began to "accidentally" spread Harry's secret.And indeed, as he expected, during these three days, the midnight duel that Maple expected never happened.

"Malfoy, thank you so much for letting Harry and Gryffindor get a big gift. With Harry's talent in flying, your Academy Cup this year may be in doubt." After the news that Harry is the Seeker After the news spread, Maple decisively found an opportunity to ridicule Malfoy.Seeing Malfoy's instantly turned ugly, Maple and Ron, who was also happy about Malfoy's depression, smiled at each other and left the restaurant.

"Do you dare to challenge me alone, Potter!" Malfoy said, "If you have no objection, it will be tonight. A duel between wizards. Only wands, no contact, and you are not allowed to see Maple. Help. What’s the matter? I’m guessing you haven’t heard of wizards’ duels?”

"Of course he's heard of it," Ron said, turning suddenly. "I am his assistant, who is your assistant?"

Malfoy looked at Crabbe and Goyle, sizing them up one by one.

"Crabbe," he said, "how about midnight? We'll meet you in the trophy room, where the doors are never locked."

After Malfoy left, Ron and Harry looked at each other.

"What's the wizard duel?" Harry asked, "What do you mean by being my assistant?" "Oh, if you die, the assistant will take over." Ron said lightly, finally Started eating his cooled pie again.He caught the look on Harry's face and hurriedly added,

"But you know, people only die in regular duels with real wizards. The best you and Malfoy can do is shoot sparks at each other. You two know too little magic to really hurt each other. But. , I dare say he thought you would refuse."

"What if I wave my wand and nothing happens?"

"Then throw away your wand and punch him in the nose," Ron suggested.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

They both looked up and saw it was Hermione Granger.

"Can we let people sit here and eat?" Ron said.

Hermione ignored him, but said to Harry: "I heard what you and Malfoy said."

"I knew you were good at it," Ron muttered.

"You must not wander around the school at night. Think about it, if you are caught, how many points you will lose to Gryffindor, and you will definitely be caught. You are really too selfish."

"This really has nothing to do with you," Harry said.

"Goodbye," said Ron.

Ending the day with a duel was not a happy ending in any way, and he had long wanted to hammer Malfoy to the ground.Harry lay on his bed and thought, although this may be breaking a school rule, does Gryffindor care?

In addition, when he thought of Malfoy's sarcastic face appearing in front of him, Harry decided not to give in. This was a great opportunity for him to defeat Malfoy face to face, and he couldn't let it go.

"It's 11:30," Ron finally whispered, "we have to go."

They put on their robes, picked up their wands, and tiptoed through the rooms above the castle, down the spiral staircase, and into the Gryffindor common room.There were still some remaining fires flickering in the fireplace, and the armchairs seemed to be turned into black shadows.They were just about to reach the portrait aisle when they heard someone on the chair nearest to them say: "I can't believe you did that, Harry."

A light flickered on, it was Hermione Granger.She was wearing a pink nightgown and frowning.

"You!" Ron said angrily, "Go back to bed!"

"I almost told your brother," Hermione snapped back, "Percy - he's a prefect, he'll stop this." Harry couldn't believe there was such a nosy person. "Let's go," he said to Ron.He pushed away the portrait of the Fat Lady and climbed in through the hole.Hermione wouldn't give in so easily.She crawled into the cave entrance after Ron, shouting at them in a low voice like an angry goose.

But what she said was ignored by both Harry and Ron.Then when Hermione looked back, she found that the Fat Lady's portrait was missing. She didn't know which portrait in the castle she had gone to visit, and Hermione was locked out of Gryffindor Tower.

Hermione became even more angry now, but Harry and Ron ignored her completely and insisted on dueling Malfoy. Hermione finally followed them and went with them.

They arrived at the trophy room, only to find that neither Malfoy nor Crabbe was there.Soon Filch and his cat Mrs. Lorris arrived, and Harry and the others discovered that they had been tricked.

Dumbledore, who could view most of the castle at any time, took advantage of the situation and began to arrange to lead Harry and the others to the corridor on the fourth floor, where the Philosopher's Stone was.

Without the burden of Neville, Harry and the three of them quickly escaped from Filch's sight, but just as the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, Peeves suddenly jumped out.When he saw them, he screamed with joy.

"Shut up, Peeves - please - you'll get us kicked out."

Peeves chuckled.

"Annoying freshmen, wandering around in the middle of the night. Tsk, tsk, tsk, naughty, naughty, you will be arrested."

"No, as long as you don't betray us, Peeves, please."

"You should tell Filch, you should," Peeves said seriously, but there was a mischievous glint in his eyes. "This is for your own good, you know?"

"Get out of here," said Ron savagely, and hit Peeves hard, which turned out to be a big mistake.

"Students don't sleep!" Peeves roared, "Filch, come here quickly, there are three students here!"

They ducked past Peeves and ran for their lives.Watching Peeves floating behind them, they kept changing directions, but they didn't notice that Peeves no longer roared loudly to attract Filch's attention.

The three Harrys, who were completely unaware of all this, ran as fast as they could in the corridor of the Charms class until they reached the end of the corridor and slammed into a door, which was locked.

"It's over!" Ron whimpered, seeing Peeves floating around the corner and pushing the door desperately. "It will definitely attract Filch, and then we will be finished!"

"Open the Alaho Cave!" The first-year wizard easily opened the door where the Sorcerer's Stone was. It was hard to imagine that Dumbledore didn't do it on purpose.

After Hermione opened the door with a charm, they rushed in, quickly closed the door, put their ears to it, and listened.

At this time, Peeves' mission is completed, and it is time for him to leave.Peeves didn't seem to realize that he had just been chasing three first-year students, and just drifted away.

"I think we'll be fine, Ron, what's the matter?"

Harry turned around and saw clearly Hagrid's three-headed dog, Fluffy.

Three heads, three pairs of vicious eyes, three noses, and three drooling mouths. The saliva hung like sticky ropes from the yellowed dog teeth. Now they knew where they were. Now, I also know why entry is prohibited here.

With a deafening roar, they immediately exited the room, returned to the corridor and ran away. They did not see Filch and Peeves, let alone not care at all. They just wanted to escape from the sight of the monster as soon as possible.They didn't stop until they reached Gryffindor Tower, and by then the Fat Lady had returned.

"Where have you all been?" asked the Fat Lady, looking at their robes hanging on their shoulders and their red faces dripping with sweat.

"Don't ask, pig-nose! Pig-nose!" Harry gasped, as the portrait spun forward and away.They stumbled into the common room and slumped tremblingly into armchairs.

"What the hell do they want to do? Lock up something like that in a school!" Ron finally said. "If there was ever a dog that needed training, it's that one."

Harry and Ron were just scared, but Hermione, in her panic, also found Hagrid's Lu Wei standing on a trap door.

After Hermione got angry at Harry and Ron, she went back to her dormitory to sleep.She didn't notice that a purple bat had just flown into Gryffindor Tower through the window.And during their desperate run, this purple bat kept watching them in the dark, watching their jokes.

Hermione's words reminded Harry, and he immediately thought of the thing that Hagrid took away from Gringotts, something that a dark wizard would not hesitate to break into Gringotts to get.

Harry remembered Hagrid once saying that if you wanted to hide something, Gringotts was the safest place in the world, probably except for Hogwarts.

But, what exactly is it? Harry, whose curiosity was aroused, couldn't help but wonder.
