Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

On the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, in a study-style office next to the corridor.

"Oh, Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall, who was still at work a second ago, raised her head and looked at the three people who knocked on the door and walked in. "If I remember correctly, you are now You should be on your way to class, right?"

"Professor McGonagall," Harry said hesitantly.

At this moment, Hermione pushed him from behind.

He staggered two small steps and stood in front of Professor McGonagall's desk.

Professor McGonagall frowned slightly when she saw this, but did not say anything, but waited patiently for Harry to speak.

After two seconds, Harry organized his words, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to tell all about his dream last night.

As he spoke, Professor McGonagall's expression became more and more serious.

Finally, when Harry finished speaking, her face was as dark as water.

Seeing Professor McGonagall's appearance, Harry lowered his head, moved his steps, and retreated back to Ron and Hermione.

Perhaps awakened from his thoughts by this action, Professor McGonagall raised her eyes and looked at them.

They found Harry and the three of them standing there with their chests in their hands and their heads bowed like children waiting for criticism.

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but smile:

"What happen to you guys?"

The three Harrys looked up.

"Why do you look like children who did something wrong, when in fact you did something right?" The smile on Professor McGonagall's face deepened slightly.

The three Harrys looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, especially Harry.

In fact, Harry was mentally prepared to be scolded before knocking on Professor McGonagall's office door.

Because, on the way here, he figured it out.

This matter is obviously not just his own personal matter, but a major event closely related to the entire Hogwarts and its teachers and students.

Thinking back to the things he had concealed for Amon twice before, Harry couldn't help but feel deeply annoyed.

I regret that I didn’t learn my lesson and made the same mistakes again.

Without Hermione's reminder, if Cassandra caused any damage to Hogwarts after this, he would never be able to forgive himself and would be wallowing in regret for the rest of his life.

Professor McGonagall saw that Harry was in low spirits, depressed, and slightly guilty, and roughly guessed what he was thinking.

So she opened her mouth and said:

"Although you didn't report it to the professor immediately after it happened..."

While speaking, Professor McGonagall paused and carefully observed Harry's expression. He found that Harry's expression tightened when he heard this, so he confirmed his guess.

The next moment, her tone was slightly raised, and the topic changed:

"But your courage still allows me to add ten points to each of you!"

As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, thirty rubies fell from the ball in the huge hourglass held by a majestic stone lion standing upright on its hind legs. It was placed in the entrance hall on the first floor of Hogwarts.

This made the number of gems accumulated in the ball under this hourglass suddenly exceed that of the other three hourglasses, and opened up a large gap.

At this time, in the office, the three Harrys who had received the reward from Professor McGonagall were completely in a state of surprise.

In fact, not only Harry, but also Hermione felt anxious when she walked to the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

It's not that she regretted her decision to urge Harry to "surrender", on the contrary, even though she felt a little uncomfortable inside, she had always been firm about her decision.

However, when her hand knocked on the office door, the nervousness of being about to face trial still surged into her heart unconsciously, gently grabbing her heart.

For this reason, when she walked into the office and saw Professor McGonagall's calm look, Hermione subconsciously packaged herself into a small transparency, tried her best to reduce her sense of existence, and pushed Harry to the front. .

Gu Xiao</span> Moreover, after Harry lowered his head as if admitting his mistake, she couldn't help but lower her head too.

As for Ron, he just saw the two friends lowering their heads. In order not to stand out and attract Professor McGonagall's attention, he also lowered his head.

Now, Professor McGonagall's reward has completely eliminated the three people's doubts.

The mental outlook of the three Harrys returned to their normal state instantly.

At the same time, Harry felt as if a weight had been lifted off his back, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but raise her lips when she saw this scene and said:

"Okay, gentlemen, Miss Granger."

"I think you guys were so excited that you forgot something."

The three Harrys were stunned when they heard this, and they were a little confused.

Hermione scratched her head, thought for two seconds, and suddenly screamed:

"Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

Harry and Ron suddenly perked up and looked at each other.

Then, they hurriedly said goodbye to Professor McGonagall, and like three reckless little deer, they rushed out of the office and ran towards the fourth floor of the castle.

In the office, Professor McGonagall, who was sitting on a chair, smiled and shook his head at the door that had just been closed.

But then her expression suddenly darkened again.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Professor McGonagall stood up and walked towards the fireplace.

Knott Manor, living room on the second floor.

Old Nott took a sip of black tea, then put down the tea cup, looked at the person on the single sofa opposite and said:

"Lyle, thank you for reminding me, but I don't think now is the time for us to meet."

"Albert, what do you mean?!" Avery, who came straight to Nott Manor after leaving the Ministry of Magic, obviously did not expect to get such an answer from the old Nott.

In this regard, Old Nott explained expressionlessly:

"Judging from the current situation, running around is undoubtedly a very irrational behavior. Our meeting will also affect the Ministry of Magic's nerves and cause unnecessary trouble."

"Haha." Avery sneered, "It seems that I am really out of date. I don't even know when you, Albert, became a lackey of the Ministry of Magic and allowed those dirty guys to ride on you."

"I want to know how many gold galleons they gave you to buy the glory of the Nott family?" Avery asked sarcastically.

"You were so impatient, Lyle, that you forgot the most basic assessment of the situation." Old Nott replied calmly without any change in his expression.

"It's a deal, they're giving us shelter to help us get out of the shadow of 'You-Know-Who', and we need to play along appropriately."

"That's a good deal, isn't it?"

At this point, Old Nott paused for a moment, and his eyes towards Avery became a little unpredictable.

"Don't tell me you're willing to crawl back under the mysterious man's black robe."

"You know, the only difference between that man and the dirty things in your mouth is that he is more powerful. Do you want to use this as a fig leaf?"

"Don't tell me that you don't know which of the two is in power is more in our interests. You should have seen that person's true face, right?"

As Old Nott asked the question, Avery's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said nothing.
