Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

Although he didn't know what other little wizards understood by the word 'night tour', Rollo didn't have any worries about it.

He had already missed dinner time, and there were not even leftovers in the empty auditorium. However, such a small difficulty could not stop Rollo.

It's too far to go to Hagrid's place for a meal, and there's no 24-hour canteen in the snake courtyard's lounge, but there is one place that Luo Luoman wants to check in.

There is a decorative painting hanging on the wall just two corners from the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room.

"Hey hey hey~ little ghost head." A little man floating in the air with a pointed hat let out a mean laugh. He pointed forward and said to Rollo:

"The kitchen door is right here. You scratch the pear and the door will open. I won't accompany you in, Mr. Peeves, lest those elves scream and worship me and scare you into trouble."

Although he said so, Peeves also knew that he would get a burst of screams when he went in, but those were the screams of the elves who were frightened by him. Then, these damn elves secretly If he went to inform Barrow, he would not have a good life.

But in front of this new little brother, Peeves felt that he needed to maintain a good demeanor and not be seen clearly, right?

This prankster elf who doesn't care about anyone in Hogwarts except Dumbledore and Bloody Barrow actually has a very good attitude towards Rollo. After all, Peeves is willing to make friends with the little wizard who he likes. friend's.

"Thank you, Peeves. If you hadn't led the way, I would have had to go back hungry."

"Of course, Mr. Peeves knows everything about Hogwarts. There is nothing I don't know about."

Peeves, who had his hands on his waist, spoke proudly, patted his chest and said generously: "Since I have accepted you as my uncle Peeves' little follower, then your business is my business. "

"I will talk to Barrow when I go back. As long as you don't make too much trouble, how about he not come forward?"

"real?!"

The overjoyed Peeves flew in front of Rollo with a swoosh, and did somersaults happily. If Bloody Barrow wouldn't trouble him in the future, then where else would Hogwarts be besides the principal's office? Is it because he can't cause trouble?

"If things get too big, that won't work. After all, Barrow only takes care of me a little, and I can't affect him too much."

"Enough is enough!"

"Uncle Peeves is very sensible. It's not a big deal to tease those little ones. As long as Barrow doesn't come out because of this, I can vent my anger, especially the one named...Perseus That guy, he has threatened me several times, Mr. Peeves is going to teach him a lesson this time!"

"I'm not afraid of that bastard Barrow the Bloody..." Peeves looked around, and then continued: "That bastard Barrow! Mr. Peeves just doesn't want to argue with him."

"Okay, little Rollo, Peeves is going to have some fun with those fools who are wandering around at night."

After saying these words, Peeves instantly disappeared into the air and transformed into a form even more mysterious than a ghost.

There was a faint and treacherous laughter echoing in the empty corridor, getting farther and farther away from Rollo.

"Peeves...a mischievous elf who can change reality and reality at will. He is even more special than a ghost...I wonder if he can...marry a ghost creature like a dementor or something?" of?"

Thinking of some strange things in his mind, Rollo scratched the pear on the portrait and opened a hidden door.

"good evening."

When Rollo walked into the mysterious kitchen of Hogwarts, his arrival attracted the attention of all the elves.

"Good evening, Mr. Rollo."

A very cheerful voice greeted Rollo, and an elf wearing a Hogwarts uniform walked out of the elf team, but he had an extra Hogwarts badge embroidered on his chest than the other elves. , age is also much older.

"I am the kitchen manager at Hogwarts. You can call me Eugene. It is an honor to serve you, sir."

"Would you like a medium-rare steak, shrimp mashed potatoes and a mushroom cream soup for dinner?"

The elf named Eugene said quickly, and the dishes he mentioned were indeed Rollo's preferred dishes for dinner.

"Thank you, but how did you know I wanted to eat these?"

"We are paying attention because you give us a different feeling from others. You are a handsome and gentle person. We all care about whether you are happy or not. I hope the meals in the past few days have not disappointed you."

Eugene bowed deeply, and the elves on the side also bowed and saluted. Their eyes were very clear, without any unnecessary impurities.

"Thank you very much, everyone, I'll do as you say, but I'd like to have an extra crispy beef pie tonight, is that okay?"

"Of course, please wait a moment, we will prepare it for you."

The elves quickly cleaned up a clean table and chairs for Rollo to rest for a while. Several of the most skilled elves prepared dinner for Rollo, while the remaining one or two hundred elves looked at him happily. Rollo.

Being stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes was naturally a little stressful, but after a while, Rollo, who chatted with the elf about life at Hogwarts, quickly adapted to all this.

The elves are responsible for cleaning every place in Hogwarts and undertake almost all the logistical work. Naturally, their knowledge of Hogwarts is extraordinary.

In just less than 10 minutes of chatting, Rollo learned from them at least twenty practical secret passages, which can be used to travel quickly in the huge castle, and it takes more than half the time to take the normal route. time.

If a little wizard were allowed to explore alone, he might not be able to find all these secret passages even if he traveled at night for seven years.

The sumptuous dinner ended with a pleasant chat. Rollo left the Hogwarts kitchen with a pie wrapped in brown paper and a bag of dried fish. He was not planning to rest in the dormitory yet. He turned around and went up the stairs, heading towards the secret passage to the principal's office on the third floor.

"This is a gift for you."

At a corner, Rollo knelt down and put down the bag of dried fish. Mrs. Loris was squatting on the ground enjoying Rollo's caress. This smart cat definitely has the blood of a cat, but it's a pity that it is too He lost weight, which made Luo Luo feel a little distressed.

"I asked the elf to send you a piece of dried fish every day. You have to eat well. It will be healthier to gain weight, right?"

Mrs. Loris, who didn't respond to Rollo with a cry, rubbed her head against Rollo's hand and enjoyed its delicious food.

"Then I won't disturb you. See you next time."

Rollo pushed open the secret door and walked into the secret passage. On the side, Mrs. Loris, who had finished her late-night snacks, stretched lazily and disappeared into the darkness on brisk cat steps, leading the An erratic oil lamp went in another direction.

"Pile of cockroaches."

Rollo tried to say the password he heard last time. Fortunately, Dumbledore did not change the password this week. The gargoyle statue guarding the door moved out of the way, allowing Rollo to knock on the principal's office door. wooden door.

"Please come in."

Sure enough, Dumbledore, who was not sleeping, had not even changed into his pajamas. At this moment, not only Dumbledore was in the principal's office, but Professor McGonagall, Professor Kettleburn and Hagrid were all in the principal's office.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Sad Wind, it's already time to go back to the dormitory. Why are you here?"

"Just call me Rollo, Professor McGonagall."

Faced with Professor McGonagall's somewhat stern questioning, Rollo, who was not at all flustered, still had time to swallow the last bite of the beef pie, crumpled the brown paper into a ball and put it in his pocket.

"Hogwarts school rules don't prohibit students from going out at night, right?"

"But the premise is not to get caught." Dumbledore added the following sentence with a smile, "But I think I can make an exception today, it is a rest day."

Dumbledore glanced at Professor McGonagall with a smile, and did not hear her objections. After all, everyone here had a good impression of Rollo.

"But why did you come to see me tonight?"

Dumbledore waved and let Rollo come to his side.

"Maybe for this."

Rollo stretched out his hand and pointed at the table surrounded by a few of them. On it was a detailed 3D physical map of Hogwarts.

"I saw a very interesting book in the Ravenclaw library today. It's a book about tracing the origins of dragons. I feel that the things in it are worth studying. I'm not here to urge you to start work quickly. Well."

Luo Luo spread his hands and smiled: "It seems that I came at the right time. We are now choosing a location, right?"
