The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

"Hiccup~~"

"Ron, eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

He quickly stuffed the chicken legs into his mouth and pulled them out again. His two hands took turns to fight, and a mountain of chicken bones piled up on the dining table soon.

"what happened to him?"

Hermione looked at Ron's gobbling posture, so hungry in the early morning?

"Hermione, just now, Ron beat Filch, and he suspected that Mrs. Norris ate his Scabbers."

"Scabbers? That big rat? Did he hit Filch?"

Hermione listened to Harry's words, her mind was full of doubts, that fat gray mouse, unless Ron brought it out, usually didn't bother to move, and Mrs. Norris might really not eat mice, because Filch's Always smelling like grilled fish, he was so kind to that cat, even better than himself.

The point is, Mrs. Norris ate Scabbers, so why was Filch beaten?

"Well, we found a pile of flesh and blood at the door of the dormitory this morning. It was covered with gray mouse fur and a pinch of dark gray cat fur. It belonged to Mrs. Norris. As for why Filch was beaten..."

When Harry said this, he didn't know what to say, and he looked at Ron helplessly.

"It was Mrs. Norris who did it. I lost Filch with my shoe and it was still light. If he hadn't been on patrol with that cat all day, Scabbers couldn't have been eaten at all! Scabbers' body was there, and there was still food on it." Evidence, he dare not admit it!"

Ron swallowed the chicken leg and expressed his thoughts angrily.

"Ron, cats are one of the natural enemies of mice, let alone Mrs. Norris eating Scabbers, you shouldn't hit Filch, even though it's his cat, he didn't mean it either. "

"Hermione, is my Scabbers just gone? Can't I blow off steam? No one is responsible for it?"

"The relationship between you and Banban is very good, but you chose the wrong way to vent it. You are also responsible for Banban's accident. If you keep him in a cage every night, then he will be fine. As for being responsible?"

"Of course someone is responsible for it. That's something the professor needs to be concerned about. If you beat Filch, the nature of this matter has completely changed. You are attacking the school staff, and the consequences are very serious."

Listening to Hermione's words, Ron felt a little up and down, especially the last very serious problem.

"I won't be fired, will I?"

He asked Hermione cautiously, his mother's angry face had already appeared in his mind.

"Hmm, you should be lucky, this is the wizarding world, as long as the other party is not disabled or dead, you will not be expelled, but confinement is definitely inevitable, the point is, you will make Gryffindor lose a lot of college points! "

Hermione said the last three words one by one.

Macon put down the tableware and looked at the relieved Ron. This guy really cared about that gray mouse. I wonder if he would be happy when he found out Scabbers' true identity?The middle-aged mouse was completely wrapped up.

"Ron Weasley!"

Professor McGonagall called Ron's full name from a long distance away, which made Ron, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly tense up.

"Come with me!"

Her voice was very serious, which made Ron startle the chicken leg in his hand, stood up tremblingly, and followed her out of the cafeteria.

It was also the first time Harry had seen such a serious Professor McGonagall, which made him more worried about Ron.

"Hermione, are you sure he won't be expelled? I think the professor's face is very bad."

"He just dropped Filch with his shoe and didn't use any magic. It'll be fine. Just think about his twin brothers."

Harry was relieved to hear Hermione mention the Weasley twins, the two who had kept Filch in the office and dumped shit.

Sure enough, after a while, Ron walked back decadently.

"How is it? Ron, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, thank you Harry, Gryffindor was deducted fifty points, and I'm going to face a full month of confinement, real confinement..."

After Madam Pomfrey's treatment, Filch returned to his office at night. The big bag on his head had disappeared. He couldn't wait to take out the letter paper, sat on the creaking broken chair and started writing letters.

Dear Secretary Fudge:

Your most loyal servant, Argus, pays you the highest respect.

Dumbledore was about to resume the Quidditch game, and Harry Potter received a Firebolt before that, but no one knew who sent it, which was very suspicious.

And Ron next to Potter, he actually had a 12-year-old mouse, but he framed me, Mrs. Norris would never eat that kind of thing, so I sacrificed two front teeth.

--- Argus Filch

Filch smiled darkly, revealing a pair of white front teeth, which were obviously different from other yellow and black teeth.

The letter was carefully folded, placed in a special envelope, and delivered by the Ministry of Magic's information owl.

After dinner, Harry returned to the dormitory without much interest, and Ron went to detention by himself, which made Harry very bored, and he lost the energy to go to the Room of Requirement for training.

Ron's confinement was from after dinner to the next morning, under the supervision of Professor Snape, which made Harry sigh that Ron's luck was really bad, and he was as lucky as himself.

Hogwarts, a dungeon somewhere in Slytherin.

"One chicken leg, two chicken legs, three chicken legs```"

With his upper body naked, Ron grasped the only small window in the dungeon with both hands, two rusty iron bars, and was doing pull-ups. As his body rose and fell, the muscles contracted and bulged, and the veins were exposed.

It was too dark here, the brightest place was here, the soft moonlight shining in through the window made him feel extraordinarily bleak.

He's going to live here till dawn, he'll go crazy if he doesn't find something to do...

"Harry! There's a Quidditch match tomorrow, Slytherin and Ravenclaw! That means it could be our turn next time."

"I just came from Professor McGonagall's office. I asked about the Firebolt. Professor McGonagall said that I would have to wait. I was very worried that it would delay our game."

Wood found Harry, who had just finished class, and told him about the Quidditch match and the broom.

"Wood, this matter cannot be rushed. Even without the broom, we can definitely win. We can't pin all our hopes on the Firebolt."

Harry comforted Wood, he had figured it out during this time, he would win with or without the Firebolt.

"Yes, you are right, then we will strengthen our training, so what are you waiting for, let's go now!"

In the Quidditch match on the second day, Ravenclaw and Slytherin fought inextricably. Although the Kitty Eagles used the Sweeping Seven Stars, it was no match for Slytherin's Nimbus 2001.

But their captain, Roger Davis, is also an athlete. His efficient command again and again made the Kitty Eagles score as much as the Little Snakes.

In the final fight for the Golden Snitch, Ravenclaw's Seeker Qiu Zhang showed some strength that gave Draco a headache. She was following too closely, and it was hard to imagine how the Sweeping Seven Stars was controlled by her. of.

In the end, it was Draco who managed to capture the Snitch, allowing Slytherin to win the match.
