Dressed as a Hogwarts portrait

"Our little Ron."

"Look at him completely freaking out"

The red-haired boy suddenly came back to his senses, the freckles on his face were red, he pointed his nose and said with a look of embarrassment rather than pride: "Okay, George, Fred, you won! It's funny, Stein Founder of Raitlin! This prank...Harry?!"

Staring at the parchment, Harry said in an almost sleepwalking voice, "I think Ron, this picture might be real, look!"

"Hermione is in the common room. She just said she was going back to do her homework. It's nothing... Eh, what is this?" Ron suddenly raised his voice, "Hermione Granger is in the Astronomy Tower? Two Hermiones ?! Harry, I said earlier that there must be a problem..."

Ron's voice trailed off, staring at Harry.

Hermione who suddenly appeared, who didn't know how to come here, and Hermione who had to take two classes at the same time...

"Oh Merlin, I'm going crazy."

The twins laughed together, imitating Ron's dazed look: "Why can Hermione appear in two places at the same time?"

"Because there are two Hermiones."

"But why did Hermione become two? We only know one Hermione Granger."

"Because two Hermiones never appear at the same time."

"So we only know one."

"Maybe Hermione had two..."

Ron was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak at all, in fact he wanted to tell something, his face was completely flushed, he knew the twins were talking nonsense, how could Hermione have two, but he couldn't tell why.

Harry didn't continue to look at the two Hermione's names, but stared at the motionless black dot in the corridor on the second floor.

At the end of dinner time, a large number of students poured out of the auditorium, their black dots and names entangled and scattered towards the castle.Ravenclaw and Gryffindor live in the tower, and they inevitably have to go up.

One after another, passing here, Harry could even hear their cheerful chatting and laughing from the corner.

"George, Fred, I don't understand, if—in fact, I saw no one when I just passed there—if the man whose name stands for exists, why didn't everyone find out?"

An invisible person is more terrifying than last year's monster who didn't know what was hiding there.

"About that, little Harry. We've been working on it all week."

George nodded the parchment seriously:

"On the first night of school, Fred and I were going to go to the kitchen."

"Yes, you must look at the map during the night tour, especially pay attention to where Snape's name is."

Fred happily played with the wand in his hand, and clicked on the name that Ron didn't have the courage to take a second look: "This is the position."

"We saw the name Severus Snape."

"And our Headmaster Dumbledore."

"And - Salazar Slytherin"

"It's all in the corridor on the second floor."

"What terrible news, Fred."

"Yes, it's too scary. In the middle of the night, we saw the headmaster with the founder of Slytherin. With people who have been dead for almost 1000 years!"

"However this happened—"

"Because magic doesn't lie." Harry answered happily with his eyes wide open, his expression no longer had the previous anxiety and fear, all because Dumbledore knew a long time ago that the headmaster already knew the existence of the founder of Slytherin , so what else is there to worry about?The old man's wisdom and determination have always made him admire.

"Well said, Harry!"

The twins applaud together.

"We look at the map whenever we have time."

"Oh, he always appears here suddenly, and then disappears from here suddenly."

"This corridor on the second floor."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and suddenly remembered that it was not too far from Myrtle's bathroom - the secret room with the basilisk, to be precise, it was the only way to go.

"We thought there was a secret passage that wasn't marked on the map."

"But we were wrong."

"A person who has been going back and forth in the lobby, the second floor or even the fourth floor can't be seen by anyone."

"We're still walking straight towards that name..."

"No one, George."

"But we've been there repeatedly."

Ron's face began to turn pale. He originally thought that his brothers were just playing tricks and being bold, but he didn't expect to be so fearless. If his mother found out—he remembered the roaring letter last year again.

"It was finally discovered by us!"

"Harry! Why don't you come with us, founder of Slytherin."

"Unfortunately not the founder of Gryffindor, we do not recommend that you greet him."

"You guys, say hello to him?" Harry looked from George to Fred.

"No, we didn't, Harry."

"It's a good idea though, let's try it today."

"Come here, this way."

"Just pretend you're going to the kitchen or the classroom to pick up a forgotten textbook."

"Or pretend to be lost, but that's not a good reason given that you're in third grade."

"Just find any reason to pass by there."

"Yes, we'll take care of it. Just keep your cool, Harry, and pretend you don't know anything."

Harry seemed to be getting the Invisibility Cloak for the first time, too eager to try it but trembling with nervousness.

On the other hand, Ron seemed about to faint: "Salazar Slytherin is a dark wizard, Merlin, even in the Middle Ages, he is the most terrifying dark wizard...Harry, are you really going?"

"Ron, I won't sleep tonight without a look."

"Okay, okay," Ron said dryly, leaning against the corner tightly and not intending to move, the twins simply didn't intend to come over and pull him along, "I, I'll just wait here and wait for the inside to come back. If there is anything to shout... I will go to Professor McGonagall..."

"Good Ron, you're so nervous."

"We're not taking Harry to battle."

"Show out your courage to break into the secret room."

"Okay, Harry, let's go."

For a certain distance, Harry walked almost on the same hands and feet, and a thought kept rolling in his mind, everyone could see it, but no one noticed it, what the hell was going on.

His time in the wizarding world was too short, and some obvious reasons were easily overlooked from his thinking. When the soft candle light in the hall poured over from all sides, the countless good intentions did not belong to his classmates. When he came over, he suddenly understood.

"Jean, who saw the toad, a toad!"

"Neville's toad, who saw it?"

Everyone in the school knows the Gryffindor twins, especially the savior Harry Potter behind them. As for Gryffindor's Crucible Killer and his pet that he doesn't see often, it's not news. Everyone shakes their heads and continues on their own. way.

"I said Harry, we can't go on looking like this."

"Ah?" The savior was clearly out of the picture.

"The castle is too big, Merlin knows where this poor boy is."

"We can ask, George!"

The twins turned their heads together, stopped, and looked at the painting hanging beside them with wide eyes: "Hi, good evening, did you see a toad passing by?"

In the painting, the young man with black hair and green eyes, dressed like the oldest aristocrat, was gorgeous and noble, with an indifferent and distant smile, slightly startled, his slender white fingers unconsciously propped his cheeks sideways, so thin that it almost appeared The translucent nails were bent down with the index finger and middle finger, perfectly concealing all the expressions on the face, looking at the savior who suddenly widened his eyes behind the twins who were acting like they were serious.

A horse rushes into the painting:

"Only mice can be seen here, children of the Weasley family, go to the cellar and look for it, the toad likes the environment there." After finishing speaking to the twins, White Knight bowed his head hurriedly: "Green, Cardo Gen made a fuss about Suzanne on the fourth floor again, if I were you, I would leave here before he comes."

"You are quite right. Good night, White Knight."

A qualified background should have nothing to do with the characters in the plot. The twins and the savior can only watch helplessly as their target passes through three portraits and disappears into a painting of a three-headed giant snake with a background full of magma and flames. .

"Hey, aren't you going to find the toad?" The owner of the painting, the old man holding the parrot, looked down at the three children.

"Ah, we're looking at that painting."

"That... three-headed snake, this painting is really... special, we didn't even notice it before."

"Oh, boy, that's Hercules. Very bad tempered and proud..." The old man looked up.

"A three-headed snake with a proud temper, it's very fresh." Harry stammered a little, "It was drawn by the Duke of Slytherin, it's normal to be proud." After finishing speaking, the old man went to the next painting frame with the parrot.

The twins winked at each other and gave Harry a sneaky look at the parchment - from which Salazar Slytherin's name disappeared.

"The prank is over."

George whispered something, and Fred stretched out his hand to pull Harry up: "Let's go, we have to pick up the 'forgotten' toad, Harry."
