[HP] The Elegance of the Night

Early the next morning, Igil silenced the mirror in the bathroom with a punch, because it kept praising Igil's fair skin, which was made more crystal clear by the red mark on his collarbone.

"Basilisk, you're really useless." Igil raised his hand and gave the little green snake with its head protruding from his pocket a shudder. Draco strangled his neck yesterday, and this basilisk was actually hiding in his pocket Can't get out. "Father asked you to protect me, but you can only eat!" Thinking of Professor McGonagall lamenting the increase in food expenses with a stack of bills, and walking past him, Igil couldn't help but feel ashamed.

[I'm hungry, Igil] Basilisk hissed out a snake letter, never mentioning what happened yesterday, and he would be cursed by Merlin for destroying other people's good deeds. He has been with Salazar Slytherin for so many years, and he is also tactful up.

On Saturday morning, there was an exclamation around the Gryffindor table, and Harry Potter's valuable Firebolt was brought into the hall by Wood.

"Put it here, Harry." The Gryffindor captain volunteered to carry Harry's broom in the common room, and he placed the Firebolt gently in the middle of the table as if it were a fragile object. product, and carefully so that its brand is facing outwards.

"Is this the Firebolt?"

"It's amazing!" Even Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students quickly gathered around.

"Oh, thank you, just leave it to me." After he stepped into the hall, Harry subtly took the Firebolt off the table, leaned on the back of his chair, and turned towards the Slytherin dining table. Glancing in the direction of Draco, Igil was sipping a cup of hot milk. Draco snorted coldly and continued to eat the black pudding on the plate. comminicate.

There was a Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff game this morning. The wind was light, the weather was clear and clear, and there were no visibility problems. It was a good day for flying.Before eleven o'clock, the teachers and students of the whole school came to the auditorium around the stadium one after another. They held yellow or red flags to support the two teams.The Slytherins were unmistakably fluttering in Hufflepuff colors, waving as the lion cubs passed them.Hufflepuff Captain Cedric Diggory is a very handsome gray-eyed boy, he is also Hufflepuff Seeker, a prefect badge representing authority on his yellow robes, let More admiring eyes cast over.

When Harry Potter came out holding the Firebolt, the audience erupted into cheers, and the blue-eyed boy became the focus of attention.Igil heard Draco snort again, he must not be reconciled to being upstaged by Harry, it is also a Firebolt, the effect of the second one is far less shocking.

"Draco, I will definitely give you another broom when the specialty store releases a new model. I won't be like Harry Potter next time." Igil said to Draco, and their attention was no longer on the field superior.Until the game commentator Lee Jordan yelled: "—Look how the Firebolt is driving! Porter is really showing its speed now, watch it turn——Diggory's comet can't do it at all Compared with it. In this long game, the Firebolt's precise balance-"

"Jordan! Did the Firebolt pay you to advertise? Continue to comment!" Professor McGonagall's words were also what Igil wanted to say, and Draco's resentment, which had been so hard to calm down, resurfaced after being disturbed by him.

"Draco, actually—"

"what!"

Igil's words were interrupted by a scream, and he looked in the direction of the sound. Three dementors wearing black cloaks and hoods appeared on the field and were approaching the players in the game. "Draco!" Igil turned to look at his roommate.

"It's not me!" The platinum-haired boy quickly denied, showing a look of surprise, "After the plan was cancelled, I lost those three sets of clothes. Could it be them—" He looked behind himself, Both Crabbe and Goyle sat securely on the steps, holding a yellow flag in one hand and nibbling a beef patty in the other.Their first reaction when they saw the dementor was to choke and pour water into their mouths desperately.

"Guardian!" A long invisible silver-white thing emerged from Harry Potter's wand in the sky, and at the same time, a silver-white phoenix-shaped patron saint rushed out from the teacher's stand , the three dementors fled in a panic and hid in the darkness.

Mrs. Hooch blew her whistle.Just now, after casting the Patronus, Harry didn't stop to see if the spell hit the Dementor, but caught the Snitch in the mid-air of the Hufflepuff field before anyone else noticed. .The small ball danced between his fingers and stretched out its wings. When he fell to the ground, the Gryffindor players surrounded him tightly and hugged him, and the audience burst into applause.

"Potter, you know the Patronus spell!" Draco stood up in amazement, did he still underestimate the blue-eyed savior?If Igil hadn't stopped him from playing around, he would have made a fool of himself today.

"Potter was learning this spell from Professor Lupin a while ago." Pansy Patty Parkinson fanned the small fan with a gold thread hook to dispel the platinum boy's doubts, "Potter is really good, and he only took one tutoring session. That's all." With such a potential savior, should the Parkinson family consider making friends with him?Pansy closed her fan and put this thought behind her. She had already chosen someone with more potential to follow, and... She glanced at the two snake yard boys in front of her and smiled. Three years of getting along has made the Slytherins friendship took root.

"Connelly, can you tell me what happened to these three dementors?" Dumbledore's bright blue eyes stared penetratingly at the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge who came to watch the game together .The little wizards at Hogwarts seemed to be preoccupied by the Patronus spell used by Harry Potter and the quick victory of Gryffindor. They didn't think much about the dementors. After all, they already had I have seen more than 100 dementors come out together.But Dumbledore, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, had to think about the problems arising from it.

Although the tall and thin old man raised doubts kindly on his face, and his tone did not contain any sense of blame, it still made Fudge, a wizard who had graduated from Hogwarts for many years, dare not look at him.From a large perspective, this matter has already challenged the authority of the principal of Hogwarts, a famous school. If he does not handle it well, the management ability of the Ministry of Magic will also be questioned.

"The dementors have only one purpose here, and I think they must have discovered Sirius Black." Fudge gave this explanation that sounded reasonable, although even he thought the dementors were the same as last time. Attracted by the enthusiasm on the Quidditch field.

"I hope you can catch him as soon as possible, Connelly." Dumbledore didn't believe it, or didn't believe it, Fudge secretly wiped off his sweat and ordered his men to communicate with the leader of the dementors, telling them not to act like that in front of him Many people ran out on their own. The Ministry of Magic, this terrifying magical creature, just cooperated with it and took what they needed. The relationship between them was far from as solid as it was advertised to the public.

At one o'clock in the morning that day, Professor McGonagall was wearing a plaid dressing gown, and with a hairnet, drove the lion cubs who were going to party all night back to their dormitories. When everyone was asleep, Ron screamed in fear The sound came from the boys' dormitory far away.

"Who was yelling just now?" Doors opened one after another, and many sleepy voices asked Ron, even Professor McGonagall turned back. "I'm very happy that Gryffindor won the game, but you are so ridiculous now!"

"Professor, I wake up. Sirius Black is standing in front of me, holding a knife!" Ron yelled vigorously. When Professor McGonagall asked Sir Cadogan who was guarding the lounge, he was surprised to find that there was such a thing. After the incident, Hogwarts Castle conducted another comprehensive search, but the result was still nothing.

"I saw him standing in front of me... holding a big long knife, must have been twelve inches long... He looked at me, I looked at him, and then I yelled, and he ran away." Luo Eun was a schoolwide celebrity the next morning, happy to tell anyone what happened if anyone asked.

Longbottom received a roaring letter at breakfast time the next day. He grabbed the red letter and ran out of the hall like a bomb. The little snakes laughed when they saw him. They didn't know It was also known that he had written all of Gryffindor's passwords for the week on a piece of paper and lost it.Sirius Black was able to enter the Gryffindor lounge unimpeded by reading this password.Crazy Sir Cadogan lost his job as a janitor, and the fat lady was hung up at the entrance of the Gryffindor common room. Bullido begins to struggle with the piles of letters from worried parents.

Igil hadn't planned to ask about Sirius, but fate seemed to have played a little trick on him. One week later, on another Saturday, when he returned from Hogsmeade at night, he was dragged by Harry Potter to a A corner that is not often visited by people.

"Igil, I found Sirius's whereabouts." This is the first sentence of the blue-eyed boy.

"Where is he?" Igil was still holding a few books from the Room of Requirement in his hands. In fact, if he didn't go up to the eighth floor, he wouldn't have met this boy. They had been indifferent for almost two months. Getting along with Huo is no different from the past except for the title.

"He's still staying in this castle, Igil." At this time, several young wizards walked through the corridor laughing, Harry raised his wand and cast several spells in succession, and now they were completely isolated from the outside world, " I'll show you something." Harry took out a large, square piece of old parchment with nothing written on it, "This is a gift from the Weasley twins at Christmas." Harry Said.

"I solemnly swear that I have done no good." He said these words, and touched the parchment lightly with his wand, and many thin ink lines like spider webs immediately started from where the wand had just touched. Appeared, merged with each other, crossed, and extended to every corner of this parchment.Curved green fonts began to appear above the parchment, delineating all the details of Hogwarts castle and various venues in detail.But the really noteworthy things are the little ink dots that move along the map, each marking a name in tiny letters.Igil leaned over to take a closer look, and the two ink dots that appeared on their location on the map were exactly his and Harry's names.

"The day Sirius reappeared, I sneaked a look at this map. His name was not on the map. I thought he had escaped." Harry said, "But that day I was in the Gryffindor common room and other Sitting like a human all night, I suddenly found him here." He pointed to the eighth floor, a place that Igil was also familiar with.

"The Room of Requirement!" Igil cried out in surprise, holding a few books he just got from that secret room.

"Yes, the magic in the Room of Requirement obscured the name on the map, and I didn't see him until he came out of this secret room. But everyone stayed in the lounge that day, and I couldn't find him." Ha Leigh said anxiously that since he had decided to find out the truth about the murder of his parents, he could not let others catch Sirius. If you catch it, you will immediately give it to the dementor to kiss. The dementor will absorb the soul of the kissed person. This is the cruelest punishment for a wizard.He also tried Professor Lupine's tone, but even that haggard man who seemed mild-mannered wanted to cut Sirius in half.

He didn't know who to turn to except Igil, and Hermione and Ron, who had almost fought over Scabbers' death, were hardly speaking now.Ellie has always opposed him to find the "stupid truth". These are Ellie's original words. She thinks that kind of person should be handed over to the dementors. Under Ellie's lobbying, his other two friends also wavered.

"Is he still in the Room of Requirement?" Igil asked after reading all the ink dots on the map. Sirius' name was not displayed on this worn-out parchment.

"I watched him for a week, and every night he would come out and wander, looking for something. He might be trying to find a way into the Gryffindor common room, but the fat lady hired a group of dwarves to protect her, and she didn't look like Sir Cadogan is so easy to fool." Harry smiled awkwardly, Sir Cadogan is no longer the problem of being fooled, but he still chose to cover up his family scandal in front of a Slytherin, after all, he is now a Gran fendo.

"I haven't had a chance to go out. Ellie has been staring at me these days. She must have noticed something, because I hold this blank parchment all day long. Open the door. But these are not the biggest problems I have encountered." After talking so much, Harry finally got to the point of the matter, "Igil, Sirius hasn't left the Room of Requirement in the past three days. I have tried countless times. Entered the secret room, but never guessed exactly what kind of house Sirius was hiding in."

The Room of Response is ever-changing with everyone's needs, and this is the biggest problem he has encountered so far when he wants to find Sirius...
