Howl's Moving Castle and Hogwarts Castle

Days passed, and there were no more attacks on the school, and in the last herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout announced that in a short time, the mandrakes would all mature, and the petrified people would recover!

Harry was no longer shunned by the students gradually. It seemed that nothing horrible happened. Everyone was busy discussing the next Quidditch match.

"The game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, I really don't know what to watch." Draco said at the table, his eyes were on the other side of the Gryffindor table, Wood was encouraging his team.

"Know yourself and know your enemy," Ji Xing said with a smile on his face. His Firebolt will be brought to school next semester, and he must join the Quidditch team by then!

"Hmph, I won't lose again!" Draco knew that he was careless in the last competition, he thought he had practiced a lot, and he had been exposed to broomsticks since he was a child, so how could he lose!But the reality hit him in the face, he must not lose to that Potter again next time!

"Of course, Draco is the best!" Ji Xing was full of praise. He knew that Draco's talent was not as good as Harry's, but it made him a little fan of Draco. Of course, everything was Draco best.

After they finished their breakfast, as the crowd flowed to the Quidditch pitch, the players all went to change their clothes, and it would take a while to start. Ji Xing dragged Draco to the highest stand.

The players walked to the arena amidst earth-shattering cheers.Oliver Wood soared into the air and made a warm-up flight around the goalposts.Mrs. Hooch released the ball.The Hufflepuffs, dressed in canary yellow, were gathering to discuss tactics in the last minute.

But Professor McGonagall appeared across the lawn, walking and running across the field with a giant purple microphone in her hand.

"The game is cancelled," Professor McGonagall said into the packed bleachers through the microphone.There were boos and shouts of displeasure from the crowd.

"All students must return to the college common room, where more information will be given to you by the head of the college. Please leave as soon as possible!"

"Could there be another attack?" Ji Xing guessed, Professor McGonagall's face was not very good, very serious, making people feel that something bad happened.

"Go back!" Draco pulled Ji Xing back to the common room.

In the common room, the prefect was counting the number of people with a parchment. Soon, all the Slytherin students gathered here. Snape walked in from the door and announced with a blank face:

"All students must return to their college common room by six o'clock in the evening. No student may leave the hall after this time. Each class is escorted by a teacher. No student may Toilets to be used. All Quidditch practice and competitions postponed. No further activity in the evening."

Regardless of the discussion among the students below, Snape continued, "I don't want any student to be petrified or treated as a criminal because of unauthorized actions. You'd better follow the rules."

His eyes swept over several people, paused for a moment on Ji Xing, and walked out of the common room without explaining anything.

"Someone must have been petrified, I hope it's a Gryffindor." Draco leaned on the sofa, tossing the chess pieces boredly, completely ignoring the shouting and protesting of the chess pieces.

The next day, from other colleges, Ji Xing learned that it was Hermione and a girl from Ravenclaw College who were petrified.Draco originally wanted to laugh at that Muggle seed that deserved to be petrified, but seeing Ji Xing's gloomy face, obviously worried for Hermione, he didn't speak.

"Hurry up and go to class, it's just petrified, isn't the mandrake almost ready—?" Draco comforted Ji Xing, knowing that this is very rare, when did Draco ever care about others.

But Ji Xing didn't respond to Draco, as if he suddenly remembered something, he jumped up from the dining table and ran outside.

"Where are you going!" Draco yelled.

"It's right at the door, come back soon!" Ji Xing ran outside the auditorium, Percy was standing outside with the Gryffindor prefect, not allowing the students to act alone, saw Ji Xing running out, and stopped him .

"You are not allowed to act alone!"

"I'll go to the next bathroom!" Ji Xing pointed to the corner bathroom, "I'll be back soon!"

Percy hesitated for a moment, but seeing Ji Zhoupan's small face, and remembering that Slytherin had a good relationship with Ginny, he let him go, "Hurry up!"

"Hmm!" Ji Xing ran to the bathroom, but there was no one in the bathroom, Ji Xing closed the door and shouted, "Dobby!"

With a "snap", Dobby appeared, "What's the matter, little master!"

"Dobby!" Ji Xing said in a hurry, "I want you to follow Harry, follow him all the time! Don't be discovered by anyone, and then tell me what happened around Harry!"

"Does the little master want Dobby to protect Harry!" Dobby said loudly and excitedly, he now thinks the little master is really a good person!

"Yes!" Ji Xing looked outside, Dobby's voice was too loud, "You can protect him, but you can't tell me my name! Come and report to me every morning!"

"Dobby got it!" Dobby bowed excitedly, and disappeared in place with a "pop".

"--what's the sound?" Percy pushed open the door, he came over to have a look really worried, and heard some strange movement faintly.

"No, nothing!" Ji Xing panicked, but quickly calmed down, "Let's go back quickly! I'm not full yet!"

Percy glanced at the bathroom, but found nothing, and led Ji Xing back to the auditorium.

"Draco!" Ji Xing saw Draco standing at the door of the auditorium, and ran over, "Draco, I'm just going to the bathroom, don't worry."

Draco glanced at Ji Xing suspiciously, turned back to the dining table without saying anything.

*********************************

Harry only inherited one thing from his father: a long, shiny silver invisibility cloak.It would depend on it if they were going to sneak out of school to visit Hagrid without anyone noticing.

It was a starry night, and they hurried toward the lighted windows of Hagrid's lodgings until they were outside his door before they took off their robes.Seconds after they knocked, Hagrid flung the door open.They saw Hagrid pointing a set of bows and arrows at them, Fang the Hound barking loudly behind him.

"Oh, it's you," he said, laying down his weapons and staring at them, "what are you two doing here?" . "It's nothing...it's nothing," Hagrid said vaguely, "I thought...it's okay...sit down...I'll make tea..." He seemed a little uneasy, the water in the kettle spilled out, and almost set the stove on fire. The fire died out, and then a jerk of his thick hand knocked over the teapot. "Are you all right, Hagrid?" Harry asked, "Have you heard about Hermione?" "Oh, yes, I did." Hagrid said, his voice choked up.

Harry was about to ask Hagar something, but there was a knock on the door.

Harry and Ron exchanged panicked glances, then quickly put on the Invisibility Cloak and retreated into a corner.

"Good evening, Hagrid." It was Dumbledore.He walked in with a very serious expression, followed by a very strange looking man.

"That's my dad's boss!" gasped Ron. "Cornnel Fudge, Minister for Magic!" Harry elbowed Ron hard enough to shut him up.

What happened next made Harry want to throw away the invisibility cloak and rush out, because Hagrid was regarded as the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets and was about to be captured by the Ministry of Magic and sent to Azkaban.

Harry was about to rush out when there was another knock on the door.

Dumbledore went to open the door.This time it was Harry's turn to get an elbow in the ribs: he let out an audible exclamation.

Mr. Lucius Malfoy strode into Hagrid's cabin. He was tightly wrapped in a long black traveling cloak.

He brought Harry even more annoying news - Dumbledore had been deposed.

Hagrid stood up abruptly, brushing the ceiling with his big, shaggy, black head.

Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes remained fixed on Lucius' cold gray eyes. "Only when everyone here betrays me will I really leave this school. You will also find that at Hogwarts, those who ask for help can always be helped." Dumbledore slowly said firmly.

At that moment, Harry was almost certain that Dumbledore's eyes had glanced towards the corner where he and Ron were hiding.

Malfoy strode to the cabin door and opened it; bowing to see Dumbledore out.Fudge played with his top hat, and waited for Hagrid to come in front of him, but Hagrid stood still, took a deep breath, and said cautiously, "If anyone's looking for something, they just have to follow the spider and they'll find it." Right direction! That's all I have to say."

The door slammed shut, and Ron tore off the cloak. "This is trouble," he said gruffly. "Dumbledore's gone. They're probably going to close the school tonight. There will be attacks every day when he's gone."

Fangya barked again, scratching at the closed door with his claws.
