The young wizards sat down in their own seats under the arrangement of the prefects, preparing to receive the Academy Cup awards. However, at this moment, the professors were gathered in the corridor, watching each Auror go to the eighth floor.
It wasn't until the Aurors disappeared that the professors returned to their teachers' chairs as if nothing had happened.
Professor McGonagall looked worried and said: "Everyone, sit down."
Seeing that the little wizards below were still chatting in low voices, she immediately said sternly: "It's time for the Academy Cup soon. Sit tight and don't let other things disturb you. You will know tomorrow."
News came from Hogsmeade Village that werewolves and dark wizards tried to enter Hogwarts through the passage there, but the passage was blocked by the Ode family in advance. Now the dark wizard and werewolves surrounded the Ode house.
There is a fierce battle in Hogsmeade.
Therefore, people from the Ministry of Magic brought a large number of Aurors and some dementors to support, while the professors were responsible for protecting the young wizards at Hogwarts.
"Sigh." Professor McGonagall sighed secretly. She thought this year would be a stable year... As she looked, Harry, Ron and Hermione had disappeared from the Gryffindor table.
Is this Dumbledore's new arrangement?
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but think this. She looked at Dumbledore, but Dumbledore was lowering his head and did not respond to her gaze at all. This made Professor McGonagall frown and find it difficult to relax. She had a bad feeling.
premonition.
"Wizards' premonitions are more interesting than divination." Professor Trelawney on the side said something strange, causing Professor McGonagall to look at her suddenly, but all he saw was a face that was red from drinking secretly.
"Crazy woman." Professor McGonagall pursed her lips. She just couldn't stand Trelawney's nagging look, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious.
"Dumbledore, I think we should call names to avoid accidents with the children."
Dumbledore seemed to have paid little attention to Professor McGonagall, and he said slowly: "Of course, children don't like to stay in one place all the time."
Professor McGonagall was in no mood to fight with Dumbledore. She said directly: "Potter and Wes came and left the dinner with Granger. I think I need to leave for a while."
"I'll go, Professor McGonagall." Snape stood up with cold eyes. He had just been talking to Dumbledore about Lupine, but he didn't even notice that Harry had started an adventure!
"These little trolls must have lost their brains filled with splendens again."
With that said, Snape snorted, looked at Dumbledore dissatisfied, and walked straight out of the hall. Of course, before leaving, he glanced in the direction of Bree. At this time, Bree was still outside the window, Luna and
Yana was talking next to him.
"Brie, the moon is so cold tonight, and it's still glowing red." Obviously, the moon can't be seen here at this time, but Luna gave a very accurate description.
"It's like swallowing Hogwarts, just waiting..." Luna pointed to the dusk sunset in the distance and said: "The sun sets and darkness envelopes us."
Luna had a weird smile on her face.
"But I think everything can get better."
It was a strange thing to say, but Bree could understand it.
"Did you see anything, Luna?" Bree asked. Before Luna could answer, he said, "There will be no moon at Hogwarts tonight."
"Didn't Dumbledore use magic to cover up the sky in the hall? The moon can't shine in."
"Oh, really." Lu Ping stared into the hall, and sure enough he saw the original appearance of the ceiling of the hall, which was full of pictures.
"Those are the history of the establishment of Hogwarts. In fact, they can also be found in the library...well, in the restricted book area."
Bree explained, while Yana, who had been silent for a long time, stared at the Forbidden Forest in the distance, and her heart became uneasy.
"Bree, I feel a werewolf approaching Hogwarts."
Bree followed Yana's gaze and saw that the Forbidden Forest was very quiet tonight. Looking from a distance, it exuded an abnormal aura, which was murderous intent. Standing in Hogwarts, it was like being attacked by a wild beast.
Eyed the same thing.
"What is that?" Luna discovered something and pointed to the Whomping Willow next to the Forbidden Forest.
"Look, is that Potter and the others? They seem to have found something interesting?" Luna said excitedly: "Hey, it's really unfair. Why can we only stay at the boring final dinner and hide and seek together under the moonlight?
Isn’t it better?”
Bree stared blankly at the three little dots dimmed by dusk under the Whomping Willow, and said to Yana and Luna beside her: "Stay in the hall, be careful of werewolves."
After saying that, Brie jumped off the window sill, leaped forward, used her Animagus to turn into a line of blue, moved through the clouds and mist, and disappeared from their sight.
"Hey, Brie doesn't seem to be planning to take us with her, but we're not a burden, are we?" Luna said.
Yana lowered her head in silence and responded in a low voice: "Of course, we didn't see anything, it's only because Bree is still in the hall."
At the Whomping Willow, three hesitant little wizards looked at the Whomping Willow that kept waving its branches. Under its trunk, a big black dog was chasing a big black mouse.
"That's Scabbers, he's not dead yet!" Ron said in surprise, but Hermione and Harry ignored him.
Hermione took the Marauder's Map from Harry's hand, pointed at the map and said, "Look, those two black figures are them."
Originally, Harry and Hermione were planning to use the Marauder's Map to find Buckbeak's murderer. At that time, they discovered two black figures on the map and chased them, but they did not expect a scene like this.
"Oh, we have to help Scabbers, he was chased into the tree hole!" Ron was shocked, and the feeling of regaining something made his brain become excited, and he rushed into the branches of the Whomping Willow without any scruples.
"Snapped!"
"Hey!" Ron was hit hard by a branch and pulled out.
"Ron, I think you should have suffered from it." Harry hurriedly helped Ron up. He still remembered the tragic scene when he and Ron rode the Flying Car in the second grade and fell to the Whomping Willow.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What are you doing here!" A roaring voice came, making the three of them shiver.
"Hagrid!" the three of them said in surprise.
Hagrid's eyes were red, and his stubble was soaked with wet tears.
"Tell me what you are doing here. The Whomping Willow has a bad temper."
"I, we..." Hermione was a little nervous. After all, she was still a professor, and she didn't want to have points deducted on the last day.
"We are here to find the murderer of Buckbeak, look!" Ron pointed to the map in Hermione's hand and said, "This is a magic item that can find strangers who have sneaked into Hogwarts."
"In the hollow of the Whomping Willow tree!"
"Murderer!" Although he didn't know why Ron was so sure, Hagrid's expression immediately became fierce, and he said viciously: "I'm going to catch him!"
Hagrid rushed into the scope of the Whomping Willow, not afraid of the branches and whip vines that were whipping at him. He quickly arrived under the Whomping Willow tree despite his injuries, and suddenly punched a bump on the trunk of the tree.
.
Soon, the Whomping Willow returned to calm.
Hagrid shouted loudly: "Come on, it can only be quiet for a while."
Harry and Ron looked at each other and immediately ran in the direction of Hagrid. Hermione's expression changed. She did not think that rushing after him was the right thing to do. They should tell other professors.
"Snape!" Hermione was about to run to Hogwarts to tell the professors when she was suddenly frightened by someone coming.
"Professor...I, I will go back to Hogwarts now..." Hermione hurriedly put the map behind her back and looked at Snape hesitantly. Fortunately, Snape's focus was on the Whomping Willow behind her, otherwise
The map was probably discovered.
She wasn't sure whether she should trust Snape or tell Harry's story.
"Wait, where are Granger and Potter?" Snape asked coldly, glancing at the hole of the Whomping Willow. As a professor at Hogwarts, he naturally knew the secret of the Whomping Willow.
"Hmph!" Snape snorted coldly, and was about to enter the Whomping Willow. You must know that Lupine is likely to be inside. Aren't those little trolls looking for death if they go in?
"Go back to Hogwarts quickly, this is not the place you should stay!" Snape's voice came, but Hermione stopped.
Comparing the strengths of Hagrid and Snape, Hermione strangely trusted Snape more. However, because Harry and Ron had been belittling Snape for a long time, and Snape often deducted points from Gryffindor, this
Hermione's sense of Snape was extremely bad.
"Go back first. Telling Dumbledore is the safest way." Hermione immediately thought of the most authoritative White Devil in Hogwarts.
"Hermione..."
"Brie?" Bree's voice came, but Hermione didn't notice Bree at all.
Soon, Bree, who used Animagus to transform into a little green snake, returned to its original state. Snape was just now, and Bree was not sure whether he could use the Disillusionment Curse to hide this sharp old snake.
"Bree!" Hermione looked surprised. She exhaled and said quickly: "We saw a big black dog chasing Scabbers into the Whomping Willow. Harry and Ron followed Hagrid in. Just now
Pu also chased after him!"
"Scabbers?" It turned out that Peter was here and was discovered by Black.
Brie raised her eyebrows and said, "Come on, let's go in and take a look." This Scabbers is a bit of an eyesore...it's caused a lot of trouble, but it might be of some use.
Bree looked at the Whomping Willow. This was the place leading to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade. Instead of letting Tom risk telling the secret passage, it would be better to let Peter do it.
When Hermione saw Bree stepping into the Whomping Willow, she immediately chased after her. Of course, Hermione had complete trust in Bree.
Entering the Whomping Willow, Bree and Hermione soon heard the voices of arguments inside.
"Blake, what do you want to do? You can't hurt Harry. Stay away from us!" Hagrid's voice sounded first. It was obvious that Blake, who wanted to get closer to Harry, slowed down under Hagrid's voice.
Back away slowly.
"Peter is dead!" Harry shouted in a hoarse voice: "Black killed him twelve years ago!"
"It's not Peter, it's Scabbers!" Ron also argued.
"It's Animagus, kid..." Black's voice came out, and he tried his best to prove: "Just like me, I can turn into a black dog, then he can also turn into a mouse!"
"Sirius, is it really Peter?" During the argument, Lupine's voice emerged from deeper inside the Whomping Willow tree with doubt, surprising everyone present.
"Professor Lupin?" Harry asked doubtfully.
And this time.
"Well, I think you should stop arguing, werewolves, and... the escapees of Azkaban!"
"Of course, there is also this rat that wants to escape!" Snape's voice was filled with unbridled hatred, and his anger could even be felt by Bree outside.
"If what you just said is true, that this mouse betrayed Lily, then..."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" came the struggling sound of the mouse.
"Ah, damn it, Scabbers, bite me!" Ron screamed in pain, and the sound of the mouse falling to the ground followed.
"Quick, catch it!" Blake was shocked.
"Trash, you can't even hold a mouse!" Snape roared, and then: "Detention immediately!"
Averted!
"Meow!"
flutter!
"Ah, Crookshanks!"
Hermione heard the meowing sound and immediately realized that it was Crookshanks, her flat-faced lion cat.
"Go in," Breed said.
Stepping into the tree hole, Bree soon saw Scabbers being suppressed by Crookshanks, and Ron was pulled by Harry to prevent him from stepping forward to help, but when Bree appeared, Harry immediately let go
He took Ron's hand and said in surprise: "Ode...you are here!"
"boom!"
"Meow!" Ron fell to the ground because he didn't stop for a moment, startling Crookshanks, and Scabbers took the opportunity to escape.
"Imprison him quickly." With a finger from Bu Li, vines surged up from the ground, trapping Ban Ban.

The rest of the people also understand this truth, but this is not a simple magic. When Blake learned Animagus, he learned it completely due to talent and luck. In comparison, Peter, who learned it with diligence, was more familiar with this magic than him.
Understand deeply.
"Do you have any idea, Oded?" Harry looked at Bree hopefully. In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart that Blake was indeed not the murderer. After all, Blake had every chance to attack him, and this
For a semester, Blake had just transformed into a big black dog and stared at him from time to time. That look in his eyes was very...weird.
Relatives...godfather...guilt...
Harry couldn't help but look at Blake. At this time, Blake was wearing a head of dirty long hair. His eyes covered by the hair were shining brightly. Hatred and excitement made him tremble uncontrollably. His eyes were sallow.
The skin clings to the bones, like a skull.
"Little guy, hurry up, I know you have a way!" Blake bared his yellow teeth and stared straight at Bree.
"You've discovered me a long time ago, right."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Bree, and Snape hummed a few times. He remembered that when Black made trouble and let the little wizards sleep in the hall, the one Bree brought with him was said to be a transfiguration error.
The little black dog that acts like a cat... He looked at Black with sharp eyes, and the magic wand in his hand flashed with magic light.
"Don't talk nonsense, you will cause trouble for my students."
"Oh, I'm sorry, then I must have guessed wrong." Blake grinned and lowered his head secretly.
Harry on the side moved his lips but said nothing. In fact, he wanted to ask Bree why she didn't tell him, but he clearly understood that he and Bree were not even friends.
Because of Dumbledore's presence, perhaps Bree will become further and further away from his savior who is trapped by the shackles of fate.
