After Johnson said goodbye to Vincent who was filling the lawn, he declined McGonagall's invitation to reminisce and left Hogwarts.
He saw a lot and thought a lot.
Popularity, fame, potential.
He believed that Mr. Alton would make the right choice, just as he believed that Sideswipe would defeat Nimbus and Comet and become the largest broom company in Europe.
It took almost a whole day to finally fill in the bumpy grass on the golf course.
But some things can be restored, and some things cannot.
For example, Hermione's burnt hair, or Ron's wand which has been completely scrapped.
"No, my mother will kill me!"
Harry, who was lying on the bed, was shaking slightly.
If the last yelling letter comes again, I believe that even if Molly doesn't take him back, he will definitely become more self-defeating.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"You can't keep using this wand, can you?"
"I'm embarrassed enough, Harry." Ron recalled the feeling of spitting out slugs during the day.
"This is my nightmare, I just wish people were more interested in Malfoy's pictures."
Harry wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.
The Malfoy family is rich and powerful, and I'm afraid no one will dare to talk about the photo in a few days.
"By the way, we can ask Colin for photos!" Ron stood up and put on his slippers.
"It's too late, why don't we go tomorrow."
He pulled Harry up and said, "It's too late to go tomorrow!
Colin is as timid as Neville, and he might destroy the negatives after just a few threats!"
"Okay." Harry put on his glasses and stumbled out of the dormitory with him.
Colin was still in a daze when he was woken up, "I don't have the negatives I took today."
"Where?"
"Professor Lockhart took it. He said he would publish the photo in the newspaper."
Harry and Ron both stiffened and rolled their necks.
"Is he trying to publicize the fact that he made Malfoy's bones disappear?"
"I don't think a photo like this would appear in a newspaper."
"Thank you, Colin." Harry and Ron ran back to the dormitory.
"We still have time!"
"Yes, as long as we are quiet."
One set of invisibility cloaks and both of them disappeared.
…
…
The six little ones in the kitchen were full and were about to go to the Slytherin dormitory for a "tour" when they noticed two names moving on the Marauder's Map.
"What do they want to do?" George stared closely at the two people's footsteps.
"You must be hungry." Vincent didn't pay much attention to this matter.
With the Deathly Hallows, the invisibility cloak, the possibility of being discovered was almost zero as long as it was not where Snape was staying.
Hermione, whose hair was cut shorter, was not as optimistic as he was.
It's almost zero but not equal to zero.
She was also staring at the map until two series of small footprints came to the corridor on the third floor.
"Third floor? I remember Lockhart's office seems to be there."
George joked: "As expected of Miss Know-It-All, she even has information about the new professor."
Hermione blushed slightly and glared fiercely, "I admit that I was blind before, but can you please stop mentioning this!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore." George immediately raised his hands in surrender.
Fred smoothed things over with a smile, "Don't mention her, there are quite a few blind witches in the magic world around the world."
"Like mom?"
"right!"
Hermione pouted.
Her mother is the same as her.
"And the Ministry of Magic!"
"Wizengamot~"
"Finally, there is our Minister Fudge~"
The twins joked a few words, but she was no longer angry in her heart.
Cedric suddenly pointed at the map, "Look, they've entered Lockhart's office!"
Vincent straightened up instantly, lay on Rove's shoulder and looked down.
"Is this - are you following us?"
"Investigating Lockhart?" Hermione shook her little head, "I don't think they are doing this for everyone."
Then there are only private matters, and they can only be private matters.
"going or not?"
"Of course I want to go!"
Third floor, Lockhart's office.
With the help of the light from the tip of Harry's wand, Ron almost vomited when he saw the photos on the wall.
Maybe it's because the slugs didn't spit it all out, but those close-up mugshots are really disgusting.
"Shh-" Harry pointed to the closed door.
Ron nodded and followed him to the desk.
After opening the drawer, there were indeed two rolls of film inside.
As soon as Harry picked up the film, his hand suddenly let go.
"clatter--"
Ron quickly bent down and picked it up.
"Didn't you hear that voice?"
"Shh-" He glanced at the door, "I didn't hear anything."
Just when Harry thought it was an auditory hallucination, that creepy, suffocating, cold and vicious voice appeared again.
"Come...come...let me tear...you...tear you...kill you..."
He was startled and covered his mouth tightly.
Ron leaned closer and whispered, "What's wrong with you? We have to go back."
Harry tapped his chin and nervously walked back the way he came.
He didn't feel nervous until he closed the door.
Because the voice is still there, as if it comes from next to the ear.
"I must cut mine off." Ron was in a very good mood.
Harry is the complete opposite.
"You will definitely believe me, right?"
Ron remembered the outing to the Forbidden Forest last semester.
The shadow that only Harry can see, the voice that only Harry can hear...
"Gu Liu——" He felt an inexplicable chill running down his spine.
"Harry, could it be - it's Quirrell who -"
"I don't know, but that sound is so scary."
According to Dumbledore's explanation last semester, Quirrell, pretended by Snape, escaped from Azkaban because he was possessed by Voldemort.
"It's better to go back first." Ron put the film in his pocket, "I always feel like it's so scary here."
The higher you go, the weaker the sound becomes.
By the time they reached the fifth floor, it was so small that Harry couldn't hear it at all.
"Thank God -" he took a long breath, "could those voices be arranged by Lockhart in the office?"
"It's possible." Ron said to the fat lady with a black face.
It was wrong to go out at night, but she opened the door anyway.
"I heard from Fred and George that Draco arranged many magic props in his dormitory."
When Harry mentioned this, he felt much better.
Although there is no evidence, the twins must be responsible for invading the Slytherin dormitory and pranking them many times.
Not long after they entered, six small figures suddenly appeared in the empty corridor outside.
Fred held the invisibility cloak and looked at Hermione who had lifted the Disillusionment Curse.
"Merlin's big pants, when did you learn how to do it?"
"summer vacation."
He and George suddenly felt a bit toothache.
After Vincent, Hermione also fully learned the Disillusionment Charm.
"He didn't secretly make up lessons for you?"
"No."
The twins were completely convinced.
With the two of them here, Gryffindor's rise is inevitable.
