Hogwarts Homecoming

The moment Harry said that he might have discovered a secret passage that Filch didn't know about, Amostar knew that he, Dumbledore, and everyone else at the school who were guarding against Black's intrusion had made a big mistake !

On the night of returning to Hogwarts this semester, Amosta clearly told Filch that all the secret passages from the castle to the outside world need to be sealed off, and Filch also patted his chest and said to them that the castle passes The four secret passages to the outside world have been completely blocked by him and the professors, and there is no possibility of entering.

And such an answer will obviously lead to misunderstanding, mistakenly thinking that there are only four secret passages leading to the outside of the school. But in fact, Hogwarts has gone through thousands of years. Who knows how many passages have been built in the castle by so many troublemakers?

Maybe, Blake himself dug secret tunnels with his friends when he was in school

Oh, probably not, otherwise, Remus must know that he is the only one who is still alive among Black's best friends in school, unless Black was planning today's scene, otherwise, he is unlikely Without telling Remus.

"professor--"

Both Harry and Ron were glaring at Hermione angrily, but Hermione didn't think she had done anything wrong. She responded to their eyes unwillingly, and said to Professor Brian, who was thinking like a sculpture,

"You also think that Black sneaked into Hogwarts through those secret passages, right?"

"That's impossible, Hermione!"

Now that he knew that the precious passage could not be kept, Ron simply broke the can,

"When Blake sneaked into Hogwarts, Hogsmeade was full of dementors. He couldn't sneak into Duke Bee's underground warehouse, could he?"

Amosta, who was in deep thought, briefly glanced at Ron out of thought. These little guys can't get rid of the bad habits they take for granted.

It is true that Black may not be the secret passage that Harry walked through, but Amosta can be sure that he must have a secret passage that no one knows. Therefore, on the night of the Halloween dinner, he can He sneaked into Hogwarts without anyone knowing it, and left quickly after finding that he couldn't enter the Gryffindor common room.

Thinking of this, it's both exasperating and funny. So many people are worried about Black's whereabouts, but these three little guys have somehow grasped important clues.

"Except for this secret passage, Harry"

Amosta seemed to be able to hear the melodious collision of 50,000 Galleons. He stared at Harry seriously, and said righteously,

"You still have information about those secret passages. I hope you can tell me the truth, Harry. After all... this is about whether I can bring Black to justice as soon as possible!"

"as far as I know--"

Harry has no intention of resisting. The only thing he thinks now is to prevent Professor Brain from discovering that wonderful map. Not only because Harry wants to keep it, but if Professor Brain discovers this, then he will The origin of the map will be tracked down, so Fred and George will be involved, and how they got the map in the end will be exposed!

"A total of seven--"

Harry said it honestly, and this relieved Hermione, who was tense, because she was still wondering if she should expose Harry again if he lied again.

"But only one works, because four have been sealed off by Mr. Filch, and the other two, one has caved in, and the last one has an entrance at the Whomping Willow. No one can walk past that tree alive. .”

"It's just what you think, Harry."

Amosta said, after thinking about it, he confirmed again,

"This is all the secret passages you know, right? You didn't try to hide any secret passages. Trying to leave a way out for yourself?"

Harry could answer this question with an open mind.

"I can't believe it, Hermione!"

Harry and the others knew that Professor Brian's 'eyes' were everywhere in Hogwarts Castle, so the three of them had no communication on the way back from the office on the third floor to the Gryffindor tower.

Ron, who was still buried in resentment until he stepped into the lounge, immediately broke out. He stared at Hermione, who had expected it in his heart, but still refused to admit defeat, and said angrily

"You betrayed us!"

"Oh, stop yelling, Ron!"

There was a strong light in Hermione's brown pupils, compared to what happened to Banban, she had a clear conscience in tonight's 'report'.

There was no one in the common room, and the three of them were still sitting by the fireplace, warming the fire. Ron took out a bottle of butter from the gap between the back of an old chest of drawers and the wall in the lounge. Beer. This is a bootleg they brought back last time.

"Don't you see, Ron?"

Hermione took out her number divination homework from her schoolbag, and wrote it as quickly as if she didn't need to think,

"Professor Bryan and I hold the same opinion, and the three of us know that he probably won't be able to go to bed tonight, and he will definitely check the remaining three passages overnight to see if there is any trace of a criminal passing by recently. "

In this kind of cold weather, cold drinks can't be eaten, so Ron used his best floating spell to control three glasses filled with beer and grilled them on the golden flame for a while,

"This can only show one thing. Even an elite like Professor Blaine sometimes loses his mind."

Ron had had enough of Hermione's usual domineering attitude when arguing about the right or wrong of something.

"I'd like to see how Blake slipped in through the remaining three secret passages, it can't be Honeydukes right, otherwise we would have attended Fred and George's funeral long ago, and that one Landslide. With all due respect, Hermione, I think that since Fred and George couldn't make it through the landslide's secret passage, then Black probably couldn't be better at it than him!"

The quill in Hermione's hand stopped for a moment, she bit her lower lip and said,

"There is one more."

"if!"

Ron rolled his eyes, looking helpless,

"If you and I flew to Hogwarts in a car with Harry at the beginning of second year, then you know that no one could ever walk by that Whomping Willow without leaving some body parts of."

"At least Professor Brayne thinks—"

Hermione wanted to say something else, but Harry, who was a little bit shocked tonight, suddenly broke into the topic,

"The premise is that you have to have a wand to do it."

Butterbeer was bubbling and bubbling, and Ron transferred the hot glass to the table, made an inviting gesture to Harry, and then just gave Hermione a displeased jerk of his chin,

"Harry is right, provided that Black has to get himself a wand. Don't you think that Neville's wand caused Black to lose it? Don't forget, the last time Black broke into the castle, Neville's wand was still there. leave."

Hermione was speechless, but still frowning, trying to figure out how to refute Ron.

Harry was tired, not physically but mentally, self-doubt.

Since knowing the truth about Black's persecution of his parents for a week, every late night, he has been ruthless, thinking that if one day he really meets Black, then he will not hesitate to use the cruelest means he knows to kill him. Blake, but tonight Professor Brian let him know that killing people is not that simple at all.

Things seemed to be back to the original point after going round and round, Harry found that he really might as well not know the truth about the murder of his parents, so that he would not have to be tortured by his own conscience. There's nothing he can do except to find Black, the evil dementors first.

However, Harry knew that he had to interrupt the real quarrel between Ron and Hermione. Because of the matter of Scabbers, he had always had disagreements with each other in his heart. , then, the tacit understanding established with great difficulty will be broken again,

"I guess I'll have to go and apologize to Fred and George,"

Harry sighed deeply, looking sad,

"By the way, remind him that the secret passage of the hunchback witch is no longer safe."

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and the little wizards should have stayed in their dormitories long ago. In order to avoid being discovered by Percy who came back from the night watch, the three of them prepared to end this not-so-good eve.

"I can go with you, Harry,"

Ron patted Harry on the shoulder,

"We can explain it to Fred and George, they should give me some"

The sudden movement from the door interrupted Ron's words, and made Harry and Hermione both surprised.

"Professor Lupine--"

Harry was a little confused as to why the usually gentle Professor Lupine had such a serious expression.

"Professor Blaine just went to my office, explained the situation to me, and asked me to be vigilant tonight,"

Lupine looked at Harry and said solemnly,

"Professor Bryan told me that he accidentally learned from you some unknown secret passages leading to the outside of the castle, Harry. How did you find out the location of these secret passages so clearly?"

Sorry, I went to the hospital for an examination today, so it's a bit late.

Also, another month is over, thanks to the gentlemen who have supported this book so far
