The years of welding at Hogwarts

Little Beaver stood between Ron and Shirley, like an old hen protecting her calves, protecting Shirley tightly behind him.

But Shirley pushed her aside, walked to her side by side, and stared at Ron unyieldingly, "Why, you want to do something?"

The three of them made quite a noise, which attracted the attention of Noah, Draco who was bragging, and Neville who was quite slow to react.

Several people came over quickly.

Not only did Shirley and Hermione have backup, but three senior students who also looked to be Weasleys left the Gryffindor table and came over.

Two of them look exactly the same, and they are obviously twins.

"I'm the prefect. What's going on here?"

A red-haired Weasley with a prefect badge on his chest asked.

The two twins looked anxious and asked, "Is someone bullying our stupid brother?"

Shirley didn't even look at them. She was too lazy to pay attention to them. She just looked at the savior classmate who was at a loss in the face of this situation.

She raised a finger and said, "The most important thing about making friends is quality, not quantity."

"Maybe you should have joined Slytherin. That way, you would have found out which friends can really help you."

"That's enough!" Ron interrupted Shirley almost yelling, "Harry knows how to distinguish good friends from bad ones! There's no need for you to pretend here!"

Because of Snape, Harry actually didn't have any good feelings towards Snape's daughter.

But at this moment, looking at Ron's frustrated look, he couldn't help but agree a little with Shirley's words.

He was vaguely dissatisfied with Ron Weasley.

Seeing that Ron was on the verge of losing control, Neville moved a few steps to the side and stood between Shirley and Ron, "You! Don't fight!"

He spread his arms, forming a defensive line in front of Shirley.

Noah looked at the fat boy in surprise. He didn't expect that the fat boy would be so brave at the critical moment.

This friend is worth getting along with!

But Noah didn't want things to end so easily, so he pulled Neville aside.

"It's okay, just let him come. Is that all you can do is go crazy with impotence?"

Noah's last sentence was directed to Ron. With so many professors present, he wished Ron would take the initiative.

In this way, he would have a legitimate reason for self-defense, and even if he kicked the idiot Ron ten meters away, the professors would have no reason to deduct points from him.

Maybe a few points would be deducted, but Noah believed that he would be able to gain them back from Snape soon.

Can't you see that I'm standing up to protect your daughter?

Why don't you give some points to the academy as a token of your appreciation?

However, although Ron was stupid, he was not completely brainless, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to hit anyone with so many professors present.

He just glared at Noah. If looks could kill, then Draco and Noah would have to die a hundred times.

Neville, who was pulled away by Noah, squeezed in between the two of them again. He pulled Noah's sleeve and said, "Don't make trouble. There are so many professors here."

Seeing that the situation could not be further escalated and Neville had given both sides a way out, Noah had no intention of continuing to provoke.

He sat down on the chair at the Ravenclaw table, and pulled a few friends back with him.

"Hey, there's no point in talking to this kind of person. It's better to eat peacefully instead of wasting time."

Shirley was a foodie girl, and she immediately raised her knife and fork to show her agreement.

Hermione seemed to be hesitant to say something, but when she thought of Ron's expression, she finally gave up the idea of ​​saying anything.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she didn't go to Gryffindor.

If all Gryffindor students were like that, she would really be torn.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the students who were watching dispersed before the professors walked down from the podium in the auditorium.

"Noah, do you want to come to the library with us tonight?"

"The library...but I have something else to do tonight."

"He's busy with his night out!" Hermione said angrily.

"It's been a week since school started, and you haven't even been to the library once. I don't know how you mastered so many magics!"

Noah rubbed the back of his head and grinned, "Maybe this is talent."

talent……

Although this is true, why does she sound so eager to hit someone?

The few of them were talking and laughing, completely unaware of Ron's sinister expression behind them.

Night tour?

snort!

Chapter 50: Figures in the Dark

That night, the moonlight outside the castle shone through the tall windows, slanting onto the corridor, leaving one frosty white spot after another.

Two furtive figures nervously groped their way along the castle corridor.

It was curfew in the castle at this time, and the torches that were burning on the walls on both sides of the corridor had been extinguished.

The whole castle was shrouded in a quiet atmosphere.

Apart from a few strange noises coming from the forbidden forest in the distance and the occasional flapping of wings in the dark night sky outside the castle, the only sound in the entire corridor was the faint snoring of the portraits on the walls on both sides.

The pervasive cold air of the night invaded the castle through the windows. The icy air even coated the armor displayed on the two floors of the corridor with a layer of silver frost.

Those rusty suits of armor hidden in the darkness looked like all kinds of craggy monsters.

The dark corridor was like a gaping abyss, swallowing up any living creature that strayed into it.

This terrifying environment made the two girls in the dark huddle together tightly, as if doing so could bring them some insignificant sense of security.

At a fork in the road, two girls who were groping forward in the dark stopped.

Hermione complained, "Where on earth did Noah go? He's such a nuisance!"

Shirley on the side held Hermione's hand tightly out of fear, "This bastard! If he doesn't give me five kilograms of cockroaches when we find him, this matter will never end!"

When she heard about the pile of cockroaches, five kilograms at that, the corners of Hermione's mouth twitched.

Her best friend was good in every way except that she liked to eat strange snacks like cockroach piles, which was really unacceptable to her.

There was a sound of light footsteps in the corridor in the distance, and the shadow of a feline was cast at the corner at the end of the corridor, appearing extremely huge.

Behind it followed an even larger, human-shaped shadow that was hunched over like a mountain monster.

Two huge shadows on the wall

He approached the two girls step by step, scaring them so much that the hair on the back of their necks stood up.

"That's Filch! And his cat, Mrs Norris!"

"Run, run! I don't want to be caught and lose points!"

The two men turned around and ran for their lives in the castle, not caring about suppressing the sound of their footsteps when running.

The clattering sound of footsteps in the quiet castle was like lit firecrackers, echoing far away along the silent corridor.

However, as an administrator who had worked in the castle for decades, Filch was definitely more familiar with the castle than the two little girls who had just entered Hogwarts.

The two girls were running around like headless flies, running through corridor after corridor, but they were still unable to shake off the lingering pursuers behind them.

Their weak, pitiful and helpless figures were soon blocked in a corridor by Filch and Mrs. Norris who acted separately.

Hermione was panting, hiding beside a suit of armor, clutching the clothes on her chest tightly with her hands, looking like she was about to cry.

"We shouldn't have paid any attention to that idiot Noah!"

Two huge shadows were projected onto the walls at the ends of the corridor, blocking the two girls' way while approaching them step by step.

Just as Filch's approaching figure was about to turn the corner, a pair of arms suddenly emerged from behind him, tightly grasped his neck, and dragged him into the darkness.

"Uh, uh, uh!"

Filch struggled desperately, but how could his old and frail body possibly break free?

"Relax, relax," Noah's voice was like the whisper of a devil, "I will count to three, and you will fall asleep. This has never happened before..."

"One, two..."

Just as Noah was about to count to three, Filch felt the iron arm that was blocking his airway suddenly loosen, but before he could shout for help, a club hit him on the back of his head.

"three."

Filch's body collapsed to the ground like a noodle that had lost its soul.

Physical hypnosis, any questions?

Absolutely not.

Crouching beside Filch's "body", Noah's hands were covered with scarlet mist.

The two girls squatting behind their armor stared at the flash of red light at the end of the corridor. They were somewhat confused about the situation, but still did not dare to act rashly.

The two men stared at the direction where the red light was flashing, and saw a black shadow at an extremely fast speed suddenly jump out of the darkness and pass through the wide-open window.

The strange figure, like a monster, instantly frightened the two of them so much that they hugged each other tightly.

They didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of accidentally attracting the monster.

The figure was like a nighthawk with its wings spread out. It suddenly changed its trajectory at an incredible angle in the night sky outside the castle, and then flew in from a window at the other end of the corridor.

The rolling immediately after landing almost suppressed all sounds to the extreme.

As the figure sank back into the darkness, a shrill cat cry suddenly exploded at the other end of the corridor, and then stopped abruptly.

pat, pat.

The dull sound of footsteps came from far away.

The two girls, thinking they had encountered a ghost, hugged each other tightly and trembled.

"What should I do?" Shirley fumbled for her wand in panic. "I don't want to die yet!"

Hermione was equally panicked. Although her hands were shaking uncontrollably, she still raised her wand and pointed it in the direction of the footsteps.

Just as the figure was about to emerge from the darkness, the two girls closed their eyes and screamed in unison.

"Ah!" A loud scream pierced the night sky, and two stunning spells suddenly burst out from the tips of the two men's wands.

"It's me!" Noah frantically dodged the two men's random shooting spell. "It's me! Noah! Wake up!"

The familiar voice made the two people's screams stop abruptly, just like Mrs. Norris's screams.

"Noah!?"

Shirley opened her tightly closed eyes, and after seeing the face of the person in front of her in the faint moonlight, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get up quickly, I have something to tell you later."

Noah stretched out his hands and helped up the two girls who had rashly run out for a night stroll but were so frightened that their legs went limp.

"The shout you just made will attract the Night Watch Professor here!"

……

Ten minutes later, the Night Walk trio hid in the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle, which was designated as a restricted area by Dumbledore.

"Tell me, what's going on? Why are you two good students out for a night out?"

Noah handed each of the two girls a piece of chocolate to calm them down.

After that, he took off a helmet from the rusty armor next to him, cleaned it with a "cleaner", and used it as a bench, sitting down on it without any image.

The dilapidated helmet creaked under the weight.

"It's Ron! We just ran into him when we came out of the classroom!"

When Hermione heard Noah mention this, she was furious. "He secretly slipped a note into Filch's office saying that you were wandering around the castle at night!"

snow

Li added, "He must have heard about your night tour tonight during lunch, so he..."

"How did you find out?"
