A day at Hogwarts

It was quiet in the castle at midnight, the candles in the corridor were all extinguished, only a little moonlight came through the windows.

In the corridor on the first floor under the tallest tower of Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore stood in the shadow of a suit of armor, and said to the empty space between himself and the suit: "Excellent invisibility, "Invisibility" by Lihen Bookstore Have you found the Invisible Book of Art?"

There was no sound in the empty space, only a candy bee flew out. Someone tried to bribe the principal with the candy that was just taken from the principal's office.

There was a barely audible sound of panting and footsteps at the end of the corridor, but there seemed to be nothing from where the sound came from.

Dumbledore disappeared into the shadows chewing honey bee candy, standing quietly without making a sound.

Charles confirmed one thing. Harry's invisibility cloak only protected against visible light, not infrared rays. Under the cloak, Harry's trio could be seen bending over and carrying a box.

There was a sudden noise from the other end of the corridor. Harry and the others were taken aback and hurriedly hid in the shadows. If Dumbledore hadn't moved and Charles squeezed, they would have been hit.

"Stop confinement!" Professor McGonagall walked outside, twisting Malfoy's ear with a lantern in one hand, "Twenty points deducted from Slytherin!"

Charles was a little cowardly, and he probably wouldn't end up much better if he was caught.

Malfoy explained in a panic that Harry would bring a fire dragon here later, but this sounded too outrageous, and Professor McGonagall asked him to talk to Snape.

Harry and the others moved quickly after Professor McGonagall's voice disappeared, carrying the box and running up the tower.

Charles originally wanted to be lively from the beginning to the end, but he didn't expect Dumbledore to be there, so he lost his quality for a while, and slipped away after Harry and the others went up to the tower.

The next morning, the Gryffindor students suddenly discovered that their house points had been deducted by 250 points.

Everyone quickly figured out that Harry, Ron, Hermione, Seamus and Neville wandered around the castle in violation of the curfew at midnight last night, and were finally caught by Professor McGonagall.

Gryffindor's unprecedented point deduction made the students very angry. The four hundred points that Charles and Seamus received from the Order of Merlin First Class and the one hundred points that Eleanor brought back from the Potions Tournament Let Gryffindor take the lead and was expected to set the record for the highest score in history this term, but it was chopped down not long before the end of the term.

Ravenclaw ranked second because of Olivia and Joyce's 200 points, and now suddenly the gap with the first place is not that big. It seems that if you work harder, you can win the Academy Cup up.

As for Slytherin, everyone finally made up the negative points to positive numbers, thinking that they can breathe a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be Malfoy again, the first to get caught last night.

Professor McGonagall deducted fifty points from each of his students at once, and Snape couldn't cover up too much, so he deducted fifty points from Pony, plus the twenty points that Professor McGonagall deducted at the beginning The total is seventy points.

So Slytherin became negative again.

The Hufflepuffs had a great time eating melons and watching the show, and expressed their willingness to take Malfoy in as a guard.

In the following time, the students of several colleges started a frenzied battle for points, so that Charles even started to earn points in the Charms and Transfiguration classes.

"Perfect!" Professor McGonagall shouted happily again, "Smith, add 5 points!"

In front of Charles, a rabbit transforms into a crystal clear glass.

Unskilled use of transfiguration will leave the original traces of the transformed object, such as a pinch of white hair growing on the glass, and the glass transformed by Parvati Patil even retains the ears of the rabbit and tail.

It can be seen that Charles' transfiguration is extremely proficient and has reached a perfect level.

Professor McGonagall said to him with satisfaction: "Well done, keep working hard, but also take a good rest."

Charles nodded with a smile.

After Professor McGonagall went to instruct the next student, Hermione, who was sitting in front, turned around and asked him, "How did you do it?"

Charles just raised his hand and gave her a look at his gauze-wrapped wrist.

Hermione asked him in surprise, "Are you hurt?"

Charles replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've been practicing shortening the casting time recently, and I'm a little tired."

As the day to make trouble approached, he was a little nervous, and he had been practicing speeding up his spellcasting recently.

This afternoon, Hermione reminded everyone on their way to the library that the exam was a week away.

In the evening, Harry, who didn't show up all afternoon, invited everyone to a nearby empty classroom to chat about "that rock", and even dragged Charles along.

Harry said solemnly to everyone: "The person who wants to steal that stone already knows how to get through Lu Wei."

Then he explained to Charles: "Lu Wei is Hagrid's three-headed dog, and he is currently guarding the stone at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor."

Charles frowned and asked him, "How do you know?"

Hermione and Ron were also question marks.

Harry replied: "When I was eating eggs for lunch, it suddenly occurred to me that dragon eggs are dangerous goods, and it is against the law to carry them privately. Who would carry them with them and just meet Hagrid who wants to raise a dragon?"

"So I went to Hagrid in the afternoon to inquire, and found out that he slipped his mouth when he was drinking with the man with the dragon egg, and revealed the way to pass Lu Wei!"

Hermione and Ron were taken aback, while Charles nodded slightly.

Harry continued: "I recently found out that Quirrell is different from before, like a different person."

"I think it's likely that something happened to him while he was out on a trip to make this change."

"I'm worried, he wants the stone too."

Charles pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why does he want that stone?"

Harry said to him: "Remember what happened in Little Whinging two years ago, the salesman lost a lot of money in gambling and became very abnormal, and later found out that he was stealing things from the mall to sell. "

Charles nodded, there is such a thing.

Harry continued: "I'm worried that Quirrell is like that too. He lost a lot of money and was forced to go back to Hogwarts to steal things, so he seems to be a different person."

"I have a guess. Quirrell knew that Snape was going to steal the stone, and then, as Charles said before, he pretended to refuse, and after a period of time had to agree to make the other party lose his vigilance, and finally snatched the thing after he succeeded. .”

Charles nodded, and then asked him, "Then what are you going to do next?"

Harry immediately replied, "Let's go tell Professor Dumbledore."
