The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts

Chapter 15: First invasion

   After returning from Hogward Village, the three of them freshened up, changed their clothes, and went to the hall to attend the Halloween dinner together.

   There are hundreds of pumpkin lanterns hung in the auditorium, as well as a group of fluttering bats and many flame-spitting orange streamers, which float lazily under the ceiling, like brilliant water snakes. The food at the banquet was exquisite, and everyone seemed very happy.

The dinner ended with the entertainment program provided by the ghosts. The ghosts suddenly appeared from the walls and tables as a kind of parade; the ghost of Gryffindor Court nearly headless Nick successfully reproduced his murder. Head situation.

   Everyone felt like they had a nice evening, but less than ten minutes after the dinner, everything turned around. The little happiness accumulated at the Halloween party disappeared, and the atmosphere of panic filled the castle again.

   When the dinner was over, Schelling went back to the common room with the other Slytherin classmates. But the Harry trio found that in front of the common room of Gryffindor Yard-in front of the portrait of the fat lady, there were many people crowded, and Pepy Ghost was jumping on top of the crowd, very happy Look like.

Before they squeezed into the crowd, Professor Dumbledore hurried to get the news. He hurriedly walked towards the portrait of the fat woman. The students of Gryffindor House huddled together to let him pass. Harry and the others moved closer. Some, want to see clearly where the trouble is.

   In front of them, the portrait of the fat woman was maliciously damaged. Portraits and small canvas pieces were all over the ground, and the large canvas was completely torn away from the frame.

   "Professor McGonagall, please go to Filch immediately and tell him to look for the fat lady on every painting in the castle..." Dumbledore said quickly.

   "Good luck!" said a voice giggling. It was Pepy Ghost who loves to do pranks. He jumped on top of everyone's heads, seeing this scene of misfortune and trouble, he was as happy as usual.

   "What did you say, Pepy Ghost?" Dumbledore asked calmly, the smile on Pepy Ghost's face narrowed. He dared not laugh at Dumbledore. He changed a flattering tone, but it didn't sound much better than the giggles just now.

Pippi grinned, "Sorry, Mr. Principal! She didn't want to be seen, she was messed up. I saw her running past the landscape painting on the fifth floor, sir, hiding among the trees, crying and saying something. Terrible thing."

   "Did she say who did it?" Dumbledore asked quietly.

"Oh, let's say, the professor!" Pippi was so angry that he was holding a big bomb in his arms. "She wouldn't let him in, he was very annoyed, you know. He has a really bad temper, this Sirius Black!"

   Hearing Pippi’s words, everyone gasped. Sirius Black actually broke into the castle and even tried to enter the Gryffindor common room. This is terrible. Fortunately, it is Halloween, and no one is in the tower. Dumbledore asked all students to return to the auditorium immediately. In order to ensure safety, the faculty members will conduct a thorough search of the castle.

  The plot returns to Schelling.

After the dinner, the little Slytherin wizards who were still in excitement gathered in the common room. Schelling and the 3rd grade classmates occupied a corner and shared their experience in Hogsmeade today. For example, Knott and Blaise showed off Ms. Rosmerta's beauty to the missed Schelling, Pansy and her girlfriends shared the spoils of today's shopping...

   At this time, Prefect Gemma suddenly broke into the common room, "Attention everyone! Go to the auditorium!" Her tone was a little hurried, it seemed that something extraordinary had happened.

   "What's the matter, Gemma?" Schelling stood up and asked. Schelling and Gemma communicate frequently during the summer vacation, and the relationship between the two is familiar enough to match their names.

"I don't know. This was ordered by Professor Dumbledore. Something must have happened." Gemma's tone showed anxiety. "The students from other colleges have also been called over. Can't be late!"

   So the little snakes once again filed out of the opening of the common room and rushed to the auditorium. I don't know if it is a psychological factor. The shadow of the torch is projected on the wall, and the wall that looks dignified, thick and reliable in ordinary days, turns out to be a stage for a crowd of demons dancing.

   "Something happened. The faculty and I will conduct a thorough search of the castle," Professor Dumbledore said to the students. His tone was far less cheerful than usual, but a mixture of dignity and worry. At this time, the four deans jointly closed all the doors of the auditorium.

"For your own safety, I think you may be staying here for the night. I ask the prefects to stand guard at the entrance of the auditorium, and the boys and girls student union chairpersons stay in the auditorium to take charge of management. Report anything to me immediately," Dumbledore instructed Percy and Penello, Percy’s face was full of the pride of important people, "Just find a ghost and give me a message."

Professor Dumbledore stopped talking and was about to leave the auditorium, but then said: "Oh, yes, maybe you need this!" With a light wave of his wand, the long tables flew to the edge of the auditorium, automatically leaning against them. The wall was standing; with another light wave, hundreds of soft purple sleeping bags appeared on the ground.

  As soon as the professors left, there was a chattering sound in the auditorium, and Gryffindor's classmates told classmates in other colleges about what had just happened.

   "Lie down and rest now! Turn off the lights in ten minutes!" Percy exclaimed with unspeakable enthusiasm and pride.

   Schelling pulled up four sleeping bags and took Daphne, Meredith, and Astoria to a corner next to him. They got into the sleeping bag. Daphne was on Schelling’s left and Meredith was on Schelling’s right. Astoria snorted dissatisfiedly, and then reluctantly slept to Fanny’s left, separated from Schelling. My own sister.

   Astoria worried and said: "You said that Black is still in the castle?"

   Xie Lin said indifferently: "I dare to say that he has left. Dumbledore is still in the castle. If he has not left, there will be no chance. Tonight, the search by the professors is doomed to be futile."

   Meredith thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask a question: How did Blake get in Hogwarts?

A shrewd look flashed through Schelling's eyes and said, "It is not possible to Apparate within Hogwarts. The Floo network and door keys are also monitored. All important passages, including the sky above, are guarded by dementors, so Stealth magic is also useless. Transfiguration or compound decoction may be able to sneak into Hogwarts, but Black, a fugitive wanted criminal, is unlikely to do it without support (human transformation requires (Information, compound decoction requires raw materials). Eliminating these impossibility, the only possibility is that Black has mastered a secret road that no one else knows!"

   The three daughters watched him make inferences so firmly in such a short time, and they were methodical, and it was unexpected and admired for a while.

   Then, Schelling flashed a shrewd eye, and said: "Rather than discuss this, it is better to discuss Black sneaking into Hogwarts. What is the picture?"

   "Isn't it to kill Harry?" Meredith wondered.

The corners of Schelling’s mouth raised slightly, “If it’s to kill Harry, why did he choose this time today? Doesn’t he know that all the students are in the auditorium? Take a step back, even if his intelligence is wrong, After discovering that he could not enter the dormitory, why did he tear up the portrait?"

   "Indeed, there is no benefit to tearing up the portrait except to stun the snake." Meredith also reacted quickly.

   "Could it be that he escaped from Azkaban, his spirit is a little abnormal?" Daphne said hesitantly.

Schelling shook his head slowly, "Do you think that a mentally abnormal person can escape from Azkaban, can span thousands of miles from the North Sea, can sneak into Hogwarts? You know that Black's wanted order is at the same time as the wizard. Announced in the world and the Muggle world, being able to avoid heavy searches without being caught is enough to prove that his sanity is still there. It is impossible for him to do such a thing that is harmful to no benefit—"

Schelling explained: "If we didn't tear up the painting~www.readwn.com~, we would never know that Blake had invaded. Until the fat lady said it, we did not know that Blake was invaded and not someone else, and he could not. I don’t know, tearing off the portrait won’t kill the fat lady’s mouth."

   "You mean..." Meredith felt a little frustrated, as if she couldn't catch up with Schelling's ideas.

"You mean, Black's purpose is not Harry. The purpose of tearing off the portrait is to create an illusion and divert attention. In fact, he wants something from the Gryffindor lounge?" This time, Daphne reacted first. After coming over, although she is not very good at logic and reasoning, she is good at grasping people's hearts.

   "That's right!" Xie Lin leaned her head and kissed Daphne on the cheek, making her blush, while Meredith showed a sour and enviable expression. "If you want to find a reason for Blake's behavior, he picks this one when everyone is not in the common room. He is obviously looking for something. As for tearing off the portrait, it is purely to create a false image of assassinating Harry! I dare to say that he will definitely come back again. When the professors are stupidly guarding Harry and focusing their attention on Harry, it is the time for him to make another move."

Daphne and Meredith have long been numb to Schelling’s power, but Astoria, who was in the audience, saw her idol stunned for the first time. He clarified the whole matter through a few small details, even the professors. I can't wait, the bright eyes are shining with admiration and admiration, and Daphne and Meredith, who can be close to Schelling, are also envious.

   The four fell silent. Along with the silence, they also began to feel tired, and soon fell asleep.
