According to Ron and Hermione's wishes, they were planning to come over and chat with Harry after dinner. However, Harry rejected their kindness and just asked Ron to go back to the dormitory to get his schoolbag for him.
"I've fallen behind on some homework."
Harry sat on the bed, opened his schoolbag and took a look. Then, in the worried eyes of Ron and Hermione, he pretended to be relaxed and said,
"I need a quiet environment to work on my History of Magic homework, so you can go about your business."
Harry's clumsy lies could not be hidden from anyone. Ron looked at Harry on the bed worriedly, ready to say something, but Hermione beside him punched him hard in the ribs and ordered him to shut up.
"Okay, Harry--"
Hermione glared at Ron, "If you need any help-"
Hermione quickly glanced at the invisibility cloak peeking out of her bag and said,
"Ron and I are staying in the lounge. You can greet us at any time."
Then, without any explanation, he pulled the confused Ron out of the school hospital.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, the sky was already dark without a trace of light.
As a frequent visitor to the campus hospital, Harry was already familiar with Madam Pomfrey's habits. When the time came to nine o'clock, Madam Pomfrey left her small office and went around the wards. When she When he saw Harry sleeping obediently, he nodded with satisfaction, then scolded the two first-year wizards in Ravenclaw who had a bad cold before going to bed, and then extinguished the candles in the entire hospital.
In the darkness, Harry pricked his ears and listened carefully. After confirming that Madam Pomfrey had returned to the office, he glanced at the two first-year students several beds away who were secretly chatting very attentively. He slid down from the edge of the bed.
When it comes to wandering around the castle in the middle of the night, in the entire Hogwarts, if Harry claims to be third, then no one dares to claim second... As for first, Ron's two brothers, Fred and George , tied for first place.
Now, although it was not the specified time, there was no one in the castle. Along the way, except for a few fifth-year students who would face the OWLS exam in the second half of the year, Harry only spotted Mal when passing by the auditorium. Fu, Crabbe, and Goyle were walking towards the Slytherin basement, and everyone had a look of despair on their faces.
Something's wrong...
Harry glanced at the dark outside and thought strangely.
He subconsciously took a few steps to catch up, and then was forced back by a disgusting stench.
Oh, right!
Harry suddenly remembered that Professor Blaine had said before the interesting competition the day before yesterday that the winning college would get fifty extra points, while the losing college would have to go to Owlery shed cleaning.
In that competition, Malfoy and Parkinson, who had a great opportunity, ultimately lost the victory due to a series of complex factors. According to Harry's understanding of this annoying academy, they would probably lose all responsibility. To Malfoy... Parkinson pushed himself and Neville off the boat. This was probably one of the few bright spots in Slytherin's eyes, so Malfoy should bear all the consequences.
As for Crabbe and Goyle, they were probably brought up by Malfoy.
Looking at the dejected backs of the three Slytherins, Harry instinctively wanted to smile happily. However, thinking about Malfoy's 'noble' behavior after he and Neville were pushed into the water, Harry hesitated. Finally, after silently shaking his head, he quietly walked in another direction.
Arriving on the third floor and walking towards Professor Blaine's office, Harry paused for a while in front of Professor Lupin's office.
For this year's professor, who had a gentle temper and was widely praised for his teaching, Harry also had a great impression... not just a favorable impression, but an inexplicable kindness. Harry could also feel Professor Lupin The attitude towards himself is also beyond the normal relationship between teachers and students.
"It's not often that a wizard dares to call Voldemort by his first name--"
Thinking of the last time he and Lupine met in Hogsmeade, Harry, who was hiding under the invisibility cloak, grunted.
In the end, Harry did not choose to knock on Professor Lupin's office. Although he was very concerned about Professor Lupin's condition, he did not want to disturb his rest.
Harry felt much more relaxed about meeting Professor Blaine.
Professor Brain helped him get rid of his identity as the "Heir of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets", which was a great help to him. Moreover, during the summer vacation, he also let himself know his deepest secret--Professor Brain's own life experience. Until now, Harry had not revealed a single word about this matter to Ron and Hermione.
He spent most of August with Professor Brain. To be honest, it was a very pleasant summer vacation, because Professor Brain would never show off as an associate professor or an adult wizard in front of him. As a person, you can feel that he always gets along with you with the peaceful attitude of a friend.
Dude, dunk, dunk--
After looking around to make sure there were no other people or ghosts wandering around, Harry took off his invisibility cloak, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his bag, and then knocked on the door of Professor Blaine's office.
Professor Blaine appeared in front of him wearing gray pajamas and a dark green robe with silver patterns.
Professor Brain looked a little tired, because Harry saw a circle of dark circles under his wonderful lavender eyes, and Professor Brain's gray hair was a little messy, as if he didn't go out today. I ignored him.
"Harry--"
Amosta, who knew who it was before opening the door, looked at Harry who looked a little nervous, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile,
"It seems like you're recovering well?"
"That's right, Professor Blaine--"
Harry said a little awkwardly, "Mrs. Pomfrey thinks so too, well...she thinks I can be discharged from the hospital early..."
Amosta pursed his lips. He glanced at the bag in Harry's hand. He didn't expose his lie. He just stepped aside and said gently,
"Of course that's the case, then...it's a bit cold outside, we can come in and chat slowly."
This is why Professor Brain is so popular, he is always so considerate!
Harry raised his head and looked brighter, and followed Professor Blaine into the office.
"Professor Lu, Luping?"
When the door closed with a creak and he saw a man wearing old wizard robes and an obviously sick face next to the burning fireplace, Harry blinked in surprise.
"Professor Lu, Luping?"
"Good evening, Harry."
Against the background of the golden firelight, the smile on Professor Luping's face was particularly soft.
"It's nice to see you in such good spirits, Harry."
After saying this, Lupine looked at Amosta who returned to his desk.
"Thank you for your care and help these two days, Amosta, I think I can continue my work tomorrow... Since Harry has something to do with you--"
"Oh, it's actually nothing!"
Harry said embarrassedly,
"It's just, it's just... Well, I heard from Ron and Hermione yesterday. I mean, after I lost consciousness, you performed a magic... Well, it was wonderful..."
Amosta and Remus exchanged glances, both showing expressions of laughter.
"so--"
Amosta said cheerfully,
"Are you here specifically to praise me, Mr. Potter?"
