After returning to the wooden house, Jon began to have a bad feeling in his heart.
It was as if, perhaps, it was today that Harry and the others ran into that house?
He was not sure, because his memory of the time had become very vague. He only vaguely remembered that it was these two days.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking so down? "
Stephen, Fran, and Scully were already waiting here. The four of them had planned to play cards all night, so they came out of the dormitory as a group. They did not expect that Jon would start to be distracted now.
"You're not sleepy, are you?" Scully pulled out a small bottle from the pocket of his robe. It was filled with a strange liquid.
"Do you want to try this? I bought it from the Gryffindor twins. It's said that one sip can wake you up. "
"No need."
Jon shook his head. "I just feel that something is going to happen, so I'm a little worried. But, the professors are watching. Let's start playing."
...
But today, the Hogwarts Castle was not peaceful.
Almost all the ghosts had been mobilized by Naughty, going invisible all over the castle, watching the path of Gryffindor to the entrance of the fourth floor.
But Harry did not know about this.
No one cared about them.
This was the first time in many days that Harry was not sad about this.
Hermione was busy flipping through all her notes, hoping to come across a spell that they would break later. Harry and Ron did not speak, thinking about what they were about to do.
The students went to bed one by one, and the people in the common room gradually decreased.
"We can get the invisibility cloak," Ron whispered.
Ron whispered. At this time, Lee Jordan finally stretched and yawned as he left. Harry ran upstairs, rushed into their dark dormitory, and took out the invisibility cloak. At this time, he accidentally saw the flute that Hagrid gave him for Christmas. He put the flute in his pocket, ready to use it to deal with Luv. He felt that he was not in the mood to sing to the big dog.
Then he quickly ran back to the common room and began to discuss with his teammates. "We better put on the invisibility cloak here and see if it can cover all three of us. If Filch sees a pair of feet walking on the ground by themselves —"
"What are you doing?"
A voice sounded from a corner of the room. Neville flashed out from behind an armchair, holding his toad, Raffles. It seemed that Raffles had just fought for his freedom again.
"Nothing, Neville. Nothing."
Harry said as he quickly hid the Invisibility Cloak behind his back.
Neville stared at their guilty faces and said,
"You're planning to leave again."
"No," Hermione quickly explained. "We don't want to go out. Neville, why don't you go to bed? "
Harry looked at the grandfather clock by the door. They had no time to lose. Snape was probably already playing music to put Rowey to sleep.
"You can't go out," said Neville. "You'll be caught again, and Gryffindor's luck will be worse."
"You don't understand," said Harry. "This is very important."
But this time, Neville seemed to be determined to stop them at all costs.
"I won't let you do that."
He rushed to stand in front of the hole in the portrait. "I want — I want to fight you!"
"Neville," said Ron angrily. "Get out of that hole. Don't be an idiot —"
"Don't call me an idiot!" said Neville. "I don't think you should break school rules any more! And it was you who encouraged me to stand up to the others! "
"Yes, but not against us," said Ron angrily.
Ron said angrily, "Neville, you don't know what you're doing."
He took a step forward. Neville threw away Raffles the toad, and the little thing hopped out of sight.
"Come on, come and hit me!"
Neville raised both his fists. "I'm ready!"
Harry had no choice. He turned to Hermione and said anxiously, "Do something quickly. We don't have time."
Hermione came forward and raised her wand.
"Neville," she said, "I am very, very sorry for doing this.
— Petrify all of you! "
She pointed her wand at Neville and shouted softly.
Neville's arms slapped to his sides, his legs straightened, and his whole body became stiff. Then, he swayed a few times on the spot and fell to the ground with a plop. He looked as hard as a wooden board.
Hermione ran to him and turned him over. His upper and lower gums were locked together and he could not speak. Only his eyes were moving, looking at Hermione and the others in horror.
"What did you do to him?"
Harry asked in a low voice.
"It's a Binding Spell."
Hermione said sadly. "Oh, Neville, I'm so sorry."
"You'll understand later, Neville," said Ron.
Ron said. Then they stepped over Neville and put on the Invisibility Cloak.
And just as they left Gryffindor's lounge, an elf suddenly appeared in Jon's cabin.
"Good evening, Talos. What's the matter?"
Jon put down the cards in his hand and turned to ask.
The little elf nodded her head.
"The three little Wizard left Gryffindor, so the secretary sent me to inform you. He will delay for a while, and hopes that you can go quickly."
"What's the use of me going?"
Chown complained, but he still put down the cards in his hand.
"Everyone, shall we go together?"
...
In the castle.
Leaving Neville lying on the floor, Harry and the others walked in the corridor, feeling that this was not a good sign.
In a situation of high tension, every statue in the shadows was like a shadow of Filch, and every sound of wind in the distance sounded like a naughty ghost pouncing on them.
Just as they were about to go up the first staircase, they suddenly saw Madam Loris hiding at the top of the stairs.
"Oh, let's kick it, just this once," Ron whispered to Harry.
Ron whispered in Harry's ear, but Harry shook his head. They walked carefully around it. Lady Dolores looked at them with bright eyes, but saw nothing.
They did not meet anyone along the way and successfully reached the stairs to the fourth floor. The naughty ghost was skipping up the stairs, loosening the carpet on the stairs, trying to make someone fall.
"Who's that over there?"
Just as they stepped on the stairs and walked towards the naughty ghost, the naughty ghost suddenly narrowed its black eyes and said in their direction, "I know you're there, although I can't see you. Are you a ghoul, a ghost, or a student?"
