Chapter 300 Hogwarts Castle under martial law

"Harry! Harry!"

Before Dumbledore could issue martial law in the castle, Harry Potter had already rushed down like lightning.

When he heard what Peeves said, his vision suddenly went dark, and he only had one thought in his mind: kill Sirius to avenge his parents!

Black's face on the wanted poster kept rolling in his mind, and he firmly believed that the other party must be hiding somewhere in the castle.

"Stop, Potter!" Snape scolded sternly. Harry stopped and ran away.

Snape jumped down the movable staircase with a dark face and a gloomy expression. He ran and chased, and the sound of rapid footsteps disappeared deep into the corridor.

"Headmaster, Harry's wand." Roger threw the wand over, and Dumbledore caught it without saying anything.

Now that Sirius had sneaked into the school, there was no need to prevent Harry from escaping. It can even be said that Harry can protect himself only after getting the wand back.

"The castle is under martial law, Filch will take everyone to the auditorium." Dumbledore ordered calmly.

The Patil sisters felt uneasy. Their wands were still in Roger's hand. If they meet the wanted criminal, they won't even be able to use the magic spell.

The two people, who had no sense of security, deliberately stayed at the end, looking at Rogge with tears in their eyes.

"Chenghui, 7 Galleons." Rogge casually threw the wand to the two sisters. They put it together, and their whole bodies were less than 10 Galleons.

Looking at their embarrassed expressions, Rogge shook his head: "I'll pay it back next time."

He wouldn't deliberately embarrass two girls. As for Ron's wand, forget about it. Even if he uses it as a fire stick, he won't return it to Ron.

Besides, this isn't the first time Ron has changed his wand. Last week in Potions class, he had already taken out his new wand and made potions. It was obvious that the money from selling spider venom from last school year had not been used up yet.

"Tsk, tsk." Rogge looked at Ron's back and couldn't help but let out a strange chuckle. Weasley was really ruthless with his wand.

Principal Dumbledore ordered all students in the school to go to the auditorium. This order also included the young wizards who had returned to their dormitories to rest. The students looked puzzled and whispered among themselves, guessing what emergency had occurred.

"Roger, where did you go today?" Daphne stared at him closely and asked curiously, "Hermione and I didn't see you in Hogsmeade."

"I went to the bar."

"The Three Broomsticks?" Daphne asked.

"Yes, we also went to the Pig's Head Bar."

"Ah? That's a secret gathering place for dark wizards." Daphne's voice was trembling.

She had heard her father mention it. The Pig's Head Bar was home to many notorious wizards with blood on their hands. "My father said it was very dangerous there."

Roger comforted Daphne not to worry, "Actually, I just went to drink a glass of butterbeer..."

"Shh." Daphne quickly interrupted him, glanced at the professors cautiously, and whispered: "Professor McGonagall specially emphasized that underage wizards are not allowed to drink. She even talked to Rosmerta, the owner of the Three Broomsticks. The lady talked about not selling alcoholic beverages to us.”

"What a pity." She pouted, obviously full of curiosity and expectation for the taste of butterbeer.

Just as she was about to mention Pudif's Tea Shop, Dumbledore cleared his throat, attracting everyone's attention and preparing to make an important announcement.

"Sirius Black, a wanted criminal from the Ministry of Magic, sneaked into the castle and launched an attack on the Fat Lady..." Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, there was chaos below, with screams and noises happening one after another.

"Sirius Black? That dangerous wanted criminal? Did I hear you correctly?" The students were talking with horror on their faces.

"How...how did he get in? There are obviously Dementors guarding outside." A student asked tremblingly, feeling scared from the bottom of his heart for this fugitive from Azkaban.

Especially when I think of him sneaking into the school quietly and trying to break into Gryffindor, adding a bit of a scary atmosphere to the upcoming Halloween.

"Sister, I'm scared." Astoria ran over and buried her face in Daphne's arms, seeking comfort.

"Quiet." Dumbledore knocked on the table and said in a firm voice, "The professors and I will conduct a thorough search of the castle."

His blue eyes looked around everyone, and at this time, Professor Snape came back with Harry. As they entered the Great Hall, Professors McGonagall and Flitwick immediately closed all the doors and windows.

The magic door latch rotates and nests, making a clanging sound. It is strong and powerful, giving people a sense of security.

Dumbledore nodded slightly at Snape, and then said: "For your safety, I think you will stay here for the night. I ask the prefects to stand guard at the entrance of the auditorium, and the presidents of the boys' and girls' student unions stay in the auditorium to take charge of management. .If anything happens, report it to me immediately.”

He paused and told Percy to find the ghost. Then, he continued, "By the way, you're going to need these."

Dumbledore waved his wand casually, and the long tables automatically flew to the edge of the auditorium and were arranged neatly one by one. With another wave, hundreds of purple sleeping bags were spread out on the ground.

"Sleep well." Dumbledore closed the door and the auditorium suddenly filled with excited discussion.

Malfoy picked up the sleeping bag and said: "Roger, Black is a wanted criminal who kills people without blinking an eye. I...can I put the sleeping bag next to you?"

Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze coming from the front left. Daphne was looking at him quietly, and Malfoy immediately corrected him: "On the right..."

"The wall is on my right." Rogge shrugged helplessly at Malfoy.

As soon as Malfoy turned around, he almost ran into Pansy's majestic chest behind him. Roger silently sent him blessings in his heart, when he noticed Harry and Ron walking towards him.

Harry's eyes were slightly red, obviously he had just cried. His voice was a little hoarse: "Roger..."

"I just returned your wand to the principal." Rogge blocked his next question bluntly.

Harry's hand unconsciously clenched the Marauder's Map. He originally wanted to ask Roger if he could exchange the Marauder's Map for his wand. However, Rogge seemed to have expected all this.

Harry lowered his head in disappointment and walked back heavily. Ron patted his shoulder lightly and handed him his wand.

"Is he going to seek revenge on Sirius?" Although Daphne's voice was very soft, everyone around her could hear it clearly. Thinking of the Fat Lady who was attacked, everyone realized that Black was here to find Harry.

The discussion in the auditorium gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes turned to Harry and Ron in the corner.

"Turn out the lights now!" Percy seized this opportunity and shouted quickly: "Everyone get into their sleeping bags and stop talking."

All the candles were extinguished instantly, and the only light came from the silver ghost in the sky. But soon, Malfoy took out his magic flashlight and secretly showed it to the people around him.

The flicker of his sleeping bag drew Percy towards him. Under the other party's stern gaze and warning, he had to hand over the flashlight.

Astoria leaned next to her sister Daphne, they whispered and gradually became quiet. Rogge put his hands on the back of his head and stared at the bright sea of ​​stars on the ceiling.

Suddenly, he felt a cold wind coming. Then, Helena crossed the wall and floated above his head.

"Roger, it doesn't feel good sleeping on the floor." Helena floated back and forth in front of him, with a proud smile on her face.

"Have you found the crown?"

"I won't tell you, I won't tell you!" Helena smiled happily, but people felt that her smile was so arrogant that it deserved a slap.

Rogge turned sideways and closed his eyes, simply not seeing anything. But Helena still clung to him, deliberately lying against the wall with the ghost's illusory face facing her.

Helena swore in the name of Merlin that whenever Rogge opened his eyes, he would be frightened by her. How humiliating it would be to be scared and screamed by a ghost in front of the entire school.

Of course Percy and the other prefects noticed the glowing Helena, but when they thought it was Roger sleeping there, no one dared to ask.

The first person to come on night watch was Professor Flitwick. He saw the ghost of Ravenclaw lying in the corner and walked over curiously.
