Chapter 83 The extremely unlucky Daphne

Watching Charlie and his friends riding their brooms and carrying Norbert's box up into the night sky, gradually turning into a few small black dots, Harry and Ron suddenly felt a sense of relief: the burden on their hearts finally disappeared. . ♦ ˆ ♦ s⃣ ˆ h⃣ ˆ u⃣ ˆ x⃣ .⃣ ˆ c⃣ ˆ o⃣ ˆ m⃣

Raising fire dragons privately is against the laws of the magical world. Once caught revealing his identity, Hagrid will definitely go to jail. Although no one has discovered it so far, it is a landmine buried underground after all, and it will explode one day.

Now that this time bomb has finally been defused, the two of them can breathe a sigh of relief.

The three of them walked along the spiral staircase toward the astronomy tower. Harry and Ron were in such a happy mood that they were so relaxed that they even forgot to take the invisibility cloak. It was Daphne who had the sharp eye to bring it with her.

She wanted to see when the two of them would realize that they had left their invisibility cloak on the tower.

"So how did Hagrid get the dragon egg?"

"I don't know, go back and ask him -"

"So, what are you two doing here without sleeping at night?!" A female voice full of anger sounded from downstairs, making the three of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Professor McGonagall appeared. Her face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and she looked like she had run a long way. Behind her were Professors Flitwick and Sprout in their pajamas. Professor Flitwick clutched his wand tightly in his hand, while Professor Sprout held the wand in one hand and a strange-shaped plant in the other.

As the professor on duty tonight, by coincidence, Professor McGonagall saw Charlie and his party landing in the castle atrium.

A mysterious person parachutes into Hogwarts at night? This is no small matter. She immediately made the connection between the previous Halloween troll incident and what she saw tonight.

This is the dark wizard who covets the Philosopher's Stone and is infiltrating Hogwarts!

After coming to this conclusion, Professor McGonagall rushed towards the astronomy tower where the unknown person landed, and summoned his Patronus to wake up the two reliable professors Flitwick and Sprout from their sleep.

She believed that the three of them working together would be enough to catch all the dark wizards who had sneaked into the school.

As a result, they didn't meet the dark wizard. Instead, they met Harry and Ron who were wandering around the castle without sleeping at night.

"Minerva..." Flitwick tugged on Professor McGonagall's sleeves, and she immediately realized: the matter of Potter and Weasley can be put aside for now, the key to the matter is to check those who sneaked into the school. Where did they go - they probably hid after hearing the two Potters' voices.

Professor McGonagall held her wand and cautiously walked upstairs.

Harry and Ron stood aside, not daring to say a word, let alone asking Professor McGonagall why she acted so abnormally. Daphne put on the invisibility cloak as soon as she heard Professor McGonagall's voice. She was lucky, Professor McGonagall only saw Harry and Ron walking in front, and found no trace of her.

Professor Sprout protected the two of them behind him. Flitwick stood there without moving, secretly observing Harry and Ron. He was worried that these two people were disguised as infiltrators. If they made any move, he would knock them unconscious without hesitation.

Professor McGonagall walked up to the astronomy tower and searched around, but found no trace of outsiders.

She narrowed her eyes.

Illusion spell? Or is it some other trick? No big deal!

"Ten Thousand Curses Appear! Traces Appear!" She raised her wand high above her head and cast a Appearance Spell and an Appearance Spell around her.

The next moment, the traces left by the previous people began to appear on the floor tiles of the tower in reverse chronological order: first there were three sets of footprints leading downstairs, and then there were the shadows of four people riding broomsticks...

Daphne, who stood aside silently, feeling that she had dodged a bullet, felt that the blood in her brain ran cold when she saw the three lines of footprints.

She subconsciously used flying magic, wrapped in Harry's invisibility cloak, and flew out of the tower, but it was already too late. If she had run out as soon as Professor McGonagall arrived, she might have been able to escape, but now she could only become a turtle in the urn.

Professor McGonagall, who sensed the unusual number of people, waved her wand suddenly. In an instant, all the windows in the astronomy tower were tightly closed, and then a strong wind blew up inside the tower.

Before Daphne could react, the invisibility cloak on her body was blown off by the wind. She could feel the eyes of three professors and two classmates focused on her.

Daphne:......

An awkward smile appeared on her face: "Professor McGonagall, please allow me to explain."

explain? nonexistent.

Professor McGonagall, who was so angry that he almost lost his mind, used his wand to create a rope, pulled Daphne out of the air, and then made her stand with Harry and Ron.

The three of them huddled in the corner of the tower like chickens, shivering, waiting for Professor McGonagall's trial.

After using magic to investigate, Professor McGonagall ruled out the possibility of someone sneaking into Hogwarts - outsiders did arrive, but they quickly left with a large box.

Professor McGonagall suppressed her anger and, after dealing with the most important matters, turned her attention to Daphne and the other three.

Immediately afterwards, Flitwick and Sprout had a sense of déjà vu as they witnessed the Howler's letter being opened. Professor McGonagall's roar could be heard throughout the Astronomy Tower.

After about three minutes, Professor McGonagall regained her composure.

"I can't believe it's one o'clock in the morning. Two Gryffindors and one Slytherin are not sleeping in the dormitory, but out in the astronomy tower. Please explain yourself." After Professor McGonagall finished asking the question , I also feel quite strange: When can Gryffindor students and Slytherin children act together?

Harry and Ron were confused, and Daphne, who always thought she was smart and smart, really didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that the three of them were acting like mutes, Professor McGonagall felt that the anger in her heart was rising again.

"If you can't answer this question, then tell me who you met? Don't tell me, you met by chance."

"It's my brother, Charlie, and his friends." Ron said in a very low voice.

Professor McGonagall narrowed her eyes.

Charlie Weasley was a name she was very familiar with. She knew that the child went to Romania to study fire dragons after graduation. With a few key clues, a shocking truth is about to come out.

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Daphne Greengrass may have hatched a fire dragon in the castle! Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the three of them met Charlie Weasley on the Astronomy Tower in the middle of the night and asked him to take away a box of things. It couldn't be that Ron made some pies for his brother to eat, right?
