Chapter 172 A Night at Hogwarts

"Wait a minute..." George suddenly discovered a contradiction: "So... the reason why the house elf found Harry was because-"

"——Does he mean no harm? Does he really want to protect Harry?" Fred said almost at the same time.

Vader nodded: "He may really think that Hogwarts is in danger, so he doesn't want Harry to return to school."

"Then his way of protecting people is quite unique."

Fred frowned: "If that's the case, why did you suspect that the house elf was involved in this incident again? His name is... uh..."

"Dobby." George said, "I remember Harry said that he called himself Dobby."

"The living environment and way of thinking of house elves are different from us."

Wade said: "It's just like he thinks Hogwarts is in danger and would rather have Harry expelled from school than let him come back; maybe he is also worried that something bad will happen to Harry if he continues to stay in school... "

"—So just send him to St. Mungo's first?" Fred said.

George shook his head: "What danger can there be in Hogwarts? The safest place is... uh..."

Suddenly I thought of Voldemort who sneaked into the school last year, and I couldn't say the usual words.

"The biggest danger this semester is our maze challenge..."

Fred looked back at the huge maze in the night and said, "Will Harry meet a mysterious person in the maze?"

"Who knows?" Vader said: "Dobby is just one possibility of the murderer; or maybe, as you guessed, it was a Slytherin student who did it; or it was a Death Eater who concealed his identity, or Or maybe it was just a simple accident..."

"Anyway, rather than sneaking into the Slytherin common room, I would like to ask Harry if he has any clues."

Vader suspected it was Dobby, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

Because he flapped his butterfly wings a little too hard, many things in this world became increasingly different from the original plot, and Vader's "prophet" advantage was gradually lost.

Fortunately, Harry quickly gave him a definite answer, letting Wade know that the world had not gone too far off track.

"It's the house elf, the one named Dobby."

Harry, who was lying on the hospital bed, said angrily: "I met him in the maze. I thought he was the school's rescue elf. Later, when I saw the clothes, I realized it was him..."

"What did he say, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"He said he had warned me and asked me why I wanted to go back to school..."

Harry looked angry and disgusted at being entangled in an illegitimate meal.

"He also said that in this case... being seriously injured and being sent home would be better than being here."

"Didn't he say what dangers there are in Hogwarts?" Wade asked.

"It seems like he mentioned something..." Harry recalled, and it took him a long time to say: "What he said...history will repeat itself, and the Chamber of Secrets will be opened again...I don't understand what it means - what secret room?"

"As for the secret room, that would be too much..." George touched his chin.

"I seem to have seen similar content in books..." Hermione frowned: "I'll check it out later."

The door to the school doctor's office was pushed open, and Neville, Theo and others came in from the door.

"Harry, are you feeling better? We brought you some food from the Great Hall..."

Lockhart, who was in the hospital bed next door, was awakened by the noise. He rubbed his eyes in confusion and sat up, asking, "Is it dawn? Why is it so noisy?"

Lockhart opened his eyes and saw Neville walking just in front of his hospital bed.

Eyes facing each other.

Neville could only say: "Good evening, Professor. Are you feeling better?"

"Much better, Longbottom. You came to visit me and brought me a cake? How very polite!"

Lockhart said as he reached out and snatched the cake from Neville's arms.

He looked around at the students around him and said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, kids, don't worry! It's just a small mistake. Your favorite professor - I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Level 3 Merlin Medal recipients will still appear in class on time tomorrow..."

The students looked at each other and smiled awkwardly but politely.

Fred whispered to his brother: "If we change his medicine, can he stay in the school doctor's office for two more days?"

George forced out a sentence through his teeth: "Do you want to be killed by Madam Pomfrey?"

…

Hogwarts was completely shrouded in night.

Wade stood in front of the window and saw Hagrid holding a lantern and patrolling around the maze. A Thestral followed behind him, spreading its bat-like wings and flapping from time to time.

Some students wandering around the maze were caught by Hagrid and all were rushed back to the castle. That is to say, it is not yet the curfew time, otherwise I will be punished with a few days of confinement.

These students are just like children in ordinary families who have just been exposed to online games. Even though I know there is danger, I still can't resist the joy brought by the game.

As the night deepened, the lights in the castle gradually became sparse, but the edge connecting the Forbidden Forest and the maze became lively, with creatures poking their heads there from time to time.

The architecture of Hogwarts has been built for thousands of years, but now there is a huge maze. This is probably new to the creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

The shimmering unicorn took the cub and walked around the maze freely, and was led by Hagrid for a walk.

Several centaurs stood under the big tree, holding bows and arrows in their hands, their bodies hidden in the shadows, pointing at the maze and saying something, as if they were arguing.

After a while, they left again.

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the dim light flickered, and the creatures in the Forbidden Forest took advantage of the night to run out to watch the excitement.

In the Black Lake, the giant squid surfaced again, and some strange-looking mermaids poked their heads out, their heads like reefs in the lake.

The excitement during the day belongs to the students, but the night seems to be the world of animals.

I wonder if the professors of the school can convince them to volunteer to serve as NPCs in the maze...

Wade thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

Although there is a magic contract that can restrain animals from harming students. But the intelligent creatures in the magic world are usually very proud. They are afraid of wizards and look down on humans.

Although wizards often have the same view.

Wade watched the maze sink into the night and be swallowed by darkness. He heard rustling sounds coming from the room behind him, and knew that the house elves came to clean up the room.

"Zoe?" Wade looked back at the elf and asked, "I have something to ask you for help?"

"Of course, Mr. Grey." Zoe bowed and said, "What can I do for you?"

"There may be an elf sneaking into the school recently. It's called Dobby and he's dressed in rags." Wade said, "If you see it, can you bring it to me?"

The second update is still at night
