Chapter 23 Invisibility Cloak

"What a bunch of sloppy brats." Brian thought to himself as he picked up the invisibility cloak.

Wish them good luck.

Brian checked the invisibility cloak in his hand. This was the Deathly Hallows he had the easiest access to.

The soft invisibility cloak was as cold as liquid, yet as light as nothing, shining silver in the moonlight.

Brian looked over and over, but naturally he couldn't see its mystery. It was very similar to a regular invisibility cloak, but it felt significantly better. This was the only conclusion he could draw.

Well, it's still too early for him to come into contact with the Deathly Hallows.

Brian put the invisibility cloak on his body, looked at his invisible hands, and thought that he might ask his father if he had a few invisibility cloaks in his collection. It works really well.

He had no intention of keeping the cloak for himself. He knew with his toes that Dumbledore would definitely be paying attention to this Deathly Hallows, and he didn't want to be visited by Dumbledore at any time.

"Give it back to them tomorrow." Brian walked down the tower wearing an invisibility cloak.

Professor McGonagall's angry shouts came from below the tower. Brian walked over there with gentle steps.

Professor McGonagall had a great harvest tonight. She caught the three Harrys and Malfoy who had just come down from the tower!

Brian covered his eyes. He didn't let Malfoy know what happened tonight, and he didn't know why he came out.

"I really didn't expect that there would be four students who didn't sleep and were wandering around in the middle of the night. How dare you!" Professor McGonagall's nose twitched with anger. She shouted, "Confinement! Five deducted from each person." very!"

All four people took a breath. Malfoy looked at her angrily, but in the end he said nothing and hung his head angrily.

"Professor... please..." Harry begged, "you can't..."

"You don't need to remind me what to do, Potter. Miss Granger, I thought you would be more clear-headed. And Mr. Weasley, I thought you valued Gryffindor's honor..."

Professor McGonagall lectured the four little guys loudly, making them huddle up like quails.

Filch also ran over after hearing the sound and was standing aside staring at them maliciously. Mrs. Norris squatted at his feet, her big yellow eyes looking sharply around.

Brian didn't go out, he watched quietly. He didn't want to go there and get scolded.

But Harry and the others didn't betray him, which was really lucky.

After Professor McGonagall finished scolding them, she waved them back angrily.

The four people walked back dejectedly, like eggplants beaten by frost. Even Malfoy had no intention of mocking them anymore.

Brian took a shortcut and returned to the dormitory before Malfoy came back.

He lay silently on the bed and observed three seconds of silence for them.

Malfoy pushed open the door to the dormitory with heavy steps, glanced at Brian lying on the bed, and suddenly became furious.

He came over and gave Brian a shove.

"What's wrong? You came back so late." Brian said.

"I went out to look for you, and you sneaked out in the middle of the night!" Malfoy said angrily, "Don't let me know that you were going to see Potter and the others."

"I went to practice my spells." Brian said softly, "You know, there are never enough hours during the day."

The right lie is good for friendship. He thought so.

"I was caught by Professor McGonagall! And Potter and the others." Malfoy was angry there. "They went out in the middle of the night. They must have dealt with the fire dragon."

"I was deducted 50 points and will be put in solitary confinement! I want my dad to file a complaint against that hateful woman."

"But Potter and the others deducted a total of 150 points from Gryffindor." Malfoy comforted himself, "Gryffindor's points must be empty tomorrow. I think if there are negative points, they will definitely History was made!”

The next day, in the hourglass that recorded scores, both Gryffindor and Slytherin's scores dropped by a bit.

Among them, Gryffindor's score dropped by almost half, making the Gryffindor students unable to believe their eyes.

Malfoy looked at the position of the hourglass and breathed a sigh of relief, because Slytherin's score did not fall from the first position because of him, but Gryffindor changed from second place to last place.

He then became proud and taunted Potter in the lobby, making it known to everyone that they were caught wandering around in the middle of the night.

This made Harry and the others the target of public criticism. Everyone looked down upon them, especially Harry and Ron. The Gryffindors were more tolerant of Hermione, because she had added many points to Gryffindor, definitely far more than fifty points.

It has to be said that Gryffindor's score was originally very close to that of Slytherin. Because of Brian's stimulation, Hermione was more active in answering questions and getting points, while Brian didn't like answering questions very much.

Although Slytherin also had points deducted, overall, it opened a wider gap with the second place, and Ravenclaw had much fewer points. Malfoy became a hero instead. He loudly talked in the lounge about how he found out about Potter and the others going out for a night out and caught them and handed them over to the professor.

"Instead of praising my contribution, Professor McGonagall deducted points from me. She is too biased." Malfoy raised his chin and said slowly.

In the morning, Ministry of Magic investigators raided Hagrid's cabin, but they found nothing. They searched around the school and in the Forbidden Forest all day, and finally left the school at dark.

Malfoy was very unhappy about this. He secretly hated himself for taking too long and not sending Hagrid to Azkaban on the spot.

Harry and the others watched all this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Harry also said resentfully: "I swear, I will never meddle in other people's business again."

He went from being the most popular person to being the target of public criticism overnight, and it was not a good day for him.

"Potter, this should be your invisibility cloak." Brian's unique soft voice sounded beside him, "I found it on the tower last night."

"Oh, thank you, Foley." Harry took it quickly, "It's very important to me."

"Indeed, it is a very precious item, you need to cherish it." Brian said meaningfully. "Thank you also for not turning me in last night."

"It doesn't matter." At this point, Harry's mood became depressed, "You helped us and helped Hagrid."

"No matter what, thank you." Brian narrowed his eyes and smiled, then walked away.

That same day he sent a letter home asking Mr. Foley if he had any invisibility cloaks in his collection.

The next day, Becca delivered a letter from Mr. Foley and a small package.

Brian first read Mr. Foley's letter.

Mr. Foley said that he did not collect such useless things as invisibility cloaks. He could completely become invisible with the Disguise Charm. But his friend did have a few, so he bought one.

He told Brian that the magic power of the invisibility cloak would gradually disappear. It would take about three or four months to find a professional alchemist to replenish the magic power, otherwise it would lose its effect.

He also told Brian not to sneak into the Forbidden Forest wearing an invisibility cloak. It was too dangerous. Many animals there had excellent senses of smell and could see through the invisibility cloak.

"Of course, if you want to wear it and sneak into the restricted book area, I fully agree." Mr. Foley said, "The restricted book area of ​​Hogwarts contains too many ancient books that our family does not have. You Maybe you can find treasure in there.”

Brian looked at the letter and was silent for a long time before putting it aside.

Then he opened the small package and took out the dusty invisibility cloak. Compared to Harry's one, this one is indeed too inconspicuous, it can only accommodate one person, and the material is not very good.

"It is indeed the Deathly Hallows." Brian sighed. But this invisibility cloak is completely enough for him.

He put the invisibility cloak on his body to test the effect. Brian was very satisfied and couldn't help but sigh: "Why didn't I think of asking Mr. Foley for an invisibility cloak before?"

"Almost hung on the rope of the Disguise Curse."

It wasn't until Sunday that Ron received a letter from his brother Charlie, saying that he had brought the dragon back to Romania.

"Great, the fire dragon is not dead." Harry breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to make Hagrid sad.

"But it's not much better." Hermione added, looking at the letter.

In the letter, Charlie expressed his deep condemnation and dissatisfaction with Riley, because when he received Norbert, the fire dragon had lost a lot of weight, had a lot of blood drawn, and even its scales were a little bald.

Of course, there are still no big problems with the body of the fire dragon. Their recovery ability is very strong and they can recover quickly. But Norbert still had a great psychological shadow on people, and was especially afraid of wizards in robes and the wands in their hands.

"At least it feels right, doesn't it?" Ron comforted, "It's right to be afraid of wizards. Staying away from wizards can indeed help it live longer."

"I wouldn't worry about it," said Harry crossly. He's been having a really hard time lately.

"Don't let Hagrid know," he added.
