Chapter 071
The game had just ended, and before Ives could join the players, Fox suddenly appeared on the court, grabbed him and disappeared.
Hermione’s forward pace had to stop. She wanted to run to the court to congratulate Elvis for winning the game.
On the other side, Ives was brought to the restricted area on the fourth floor by Fox.
Lu Wei, who was supposed to be guarding the trap door, was unconscious in the corner. The trap door was wide open and two voices came from below.
“Help, help!”
“Harry, I’m about to be strangled!”
Listening carefully, Ives could distinguish the voices of Harry and Ron, and he hurriedly walked to the trap door.
There was darkness in front of him, and the painful voices of the two people echoed below. Ives didn’t care so much and jumped directly Go down.
There is a soft thing under him. Ives knew it was a devil’s net. Before they could wrap around his body, a small ball of flame ignited on his fingertips. The devil’s net slowly loosened, and Ives Put it on the ground.
Then, he used the fire spell to rescue Harry and Ron again.
Harry stood up with difficulty, he almost thought he was going to die. Harry and Ron patted the dust on their bodies and said gratefully:” Thank you, Ives”
“Why are you two here?”Ives asked in confusion.
As they told the story, Ives finally understood the cause and effect.
……
Before the Quidditch match started, Harry and Ron wanted to go to the stadium to watch the game, but were stopped by Quirrell who turned into a ghost on the way.
“Do you like……”Quirrell got stuck mid-sentence, and then his eyes became lively and he said anxiously:”I, I just saw Snape walking into the restricted area on the fourth floor. Go and stop him!
” After stammering this sentence, he left.
Quirrell’s words made Harry freeze on the spot. Originally, he had no longer thought about what was in the restricted area.
Being reminded like this, Harry suddenly remembered something, and he murmured:”I remember Ives said that Hagrid’s dragon egg was won from a mysterious person, why would he give it to Hagrid?”
“It was impossible for anyone to give something to someone else for no reason. What did he want from Hagrid?” Harry turned anxiously
“Three-headed dog?” Ron said
“right! Harry’s eyes lit up,”It’s the three-headed dog.””
He hurried to Hagrid’s hut with Ron.
In the hut, Hagrid’s beard was half burned by something, but he was not sad, but happily took the scissors to trim it.
“Hagrid!”
The voices of the two people came from outside the door. Hagrid put down the scissors and opened the door.
He saw Harry and Ron and invited them in with doubts.”I remember there is a Quidditch match today, you two little ones.” Why don’t you guys go to the game? Seeing Hagrid’s appearance, Ron asked strangely:”Hagrid, what’s wrong with your beard?” Hagrid said with a smile:”Norberta has grown up. I built a nest for it in the Forbidden Forest. Before I left, I accidentally set my beard on fire by the flames it spit out. I think it must be reluctant to leave me.””
“So you resisted the fire dragon’s breath?”Ron stood still and said in shock.
“It’s just playing with me,” Hagrid said, squinting his eyes and rubbing his belly.
“Hagrid,” Harry interrupted the conversation between the two and asked anxiously,”Do you remember how you got the dragon egg?”
“Of course,” Hagrid didn’t know what they wanted to ask, so he told the situation in detail. Then, he suddenly became wary,”You two don’t want to know how to deal with Lu Wei from me. method, right?”
“also?” Ron asked keenly
“Have you told anyone else
?”Harry asked
“Yes,” Hagrid said awkwardly,”I accidentally told the mysterious person who gave me the dragon egg, as well as Ivis and Hermione.”
“Elvis and Hermione, they actually knew this already?”Harry was stunned. He didn’t expect the two of them to know so many things.
Harry pulled Ron and turned to leave,”Let’s go, let’s go find Ivis and Hermione.”
After a full circle, they returned to the Quidditch pitch.
Unfortunately, Ivis was already in the dressing room preparing for the game, so Harry and Ron had to go to the Ravenclaw Stand to look for Hermione.
They found Hermione was sitting in the first row of the stands, holding a sky-blue banner with Lisa, Padma and Mandy to cheer for the Ravenclaw team.
At the strong request of Harry and Ron, Hermione followed them to the seats in the stands and chatted for a while.
“”Hermione,” Harry said seriously,”Professor Quirrell told me that Snape has gone to the restricted area on the fourth floor and is preparing to steal the items inside.”
“What does that have to do with us little wizards?”Hermione said in confusion,”Avis and I have advised you before that this is not something we should care about. Can we defeat Snape, or can we defeat Fluffy the three-headed dog?”
“But I don’t think we should sit still and wait for death,” Harry insisted.
The three of them argued for a long time, and finally Harry and Ron learned from Hermione how to deal with Lu Wei, but Hermione did not join their action, but chose Stay in the stands and cheer for Ives.
“Let’s go,” Harry said
“Where to go? asked Ron
“Go to Professor Dumbledore. Hermione is right, we really don’t have the ability to deal with Snape.”
The two hurriedly ran to the eighth floor of the castle, but bumped into Professor McGonagall who had just come out of the principal’s office.
“Professor McGonagall!
Professor McGonagall stopped and looked at them,”What are you two doing?””
She was very confused, why didn’t the two of them go to the stadium to watch the game?
“We want to see Professor Dumbledore. Harry hesitated for a while and said, Ron thought his performance was very brave.
“Want to meet Professor Dumbledore?”Professor McGonagall repeated, as if it was very suspicious for them to have such an idea,”Why?”
Harry swallowed and told everything he knew.
“Professor Dumbledore has gone to London and will not be back until tomorrow,” Professor McGonagall said seriously.”As for Snape trying to steal things from the restricted area on the fourth floor… that is absolutely impossible. I suggest you go to the game instead of thinking about random things all day long. Besides, Quirrell is a dark wizard, and what he says has no credibility.”
The two were scolded and had to leave in despair. Ron whispered:”Qi Luo is actually a dark wizard?”
“Can……”
In fact, in their eyes, Snape was more like a dark wizard.
Harry gritted his teeth,”I just noticed when we were at the stadium that Snape wasn’t here and Professor Dumbledore wasn’t in school either.”
“If he really wanted to steal what was being guarded in the penalty area, this was definitely a good time.”Harry made up his mind. Regardless of whether what Quirrell said was right or not, why don’t he and Ron go to the fourth floor to see if anyone had broken in?
When they arrived at the restricted area, they found Lu Wei sleeping on the side. , the trap door was opened.
So, under the leadership of Harry, the two jumped out one after another.
After that, they were entangled in the devil’s net and almost suffocated to death. Avis arrived in time to save them.
