Chapter 139

Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Filch walked up and down this corridor three or four times, scaring the two of them into corners, not daring to breathe.
Filch was finally heard swearing and walking upstairs.
The two dared to relax after Filch left for a while.
Harry looked at the big lock in front of him, very unwilling.
In this way, the two were helplessly ready to go back.
Ron sighed: "I knew it wasn't that simple, and the professor's level won't be so easy every time, especially Professor Holmes has so many ideas.
Let's go back and let Hermione make plans for you again... yes, make plans for you! "
Harry felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and asked quickly:
"You said Professor Holmes just now?"
Ron looked at Harry with a strange look, and said impatiently:
"Of course it's him, hasn't he always led this matter..."
Harry immediately swept away the previous decadence, and said excitedly:
"Ron, I suddenly thought of how to open this big lock. I heard Wood tell us about his first Defense Against the Dark Arts practical class... We need a big ax now, yes A big ax..."
Ron looked at the muttering Harry. He really didn't know Wood's story, but he still reminded:
"Harry, don't forget that we are wizards, remember the Crushing Curse?"
Harry shook his head: "Magic is useless. According to Wood, Professor Holmes likes to use Muggle thinking in the wizarding world..."
Ron rubbed his nose and asked a question:
"Then where can I find an axe, let alone using Transfiguration, I guess only Hermione can conjure such a big ax..."
Harry pointed to a pair of armor next to the torch in front, and said triumphantly:
"Isn't there a big ax in there?"
So the two walked over quietly, carefully took the ax out of the armor shelf with the floating spell, and brought it to the top of the big lock.
Harry licked his lips and said:
"Ron, the sound will definitely be loud later, I need to rush in quickly, you are waiting for the professor outside..."
Ron nodded, and they both revoked the Levitation Charm at the same time.
The big ax fell directly from mid-air and hit the lock, the lock broke as expected, and when the big ax landed, it made a loud noise.
Without thinking, Harry charged forward with the cloak on.
"boom!"
Harry slammed right into the door, but it didn't budge.
Because he was wearing an invisibility cloak, Ron couldn't see him, so he asked quickly:
"Harry, what's the matter, are you still here?"
......
Just as the two smashed the lock, a lock that looked like an ornament suddenly broke in two on the shelf in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Everyone who was seriously grading papers was startled by this voice.
Douglas frowned slightly when he saw that the lock was broken, and then said to the class representatives:
"You are busy with your work."
After speaking, he took out the Marauder's Map from under the desk.
The others didn't recognize this thing, but the Weasley twins were all too familiar with it.
Douglas turned his back on everyone and opened the Marauder's Map.
Sure enough, at the door of Myrtle's bathroom, I found the names of Ron and Harry, and there was Filch not far away, and Peeves' name quickly moved there.
Douglas turned and glanced at Hermione who was grading the test paper word by word.
Then, he quickly opened the classroom door and went out.
As soon as Douglas left, George and Fred quickly picked up the broken lock and began to study.
"Just an ordinary lock..."
"No, there are traces of magic on it, but I don't recognize it."
The other students looked at the two bold actions in amazement and quickly stopped them.
......
When Douglas came near Myrtle's bathroom, he heard Ron say loudly to Filch from afar:
"I won't go with you until the professor comes."
Peeves on the side fanned the flames and said:
"Hahaha, the Gryffindor brat did a great job... Mr. Filch, I won't go with you until the head professor comes... Quack... ...unless the devil tells me..."
Douglas's cold voice came over: "Unless what?"
When Peeves heard Douglas's voice, he shuddered immediately, and without saying a word of cruelty, he went straight through the ceiling, fearing that he would be caught a second later.
From Peeves' point of view, as long as he endures this guy for a few more days, he will leave school, and it's better to disappear without anyone noticing like Rocky did last year...
Filch saw Douglas coming, as if he had a backbone, he quickly complained and said:
"Professor Holmes, this brat wanders at night, casts spells in the corridors, and wants to break into restricted areas and damage public property..."
Douglas ignored Ron who was about to say something, but said to Filch:
"Mr. Hard work, leave the rest to me, I will deal with them..."
"them?"
Filch thought he heard it wrong, muttered something in a low voice, complained to Douglas a few words, and left.
After Filch left, Douglas didn't speak, but just looked at Ron.
Ron saw Douglas's cold face, sweating from tension, under the invisibility cloak, and Harry, who was hiding by the door, felt so stuffy under the invisibility cloak for the first time.
Ron looked around and found that only Professor Douglas was coming, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Teach...Professor, I said that I have a stomachache and I want to find a nearby toilet, do you believe me?"
Harry was very anxious when he heard Ron say this, and wanted to remind him to speak according to the plan, but he didn't dare to speak.
Douglas raised his eyebrows and said mockingly:
"Then Mr. Filch gave you an additional crime, trespassing on the women's restroom."
Ron was stunned and didn't know what to say for a while, his eyes drifted to Harry's direction, but unfortunately, no matter how Harry gave him winks, Ron couldn't see it.
Douglas noticed Ron's expression and made sure that Harry was next to the gate, so he looked directly over and said:
"Harry, won't you come out and explain?"
Harry was pale, thinking that Douglas, like Dumbledore, could see through his cloak.
Ron suddenly reacted at this time, and quickly pointed to the lock on the ground and said:
"Professor, Harry went to the Chamber of Secrets to find the basilisk. I... I found out it was too late, and I was planning to find the professor. Let's quickly call other professors to rescue him together."
Douglas sneered and walked towards the door.
Ron said anxiously aside:
"Professor, don't go in alone, let's ask other professors to come together."
Douglas walked to the gate and said indifferently:
"If Harry did go in, the other professors should too.
Moreover, you probably haven't figured out how to open this door yet. "
Ron nodded subconsciously, then shook his head quickly when he realized something was wrong.
Douglas grabbed the edge of the door and gently pulled it out. It looked like a double door, but it was opened by a single door.
Ron stammered and said:
"Teach...Professor, that...that...that door crack and door lock are fake?"
Ron and Harry really didn't think about why a simple toilet door would be so brain-inducing.
It doesn't look like a wizard method at all.
Douglas said again:
"Mr. Potter, the invisibility cloak is not a panacea!"
Harry knew that he couldn't hide it, and then he got out from under the cloak, his face was pale, and he stood with Ron tremblingly.
Douglas saw the gleaming silver fabric on Harry's hand, it was indeed one of the Deathly Hallows, it just looked different from ordinary invisibility cloaks.
But Harry had no intention of turning in the Invisibility Cloak.
Douglas had no choice but to stretch out his hand and say:
"Give the invisibility cloak to me first, and I'll return it to you during the holidays!"
Harry hesitated for a moment, and felt that it was better for him to be honest at this time, and Professor Holmes didn't seem like the person who wanted to take his treasure for himself.
After all, the other party can see through the invisibility cloak at a glance, which means that he doesn't need the invisibility cloak at all, just like Dumbledore.
Douglas took the invisibility cloak, and it felt different from ordinary invisibility cloaks. It felt weird in his hand, as if it was woven with water.
Douglas seemed satisfied with Harry's performance, and said:
"You come with me!"
Harry cast a wistful glance at the bathroom door, then followed Douglas with Ron.
Ron was extremely depressed, what did he do tonight.
Not only was there no extra points, but both of them were found.
Along the way, Douglas didn't ask them anything.
This made the two even more uneasy.
Until the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Douglas said:
"You two stand at the door and reflect on it!"
After speaking, he stuffed the invisibility cloak into the special pocket, and then walked into the office.
The office, which was still full of discussions just now, suddenly became quiet.
When Draco Malfoy saw Douglas coming in, he looked happy, stood up quickly and said:
"Professor, after you left just now, the Weasley twins were messing with your things."
Douglas glanced at him lightly, then looked at George and Fred:
"Did you find anything?"
George immediately said:
"It's a lock that has been cast with a transformation spell."
Fred added:
"According to the situation at the time, it should be related to something. When that thing responds, the lock will also respond..."
Douglas nodded and said:
"It seems that you have really improved, so Gryffindor will deduct two points, and Slytherin will add one point."
Draco threw his neck back, raised his eyebrows proudly at the other Slytherin class representatives, and sat down proudly, not paying any attention to the strange eyes of George and Fred.
Filch was finally heard swearing and walking upstairs.
The two dared to relax after Filch left for a while.
Harry looked at the big lock in front of him, very unwilling.
In this way, the two were helplessly ready to go back.
Ron sighed: "I knew it wasn't that simple, and the professor's level won't be so easy every time, especially Professor Holmes has so many ideas.
