Chapter 281 Dumbledore is surprised! Keep on getting the benefits!

Two people and one bird came to the Screaming Shack.

Harry, who had been tense for a long time, finally couldn't stand the fatigue of his body and fell asleep in a corner.

"Fawkes, don't rush back tonight!"

"I'll need your help tomorrow morning!"

Argus didn't feel very tired at first, but when he saw Harry fall asleep, he was also a little sleepy.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had to go back to the bathroom on the first floor tomorrow morning, so he didn't let Fawkes go.

Fawkes has been with Dumbledore for many years and has long understood human nature.

He knew that Argus had something important to do. Although he didn't know where he got his tail feathers, he also understood that Dumbledore would not hand over his tail feathers if it wasn't a major event.

After a night, Argus's biological clock woke him up from his sleep.

He looked at the time converter and found that he had less than three hours to return to the original timeline.

"There is still plenty of time. What we have to do now is to wait."

After a night's rest, Argus's spirit has improved a lot.

He looked up at Fawkes who was still energetic next to him.

Pat its head.

"You won't be keeping watch for us all the time, will you?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Fox!"

Fox cried, as if he was not used to being stroked on the head, and flapped his wings to fly high.

The voices of the two woke up Harry who was sleeping.

"Argus... why did you wake up so early?"

"Are we going back to Hogwarts?"

"It will take a while." Argus replied.

"I need to go back first, and I will pick you up after I finish my business."

"Remember Harry, according to the timeline, you are now in a state of loss in the eyes of others."

"You can only show up after completing the timeline, understand?"

Argus was afraid that Harry would rush out in a fit of anger.

By then, not only Harry would be in trouble, but he would also be implicated.

Harry didn't quite understand, and nodded in confusion.

"Lend me the invisibility cloak first."

"Fox, you keep an eye on him here, and don't let him leave the Room of Requirement."

Argus thought about it and decided that it would be safer to let Fox watch him.

He took Harry's invisibility cloak and headed towards the Hogwarts Castle.

...

As soon as he entered the castle, Argus heard a series of discussions around him.

The content was nothing more than the news that Harry stole Percy's time-turner and caused his disappearance.

Originally in Hogwarts, the time-turner was semi-confidential, and only the professors and deans, as well as the students who used the time-turner in class knew about it.

Ordinary little wizards could not get in touch with these.

But Percy was really scared by this incident. The time-turner was no different from other things. If something went wrong, it would cause a death.

Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't.

In addition to Harry's disappearance, many people linked the two things together.

Argus didn't care about these, wearing the invisibility cloak and paying a little attention to his whereabouts.

Even the professor couldn't find him.

"Such a good thing, it's a waste in Harry's hands!"

For the first time, Argus experienced the difference between the invisibility cloak, one of the Deathly Hallows, and the ordinary invisibility cloak made of invisible animal skin.

The ordinary invisibility cloak is not much different from the Disillusionment Charm. If you observe carefully, you can see some subtle and vague fluctuations.

But Harry's is completely different!

Unless you touch it at close range, or hear its breathing or heartbeat.

Otherwise, even if he is in front of you, you can't detect it.

It's not that Argus has never thought about replacing Harry's invisibility cloak, but think of Harry often wearing the invisibility cloak in front of Dumbledore.

Harry can't see the difference, but Dumbledore can definitely.

There will be many opportunities to get the invisibility cloak from Harry in the future, so there is no need to ruin the image he has carefully created for such a small profit.

Argus is not interested in watching how everyone searches for Harry and the time converter. After seeing that the original timeline self has stood up and gone to the Room of Requirement, he went to the women's bathroom on the first floor to wait.

Since the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was found here last time, this place has been prohibited from entering.

Only the ghost of Moaning Myrtle is wandering back and forth.

"Wow wow wow... No one, I'm dying here alone and no one will know..."

"I'm so pitiful, no one was with me when I was alive, and no one will be with me when I become a ghost..."

As she said this, Myrtle jumped up and got into the toilet in the toilet cubicle.

She almost bumped into Argus who had just come in.

"Myrtle is also a pitiful person... Just because she cried in the toilet, she was targeted by the basilisk."

"At such a good age, she can only be a ghost in Hogwarts."

After sighing twice, Argus ignored her.

Concentrate on waiting for the time converter.

Hearing the footsteps of the original timeline, he looked at the time converter again.

After confirming that it was almost time, he walked out of the women's bathroom, took off the invisibility cloak and returned to his original timeline.

Seeing his own phantom slowly dissipate, Argus knew that this mission had been successfully completed.

Wearing the invisibility cloak, he returned to the Shrieking Shack.

Let Fawkes take him and Harry to the principal's office.

A flash of fire flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, he met Dumbledore's surprised eyes.

Especially when he saw Harry next to Argus, he stood up excitedly.

Argus patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Principal, I have done my duty."

Harry lowered his head, not daring to look at Dumbledore.

Although Dumbledore remained calm on the surface, his slightly trembling palms still exposed his inner emotions.

For Argus, three days had passed.

But for Dumbledore, it took only half an hour from hell to heaven.

He had already made the worst plan.

If Argus really got trapped with Harry, he would definitely gather the entire Wizengamot and the famous wizards in the entire wizarding world to come up with a rescue plan.

Even... willing to go to Nurmengard!

Unexpectedly, Argus actually rescued the person!

This made him feel surprised and scared.

Regret for his previous irrational behavior.

"This time... you really worked hard, Argus."

"If it weren't... I'm afraid... hey..."

Dumbledore took the initiative to step forward and patted Argus on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Fortunately, Fox helped a lot this time."

Argus looked at Fox who returned to his nest, and his eyes showed some envy.

There are not many such loyal and special magical animals in the entire magic world.

How is it related to the Dumbledore family?

It's hard to get two of them.

Dumbledore looked at Fawkes behind him and stretched out his hand to call him over.

"I was wondering why it suddenly disappeared last night."

"So it was you who called it away."

"Did you use the feather I gave you?"

"Yes, not only the feather, but also the tears." Argus smiled helplessly.

Prepare to take the opportunity to make another profit from Dumbledore.
