Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

82. Chapter 82 The Beginning of Fear

    Driven by several things in succession, at the beginning of the new semester, Hogwarts fell into a strange, oppressive atmosphere.

    Ivan has a feeling that several people around him are gradually rushing.

    The first was Neville, who was completely scared by Snape.

    In the third class of the third-grade Potions, he was banned by Snape for two months of confinement on the grounds that he did not peel the figs and threw them into the cauldron. But in fact everyone knows what is going on, Snape is revenge. From there, when Neville saw Snape, he couldn't help but look pale and cold.

    Followed by Hagrid, he seems to have lost confidence.

    Now on the Care of Magical Creatures, students learn how to take care of the Flobberworm: a 10-inch-long, dark-skinned, dark-brown, squirming, disgusting worm. The existence of this creature is almost completely meaningless. Apart from eating, they are always alone and do nothing.

    Once again, Harry, he is now more and more afraid of Divination.

    Professor Trelawny always looked at him with tearful eyes. Unexpected prophecy was spread throughout the school. No matter who, no matter what time, as long as he spoke to Harry, their voice became light, like him. The corpse has been stopped in bed.

    In addition, he was worried about his own trip to Hogsmeade, and Professor McGonagall rejected his application. This means that he is likely to be the only third grade student to stay in Hogsmeade.

    More worried than Harry, Colin and Ginny.

    They are fully convinced of Professor Trelawny's death predictions, and in their eyes, Ivan and Harry may fall down at any time. Therefore, the two collected a lot of things that were said to be able to ward off evil and break the curse, and most of them were popular items in the castle during the basilisk raging period last semester.

    As for Hermione, she is also more and more nervous.

    This is mainly because she chose too many classes, and her body and spirit have been overloaded for a long time, which has reached her limit. Ivan saw that she had more than ten magic books in her bag every day, and he wondered if Hermione would faint in this way.

    Finally, Ron, he has always been suspicious.

    After Crookshanks tried several times to attack Scabbers, he was always guarding the cat. He showed Scabbers to everyone, it is now skinny and skinny.

    In Ivan's opinion, Scabbers has become like this, and has nothing to do with Crookshanks.

    Peter Pettigrew knows for sure that the real reason for Black's jailbreak is to find his own revenge. After all, he sold out Mr. and Mrs. Potter. He was scared, and as Black moved closer to Hogwarts, panic gradually occupied his brain.

    He wants to run away, but he doesn't know where to go.

    The Hogwarts Castle is currently the safest place, and there are so many horrible dementors outside the guards. It stands to reason that Black has no reason to break in, but since the other party can escape from Azkaban, then entering Hogwarts seems to be only a matter of time.

    The mental torment made Peter Pettigrew incredibly embarrassing.

    In fact, not just a few of them, Ivan was too busy during this time.

    In addition to preparing newspaper articles, he focused his energy on the refining potion, which he specially prepared for Peter Pettigrew. A tracking agent he found on "Most Potente Potions", as long as Peter takes this potion, within a certain range, he can sense its position with special magic.

    In this way, you don't have to worry about him becoming a mouse to escape.

    Ivan's plan is to mix this tracking agent in the mouse tonic, and I believe Ron will let Scabbers drink it. The only problem now is that the refining step is too time consuming, and although he has already made enough preparations, the pharmacy can only be completed on Halloween.

    On Halloween, Harry pitifully sent Ron and Hermione to Hogsmeade.

    Ivan refused Colin's advice to play chess. He went to the eighth floor of the castle alone. After seeing no one paying attention to himself, he quickly walked back and forth three times in front of a wall and entered the Room of Requirement.

    The room he requested was similar to the Snape office. The central long table was filled with glassware of various shapes, two pewter cauldrons and a heating device, and the cabinets on both sides were filled with medicinal materials.

    These things were bought by Ivan from Diagon Alley. Since last year, he has been here to refining the pharmacy he needs, reviewing the Potions content in advance, and so on.

    Long practice has made Ivan's technique very skilled.

    He placed the prepared materials in the cauldron in turn according to the recipe on "Most Potente Potions".

    After about five hours, he finally finished the tracking drug. He mixed it with his own mouse-made tonic, and the drug was dark red, exactly the same as the mouse tonic in the magical creature store. Ivan was satisfied with loading the pharmacy into the bottle. When he came out of the Room of Requirement, he found that the Halloween party had begun and he rushed into the auditorium.

    Hundreds of pumpkin lanterns hung in the auditorium, as well as a group of fluttering bats and many orange ribbons that spewed flames, floating lazily under the ceiling, like a splendid water snake.

    The food at the banquet was very beautiful and everyone looked very happy.

    Since the beginning of school, the tension has been swept away. Harry seems to have forgotten the damn prophecy. Hermione finally did not want to learn. After Ivan gave the "subsistence tonic" to Ron, the other's mood gradually improved. Scabbers is worried about things.

    Everything went well, and even Hagrid, which has not been seen recently, sat happily in the classroom.

    The dinner ended with the entertainment program provided by ghost. The ghosts suddenly appeared on the wall and on the table to make a line-up. The Gryffindor's ghost almost nohead Nick successfully recreated his decapitation. .

    Everyone felt that they had had a good night, but less than ten minutes after the dinner ended, everything reversed.

    A little bit of happiness accumulated at the Halloween party disappeared, and the atmosphere of panic re-emerged in the castle.

    When the whole thing happened, Ivan, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Colin, and Ginny were slowly returning to the Gryffindor Tower along the usual route. They almost had two copies of each meal at the dinner party. The stomach is swollen.

    When they walked to the portrait of the Fat Lady, they found the hall full of people.

    "What happened, why didn't everyone go in?"Colin asked curiously.

    "Maybe they forgot their passwords!"Ron said with a smile.

    How could this be, it is impossible for so many people to forget the password, Ivan saw Peeves jumping on the top of the crowd, very happy, and suddenly there was a bad feeling in his heart, Peeves only saw the scene of destruction and sorrow, Will this expression be revealed, it will not be...

    Before they got into the crowd, Professor Dumbledore got the news and hurried to him. He hurried to the portrait of the Fat Lady. The students at Gryffindor College were crowded together to let him go. Ivan, some of them leaned a little tighter, want to see Know where the trouble is.

    "Oh my God!"Hermione suddenly screamed and grabbed Ivan's arm.

    In front of them, the portrait of the Fat Lady was vandalized, portraits, canvas pieces were everywhere on the floor, and large canvases were completely removed from the frame.

    "Professor McGonagall, go to Filch right away and tell him to look for the Fat Lady on every painting in the castle."Dumbledore said quickly.

    "You will be lucky!"Peeves grinned.

    "What do you mean, Peeves?"Dumbledore asked calmly.

    "Sorry, Mr. headmaster!"Peeves's smile faded a bit. He didn't dare to laugh at Dumbledore. He turned to a slick tone. "She didn't want to be seen, she was messed up." I saw her running through the landscape on the fifth floor, sir, hiding in the middle of the trees, crying and saying something terrible. ”

    "Poor thing."Peeves added one sentence, but there was no pity for others.

    "She said who did it?"Dumbledore asked quietly.

    "Oh, let's talk, the professor's head!"Peeves looks like a big bomb in his arms. "She won't let him in, he is very angry, you understand." His temper is really bad, this Sirius Black! ”
