Hermione and Ron were sitting in the common room, discussing in low voices.
“The Marauder’s Map is really missing?” Hermione asked.
“Anyway, I didn’t find it. I searched all over the dormitory.” Ron’s expression was a little tangled.
“If it was stolen by someone…” Hermione frowned and kept talking about various terrifying possibilities.
Ron’s heart trembled when he heard this, and he whispered: “Maybe it’s not as bad as you think, maybe it just happened in that classroom…”
“We have to consider the worst case scenario, Ron.” Hermione raised her eyebrows and said, “In this battle, any negligence may cost us our lives!”
“Okay, I know…” Ron said quickly when he saw Hermione was chattering again.
At this time, chaos began in the common room, and the Head Boy hurriedly called out to the prefects of each grade. Hermione and Ron looked at each other, picked up the prefect badges and pinned them on their chests and gathered together.
“Ask all students to go back to the common room. No one can go out tonight.” The student council president said urgently, “All prefects are responsible for looking after the students, and the dean will also come to protect everyone…”
“What happened?” Hermione asked.
“The dean told me that Harry Potter was captured by Professor Snape…” the male student body president lowered his voice.
Hermione and Ron’s faces turned pale.
“He is your friend, right? I feel very sorry for this, but I still hope you can wait patiently here and don’t cause trouble. The professors will find him.” The student union president said, “Also, don’t do this. Tell others to avoid confusion.”
“I know.” Hermione said uneasily. She and Ron hurried back to manage the chaotic students, but both of them were distracted, worry and uneasiness filling their hearts.
After the students were all seated and the number of students was counted, the two people sat back on the armchairs. Amidst the buzz of discussion in the lounge, they looked at each other worriedly.
“Are we just waiting here for the results of the professors’ search?” Ron spoke first.
“We have no other way…” Hermione shook her head, her eyes a little red.
Ron turned the deluminator on and off in frustration, causing the lights around him to flicker on and off.
“Do you think the loss of Harry’s Marauder’s Map has something to do with what happened tonight?” Ron asked again.
“I think that’s the case, otherwise it wouldn’t be such a coincidence…” Hermione replied absently.
“Hey, did you see that light?” When Ron pressed the Deluminator again, he suddenly looked blankly at something in front of him and pointed there.
“What? There’s nothing there.” Hermione said.
“No, there is a ball of light there.” Ron pointed there and said, “It’s blue and pulsating like a heart…”
“Ron, you…” Hermione’s expression changed, “It’s not a good thing to see things that others can’t see!”
“No, I think it has something to do with this Deluminator.” Ron said to himself as he approached, then his eyes followed something invisible and wandered back and forth, and finally looked down at his chest.
“Hermione, I know what to do,” Ron said. “It will take me where I have to go!”
“Ron, calm down!” Hermione became stern.
“No, Hermione, it’s the Deluminator that’s guiding me!” Ron grabbed Hermione’s hand excitedly. “That ball of light floated into my chest and guided me to a certain place. That must be It’s where Harry is, there’s no mistake!”
“Are you sure that’s not an illusion?” Hermione asked cautiously.
“Absolutely not! This is what Dumbledore gave us, isn’t it? He won’t harm us, he is guiding us to save Harry!” Ron said excitedly, “Only we can save him, that’s for sure !”
Hermione lowered her head, wringing her hands uneasily, as if she was caught in a battle between heaven and man. Soon, she suddenly raised her head and said decisively: “Okay, let’s go rescue Harry.”
She said, running to pick up the school bag that Harry had left in the armchair, and pulled out the shining silver invisibility cloak from it.
The lounge was still noisy, students were walking back and forth between the armchairs, and many people gathered together to discuss the news tonight.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other, and when no one was paying attention to them, they secretly put on the invisibility cloak and approached the exit.
Ron pulled out an odd-shaped object with many wiggling little legs. He whispered to Hermione: “The decoy bomb Fred and George gave me is quite useful…”
As he spoke, he placed the decoy bomb on the ground. It immediately started moving quickly, making a harsh squeaking sound, and rushed into the crowd like a big smoking rat, causing a scream and attracting everyone’s attention.
The two people took the opportunity to spin away the portrait of the Fat Lady blocking the door, and carefully slipped out. The Fat Lady looked around suspiciously, but did not see the two people wearing invisibility cloaks, so she turned back and blocked the exit.
“I hope I can meet the professor on the way. If not, we can’t waste time and can only go directly to the place guided by the deluminator.” Hermione said in a low voice. The professors were all searching the huge castle, and she realized the trouble of not having the Marauder’s Map.
The two people carefully avoided the statues patrolling around and ran towards the bottom of the stairs.
…
Brian walked invisible in the long corridor, and the armor and statues around him heard the sound of running footsteps.
He looked at the castle model in his hand, and after confirming the situation inside and outside the castle, he glanced at the Slytherin common room and saw Daphne and the others staying quietly inside, and then he looked away.
Then he looked towards the Gryffindor common room and saw Hermione and Ron preparing to put on the Invisibility Cloak and leave. He thoughtfully put away the model and walked towards Gryffindor Tower.
It’s a good thing not to have to figure out how to get two people out.
On the way downstairs, Brian recited a revealing spell and waited silently.
With the sound of deliberately soft footsteps, under the influence of the Appearance Spell, the two figures hidden in the invisibility cloak were revealed in Brian’s eyes.
“You are here.” Brian said aloud.
The two people jumped back in panic like cats whose tails were stepped on, with four ankles exposed underneath.
“Brian? Is that you?” Hermione whispered quietly.
“Are you going to rescue Harry?” Brian looked at the two people who were in a panic and said calmly.
Without waiting for their answer, Brian raised his left hand and held the tip of the Sorting Hat between his fingers: “Take it.”
“Sorting Hat?” Hermione said in surprise.
“I think you need them,” Brian said.
“you can……”
“Sorry, I can’t go there,” Brian said.
“Okay, do you think we can find Harry?” Hermione pulled the Sorting Hat into the invisibility cloak.
“That Deluminator will show you the way.” Brian glanced at the lighter-like Deluminator in Ron’s hand.
“How do you know?” Ron was startled. He had a feeling that Brian had been following and monitoring them.
Brian showed a half-smiling expression and didn’t reply.
He took a step to the side, clearing the path downwards, and said, “Kill that snake as much as you can.”
“By the way, maybe you know, Harry has a map that shows the location of everyone in Hogwarts… but it was lost today.” Hermione said suddenly.
Brian raised his eyebrows, thought for a while and then said, “Do you know Occlumency?”
Hermione and Ron looked at each other and shook their heads.
Brian thought for a while, recited an anti-tracking spell for the two of them, and then dug out two small, delicate earring-like signs from his bag. These were originally the birthday gifts he planned to give to Daphne.
“That map is nothing more than a combination of tracking spells and Legilimency…the anti-tracking spell can last for an hour, and these two pendants fix the Occlumency Technique, which is not clever enough, but it is enough to deal with that map.” He said Then he handed the pendant to them.
Hermione and Ron thanked each other, and without wasting any more time, they pulled off the invisibility cloak and hurried down.
Brian watched their figures disappear with ghostly eyes, narrowing his eyes slightly.
He didn’t know if Voldemort knew that his Horcruxes had been destroyed one by one, but there was no doubt that the snake would be under the strictest protection and would be inseparable from him.
And tonight, the Harry trio hope to pass through the tight protection, sneak into Voldemort’s back, and kill the snake while Voldemort turns his attention elsewhere.
Even if they failed, it didn’t matter. It wouldn’t matter if they knocked Voldemort back to the black mist state without a body. Anyway, with Brian’s power at that time, he wasn’t afraid of Voldemort causing trouble. By the time Brian’s research on the Death Rune yields results, he will almost have a way to restrain the disembodied Voldemort.
In short, Brian was determined to play it safe tonight and never take risks personally. As Grindelwald said, Brian now shoulders the expectations of many people and should not be arrogant and put himself in danger.
Brian was thinking about something and turned his gaze to the Forbidden Forest outside the window.
