Reborn at Hogwarts - Chapter 128

c126 stolen invisibility cloak

“Would you like to see it?”

Harry said quietly.

Hermione and Ron looked at each other, Ron nodded, and Hermione looked hesitant.

Five minutes had passed since the young man entered the principal’s office.

The three of them also stayed in the corridor for five minutes.

During this period, the three of them considered whether to follow up to have a look, but Hermione did not agree with this approach.

She thought that what the three of them should do most was to go home immediately, go back to the Gryffindor common room, and get a good night’s sleep like other students who didn’t know the truth.

After all Dumbledore asked them not to get involved, didn’t he?

Ron also hesitated.

Children usually don’t think too much about it. Harry is his friend, and Harry thinks this can be done, so Ron will naturally follow him to do it.

But Hermione also articulated the problems that would be encountered, which made Ron feel in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Harry felt a little helpless.

He really wanted to tell the two partners directly that they could go back and he could finish the rest by himself.

But before he could say those words, there was a sudden sound of footsteps coming from the door of the principal’s office.

The three of them put aside the debate about this matter at once, and looked at the past together lying on the corner.

I saw the stone beast moving its body slowly, making way for a path.

The young man walked out of the door leisurely.

Harry frowned.

Is it an illusion?

He seemed to see something hanging on the young man’s arm.

It was so far away that Harry wasn’t sure if what he saw was real or not.

After the young man went out, he turned around and nodded to the stone beast.

The stone beast also nodded to him in a similar manner, and slowly crawled back to its original position.

“He doesn’t appear to be Dumbledore’s guest.”

Hermione made a judgment call.

“Why do you say that?” Ron asked suspiciously.

“He came here after that—the giant snake appeared.” Hermione explained in a low voice impatiently. “Think about it—Dumbledore must be dealing with the snake at this time. If he is really Deng Blidore’s guest, then Dumbledore will either invite him to join him, or make him wait in the office. But he came out after only five minutes! There must be something wrong!”

Ron wanted to say that Hermione’s guess was completely wrong – but immediately, he saw an amazing scene.

The young man looked around and walked towards them directly.

As he walked, he raised his hand.

As if carrying something.

Under the horrified eyes of the three people, the young man raised his hands above his head, and then lowered his cover——

Disappeared!

Right in front of the three of them, he disappeared out of thin air!

Harry almost screamed, but Hermione caught him in time and covered his mouth.

Then, she grabbed Harry and Ron’s arms directly, and dragged them into a room with an open door not far away.

The three of them squatted in the corner of the room, covering their mouths and not daring to make a sound.

The young man’s footsteps are still ringing.

After the sound gradually faded away and finally disappeared, the three breathed a sigh of relief.

“What happened just now?”

Just as he relaxed, Harry asked impatiently.

Hermione shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know either.

Ron glanced carefully at the door, retracted his head again, and said hesitantly:

“Fred and George told me before…it was supposed to be the Invisibility Cloak.”

“Invisibility cloak?”

Hermione and Harry repeated it in unison.

“Yes, the invisibility cloak…a very precious magic item that can make the wearer invisible to others.” Ron touched his chin and said uncertainly, “But I forgot what creature’s fur it was made of.” It’s…”

Having said that, he had an idea.

“You said, did he steal the principal’s invisibility cloak?”

“Why does Dumbledore have an invisibility cloak?”

“Dumbledore doesn’t need an invisibility cloak!”

Hermione and Harry spoke in tandem.

In Hermione’s view, Dumbledore should be a serious, serious, even staid old wizard who would not be interested in things like the Invisibility Cloak.

In Harry’s view, Dumbledore is so powerful that he can be invisible without an invisibility cloak.

Facing the doubts of the two friends, Ron shrank his neck.

“How do I know…” At this point, his eyes lit up, “Why don’t we go to Dumbledore’s office now?”

…

Driven by the severe pain, the basilisk frantically walked through the pipe, the scales on its abdomen rubbed against the protruding gravel on the ground, and the stinky blood flowed without even noticing it.

Behind it, the blazing flames seemed to be consciously chasing it, and hideous and terrifying monsters emerged from the flames.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the basilisk finally stopped.

It fell limply, the snake body no longer struggled violently, but lay softly on the ground, only slight convulsions remained.

After a while, its tightly closed mouth opened.

A figure emerged from it.

It’s Ivan.

Opening the mouth of the basilisk who was already powerless to resist, Ivan jumped out directly.

He still maintains his avatar state, and his whole body seems to be made of water.

It’s just that the water that should have been clear and free of impurities was mixed with a trace of viscous liquid.

“vomit–”

After getting out of the basilisk’s mouth, Ivan immediately leaned against the wall and retched without caring about getting rid of his avatar state.

As he vomited, the viscous, disgusting liquid gradually gathered in his throat, and then spit it out all at once.

“Er—the snake’s stomach stinks too much.”

It wasn’t until the excess viscous liquid on his body disappeared that Ivan turned around with his brows tightly furrowed, looking at the fallen basilisk.

Immediately after being swallowed by it, Ivan started messing around in its stomach.

One hand turned into a sharp rock, the other hand was wrapped in raging fire, and the lower body remained in the form of water to resist the foul-smelling liquid in the basilisk’s stomach, desperately attacking it.

At the same time, outside the snake body, he relied on the “eye of insight” to identify the direction, manipulated the water wall to restrict the movement of the basilisk, and finally succeeded in letting it get into the pipe and escape from the secret room.

It has to be said that this was a successful plan.

Although there is a lot of luck in it, under continuous operation, it finally came true.

only……

Ivan picked up the snake and glanced into the pipe.

A group of distorted flames were dancing wildly inside, trying to spread outwards, but they seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier and were completely blocked out.

Looking at the image of the monster constantly emerging from the flames, Ivan knew that it was Fiendfire.

Unstoppable black magic once unleashed, Dumbledore used it to destroy the Horcrux journal – of course, something happened along the way, allowing Riddle’s soul to escape.

However, at this moment, the Fiendfire, which was chasing all the way, couldn’t move forward?

Ivan suddenly realized that he seemed to have come to a remarkable place.
