The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 73 Neville's Miserable Life

Neville has had a rough time of late.Because just a few days ago, he was discovered by Filch after he helped Hagrid send Norbert away with Harry and Ron.

Oh, and Norbert was Hagrid's Norwegian Ridgeback.Hagrid thought it was cute and cute, but Neville didn't think so at all.If he is the only one, then he must not dare to approach Norber.

The last Ron, who believed Hagrid's words and wanted to touch Norbert, was bitten severely by Norbert on the hand. His whole hand was swollen as big as his head, and he lay down in the school hospital for a whole day. One day, I barely got up on a Saturday night.

But Neville felt that Ron must have regretted fighting the pain that night to get up and find him and Harry.Because that meant that the college points that were supposed to be deducted by only 100 points were eventually deducted by 150 points.

Neville knew he was stupid, especially if he was always forgetful.So he has always tried to be safe in his work.If he was expelled from Hogwarts for breaking the school rules, his grandma would kill him.Therefore, he has been trying his best to abide by the school rules, and he doesn't have the guts to do things like night tours.

Yes, it was like that until that day.

That day, Harry and Ron found him, hoping to get his help.

"Neville, I hope you can do us a little favor." Harry pulled Neville to an empty corner and whispered.

"What, what are you busy with?"

"Before you say it, can you promise us that you will never tell others about it? Don't worry, I swear, I won't let you do bad things. "

Neville thought about it, this was the first time someone asked him for help, before he would only do others a disservice, so he still felt a little happy.And the person who asked him for help was the famous Harry Potter.

People say that Harry is a great person, so it shouldn't be possible for Harry to do bad things, right?And it's just not to tell others about the matter. If he feels bad after listening to the specific content, he can still refuse, and by the way, he can find a way to stop Harry and the two of them.

"Okay, I promise."

"Thank you, Neville. It's actually like this, Hagrid, you know? It's the Hogwarts keykeeper and gamekeeper. The one who's 3 meters tall and has a big beard."

Neville nodded.

"Hagrid got a dragon egg from someone else, and now a baby dragon has hatched from that egg. We have to get that dragon away before it burns down Hagrid's house, or Hagrid will die." There's big trouble! We've made an appointment with Ron's brother to send the dragon away this Saturday night, but Ron's hand is hurt and I can't move the dragon by myself. We've thought about it for a long time, Only you can help us!"

"But, you can't leave the lounge at night." Although Neville was a little moved by Harry's words, he still said hesitantly.

"Urgent action! If it is revealed that Hagrid raised a dragon, he will go to jail, and we must help him!"

In the end, Neville agreed to help them.He once heard his grandma say that if wizards break the law, they will be imprisoned in a place called Azkaban.It is said that it is very scary there.

Kind little Neville didn't want Hagrid to be imprisoned there.Although he and Hagrid were not familiar, both Harry and Ron said that Hagrid was very nice.

Afterwards, Neville was taken by Harry and Ron to meet Hagrid. By the way, he saw the fire dragon and knew its name - Norbert.

Norber is a Norwegian spinosaur.To be honest, Neville thinks Norbert is very ugly, skinny, and has a bad temper, always biting something.He really couldn't understand why anyone would want to keep such an animal.

After confirming the plan with Hagrid, the three couldn't wait to escape there.

On Saturday night, Neville and Harry put on Harry's Invisibility Cloak and left the common room.

The invisibility cloak is really amazing, just put it on, and the whole person will disappear.Neville felt that his nervousness was relieved a lot. With the Invisibility Cloak, they were not afraid of being caught.

Things went smoothly, although they met Professor McGonagall and Malfoy on the way, but thanks to the Invisibility Cloak, they were not found.

After only a short wait at the top of the tower, Ron's brother's friends arrived.They greeted Neville and Harry warmly, and then tied Norbert firmly to the broomstick.

After Norbert the dragon was successfully sent away, Neville was overjoyed.He rarely succeeds in one thing, which gives him a sense of accomplishment and makes him a little carried away.

Neville and Harry left the tower talking and laughing, but their smiles could not last long.Once in the corridor, they saw Filch's face emerge from the darkness.

The experience after that was nothing short of a nightmare.They were taken to Professor McGonagall's office, where they accidentally found Ron who was supposed to be lying in the school hospital.

It turned out that Ron was worried about them, so he sneaked out of the school hospital by himself and came to look for them, but he was caught by Professor McGonagall on the way.

Each of the three people was deducted 50 points by Professor McGonagall, a total of 150 points!
Everyone was stunned the next morning when someone discovered that Gryffindor's house points had inexplicably dropped by about half!After knowing the whole story, Neville, Harry and Ron became the three most unpopular people in Gryffindor College.No one wants to talk to them anymore.

Oh no, it's not like no one.Slytherin students greet them warmly every time they see them.

"Hey, are you Neville Longbottom? Thank you, thanks to you, this year's House Cup is our Slytherin again."

Whenever Neville heard this sentence, he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Neville regretted it so much!But he didn't regret the night tour, even if he was asked to choose again, he would probably agree to it.

What Neville regretted was his own complacency.If he had remembered well that night and put on the Invisibility Cloak on his return, they would not have been caught by Filch.

This kind of regret reached its peak after meeting Hermione.

Neville and Hermione met for the first time on the Hogwarts Express.At the time he thought Hermione was a nice person, especially compared to someone who had cheated on him and killed him.

Although that person treated him to a big meal later, it was not enough to remove the shadow in his heart.By the way, there is also 'Leife'.

And after studying and living in Hogwarts for a period of time, he became more grateful to Hermione.Because Hermione never disliked him because of his clumsiness, but tirelessly taught him to do homework over and over again.

So when faced with Hermione's questioning, Neville finally broke his promise to Harry and told Hermione everything.He wasn't asking for Hermione's forgiveness, he was just trying to make himself feel better.

……

Nearly a week had passed since that Saturday night.After the first few days, Neville was surprised to find that as long as he could ignore the sarcasm from Slytherin, not only did his life not get worse, but it was much better than before!

In the past, no one wanted to be friends with Neville, except for Hermione who would talk to him when helping him with homework, everyone else thought he was too stupid.

And now, perhaps because of facing people's censure together, his relationship with Harry and Ron has improved by leaps and bounds, directly skipping the stage of ordinary friends and becoming close friends.

Neville wondered if he should be happy.But he knew that he would never forget this experience.He will always remember the lesson of this time, and will not get carried away again!
