Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

He led Harry out of the crowd to where he could see the edge of the pitch.

Ivan and Hermione, who hadn't squeezed into the crowd just now, hurried up to meet them. They first congratulated Harry for catching the Golden Snitch, and then talked about the Dementor.

"It's Malfoy, Goyle, Crabbe, and Marcus Flint. The four of them pretended to be dementors to scare you." Hermione said with a smile, "But they miscalculated. Malfoy probably didn't expect to After meeting so many patron saints, I was quite frightened."

In front of them, Professor McGonagall was bending over Malfoy and the others furiously, and Snape stood beside her, looking slightly embarrassed with a gloomy expression on his face.

He never imagined that the students in his academy would be so stupid!

"Despicable means!" Professor McGonagall yelled sharply. "Conspiracy to frame the Gryffindor team Seeker, obscene and cowardly! You will all be punished, and fifty points from Slytherin House will be deducted! I want Tell Professor Dumbledore about this, yes, I will also inform your parents to let them know what the four of you have done!"

Malfoy shuddered and looked at Snape for help.

Snape gave him a hard look, and turned around to intercede for Malfoy, but Professor McGonagall didn't give him a chance, she didn't even look at Snape.

If there was one thing that could make everyone happy and seal the victory for Gryffindor, it was the situation at hand.

They watched Professor McGonagall ignoring Snape, and Malfoy standing there in panic. Behind him, the heads of Goyle and Crabbe were still wrapped in their robes, struggling hard, and everyone couldn't help laughing. Can't straighten up.

Colin frantically pressed the shutter of the camera to record this picture.

"I dare say it's enough to keep me happy for a year!" Ron pushed his way to Harry's side.

"This is the happiest day of my life!" Harry replied.

"Come on, Harry!" Fred and George also tried to push their way, and they shouted in unison, "The party, the Gryffindor common room, now!"

It seemed that Gryffindor College hadn't been this lively for a long time. Harry and the other players led the way, wearing scarlet robes, walking out of the stands and returning to the castle.

Everyone followed them as if they had won the Quidditch Cup.

Not even Sirius came along as everyone crowded into the Gryffindor common room, and the party went on all day and into the evening.

Fred and George Weasley disappeared for two hours while the house-elves were bringing dinner, returning with bottles of Butterbeer, fizzy pumpkin juice and huge bags of Honeydukes sweets.

Everyone was laughing, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its climax.

There were only two people who weren't at the party, Hermione in the first place.She sat in a corner in disbelief, trying to read a huge book called "Civilization and Living Habits of the Centaur Clan", which was a thousand pages thick and looked daunting.

Beside her, Ivan was drawing the trajectory of Mars in a notebook.

Unlike Hermione, she had originally planned to go to the party.

But just imagine, when you are having fun, there is always someone looking at you from behind, what kind of feeling will it be?

In short, in the middle of the party, Aiwen had to sit beside Hermione honestly and study the astrology chart she recorded this semester.

Everyone occasionally looked at these two people strangely. After seeing Hermione's face, they all cautiously did not dare to approach them. No one wanted to be lectured.

Just as everyone was watching Fred and George start juggling butterbeer bottles, Harry walked up to the two of them with three drinks in hand.

"Relax, Ivan, Hermione!" Harry said, "After the game, you two have been sitting here reading a book, I don't understand..."

"Obviously, if you and Ron could be a little more nervous, we wouldn't be so tired!" Hermione said sharply. She closed the book heavily and looked at Harry angrily. We're going to find the Centaur in the Forbidden Forest in an hour, and I can't believe you're still partying instead of preparing!"

"This..." Harry shook his head before he remembered such a thing.

He was looking forward to the adventure tonight, but he was overwhelmed by the joy of winning the game and the joyous atmosphere afterwards, and forgot about it.

Ron seemed to be similar, he seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

"I don't think you need to worry, with Sirius here, we..." Harry faltered.

"He's worse than you and Ron. I doubt he remembers what we're going to do tonight." Hermione looked angrily at Sirius, who was fighting with several senior students, "He's already drunk Drunk, is he going to take us to the centaur tribe like this?!"

Harry didn't know how to answer Hermione, he looked at Ivan for help.

Ai Wen gave him a helpless look, he knew that Hermione was just too nervous because she was about to go to the centaur tribe, so she was a little irritable.

Facing Hermione in this state, he had nothing to do.

What's more, facing the unknown adventure tonight, he also became nervous.

Chapter 272 The Boys' Talk and the Forbidden Forest

At Hermione's insistence, Harry and Ron reluctantly sat beside her and began their research on the centaurs.

However, the two of them couldn't concentrate, always discussing the game in low voices.

Harry thought he could catch the Snitch faster, and he had a chance before.

Ron told him that he was being too polite to Cho Chang and that he was restrained early on.

Then, the topic of the two of them shifted from Quidditch to Qiu and the other girls, and when Hermione wasn't paying attention, Aiwen was brought into the discussion.

"All in all, that Ravenclaw Seeker is really good at flying, and she's probably the best of all the girls in the school." Ron covered himself with a book and whispered, "But compared to you, she As for the broomsticks used, there is no comparison, the Firebolt is the best, it is a world-class broomstick, and it is not popular even in professional leagues."

"Qiu Fei is great, I'm not much better than her." Harry said objectively, "If it wasn't for the Firebolt, I might not have won so easily today."

He smiled slightly, and the appearance of Qiu wearing the sky blue shirt appeared in his mind, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

"You're just too condescending to her because she's a girl!" Ron disagreed with Harry, "According to Wood, you're too gentlemanly."

"But..." Harry wanted to explain.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ai Wen, he also witnessed the whole process."

"If you want me to say, Qiufei is really good, the key is that she is also very beautiful." Aiwen said with a sense of understanding, "Harry, if you have a crush on her, you can try to ask her out. I heard Luna said that she doesn't have a boyfriend yet!"

"I don't think that way..." Harry argued vigorously.

His face was flushed and he looked unconvincing.

In fact, as Ai Wen said, he does have a crush on Qiu.

To be more precise, he may have fallen in love with each other.However, Harry is relatively slow in this area, has no experience at all, and he is not aware of this situation.

Now when he thinks of Qiu, he is purely excited and heartbroken.

As the topic deepened, Harry felt his face getting redder and redder. In order not to let Ivan and Ron laugh at him, he hurriedly shifted the topic to Hermione.

"Ivan, how are you and Hermione going?!" Harry lowered his voice behind Hermione's back, "To be honest, have you two ever done that kind of thing?"

"What's the matter?!" Ivan looked at him strangely.

"It's just..." Harry hesitated, then whispered, "Kiss!"

Hearing his words, Ron spurted out the sip of juice he just drank.

Coughing violently, he stood up from the sofa, almost knocking over the small round table because of too much force.

Hermione looked up at Ron's noise.

She squinted her eyes and stared at the three of them suspiciously, her eyes full of suspicion.

"You kissed Hermione?!" Ron said in surprise, he looked at Ivan hesitantly, and then looked back at Hermione who was reading a book.

Before Ivan had time to explain, Harry continued to Ron, "On Christmas night, at the Leaky Cauldron, Ivan and Hermione went out alone. About 20 minutes later, Hermione blushed. Came back and looked weird..."

Harry and Ron all looked at Ivan, their eyes full of inquiry.

"Well, it's not really a kiss." Ai Wen argued, "It was just a light touch under a Christmas tree in Diagon Alley."

Time seemed to stand still, his thoughts returned to that night, and his heart beat slightly faster.

Harry and Ron on the opposite side looked at Ivan in astonishment, their expressions even more exaggerated than his.

Harry looked completely stunned. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect Ivan to admit it readily.But he quickly recovered and became extremely excited, sincerely happy for Ivan and Hermione.

Ron was not yet immersed in the shock, he was brooding over the incident, and seemed to want to say something else.

Before he could get any further on the subject, Fred and George came over with butterbeers to toast.

They laughed happily, much to Hermione's dismay.She looked up irritably, and shooed them all away, telling Harry and Ron to leave and rejoin the party, so she could hurry up and concentrate on reading the remaining 400-odd pages of the book at hand.

The carnival has been going on and there is no sign of stopping.

"Does he know what we are going to do later?!" Hermione whispered, she curled up on the sofa and stared at Sirius, "The Forbidden Forest at night is very dangerous, we should be prepared, not here Drinking orgy..."

Around ten o'clock in the evening, she suddenly put down the magic book in hand.

Hermione seemed to have made some kind of decision. She walked over and said a few words carefully to Sirius. Ivan saw that Sirius was full of apologies, as if he was apologizing to Hermione.

A few minutes later, Hermione walked straight back, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Get ready to go, Alvin!" she whispered.

Hermione pulled Ivan out of the common room, and behind them, there was a mess of whistles.They were not the first couple to go out, and everyone had a clear expression on their faces, as if they already knew what Ivan and Hermione were going to do.

Both Ivan and Hermione blushed, trying to pretend that they didn't hear the whistles.

"What did you tell Sirius?" Ivan asked curiously.

"Nothing, just remind him to pay attention to the time."

In the dark corridor, Hermione repeated to Ivan what she had just said to Sirius.

But Ivan kept thinking about the content of his conversation with Harry and Ron in his head. He looked at Hermione in front of him, and his thoughts drifted further and further away.

Time passed, and at about 10:30 at night, Sirius, Harry, and Ron came out one by one.

Fred and George seemed to be performing some kind of show, the common room was still noisy, and the carnival showed no signs of ending.

"Let's go, to the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest." Harry said excitedly, without the fatigue he had just finished the game.

"The five of us better hurry up, so that no one else notices that we have left the castle." Sirius was completely back to normal, not at all drunk, "I just asked Fred and George, they Will try to keep the carnival going."

Sirius led everyone to the foyer, while telling them what to pay attention to.They walked through the old castle gates and strode across the pitch-black grounds. The tension became more tense as they approached the dark, silent Forbidden Forest, and everyone was cautious.

The moonlight was very bright, but clouds kept drifting over to cover the moon, making them plunge into darkness.

It's hard to imagine that just now, a few of them were still having a carnival in the brightly lit common room, but now they asked to enter the forbidden forest full of dangers.

Harry and Ron's expressions gradually became serious, and they didn't have the energy to think about messy things anymore.

They seem to realize that venturing into the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night is not as easy as they imagined.

Chapter 273 The Whereabouts of the Second Key

In the darkness, Ivan saw the lighted windows of Hagrid's cabin.

They didn't get close, but walked in another direction. In the breeze, they walked slowly along a narrow path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the black jungle.

Except for Ron, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione all had the experience of entering the Forbidden Forest late at night.

But those experiences were very bad.

Harry and Hermione were sent to solitary confinement in their first year.

They entered the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid and Malfoy in the middle of the night to look for the unicorn hurt by Voldemort. Harry even saw Voldemort himself at that time.

Aiwen chased Peter Pettigrew into the Forbidden Forest a month ago.

In addition to dealing with Peter, he also had a battle with the terrifying acromantulas.In the end, he burned down the lair of the acromantula leader Aragog and hundreds of acromanders. These monsters must hate him to death by now.

The acromantula has a high degree of intelligence and is very vengeful. If they know that Aiwen has entered the Forbidden Forest again, they will definitely swarm up and fight him desperately.

Fortunately, they didn't go to the territory of the giant spider.

Under the leadership of Sirius, the few of them continued to go deeper along the narrow path.

It was dark and silent in the Forbidden Forest.Under the faint light of the magic wand, everyone walked forward silently, close together, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and the voices became lower and lower, no one knew what was waiting for them.

Every time you move forward, you will encounter a fork in the road.

It can be seen that Sirius is very familiar with the surrounding area, and he chose the right path without much hesitation.

Soon, Aiwen saw a rushing and meandering stream at the end of the road, and they walked upstream for more than an hour, getting farther and farther away from the castle.

The five of them have entered the core area of ​​the Forbidden Forest. On both sides of the stream are tall trees that have never changed since ancient times. The ground is covered with thick moss and unknown plants. It seems that no one has stepped on it for centuries, and they can be seen from time to time. A magical creature that comes to drink.

Behind a dark green rock, Ivan found a rare deformed lizard.

It was about ten inches long, with silver-green markings on its body, and it was huddled in a corner, motionless, as if it were the rock itself.

As soon as Aiwen approached, it quickly got out and fled into the distance.

If it wasn't because there were important things waiting for him, Ivan would have wanted to catch this guy.You must know that the scale skin of the deformed lizard is a very precious magic material, which can be used to make wallets or storage bags. The bag made of this scaly material will automatically shrink when strangers approach, and it is difficult to hide it on the body. Others found out.

It is definitely one of the must-have equipment for wizards when used together with the Untraceable Stretching Curse.

Ai Wen secretly said that it was a pity, and they walked forward for a while, and took a short rest near a river beach full of round stones.

"We'll be there soon, and this is the territory of the centaurs." Sirius carefully checked the surroundings, "I was hiding in the Forbidden Forest last summer when I was avoiding the pursuit of the dementors and the Ministry of Magic. Food. But I seldom go around here, the horses don't like humans near them."
