A friendly day at Hogwarts

"I once heard Dumbledore say this," Glenn smiled and said, "What you see is often what you wish you saw."

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked confused.

"It's actually very simple." Glenn explained, "When you preconceptionally believe that Harry is the heir of Slytherin, no matter what unreasonable things you encounter, you will try your best to forcefully explain it."

Hannah seemed to understand what he meant and nodded thoughtfully.

"For example, Harry's question just now," Glenn continued, "What reason does he have to attack Muggle-born students?"

Ernie still insisted on his opinion: "Everyone knows that he hates the Muggles who live with him."

"It's impossible to live with the Dursleys and not hate them." Harry said speechlessly, "I hope you give it a try."

"As I said, you have already determined that Harry is the heir of Slytherin, so you subconsciously ignore those unreasonable things." Glenn said calmly, "I might as well ask you another question - if If you said Harry hates Muggle-born wizards, why did he become such a good friend with Hermione?"

"This" Ernie was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"Thank you, Glenn."

Harry said gratefully as he left the library.

Glenn shook his head and smiled at him: "If it's just for helping you out, there's nothing to be grateful for. But if you want to thank me for trusting you so much, then I'll accept it."

"All of them." Harry thought for a while and said.

"By the way, how's the Polyjuice Potion? We need to speed up the progress." The two of them walked along the stairs and turned to another corridor, preparing to go downstairs for lunch.

This corridor was dark and cold. The glass of any window was loose. Cold wind kept pouring in. The torches on the wall were blown out at some point.

"That's about it, said Hermione."

Harry was just halfway through speaking when there was a sudden "bang" in front of him, as if someone had opened a door with great force.Immediately afterwards——

"We're doing it! We're doing it again! No matter whether we are humans or ghosts, we are not immune! Run for your life!"

It was a piercing scream, coming from Peeves.

A series of sounds of door panels hitting the wall were heard. The doors in the corridor were pushed open one after another. Professors and students swarmed out. The scene was once very chaotic.

Glenn and Harry were squeezed to the wall without any surprise, and smoothly blended into the crowd of onlookers.Since they had not yet had time to reach the location where the attack occurred, no one, including Peeves, became suspicious of them.

Justin Finch-Fletchley lay on his back on the floor, cold and stiff, with a look of terror on his face.Next to him was the almost headless Nick, who had turned into a smoky black and was floating motionless in the air.Half of the head he usually used to scare people was missing, and his face had the same frightened expression.

The corridor was noisy and packed with people.Professor McGonagall had to pull out her wand and make a loud noise. Then the crowd calmed down and returned to their classroom.

The little wizards gradually dispersed, and Ernie, who they had just met, rushed to the scene panting.

"Justin!" he exclaimed and ran over. When he passed Harry, he subconsciously took another look.

Justin was carried to the hospital by Professor Flitwick and Professor Sinister from the Department of Astronomy, but no one seemed to know what to do with the almost headless Nick.

"Leave it to me, Professor McGonagall," Glenn said, conjuring a large fan.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ollivander. Please send Sir Nicholas to the school hospital." Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "Mr. Potter, follow me."

"Huh?" Glenn was slightly startled.

Harry also said in confusion: "Professor, I don't have one."

"I know this matter has nothing to do with you." Professor McGonagall said, "Don't worry, this is Professor Dumbledore's arrangement."

"Okay." Harry nodded and followed her up the stairs.

Glenn fanned the nearly headless Nick like a black hovercraft all the way to the school hospital and helped Madam Pomfrey place him on a hospital bed.

It seems that due to being petrified, the ghost actually seems to have a physical body and will not fall directly through the hospital bed.

After placing Nick, Glenn left the school hospital and went downstairs to have lunch.

Qiu had already arrived at the auditorium, frowning and looking nervously at the door. She didn't let out a breath until she saw Glenn coming in.

"Where have you gone?" Qiu said angrily, "There was another attack in the castle. I can't find you anywhere. Eddie and Marcos also said they haven't seen you this morning. I'm almost worried. died!"

"Ah this"

Glenn smiled and scratched his head. The Golden Snitch was still in his pocket. Naturally, he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to make up an excuse at random.

"It's fine." Qiu didn't ask further questions and added two chicken drumsticks to his plate.

Seeing the clean plate in front of the girl, Glenn was even more moved. Qiu had obviously been worried about him and didn't even bother to take a bite of the meal.

While the two were eating, Harry walked into the auditorium and sat next to Hermione and Ron. The two immediately leaned their heads together and whispered something.

Not long after, Dumbledore also appeared at the door and strode to the teacher's desk.

"Please note," he glanced at Glenn and said loudly, "I have to inform everyone of a very sad news. I'm sorry to tell you that one of our classmates and a school ghost were attacked this morning. .”

Everyone put down their knives and forks and turned their attention to Dumbledore.

Since the scene just now was witnessed by many people, most students already knew the news at this time.

"Some of you may not be aware that there is a secret that has been hidden for many years in Hogwarts Castle - Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Dumbledore's voice was extremely serious, "That is a very, very dangerous place. .”

Glenn frowned, a little surprised as to why he suddenly announced the secret room.Although there are many rumors in the castle, most people do not know the specific situation.

"In view of what has happened recently, I have to inform everyone that the secret room has been opened."

There was an uproar in the auditorium, just as Glenn guessed. Although everyone had various speculations since Mrs. Norris was petrified, when the matter was actually announced, it still inevitably caused panic.
