I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Professor Dumbledore asked all Gryffindor students to return to the auditorium. Ten minutes later, students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and other houses also came. , these students all looked confused.

"The faculty and I will conduct a thorough search of the castle. Orlando, if you don't mind, join us." Professor Dumbledore nodded to Orlando.

"No problem, Professor, it's my honor." It's always a happy thing to have your strength recognized, and Orlando agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick closed all the doors of the Great Hall.

"For your own safety, I think you may have to stay here overnight. I ask the prefects to stand guard at the entrance of the auditorium. The presidents of the male and female student unions will stay in the auditorium to take charge. If anything happens, report to me immediately."

Professor Dumbledore paused and was about to leave the auditorium. He seemed to have missed something. He said, "Oh, by the way, you still need..." He waved his wand casually, and the long tables flew to the edge of the auditorium. He stood against the wall; with another wave, the ground was covered with hundreds of purple sleeping bags.

"Sleep well. Do you have your communication signature with you?"

"In the bag."

"Okay, let's chat online if anything happens."

After settling Hermione, Orlando hurriedly left the auditorium. At this time, the auditorium was so noisy that the roof almost fell off. Gryffindor students were busy telling other students what had just happened.

"Orlando, you and Severus will arrange specific matters for him." Dumbledore quickly arranged the tasks. He was already very experienced in handling such emergencies.

Orlando followed Snape around the castle. The two chatted at first, but then they went about their own business after having nothing to say. Orlando took the time to take out the communication bookmark and talk on the phone with Hermione.

"The transformation spell is well used." Snape glanced at it and couldn't help but admire it.

"At this stage, we can only achieve one-to-one contact. I originally envisioned one-to-many or many-to-many contact, but it won't be possible for a while." Orlando patted the communication bookmark in his hand.

"You can ask Professor McGonagall for advice. She is a master of transfiguration. Of course, the one with the highest achievement is Dumbledore, but he may not be willing to help you."

Snape seemed to have some resentment towards Dumbledore, which was not surprising. He had been spying on the location of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but Dumbledore would not let go and pushed his nemesis Lupine into this position. No matter who There will be resentment.

"It's not urgent. I'm not planning to promote this thing. Maybe I will consider it when I am short of money someday." Orlando and Snape have a good personal relationship, so there is no need to hide some words.

Until three o'clock in the morning, all patrol groups had completed their patrol tasks, and no abnormal findings were found.

"You seem to have known that this would be the case?" Snape asked, surprised by Orlando's calmness.

"The obvious thing is that Black can escape from Azkaban. Black is obviously not an ordinary person. This kind of person will not be stupid enough to stay there and wait for us to catch him. At this time, I think he must have escaped as far as he could."

"Let's go back and resume our lives." Orlando's words completely extinguished Snape's luck. Among the patrollers, he was the one who was most concerned about capturing Black. You must know his relationship with Black. Love, hate, and resentment were deeply rooted in my bones more than ten years ago.

After handing over the patrol mission, Orlando returned to the auditorium alone. As for Snape's suggestion to Dumbledore to expand the patrol area, it was not within his scope. If he had this free time, he might as well sleep in.

"Orlando, are you back?" Harry and Ron, who had been unwilling to sleep, discovered him immediately, and they specially left an empty seat for him.

"How's it going? Did you catch it?" Ron asked impatiently, and there were many sounds of people climbing on the bed.

"Escaped. We searched the entire castle and couldn't find him." Orlando took off his coat and shoes.

"Sleep, don't talk." Percy interrupted their conversation.

Orlando got into the sleeping bag. They divided the boys and girls into two parts. The boys were at one end and the girls were at the other end. In the dark environment, Orlando couldn't figure out where Hermione was.

The dark auditorium soon became silent, all the candles were extinguished, and the only light came from the silver ghosts, who wandered around and acted as tireless guards.The enchanted ceiling reflected the sky outside, filled with stars.

Every hour a teacher patrols the auditorium to see if everything is safe. After all, all the students in the school are gathered here, and all the little wizards from the entire British Isles are gathered here. If there is a bold guy who throws a The explosion curse would probably cause a magnitude [-] earthquake in the magical world. The consequences would be unbearable by anyone, including Dumbledore.

Orlando thought wildly for a while before falling asleep. He vaguely heard Harry calling his name, but Orlando, who was determined not to interfere in the plot, did not open his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Early the next morning, Orlando was surrounded by a group of little wizards asking about last night's situation. The chirping sounds were like three hundred ducks surrounding him.As a last resort, Orlando had to simply tell what he knew and attached his speculations, and then he got rid of everyone.

In the next few days, Blake was talked about everywhere in the school, and the stories about how he entered the castle became more and more mysterious.Orlando heard a Hufflepuff sister-in-law vividly talk about how Black turned into a flowering bush to escape the dementors, and then turned into a bird to cross the English Channel.

It was already noon when the headmaster announced that the risk had been lifted. The Gryffindor students discovered that the damaged portrait of the Fat Lady had been taken down from the wall, replaced by Sir Cadogan and his fat gray dwarf. Stallion portrait.

This was a rude guy. None of the students liked it. The person who made the portrait didn't know if there was something wrong with his brain. Orlando heard Ron complain about this matter more than once.

Fortunately, Sir Cadogan is a bully. Every time he faced Orlando, he did not dare to say a harsh word. He honestly carried out the task of opening the door with the password, which also made all the Gryffindor students very angry. Surprised.

After Ron babbled and showed off, they found out that Orlando had punished Sir Cadogan on the second day of school, which was why Sir Cadogan didn't dare to talk nonsense after seeing him.

"Harry, what's wrong with you? You look so bad." Ron asked softly.

In the common room, Orlando and Hermione were reading and writing homework. The twelve courses were not too stressful for him, but the amount of homework was impossible without spending time and energy, so he did not notice Harry. exception.

"Orlando, can you accompany me to the Quidditch field for training in the evening?" Harry did not answer Ron's question but looked at Orlando expectantly.

"Well, what's going on?" Orlando didn't refuse at all. He wanted to hear Harry's explanation.

"Professor McGonagall believed that I was exposed alone outside the castle during Quidditch training, with only my teammates around me, and that I was vulnerable to Black's attack. She told me that Black's reason for sneaking into Hogwarts was most likely because of me. , if my safety is not guaranteed, she will stop my training. She thinks that if she can persuade you to join her, she will allow me to move outside the castle." Harry finished in one breath.

"No problem, Harry, you don't have to look at me like that." Orlando agreed readily, "We are friends, and I'm happy to help you."

"And me, Harry," Hermione said.

"And me." Ron refused to be outdone.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Harry's eyes suddenly turned red. Looking at his friends, his heart suddenly warmed up. It felt good to have friends.

"Okay, don't be so sensational. We have to speed up the progress of homework and squeeze out time, so as not to delay study or training." Hermione said with a smile.
