A sharp Hogwarts

what is this?

The converging power of the world line?

Can you escape the first day of the lunar month, but not the fifteenth?

However, now is obviously not the time to think about this kind of problem.

"What the hell - Filch is that scary?"

Dalia glanced at the three people who were running away and almost disappeared, and cursed secretly.

It is obvious that in the eyes of Harry, Ron and Hermione, Filch and Mrs. Norris are even scarier than the professors.

The three of them ran down the corridor like headless chickens, and Dalia chased them until they reached the end of the corridor. The three of them slammed into a door.

Harry shook the knocker vigorously.

The door was locked from the inside, and there was no movement.

"The door is locked!"

"It's over, it's over now," Ron whimpered.They pushed against the door desperately. "We are doomed, death is imminent!"

They heard footsteps, Filch was talking to Mrs. Norris, and followed them.

"Think of something, Harry—oh no."

Ron said in a panic, he saw Harry pull out the magic knife and chop it down.

However, it was no use having the blade fall on the thick door lock, this was a solid wood door.

"Oh, get out of here—" Hermione said roughly.

She took the magic knife from Harry's hand, knocked on the door lock and whispered.

“Milky broccoli soup!”

The lock clicked and the door suddenly opened.

They rushed in, and before Dahlia could say anything, she was dragged in by Harry and Ron.

"Milk flavor... broccoli soup?" Ron looked at Hermione in confusion and muttered in a low voice.

""Standard Charm, Level 7" Chapter [-], okay, don't talk now."

Hermione replied casually, closing the door quickly and putting her ear to it, listening.

They heard Filch talking to himself, and the sound of his footsteps receding, as if he was looking elsewhere.

call……

Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

"Filch's gone," Ron said easily. "It seems he thought there was no one in the room."

"Because the door is locked—"

Hermione said angrily, turning around and preparing to continue walking.

However, before the two of them took even half a step, they were grabbed by Dalia and Harry at the same time.

"-However, the door is locked for a reason."

Dalia said cautiously, her voice as soft as falling leaves in summer.

"Now... let's go back slowly, slowly..."

Everyone held their breath subconsciously, and Dalia could clearly feel the hairs on Hermione's arms standing up.

Instead of being in a closed room, they entered a corridor—one that was off-limits to students.

Now everyone knows why this place is off limits.

A huge, nightmarish dog lay there, so huge that it filled all the space from ceiling to floor.

It had three heads, three pairs of vicious eyes, three noses... it was twitching and trembling in their direction.

Oh, and there were three drooling, yawning mouths - Hermione suddenly remembered the metaphor Dalia had used to scare people before.

The monster that can eat three children in one bite...

Really, really appeared? !

The three-headed dog stood motionless, all six eyes fixed on them.

Dalia knew that the only reason why they were not dead yet was because the other person was sleeping just now.

Maybe Hagrid had given an order, but Dalia didn't place any hope on this - Hagrid's animals never distinguish between friend and foe.

The three-headed dog was quickly coming to its senses, and Dalia felt that it was clear what those low, deafening roars meant.

"Run! Sing! Hurry! Sing together..."

Daria turned the doorknob and sang tunelessly.

"Jingle

Bells, Jingle

Bells, Jingle

All

the

Way…”

The three-headed dog seemed to be frightened by Dalia's singing and opened its mouth. Harry and the other two took the opportunity to run out.

After Harry left, Dahlia immediately followed him out and slammed the door.

The three-headed dog finally came to his senses, roared and bit the intruders.

"Hurry up! Push! Push!"

The four of them worked together to hold the door panel and push the ferocious dog's head back. Dalia took the opportunity to pull down the door bolt and closed it inside again.

There was no communication. After the door was locked again, they turned around and ran away, as if a big dog was chasing them.

Filch must have gone to look for them elsewhere. They saw no trace of Filch, and they couldn't care less about it now - they just wanted to escape from the monster as far as possible. The four of them ran all the way to the eighth floor. After crawling into the warm Gryffindor common room in front of Madam's portrait, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What on earth are they doing?! Putting such a monster in the school!"

Ron complained in a hoarse, frightened and angry voice, and he felt that his back was now soaked.

"If there was any animal to train, it would be that one - so scary, what were the professors thinking?!"

"You, you guys, what do you have eyes for?"

Hermione was breathing less, but her bad temper was back, and she said angrily, "Can't you see what it's standing on?!"

"I didn't look at its legs! I was just looking at its heads! Maybe you didn't notice, but it has three heads!"

"The trap door, obviously, it's guarding something."

Before Hermione could answer, Dahlia took the lead in revealing the answer.

"It's not surprising. Three-headed dogs have been guardians of wizards' treasure troves since ancient times."

“Wait a minute—Dalia, you knew this in advance, didn’t you?”

Hermione turned around, glared at her angrily, and said in a determined tone.

"You may encounter monsters when you go out at night, a monster that eats three children in one bite, a three-headed dog, and a trap door—"

"That's right. I hope you can hear me out next time."

Dalia raised her voice and glared back angrily, "We were almost bitten to death——"

"Guard...what is it guarding?" Harry couldn't help but asked curiously.

"None of your business, Harry. I'm going to bed now."

Dalia said angrily as she walked up the spiral steps of the girls' dormitory and glared at Hermione who was hesitant to speak.

"Don't ask me, I won't say anything - you almost led everyone to death today, you know?! Are you still not satisfied?"

"……sorry."

Hermione seemed to have never been yelled at like this before, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She said something vaguely, knocked Dalia away, and ran into the girls' dormitory first.

"Okay, you guys should go to bed...there is class tomorrow - Snape's."

Dalia rubbed her shoulders, turned her head to look at Ron and Harry, raised her hand and waved it as if to ward off mosquitoes.

"But..." Ron still had many questions in his mind.

For example, why did Dalia let everyone sing Christmas songs...it's clear that Christmas hasn't come yet...

"I am a prophet, understand? I have my own reasons."

Dalia glanced at Ron and waved her hand impatiently.

"As for the rest, you can ask Harry later -"

After tonight's incident, she realized that perhaps it was best to be clear about her "identity card."

...Otherwise, some children may not understand it.

First, prophet? !

Ron stared at Dalia's back, his mouth wide open in surprise.

He looked back at Harry, who shrugged and nodded helplessly.

It seemed that he had to finish telling Ron his cousin's story tonight before he could go to bed peacefully.

On the other side, Dalia returned to bed and did not fall asleep.

Ignoring Hermione who was sobbing gently in the next bed, she turned on the magic lamp next to the bed, leaned her back against the pillow and fell into deep thought.

A total of two "minor" plot changes occurred today.

Judging from the results, both ended up falling back to what should have happened in the original world line.

However, the details differ:

The location of Neville's injury changed, and the accompanying change was that Stinky Tofu was injured to the point that she had to leave the field with Neville.

As she leaves the scene of the flying lesson, the conflict between Harry and Malfoy plays out as in the original book, and everything is business as usual.

But the incident about the three-headed dog Luwei is another way of realizing it.

After she erased the "Midnight Duel", the world line turned to the line of the movie plot.

This may be a coincidence, or it may be some kind of binding force of the "plot" - it is like a change in the knot.

In any case, she must be more cautious from now on.

Some important turning points may not be as easy to change as she imagined.

In addition...

"Milk broccoli soup?"

Dalia opened her diary and wrote this word in it.

Immediately afterwards, she wrote "Alajo Cave Open" next to it and connected the two.

"This dish should correspond to the unlocking spell - but what is the connection between them..."

Decipher the changes in the world and the cohesive force of the plot...

Why are there more and more things that worry her...
