Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the clear brilliance is scattered.

The watery moonlight is like a veil on the Hogwarts castle, quiet and hazy, peaceful.

But in the restricted section of the library, Brian's uneasy cry for help came from this strange book in front of him, and he stared at the writing on the book in a daze, falling into deep thought.

Brian felt confused.Reason told him that this might be Voldemort's Horcrux notebook, but his intuition faintly felt that something was wrong.

From the first time he came to the library, he had vaguely felt something calling for help, and even this calling for help resonated with his heart, and even affected his sanity.

As time went by, the cry for help did not reappear, so he denied that speculation.

Until tonight, when Brian entered the restricted area, he clearly sensed the cry for help again, which made it more and more difficult for him to calm down.

"Snapped!"

Brian shut the book abruptly, and as the book was closed, the handwriting on the pages disappeared.He hesitated for a moment, picked up the book and put it in the bag in a mysterious way. There was no writing or title on the cover of the book, but the feel of the cover was obviously different from other books, a bit like touching the skin. Feel.

"Brian, where's the book?"

Brian woke up suddenly, Harry was looking curiously at the position of the book he had put down, and Ron was teasing the cute alchemy creature.

"It looks like the alchemy creature that George and Fred secretly created!" Ron said in surprise!

Brian responded to Ron with a "huh", and then said to Harry with a serious face: "Suddenly disappeared, Harry, the restricted area is a bit weird, let's get out of here first!"

Harry nodded, and said, "I also felt that when I heard that cry for help, I felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason."

"I think we'd better not tell Dumbledore about this!"

Startled, Harry asked, "Why?"

"Trassing into the restricted area in the middle of the night is a violation of school rules after all. One thing more is worse than one thing less!" Brian frowned slightly, and said in an unimaginably low voice, "And Ron didn't I didn't hear that strange voice, it might be the hallucination of both of us. I don't think you should bother Dumbledore with such uncertain things, after all, he still has to deal with that person!"

Of course Harry knew what kind of punishment he would suffer if he trespassed in the restricted area in the middle of the night, but he didn't quite agree with the hallucinations that Brian said.

But he's had enough troubles this semester, dealing with Snape's indiscriminate bombardment for a semester, and avoiding Colin Creevey, an ardent fan from the lower grades.

Compared with those two things, this kind of nonsensical thing is not worth his time to think about.Harry nodded in agreement, and Ron agreed with Brian's words, because he could easily imagine how furious his mother would be if he found out that he had broken into the restricted section in the middle of the night!

Seeing that both of them had agreed, the expression on Brian's face gradually softened, he turned around and walked out the door with the book in gold letters he found earlier, and said softly: "Let's go, Filch may be coming soon." coming soon!"

But the next moment, when he saw the library gate, the smile on his face slowly disappeared and he took several steps back. A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and it was cold from head to toe.He quickly drew out his wand and looked around cautiously.

"What's the matter?" Harry and Ron came over with the Invisibility Cloak and asked curiously.

"The leaf I just caught between the door is gone!" Brian's face became very serious. He searched for a few times before he found the leaf beside a row of bookshelves, and walked over to pick it up.

After a long time, Brian tried his best to restrain his emotions, and asked in the calmest tone: "Did you two come in after me?"

It took the two of them a long time to come back to their senses after hearing this sentence. Harry hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "I came in after you. We were afraid that you would notice the sound of the door opening. But Ron and I were at the door. It’s been waiting on the side for a long time, maybe the two of us accidentally dropped it.”

Ron nodded and said, "Brian, you're thinking too much. If Filch came in too early, he'd arrest us and send us to Snape! It must be because Harry and I didn't notice it." Carefully drop it!"

Brian blinked his eyes and retracted his serious eyes. Then, he lowered his head and calmed down for a while, then raised his head again, and said to the two of them, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, let's leave first." !"

The three tiptoed to restore the library door to its original state, and quietly returned to the common room.Ron went back to the dormitory to rest because he couldn't bear the drowsiness, and only Harry dragged Brian to a sofa in the corner.

Brian was not stable at the moment. Looking back on what happened in the library, he found that there were many doubts worth pondering.The truth didn't seem to be that simple. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.I originally thought that if I was familiar with the plot of the original book, I knew enough about the world, but after thinking about it, I felt more and more terrifying.

First, why did Tom's notebook, one of the Horcruxes, appear in the restricted area? How could this thing make a cry for help when it was clearly in the hands of Lucius Malfoy a year ago.

Second, how did the leaves caught on the door fall near the row of bookshelves? Even if Harry and Ron accidentally dropped them because they stood by the door for a long time, they would not float so far.

Third, what should be the explanation for the voice for help and the two sentences that appeared in the diary?

Thinking of these problems, Brian felt a layer of cold sweat on his body. He decided to escape the history of magic class after dawn and go to the Room of Requirement to make a box with sealed magic power and put it in the notebook. This kind of magic pattern is on Nicolas May's notebook. There are records, the difficulty is not high.

Suddenly feeling a hand patting him, Brian was startled, turned his head and saw Harry looking up at him, eyes full of resentment.

"Brian, why do you have so many potions! Did you steal Snape's potions?"

Harry's words were full of resentment, doubt, and confusion.

Brian smiled mischievously. He even forgot that Harry was by his side for the sake of safety.

However, this situation was not unexpected before. He looked at Harry in disbelief, and whispered, "Harry, why do you think this way? I bought these things in Diagon Alley during my vacation! "

Harry looked at Brian suspiciously: "Where did you get so much money?"

"The Biography of Olyfia was actually written by me, but Harry, you have to keep it a secret for me!"

Harry nodded, wondering, "It's really not you?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, look at my sincere eyes!"

Brian's eyes were so sincere, Harry was a little puzzled for a moment.

Was it someone else who framed him, or did he really do it?

If it's the latter, it's even more terrifying.

"I believe you, Brian. It's my fault, but I really can't remember it." Harry said apologetically.

"It's nothing Harry, if this happened to me, I would... After all, Snape is too..." Brian hesitated, and said solemnly: "But Harry, I must Just one thing to remind you, watch out for Lockhart..."

Before he finished speaking, he quickly stood up and turned his head to look at the entrance of the lounge with a very solemn expression.
