Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

"..."

Draco remained silent, but still did not let go of the sleeve of her robe.

"Okay, Draco, stay here and cover for Harry and me if anyone asks about us."

Amanta said helplessly.

There wasn't that much time left, Quirrell might rush over at any time -

Draco untied the dark green silk robe he was wearing.

"…Draco, what are you doing?"

"I'm going." Draco put the robe into the family emblem ring. "You saved me before... As friends, we will never let each other fall into danger, right?"

"...Okay, there's not much time left. Let's go together."

Amanta pinned Draco down and cast a Disillusionment Charm. Then she pulled Draco up carefully, avoiding touching anything.

They walked along the Slytherin table towards the door on the right at the back of the Great Hall.

Along the way, Bryce and Theodore were talking not far from them, and Goyle and Crabbe were still eating and drinking - no one at the other long tables paid attention to this place for the time being.

Just as Amanta breathed a sigh of relief, the Gryffindor boy next to her stood up, waving his arms and gesturing at something, his arms were about to hit their chests -

She pulled Draco down and quickly dodged to the side, accidentally bumping into a tall Slytherin boy.

"Who?!"

The Slytherin boy turned his head impatiently.

Amanta was startled and lowered herself as low as possible to hide herself.

"Jordan! It's you again, looking for trouble? You got the wrong person!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Don't think you can get away with it by pretending to be confused. I know all the tricks you guys like to play!"

"..."

The tall Slytherin boy and the Gryffindor boy who had just been waving his arms started arguing without giving in, and they were almost about to roll up their sleeves and throw curses at each other.

"Alright! What are you guys arguing about? God, don't let anything happen at this critical moment..."

Percy, Gryffindor's prefect, hurried over.

Amanta and Draco took the opportunity to crouch down, brush past Percy, and quietly avoid the battlefield.

Someone spilled pumpkin juice on the ground along the way, and their feet kept slipping.

…I have to say, maybe Harry’s choice to walk under the long table was a wise one.

Although Harry obviously came out later than them.

Amanta pulled Draco and squatted behind the huge pumpkin lantern on the right side of the door.

"Shit, how are we going to reunite with Harry? We can't see him and he can't see us—"

Draco peered from behind the jack-o'-lantern.

"The Disillusionment Charm can't make a person completely invisible. If you look closely, you might find some abnormalities," Amanta explained.

After about two or three minutes, Amanta suddenly stood up and grabbed the air in front of her.

"coming."

"Uh-huh——" A terrified groan was heard in the air.

Amanta quickly covered his mouth.

"Shh - Harry, don't scream, it's us."

"...Yes, I almost forgot that you are also invisible."

Harry panted and wiped the cold sweat from his head: "How did you get here? Why didn't I see you when I crawled under the table?"

"Never mind, let's go."

Amanta looked back and saw that the Slytherin table seemed to have noticed their disappearance, which caused a commotion among some students. The prefect Gemma was walking around the table counting the number of people.

After all, the three vacancies at the long table were too obvious to be concealed for too long.

"Go to the fourth floor!"

Amanta ran ahead, striding through the corridor and up the stairs.

"Yo, yo, yo - I caught you! Hehe, a few freshmen didn't listen to Dumbledore and sneaked out of the hall."

Peeves was hanging upside down from the wall, his legs dangling and his face grinning wildly.

"I'm going to tell Filch! Tell him there are a few unruly students here -"

He picked up a vase from the corner and threw it at them.

The vase clattered to the ground beside them, a loud crack that echoed down the hallway.

Harry glanced back nervously, making sure the back of the corridor was clear.

"Peeves, we have something important to do—"

"Important? Please, please... What could be more important than me tearing off your robes?"

Peeves reached out and grabbed Harry's robes by the collar, pulling them back.

"Petrificus Totalus! Impedimenta!"

Amanta pulled out her wand and instantly cast a few spells. Peeves screamed and dodged to the sides: "Oh my, this is incredible. The new students nowadays are really incredible."

"Run!"

The Obstacle Charm could probably delay Peeves for a few seconds. Amanta led Harry and Draco up the stairs while throwing the Obstacle Charm back at them.

They ran through the trophy room on the fourth floor, through the armor corridor, and turned through countless corridors.

When turning around the Charms corridor, Amanta suddenly lifted up a tapestry beside the corridor and said to Draco and Harry, "Go in quickly."

"Oh my God, there is a secret passage here..." Harry exclaimed.

They quickly entered the narrow passage behind the tapestry.

Peeves passed by here cursing, and didn't notice that they were hiding here at all.

"Where are those annoying freshmen? Tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

After Peeves' voice faded away, Draco stretched his arms uncomfortably and whispered, "Amanta, should we go out and look for that corridor?"

"No. See that door?"

Amanta lifted the tapestry a little and pointed to the door at the end of the Charms corridor.

There was an inconspicuous door at the end of the corridor, but the door seemed to have been violently damaged.

After all, the three big dogs were released from here.

"Could it be there?"

"Yes." Amanta answered briefly, "Let's leave here first - someone may come later."

She stood up, lifted her feet lightly, and retreated silently along the narrow and dark passage.

This is a secret passage leading from the Charms corridor to the Armour corridor.

Just as they moved to the armored corridor, they suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from under the stairs.

The three of them were suddenly unable to breathe.

After exchanging a tense glance, they separated and hid behind a suit of armor, listening carefully to capture any useful information.

"Master... I, we will stay here."

Quirrell's stammering voice came from the corridor.

"What? This place is too easy to be discovered... Oh, you mean... there is a passage behind the tapestry? Yes, yes, why didn't I think of it?"

Quirrell's footsteps gradually approached here.
