HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts

Chapter 108 The Disappearing Fat Lady

Segnus led a few people to the teacher's seat, and when they came to Professor Snape, she smiled boldly and said, "Professor, if you don't give me candy, I will play tricks on you."

Professor Snape's originally stern face twitched slightly when he saw Seconas. His eyes then turned to Harry and stared at him for a long time.

Harry felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, his heart beating fast, and he didn't know why Professor Snape was staring at him like that.

Finally, Professor Snape retracted his gaze and said venomously: "Today is Halloween, and you little brats have come to torture your poor old professor."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to Cygnus.

At this time, Headmaster Dumbledore came over, blinked his eyes, and said mischievously, "It seems that our Severus is very popular among students."

As he spoke, he threw a lemon sherbet into his mouth, which was just given to him by Segnus.

Professor Snape looked at Dumbledore expressionlessly, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just reminded him coldly: "Eat less sweets, otherwise I won't have enough time to make a tooth-healthy potion for you."

His eyes scanned the hall and finally landed on Harry.

Harry suddenly felt under a lot of pressure. He nervously squeezed the bag of candy in his hand and prayed secretly that Professor Snape would not cause him trouble.

Headmaster Dumbledore didn't care about Snape's reminder. He was chewing lemon snowflakes with a smile on his face, looking like he was enjoying it.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and he turned to Snape and said, "Severus, how about you just show everyone how to dance?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students in the auditorium looked at Professor Snape curiously, wanting to see how he would react.

Professor Snape's face turned even paler. He glared at Dumbledore and pursed his lips, obviously trying to suppress his anger.

Segnus and the others stared at Professor Snape expectantly with their eyes wide open, secretly wondering whether he would agree.

At this moment, Professor Snape suddenly made an unexpected move. He glared at Dumbledore, then turned and strode out of the hall.

Everyone looked at each other, but Dumbledore laughed.

The Halloween dinner gradually came to an end with the departure of Professor Snape, but the atmosphere in the hall did not diminish in the slightest.

Hermione hugged Seconas and planned to return to Gryffindor Tower, while Seconas also prepared to go to the Slytherin cellar with Draco and others.

As the two were saying goodbye, Percy hurried down from Gryffindor Tower. Seeing Cygnus, he seemed to have found his backbone and said excitedly, "Cygnus, the Fat Lady is gone!"

Sensei knew that the Fat Lady was a singing portrait on the Gryffindor gate, and that no one was allowed to enter without the correct password.

She patted Percy's shoulder gently and said to him comfortingly: "Go find Headmaster Dumbledore. He knows what to do."

Percy frowned, nodded hesitantly, and turned to walk towards Headmaster Dumbledore.

Segnus watched his back, but she made a bold guess in her heart: the disappearance of the Fat Lady must be inextricably linked to Sirius Black.

She still remembered the figure she accidentally caught a glimpse of in the Whomping Willow that day. Although it was only for a moment, she was sure that it was Sirius.

Professor Dumbledore heard Percy's report and rushed over. Seeing Sensei and others gathered together, he frowned and made a quick decision: "Professor McGonagall, please go find Mr. Filch immediately and search every painting in the castle."

Professor McGonagall nodded and turned away.

At this time, Peeves was floating in the air, smiling and saying to everyone: "The Fat Lady is hiding in the portrait on the fifth floor and crying pitifully."

Professor Dumbledore looked up at Peeves and asked, "Did she say why?"

Peeves grinned and replied, "Because she wouldn't let Sirius in, but he tried to break in anyway, Sirius Black."

When they heard the name, everyone looked nervous.

Hearing what Peeves said, Dumbledore's face became serious. He knew how dangerous Sirius Black was.

He immediately ordered the deans of each college: "Take the students to the Hogwarts Great Hall immediately and ensure their safety."

After saying that, he also hurried to the auditorium.

Inside the auditorium, students from various colleges arrived one after another, with worried and confused looks on their faces.

Dumbledore walked to the front of the stage and said in his loud voice: "Students, for everyone's safety, we will spend the night here."

Then, hundreds of purple sleeping bags appeared in the auditorium. Although the students were confused, they did not ask any questions and picked up the sleeping bags to find their own seats.

As Segnus watched her classmates spread out their sleeping bags one by one, she couldn't help but sigh that this Halloween was truly different.

She had just laid out the sleeping bag when she saw Theodore silently dragging the sleeping bag to her side and lying down carefully.

His movements seemed a little stiff, as if he was trying to suppress his inner tension.

Then, Draco quickly placed his sleeping bag next to Sensenas. He lay down with ease and even gave Sensenas a smug smile.

Looking at the two of them, Segnus couldn't help but smile. At this time, Blaise and others also came over.

Seeing that the empty seat next to Cygnus was already occupied by Theodore and Draco, they reluctantly found a seat around Cygnus.

Blaise dragged his sleeping bag and walked to the opposite side of Segnus with a helpless look on his face. He spread the sleeping bag on the ground and then lay down in it angrily.

Pansy and Astoria beside him also lay down, both of them frowning, obviously unhappy with the unexpected events of the night.

At this time, Hermione and Harry from Gryffindor also ran over, dragging their sleeping bags, with worry and tension on their faces.

Harry quickly found a spot next to Silence and laid out his sleeping bag, while Hermione carefully lay down on his other side.

Both of their movements seemed a little hurried, but still methodical.

Ron hesitated for a while, but finally came over.

Seeing that everyone had already taken their seats, he spread out his sleeping bag a little further away and lay down in it with an unhappy look on his face.

Seeing that everyone had gone there, Neville also planned to go over, dragging his sleeping bag.

He found an empty seat next to Ron and was about to sit down when he suddenly noticed Professor Snape staring at him with a frown.

That look seemed to be saying, "Are you sure you want to go over there?" Neville felt nervous and his movements became a little stiff.

Snape looked at the increasing number of students from his own Slytherin House, frowning as if he was going to pinch a fly to death.

He said coldly: "You Gryffindor students, can't you have some backbone? You have to squeeze in with Slytherin students?"

Professor Snape's words instantly made the atmosphere in the hall tense, and the Gryffindor students all looked a little embarrassed.

Neville froze in place, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Professor McGonagall heard the sound and hurried over. She looked at Professor Snape seriously and said, "Severus, now is not the time to argue about this. We must ensure the safety of all students."

She turned to Harry and the others and said, "Gryffindor students, follow me back."

Harry, Ron, Hermione and the others stood up reluctantly and began to pack their sleeping bags.

Hermione looked at Seconas, a thoughtful gleam in her eyes, maybe she could find a way to go to Slytherin House.

After settling the students, the professors left the Hogwarts Great Hall.

Seeing the professors leave, the students immediately began chattering about what happened tonight.

"Why do you think Sirius Black broke in?" Ron asked anxiously, scratching his hair in confusion.

Hermione frowned and guessed, "Maybe he wants to find Harry. Didn't he reveal the location of Harry's parents? His purpose in doing this must not be simple."

Harry looked out the window worriedly, praying silently in his heart that Sirius would not hurt anyone else, especially Sigman.

Gryffindor's prefect Percy shouted, "Quiet, I want the lights to be turned off immediately, and you should get into your sleeping bags and go to sleep immediately."

The hall suddenly fell silent, with only ghosts floating around, whispering to the prefects.

The students sprang into action, quickly crawling into their sleeping bags one by one, leaving only the slightly undulating outlines of the bags.

Harry lay nervously in his sleeping bag, his eyes fixed on the entrance to the Great Hall, his wand tightly gripped in his hand, just in case.

Ron tossed and turned in his sleeping bag, unable to seem to find a comfortable position.

He couldn't help but muttered quietly: "I really hope that tonight can pass peacefully. I don't want to spend the night in the auditorium."

Harry replied softly on the other side: "Don't worry, Ron, Hogwarts' defenses are very strong, and Sirius Black can't break in easily."

In the darkness, Percy's figure patrolled the auditorium, and his footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet space.

He walked to each college area, leaning over to check if the students were lying quietly in their sleeping bags.

Theodore lay beside Cygnus, his head turned to the side, his eyes unable to move away from her delicate profile.

Segnus' eyes were closed, and her long, thick eyelashes cast a beautiful arc on her face, as if she had fallen asleep.

Her skin looked even whiter under the candlelight, and you could almost see the blood vessels underneath. One could not help but want to touch it, but was afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

Theodore's breathing became rapid. This was his first time sleeping with Cygnus. Even though they were a group of people sleeping in the auditorium, it still made him nervous.

His heart beat faster and his cheeks felt slightly hot, but luckily the lights in the auditorium were dim and no one noticed anything unusual about him.

He tried to steady his breathing, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Segnus again.

Draco, who was on the right side of Segnus, seemed to feel Theodore's gaze. He glared at Theodore and signaled him to sleep on his own and not look at his sister.

Then Draco turned to Astoria and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you."

Astoria smiled a little in gratitude and closed her eyes tightly.

Theodore was glared at by Draco and felt a little embarrassed. He quickly withdrew his gaze, lay down straight, and tried to relax himself.

Late at night, the candlelight in the auditorium flickered, and the students had all fallen asleep. Except for the occasional sound of turning over, everything was quiet.

Professor Dumbledore walked into the hall quietly, his footsteps were so light that they made almost no sound.

Percy immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Principal, have you found anything?"

Dumbledore shook his head, glanced at the quiet students, and asked softly, "How is it here?"

"Everything is safe," Percy replied, a hint of exhaustion in his tone.

At this time, Professor Snape came over. His expression was gloomy, as if he had something he didn't want Percy to hear.

He approached Dumbledore and whispered, "I suspect someone in the castle has brought Sirius in."

Dumbledore's eyebrows flashed with displeasure, and he warned: "Severus, don't talk nonsense. We can't accuse you without evidence."

Professor Snape was somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Dumbledore turned to Percy and smiled, "I have replaced the portrait at the Gryffindor door with a temporary guard. You can move back tomorrow."

Percy breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face: "That's great, Principal. The students were worried sick."

Dumbledore patted Percy on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Now, you should also pay attention to rest."

Then Dumbledore quietly left again and disappeared into the darkness.

Cygnus didn't really fall asleep, she just closed her eyes and thought about everything.

She was filled with confusion as Sirius broke into Hogwarts but he did not try to contact her.

She couldn't help but wonder, was her good uncle worried that he would be implicated, or did he think that she would betray him?

Signas thought silently in her heart. She knew that if Sirius really thought that she would betray him for profit, then he was right.

In Segnus' world, interests always come first. This is the rule of survival she has learned.

Segnus silently weighed various possibilities in her mind, and everyone could be her bargaining chip.

Of course, if the benefits are right, Theodore, Blaise, Hermione, Pansy, and even her brother Draco are not impossible to be exchanged.

Theodore did not sleep well, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be troubled by something in his dream.

Segnus sneered in his heart. He wondered how he would feel if he knew that he had been put on the exchangeable list when he was by his side.

She stretched out her fingers lightly, pretending to touch his forehead, but withdrew her hand at the last moment. After all, it was not the right time yet.
