Hogwarts lazy snake

"What are you two doing here so late?"

Although Horn's voice was very low, it sounded like thunder to Harry Ron's ears, and frightened Harry Ron so much that he trembled all over.

Harry's heart beat violently several times and almost jumped out of his throat. Ron's face turned pale and his eyes widened in horror.

When the two turned around and found that it was Horn, they were relieved.

Harry patted his chest and panted: "It turned out to be Horn, you scared us to death."

"Yeah, Horn's sudden noise in the middle of the night almost scared us into going to see Merlin." Ron also complained, feeling sweat on his face.

"Who told you two to learn 7 levels of the Disillusionment Spell, 6 of which were diluted with water?"

Horn expressed helplessness. He didn't want to find out. After all, it was your looming body that appeared before his eyes.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and nodded. Even though they complained, they knew in their hearts that it was a blessing to meet Horn at this time.

"By the way, Horn, since you are here, it will be much easier. We found Snape. I don't know what happened, but he was walking towards this side stealthily. We were following him, and then he disappeared." Harry immediately asked Horn for help.

"Yes, yes, we saw a man in a black robe sneaking around tonight. It must be Snape." Ron also told what they saw.

"No, are you just like that? Didn't I say last time that Professor Snape was not the person you imagined?" Horn was speechless when he saw that the two were still biting Snape. After all, he should have said this in Hagrid's hut before.

"And you should use a respectful title, professor. It's very rude of you to do that." And pointed out the other party's unreasonable behavior.

"Okay, Horn, we were wrong. Don't say anything. We are not sure if it was Snape. Anyway, we came out of the library today." Ron paused here, showing his helpless expression, and continued: "Oh, yes, we came out of the library tonight, and I felt that Hermione and that Malfoy were crazy."

"Yeah, but Ron, don't talk about that for now." Harry called out to Ron and said he was about to gossip about his family, so he immediately stopped him and got back to the point: "We saw Sn... a man in black robes sneaking around in the corridor when we left the library tonight."

Harry wanted to continue saying Snape's name, but when he saw Horn looking straight at him, he immediately changed his words.

Horn frowned and was about to say something, when suddenly, footsteps were heard not far away, accompanied by Filch's unique cough. The three of them suddenly became a little nervous.

Horn immediately looked towards a dark corner, pulled Ron and Harry into it, and cast a Disillusionment Charm on the three of them.

Then they watched as Filch, dressed in a patched khaki robe, walked slowly past the three of them, holding a kerosene lamp, muttering in a strange hoarse voice:

"You damned little wizards, why are you not sleeping at night? I will catch you and punish you."

"I see you, come out."

Hornsan was not sure if the other party was trying to blow him up or if he really saw it, but he just said that he was hiding in a dark corner. He didn't dare to breathe and huddled there tightly.

However, at this moment, a portrait on the wall suddenly murmured in dissatisfaction: "Who is making so much noise? Can't we sleep at night? Turn off the glaring light."

The three of them suddenly felt nervous and dared not move, for fear that the portrait would tell.

Filch did not turn off the oil lamp when he heard it. Instead, he raised the oil lamp to the portrait and asked, "Did you see any little wizard passing by here?"

Horn could not see the facial expressions of the portrait on the wall, but he could hear the voice coming from the portrait: "What little wizard? I didn't see it! I didn't see it! Take the light away quickly! It really disturbs my sleep."

"Humph~"

Filch didn't get what he wanted, so he snorted and continued walking forward with the kerosene lamp.

At this moment, a ghost slowly floated out from the wall behind Horn and the other two. He looked at the three people, then looked in the direction of Felsi, then shook his head and continued to float away.

However, Horn and the other two were frightened by the ghost. Ron collapsed on the ground in agony, and even Harry held onto the wall to cover his pounding heart.

Horn was also startled by this sudden scene.

Because of the noise made by the crowd, Filch, who had not walked far to begin with, immediately turned around and raised the kerosene lamp towards the three people.

As soon as Horn helped Ron up, he saw the light of the oil lamp moving towards him.

"run!"

Horn pointed at the person who was coming and shouted in a very low voice, then ran towards the aisle in the opposite direction. Harry and Ron also started running at the same time.

Filch's eyes lit up, and he looked at the figures and shouted, "Hey, stop right there!"

Then he chased after him, and the sound of his footsteps echoed in the corridor, showing how intense the chase was.

Among the three people running in the corridor, Harry suddenly saw a half-open door in front of him, and hurriedly shouted to Ron and Horn: "Over there!"

The three of them rushed into the room, quickly closed the door, hid in the room and listened to the noise outside.

When they heard Filch's footsteps getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door, Horn and the other two in the room drew their wands and pointed them at the door.

At this moment, if the three of them didn't know how to take advantage of the situation, they would probably have taken advantage of the situation the moment the other party was about to break in.

Filch pushed the door and found it was locked. He kicked it angrily and continued walking forward to look for them.

When Filch kicked the door, Horn almost took out the silver Colt and pointed it at the door.

Hearing the noise and footsteps outside the door had disappeared, Harry, Ron, and Horn breathed a sigh of relief in the room. They waited quietly inside for a while, making sure that Filch had gone far away. Then they quietly opened a small crack, observed the movement outside, and walked out only after confirming that it was safe.

"Phew, luckily I escaped, otherwise I would have been put in detention or punished." Harry complained with lingering fear.

"Yeah, I really escaped a disaster." Ron agreed, but he suddenly seemed to recall Horn's action of reaching into his clothes in the room, and then said to Horn beside him: "Horn, you were in the room just now, you didn't want to take out that Colt, did you?!"

Hearing Ron's words, Harry immediately looked at Horn. He really didn't expect Horn to be so bold.

Just when they thought they were safe for the time being, a dark shadow flashed past them.

Harry and Ronxia almost screamed out loud. Horn also became nervous instantly and subconsciously put his hand into his clothes again.

meow~

There was a small meow and they looked up and saw it was Mrs Norris, Filch's cat.

Harry was instantly filled with panic. "This is bad. If Mrs. Norris finds us, Filch will definitely catch up with us soon. What should we do?"

Harry said this and looked at Ron and Horn nervously.

"It's over, it's over. How could I be so unlucky? I just escaped Filch's capture, and now I meet Filch's cat. Filch must be nearby."

"I don't know what kind of punishment I'll get if I'm caught by Filch. I might even lose a lot of house points, and then Hermione will start nagging me again."

Ron's mind was in a mess. He was already a little annoyed as to why he was curious about that sneaky figure.

At the same time, he was desperately thinking of a way to escape. His eyes scanned the surroundings frantically, hoping to find a hiding place.

However, when Horn saw that it was Mrs. Loris, a hint of surprise flashed through his heart.

If he met Filch, whether he could handle it himself would be another matter. As for this kitten? That was not a matter of jerky.

"Horn, no, no, Harry, come here and stop Horn."

As Ron was patrolling for a hiding place, he saw Horn's hand reaching into his clothes again, and then he remembered the day when the big tree where he was doing experiments at the edge of the Forbidden Forest was bombed.

So he quickly pulled Horn to Harry for help.

Harry also saw Horn's hand reaching into his clothes, so he thought of that scene, and together with Ron, they stopped Horn on the left and right.

"Horn, yes, Ron is right. It's just a cat. There's no need to use Colt!" He nervously tried to stop Horn and persuaded him in a trembling voice.

"What are you two doing? What are you talking about? It's okay, I know Loris, don't be afraid."

Horn was speechless when he saw the two people holding his hands on both sides. How could he use Colt to deal with Loris?

"Really, Horn, please don't lie to us!"

"Yes, I believe you."

Harry and Ron half-believed and half-doubted Horn's words and let go of his arms.

At this time, Mrs. Loris slowly walked in front of Horn, stared at Horn with her amber-red eyes, then walked to Horn's trouser legs and touched Horn's feet with her head.

Horn also squatted down, took out a small piece of dried meat from his small pocket and handed it to Mrs. Loris, then stroked Mrs. Loris's head with his hand.

"Eat, and remember you haven't seen us."

meow~

After finishing her jerky, Mrs. Norris called out to Horn, then turned around gracefully as if she hadn't seen him and walked away with light steps.

Harry and Ron on the side widened their eyes, unable to believe what they had just seen.

They looked at Horn in surprise as if asking what was going on.

Horn smiled and said softly: "It seems that we are lucky. Let's go back to sleep."

After this scene, Horn no longer hung out with Harry and Ron and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Horn, what's going on? Why did Mrs. Norris call Filch? And how do you know Mrs. Norris?" Harry, who had caught up with her, couldn't help but ask curiously about what had just happened.

Hearing Horn's question, Horn just shrugged and said, "We've encountered him a few times. Maybe he thinks we're not causing any more trouble. But we'd better leave quickly, otherwise Filch will chase us again."

Ron wasn't curious about why. He just knew that he had escaped again. He also agreed with what Horn said: "Yes, yes, let's go quickly. It's late now. Let's go back to bed first."

The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the spiral staircase while Filch hadn't noticed them yet.
