[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Harry, Ron and Hermione thought that Norbert's matter would be completely settled by Saturday, and they would no longer need to worry about Hagrid, the Norwegian Ridgeback.But things don't always go as smoothly as expected.

By Thursday, Ron's finger was bitten by Norbert, and on Friday he had to be admitted to the school hospital because his wound had turned green, and he had to rely on the special antidote provided by Snape to heal .Immediately afterwards, Malfoy ran over in the name of borrowing books and threatened Ron with a fierce mockery.And to make matters worse, after Malfoy left, Ron discovered that Charlie's reply was in the book that Malfoy had borrowed.

In other words, Malfoy also knew their plan to send Norbert away - things couldn't have been worse than this.

"It's too late for us to change the time, but it's illegal to transport dragons privately!" Ron sweated anxiously.

"It's a good thing we still have the old robe my dad left behind," said Harry, trying to comfort an anxious Ron. "Think about it, Malfoy doesn't know we have this, Ron, we can definitely send Norbert away successfully."

"Yeah, no one will find us," Hermione said too, but her expression clearly showed that she was still worried about Malfoy.If Malfoy had gone to snitch on the professors, they probably would never have had the chance to sneak out of Gryffindor Tower at all, and they might have missed the precious opportunity to get Hagrid out of Norbert safely.

Thinking of Malfoy's sneaky look, Harry suddenly had an idea, "Since Malfoy knows the time when we transport Noble, maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity. If he goes to the Astronomy Tower to catch us..." He Looking at Hermione and Ron mysteriously, "Maybe Filch can do us a favor again!"

Harry whispered his plan to Hermione and Ron, looking at his two good friends with excitement and nervousness. "What do you guys think of the idea? I know it's a bit too risky..."

"Oh..." Ron looked at Harry with admiration, as if he had known him for the first time. "Harry, I never knew you were so..." He thought for a long time, "Smart."

"Although it's not good to do so," Hermione also showed a mischievous smile, "but I think it's perfect for dealing with Malfoy."

Harry and the others were both nervous and excited until midnight on Saturday.Ron was still in the school hospital and could not participate in this operation. He expressed regret that he could not see Malfoy's end with his own eyes.But Harry and Hermione made sure they would tell him the look on Malfoy's little face.

On Saturday night, Harry and Hermione slipped out of the Gryffindor tower wearing the Invisibility Cloak.The night was cloudy and the weather was particularly bad, but for Harry and the others, it was very suitable for carrying out such an operation.Hagrid, distressed by the imminent separation, put Norbert in a crate and brought him food and toys.

Harry and Hermione knew they should feel sorry for the separation, but when they thought of the hideous green color on Ron's fingers, they couldn't understand Hagrid's feelings.

They moved forward slowly and cautiously with the box sandwiched between the two of them one after the other.Harry carefully controlled the box to float with the Levitation Charm, and Hermione made sure it didn't float outside the cloak.They came a little later than the scheduled time. When they came to the stairs leading to the Astronomy Tower, they really saw the particularly striking pale golden head in the dark.

"Harry, you have to be careful." After confirming that Malfoy really came to catch them, Hermione took the box and temporarily hid in an empty classroom in this corridor.They had already found this hiding place before, and probably only Filch's cat could get in there and find Hermione hiding behind those old desks and chairs.

It's certainly a little risky to have Hermione and the Norwegian Ridgeback waiting here, but they still think it's worth the risk to deal with Malfoy.

Harry nodded nervously, put on the invisibility cloak, and disappeared into the corridor without a sound.He originally planned to find Filch who had just been inspecting the next floor, and wanted to use the sound of his footsteps to lead him to the stairs of the Astronomy Tower, but he didn't expect that he had only walked a short distance when he saw Filch wearing a dressing gown and Professor McGonagall with a net and Professor Bubbaji wearing a thin cape.

"I think at this time, I'm afraid there will be no more students wandering around..." Professor McGonagall said to Professor Bubaji beside her, but before she finished speaking, they heard footsteps around the corner sound.

The two professors looked at each other, and immediately quickened their pace to catch up.They turned the corner and immediately saw Draco Malfoy smiling excitedly.

"Mr. Malfoy?" Professor Bubaji frowned, "Why are you still here at this time? You should go to bed. It's past the curfew time."

The smile on Malfoy's face disappeared quickly when he saw Professor McGonagall and Professor Bubbaji appearing.Nervously, he only greeted Professor McGonagall, turning a blind eye to Professor Bubaji like he was in the robe shop.He tried to justify his current behavior. "Professor McGonagall, please forgive me. I have a reason for doing this. It is Potter and the others who are going to take away a dragon tonight. I saw..."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Professor Bubaji's gentle face.

"Before you lie, I think you should pay attention to your manners, Mr. Malfoy." Professor McGonagall snorted heavily. "Now, go back to your bedroom immediately."

"But Professor, Potter is coming soon, he is bringing a dragon, that's illegal!" Draco Malfoy puffed out his chest, with an expression of disbelief.Of course, he didn't intend to apologize to Professor Bubaji either.

Professor McGonagall grabbed Malfoy's ear, who refused to leave. "Shut up! Twenty points will be deducted from Slytherin! Another ten points will be deducted for your night excursion, and for your lack of manners. I want to see what Professor Snape will do to you!" She angrily and Malfoy tugged and walked downstairs.

"Professor McGonagall!" Professor Bubbaji seemed a little overwhelmed for a moment, then hurriedly followed Professor McGonagall and left.

Under the Invisibility Cloak, Harry and Hermione watched this scene quietly, resisting the urge to laugh out loud.After Harry attracted the professors, he immediately went to Hermione's hiding place and brought her and the box with the dragon out.He believed that Hermione would not want to miss this wonderful scene just now - the plan went even better than he expected.Next, they just need to transport the box to the astronomy tower and hand it over to Charlie's friends.

Finally, they reached the top of the astronomy tower safely and easily, and then got out from the invisibility cloak.

"I really want to sing." Hermione looked excited, and even danced a kind of jig.

Harry had never seen Hermione so lively, but he reminded her, "Don't sing."

Although Hermione didn't sing, they still waited for Charlie's friends and murmured about Malfoy's haughty and panicked look just now.They felt particularly happy when they thought that he was not only going to be put in solitary confinement, but also deducted thirty points from Slytherin.

About 10 minutes later, Charlie's friends descended from the sky on broomsticks.They were lively and easy-going people, and the box containing Noble was tied between the brooms with ropes so that they could safely carry it away from the air.Harry and Hermione thanked them a lot, then watched them fly away with the crate, until they were finally lost.

Harry and Hermione glanced at each other, both seeing relief in each other's eyes.Even when they walked down the stairs, their steps were very light. Norbert had been sent away, and Malfoy had been locked up for himself. They were in a really good mood now.

Snape, who had been quietly staring at them, put away his wand, picked up the invisibility cloak that was forgotten by its master on the floor under the influence of the spell, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.With the invisibility cloak on, he followed the two ecstatic Gryffindors down the stairs with ease, until he saw Filch had spotted them.

"Ha, look what I caught? A student who doesn't sleep!"

"Oh, no..." Looking at Filch's smug face, Harry realized that he had left the Invisibility Cloak on the Astronomy Tower. "We're in trouble."

But even bigger troubles are yet to come... Right behind Harry, he heard that familiar, cold voice...

"Filch, give them to me!"

"No...it's Snape..." Hermione moaned in despair.What could be more unlucky than being caught by Snape during a night out?Hermione was shaking, and Harry felt his mind go blank.They couldn't find any reason to explain why they appeared in the Astronomy Tower at this time.

"I think Professor McGonagall is waiting for you." Snape let out a chuckle, and walked behind Harry and Hermione, put his hands on their shoulders and gently pushed them forward with stiff limbs, Send them to Professor McGonagall's office on the second floor.

Professor Bubaji sat on a chair beside him, looking very disturbed.Malfoy bit his lip in disbelief, and stood in front of Professor McGonagall's desk with his head down.Oddly enough, Neville was still standing beside him.

Professor McGonagall was furious, and when she saw Snape bring Harry and the others in, her anger burned even more.Contrary to Professor McGonagall, Malfoy immediately flashed his obnoxious smile when he saw Harry and Hermione.

"Fortunately, I always thought that a Slytherin student would not lie to his headmaster." Snape's tone seemed smug. "It turns out that Mr. Malfoy is not lying. I am indeed on the way to astronomy The hallway of the tower saw Mr Potter and Miss Granger."

Harry felt that he had never been so angry with Professor Snape as he was now, and he must be planning to protect Malfoy.

"Harry, Hermione..." Neville looked nervous when he saw them. "I just want to remind you that I saw Malfoy go to Professor Snape, and he said you have a dragon..."

Harry looked at Neville, grateful and sad at the same time.He knew that if it wasn't for reminding himself, Neville would definitely not go out for a night out in violation of school rules.

"Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, I can't believe it!" The way Professor McGonagall stood in front of them gave Harry a worse feeling than a hundred Norbers standing in front of them. "I always thought that you all valued Gryffindor's honor very much. I never thought that you would do such stupid, immoral, and detrimental things to Gryffindor's honor just to joke with Mr. Malfoy. Thinking that lying to him that you had a dragon would do him bad luck, and poor Mr. Longbottom believed it too! I guess you might think that kind of trick is very funny? It used to be..." She stopped abruptly, mouthing gasping.

Harry and Hermione hung their heads down, wishing they could get under the ground in shame.

"Fifty points, everyone." Professor McGonagall announced in a grim voice after a moment of silence.

"Professor, please, you can't..." Harry raised his head in panic.He couldn't believe that they had cost Gryffindor 150 points in one fell swoop, while Malfoy had only deducted [-] points, and now their advantage was gone.

"Malfoy, he..."

"That's enough, you should be punished for violating the rules." Professor McGonagall said coldly, "Mr. Malfoy is the same." She looked at Snape, "You have no objection, Professor Snape."

"No student is allowed to violate the school rules by wandering outside late at night." Snape said reluctantly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded a little. "Slytherins, of course."

"Wait a minute, Professor McGonagall! Professor Snape, it's not fair..." It was Draco's turn to protest.He didn't want to deduct another twenty points from Slytherin.

"I think the thirty-point punishment for everyone like just now is quite appropriate." Professor Bubaji interrupted Malfoy, who wanted to defend himself, and took the initiative to stand up and intercede. "Professor McGonagall, I believe they have realized their mistake and will not do this again."

This time, even Malfoy gave Professor Bubbaji a grateful look.

Snape immediately interjected, "I think thirty points off each is a very appropriate penalty."

The successive words of the two professors made Professor McGonagall reluctantly make some concessions.She said in a stern tone: "Okay, then everyone will deduct [-] points, plus the penalty for labor service."

But even so, Harry and the others couldn't be happier. They deducted [-] points from Gryffindor in one night. What will the students say when they see the result the next day?
