"Humph! Stupid!"

With a snort, I turned around and saw a figure with platinum-blonde hair.He was turning his head sideways and whispering to the two mountain-like boys next to him in a voice afraid that others could not hear clearly, "Gryffindor is a bunch of blind idiots!"

Ron shrugged and made a throwing gesture behind Malfoy's back with half a piece of beef and cowpea pie in his hand.I suppressed his hand before clearing my throat and said, "We don't need to be like Slytherin cowards who only dare to speak ill of others behind their backs."

On the way back to the dormitory, when I was still listening to Harry and Ron spitting and discussing the night's duel with my head turned sideways, I only felt a force rushing straight to my chest.

Then his hand sank, a furry guy——Anthony.He raised his head, tilted his head slightly and blinked, his moist golden almond eyes looked innocent and pitiful.

A yellow cat was hovering restlessly at my feet, she meowed, and she looked very cute.

"Oh! Mrs. Norris!" Ron frowned and growled, as if he had seen the cat's owner, the vicious caretaker Filch.

"Go away!" He waved his hand and growled at her with his head down.

"What are you doing? Cruelty to animals is against the law!"

After pushing Ron away, I handed Anthony to Harry next to me, took out a piece of dried fish that I had prepared for Anthony in my pocket, bent down and smiled at Mrs. Norris, "Little cat, you Why do you keep chasing Anthony? Did he bully you?"

I don't think Mrs. Norris didn't understand what I said, she let out a low cry and took a step back, staring straight at me with a pair of dark golden eyes, motionless.

I smiled, and stretched out my hand to move towards her.Mrs. Norris stared for a long time before reaching out her claws to poke the dried fish tentatively. After a while, she poked her head over and bit it carefully. I let her take a step back with the dried fish in her mouth, and then quickly ran away.

"Oh! My God! Helen, your Anthony is going crazy!" Harry growled in panic from behind.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Anthony screaming in a low voice, trying to jump out of Harry's arms, and even stretched out his claws to grab Harry's face.

When Anthony took it over, he turned his head and bit the fingertip I had just taken the dried fish with. Although the skin was not broken, it still hurt.

"Anthony, this bad cat! What are you doing?!" I glared at him and shook my fist at him threateningly.After Anthony let out a strange cry, he retracted into my arms again with a sullen expression.

"Is it male or female?" Harry patted his robes, which were crumpled by Anthony.

"Public." I replied.

"I think I know why Mrs. Norris followed him." Ron glanced at Anthony, his bushy eyebrows shrugged, and he raised his index finger with a confident look.

Harry and I glanced at each other, and then cast puzzled eyes at Ron, only to see him cough lightly before speaking again.

"Mrs. Norris's, and Anthony's."

Ron, my Anthony is underage...

……

That night, I lay on the sofa and flipped through that poor potions textbook under the dim light.Just when I was about to fall asleep with the book in my arms, the hands of the clock finally pointed to eleven o'clock. I stretched excitedly and tossed the book in my hand casually, turned off the light and stood up.

Castles, duels, this seems to be a contest between knights in the Middle Ages, full of fascinating passion.

The two men who were riding on their horses and wearing armor were facing each other silently. It seemed that only the heavy breathing of the horses and the sound of the horseshoes scratching the sand were left in the air.

With a neigh, the two epees clashed heavily, and sparks flew everywhere.

The woman in the whalebone corset covered her face and screamed.

……

As if I stepped on Anthony's tail, a shrill meow pulled me away from my crazy imagination.In the dark, I groped my way to the door, but just as I put my hand on the handle, the light came on.

"Are you crazy?!" Hermione sat on the bed, staring at me blankly, "This is against school rules!"

I glanced at her, and even though I thought such behavior was crazy, I couldn't help but retort, "The school rules say: 'Students in each college are not allowed to go out after going to bed.' Obviously, I haven't fallen asleep yet. So , this is not a violation."

"You are sophistry!" She pointed at me, her face full of anger.I spread my hands and opened the door to go out.

My father once said that all we have to study law is to better exploit the legal loopholes.This is a game of logic and IQ. When you master the rules, you will discover the beauty of the Codex.When my father said so, he raised his eyes habitually, and the incandescent light hit his lens, flashing a bright white light.

"What are you doing here?" Ron frowned at Hermione and growled, "Go back to your bed!"

"Be careful I'll tell your brother!" Hermione pushed back aggressively, she glanced at Harry and said, "I can't believe you would do such a thing!" There was disgust in her eyes, as if we were planning to go Do something that violates social harmony.

"Okay, okay!" I tiptoed to the portrait where the Fat Lady lived, pulled Harry who was closest to me, and whispered, "It's too late! Let's go!"

But Hermione obviously didn't intend to just let us go.

"Hey! Do you know? Doing so will affect the honor of the college! Points will be deducted! That's the extra point I finally got from Professor McGonagall! Don't you think" She followed us through the passage .

Points will be deducted.

This again made me hesitate.But this kind of fluke pleasure mixed with reason makes people feel more eager to try.

"Forget it! I'm too lazy to talk to you! Just watch! You will be driven home sooner or later!" Hermione growled angrily on her hips, and after a while she screamed again, "The Fat Lady is gone!"

"It's all your fault! If we are caught, I will definitely say that I persuaded you, and you will testify to me!"

Hermione babbled like crazy all the way, it felt like there were more than 1000 flies around you.

"I said, can you... ah~!"

Just as I was about to yell at her, God stopped me just in time.I turned around and felt that I was stepping on something thick and soft, and I didn't have time to take back the strength on my feet. I stumbled so firmly that I lost my center of gravity. With a scream, I jumped forward with my limbs spread out.

"Watch out!"

Harry was about a step away from me, and he reached out and grabbed me just in time.But the strong recoil caused them to fall in his direction again. Fortunately, I fell on him this time, and fortunately, I reached out to protect the back of his head.

"Are you okay!" Harry reached out to straighten his glasses that were crooked on the bridge of his nose, and I shook my head and grinned and rubbed the back of my poor hand.

Ron moved closer and kicked the suspicious object that tripped me.

"Well... thank God, you found me!" A voice just woke up - Neville.

Then, our night tour group added another member.

"This is so exciting!" I whispered to Harry beside me.

Like clearing mines, we explored the darkness ahead bit by bit, and when we finally reached the duel location—the prize showroom on the third floor, Malfoy was nowhere to be seen.

"Maybe... we were let go?" After waiting for 10 minutes, I frowned displeasedly.

"Maybe he's afraid to come because he's scared," Ron said.

Just then, we heard a voice, not Malfoy, but Filch.He's trying to get to us through Mrs. Norris!

go!

Before I had time to think about it, I stretched out my hand and grabbed Neville and Hermione by my side and ran away.

The sense of imminent crisis can always stimulate the greatest potential of human beings.I even feel that all the miles I've run in my life can't compare to this escape.When we finally hid in an unremarkable abandoned classroom, all five of us were out of breath, and our legs were trembling with weakness.

"I - said -" Hermione lifted her chin, about to say something.

"Shut up!" I replied fiercely to her.

"Shut up!?" Hermione's voice broke out immediately, and the preaching tone made her no longer breathless, "I told you not to come! Obviously, Malfoy deliberately provoked you and then went to find Filch tipped it off! Only you fools would believe it!"

It was as if someone had hit the nail on the head, and I was so angry that I wanted to retaliate, but was stopped by Ron, "Okay! Stop arguing! Our top priority now is to go back to Gryffindor Tower!"

At this moment, a laughing voice sounded without warning, and we looked back tacitly—it was Peeves!

The few of us looked at each other and knew we were in big trouble.

"Hey! Peeves!" I smiled and waved to him.

"Hehe~" After he shrieked hysterically, he suddenly approached me and whispered, "Let me guess what five first-year freshmen are doing here in the middle of the night?"

I smiled and moved closer to him until the ghost's cold breath was already felt on my skin.I blinked at him mysteriously, "If you want to know, I'll tell you. We're waiting for—Bloodman Baron."

"Bloody Barrow!" Peeves backed away in horror, his funny ink-stained face contorted abnormally, but after a moment he laughed shrillly again, "What do you little devils want him for, you don't want to lie to me!"

"I'm not lying to you!" I said seriously, and then spread my hands, "I once asked him some questions about vampires. He saw that I was eager to learn, so he asked me to discuss it with a few friends who were interested in this topic. At this point, I paused, then shrugged and said, "If you want, you can stay and wait with us! You know that the bloody Barrow is not very hospitable, but you can still call him his Old friend, he will be willing to entertain you!"

"You won't lie to me?" Peeves backed away in panic.

"What did you lie to you for?" I frowned pretending to be contemplative and asked back.

After seeing the horror on Peeves' funny face, I lowered my head and pretended to look at Kong Kong's wrist, "Ah! The appointed time is coming!"

“啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！”一时间，走廊里满是皮皮鬼的惨叫，由近及远慢慢消失。

"It's really you!" Ron slapped me on the shoulder, smiling brightly.

"Wait..." Neville suddenly said softly. He pulled Harry's sleeve and said in horror, "Look... what is that..."

Looking in the direction he pointed, under the silver moonlight, a yellow-gray cat sat quietly at the door of the classroom - Mrs. Norris...
