A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 109 Crossing the Trap Door Version 1.0

The sun has already set below the horizon, and a few stars are shining in the sky like a blue-black velvet curtain. The silver moon hangs sideways, echoing the light coming from the castle window.

After the little wizards in the study group walked out of the gathering classroom, they separated from each other tacitly, came to the auditorium in twos and threes, and ate dinner naturally.

"Harry, you have to go to dinner and behave naturally. I don't know if people from the Aether Society are paying attention to you, but there is no doubt that if they find that you are unusually absent from the dinner, they may

The plan is ahead of schedule..." Harry mechanically stuffed baked potatoes into his mouth, straightening his back, and kept echoing Hermione's instructions in his heart.

His eyes involuntarily drifted to the teacher's chair. The professors came together tonight and looked no different from usual, but there was no sign of Dumbledore, which made Harry feel empty. Only then did he realize that Dumbledore

The existence of the old man has always given him a lot of confidence. Once the old man is no longer around, he turns out to be so powerless.

Fortunately, he still has a group of friends who are willing to help him, even if they risk their lives...

Thinking of this, Harry felt uneasy and guilty again. They didn't know that the enemy might be Voldemort... He couldn't help but glance at Owen who was slowly cutting a piece of sauce steak. This guy still looked delicate and calm, and after noticing

After looking at him, he smiled nonchalantly.

Harry gritted his teeth and glared at him with puffed-up cheeks. He had also been caught off guard by something that happened before, and he was led astray by Owen. After finally having time to calm down and think carefully, he decided to take Voldemort away.

He said it. Such concealment and deception seemed to him a very shameful thing, and he could not forgive himself.

After making up his mind, his heart that had always been brooding suddenly relaxed a little, but fell lightly into the empty space. He knew that maybe someone would stay away from him because of this, and the harmonious and simple friendship in the past might never be possible again.

exists, but that's better than letting them take risks with you without knowing anything.

Harry stuffed a mouthful of potatoes into his mouth with a ferocious determination on his face, and felt as if he was about to cry. He suddenly felt that the days spent by the members of the study group together were so wonderful, even Draco

The endless provocations against Hermione and Neville seemed to no longer be a headache for him, but had become precious.

Owen wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin gracefully, and glanced at the unpredictable expression on Harry's face with interest. Although he had never learned Legilimency, he could guess what this guy was struggling with, this

The young wizard couldn't hide anything in his heart.

After the little wizard passing by had gone away, a group of five people came to the door at the end of the restricted corridor. Hermione took a deep breath, pulled out her wand and pointed at the door lock and said: "Open the Alaho hole."

"I must be crazy to agree to such an outrageous thing..." Draco kept groping in his pocket, carefully placing all the alchemy items on his body at hand, and then silently put

Hermione pushed aside and stood between Harry and Owen.

"In fact, it doesn't matter who the enemy is. As long as we secretly get the Philosopher's Stone, keep each other's secrets, and keep it secret, the people in the Aether Society will not know who has ruined their affairs." Owen said slowly.

Draco felt that he was so clever. Thinking of Harry's surprised and moved eyes at that time, as well as other people's admiration, he felt very happy.

Cold scene.

Owen is not afraid, so why should he be? Draco thinks he knows very well what kind of person Owen is. This guy always looks careless, but in fact he never does anything he is not sure about, nor does he risk his own safety.

Go take risks. Since Owen said he wants to join, it means there is not much danger.

Neville looked around uneasily and moved his toes slightly, looking nervous. Hermione pursed her lips tightly, looking like a young version of Professor McGonagall.

"That's it." Harry suddenly wanted to give up. He decided to give up thinking and felt like never before how happy it was to be a simple fool.

"But you might die." Owen raised his eyebrows, "Do you really want to die?" He narrowed his eyes, and then said in a playful tone: "Or you can think of it this way, when I heard this,

After getting involved with the Dark Lord, I felt very conflicted. I wanted to help you but I was also scared...so I chose to drag a few more people into the water."

Using Voldemort as an enemy to test friendship seems to Owen to be an interesting and cruel thing.

Therefore, only when it is determined that Owen and his team's actions have failed can they seek help from the professors.

"What are you whispering secretly?" Others caught up from behind, and Hermione looked at the two of them suspiciously. The keen little witch noticed that these two guys seemed to be hiding something from them.

A group of people gathered in a deserted corridor, and Owen said cheerfully: "Then, let's follow the plan." After saying that, he took Harry away who was about to speak.

However, it would be such a heavy and painful thing to abandon a friend who has helped you a lot because of fear. Those who retreat will inevitably fall into self-blame and regret in the future, and their conscience and sensibility will always be affected.

It reminds them how despicable and shameful it is to retreat. If they cannot get out, this may be the beginning of their degeneration.

There is no doubt that some people may impulsively continue to help Harry, while others may wisely protect themselves and choose to withdraw from this adventure.

As she spoke, she unconsciously stroked her long, fluffy brown hair, and then clasped her hands together. It was obvious that her heart was filled with tension and fear.

"Oh, I have good intentions for a harmonious relationship between classmates and pure friendship." Owen muttered in his heart, silently breaking off a piece of chocolate and putting it into his mouth. Although he just hates trouble.

"No, my father is a member of the board of directors of Hogwarts. He can handle such trivial matters easily." Draco raised his eyebrows, then looked at Hermione and Neville maliciously, "Even if it must be done

If we fire one or two people, it won’t be our turn..."

After finishing their meal, the students left the auditorium in twos and threes, until almost everyone left. Several people in the study group looked at each other from afar, then each stood up and headed towards the corridor outside.

The study group will fall apart because of this, and those who shrink will become unstable factors and a time bomb in the future. Because only a group of people will take an adventure together and each other will keep secrets, but when a few insiders become outsiders

, things will only get more troublesome.

"They don't have to do anything, this matter has nothing to do with them!" Harry said stubbornly.

Friendship is a tough and fragile thing. It can only be indestructible after experiencing hardships and tests together. However, the friendship between the members of the study group at this stage is obviously not that pure.

"If we are caught, we will definitely be expelled." Harry groaned in his heart, feeling that he was leading his friends to a dead end.

Harry stood outside the door and recited "Silent" to prevent the sound of the flute from attracting passers-by. Then he invited everyone to walk in the door without forgetting to close the door.

"Owen, let me go! I have to tell the truth!" Harry struggled.

Draco stared blankly at the huge monster in front of him, hissed and breathed, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "You didn't say this dog was big enough to bite our heads off!" Is it too late for him to regret it now?

The sleeping three-headed dog seemed to be disturbed by his voice, and his eyelids suddenly raised, frightening him into silence, and he hid behind Owen conscientiously.

There is no way, Voldemort's reputation is too evil, especially the young wizards of this generation who have grown up listening to each other's horrific legends. Even the few young wizards from pure-blood families in Slytherin only know this name.

There will be more fear and awe.

When the time comes, Hermione and Neville will most likely continue to help Harry. After all, one of them is from a Muggle family and does not have a deep understanding of Voldemort's fear, and the other has a grudge against the other party. But a few people from Slytherin will

How to choose? It must be an inner torture. On one side are sincere friends, on the other side are deep fears, emotional impulses and rational denial intertwined, it will be a painful choice.

"Very good." Owen looked at the deep corridor from a distance, listened to the low roar faintly coming from behind the door at the end of the corridor, and said in a gorgeous and passionate tone, "Then, get ready for a wonderful event

Have you taken any risks?"

During the division of labor, Draco wanted to drag Harry and stay outside to wait. It wasn't until Hermione and Neville resolutely stated that they would go with Harry to get the Sorcerer's Stone that Draco felt a strong sense of crisis and felt that he

His position has been challenged like never before. When he heard Owen say that he would also join, Draco immediately raised his hand.

"Sometimes, there's nothing wrong with a white lie, Harry." Owen looked at him with dark eyes, and his dark eyes made Harry panic for no reason.

Harry's face was expressionless. Yes, you are right, I am so pretentious.

"Let's go over our plan one last time." On the way to the restricted corridor on the fourth floor, Owen said unhurriedly, "We'll go in and get the magic stone. Daphne, you and the others will wait outside the corridor for the time being.

An hour and a half."

"Whether we can get the magic stone or not, we will try to get back within an hour and a half. If we fail to come out, there is a high probability that we are in danger or trapped. At this time, you need to find the professor.

Rescued."

"This way..." Harry pondered with a tangled face, seemingly convinced. After a long time, he suddenly looked at Owen with some resentment and said: "After all, if you don't tell other people about this matter, now

There won’t be so many things to worry about…”

"Huh." Hermione hugged her shoulders and snorted, but it was rare that she didn't sneer back at Draco.

Hagrid actually knew that Voldemort was coveting the Philosopher's Stone and accidentally let it slip. This incident was actually outside of Owen's plan. It was enough for an ethereal society that had never been heard of to be the imaginary enemy of the young wizards. If

If the opponent is Voldemort, it will be too heavy for them.

The door lock clicked open, and the door slid open with a creak. A low roar came from inside the door, and three huge dog heads turned around with grinning teeth, opening their bloody mouths and letting out a deafening roar.

"You must be careful..." Daphne held Pansy's hand and said softly. Pansy looked at them with misty eyes, with an expression as if she was about to say goodbye.

Daphne and Blaise looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Daphne glanced at him with a worried expression, and then nodded firmly. She knew that they should not rush to seek help from professors, because they were not sure which professor could be trusted and who would believe and help them. Once they found the wrong person, Owen

Their actions will fall short. Being caught and punished is a trivial matter, and their lives may be in danger.

Everyone: "..."

Harry opened his mouth and looked at him speechlessly. He didn't think so much at all, he just wanted others to be safe.

"Look, they all know that this is about your life. If you tell them that this matter is related to the Dark Lord..." Owen said in a low voice, "If they choose to help you, they will also be in a difficult situation in the future.

In the long-term anxiety, tortured by fear day and night..."

"Harry is being pretentious. He doesn't think he should take you on an adventure." Owen said with a smile.

Owen actually doesn't mind having a few more people accompany him as he falls into the darkness, and is happy to watch an interesting drama. But the problem is that in that case, things will become much more complicated. The changes in people's hearts are often more unpredictable, as long as

There will be many twists and turns.

"Of course, if during this period you find someone entering the door of the restricted corridor after us, then immediately go to the professor for help." Owen added, "That must be someone from the Aether Society, and we most likely won't be able to deal with it.

he."

"This is our choice, Harry." Hermione stared at Harry's expressionless face, feeling even weirder. She shook her head and stopped delving into it, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's almost time, we

It’s time to pass.”

"Tsk, it's a pity that it's too late to consider such a heavy topic now." The corners of Owen's mouth raised slightly.

"It would be better if Granger could make a fool of himself..." His gray eyes rolled.

Harry was moved and speechless as he looked at Owen, laughing as if he had remembered something funny. He couldn't even tell whether Owen's words were true or just trying to fool him. He sighed deeply.

I took a breath and felt so tired.

"Tsk tsk, what do you mean, let them stand by and watch knowing that you might die, making them ungrateful and betraying their friendship?" Owen said lazily, "Yes, you may feel better this way, but they will only be tortured day and night.

Inner torture, do you want this?"

"Why don't you let me accompany you?" Owen enthusiastically took out a recorder and played the melody of Hedwig Variations. In the melodious and mysterious music, the big dog's eyelids drooped almost instantly, and his body began to

Shaky.

The big dog swayed to the soothing melody and soon lay on the floor, purring deeply.

"This way!" Hermione opened the trap door next to the big dog and waved to everyone.

"I'll go down first!" Harry swallowed and jumped in first, followed by Hermione and Neville. Draco looked at Owen slowly, and then at the sleeping big dog.

He closed his feet, stamped his feet, and plunged into the hole.

Owen raised his eyebrows, took back his recorder with a smile, and jumped into the deep, dark hole.
