A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

As night falls, the faint moonlight shines through the clouds and onto the walls of the castle.

The students went back to their dormitories to sleep one by one. There were fewer and fewer people in the common room, clearing a large space.

Three sneaky figures walked down the stairs quietly, one of them holding a black cloak in his hand.

Gua! Gua! Gua!

Just as the three were about to move on, a toad appeared in front of them.

"Leifu!" Harry was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Neville's pet appeared here.

"Ignore it, we have to act quickly." Ron said.

"What to do?" Neville stood up from behind the sofa and looked at Harry and the three of them with ugly expressions.

He just couldn't sleep, so he wanted to come over and sit for a while, and take Leif out for some air.

But he never expected that he would actually block three Gryffindors who were about to leave the dormitory. His sense of responsibility was instantly over the top, and it was absolutely impossible to turn a blind eye.

"You're sneaking out again, aren't you?"

"Neville, listen, I, we..." Harry said hesitantly, but with a guilty conscience, he was obviously not ready to explain.

"No, you are not allowed to go." Neville blocked the door with his strong physique, "You have already been deducted 150 points. If you are caught staying out at night, Gryffindor will be even more Bad luck."

"Neville, we don't have time to explain to you now, so get out of the way." Ron said impatiently, "There are three of us, you can't stop us."

"I'm ready." Neville said resolutely, clenching his fists and assuming a fighting posture.

It was just the pajamas he was wearing and the panic expression on his face that made his action seem nondescript and a bit funny.

"Neville, I've wronged you." Hermione pulled out her wand, "Everyone is petrified!"

Neville's face turned blue in an instant, his body stiffened quickly, his arms clung to the left and right sides of his body, and he fell to the floor with a plop.

Gulu!

Before Harry could react, Ron gulped, "You're a bit scary sometimes, you know?"

Hermione looked at Neville who was motionless, her face full of apology, "I'm sorry, but this is really for your own good."

"Let's go!" Harry said.

The three of them walked around Neville who was lying on the ground and put on the invisibility cloak when they exited the portrait door.

There were a lot of them, so they had to make sure that the invisibility cloak covered all three of them. The speed of walking was much slower than normal walking.

...

Meanwhile, Aaron in the Slytherin common room was almost ready.

A music box, a Christmas gift from one of his relatives, has a high-quality sound that can definitely calm the three-headed dog.

The contents of the two letters written in advance were almost identical.

Once it was confirmed that Voldemort was taking action, Aaron would not hesitate to ask Abe to send the letter.

As a life-saving magical prop, he pinned a very inconspicuous brooch inside his clothes. This thing can withstand the full blow of the Grand Mage, including the Death Curse.

Finally there were the two wands, and Aaron examined them as carefully as he would a quill before an exam.

"call!

Sure enough, I was still too nervous. If I had known, I would have kept half of the sedative today. Aaron chuckled, then patted Abe's faucet and stuffed the two letters into its pocket, "The green envelope is for Professor Snape, and the red envelope is for Professor McGonagall."

Your task is very heavy, and it may even be related to my life, your master, do you understand? "

Abe nodded solemnly, his face rarely serious.

Seeing this, Aaron felt a little relieved, and then took out the invisibility potion.

He drank a quarter of it himself and fed another quarter to the holy dragon.

This would allow them to remain invisible for nearly an hour, giving them enough time to rush to the corridor on the fourth floor and wait.

Even if the time limit expires, the remaining half of the potion can give them enough buffer time.

After turning invisible, he took out another bottle of blessing elixir, took a sip himself, and fed Abe a painful sip.

“This should be considered foolproof.

Set off! "

...

Ten minutes later, Aaron arrived at the corridor on the fourth floor ahead of Harry and the others.

One person and one dragon adjusted their breathing in tacit understanding and cautiously approached the wooden door.

They had no choice but to be vigilant at this time. What if Voldemort was playing music for Mao Mao? If they were discovered, it would be all for nothing.

Voldemort didn't care who was invisible at this time, and he might just cast a death curse on them both.

The lock on the wooden door is still in good condition, just like it was at noon.

But Aaron was more careful. If the door lock was broken, it meant that Voldemort had entered the trap door.

But the door lock is now good, and Aaron doesn't know whether he's coming or not.

You can only make a preliminary judgment by approaching the wooden door and listening carefully to see if there is any music inside.

But the soundproofing function of this room is still very good. After Aaron worked hard for a while, he only heard the sound of Maomao snoring.

Just when he was hesitating whether to go in and take a look, a faint red light suddenly flashed on the door lock, and the door was opened.

Aaron's heart skipped a beat, and he covered his mouth with one hand and Abe's mouth with the other, for fear of making any sound.

After the door closed, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"It's time to wait." Aaron put Abe down and pointed outside the corridor. The meaning was obvious: I will stay here for now, and you can report the news.

Abe did not act immediately. After hesitating for a while, he stretched out his dragon claw towards the wooden door, and then quickly shook his head.

"Is there a situation?"

Aaron frowned and continued to put his ear to the door.

After a while, there were a few black lines on his forehead.

Because in addition to the purring of the three-headed dog, he also heard the voices of several familiar people.

Without any time to think, he opened the door and walked in. As expected, he saw three Gryffindors.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all here, and no one was left behind.

"Why did the door open?" Ron asked with some confusion.

"Maybe it's not turned off!" Harry didn't pay attention and just glanced at the automatically playing harp. "Snape has already been here and he cast a spell on the harp."

"It may not be Professor Snape who is here." Aaron interjected speechlessly, "He should be sleeping in the dormitory at this time."

"Who? Who's there?"

The three of them panicked instantly, took out their wands and pointed them in the direction of the sound.

"Uh... don't be so nervous." Aaron exited the invisible state, "We will be in trouble if Maomao wakes up."

"Aaron, why are you here too?" Harry asked excitedly, "Do you also have an invisibility cloak?"

"I don't have that kind of prop, but I do have a bottle of invisibility potion." Aaron spread his hands, then glanced at the harp that was still playing, and his pupils shrank slightly.

Since Harry and the others didn't make this harp, it had to be Voldemort.

After understanding this, he immediately winked at the holy dragon who was still squatting at the door.

After receiving the signal, Abe quickly rushed out of the corridor.

"What are you doing here?"

"Get the Philosopher's Stone before the mysterious man." Hermione explained, and then she became a little frustrated, "But we seem to be a step too late."

Aaron couldn't help but slap his forehead, "I think I said I was sure to stop the mysterious man!

Do you just not believe me? "

"It's not that we don't believe you, it's just that we can't put the burden on you alone." Harry said seriously.

"Haha! Don't get me wrong.

Let me state in advance that I have my own purpose in stopping him, but it is not for you. "

"never mind.

Since you are here too, it means that you are on a united front with us.

Although I arrived a step late, there are still many mechanisms under the trap door!

The mysterious man definitely hasn't succeeded yet, we still have a chance. Harry said and walked up to Fluffy. "We have to move its paws away. The trap door is down there." "

"Why move?" Aaron said impatiently, "What you have to do now is to go back to sleep. If you stay, you will only get in the way, and... it's very dangerous."

"What about you?" Hermione asked meaningfully, "You should be planning to stay, right?"

"That's not important. What's important is that I'm sure to escape unscathed."

Harry shook his head, "Even if you talk about it, we won't let you face it alone.

Besides, if you fail, we will help you and take care of you. "

Aaron: ...

Why didn't you realize that this kid was a stickler before?

"Ron, come here and help me!"

"good!"

The two struggled to move a huge dog paw away, revealing the trap door below.

After opening, it was an extremely dark passage.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! It looks scary." Driven by curiosity, Aaron took a closer look.

"I'll be the first to go in. Wait for me to give you the signal before you come back down." Harry volunteered. "If something happens, just escape on your own."
