Hogwarts starts with stealing power

After sending Lin Xia and Draco back to Hufflepuff, the group of them walked back to Gryffindor's tower.

Worried that Sir Cadogan would reveal their whereabouts late at night, they still did not come out of the invisibility cloak even when they came to the portrait.

An order sounded out of thin air in the corridor.

"Dragon blood!"

Sir Cadogan said drowsily: "It's so late, why is there a little wizard coming back from outside? Is it the patrolling group?"

He opened the door dutifully and glanced outside, hoping to intercept the wizard coming in and have a fight with him.

Speaking of which, he hasn't interacted with the outstanding students in Gryffindor yet.

The outstanding student always leaves early and comes back late. He is singled out for the times when he is mentally weak, so that he has no intention of checking carefully. It is really disgusting!

Sir Cadogan suddenly made two "pops" and reached out to slap himself in the face, trying to wake up more.

I must find an opportunity today to learn a thing or two from the so-called outstanding students!

It's just that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

The portrait opened the door for a long time, and Sir Cadogan also returned from being unconscious to being awake. He stared blankly at the empty corridor, wondering.

"It's strange. I clearly heard the little wizard calling me and saying the password, but why can't I see anyone?

Something like this happened before. Could it be a prank by Peeves? They know the password to the common room and are here to tease me? "

Sir Cadogan thought to himself: "If this happens again next time and I don't see someone, I will never open the common room door!"

What Jazz didn't know was that after he opened the door, people wearing invisibility cloaks had already rushed into the Gryffindor common room.

A large swath of red shone in front of everyone's eyes like a bright red flame, and the bright yellow candle turned into the only twinkling star at night, bringing a ray of light indoors.

Against the backdrop of large expanses of red, the interior looks warm and bright, yet solemn.

Harry and others came to their favorite sofa, and then took off the invisibility cloak.

The cold silk-like touch refreshed his spirit, and Harry quickly put the invisibility cloak into the traceless retractable ring.

He had lost his invisibility cloak once before and could not find it again. If he accidentally lost it this time, he was not sure if he would be lucky enough to get it back.

Harry thought of something and asked: "Ron, I lost my invisibility cloak once before. Then I received a letter on the table. Someone found it and found it again. Was it you who found it?"

Ron was impressed.

"I remember you wrote me a letter and told me about this. I also provided you with several places to look for it. I wasn't at Hogwarts at that time. How could I possibly find it for you?"

Harry was slightly stunned and said in disbelief: "If you didn't find me, who would you be?"

Hermione pondered: "Harry, I've always wanted to ask you, how did you get the Invisibility Cloak?

This is one of the legendary Deathly Hallows. Legend has it that one can escape the pursuit of death by wearing it.

We have no way of verifying the legend, but at least after we used it, even senior wizards couldn't detect the invisibility cloak. There must be many people who want to get it. "

Harry's eyes flashed with confusion.

"I don't know who sent this, I just know that it is my Christmas gift. The letter said that this gift is also a relic of the Potter family and has been kept with him, so it is now returned to its original owner. ”

Ron quickly asked: "Who is he?"

Harry shook his head: "I don't know, if I knew, I would definitely ask him how to use the invisibility cloak correctly.

I feel like I've only used it very superficially, and there are many ways to use it that I haven't figured out yet. "

The Weasley twins had different ideas after hearing this.

George: "Since someone gave it to you, I'm afraid he can find traces of the invisibility cloak."

Fred: "Your invisibility cloak was lost before. He must have found it again and given it to you."

George: "And I can guarantee that that person must be at Hogwarts and has been paying attention to you. After knowing that you lost the invisibility cloak, he can help you find it back as soon as possible.

Fred made the final decision: "Poor Harry, you must be being watched, but you just don't know which deep-minded guy is watching you!"

Ron suddenly felt nervous.

He thought about Harry still carrying the prophecy of death, but Hermione had a different view.

"Even if that person hid in secret and didn't explain his identity, he was always doing it for Harry's good, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take out the Invisibility Cloak for Harry to use.

Such a good rare item would work wonders no matter what it was used for. If it was used for investigation, it would definitely yield a lot of useful information, but he still chose to give it to Harry. "

Hermione said: "I think he has good intentions towards Harry."

Harry's mind was a little confused.

I don't know why, but he easily accepted the fact that the Invisibility Cloak was lost and recovered at that time, and did not investigate the specific reasons.

There were obviously so many doubts about this matter, but he was just so happy that the Invisibility Cloak could come back that he didn't think about anything...

Harry looked a little serious. Was he usually such a careless person?

He had no other ideas before, but this in itself was the biggest abnormality.

Thinking like this, Harry suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, wondering if he had been cursed by someone, so he ignored many unreasonable details.

And he hadn't thought about it before, why did he suddenly think about it today?

Could it be because he suddenly saw the strange object?

No... At the moment he saw the strange object, his thoughts were more confused than now, his mind was blank, and he couldn't control his body at all.

At that time, he didn't even have the thought of escaping, so how could he suddenly explore the unreasonable places in normal times.

Harry felt a little itchy in his throat, coughed a few times, and coughed out some tea foam from it.

A light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, "It's the Lucidity Leaf!"

Harry asked hurriedly: "Does the Lucidity Leaf have the effect of breaking hypnosis?"

George said affirmatively: "Yes, holding the leaf can make people regain their will, and naturally it has other barrier-breaking effects."

Fred: "Harry, you look pale, are you thinking of something bad? Tell us, maybe we can help you share it."

Harry hesitated to express his thoughts: "Because this is my Christmas gift, I have never studied the origin of the Invisibility Cloak.

I am the only one left in my family, and I am not sure whether the Invisibility Cloak is a relic of the Potter family. I easily accepted this fact without any doubt.

The Invisibility Cloak was lost once before, but it was soon recovered. I still didn't doubt who found him. I think this is a bit abnormal."

Others listened, and their expressions were solemn.

Something is indeed wrong.

An ordinary little wizard should not be able to use it calmly without knowing who sent the gift.

After losing and recovering it, it is impossible not to find someone to thank.

The terrifying thing about Harry is that he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Hermione: "So you think someone is hypnotizing you to accept the invisibility cloak, and also hypnotizing you not to find out who sent it?"

Harry nodded.

Ron looked a little horrified. Why did he feel that a good chat gradually turned into a horror story?

Especially since they had just opened their eyes and saw strange objects and ways to eliminate them, and now it involves hypnosis, it feels that Hogwarts is becoming more and more unsafe.

It feels like seeing a mountain as a mountain, but it turns out that the mountain is not a mountain.

Ron turned his head to look at the blazing fireplace, and the flames attached to it more or less dispelled the haze in his heart.

He said: "It's getting late, why don't we go back and rest first?"

Too many things happened tonight, and he didn't have the energy to think. Now his head was dizzy, and even if his mind was clear, his body was clamoring for rest.

The Weasley twins looked at each other and said cautiously: "Let's sleep together tonight. I'm worried that you will have nightmares."

George: "It's okay to have nightmares, but I'm afraid that you will be dragged into the nightmare of the evil god world. Once you are immersed in it, you can't wake up."

Fred: "We promised Lin Xia that we would take good care of you."

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other. This was their first time encountering strange things, and they didn't know what would happen next.

But looking at George and Fred, why do they seem to be very experienced?

Ron hurriedly asked: "Have you seen strange things? Where did you come into contact with them? When did you come into contact with them?"

George and Fred rubbed Ron's head and laughed and made fun of it.

"Anyway, we have to stay with you to avoid any accidents."

"It's warm here too. Why don't we set up a tent by the fireplace tonight."

Hermione thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go back to the dormitory to get tools now."

George shook his head: "No."

He waved his wand and randomly clicked a book on the bookshelf.

The book kept twisting and changing shape, and automatically rolled down from the bookshelf. Once it fell to the ground, it stretched and deformed, and expanded more and more... Gradually, it became the shape of a small wooden house.

Fred also waved his wand and clicked on a few other books. Those books fell to the ground and turned into red sleeping bags.

George touched the sleeping bag, "It doesn't feel warm enough."

Fred waved his wand again and clicked on several books again, turning them into furry blankets.

George said with satisfaction: "Let's sleep here tonight!"

Seeing the twins emphasize so much and their expressions were very serious, Harry and the other three no longer hesitated, and squeezed into the small wooden house, wrapped in blankets and got into the sleeping bags.

The twins also gave them a few tranquilizing leaves.

George: "These leaves were stuffed into my mouth by Lin Xia. The calming leaves are the same as the awakening leaves. You can hold them in your mouth or swallow them."

Fred: "The calming leaves have a calming effect and can prevent you from having nightmares.

But the effect of the leaves is only an auxiliary effect. If you really have a nightmare, you still need to stay awake and don't sink into it."

Ron was a little scared: "We are all dreaming. Our brains are not clear to begin with. How can we stay awake?"

George said with a smile: "We will watch you from the side."

If George's expression was not so playful, Ron would believe it more.

Fred: "Go to sleep. Maybe something will happen tonight, or maybe not."

Harry got into the sleeping bag, holding the calming leaves in his mouth, and closed his eyes involuntarily.

A sense of security came from his body, and his consciousness suddenly became blurred, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

His body seemed to have separated from his soul, which floated in the air. His body became heavier, but his soul floated upwards, and his mind and body were in a state of separation.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the conversation between the twins.

"Are you all asleep?"

"It seems so. They fell asleep in a few seconds."

"The tranquilizing leaves given by Lin Xia are really fine. When can I get such good quality?"

Fred smiled: "George, as long as you are not so naughty, you can win the professor's love.

And if you become an excellent student and have the quota to read banned books, you can also get the things prepared by the school for free."

George smiled: "Fred, you can never do just not to be naughty."

"Hurry up, we still have to make some preparations!"

...

This sleep was dreamless.

The little wizards thought they would have nightmares and would be dragged into nightmares by the so-called evil god world. Even if they fell asleep, they were extremely vigilant.

As a result, they slept well all night.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, they were woken up by the Weasley twins and asked to go back to the dormitory to wash up.

Ron wondered: "I didn't have any nightmares. Are you trying to scare us?"

George said: "Don't you see what we have arranged in the cabin?"

Fred: "We have specially arranged a defensive magic array to let you sleep peacefully. In order to ensure your sleep, we have slept for less than three hours."

The others looked and found that the floor of the cabin was indeed painted with a magic array with silver-white mithril, which just wrapped their sleeping bags in a huge circle.

Hermione asked curiously, "If we don't make any defense, what will happen at night?"

George: "When you see strange things for the first time, your spirit will be shocked and your mind will be easily lost, that is, your soul will be distracted, and you will be pulled into the evil world by the evil god's whispers."

Ron was puzzled: "Isn't that world not here yet? Can we reach it through dreams?"

Fred: "Although the evil world has not come yet, it has gradually merged with the wizard world. Through some methods, you can use your spirit to cross time and latitude and reach them.

The more unstable a person's mind is, the more likely he will be tempted by the evil world."

After waking up from a sleep, everyone's energy was restored.

Harry recalled what happened yesterday and couldn't help asking: "Are all the strange things from the evil world so twisted?"

Hermione also asked: "And the bright flame used by the professor to remove strange things is not an ordinary spell. Can we learn it?"

The questions of these two people are also what the Weasley twins want to ask.

Although it is not the first time they have seen strange things, they have not seen them as often as the little wizard imagined.

And seeing it doesn't mean they have the ability to solve it. Most of the time they just watch and say nothing.

Ron's question is the simplest.

"Why do you draw defensive runes?"

The Weasley twins chuckled.

"Dear Ron, don't you know that we got A+ in the Ancient Magic Language course!"
