After returning to the wooden house, Jon began to have a bad feeling in his heart.

It seems, maybe, maybe, Harry and the others ran into it today?

He wasn't quite sure, because his memory about the time had become very blurred, and he only vaguely remembered these two days.

"What's the matter? Listless?"

Stephen, Fren and Scully were already waiting here. The four of them originally planned to play cards all night tonight, so they ran out of the dormitory collectively. Unexpectedly, Jon started to lose his mind now.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Scully pulled out a small bottle from the pocket of his robe, which contained some strange liquid.

"Do you want to try this? I bought it from the Gryffindor twins. It is said that one bite can refresh your mind."

"No."

Jon shook his head, "I just feel that something is going to happen, so I'm a little worried, but there are professors watching, let's start playing."

...

But today's Hogwarts Castle is not peaceful.

Almost all the ghosts were mobilized by Peeves, moving around the castle invisibly, staring at the path from Gryffindor to the entrance on the fourth floor.

But Harry didn't know this.

No one paid any attention to them.

For the first time in many days, Harry didn't feel bad about it.

Hermione was busy flipping through all her notes, hoping to come across a spell they were going to break later, and Harry and Ron were silent, thinking about what they were about to do.

The students went to bed one by one, and the number of people in the common room gradually decreased.

"You can go get the invisibility cloak."

Ron whispered that at this time Lee Jordan finally stretched himself, yawned and left. Harry ran upstairs, rushed into their dark dormitory, and took out the invisibility cloak. At this moment, he accidentally saw the flute that Hagrid gave him at Christmas. He put it in his pocket and prepared to use it. It went to deal with Lu Wei - he didn't think he was in the mood to sing to the big dog.

Then he trotted back to the common room, conferring with his teammates: "We'd better put the cloak on here and see if it covers all three of us—if Filch sees a pair of The feet walk on the ground by themselves—"

"What are you doing?"

A voice sounded from a corner of the room, and Neville flashed out from behind an armchair, clutching his toad, Raffle, who seemed to have fought for his freedom just now. .

"Nothing, Neville, nothing."

Harry said, and quickly hid the Invisibility Cloak behind his back.

Neville stared at them with guilty faces and said:

"You plan to go out again."

"No," Hermione quickly argued, "we don't want to go out. Neville, why don't you go to sleep?"

Harry looked at the grandfather clock by the door, they couldn't delay any longer, Snape was probably already playing music and lulling Lu Wei to sleep.

"You can't go out,

said Neville. "You'll still be caught, and Gryffindor will be even more unlucky." "

"You don't understand," said Harry, "that this matter is very important."

But Neville seemed determined this time, desperate to stop them.

"I won't let you do that."

He said, rushing to block in front of the portrait hole, "I want—I want to compete with you!"

"Neville," Ron was furious, "get out of that hole, don't be an idiot—"

"Don't call me an idiot!" said Neville. "I don't think you should break the school rules anymore! And you were the ones who encouraged me to stand up to others!"

"Yes, but not against us."

Ron said angrily, "Neville, you have no idea what you're doing."

He took a step forward, and Neville dropped the toad Raffle in his hand, and the little thing disappeared in three or two hops.

"Come on, come and hit me!"

Neville raised both fists, "I'm ready!"

Harry had no choice but to turn to Hermione and said anxiously, "Hurry up and think of a way, we don't have time."

Hermione stepped forward, raising her wand.

"Neville," she said, "I'm very, very sorry for doing this.

——All petrification! "

She pointed her wand at Neville and gave a soft drink.

Neville's arms slapped against his sides, his legs stood up straight, his whole body became stiff, and then he swayed a few times before falling to the ground with a plop, looking as hard as a board.

Hermione ran over and turned him over, his jaws locked together, unable to speak, only his eyes were rolling, looking at Hermione and the others in horror.

"What did you do to him?"

Harry asked quietly.

"It's a body-binding spell."

Hermione asked sadly, "Oh, Neville, I'm so sorry."

"You'll see later, Neville."

Ron said, and they stepped over Neville and put on the Invisibility Cloak.

And just as they left the Gryffindor lounge, an elf suddenly appeared in Jon's cabin.

"Good evening, Talos, is something wrong?"

Jon put down the cards in his hand and turned to ask.

The little elf who came shuttle nodded.

"Those three little wizards left Gryffindor, so the secretary sent me to say something, he will delay for a while, I hope you hurry over."

"What's the use of me going?"

Jon complained, but still put down the cards in his hand.

"Everyone, do you want to go together?"

...

Among the castle.

Leaving Neville lying motionless on the floor, Harry and the others walked down the corridor, always thinking that this was not a good omen.

In the heightened tension, every statue in the shadows looked like Filch's figure, and every whiff of wind in the distance sounded like Peeves swooping down on them.

Just as they were about to climb the first stairs, they suddenly saw Mrs. Norris hiding on the top floor of the stairs.

"Oh, let's kick it, just this once."

Ron whispered in Harry's ear, but Harry shook his head, and they walked around it carefully, and Mrs Norris looked up at them with her bright eyes, but saw nothing.

They met no one along the way, and they arrived at the stairs leading to the fourth floor. Peeves was jumping upstairs, tearing loose the carpet on the stairs, trying to make others fall.

"Who's there?"

When they just stepped up the stairs and walked towards Peeves, Peeves suddenly narrowed his black eyes that always liked mischief, and said to them, "I know you are there, although I can't see you." You, are you a ghoul, or a ghost, or a student kid?"
