"It's okay, I can go alone to return it to Senior Longbottom." Hearing James say this, Alice's eyes lit up and she looked at James expectantly.
James waved his hand and said frankly, "Forget it. Let's not talk about whether you can enter the Gryffindor lounge. Even if you enter, you can't bravely enter the men's dormitory!"
"Oh, so." Alice seemed a little depressed. James thought she still wanted to practice flying for a while, so he comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. If you want to practice, Carl and I can accompany you for a while."
"Me too?" Carl pointed at himself. It's not that he didn't want to accompany Alice, but is there any need for one more person to watch?
James immediately held Carl's head, "Of course you want to, otherwise the simple training will become a single man and a single woman. What if Lily misunderstands!"
"You are really a man of virtue..." Carl's expression was a little speechless. He took a picture of James holding his hand, and then said, "There is no way, then I will stay, anyway, it is not dark yet."
The three of them flew for a long time, and when the sun was half covered by the mountains, they packed up and prepared to go home.
——————
The evening breeze blew. It was early spring now, but the wind blew, and it still felt a little cold. Carl subconsciously covered his wizard robe, then yawned and looked around. It must be said that the castle looked magnificent and beautiful during the day, but at night, the hazy atmosphere was very suitable for horror movies.
Especially, today is the full moon again.
The atmosphere was already a bit like a horror movie, but James suddenly shouted, "Alice Carl, look over there!"
Carl turned his head and saw James pointing in the direction of the Whomping Willow. Alice glanced at it without looking carefully, waved her hand and said, "The Whomping Willow, don't you see it often? But actually, when I went home for Christmas, I talked to my mother about it. My mother said that Hogwarts didn't have this thing before."
"I don't know why, but Principal Dumbledore planted one this year..." Before Alice finished her popular science, James shook his head and said, "No, I know this, but is there a figure over there..."
Alice looked carefully and saw a figure under the Whomping Willow, seemingly wearing a school robe, but the distance was too far, Alice couldn't see who it was, nor which college it was from.
James poked his head out and tried to see who it was, but it was too far away and he couldn't see clearly. "Who is this person? It's very dangerous to approach the Whomping Willow in the middle of the night. If you get hit, no one will know it in the middle of the night."
"I'll be a good person and call him back."
James planned to go forward and call the man back. In fact, he really did it. Carl wanted to stop James, but before he could grab his robe, James flew away.
Alice and Carl followed closely. In fact, Carl had already guessed who the person was. It was Lupin. It was close to the Whomping Willow at this time.
"Hey, you over there! You can't approach the Whomping Willow casually!" James stretched out his hand and shouted, but when he was about to approach the Whomping Willow, he found that there was no one in front of him, not even a ghost.
"James, run slower!" Alice and Carl chased James, but found that James stopped halfway. Alice walked up curiously and asked, "Why did you stop?"
James' expression froze on his face. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pointed to the Whomping Willow in front of him, and said to Carl and Alice, "People...people disappeared..."
"Hey!" Alice was shocked. Although Carl knew it, he could only follow Alice's shocked expression.
"Isn't someone joking with us? He went another way?" Alice really didn't expect this kind of midnight horror to happen to her. She blinked and said uncertainly.
"But that's the forbidden forest, right?" James pointed to the woods next to him.
——————
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Carl slept well, but when he went to the auditorium the next day to see Alice and James' faces, they were obviously affected by the supernatural events that happened yesterday.
"Alice, are you okay..." Carl looked at Alice's dark circles and was a little worried about her. Alice rubbed her panda eyes and looked at Carl tiredly.
"It's okay..." Alice waved her fingers in the air to simulate the agility of a ghost, and then said faintly, "It was just that when I went to bed yesterday, I always felt that there was something hidden under the bed, which made me sleep poorly all night."
"If I had known, I would have gone to bed yesterday.I came back at 12:00, who knew I would encounter such a scene..." Alice lay on the long table listlessly, and James came over. His eyes were also full of dark circles like Alice, but James' dark circles were much more serious than Alice's.
"James, did you also find a ghost under the bed last night? Are you afraid of this kind?" Carl teased, but he really didn't think James was the kind of person who was so scared of ghosts that he couldn't sleep.
After all, he occasionally liked to chat with ghosts when he was high, and he was almost invited to the death anniversary party by ghosts last time.
"Ah, I was thinking..." James had dark circles under his eyes, and then he looked a little regretful, "Is that guy a human or a ghost?"
"If it's a ghost, it doesn't matter..." Carl was a little speechless. What does it mean that if it's a ghost, it doesn't matter? You are not doing this to Alice who was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep that night.
"If the Whomping Willow was a real person, then he either disappeared on the spot or broke into the Forbidden Forest at night! Someone actually did something I didn't do before me! How can this be!" James slammed the table heavily, a little angry.
"How about I call Sirius and the others? Let's go to the Forbidden Forest tonight..."
"Oh, Peter is too timid, he probably won't agree, and Lupin will definitely tell the professor to stop us, then only Sirius..."
"Carl, I'm suddenly not afraid anymore, that is, James seems to be more terrifying..." Alice looked at James who was a little angry and hot-blooded, and leaned towards Carl, and Carl naturally took a step back, and the two of them formed a feeling of isolating James.
"You two?" James was about to explode, and a dusty figure in the hall slowly approached them. It was Lupin. Lupin seemed to have just returned, and there were still condensed dew on his hair.
"What are you three talking about?" Lupin suddenly appeared behind the three of them. Except for Carl, the other two were startled. Alice patted her chest to calm her frightened heart. James adjusted very quickly.
"Remus, you are back. How is your illness being treated?" James raised his hand to greet Lupin when he saw him coming. Lupin did not answer James but asked him immediately.
"Did you see a figure next to the Whomping Willow?" Lupin asked casually. James nodded, "Yes, it's quite weird. There is a result when you look from a distance, but there is not even a ghost when you walk in. "
Lupin continued, "Maybe you saw it wrong? The Whomping Willow's branches move..."
"Maybe the back you saw was just a branch that looked like a back, and you walked over, and then the branches of the Whomping Willow moved again. This is also possible, right?" Lupin tried his best to attribute the back that James encountered to the possibility that James might have seen something wrong.
James raised his head nonchalantly and shouted, "How could you underestimate me like this? How could I be wrong! My eyesight is very good!"
Lupin was slightly taken back by James's behavior. Having said that, his face was really pale. The sequelae after the full moon were really serious. No wonder others had no doubt that he was sick. "But James..."
Lupin's tone was a little uncertain, but he still spoke, "Last time you didn't wear glasses, and then you mistook Sirius with a red scarf on his head for Lily's back..."
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha! "
After hearing this, Alice and Carl laughed louder than each other. James looked at them and blushed. He said to Sirius with some blame, "Remus, how can you tell this to others!"
Carl patted Remus on the back, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes due to laughter, and then gave a thumbs up, "Well done Remus, how many surprises do James have that I don't know? Tell me..."
"Even if it's a red scarf, Lily and Sirius are so different in size, James... I now believe that you may have really seen it wrong. "Alice is very ladylike. She half-covered her lips, but she also laughed hard.
"Hey..." Looking at Carl who was taking advantage of his misfortune, and Alice who was infected with the "evil-minded virus" by Carl, James felt a little breathless and angry.
I hope that after seven years of school, I will be fine. I always feel that being with Carl is training my heart and tolerance for anger.
"There is nothing else. Anyway, when people are far away, they always see things unclearly..." Lupin finally pulled the topic back.
Alice was half-believing and half-doubting, and James was also a little unsure about what he saw. Lupin struck while the iron was hot and said, "Since youIf you have doubts, don't you practice flying at night? Can't you just check again when you come back? I guess there is no one there, maybe you really saw it wrong. "
Lupin said it as if it was true. Carl looked at him and thought that if he didn't know it was definitely him, he might have been fooled. Lupin, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you look like an honest child, but I didn't expect you to be so good at fooling people.
The subsequent result was that Alice James dragged Carl to squat next to the Whomping Willow for several days, but the incident that happened at the full moon still did not happen. A week later, everyone gradually forgot about this matter.
Of course, forgetting this matter is not simply because nothing happened, but more importantly, the exam is about to take place. If you delay your review because of this matter, it is not a good thing...
——————
Carl was flipping through books in the library. On the surface, he was preparing for the upcoming final exam, but in fact, he was solving a big problem. His concentration shocked Sever.
"Carl?" Sever called Carl's name, and Carl, who was reading, immediately looked up, "Well, what's wrong? Sever?"
After saying that, a hand touched Carl's forehead, groped back and forth, and then put it down, while the owner of the hand was thoughtful, muttering, "I don't have a fever..."
"Why is it so quiet today?"
"..." Carl narrowed his eyes, frowned hard, and looked very sad, "Sever, what kind of image do I have in your heart..."
"Hmm..." Sever's "hmm" echoed in his mouth for a long time, and he didn't say anything in the end, but it was obvious that Sever wanted to express that you shouldn't be like this now.
"Forget it, it won't be a good image anyway..." Carl pretended to cry with his head in his hands, and Sever didn't indulge him, and interrupted the spell, "If your tears wet the book, you will be scolded by Madam Pince. "
"What..." Carl raised his head in dissatisfaction and continued to look at the book in his hand. Sev was also curious. What on earth was Carl reading? He was so interested that he didn't even make a sound.
"The use of dragon blood? Fantastic beasts, fireball dragons... dragon eggs... and dinosaurs? Wait, this book is not about the magical world, right?" Sev frowned and looked at the titles of these books.
"Correct, I asked Penny to buy it for me from the Muggle library." Carl made a gesture of snapping his fingers, but he didn't really snap his fingers. After all, if he really did that, there was a 50% probability that a Madam Pince would be summoned on the spot.
"Why do you read so many books about dragons... Except for the use of dragon blood, other books will not be tested in these exams." But Sev was just curious. After all, dragons are too far away from their lives. Even if Carl reads these books, the probability of getting a dragon is less than 0.0001.
"Just a little bit of interest."
"Don't Sev think dragons are super cool? "Carl pretended to be very fond of it.
Sever's mind skipped over the dragon, then resolutely passed it and skipped over the potion in his mind, "Well... if it has medicinal value..."
"But you still have to look at the review materials, and stop reading books about dragons. After all, no matter how much you like dragons, it won't help you pass the final exam."
"I know, I know. If Sever always speaks like an old man, he will age quickly." Carl put down the book about dragons and started reading honestly. Although he would occasionally glance at the book about dragons, he was still reviewing well overall, so Sever didn't care.
