Harry Potter Reborn

Chapter 429 Wait a minute, how am I old?

The first person to float out was Helena. She is probably the person who cares about Hogwarts the most. She has been in this castle for the longest time, and because of her mother, she kept this place.

This ancient castle that has existed for more than a thousand years considers it as his home.

The dormitory tower of Hufflepuff House has the warmest feeling of home among the four houses because they live in treehouses.

Their attic was originally a magical plant called the Family Tree, with thick branches and lush leaves. Later, a tower was gradually built with it as the core of the house.

A long time ago, the ghosts of Hufflepuff lived at the roots of the family tree, where various caves naturally grew. The ghosts told stories based on the roots. These stories were the nutrients of the family tree, allowing it to continue to grow.

Eventually it got so tall that a certain Hogwarts Headmaster decided not to let it grow any taller.

In the Hufflepuff common room, there is a low ceiling made of leaves, a warm fireplace, and delicious food available at any time.

The tower is entirely made of wood and does not contain stone. Vibrant plants can be seen on tables, chairs, stairs, and handrails, ranging from palm-sized grass to room-sized flowers, as if they are wrapped in

A paradise.

The rooms where students live are like nests. Each dormitory is like a wooden barrel cut in half. The bottom of the barrel is a fan-shaped window, and there are comfortable little beds in the shape of bird's nests. When the students start to fall asleep,

, the semicircular ceiling will be lit up with fireflies, like a night sky full of stars.

But today, we encountered big trouble here.

The flames burned from the southeast corner of the tower. The wood was flammable. Soon, the blazing flames occupied one-third of the space in the vertical direction. It was so bright in the night that it looked like a flaming giant dozens of meters high.

Fortunately, that corner is not located in a dormitory.

But slowly, the flames began to spread vertically and attack inside.

During Helena's flight, her wand emitted several rays of light and landed in several dark places in Hogwarts.

Soon, several figures rushed over and gathered here. They looked at the Hufflepuff Tower being engulfed in flames with ugly expressions.

The flames finally caused the family tree to feel pain. It shook, and all the students in every room on every floor were suddenly thrown off the bed and fell to the floor.

They scratched their heads in confusion and looked left and right.

Then I noticed the fiery red color and bursts of heat.

"Ahhhh..."

"It's on fire..."

Continuous screams of terror echoed in the tower.

All magic is thrown away.

The professors not far below looked at the students running out of the building and felt slightly relieved.

Although they were disheveled, none showed signs of injury.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid... After arriving here, they have never stopped trying to extinguish the flames with magic.

But this is obviously not an easy task.

Snape waved his wand and said coldly to the Hufflepuff students standing on the lawn: "Check in each dormitory whether everyone has come down."

Madam Pomfrey shouted anxiously: "Is anyone's eyes hit by smoke or burned by the flames? Come to me quickly."

Located at a window high up.

Hermione looked down and said: "Harry, please help them quickly, otherwise I think the Hufflepuff dormitory will be burned down."

"Um."

Harry touched his body and said, "Wait a minute, where's my... wand?"

"Brother, it's here." Astoria found the Elder Wand out of nowhere and handed it to Harry.

Harry pointed to the sky above the Hufflepuff dormitory: "Clear water is like a spring."

If this water-calling magic is used by a beginner, there may only be a small water column, which is about the same amount as a mouthful of water. After being thoroughly mastered, it can produce about as much water as a bucket.

And with the magical attainments of these professors at Hogwarts, every time they chant a spell, at least half a cubic meter of water can be poured onto the Hufflepuff dormitory tower. This is half a ton, and the efficiency is already much higher than that in the Muggle world.

Fire truck.

But when Harry used it, it was different.

A silver bolt appeared directly, as if intercepted by a huge waterfall somewhere, and hit the Hufflepuff dormitory where the fire was burning.

Hey, hey...

The fire was completely extinguished, and a large cloud of white water vapor rose up.

It's a pity that although this large amount of water fell down, although it extinguished the fire in the tower, it also broke an unknown number of thick branches of the family tree. The cracking sound was like a firecracker, and the split branches revealed the white core of the tree.

.

Professor Sprout looked sadly at the half-burnt branches and the many broken branches, and said: "I need to add some nutrient solution. According to the injury, it will take at least a month or two for the family tree to recover.

"

"It's okay, students," Professor McGonagall said softly.

Then she looked seriously at the hundreds of students who were relieved because the fire was put out, and said, "Who can tell me what is going on?"

Although the tone did not sound angry, everyone felt the air tightening.

More than two hundred Hufflepuff students looked at each other.

Hagrid was like a huge black shadow, his thick eyebrows were raised upwards, and his eyes that had barely been opened opened, very bright.

On a piece of carbonized bark of the family tree, a bright red color flows, as if red crystal has melted.

He strode over and carefully picked up a little bit.

He brought it to Professor McGonagall and said in a low voice: "It's fire ants. This kind of magical creature can reproduce quickly as long as there is fire. There is a large area there. It is probably a fire ant that set the tower on fire."

Snape said gloomily: "I see, wasn't this the content of your class on Friday? It seems that you didn't take good care of your baby, and that's why this happened."

Hagrid was very angry: "Don't talk nonsense. I took good care of the fire ants. I put them away as soon as the class was over. And the hunting ground where I took classes was so far away from here. It was impossible to climb here for a week."

.”

Professor Flitwick stood next to Hagrid's boots and said: "And the lifespan of a fire ant is very short, only a few hours, unless someone keeps helping it obtain the energy for its survival."

"Hmph." Snape sneered.

Professor McGonagall had some ideas in mind. She looked up at the dark crowd and asked directly: "Who brought the fire ants from the Care of Magical Creatures class to the dormitory building?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone thought something.

It turns out that the fire was really caused by someone.

In one place, several girls' faces suddenly turned pale and frightened.
