While talking, Aki and the others had arrived at the entrance of the lobby and entered the lobby. The hall was decorated with thousands of pumpkin lanterns, clouds of bats flying around, and lots of bright orange flags, like beautiful water snakes swimming lazily on the ceiling. The food was very delicious. Even sisters Hermione Patil and Zhang Qiu ate a lot of sweet duck candies, and they were able to eat a second portion of each item. After dinner, there was entertainment from the Hogwarts ghosts, who popped up from the walls and tables to form a light source, and even the clumsy hanging movements of headless Nick - the Gryffindor ghost - got a lot of attention. Big success. It was a happy evening, although Draco once shouted to the leaving crowd, "Potter, the Dementors greet you." Ash and Hermione followed the Gryffindor crowd to Gryffindor But when they came to the corridor guarded by the Fat Lady's portrait, they saw a large number of students surrounding it. "Why don't they go in?" Ron asked curiously. Everyone looked forward hard, and the portrait of the Fat Madam seemed to be tightly closed. "Please give way," was the voice of Percy, who was walking into the crowd pretentiously, "Why are everyone piled up here? Have you all forgotten the slogan? - I'm sorry, I am an excellent boy ¡¡± Then there was silence. First, the people in front were silent, and then it spread to the corridor like a cold wave. They heard Percy shouting, his voice sudden and sharp, "Go and get Professor Dumbledore, quickly!" People's heads turned, and those standing behind stood up and looked ahead. "What's going on?" Ginny asked as soon as she arrived. Soon, Professor Dumbledore came. He walked through the crowd towards the portrait, and Ash and the others followed closely to see what was going on. "Oh, God -" Hermione yelled, grabbing Ash's arm. The fat lady disappeared from the portrait. The portrait had been severely chopped, the pieces scattered all over the floor, and most of the portrait had been torn apart and pulled away. Dumbledore glanced at the ruined statue hastily, his eyes were deep, and then turned to Professor McGonagall, Lupin and Snape who were hurried over. Dumbledore said, "We are going to find her. Professor McGonagall, please go to Mr. Filch immediately and tell him to search every portrait in the castle immediately." "Good luck." A giggling voice explain. It¡¯s Peeves, that naughty guy. He was looking at the crowd and said happily. As usual, he takes pleasure in seeing others worried or seeing disaster. "What do you mean? Peeves?" Dumbledore said calmly, and Peeves' toothy smile subsided a little. He didn't dare to mess with Dumbledore, who immediately switched to a slippery tone, which was little better than his giggle. "It's so miserable, Mr. Principal, I really don't want to see her like this. She just turned into a ball. Sir, I saw her running in the Feng Shui painting on the fourth floor, dodging in the woods, and shouting something sadly. "He said excitedly. "It's so pitiful," he added without sincerity. "Did she say who did it?" Dumbledore asked quietly. "Oh, yes, Headmaster." Peeves said, holding a big bomb in the air. "She wouldn't let him in, and he was very angry, you see!" Peeves slid over and smiled between his legs. "That man has such a bad temper, Sirius Black!" This sentence immediately caused a commotion among the students. "What, that Prisoner of Azkaban is in Hogwarts!" "Damn it, how did he get in?" Everyone was having a heated discussion, and Aki glanced at Lupine quietly, and they both blinked at the same time. , smiled Professor Dumbledore sent all the Gryffindor students back to the hall. Soon, students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin also gathered around. They all looked confused. . "The teachers and I are going to search the castle carefully." Professor Dumbledore said after seeing Professor McGonagall and Flitwick come in and close the door, "For your safety, I'm afraid you have to spend the night here. I want the best students to guard the entrance, and the best boys and girls will be responsible for reporting anything to me," he added to Percy, who looked proud and pretentious. "If there is any situation, ask Peeves to report." Professor Dumbledore paused and was about to leave the hall, then said: "Oh, you may want to" With a wave of his wand, all the big tables flew to the hall. On the edge of the hall, standing with his back to the wall, he waved his wand again, and the floor of the hall?There were a lot of purple sleeping bags. "Sleep well," said Dumbledore, going out and closing the door. The hall immediately erupted as Gryffindor students described to others what had happened. "Everyone get into sleeping bags!" Percy yelled, "Come on, stop talking, turn off the lights in ten minutes." Ash dragged several sleeping bags together and called sisters Hermione, Zhang Qiu and Patil to join him. , Harry Ron also followed. After a few people lay down, Ron couldn't wait to say, "Do you think Barak is still in the castle?" "Obviously Dumbledore thinks he might be." Harry said, "Luckily he will go tonight "Look, you see!" Hermione said to Harry, "The night we weren't in the tower" "I think he lost track of time when he ran away," Ron said, "He probably didn't know it was Halloween. , otherwise he wouldn't have broken in here. "Hermione looked a little scared. Axi took the opportunity to reach over and put his arms around her shoulders. It was difficult to see clearly under the dim candle light. Although Hermione was a little embarrassed and angry, But he didn't slap Axi away. This made Aki very happy. At Axi¡¯s feet, Dahei lay quietly. Everyone around Ash asked each other the same question, "How did he get in?" "Maybe he becomes transparent," said a Ravenclaw student, "only appears when the air is thin." "Pretend to be someone you're not, probably," said a fifth-year Hufflepuff. ¡°He probably flew in,¡± Dean Thomas said. "Honestly, am I the only student who has read a history book about Hogwarts?" Hermione said. "Except Aki!" Ron said, "But why?" "Because the castle is mainly protected by walls," Hermione said. "There are all kinds of magic on the walls to prevent people from outside from sneaking in. You can't be transparent here. It seems to me that he must be disguised to trick the dementors. They are guarding every entrance. They can also see if he flies over, and Filch knows all about it. Secret entrance, they'll block those entrances" "Turn out the lights now," Percy yelled, "I want you to start sleeping and stop talking!" At this point, all the candles went out. The only visible light was from the silver ghosts, who were talking secretly to the best people and to the enchanted ceiling, which was like the sky outside, dotted with stars. What's going on? There were still chirping sounds in the hall.
