Every hour a teacher comes in to check that everyone is quiet. At three o'clock in the morning, when most of the students were asleep, Professor Dumbledore came in. He looked around for Percy, who was patrolling the sleeping bags, telling his classmates to stop talking. At this time, Percy was next to Ash and the others. When they heard Dumbledore's footsteps approaching, they immediately pretended to be asleep. "Professor, have you seen him?" Percy asked in a low voice. "No, everything is okay here?" "Everything is fine, Professor." "Very well, don't disturb them now. I have found a temporary guardian to replace the Gryffindor portrait. You can go back tomorrow "What about the Fat Lady, Professor?" "She was lying in a painting on the second floor. She refused to let Barak in because he didn't know the password, so he attacked her. She is still panicking. , when she calms down, I will ask Mr. Filch to arrange for her to come back." The door to the hall opened again, and there were more footsteps. "Headmaster," it was Professor Snape, "The third floor has been carefully searched, and he is not there. Filch has also searched the dungeons and is not there." "What about the observatory? Professor Trelawney's Where's the room? And where's Oliver's?" "They've all been searched" "Very well, Snape. I think Black is really gone." "And how do you think he got in? "How do you explain the information the Fat Lady provided to us?" "There are many conjectures, Snape, but none of them are possible." "Do you remember our conversation at the beginning of the semester, Professor Snape?" said, his lips barely moving, as if trying not to let Percy hear their conversation. "Remember, Snape," Dumbledore said, with a warning in his voice. "It seems that without internal help, it is almost impossible for Black to come in. I also mentioned this when you were in office" "I don't believe that anyone in the castle will help Black come in." Dumbledore was very clear. Ending the topic clearly, Professor Snape had nothing to say, "I'm going to find the dementors." Dumbledore said, "I mean we search. I will tell them when we are done." " Don't we need help, Professor?" Percy said. "Oh, no need." Dumbledore said coldly, "As long as I am still in office, I am afraid they will not be able to enter this castle." Percy blushed a little, and Dumbledore left the hall, walking quietly and quietly. fast. Professor Snape stood for a moment, watching the Headmaster leave with a look of resentment on his face, and then he left too. "What are they talking about?" Ron muttered. For the next period of time, there was no news about Sirius Black in the school. However, in the principal's office, Dumbledore often held a piece of paper and frowned in thought. There was a name on the note - Peter Pettigrew! Students are increasingly discussing how Sirius Black sneaked into the school. Hufflepuff Hanji spent most of Plant Care class saying that he had heard that Black came in as a flowering shrub. No one was particularly happy about the fact that the busted portrait of the Fat Lady had been taken down from the wall and replaced by a portrait of Cardegger and his pony. Sir Cardeg spent half his time challenging people, and the rest of the time he asked his classmates to come up with ridiculous and complicated passwords. He also changed the passwords twice a day "He is simply crazy." Ron told Pur angrily West said, "Can't we change to another one?" But the most irritated person was not Ron, but Harry. He was being watched closely now, with teachers making excuses to walk down the corridors with him, and Percy Weasley following him around all day like a fiercely loyal dog. The most outrageous thing is that Professor McGonagall called Harry into her office. The hurt expression on her face made Harry think who died. "Potter, there's no point in hiding it from you anymore," she said seriously, "I know this will come as a huge shock to you. But Sirius Black -" "I know he's coming for me," Harry said tiredly, "I heard a conversation between Ron's father and his mother. Mr. Weasley works in the Ministry of Magic." Professor McGonagall seemed startled. She stared at Harry for a moment and then said, "I understand. In that case, Potter, you should understand that it's not very good for you to go to the Quidditch field for practice at night. It's very dangerous to have only six of your teammates on the field." Harry¡ª¡ª" Harry did not refuse Professor McGonagall's proposal because he was originally a substitute player, and Captain Wood, under Ash's persuasion,Already giving up on letting Harry train with the team. As the first Quidditch match approached, the weather worsened, but the Gryffindors were unaffected, training harder under the watchful eye of Ms. Hooch, and then, during their last training session before the game. , Oliver Wood brings unwelcome news. "We are not playing Slytherin!" he told them, looking very angry, "Slytherin just came to me, we are going to fight Hufflepuff." "Why?" the other team members asked in unison. "Slings' excuse was that their team's Seeker drank the wrong potion and got sick!" Wood gritted his teeth and said, "It's obvious that they don't want to compete in such weather. They think they can win this way." The chance is not great" "While Wood was speaking, there was strong wind and heavy rain outside, and they also heard thunder in the distance. "Although we all know that Draco is pretending to be ill, we can't prove it." Wood said painfully. "We have been training hard thinking that we will face Slytherin, but it is Hufflepuff. Their style of play is very different. They have a new captain Seeker, Cedric Digory¡ª¡ª" An Galina and Kate suddenly started giggling. "What's the matter?" Wood said, frowning and looking at them with dissatisfaction. ¡°He¡¯s the taller and good-looking one, isn¡¯t he?¡± Arya said. ¡°Strong and silent,¡± Kate said, and they giggled again. "He's silent because he's too fat to put two words together," said Fred impatiently. "I don't understand why you're worried, Oliver. Hufflepuff is a poor opponent and we have "Yes, we have Aki! But even so" Wood said loudly, his eyes bulging slightly, "Digory is strong, and he is a good seeker." To think like this, we can't relax, we have to concentrate, Slytherin wants to trick us, we must win."
