Chapter 307: third attack
Chapter 307 The Third Attack
Hagrid rarely asked them for help, so they all agreed without much hesitation.
Fortunately, the beast banishing spell is just a simple spell. Although the project is huge, with the joint efforts of six people, it was finally completed in the evening.
They also received a thank you gift from Hagrid.
Cedric and Kyle got a lot of feathers from the witch bird, which are the largest pieces on the wings, perfect for making quills.
Kangna and Qiu’s bag is a small bag used to put hair accessories and change. The weaving is a bit rough, but the unicorn hair material is enough to make up for the lack of craftsmanship.
Out of the six, only Fred and George came back empty-handed.
Cat nives are not easy to come across, it takes time.
Hagrid told Fred and George to go to the hut after Christmas so that they could meet Catnivet.
As for whether Fred and George can gain the trust of the cats and take them home, it depends on their own abilities.
After all, these magical animals are very smart and can always run away if they don’t like it.
“I really hope tomorrow is Christmas.” Fred said expectantly on the way back to the castle.
"What if the cat nives don't like us." George was a little nervous. He turned his head and glanced at Qiu and Kangna. "Maybe it would be nice if we had a little bag, Ginny would like it too."
“Why didn’t you say anything then?” Fred glanced at him.
“I just remembered it too…”
They talked and laughed all the way back to the castle. There was still some time before dinner, so they decided to go to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor first.
Ever since Kyle told them about that magical place, it has become a good place to spend time.
Just as they reached the third floor, a sharp voice came from the corridor on the left.
“It’s done, it’s done! It’s done again! No one is immune, no matter the ghost! Run for your life!”
The sound is extremely penetrating.
Keir and the others looked at each other and ran over quickly without paying attention to the Room of Requirement.
In a dark corridor, they saw Peeves yelling and two ghosts in a strange state.
Nearly headless Nick and Bloody Barrow, they became black and filled with smoke, lying flat and suspended six inches above the ground.
Nearly headless Nick had half of his head missing, and a horrified look was fixed on his face.
Harry stood between the two ghosts, looking at them in panic.
At the same time, more and more people came swarming in, but surprisingly, no one got close to the two ghosts and Harry. Everyone stood on both sides of the corridor, looking at Harry in the middle with complicated expressions.
"I'm not…"
Harry felt like his stomach was frozen. He wanted to explain, but the words he came out were weak.
At this time, someone suddenly broke the silence and asked:
“Harry, do you see who turned them into this?”
"I didn't see it." Harry seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and explained quickly: "They were like this when I came, and then Peeves came, and he..."
“Stop talking nonsense, you did it!”
Macmillan of Hufflepuff squeezed out from the crowd, "Kyle, don't be fooled by him, he is a Parselmouth.
And at the Duel Club, he once controlled a snake and wanted to attack Justin Finch-Fletchley.
Moreover, Justin just said that he would come to the third floor to pick up the book he forgot in the Transfiguration classroom. "
"You must have eavesdropped on our conversation, right?" He looked at Harry and said, "Fortunately, I lent him my book, so you didn't succeed!"
Behind McMillan, a curly-haired boy was looking at Harry in horror. His face turned pale and he subconsciously leaned closer to Kyle, as if this way he would feel safe.
"I'm not, I didn't..." Harry explained: "I've been in the library all afternoon and haven't gone anywhere. How could I eavesdrop on you!"
"They were all caught red-handed..." "That's enough, Macmillan!" Professor McGonagall walked out of the crowd and said sternly.
Professor Flitwick and Professor Sinister of Astronomy also came. They stepped forward and bent down to check on the two ghosts.
Peeves kept floating around above his head, looking very happy.
Ever since seeing Bloody Baron look like that, Peeves' smile has never closed, and he even made up a song.
“Oh, Potter, you nuisance, look at the good things you’ve done.
You made a ghost, and you think it’s funny..."
“Stop it, Peeves!” shouted Professor McGonagall.
Peeves stuck out his tongue at Harry and ran to the other side to say hello to Kyle.
“Oh, little Kyle, you have to be careful, don’t get killed...but it’s not bad if you become a ghost.”
"Peeves!" Professor McGonagall roared again, and Peeves ran away happily.
The two professors dispersed the crowd. Professor McGonagall conjured up a large fan and handed it to Kyle, asking him to help take the nearly headless Nick and Bloody Barrow to the school hospital.
Kyle nodded and fanned the two ghosts down the stairs like balloons.
Professor McGonagall walked upstairs and said to Harry, "Follow me, Potter."
"Professor!" Harry said quickly, "I swear I didn't..."
"I have no control over this matter. Dumbledore wants to talk to you." Professor McGonagall replied briefly.
The voices of the two became farther and farther away, and soon nothing could be heard.
Kyle led the two ghosts through the hall and toward the campus hospital.
Their turnaround rate was so high that everyone they met along the way stared at them curiously.
“Kyle, what are you doing...Oh, isn’t this the ghost of Gryffindor?”
In the courtyard, Kyle also met Lockhart. He looked at the almost headless Nick and said, "They made themselves a new suit?"
"It's an attack, Professor," Kyle said. "Same as the last two."
"Of course I know this is the case. They must be under a certain curse." Lockhart grinned: "I have seen such ghosts in the vampire's castle. They offended the vampire and could only float like balloons. on the ceiling.
But with my persuasion, the vampires finally lifted their curse... I happened to remember this spell. "
"That's great." Kyle didn't stop and continued walking forward, "Then you can go to the campus hospital with me. Professor McGonagall asked me to send them there."
"Of course it's no problem, but I need to go back now and reply to my admirers."
Lockhart showed two rows of shining teeth and said, "Please tell Madam Pomfrey to wait for me for a moment, and I will go over immediately to help her solve this problem."
…
After arriving at the campus hospital, Madam Pomfrey had no choice but to ask Kyle to slap them into the corner and put them away, and then surrounded them with curtains.
As long as there is no wind, they will not run around.
Before leaving, Kyle said casually: "Professor Lockhart may be coming over soon."
“What is he here for?” Madam Pomfrey frowned.
“Said it was to help solve the ghost problem.”
"Help?" Madam Pomfrey laughed angrily, "He can't even tell the difference between hellebore and double-leaf clover. He can only make up stories and is ignorant..."
At this point, she suddenly realized that Kyle was here and quickly shut her mouth.
“It’s nothing...just go back quickly.”
