Chapter 410: confinement
Chapter 410 Confinement
Professor McGonagall banned Neville from going to Hogsmeade again because he lost the note with the password.
Perhaps she was afraid that Neville would throw something else... She had always suspected that Sirius Black had picked up the note that Neville had thrown in Hogsmeade.
So when it was another visiting day, Neville watched the others leaving the castle happily, then silently turned around and went up the stairs.
Neville did not complain in his heart, but felt that Professor McGonagall was right to do so.
He was always losing things, always messing up everything, and it might have been better if he didn't know the password, since he couldn't remember it anyway.
Although this would definitely make it very inconvenient and he would not be able to enter and leave the dormitory as he pleased, but at least he would not have to worry about causing any more trouble.
To be honest, after learning that it was because of him that Sirius Black broke into the Gryffindor common room and almost killed Ron, Neville's blood ran cold and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably. .
After that, he had nightmares for several days.
Ron became the new Gryffindor ghost, and he also had a new name... Nearly Headless Weasley.
There was no way, Neville was most familiar with Nearly Headless Nick, so he naturally put Ron's face on it.
In the dream, Ron kept asking him why he wrote the password on paper and gave it to Sirius Black.
Every time Neville was woken up while explaining, the way he yelled frightened everyone else, including Ron.
To be honest, in Ron's opinion, Sirius Black didn't even scare him half as much as Neville.
I don’t know when it started, but the dormitory seemed to have turned into another divination classroom.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep in several days. Every time he closes his eyes, the next second he hears Neville shouting next to him... Ron, I didn't mean to kill you.
or it could be,
"Nearly headless Weasley, let me go, it was Black who killed you..."
The problem is that he is still alive and well, able to eat, sleep, and still do his homework...
Also, what the **** is Nearly Headless Weasley? He has no memory of any relationship between himself and Sir Porpington.
It's okay if you do it once or twice, and it will pass if you tolerate it, but who can stand it if you do it every day... It's too scary.
Even though he had told Neville more than once that he forgave him, it was still of no use.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bear to leave Harry, Ron would have wanted to change dormitories.
This situation has only improved in recent days.
Neville didn’t want the things in his dream to come true, so he didn’t want to know what the password was.
As long as he didn't know the password, Black wouldn't be able to use him to enter the Gryffindor common room...
Um?
Thinking of this, Neville was suddenly stunned.
He turned his head and looked at the empty stairs around him, and seriously thought about a question...
Now that almost everyone has gone to Hogsmeade, he doesn't know the password. How can he get back?
Although there are definitely some senior students left in the common room, given the sound insulation effect of the castle, no matter how loud he shouts, it is impossible for the people inside to hear him.
"Oh, how could I forget this!" Neville thought in annoyance as he wandered aimlessly in the castle.
While turning around a corridor on the fourth floor, he suddenly found an extra person in front of him.
“Harry!” Neville shouted in surprise, “I forgot you’re not going to Hogsmeade either!”
He was really happy... he could finally go back to the common room.
"Hey, Neville." Harry quickly walked away from the statue of the hunchbacked witch, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "What are you doing here?"
“Nothing to do,” Neville said. “Want to play crackle cards? I happen to have a new pair in the dormitory?”
It was too cold outside, and he missed the warmth of the fireplace in the common room.
"Well... not now..." Harry said hesitantly. He just wanted to find a reason to get rid of Neville so that he could go to Hogsmeade through the secret passage.
“Next time, I’m going to the library to write the paper on vampires assigned by Professor Lupine…”
“That’s great,” Neville said in surprise. Going to the library is also a good choice, and he happened to not understand the lesson.
“You can help me…”
He suddenly closed his mouth, took a small breath, and looked behind Harry.
It's Snape, and Kyle.
They seemed to have just come down from upstairs and were talking.
“Professor, I would be happy to help you with a little help, but today is Hogsmeade visit day and I have missed the time now...”
"Watch your wording, it's not help, it's confinement." Snape said without looking back: "If you don't brew the potion in the correct order next time, you won't have to go to Hogsmeade again."
“But there’s nothing wrong with my hair erecting potion, it’s just the standard **** color.” Kyle said.
“Don’t you understand what I said? How many times do you have to repeat it? Your steps are not the same as those in the book!”
While speaking, Snape's eyes suddenly looked over.
"What are you two doing here?" He stopped and glanced at the two of them, "It's weird to meet here."
Snape looked around, and finally followed Harry's gaze and landed on the statue of the hunchbacked witch.
"We didn't bump into each other, we just happened to bump into each other." Harry said nervously.
"Really?" Snape said, "You always show up where no one expects, Potter, and rarely for a good reason... I suggest you two go back to Gryffindor Tower, that's This is where you should be."
Neville and Harry quickly ran away.
After they left, Kyle looked at Snape and asked, "Then so do I..."
“You can’t do it yet!” Snape said without hesitation.
“But haven’t the matters for the fat lady on the eighth floor been settled?”
"That's just part of it." Snape said in a long voice, "Now I have other things to do. I went to the underground classroom when I was a child... If you dare to be late for one second, I guarantee that you will never be able to go to Hogmore." That’s good.”
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the statue of the hunchbacked witch, and tapped it with his wand from time to time.
“Okay, Professor!”
Kyle didn't look at Snape again and left the corridor.
With only one hour, it was definitely impossible to go to Hogsmeade. He was going to find something else to do to pass the time.
When he reached the second floor again, Kyle met Neville again.
He was leaning on a pillar beside the stairs, looking like he was doing nothing.
"What are you doing here?" Kyle asked, "Where's Harry."
“Well, we were going back to the tower, but Harry said he had something else to do and left.
I don’t know the password, so I’m going to the library for a while. "
“What about you?” he asked, “Why did you appear on the fourth floor with Snape and not go to Hogsmeade?”
“Obviously, no.” Kyle said, “I was in solitary confinement and just added some special potions to the portrait of the Fat Lady on the eighth floor.
Next time Blake wants to tear up the portrait, it won’t be so easy. "
"That's great..." Neville said happily, "We've all had enough of that Ser Cadogan, who doesn't want him back again."
“Where are you going now, back to the common room?”
"No, I'm going to go to the library." Kyle shook his head and said, "I just haven't finished the homework for a few courses."
"That's great." Neville's eyes lit up, "Can you help me? I never understood the vampire lesson. Does garlic have to be eaten to be useful, or..."
