During this time, Rodan grabbed a small box and flew out of the window. When he came back, the gold coins inside turned into a box full of Honeydukes candies... The atmosphere suddenly became more lively.

Kyle thought their laughter must have reached the next kitchen, because the house-elves gave them more snacks and filled every time a plate was empty.

Late at night, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer...he put down the biscuits in his hand, yawned and went back to the dormitory.

The banquet gradually came to an end.

Kyle lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

…

I don’t know how long it was, maybe only two or three hours…but there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Then, Cedric, in his pajamas, came in and turned on the light, waking up the two people in the room.

"What's wrong, Cedric, isn't the party over yet?" Ryan asked, getting up from the bed and rubbing his eyes.

"It's not a party..."

Cedric's expression was serious, "Sirius Black just broke into the Gryffindor dormitory and attempted to kill a student."

"Blake broke into the dormitory?" Ryan suddenly woke up, his face full of disbelief, "Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not." Cedric shook his head, "Professor McGonagall has confirmed it, it's true."

Ryan was terrified and stood there stiffly, not daring to move.

"Get up quickly, you won't be able to sleep tonight." Cedric continued, "Professor Sprout just came, and she asked everyone to stay in the common room until the professors finish searching the castle.

You guys go quickly, I have to go inform others."

When they arrived at the common room, there were already quite a few people there. Kanna sat on a sofa in the corner and waved to Kyle.

"Did you hear?" she whispered, "that Sirius Black broke into the Gryffindor dormitory."

"Yeah." Kyle nodded, "Cedric just told me everything."

"Do you think he will..." Kanna looked towards the door with a trace of worry on her face.

"Don't worry, it won't happen," Kyle said. "The first requirement to enter the Hufflepuff common room is that you must have a wand... You can't knock open those barrels with your hands."

…

More and more people gathered in the lounge, all in their pajamas, talking about what had just happened.

They couldn't understand how Sirius Black had managed to break into a college dormitory.

"I remember Gryffindor had a password." Someone yawned and couldn't help asking.

"And I heard that Sir Cadogan changes his password very quickly, sometimes two or three times a day. How did Black guess that?"

"Maybe he used some trickery to deceive the portrait... I remember that Sir Cadogan. He looked silly and his brain wasn't working very well."

Everyone gathered in the common room, chatting and waiting for news of Blake's arrest.

At dawn Professor Sprout returned and told everyone that Blake had escaped again.

She asked everyone to go back to bed, but many did not move.

They felt that they would not be able to sleep even if they went back, so they simply stayed in the common room.

There are a lot of people here and there is a warm fireplace, so it feels safer than sleeping in the dormitory.

Ryan was one of them, and Kyle was the only one left in the dormitory.

The next day, security was tightened throughout the castle.

Professor Flitwick found the guard of the castle gate with a large photo of Sirius Black. Filch was also very busy, running around in the corridor to plug the gaps, even the smallest cracks in the wall were not spared, and they were all blocked tightly.

"You will never imagine what happened..."

At the Hufflepuff table, Fred and George were describing in vivid detail what had happened last night.

"That Black was standing right in front of Ron, holding a knife in his hand..."

"Poor little Ron, he must be terrified..."

"Wait, who were you talking about, Ron?"

At this moment, Cedric suddenly interrupted them and said in confusion: "But shouldn't Black look for Harry? Everyone knows that it was Harry who defeated his master."

"His target was definitely Harry at first, there's no doubt about that..." said Fred, "but I think he chose the wrong bed."

George shrugged. "Everyone draws the curtains when they sleep, so Blake can't see anyone, so he can only look for them one by one. Ron happened to be closest to the door..."

"He probably didn't expect that he would be discovered so soon."

"One more thing." Cedric looked up and added some corn flakes to himself. "How did Black get in? Your portrait...did Sir Cadogan not notice it at all?"

Speaking of this, Fred suddenly slammed the table and said angrily, "How come you didn't realize that he was the one who put Blake in there."

"That stupid knight, we thought he was quite interesting, but we didn't expect him to be such a fool."

George said angrily: "He even saw Blake's face, but he didn't care at all and only recognized the password."

"Fortunately the Fat Lady was replaced again..."

"That foolish knight deserves only to stay in the corner of the North Tower."

"Blake knows your password?" Connor asked.

"He even knows all the passwords for this week," George said, "because..."

"oh!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cry of surprise.

At the Gryffindor table, Neville ran out of the hall holding a red letter... It was a Howler Letter.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, the Slytherin table burst into laughter.

Then they heard the Howler explode in the hallway... and Neville's grandmother's voice, amplified a hundred times more than usual, screaming at him for bringing shame to the Longbottom family.

The Slytherins laughed even louder.

Hermione also rushed out of the hall, apparently wanting to comfort Neville.

"Just as you can see."

Fred shrugged. "Neville wrote down the week's passwords on a piece of paper and lost it..."

"Blake must have picked this up somewhere..." George said, "and then he came to the tower and read it out."

"Professor McGonagall was furious and forbade Neville to go to Hogsmeade again, and she also forbade anyone to tell him the password."

"Poor Neville, he can only go back to the common room if he is taken by someone else."
