Chapter 604 Reunion

The establishment of the library has brought great changes to Ravenclaw.

It is precisely because the Ravenclaw Library has a more complete collection of books than the Hogwarts Library that the top students from other colleges come to Ravenclaw in an endless stream.

Of course, the books in the Ravenclaw Library cannot be taken away from Ravenclaw, so in addition to Ravenclaw students, many students from other colleges can be seen studying hard in the Ravenclaw Common Room.

Professor Flitwick also maintains a tacit attitude towards this situation. Perhaps in his opinion, although so many books are nominally donated to Ravenclaw College by Mike, they actually belong to the entire Hogwarts, so it is certainly feasible for people from other colleges to come and take a look.

But things are not as simple as he thought.

With the connivance of Professor Flitwick, many poor students who can't read books also gathered in Ravenclaw.

But their purpose of coming is certainly not to study hard, but to get close to the students of Ravenclaw.

Harry couldn't understand this before, but with Mac becoming the Minister of Magic and Professor Flitwick becoming the headmaster of Hogwarts, it all happened naturally.

Today, Ravenclaw has undoubtedly become the leader of the four major colleges.

Although Professor Flitwick didn't go as far as Snape, his preference for Ravenclaw students is unquestionable.

Harry estimated that in a few years, the title of "the best college in Hogwarts" would be moved from Gryffindor to Ravenclaw.

Thinking of this, Harry shook his head with some disappointment. As a Gryffindor, he had mixed feelings about the decline of Gryffindor.

He got up and walked outside. There were too many people here during the day, and such an investigation was meaningless. He decided to come back and take a look at night.

Just when he was about to reach the eagle-head door knocker, I don't know if it was because of his low mood that affected his perception or what, but Harry bumped into a familiar figure.

"I'm sorry..." Ron, who felt that he had bumped into someone, took two steps back and prepared to apologize. But just as he said this, he saw that there was nothing in front of him. Then his expression became stunned. "WTF!"

Looking at Ron's stunned face, Harry panicked.

If it was someone else, he could just hit him with a stunner, then hide him in the death cloak and walk away.

But facing Ron, he really couldn't do it.

While Harry was hesitating, Ron seemed to realize something. He stretched out his arms and groped in the air with his eyes wide open, while he kept muttering:

"Harry? Harry? Is that you?"

Harry wanted to run away directly, but seeing Ron's expectant look, he finally gritted his teeth, walked around Ron's back, covered Ron's mouth, and whispered in his ear:

"It's me, don't talk, keep quiet. Let's find a place where no one is around to talk."

Harry could clearly feel Ron's body shaking the moment his voice sounded, which made him involuntarily tense his muscles.

Fortunately, Ron quickly calmed down. He nodded seriously at the empty space beside Harry, and then tiptoed out of the Ravenclaw common room like a thief.

Looking at his funny look, Harry couldn't help but kick him on the PG, which made him return to normal.

The two of them left the Ravenclaw Tower and came to the bathroom on the second floor. Since this was the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, no one was willing to come here normally.

After carefully confirming that no one was following him, Ron gently closed the bathroom door, turned back and said uncertainly to the empty bathroom:

"Harry, are you still there?"

Harry did not answer him, but took off his death cloak directly.

Ron was startled by Harry's sudden appearance. He instinctively took two steps back, but then came closer, stretched out his hand and touched Harry's body with a surprised look.

"Is it really you?"

"Of course it's me."

Harry smiled.

"This is really... great!"

Ron's eyes were wet, he said with a sob, and hugged Harry at the same time.

He hugged very tightly, which made Harry a little uncomfortable.

But Harry did not mean to struggle away. Like Hermione and Ron, he also missed his friends very much.

The two of them hugged each other like this. After an unknown amount of time, Ron suddenly let go of Harry, staring at him with a pair of red eyes and angrily said:

"Where have you been all this time? Do you know how worried we are about you?"

Facing Ron's questioning, Harry was silent.

He had experienced so many things since he came in, and he really didn't know whether he should tell Ron, because this would inevitably involve them.

He even had the idea of ​​clearing Ron's memory, which was very easy for him with the forgotten flashlight.

But Harry was just an immature teenager after all. The long wandering and high-intensity escape had put him on the verge of collapse.

Now he urgently needed a partner to vent his emotions.

So after struggling for a long time, Harry finally spoke up and told Ron all his experiences during this period and the reasons why he returned to Ravenclaw after a little modification.

After that, Harry silently observed Ron's reaction. Now his whole body of magic power had been mobilized. As long as Ron had the slightest sign of telling, he would immediately take action and subdue Ron.

In his opinion, snitching is the most normal thing. After all, in the eyes of others, what he is doing now is indeed very crazy.

However, he still overestimated Ron's normality.

After listening to it, Ron said with envy:

"This is so cool! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"Is... is it?"

Harry stuttered a little. Ron's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"Of course! I believe George and Fred will think so too!" Ron said, waving his arms excitedly, "By the way, the Deathly Hallows you mentioned, can it really fulfill wishes?"

"Of course! Of course! I spent a long time researching this."

Harry replied in a panic. As he said before, he modified the story a little bit. The modification was about the summoning of the ancient gods after the Deathly Hallows were collected.

He described the ancient gods as a being similar to Aladdin's lamp.

Perhaps to justify himself, Harry continued:

"Dumbledore and Mac were deceived. They mistakenly believed that the old god was a being that would destroy the world, so they did not take the initiative to collect the Deathly Hallows!"

"Cool!"

Looking at Ron's excited look of conviction, Harry turned his head humbly and changed the subject:

"Don't talk about this? Why did you go to the Ravenclaw common room? Could it be that... you also went to get close to the Ravenclaw students?" "Of course not

!"

Ron jumped up as if he was insulted and said:

"Hermione is studying in there, I just went to bring her lunch..."

"Oh!" Ron's expression suddenly became horrified, "What time is it now, Harry?"

"It's almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon."

"It's over! I forgot to bring Hermione lunch!"

Ron roared in fear and rushed out of the bathroom. Harry didn't have time to stop him, and finally could only put on the cloak of death and followed him.

The two ran all the way to the Ravenclaw common room. Although the place was still crowded, Hermione was no longer there.

So the two of them could only return to Gryffindor, but they didn't expect that Ron's face turned pale as soon as he entered the common room.

Harry followed his gaze and saw Hermione with her hands folded, staring at Ron with unfriendly eyes.

"Mr. Weasley! Can you please explain where you have been?"

Hermione said word by word.

Ron became even more flustered after hearing this. His eyes were erratic, as if he was looking for something, and at the same time, he said something that no one could understand.

Hermione sneered, shook her hair and turned around and ran away.

Ron and Harry immediately chased after him. The former seemed to have finally regained some reason and approached Hermione and said something quickly.

Hermione's footsteps immediately stopped, her eyes widened, her hands covered her mouth and looked around, as if she was shocked.

Harry didn't need to guess to know that this must be Ron who told Hermione about his existence.

In desperation, he gently touched Hermione's arm to indicate his existence.

Hermione's body shrank suddenly and was directly startled.

The three of them were in a stalemate in the lounge for a while, and finally decided to find a place where no one was around to talk it out.

On the way, Harry was a little nervous looking at the nervous Hermione and Ron.

He was not too surprised that Ron would support him.

After all, Ron was his best friend, and to be honest, his intelligence was a bit unfortunate, or a bit naive, so it was reasonable for him to believe his lies.

But Hermione was different.

Hermione was originally an old-fashioned person. Not to mention whether Hermione would believe his clumsy lies, Harry suspected that Hermione would drag him to see Black the moment she saw him.

This was something Harry could not see at all.

So the wand hidden in his sleeve was already in place. If the situation began to develop in a bad direction, he would act mercilessly.

However, the development of things was still beyond Harry's expectations. After experiencing a long-awaited reunion drama similar to Ron, Hermione did not show much doubt about his lies, and even did not persuade Harry to go back.

This surprised Harry a little.

"Hermione, don't you want to persuade me to go back?"

Harry asked cautiously.

Hermione rolled her eyes and said,

"Professor Snape died in battle and so many other things happened. If I ask you to go back now, will you go back?"

Harry was silent, and this silent response was obviously expected by Hermione.

She sighed and said,

"Harry, I'm sorry for what happened to you. But I think you'd better hug Black from time to time. He's been missing you so much during this period."

"I want to contact him too." Harry said with a gloomy expression, "but I can't, it will implicate him."

"Because of Mike? Excuse me, Mike is a good person. Black went to the Ministry of Magic to question him directly before, and he said that the guy who attacked you has been dealt with by him."

"What!?"

Hearing Ron's answer, Harry jumped up from his chair.

He knew very well that Victor and Mike had a close relationship before, so he was surprised by Mike's move.

To be honest, Harry was still somewhat happy, after all, Victor was the enemy who killed Professor Snape, but after thinking carefully, Harry found something wrong.

Now his goal is no longer to protect the Deathly Hallows, but to collect the Deathly Hallows.

So if you put aside your feelings and look at it from a completely rational perspective, Victor, who wants to collect the Deathly Hallows, is the friendly force that Harry deserves to fight for, while Michael is the hostile force.

Thinking of this, Harry felt a headache.

Although he has made up his mind to do anything to save those dead people, Harry still can't do such a bottom-line-breaking thing.

At this time, Hermione also completely digested the information given by Harry. She raised her head and said to Harry:

"So, the purpose of your return to Hogwarts this time is to find the entrance to the Masonic secret realm, right?"

Harry also came back to his senses and said:

"Yes, I can be sure that it is in Hogwarts..."

Harry quickly told Hermione and Ron his thoughts, and also told them the places he guessed that might be the entrance.

"I also think that the Ravenclaw Common Room is the most likely location. As for places like the Room of Requirement, I think you don't need to investigate."

"Why?"

Harry said puzzledly. He couldn't understand Hermione's statement.

"Remember that Hogwarts was occupied by Chris for a period of time?" Hermione continued, "During that time, his men had already conducted a carpet inspection of the entire Hogwarts. Those hidden places and secret passages were their key inspection targets, and the Room of Requirement was the focus of the focus. Even those elites of the Ministry of Magic couldn't find any clues there. I don't think we can."

Hearing this, Ron muttered unconvinced, but he stopped talking after being glared at by Hermione.

On the other side, Harry thought for a while and said:

"What you said makes sense. The only possible location is indeed the Ravenclaw common room. Then I will go and have a look tonight as planned."

"Wrong!" Hermione blinked and said, "Not you, but us!"

"You...you want to go with me too?"

Harry said in disbelief, but he was answered by two bright smiling faces.
