Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

Chapter 181 The Hole of the Whomping Willow

"Ignore her!"

After class, Ron held back Hermione and Harry who saw Jiang Li wanting to greet her.

"Ron, we are friends with Li." Harry frowned and looked in Jiang Li's direction.

"Friend? Will my friend let Malfoy bully your pet!" Ron's voice became sharper. "In order to protect Malfoy, she even used the Disarming Curse on me!"

Ron was so angry that he wanted to jump, a big black dog flew past him, threw him to the ground, grabbed his collar and dragged him into the tree hole under the Whomping Willow.

"Sirius? Why did Newt let him out?" Jiang Li noticed the movement over there, muttered and ran towards the bewildered Harry and Hermione.

Harry and Hermione tried to get close to the tree hole, but the waving branches of the Whomping Willow blocked their way. Harry tried to force his way through, but the thick branches slammed into his back, and he moaned With a sound, he fell heavily to the ground.

Hermione wanted to help Harry up, but the branches of the Whomping Willow also knocked her to the ground, and saw that the branches were about to hit Harry and Hermione who fell to the ground again.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Jiang Li raised his magic wand and cast a petrification spell at the Whomping Willow, and the waving branches immediately froze in mid-air.

"Merlin." Hermione looked at the whole petrified Whomping Willow with an incredulous expression on her face, "Attacking the Whomping Willow with a spell will result in points being deducted, or even expulsion, Li!"

This is what Jiang Li admires Hermione the most. No matter what happens, the first thing she thinks of is whether she will be expelled from the school. Maybe this is Xueba.

"Anyway, no one sees it now, don't worry about it, let's go save Ron!" Harry took the lead into the tree hole.

Hermione and Jiang Li immediately followed.

But what they didn't know was that their actions were completely seen by Newt and Lupine who came out for a walk together.

What they didn't expect was that the tree hole was not a simple big hole, but a dark and deep underground passage, and they didn't know where it would lead.

At first, relying on the faint skylight shining in from the entrance of the cave, they could barely see the potholed road in the tunnel, but it got darker and darker as they walked in, and they even began to lose sight of each other.

Harry took out his wand with ease and used the fluorescent flashing spell: "I often use this spell at Petunia's house, they don't allow me to read magic-related books, so I can only hide under the quilt at night and read with fluorescent flashing. "

"You're miserable." Hermione looked at Harry sympathetically.

Jiang Li thought to himself, as long as Sirius cleansed him of his grievances, then Harry could be with him in the future, and he would no longer have to be abused by the Dursleys.

I just don't know if Dumbledore said that to maintain the protective spell left by Harry's mother, he needs to stay with his relatives, whether the godfather counts.

"By the way, Li, I saw Peter wandering around the Hogwarts castle from the Marauder's Map one night." Harry walked in the front with a glowing wand, "I followed his direction on the map." walk..."

"Then did you see him in person? What would Ron be doing then?" Jiang Li asked eagerly, before she even waited for Harry to finish speaking.

"Ron is sleeping in the bedroom."

Jiang Li rolled his eyes, Ron must be too big-hearted, he doesn't care about his pet mouse running around, look how Neville treats his toad.

Harry continued: "I didn't meet Peter, but I met Snape and Professor Lupine."

"Gryffindor was deducted again?" Jiang Li seemed to know the result of Harry's night tour.

"Yes." Harry pursed his lips and continued walking, "Professor Lupine confiscated my Marauder's Map, he criticized my behavior of traveling at night during this dangerous time, and said that Peter is dead It may have been years since Peter's name came up because of an error on the map."

"Harry, that's not your Marauder's Map, that's Professor Lupine's."

Jiang Li's words made Harry stop suddenly, he turned around with a puzzled look on his face.

"Harry, that map was made by your father and Sirius, Professor Lupine, and Peter, they would have been very good friends at school, the four of them were always doing mischief, like... . . like Fred and George."

It's not that Harry didn't know what Jiang Li said. Lupine also told him that he was his father's friend.

"The Marauder's Map can't go wrong. There is only one possibility for him to say that, and that is that he doesn't want you to go to Peter, he is afraid that you will be in danger." Jiang Li continued to talk to him, "Look, Harry, in fact, you Your parents left you a lot, your uncle, your godfather, there are still many people who love you."

"Ah."

Harry's knuckles holding the wand were a little white, and his nasal voice was a little heavy. He nodded heavily, turned around and continued walking forward. He had a premonition that there must be a very important person waiting for him at the end.

They walked for a long time, and finally felt the faint light, it should be almost to the exit.

When they climbed out along the dilapidated stairs, they saw a dilapidated scene in front of them. They were in a long-abandoned house, full of dust and thick cobwebs, and the sunlight was difficult to penetrate through the gaps in the windows. Come in.

"Screaming Shack!" Hermione recognized it immediately, "The Whomping Willow tree hole actually leads to the Screaming Shack!"

"I hope this place is not haunted, let's go find Ron, come on." Harry took the lead in running up the stairs, holding the handle of the stairs.

Jiang Li noticed that there wasn't much dust on the handrails, and there were scattered footprints on the stairs, because the light was too dim, Harry and Hermione didn't notice.

"Merlin, someone help me."

When they reached the third floor, they heard Ron's voice coming from the room on the right.

Hermione didn't even think about it, and immediately pushed Harry away and rushed into the door.

"Ron!"

Hermione rushed over and hugged Ron who was shivering in the corner of the sofa: "Thanks Merlin, luckily you're fine!"

The straight man Ron pulled Hermione away and looked at Harry behind Hermione, with an expression on his face that was worse than crying. He pointed to the wooden door behind Harry with trembling fingers.

"Hurry up! This is a trap, that's not a dog, he's an Animagus! He's with Li! Get away from her! He's Xiao Hei!"

There were marks of dog paws on the floor, spreading all the way to the back of the door. Harry followed the marks and looked over there, and saw a handsome man with long black hair standing there, but his black hair The windbreaker was a little messy.
