Chapter 4 The Fat Lady Is Attacked (3)

As he spoke, Yaxi and the others had arrived at the entrance of the lobby and turned to the lobby. The lobby was decorated with thousands of pumpkin lanterns, with cloud-like bats flying around, and many bright orange flags, like beautiful water snakes swimming lazily on the ceiling.

The food was very delicious. Even the Hermione Pettier sisters and Zhang Qiu ate a lot of sweet duck candy and could eat the second serving of each.

After dinner, there was a Hogwarts ghost show entertainment, where they popped out of the walls and tables to form a source of light, and even the headless Nick-Gryffindor's ghost--the clumsy hangman was a great success.

It was a pleasure that night, although Draco had yelled to the departing crowd, "Potter, Dementor greets you."

Ash and Hermione followed the Gryffindor crowd toward the Gryffindor Tower, but when they came to the corridor guarded by the portrait of Fat Lady, they saw a large group of students surrounding them.

"Why don't they go in?" Ron said curiously.

Everyone looked forward hard, and the portrait of the fat lady seemed to be tightly closed.

"Please give it," was Percy's voice, who was walking into the crowd pretentiously, "Why are everyone here? Have you all forgotten your slogan? - Sorry, I'm an excellent boy..."

Then there was a silence, first of all the people in front of them were silent, and then they reached the corridor like a cold current. When they heard Percy scream, their voice suddenly and sharp, "Go and call Professor Dumbledore, hurry!"

People turned their heads, and those standing behind them followed them and looked forward.

"What's the matter?" Ginny asked as soon as she arrived.

Soon, Professor Dumbledore came, and he walked through the crowd toward the portrait, and Ashi and the others followed him to see what was going on.

"Oh, god--" Hermione yelled by the arm of Ahi.

The fat lady disappeared from the portrait. The portrait was cut hard and the fragments scattered all over the ground. Most of the portrait had been torn apart and pulled away.

Dumbledore glanced at the destruction image in a hurry, his eyes were deep, and then turned to Professor McGonagall, Lupin and Snape who rushed over.

Dumbledore said, "We are going to find her. Professor McGonagall, please go to Mr. Filch immediately and tell him to search every portrait in the castle immediately."

"Good luck," said a giggling voice.

It was the naughty ghost of Pipi. He was leaning his head to look at the crowd and said happily. As usual, he would be happy to see others worried or see disasters.

"What do you mean? Pipi's ghost?" Dumbledore said calmly, Pipi's teeth grinned a little.

He didn't dare to mess with Dumbledore, and he immediately turned to a slick tone, which was not much better than his giggle.

"It's so miserable, Mr. Principal, I really don't want to see this. She is simply a bunch. Sir, I saw her running in the Feng Shui painting on the fourth floor, hiding in the woods, shouting something sadly." He said excitedly, "It's so pitiful" and he added another sentence without sincerity.

"Did she say who did it?" Dumbledore asked quietly.

"Oh, yes, principal." Pipi Ghost said as he took a big bomb in the air.

"He was so angry that she didn't let him in, you understand!" Pipi ghost slipped over and smiled between his legs. "That man has such a bad temper, Sirius Black!"

This sentence immediately caused a commotion among the students.

"What, that prisoner of Azkaban is in Hogwarts!"

"Damn it, how did he come in?"

Everyone was discussing fiercely, and Yaxi quietly glanced at Luping, and the two of them blinked at the same time and smiled.

...

Professor Dumbledore sent all the Gryffindor students back to the hall, and soon, students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin surrounded them, all of whom seemed confused.

"The teachers and I will search carefully in the castle." Professor Dumbledore said after seeing Professor McGonagall and Frieve come in and close the door. "For your safety, I'm afraid yours will be here for the night. I want the best students to guard the imports, with excellent boys and girls in charge. Report anything to me."

He added a word to Percy, who looked proud and pretentious.

"There is a situation that makes the Pipi ghost come to report." Professor Dumbledore paused for a moment, ready to leave the hall, and said, "Oh, you may want..."

With a casual wave of his magic wand, all the big tables flew to the edge of the hall and stood with the wall on his back. With another wave of the wand, many purple sleeping bags appeared on the floor of the hall.

"Sleep well," Dumbledore said, going out and closing the door.

The hall immediately boiled, and the students of Gryffindor were describing to others what had happened.

"Everyone goes to sleep in the sleeping bag!" Percy shouted, "Hurry up, don't say anything more, turn off the lights in ten minutes."

Yaxi dragged several sleeping bags together and called Hermione, Zhang Qiu, Pettier sisters, and Harry Ron followed.

After a few people lay down, Ron couldn't wait to say, "Do you think Barack is still in the castle?"

"It's obvious that Dumbledore thinks he might be there." Harry said

"I'm lucky he'll go look for it tonight, you understand!" Hermione said to Harry, "The night we were not in the tower..."

"I think he forgot the time when he ran away," Ron said. "He probably didn't know it was Halloween, otherwise he wouldn't have broken into it."

Hermione looked a little scared, and Yaxi took the opportunity to go over and put her shoulders. Under the dim candle light, she couldn't see clearly. Although Hermione was a little embarrassed and angry, she did not slap Yaxi. This made Yaxi very happy.

At Yaxi's feet, Dahei was lying quietly.

Everyone around Ahi asked the same question to each other, “How did he come in?”

"Maybe he will become transparent," said a Ravenclaw student, "only when the air is thin."

"Pretending someone else is likely," said a fifth-grade Hufflepuff student.

"He might have flew in," said Dean Thomas.

"Honestly, am I the only student who has read the history books of Hogwarts?" Hermione said.

"Except Ashi!" Ron said, "but why?"

"Because the castle is mainly protected by the wall," said Hermione. "There are all kinds of magic on the wall to prevent people from sneaking in. You can't be transparent here. In my opinion, he must have come to deceive the dementors in disguise. They guard every entrance, and they can see if he flew over, and Felch knew all the secret entrances, and they would block those people..."

"Now it's time to turn off the lights." Percy shouted, "I want you guys to start sleeping and stop talking!"
