They put on their robes, picked up their wands, and tiptoed through the rooms in the castle.

Ron kicked someone's suitcase that he had forgotten to put back in the dormitory, making a dull sound.

Just as he was about to scream, Rigg and Harry, who were always on guard, tightly covered their mouths.

Feeling that he had calmed down, Rigg and Harry put down their hands and continued walking down.

Go down the spiral staircase and enter the Gryffindor common room.

There were still some remaining fires flickering in the fireplace, and the armchairs seemed to have turned into black shadows.

"Don't let me know which idiot didn't take the suitcase."

Ron spoke angrily in the light of the fireplace.

His eyes were sparkling and full of tears.

Rigg gave Ron a thumbs up in admiration, which made Ron feel much better.

He kicked the hard box wrapped in dragon skin without saying a word.

I'm such a man.

Ron was extremely satisfied with himself!

As they were about to reach the portrait aisle, they heard someone speaking on the chair nearest to them.

"I can't believe you actually did this."

A lamp was lit with a pop.

The person in the chair is Hermione Granger.

She was wearing a pink nightgown, her long curly hair was tied into a high ponytail behind her back, and her fair face was full of expressions of disapproval.

Hermione frowned and looked at the three people who were tiptoeing around.

"Why are you here again?" Ron really didn't expect this annoying person to be so persistent. "Go back to sleep!"

"I almost told your brother," Hermione shot back.

"Percy Weasley - he is a prefect and he will stop you and your duel."

Harry couldn't believe there were such nosy people.

"Let's go," he whispered to Ron and Rigg.

Rigg thought for a while, "Malfoy almost caused Harry to be expelled. Can you forgive Malfoy for causing you to be expelled from Hogwarts?"

Harry really didn't want to get involved with Hermione, he was eager to duel with Malfoy.

If he goes late, Malfoy will definitely laugh at him for being a coward, Harry thought.

He directly pushed away the portrait of the Fat Lady and climbed in through the hole.

Rigg motioned for Ron to go first, while he looked at Hermione.

Hermione looked at the only opponent who could compete with her academically.

Well, she actually lost miserably.

Because of the mutual sympathy between the top students, she was still willing to listen to what Rigg had to say.

Hermione gasped at the thought of being expelled from Hogwarts. This was an outcome she absolutely could not accept.

Seeing Hermione's silence, Rigg continued: "The same goes for Harry. It's not that he wants to violate school rules, it's Malfoy who has been targeting him."

Ron waved to Rigg from the opposite side, and Harry also whispered to Rigg to come out quickly.

Rigg could only say goodbye to Hermione and crawl into the hole.

It's just that if Hermione gave up so easily, she wouldn't be Hermione.

Hermione followed Rigg and climbed into the cave entrance, like an angry female dragon.

He lowered his voice and yelled at them: "But now Harry has not been expelled. Instead, all the points and gems in Gryffindor's House Cup will be deducted by your night tour."

Thinking about the extra points she got for studying so hard, Hermione became even more angry.

"I don't want Slytherin to win the House Cup again, and I don't want you to lose all the points I got from Professor McGonagall with the transfer spell."

"Go back quickly, don't follow us. You will also be deducted points soon!" Ron finally recovered from the pain in his feet, and his mind was filled with the duel for a while.

"Okay, but I'm warning you Ron, you are so..."

As for what Tai is like, they don't know.

Rigg, Harry and Ron were already trotting.

After struggling with Hermione for so long, I don't know if they are late.

Hermione turned to the portrait of the Fat Lady and wanted to get back in, but found that the painting she was facing was empty.

This is the only way to enter Gryffindor House. Only the portrait of the fat lady who is responsible for guarding the door opens the swinging door to enter the Gryffindor lounge.

The Fat Lady went out late at night for a visit, and Hermione was locked outside the Gryffindor common room.

"Oh, what should I do now?" Hermione said to herself in confusion.

"That's your problem." Ron said not far away, "We have to go, we're going to be late."

Look at the dark corridor and the empty portrait.

There was a cold wind blowing in the corridor from time to time, making it look eerie.

Hermione shuddered, gritted her teeth, and ran in the direction where Rigg and the others left.

Before they reached the end of the corridor, Hermione caught up with them.

"I'll go with you." she said.

"You're not allowed to go." Harry was going crazy.

Originally, he was not completely sure of defeating Malfoy.

It's great now, but there are still many viewers he doesn't like.

What if he really loses, Harry thought sadly.

Probably he will never be able to raise his head again.

"Did you think I would stand outside here, waiting for Filch to catch me?" At this moment, Hermione's cleverness came back.

"If he finds the three of us, I will tell him the truth and say that I was trying to dissuade you."

"You're quite brave," Ron said loudly.

"Keep your voice down!" Rigg said sternly, signaling everyone to shut up.

"I heard a sound."

It's a whirring sound.

"Is it Mrs. Norris?" Ron asked breathlessly, squinting his eyes and looking into the darkness.

It's not Mrs. Norris, it's Neville.

He was curled up on the floor, sleeping soundly.

But as soon as they came near, he suddenly woke up.

"Thank God you found me! I've been out here for hours." Neville was so happy.

He thought he was going to sleep on the ground all night.

"I can't remember the new password and can't go to bed."

"Keep your voice down, Neville. The password is 'Pig Nose'." Hermione said unhappily.

"But it's of no use to you now. The fat lady has gone somewhere, and I am also locked out."

"How's your arm?" Rigg asked.

"It's okay," Neville said, raising his arms to show them.

"Madam Pomfrey cured it in the blink of an eye."

Harry was relieved to hear that Neville was fine.

Then he looked around anxiously, fearing that Filch, the administrator of Hogwarts, might pop out from somewhere.

Filch has been at Hogwarts for at least 15 years, and has topped the list of the most hated teachers for young wizards in this decade.

Before they entered school, they had heard Filch's name from the twins George and Fred.

He also has a scrawny cat named Mrs. Norris who follows him around.

Mrs. Norris will always be wandering around Hogwarts Castle. Whenever she finds a little wizard who is mischievous and violates school rules, she will call Filch.

If Filch catches a young wizard who violates school rules, he will take him to his office filled with torture devices and punish him with points deductions, confinement, etc.

So no little wizard wants to be caught by Filch.

It's not a big deal to deduct points. If you really go to Filch's office, you won't want to go there again.
