(I'm still a bit drunk from new year's celebration, so I'll give you more chapters later once I truly wake up)
The reply from Charlie Weasley came sooner than expected.
In the letter, he praised his younger brother Ron for his correct decision.
Then he told them that a week later, on Saturday night, his friends would be waiting on the astronomy tower at Hogwarts.
…
The next week.
The idiot trio were happy because they could go to Hagrid's hut to play with the baby dragon Noberta every day. (They can't be called the Golden Trio anymore because they lack the brain of the group, which leaves them as just 3 particularly stupid kids)
Lucas is still the same, working hard at accumulating points.
The emeralds in the Slytherin hourglass have increased a lot, and the students from other houses, every time they pass by the hourglass will show a frustrated expression.
Everyone seems to have decided that this year's House Cup will continue to be won by Slytherin.
The only one who might feel pain is Miss Hermione, because she keeps working hard trying to catch up.
…
"Oh~ Merlin, why does a week last so long? You don't know how painful it is to keep secrets in fear every day."
Hermione frowned and complained to Lucas beside her.
These days she was always worried that Hagrid's dragon would cause trouble.
Fortunately, the day finally came to send the dragon away.
Lucas took the little witch's hand and motioned for her to sit beside him.
"Relax, nothing happened this week!"
"It should be said that you haven't seen anything happen. Have you even visited the dragon this week?"
Seeing Lucas shake his head, Hermione said angrily, "She's grown to the size of a big dog, and it's only been a week, Merlin. Poor Fang is doing everything he can to stay far away from Norberta."
Lucas, who has never been interested in dragons, was taken aback after hearing Hermione's description.
"It grows so fast?"
The second reaction is to think of the phrase "every dragon is full of treasures".
"If Professor Snape knew about this, the poor baby dragon would probably be dismembered."
"What? What does it have to do with Professor Snape?"
"nothing!"
Night fell imperceptibly.
When the appointed time came, Lucas and Draco left their common room together, and not long after the two left, another thin figure left as well.
Lucas didn't stop the little mouse behind them.
On the contrary, he let him go so everyone will be caught tonight. Otherwise, how can they go to the Forbidden Forest as he wishes?
They need the help of this little mouse.
Lucas looked beside him and shook his head helplessly.
Since dinner, Draco has been absent-minded.
When he first came to school, Draco was not this reluctant to leave his parents but now he's like this for a simple dragon.
The two first came to the Ravenclaw Tower where Hermione has been waiting for a long time.
"You guys are so late, where are Harry and Ron?"
"The two of them are responsible for bringing Norberta to the top of the tower, let's go first!"
Because Hagrid's size is too conspicuous, he is not suitable for such a covert operation, so he could only stay in his hut and grieve alone.
The scenery tonight is very beautiful, with a bright moon in the sky and stars surrounding it.
Lucas stood shoulder to shoulder with Hermione, looking up at the stars.
"It's so beautiful! If I draw this astronomical picture, Professor Sinistra will be willing to give me an O."
"My lady, please don't talk about school work, you are spoiling the fun under such beautiful scenery."
Lucas looked helplessly at Miss Know-it-all beside him.
'Is she allergic to romance?'
Hermione smiled mischievously, she herself felt incredible.
With such a beautiful scenery, the first thing she thought of was astronomy homework!
Hermione took the blond boy's hand and said, "Sorry sir, I won't do it next time."
Draco was left feeling like a third wheel completely forgotten by those two, who were too busy roleplaying to pay attention to him.
He looked towards the entrance to the top of the tower several times, complaining why Harry was taking so long to arrive.
"This box is really heavy!"
Ron complained from the entrance.
Immediately afterwards, the figures of Harry and Ron suddenly appeared on the top of the tower after taking off Harry's cloak.
Compared to Draco who rushed directly to the wooden crate, Lucas looked at the invisibility cloak falling to the ground.
"Harry, can I see your invisibility cloak?"
"Sure!"
Harry picked up the Invisibility Cloak and placed it in Lucas' hand.
The first reaction to the invisibility cloak is that it is light, very light in weight.
Lucas strokes the fabric carefully.
Definitely something that is not currently on the market, or something that he has never seen in his cognition.
Worthy of being one of the Deathly Hallows.
[It is detected that the host is holding the invisibility cloak, and a series of achievements will be opened: Three Deathly Hallows, collect three complete and undamaged Deathly Hallows, and you will get a chance to draw the diamond lottery once.]
[Note: The collection referred to here requires the Deathly Hallows to recognize the host as the master, so that it can be considered as an effective collection.]
Lucas frowned, and returned the cloak to Harry.
This is yet another long-running series achievement that took a long time to complete.
At the very least, during the early stage it is absolutely impossible to complete.
Charlie Weasley and his friends finally made it to the top of the tower.
Seeing this older Weasley flying from a distance swaggering on a broom, Lucas confirmed his thoughts even more.
Without Dumbledore's permission it would be impossible for outsiders to come in like this.
They gave the wooden crate to them and under the reluctant eyes of Harry and others, Charlie and his friends flew towards the distance.
The young dragon was sent away and the idiot trio seemed to have lost their beloved treasure.
Along the way, no one spoke.
Lucas stopped when he passed the bathroom on the second floor.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked softly and the eyes of the rest followed suit.
Lucas shook his head: "It's nothing, I just heard from the seniors that there is a very interesting ghost in this semi-abandoned girls' bathroom."
"You mean Moaning Myrtle?"
Hermione immediately thought about who Lucas was talking about while the others looked confused.
"Wait, who is Moaning Myrtle?"
"It's me! I am Moaning Myrtle!"
A shout came from the side and a ghost wearing the school robes of Ravenclaw emerged from the wall.
She circled around the crowd and approached Lucas shyly: "Hi, can you tell me your name?"
"Lucas Grindelwald, nice to meet you!"
Hermione turned her head slightly displeased.
She also doesn't know why even a ghost is trying to flirt with him!
"Oh, Grindelwald Grindelwald!"
Myrtle said Lucas' last name as she spun around.
Suddenly, her expression froze, she looked at Lucas in horror and shouted: "Grindelwald!?"
Seeing Lucas nod, Myrtle immediately went back to her bathroom.
Immediately afterwards, everyone heard the sound of heavy objects falling into the water.
Others don't understand what's going on, but Lucas knew it in his heart.
Myrtle died in a bathroom in 1946 and Grindelwald lost the duel to Dumbledore in 1945.
That is to say, Myrtle has seen or heard about Grindelwald ravaging Europe.
"What's wrong with her?"
"It's okay, maybe she suddenly remembered something else."
Lucas looked back at Harry after answering Hermione's question.
"Have you heard any strange noises lately?"
"Strange noise?"
Harry thought about it carefully, then shook his head in denial.
Then everyone continued to move forward and Lucas glanced back at the bathroom.
The exploration achievements of the four houses is still unfinished.
He was wondering whether to go in and get the achievement points while the basilisk was still sleeping.
But unfortunately, he doesn't speak Parseltongue.
Lucas frowned slightly, and finally decided to find time to try it out.
Maybe learning the pronunciation like in the movie can open the secret room.
"Lucas, did you hear what I said?"
Hearing Harry's voice Lucas finally came back to himself.
"What?"
"I want to ask you, do you know who Nicolas Flamel is?"
Lucas turned to look at Draco: "Didn't you see the Christmas present I gave you?"
Draco shook his head embarrassingly.
"In fact, I was reading "Guide to Raising Dragons" during the holidays"
Although he expected it, Lucas couldn't help but glare at him.
"It's recorded in the "Compendium of Famous Wizards of Modern Times" that I sent to Draco for christmas."
"Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist of the 14th century, is the creator of the Philosopher's Stone, and he has lived to be more than six hundred years old!"
"Oh Merlin's beard, over six hundred years old!"
Ron was marveling at the other's age.
And Harry noticed the Philosopher's Stone mentioned by Lucas.
'Philosopher's Stone, Snape must want to get the Philosopher's Stone!'
Harry ignored everyone's doubts and started talking to himself about the cause and effect.
"During the Christmas holiday, I used the invisibility cloak to travel at night. At that time, I met Snape who was threatening Professor Quirrell. Later, Professor Quirrell hid in the empty classroom and cried."
"We already know that Harry!" Ron reminded him.
"Later, I went to the corridor on the third floor. Guess what I saw there?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"There was a trap door under the feet of a huge dog with three heads."
"I couldn't figure out what the three-headed dog was guarding until Lucas mentioned the Philosopher's Stone."
"Before school started, when Hagrid and I went to Gringotts, Hagrid took something and said it was a task assigned by Dumbledore. That thing must be the Philosopher's Stone."
"I also saw that Snape's leg was bitten by something, he must have been trying to get in the trapdoor and got bitten by the three-headed dog.
"Perhaps, even the mysterious thief who broke into Gringotts was Snape in disguise. The purpose of everything is the Philosopher's Stone that can make people live forever."
clap clap!
Lucas couldn't help applauding Harry.
Good guy, this analysis is exactly the same as Dumbledore's design.
Dumbledore was probably too happy to sleep at this moment.
His savior displayed extraordinary talents in front of everyone.
Now he just needs to wait until Quirrell is defeated and the character of the savior will be completely tied to Harry.
But, it's just that poor Professor Snape was wronged once again.
"Merlin! It's unbelievable!. Five people, five students wandering around the castle without sleeping at night after curfew."
As soon as everyone reached the fork in the road, they heard Professor McGonagall's voice from ahead, and she looked very angry.
Only Lucas noticed that the Professor seemed to be waiting for them here.
"When I received the report letter, I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true. You are violating the school rules."
"I am so disappointed in you, Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, 20 points from Gryffindor, 20 points from each of you."
Others did not escape the fate of being deducted points.
Professor McGonagall looked at Lucas and said: "Mr. Grindelwald, I always thought you were a steady and good student, but you are messing around with them as well!"
"I'll deduct 40 points from Slytherin House, 20 points from you and Mr. Malfoy."
Professor McGonagall turned to Hermione one last time.
The brave Miss Granger of yore has been hiding behind Lucas.
She was like a good student who made a mistake for the first time and was caught, and she was too shy to face it.
"Miss Granger, I need to remind you that you are a lady and it is very dangerous to leave your common room at night, so 20 points will be deducted from Ravenclaw."
Just like that Professor McGonagall, in just a few words, a total of 100 points were deducted in total.
This made everyone except Lucas bow their heads in shame.
Professor McGonagall's stern gaze swept over the five of them.
"In addition, you will have detention under the leadership of the gamekeeper Hagrid. This is a punishment for your violation of school rules."
Lucas' eyes lit up hearing this, the opportunity he's been waiting for has finally come!.
