"Books in the restricted area need the professor's written permission to be opened, otherwise it will trigger the alarm. I thought it was common sense." Daphne said faintly.
Harry was silent.
Is this really common sense? Why has no one ever told me?
Then Harry thought about which classmates he often played with, and he was relieved.
Whether it was Ron, Seamus, Fred, or George, they didn't have the habit of hanging out in the library, so it was normal that they didn't know some common sense about the library.
Daphne sighed. She was really tricked by Harry. She actually broke a sweat in winter.
At this time, a low conversation came from a distance.
"Professor, I'm sure someone broke into the restricted area of the library just now."
"I know, but it doesn't matter."
Damn, Filch is chasing him! And judging from the sound, Snape is also with him!
Harry and Daphne's faces changed at the same time.
Harry subconsciously turned his head and looked at the door and the lock on the door. An idea appeared in his mind.
"Alaho--"
Daphne was quick to press down his wand.
"Is your head for a decoration?" Daphne felt that she was about to faint from the idiot beside her.
Not to mention whether there would be danger behind the door, what would you do with the door lock after you went in? Filch and Snape would have to be blind to avoid the click sound or the unlocked lock.
"Is your invisibility cloak pay-per-use? Put it on!" She quickly picked up Harry's invisibility cloak from the ground, and the two of them wrapped the cloak around themselves.
Less than ten seconds after the two put on the cloak, Filch and Professor Snape appeared together.
Filch ran to the locked door in two steps, and said to Snape loudly as if to take credit: "The door lock is intact, professor, don't worry!"
Daphne and Harry huddled in the corner together, holding their breath, fearing that they would be discovered by the two because of their loud breathing.
Snape looked at the locked door gloomily and nodded.
The three-headed dog behind the door was a very good guard, and even he could not get over it and enter under the trapdoor.
"It seems that I'm overthinking it, but I really think that a spell should be added to the lock, so that once it is opened, it will emit a sharp explosion or something like that. I don't understand why Professor Dumbledore rejected my proposal."
"He may have his considerations."
The two left.
Harry and Daphne didn't poke their heads out from the invisibility cloak until the footsteps of Snape and Filch could no longer be heard. Harry felt that his back was soaked with sweat.
"Fortunately, you didn't open the door rashly, otherwise we would both be dead." Daphne was glad from the bottom of her heart that she stopped Harry's stupid operation, otherwise they would be locked in a room with the three-headed dog. Compared with the three-headed dog, Snape was not so scary.
Only then did Harry realize that this was the right corridor on the third floor that was forbidden to enter. He and Daphne almost broke the rules set by Dumbledore.
"Yes, Snape will definitely find out." Harry was also a little scared, but fortunately, Daphne was calm enough.
Seeing that Harry seemed to have no idea of the seriousness of the problem, Daphne decided to open Harry's eyes.
"So you've never wondered what's behind that door?"
Harry had no interest at first, but when Daphne asked him this, his heart suddenly itched.
"What is it?"
"Do you want to open the door and take a look?" Daphne felt that with the defensive spell attached to the necklace, it was more than enough to block the three-headed dog's attack. They could take a quick look and then close the door.
Of course, her biggest confidence was that the three-headed dog was the guard here, and the guard would not leave the post at will, so at most the two of them would just run away. Based on the information she found, Daphne was sure that a trained three-headed dog would not rush out of the room to chase them.
Harry swallowed his saliva and admitted that he was tempted.
After the two reached an agreement, Daphne took Harry to the door. Just as she was about to use her wand to unlock the door, she suddenly had an idea.
"Harry, let's put on the invisibility cloak?" She made a suggestion.
Although Harry didn't quite understand Daphne's intention, he still put the invisibility cloak on the two of them out of trust in her.
Daphne put her wand against the keyhole, and a stream of magic flowed out. The lock tongue made a crisp sound and the lock was opened.
The door slowly opened, and the three-headed dog behind the door was instantly alert. Its three big noses twitched quickly, and its six small eyes rolled around, looking at the position where Harry and Daphne were standing.
It felt that someone was standing outside the door, but it could not see the existence of this person. For the first time in its life, the three-headed dog was so confused.
In the end, it remembered the owner's instructions and decided to stay put and never leave this place.
Of course, if the smell came close to here, it would attack without hesitation, even if there seemed to be nothing there.
Harry was stunned by the scene in front of him: the three-headed big dog filled all the space from the ceiling to the floor, and the saliva was like a sticky rope, hanging from the yellowed dog teeth and dripping on the ground. Its six eyes stared straight in the direction where they were standing, and its eyes almost pierced their chests.
Harry now even wanted to kneel down to Daphne - she really saved his life.
Daphne gently closed the wooden door and locked it again. During this time, the three-headed dog did not move.
For the three-headed dog, the strange guy outside the door leaving tactfully was the best choice. It did not want to cause trouble. It just wanted to complete the task left by its master.
"Now you know what's inside, right?" Daphne looked at Harry with great pride. The shocked look on his face made her very happy.
More importantly, she had just observed that the three-headed dog was standing on a trapdoor. Obviously, the secret that Rhys wanted her to investigate was under the trapdoor.
"So why did Dumbledore keep such a thing in the school?!" After Harry came to his senses, he could not help but confide in the only intelligent creature around.
Daphne was silent for a moment, and could not suppress the desire to complain in her heart: "Didn't you see what it was standing on? It was standing on a trapdoor. It was obviously guarding something."
She was sure that Harry's head was a decoration, and his eyes were also decorations!
After hanging out with Rhys for a long time, Daphne was no longer able to adapt to the stupidity of other little wizards.
"Guarding something... Oh!" Harry's eyebrows twitched suddenly.
His expression change did not escape Daphne's eyes, and she immediately smelled the clue.
"You know what is hidden in there, right?" She asked, staring into Harry's eyes.
