Chapter 117 There Is No Wrong Nickname

"Scarhead, what's wrong with you today?"

Because he doesn't have to read books every day, Ron has been in a good mood recently. He put his arm around his friend's shoulders and teased, "You keep staring at Fish. Do you want to help him with his homework like those girls?"

"Believe me, if you really do this, they will tear you to pieces."

Ron seemed to think of some bad memories and shuddered.

"You never want to know how terrible a crazy woman is."

Harry thought of his Aunt Petunia and shuddered as well, and said confidently, "In fact, I knew it a long time ago."

After speaking, Harry realized that the topic was diverted by his friend and immediately added, "I didn't want to argue with them about this, but... um... we might be in trouble again."

Harry hesitated for a while, thinking of the class friendship they had established before, he decided to tell Ron about Fish and let him help think of a solution together.

"...That's what happened."

After finding a secluded place to tell the story, Harry covered his head helplessly, "Help me think about what excuse I should use to get the invisibility cloak back from Fish."

"Uh..." Ron felt a little hairy all over when he heard Harry mention spiders. He twisted his body uncomfortably and said indifferently, "It's okay to just hit spiders, right? Spiders are really annoying."

"Don't forget, that's the Forbidden Forest! Can there be ordinary spiders in the Forbidden Forest?!" Harry lowered his voice and Remind: "And Fish also said that there are a lot of them, and he was chased before... What if Fish accidentally misses?"

Ron took it seriously. He thought for a while, "Why not just tell Fish that you want to use it yourself?"

"But I can't use it all the time... Besides, with Fish's temper, what if he doesn't even use the invisibility cloak and goes to find those spiders?"

This is where Harry is struggling. If he doesn't take the invisibility cloak back, he is worried that Fish will be in danger. If he takes the invisibility cloak back, it may put him in more danger.

"Then... shall we tell Professor McGonagall?"

"You are crazy! How can we betray Fish?!" Harry widened his eyes, "He protected me in front of Snape before!"

"Then..." Ron hesitated for a moment, but still suggested: "Why don't we try to discuss it with Miss Mousetooth?"

Harry's face suddenly showed an embarrassed expression... When he knew that Fish often went to the trapdoor, Hermione's excited performance was still vivid in his mind.

Besides, Ron just mentioned...

"You know how scary a crazy woman is... If you tell Hermione, she will definitely go crazy."

Harry said to Ron firmly.

"Then I have no choice..."

Ron actually had this concern, so when he saw Harry's objection, he could only spread his hands helplessly, saying that he was powerless.

"I see, no wonder I haven't seen Fish wandering around the castle at night recently, it turns out you lent him the invisibility cloak."

Just when the two were scratching their heads and didn't know what to do, a gentle and familiar voice sounded behind them, scaring Harry and Ron.

"Dum, dum, dum, Professor Dumbledore!"

The two turned around in horror and found that Dumbledore had appeared behind them at some point, with a calm expression on his face, and no emotion could be seen at all.

In fact, Dumbledore has found something wrong recently. Although Fish still goes to the kitchen every day, often brings food to Fluffy, and even often goes to Professor McGonagall to let her look over his homework, he seems to disappear in the second half of the night.

Dumbledore usually has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have the time to stare at Fish all day long. In addition, the weather was cold some time ago, and Fish also reduced the time he went out to wander. So although Dumbledore felt a little strange, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought that he missed Fish when he went out for a walk at night.

If he hadn't seen Harry and Ron sneaking around today, he would have eavesdropped curiously and had no idea that Fish had sneaked out for a long time and went to fight with the Acromantula!

To be honest, when Dumbledore gave the invisibility cloak to Harry, he thought about whether Fish would use it, but he thought at the time that there was no one to stop Fish when he was wandering at night, so there was no need to use the invisibility cloak. In addition, he hadn't tried to sneak out of the castle for a long time, so Dumbledore relaxed his vigilance.

As a result, the little guy's thoughts were just like a cat's, and it was impossible to guess.

Dumbledore, who was lost in thought, looked very solemn, especially when he thought that there would be danger if Fish and the Acromantula fought, he faintly exuded a kind of oppressive aura.

Harry and Ron were scared.

"Professor Dumbledore, I... I..."

Harry's mind was blank, and he was speechless. Ron, who was standing beside him, dared not move a single step under the pressure of the blue eyes.

Dumbledore came back to his senses, restrained his momentum, and showed a kind smile to the two of them.

Harry and Ron were in a trance for a moment. The temperament changed too quickly, as if the majestic version of Dumbledore who had just suffocated them was just an illusion.

"Friends should help each other, right?" Dumbledore winked at the two who were still in a trance, and changed from a kind old man to a playful old man, "I will keep an eye on Fish, but keep it a secret from him."

This continuous change made Harry and Ron unable to react at all. They nodded woodenly, and it was not until Dumbledore left for a long time that the two slowly regained their consciousness.

"What does Professor Dumbledore mean? Could it be that Fish was actually being watched by Professor Dumbledore when he was wandering at night?"

Ron thought of a possibility, but he was not sure, so he asked Harry for confirmation.

Harry, who had been followed by Dumbledore, confirmed Ron's guess, "It's unlikely that he was always watching. Professor Dumbledore is the headmaster. How can he have so much time to keep an eye on Fish? He should just pay attention to a few special places in the school... For example, the room where the Mirror of Erised was placed."

Harry shrugged his shoulders, told Ron about him going to see the mirror alone, and then meeting Dumbledore.

"You didn't tell me this before!" Ron looked at him with some dissatisfaction, and then said, "Then Professor Dumbledore knew about Firth entering the trapdoor a long time ago?"

"It is very likely..."

When mentioning the trapdoor, Harry thought of Snape's attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and suddenly realized that if their speculation was true, the Philosopher's Stone would never be stolen.

"That is to say, even if Snape found a way to deal with Fluffy and Quirrell, he would still be discovered by Dumbledore who was watching secretly. We don't need to worry at all!" Harry slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.

"So, he just watched Snape trying every way to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and even didn't expose it even when he was bitten by a dog? This is too bad taste..."

Ron racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't find the right words to evaluate the principal's actions, and finally agreed with Firth's statement.

"No wonder Firth called him a bad old man."

After discovering that the Philosopher's Stone could never be lost and that Professor Dumbledore was watching Firth, Harry, who was originally a little worried, completely relaxed.

In addition, he no longer had to go to the library every day to read books, and Harry suddenly felt that the whole world was suddenly bright.

"Let's go! Red No. 4!" Harry put his arm around Ron's shoulders, "Let's go back to the dormitory and play a couple of crackling cards!"
