Chapter 118 Hey, Come Out!
Her intuition told Hermione that Rolf was in Gryffindor Tower, maybe even hiding in a small corner of the lounge, secretly watching her.
The girl wanted to shout:
"Hey, come out!"
But there are other students in the lounge. If you shout like this, you might be regarded as a madman.
Hermione looked left and right until Professor McGonagall rushed to the lounge and drove the girls back to their dormitories, but she could not find Rolf.
Hermione climbed the stairs, casting one last glance into the common room, before smuggling the Bowtruckle into her dormitory.
Rolf was also speechless. His consciousness was attached to Bowtruckle. Facing Hermione, this small body was like a little monster facing Ultraman. He was tightly controlled.
Hermione quickly lay back on the bed, closed the curtains, and took out the Bowtruckle again and placed it in front of her face.
The girl rubbed Rolf's head, as if teasing a pet, and kept teasing him with her fingers.
After getting a little tired from playing, Hermione placed Rolf next to her pillow and carefully covered him with a handkerchief.
The girl smiled and said:
"Okay, sleep with me tonight, and I will return you to your irresponsible owner tomorrow. Be honest, don't run around, don't get into trouble... Good night!"
Luo Fei lay beside the pillow in a daze, watching the girl next to him close her eyes and fall asleep. He could still hear the subtle breathing.
Ten minutes later, Luofu's consciousness left the Bowtruckle and returned to himself.
Yi Xingzhe's time is limited, and he can only last for more than forty minutes at most.
The boy lay on the bed and sighed softly. The duration was still too short, so he had to practice more... Otherwise, wouldn't this delay his daily exploration work? !

The next morning,
As soon as Rove walked into the auditorium, he saw Hermione sitting at the Ravenclaw table, whispering to Shirley. After seeing the boy, she quickly waved.
Rolf walked over slowly and sat down at the Ravenclaw table. Hermione couldn't wait to interrogate him: "Where were you last night?"
Luofu poured himself a glass of milk and pretended to be stupid: "I'm in my dormitory, what's wrong?"
"Still pretending, what do you think this is?" Hermione pointed not far away, where a Bowtruckle was sitting on the table eating.
Groot yelled twice in grievance at the boy.
"You have always carried Groot's with you, but it showed up in the Gryffindor common room last night, and you still said you didn't go anywhere?"
Hermione and Shirley both stared at him, as if wanting to see how he could quibble.
Of course, it was impossible for Rolf to admit that his consciousness was on Groot last night and he lay next to someone's pillow for a while. He was still young and didn't want to be hacked to death.
The young man who had already prepared his words lowered his voice and said, "Last night I asked Groot to go to the Gryffindor lounge to spy on a student. Why did it get to you?"
"Spying on students?"
"That's right." Rolf nodded: "I went to the campus hospital, found Malfoy with the truth serum, and asked about the secret room and the attacker..."
"What's the result?" Both girls pricked up their ears.
"Malfoy really doesn't know who the attacker is." Rolf said in a low voice: "I asked him to call out his house elf Dobby and gave it Veritaserum."
"Dobby told me that everything was caused by Lucius Malfoy. He gave a black diary to...Percy Weiss."
"Percy?" Hermione said in disbelief: "He is a prefect...it's impossible."
"Hermione, there is dark magic in that diary." Rolf did not explain in too much detail, but said softly: "It can bewitch the holder."

"Then let's go find Professor McGonagall and tell her about this!" Hermione said seriously: "There was another attack on Gryffindor last night, and Dean Thomas was injured!"
"Is that so?" Rolf said calmly, "Let's see what Groot said first. He was spying on Percy last night."
Luofu came close to Bowtruckle, listened pretendingly for a while, and said solemnly: "It's too bad."
"What's wrong?"
"Groot told me he didn't find the diary in Percy's dormitory last night."
"Maybe it's hidden somewhere else?"
"But when Dean was attacked, Percy was sleeping in his dormitory." Rove shrugged.
Shirley and Hermione exchanged a look, and both fell silent... In this case, Percy was basically ruled out!
"It was veritaserum. There is no way Dobby could lie." Shirley thought for a while and said softly: "The diary was either lost by Percy Weiss or given away by him."
It's easy to handle if you give it away, but it's troublesome if you accidentally lose it... Who knows where he lost it?
Hermione was silent for a moment and then took the initiative: "It's not an option to guess like this. How about I ask Percy?"
"Okay." Luo Fu nodded.
After a while, Hermione trotted back and said:
"Percy said...he did see a black diary during the summer with Tom Riddle's name written on it."
"He saw this name on the list of past male student presidents and in the trophy display room, so he didn't throw it away. He thought about taking it back to the school when the semester started, but...
The last few days of summer vacation suddenly disappeared! "
"Then it was lost at their house?"
Luofu narrowed his eyes. He felt that he was about to touch the truth, but he still lacked the last piece of evidence.
…
…
The news that Dean Thomas was attacked plunged the entire school into an eerie atmosphere of silence.
In the past, everyone thought that only wizards who were alone would be attacked, and they would be safe if they didn't run around in the lounge.
But I never expected that even sleeping in the dormitory in the middle of the night would cause trouble. So how could the entire Hogwarts be safe?
For a time, everyone was in danger, and everyone booked train tickets one after another, waiting for the Easter holiday to arrive and take the express train home.
There were even students who wanted to take a long vacation and not come back for the time being. Even so, Professor McGonagall approved it.
She wanted to close the school and use the fireplace to switch to online classes.
In order to ensure safety, even the journey from the castle to the greenhouse was escorted by teachers.
After Potions class ended, Snape shouted to the class: "Hurry up, I'm taking you all to Herbology class."
Then, everyone left the classroom in two columns, walked through the vegetable field and towards the greenhouse.
The atmosphere in the herbal medicine class was also very depressing. Although the mandrakes that were about to mature were laughing and laughing, no one paid any attention to them.
Professor Sprout didn't say much, but looked worried as he arranged for everyone to prune the Abyssinian shriveled figs.
It's a very simple task that can put everyone's mood at ease a little bit.
After class, Professor Sprout escorted the students back to the castle.
Luofu left the team and went to the campus hospital on the second floor. He walked to the bathroom where Mrs. Pince was attacked and prepared to check again.
He stood at the door and suddenly heard the sound of table tennis coming from inside.
