Chapter 243 Unexpected Alliance

When they learned that they could help Les, both of them were extremely excited - they could finally be useful, right?

Les successfully ignited their fighting spirit.

"No problem!"

"I will complete the task!"

Listening to the firm voices of Daphne and Astoria, Les nodded with satisfaction and left the Slytherin common room.

At the moment when the door of the common room closed, the voice of Ravenclaw continued to come from the crystal ball.

"You are playing too much."

"Aren't you enjoying it too, Rowena?"

No more voices came from the crystal ball, and Les also cast an illusion spell on himself and walked towards the hall. He wanted to confirm whether another important character was involved as he planned.

After parting with Daphne and her sister, Harry fell into a state of confusion for a short time. His reason told him that he only needed to wait for Daphne and the other three to arrive, and the problem would be solved easily, but his sensibility urged him again and again to do something.

Perhaps it was because he was too ashamed to lie down and let the boss lead him. He was eager to do something. He couldn't just play the role of "tip-off", right? ! What was he then, a translation dictionary? A game NPC who issued tasks?

Of course, if Harry knew how Rice positioned him, he might think that the role of a translation dictionary was quite good.

Wanting to do something is one thing, and being able to do something is another.

After thinking carefully, Harry found that he could not do anything.

After a conversation with Professor McGonagall, he had cut off the possibility of getting support from the professors in the school - he couldn't even convince the dean of his own college, so how could the deans of other colleges accept his "nonsense"?

As for the support at the student level, didn't Daphne agree to help him? Who else is more reliable than Daphne and the others, Ron? Forget it, he is most afraid of spiders, and he shouldn't be involved in such things.

While Harry was thinking about it, the library was closing time, and the last few students were driven out by Madam Pince.

In fact, no one would study until closing time. They would pack up and leave the library a few minutes before closing time to avoid conflicts with the bad-tempered librarian, Madam Pince. Only a few exceptions would stay until the last moment, such as Hermione Granger.

Today, she and Neville from Hufflepuff sorted out the herbology notes for this school year, and then summarized some knowledge points of potions together. The two were completely immersed in the world of magic until Madam Pince showed up and they were kicked out.

"I dare not look Madam Pince in the eye at all..."

"This is not your problem, Neville, will you continue to study in the library tomorrow?"

"Okay, I still don't understand a lot of things about potions - isn't that Harry? Why hasn't he returned to the common room at this time? It's curfew!" Neville noticed Harry leaning against the wall in the corridor. He looked worried and seemed to have encountered some trouble.

The kind-hearted Neville wanted to help him. Even if he couldn't help, it would be okay to chat with him and relieve his negative emotions.

"Harry, what are you doing? It's almost curfew." Hermione took the initiative to step forward and asked about Harry's condition.

"Uh..." Harry hesitated, not knowing whether he should involve these two people.

The conversation between the three people was seen by Rice not far away.

He waved his hand to isolate all the sounds around him, and then connected the "phone" of Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw in the dungeon could see everything happening in front of Rice through the crystal ball in his hand.

"Oh? It seems that someone unplanned has been involved." Ravenclaw's voice came from the crystal ball, "Who is he?"

"A boy from Hufflepuff named Neville Longbottom." Rice briefly introduced Neville to Ravenclaw.

"Having a toad as a pet but not good at potions? Interesting."

"It's also related to the teaching method of the current potions professor Snape. He has a bad personality. It's okay to bring Neville with you. I won't interfere." Les thought about it and felt that it was okay to bring Neville with him - if you add one weight, you can add a second one.

While Harry was struggling to tell Hermione and Neville the truth, Daphne and Astoria came over.

Now, Neville and Hermione both saw something wrong: Harry should be waiting for them here. How could it be an ordinary little thing to be related to them and do it at almost night?

Seeing that there were other people around Harry, Daphne frowned directly - she didn't want to cause trouble, she just wanted to solve the problem in the Forbidden Forest as soon as possible.

"What do you mean?" She was inclined to launch an attack directly to get rid of the two outsiders who were in the way.

"Okay." Astoria nodded, but she had another idea.

"Daphne, Astoria, what are you doing—"

"Fainted!"

"Petrified!"

When the Greengrass sisters approached, Hermione stood up to question them. She wanted to find out what the three were going to do, but what greeted her was not a greeting, but two spells.

The incident happened suddenly, and Hermione only had time to dodge sideways. The spell brushed the corner of her clothes and hit Neville who was standing behind in a daze.

Neville was knocked unconscious by the spell.

Hermione's eyes widened all of a sudden. She pulled out her wand and hit back with a curse. Then she and the Greengrass sisters released several spells together. The spells collided in mid-air, exploding colorful sparks, which stunned Harry on the side.

The two sides were deadlocked for a while. Daphne could not win quickly, and Hermione could not do anything to the two opposite sides for the time being.

"Stop!" Astoria suddenly shouted, asking everyone to stop first.

"I think we can take her with us--"

"Are you crazy?!"

"What are you doing???"

Several people spoke at the same time, and then shut up at the same time, and the corridor fell into silence.

"This is simply, simply violating a hundred school rules!" Finally, Hermione broke the silence with an extremely angry tone.

"Please listen to our explanation--"

"We don't have time, this is for your own good!"

Listening to Daphne's words, Hermione raised her eyebrows: "Use petrification and stun spells to sneak attack us, and then say this is for our own good?"

"That's it." Daphne raised her head, her momentum was not inferior at all: "This operation is extremely dangerous, even our spells can't stop it, and going there will only cause trouble."

Hermione:?

"Then you should contact the professor, not--"

"I've already looked for it, it's useless." Harry, who had been standing by and had almost no sense of existence, finally spoke.

Hermione:? ? ?

She felt her mind was in a mess.
