The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 241 Night Attack on Gryffindor Dormitory

"Dumbledore, you finally come back"...

In the Hogwarts auditorium, Professor McGonagall raised her head happily after seeing the door being pushed open, but unexpectedly saw Scrimgeour walking into the auditorium.

Professor McGonagall's expression suddenly turned grim.

"Mr. Scrimgeour, are you here to see Ms. Umbridge?"

"What? Is Ms. Umbridge here? Since the assistant minister is here, as the deputy principal of Hogwarts, you have to treat her well."

Scrimgeour said pointedly.

Although he was an upright man, he didn't mind using this method to disgust the old woman who usually disgusted him.

"Oh, of course we entertain outside guests."

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be one of her own this time.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but the Ministry of Magic does have an emergency today."

Fudge led a large group of people in from outside in a hurry.

"Minister Fudge, you can't"...

Professor McGonagall saw that something seemed not right about this battle, so he stepped forward to try to stop it.

"Let them pass Minerva, they are here to hunt for fugitives."

Dumbledore took two steps forward and pulled Professor McGonagall away.

"Dumbledore, what happens next may cause trouble for you."

Fudge said excitedly to Dumbledore.

"Don't worry, I won't let him run away yet."

Dumbledore nodded, and the group immediately began to climb the stairs toward the Gryffindor common room.

"Will we alert the enemy by doing this?"

Zhang Qi asked casually.

"I think Harry must have just fallen asleep at this time, because he would wake up in the middle of the night and go out for a night walk with his friends."

Dumbledore said leisurely.

"Then you really understand thoroughly"...

Zhang Qi was immediately speechless, and at the same time, he lamented in his heart for Harry's privacy.

"Here we are, right here."

Zhang Qi squeezed through the crowd and walked to the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Hello fat lady, please open the door for me."

Zhang Qi said politely to the portrait.

"Slytherin student? If you can't tell the password, you are absolutely not allowed in."

The portrait of the Fat Lady said casually.

"That's offending."

Zhang Qi took out a toothpick from his pocket and then moved towards the portrait.

"I'm warning you, kid, don't force me to unlock the door with anything again! Who knows where you learned that you can use this method to unlock the door of Gryffindor's dormitory?"

The Fat Lady shouted in horror and opened the door.

"How are you going to open the door?"

Dumbledore asked a little strangely.

"My mother told me that there is a small hole in the lower right corner of the portrait frame. As long as you find a sharp object and poke it in, the door will open automatically."

"It's amazing. As a principal, I don't even know about this."

Dumbledore looked a little surprised.

"If I remember correctly, Harry should live in room 4, right?"

"That's indeed the case. So gentlemen Aurors, get ready"...

"I'll take the lead. If you go in, you may scare the suspect. If he runs away, it will be really troublesome."

Zhang Qi said to Fudge and Scrimgeour behind him.

"Okay, Mr. Zirol is responsible for opening the door. After confirming that the suspect is in the house, please send us a signal."

Scrimgeour nodded, while inwardly admiring the child's thoughtfulness.

"You are all standing in a row against the wall. You are too close to the door and can easily be spotted."

So Dumbledore and Scrimgeour took the lead, and the remaining Aurors lined up on this side of the corridor, looking very warily at Zhang Qi, who was about to knock on the door.

"Harry, are you in the house now? I brought you fresh rose cakes, just baked."

Zhang Qi knocked on the door.

"Ah, Hilbert! You are finally back."

Busy footsteps came from inside, and the footsteps got closer and closer, and then someone inside opened the door.

"Harry, is Ron in there too?"

Zhang Qi took out a steaming rose cake from his snack pocket and handed it to Harry.

"Ah, Ron is eating snacks inside. Come in first."

Harry invited quickly.

"Wow, it's so warm and dry here. I'm almost getting rheumatism down there"...

The Gryffindor common room is decorated in gold and red tones. The fireplace burns brightly and is far from the ground, so it is naturally warm and dry.

"Actually, I think your dormitory is very luxurious. When I told Ron about it, he didn't even believe it."

Harry said with great envy.

"Hey Ron, Hilbert is here"!

Harry happily led Zhang Qi towards the living room.

"Wait a minute, I want to put some food in Banban's bowl."

In the corner of the living room, Ron placed a bowl filled with rat food, then held a huge mouse and placed it on the ground.

Zhang Qi relied on his extraordinary eyesight to see that the mouse's right paw was missing a finger, and it was broken at the root.

"Is this your mouse Ron? It looks very old. He must have had it for five or six years, right?"

Zhang Qi asked pretending to be casual.

"This mouse has lived in my house for more than 10 years. My father picked it up next to the Ministry of Magic. Now it is almost too old to walk."

Ron looked at his pet eating its meal with a satisfied smile.

"Can you show it to me? I haven't really studied mice carefully."

Zhang Qi asked with a smile.

"Of course you can, but Banban sometimes doesn't like being touched."

Ron quickly took the eating mouse into his palm and handed it to Zhang Qi.

"You have raised him well. His fur is soft and smooth."

Zhang Qi looked at the fat mouse and nodded.

"You seem to have some grammatical errors, Hilbert, you should call this mouse that".

At this moment, Hermione also walked out of the girls' dormitory, holding a thick book in her hand, as if she was going to study.

"But I didn't use the wrong grammar."

Zhang Qi said in an extremely innocent voice, and then quietly clamped the mouse's neck with two fingers.

"Am I right, Mr. Peter?"

Zhang Qi looked at the mouse with a cold smile on his face.

"action"!

Just when a trace of human doubt appeared on the mouse's face, and then turned into an unparalleled panic, Zhang Qi increased the strength of his hands, and then yelled towards the door.

Dumbledore and Scrimgeour rushed in immediately after hearing this, followed by the Aurors who had been waiting behind them.

Dumbledore first waved the wand in his hand, and the table next to him immediately transformed into a huge wire cage that could hold a person. The gaps between the wires were not big enough for a mouse to pass through.

Then, Zhang Qi quickly threw the screaming rat into the cage and locked the door of the cage.
