Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 44 Singing
There was a sudden chaos in the auditorium.

Not many people know what a three-headed dog is, but Quirrell's tragic situation still frightened them.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared at each other in horror. They were the few students who had seen the three-headed dog with their own eyes. The terrifying giant dog was as high as the ceiling-this must be a disaster.

Not knowing what Harry thought of, he murmured, "I knew there must be a reason for Professor Highmore's absence."

Dumbledore let off several bursts of purple fireworks from the tip of his wand before everyone fell silent.

"Prefect," he said in a low voice, "immediately lead the students from all colleges to the dormitories!"

After a pause, he added: "Everyone has to sing the school song while walking. No matter what tune you use, you must sing the school song, and the prefect will take the lead."

This is a method specially used to deal with Lu Wei. As soon as Lu Wei heard the music, he would fall into a deep sleep uncontrollably, but most of the students didn't understand Principal Dumbledore's intention at all.

Percy stood up: "Come with me, don't stray, first-year students! As long as you obey my orders, you don't have to be afraid of any three-headed dogs, all right, now sing with me - Hogwarts, Hogwarts Gewarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us--Sing, don't stray, come with me!--whether we're bald old men, or children with a broken knee-- —”

Percy's face was flushed, but he was still singing loudly, and the students followed him tremblingly, and it took a while before they realized that they were singing to the tune of "Funeral March".

For some reason, Percy suddenly thought of this tune, which was also the melody the twins sang at the start-of-term dinner, and it was too late when Percy wanted to change it.

"It's really you!" Fred clapped his hands and clapped his hands. "Running away while singing "Funeral March". I've never seen such a creative idea!"

George also laughed and said, "The freshmen should put you on their heads next time. You are much more interesting than the sorting hat!"

"Our minds can take some interesting things—shut up, you two!" Percy pulled them both over with one hand: "Don't try to make trouble at a time like this, or you'll have a hard time— For now our brains are empty, full of air, dead flies, and trifles—follow me, don't stray—teach us something worthwhile—"

The melody of "Funeral March" resounded throughout the auditorium, and the other prefects were also misled by Percy. Many little wizards were subconsciously singing the school song, with uneasy expressions on their faces, I don't know For whom is the funeral being held.

Harry, who was walking in the procession, grabbed the arms of Ron and Hermione. He whispered under the cover of singing: "There must be a reason for the principal to let us do this. I guess this is the way to deal with the three-headed dog." , in order to avoid being bitten by it."

"You mean "Funeral March"?" Ron asked in surprise, "How could this be used against the three-headed dog? Are you holding an early funeral for us?"

"Why are you so stupid?" Hermione said, "It's singing. As long as you sing, you can deal with the three-headed dog, no matter what tune you use. This is what Principal Dumbledore has emphasized."

"What are you trying to do?" Hermione turned to look at Harry.

Harry hesitated, "Maybe we should—"

"No!" Hermione interrupted Harry before he could finish.

Ron looked at Hermione all of a sudden: "Then why are you asking him?"

"In order to get rid of that little thought in your heart in advance." Hermione said disdainfully: "We were caught once not long ago, do you still want to make mistakes again? And then you are really deducted fifty points by Dean McGonagall? "

"But Professor Highmore is about to succeed!" Harry growled in a low voice, "Isn't there enough coincidences? I told you all, first in the Leaky Cauldron, then in Gringotts, but today he He didn't go to the dinner party, where do you think he is now?"

"We don't really need to violate the school rules." Harry continued, "I've already figured out an excuse, as long as we accidentally got separated, take a look at that room from a distance, the professors won't punish us of."

Ron quietly glanced at the Weasley brothers and Percy who were walking in the front, and he reminded in a low voice: "I think this plan is not bad. If you want to leave the team, you should do it now, otherwise it will be too late."

Hermione was still hesitating. She remembered the collection in Professor Highmore's office. To be honest, those souvenirs did not help Professor Highmore's good impression.Moreover, Hermione already knew that Professor Highmore was deliberately hiding something from Principal Dumbledore, and the moving skeleton was the best proof. This was admitted by Professor Highmore himself, and the skull was also used to convey the message.

At this time, Harry took Ron into a group of Ravenclaw students who were singing loudly, and then quickly hid behind a statue of a one-eyed witch, Hermione had to follow immediately.

"Remember, we're just taking a look from a distance." She said angrily, "We must never really break into that room, otherwise we won't be able to explain anything clearly."

Seeing Hermione helplessly, Harry and Ron smiled at the same time.

"Don't worry, Hermione." Harry said confidently, "This time, we will definitely reveal the true face of Professor Highmore!"

On the other side, the professors in the auditorium also dispersed immediately, and Hagrid was the most anxious. He was afraid that Lu Wei would cause some terrible consequences, or be hurt.

Quirrell also left the auditorium. He walked upstairs quietly, suppressing his frantically beating heart.He never expected that he would cause such a big mess. He originally wanted to deal with the three-headed dog in the same way as the giant monster, but unexpectedly angered the three-headed dog and rushed out of the room guarding the Philosopher's Stone , ran to the corridor.

But Quirrell also understood that the singing that Principal Dumbledore said was the real way to deal with the three-headed dog, even if he encountered that nasty big dog again, he didn't need to run away.

[There is no right and wrong in the world, only power, and those incompetent people who cannot gain power]

Quirrell once again thought of Voldemort's words of bewitchment. He already believed that Dumbledore was the incompetent person, and it was ridiculous that he would reveal such an important secret for the safety of the students.

Soon, Quirrell will get the Philosopher's Stone, and will also become a truly powerful figure, attracting the attention of countless people.

He walked quickly, and after seeing three figures moving in the dark from a distance, he cursed in a low voice, and then quickly walked away.

Did he see Harry Potter in it because he knew his secret?
In the distance, Snape, who was searching for Lu Wei on the second floor, suddenly turned his head. He realized that Quirrell was gone, and it was time for him to keep an eye on Quirrell.

He didn't want to find the specific location of Quirrell, but strode towards the rightmost room on the fourth floor. As long as he guarded there, there would be no accidents.

On the other side, Toby finally took Al back to the castle.

He stood blankly at the door of the empty auditorium, stunned for several seconds.

"The banquet is over so soon? No one has notified us yet?!"

"Could it be that I was fired?!"
