Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 378

Chapter 378 Chase in the Castle

Because they stayed in the Room of Requirement for too long, after being reminded by Qiu and Kangna, they hurriedly walked towards the auditorium.

“I can't believe we missed the Halloween party.”

Fred walked quickly at the front, muttering to himself as he walked, "Pumpkin pie... fried pork chop... barbecue pie..."

"Shut up, Fred." George, who was following him, said dissatisfiedly: "I wasn't hungry at all just now, but now I just feel like I can eat a cow."

A few people quickened their pace and soon reached the end of the corridor.

As long as you turn this corner, you will find the stairs not far ahead. Then you can follow the stairs all the way down to the auditorium.

At this time, Fred, who was walking at the front and the first to leave the corridor, suddenly stopped and asked: "Wait, is the dinner over already?"

"How is it possible..." Kang Na said, "The banquet has only started ten minutes now, and it's still early for it to end. You are not too hungry."

“Then why has someone come back?” Fred asked, pointing forward.

"What?"

Others hurriedly walked to the corner, then turned their heads and looked in the direction of his finger.

Not far away is the staircase. Further forward, a dark figure is standing in front of a huge portrait.

The lights were a little dim, and they couldn't see the figure clearly, but they recognized the painting.

 Portrait of the Fat Lady and the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.

“It's strange, who is this?” George said subconsciously: “He was full in just ten minutes…”

Before he finished speaking, the fat lady in the portrait let out a loud scream that could almost pierce people's eardrums.

 “You are that Sirius Bligh…”

 “Hiss!”

 The figure raised his hand and tore at the portrait of the Fat Lady like crazy.

 “Let me in… He's in there… Let me in!”

His voice was a bit strange, hoarse and dull, as if it was squeezed out of his throat, and it sounded more like the growl of some kind of animal.

 “What did the Fat Lady just say… was he Sirius Black?”

Fred seemed to have just reacted, but his movements were not slow and he immediately took out his wand.

“Obviously.” Cedric did the same, staring at the dark figure in front of him as if he was in danger.

The other party also noticed the movement here and turned around suddenly.

 A beam of light shines on his face…

  Dirty messy hair hanging down to his elbows, sunken eye sockets, and waxy white skin stretched tightly on his cheekbones, looking like a skinned skeleton.

"It's really Blake!" Fred became even more nervous. "He looks exactly like the picture in the Daily Prophet."

 After hearing his words, Blake grinned ferociously, like a beast about to go mad.

 “Fainted to the ground!”

 “Imprison quickly!”

 “Everything is petrified!”

Without any hesitation, Cedric and the others used their best spells at the same time.

 Five rays of light of different colors flew straight towards Blake.

 But the other party's response was equally quick.

While several people were chanting the curse, Blake was already lying on the ground on all fours, using a weird movement to flexibly avoid all the curses.

 Then he still maintained this posture of using his hands and feet, and quickly escaped from the other side of the corridor. "We can't let Black run away, he must not have a wand yet!" Fred yelled, and when he was about to catch up, he found someone faster than him.

 “I'll chase you, you go to the auditorium and notify the professor!”

Kyle said without looking back: "I have dealt with the dark wizard Oren in the first grade, so I have experience..."

I don't know if he was too anxious, but when Kyle ran out, he knocked over a pair of armor, which happened to be in front of Fred.

After such a delay, when Fred looked up again, Kyle had disappeared on the other side of the corridor.

"Wait, it's too dangerous to be alone..." Fred shouted.

 But Kyle didn't stop.

 After leaving the corridor and passing through several corridors, he soon saw Blake.

The other party lifted up a tapestry with a fire dragon on it and was about to get into the passage behind it.

 “Stop!”

Kyle threw out a magic spell and exploded in Blake's ears.

He originally wanted to use this method to force Blake to stop and say something to him, but the other party turned a deaf ear to the curse that was so close at hand. Not only did he not mean to stop, but he speeded up and got into the passage. Gone in the blink of an eye.

This is a shortcut to the fourth floor, and the exit is in an empty classroom.

This time Kyle did not chase after him, but just took a look in the passage.

 Blake was obviously a little too nervous and just wanted to leave the castle as soon as possible. He probably wouldn't listen to anything said at this moment.

 And explaining is a bit of a waste of time. Maybe someone else will come over before the words are spoken.

　　　Whatever you say comes from what you say.

Just as Kyle put down the tapestry, Fred, George, Cedric and Connor ran over panting.

“Why are you all here?” Kyle turned around and asked, “Why don't you go to the auditorium and inform the professor?”

"What are you talking about? How can we let you deal with Black alone?" George said dissatisfied.

 “Chu has gone to the Great Hall,” said Cedric.

“You ran too fast just now, but we still had to ask Peeves to find your location… Where is Black…”

"How are you?" Kangna stepped forward nervously and asked, "Are you not injured?"

"No," Kyle said, "but Blake ran away and I didn't catch up."

 “You didn't even catch up?” Fred asked in surprise.

To be honest, they had only thought about whether Kyle would be in danger when facing Blake alone, but they never thought that he would be lost.

Kyle has been making the Hogwarts map for four consecutive years, and he knows every road in the castle very well.

Is Blake so awesome... He can all run away?

"No way..." Kyle shrugged, "He seems to be very familiar with the castle and can always find the most suitable escape route. When I chased him nearby, he disappeared."

"Oh, yes, Black also graduated from Hogwarts." George suddenly thought of something: "I remember that the Daily Prophet said that he is also a Gryffindor, and he must be very familiar with the eighth floor."

Fred accidentally saw the tapestry depicting a fire dragon next to him and said thoughtfully: "Tell me, is it possible that he came from..."

 “So you are all here…”

 A familiar voice came from behind, interrupting what Fred wanted to say.

 Everyone turned around.

Professor Dumbledore was standing not far behind them. No one noticed how he appeared, as if he was already there.
