Bab 156: Chapter 156: Your invisibility cloak is a good hiding place (Edited)
Dumbledore took two deep breaths as he quickly rethought the pros and cons of the matter and made up his mind. There was also a subtle change in his arrangements for Professor Lockhart.
"I'm going to go to the Ministry of Magic, check their recent files, see if there are any anomalies. Professor Lockhart, would you please look into the Muggle world? The noise made earlier by the dead man Evans fought with is still very large and will probably attract the attention of the police."
Dumbledore blinked, with a mischievous look behind his half-moon spectacles, "Even if something goes wrong, a Dismemorizing Charm could sort it out, couldn't it?"
Tom: Greetings, Headmaster.
"By the way, how did you get to London?" Tom remembered a crucial question.
"The Flú network in my office is connected to the outside world. You can go to London through the Flú network in my office."
The Flú network is a very popular way to travel in the wizarding world, without the cold wind on a broom, or feeling compressed and decompressed in a tube, or experiencing a hook in your belly button. All you need is a handful of Flú powder to get from place to place through a connected chimney.
As a result, almost every wizarding home has a fireplace connected to a Flú network, just as a Muggle home has an Internet or telephone line. There are thousands of fireplaces throughout Britain that are connected to the Flú network. The exception is the Hogwarts fireplace. They are not normally connected to the network, but it is not too difficult to sneak them in.
Dumbledore's fireplace is the one he has modified to communicate with the outside world. Hogwarts' fireplaces are isolated from the Flú network, mainly to prevent students from sneaking out of the school without the Headmaster's knowledge, or enemies from outside the school from invading it through the Flú network.
Having a fireplace with access to the outside world in Dumbledore's office would easily solve both problems.
Tom was back in Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore did not choose the Floo net as a means of transportation, he left Hogwarts directly on Fawkes. He was only gone for a short time, and if anything happened, he would return as soon as possible.
At that moment, Harry, who was lying in the office, slowly woke up.
Harry rubbed his forehead, which was swollen with a large bump. After recovering from his awakening stupor, his body shook immediately: he remembered, he is still in the office Dumbledore!
She startled and almost jumped: this was not the place to stay! A slippery touch on his head made him realize that he was still covered by his invisibility cloak.
The scene before the coma gradually emerged in his mind.
Harry remembered that, before he passed out, something red had hit him and Ron, knocking them unconscious.Who would do something like that? And after he and Ron had been knocked unconscious, he had done nothing, he hadn't even taken the invisibility cloak with him.
As Harry's puzzled gaze roamed the empty branches of the sycamore tree, it dawned on him which creature had knocked him unconscious: the legendary phoenix that followed Dumbledore.
Harry shuddered at the thought that he had been found by Dumbledore's phoenix.
He tried hard to keep his mind from thinking about where Fawkes had flown to, and he didn't even dare to think about what he would face if he was caught. He only knew one thing: he couldn't get caught in the office, Fred had said that the only way to break the school rules was to get caught, and Fawkes was just a phoenix that had nothing to do with him, so he wouldn't know him, would he?
Harry looked over at his partner, Ron, who by now had a lump on his forehead and was lying quietly on the floor, a stream of saliva already trickling from the corner of his lips. Harry struggled to shake Ron, fighting to get him to wake up.
Ron wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, the pain in his forehead a quick reminder of his situation.
"No time, get up!" Harry didn't want to waste any more time, he grabbed Ron by the arm and pulled him to his feet, Harry decided to grab Ron and get out as fast as possible. But things went against his wishes, they had barely reached the door when they heard footsteps outside.
Harry showed a look of despair, now he could only pray that his invisibility cloak was strong enough, this cloak has never let him down, he dragged Ron, shivering into a corner, not daring to utter a word.
The door creaked open and, contrary to Harry's expectations, it was not Professor Dumbledore but Lockhart who entered.
Tom always felt that something was wrong when he entered Dumbledore's office, he also had this uneasy feeling when he had entered with Dumbledore before, and he always felt that someone was watching him from the darkness.
He looked around and found nothing, but the feeling of being watched grew stronger.
Tom silently took the title: Hound of the Baskervilles. It was rare for Tom to do so, but today he felt the need to test it.
With the title on, a variety of smells hit Tom's nose, causing him to feel dizzy, which was the downside of the title, as it took a bit of time to get used to the suddenly enhanced sense of smell. But upon analyzing the various smells, Tom immediately noticed something unusual: there is a very fresh human smell in this room! And there is more than one person...
Tom realized that there was someone else in the room besides him. The fact that the "human smell" in the room had not faded over time could only mean that the source of the odor was still in the room.
The first thing Tom did was to clutch his wand tightly under his robe.
However, when he again identified the source of the odor, he realized that the two smells were familiar, as if they were familiar. After a moment's analysis, a thought occurred to Tom: no way, could it be?
He walked to the corner with the stronger smell, it seemed empty and there was nothing there.
Harry's heart was beating wildly and he couldn't help but swallow, he couldn't understand, how had Professor Lockhart found them?
Tom walked around the corner and stopped, if anyone could see through the cloak, they could see a rather amusing scene, Harry and Ron balled up, blocked by Tom, not daring to move.
"The invisibility cloak is very good quality." said Tom, really envious of Harry's Deathly Hallows at the moment. This invisibility cloak will leave no trace after wearing it.
"Come out, Potter, and Mr. Ron Weasley, if I'm not mistaken."
