I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 283 Clues to the Resurrection Stone
"Who's laughing foolishly? It was obviously Harry who tripped himself, and you won't let me laugh!" Ron seemed a little aggrieved, but when he said this, the famous scene of Harry falling just now reappeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

"I'm just nervous, aren't I?" Harry quickly explained to himself, "This is my first time attending a dance like this, don't you want me to be nervous for once?"

"You're right, Harry, you should be nervous." Ron saw Hermione's murderous look and immediately excused Harry.

He always does what he wants, especially in front of Hermione or his mother.

"Okay, how long are we going to stand here?" Louis coughed and reminded them: "The dance will start soon, are we going to stand here forever?"

They then walked towards the dance floor in a daze. On the way, Hermione could clearly be seen pinching Ron's waist.

Louis actually doesn't like dancing very much, but he knows that it's not up to him to decide whether someone likes dancing or not at this time, and he still has to take Catherine's feelings into consideration.

Therefore, Louis had to accompany Catherine and they danced for more than an hour on the field. Only when he could no longer tell the directions did Catherine take him back to the sidelines reluctantly.

However, he was not idle yet. Ye Ziyan came to him to dance again. After he finally got rid of Ye Ziyan, Christasza and Sakuya also came to invite him, so he had to suppress his impatience and dance with them on the dance floor.

It took a long time for Louis to regain his freedom, and he returned to his seat with a look of despair.

"I have to say, I wasn't full just now." Louis sighed, knocked on the table as usual, ordered a bunch of food he wanted to eat, and then leaned on his face to watch the people dancing in the venue.

There was no one in the main guest seat now. Professor Dumbledore was dancing with Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff, while Ludo Bagman was dancing with Professor McGonagall. Mr. Lovegood, the nanny, took his daughter Akko and let Akko step on his feet, slowly teaching her how to dance little by little. Akko's expression was obviously reluctant.

Karkaroff had already gone somewhere, and the most eye-catching person was Madam Maxime, who was dancing the waltz with Hagrid, happily shuttling between the students, drawing a path as wide as the avenue to heaven on the dance floor. An irresponsible guess was that it must be because of the size of these two people.

Another song ended and everyone applauded again. Ludo Bagman kissed the back of Professor McGonagall's hand very gentlemanly and walked briskly back to the crowd. At this time, Fred and George caught up with him.

Louis didn't care much and picked up a piece of blueberry pie and started taking a bite.

"What do you think they are doing?" A voice sounded in his ears. Louis turned around and saw that it was Percy.

"Percy? Why are you here?" Louis asked curiously, swallowing his blueberry pie.

Percy smiled sheepishly. "Am I disturbing you? Mr. Crouch has disappeared recently, and the Law Enforcement Department is in chaos without him... God, this is really too bad, so I wanted to come to Hogwarts to take a look and ask Headmaster Dumbledore if he has any opinions."

"What can he think?" Louis curled his lips and glanced at Percy: "But you, are you thinking of returning to Hogwarts only because you have something to do?"

Percy felt awkward, not knowing whether to sit there or walk away.

"I've told you long ago that the Ministry of Magic is unreliable, but you refused to believe it and joined Barty Crouch. This old man doesn't take you seriously and even calls your name wrong..." Louis sneered twice, "It's a good thing for young people to want to climb up, but they can't forget their roots just because they want to climb up."

"Sorry, Louis." Percy felt his face burning. What Louis said was right. It could be said that it was very accurate. His words completely pierced his heart.

"What's the point of your apology to me?" Louis forked a piece of chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth elegantly. "Think about it carefully. Since you graduated and started working in the Ministry of Magic, how much time have you taken to spend with your family?"

Percy opened his mouth, speechless. He didn't even have to think about the past few months, he had been staying with Mr. Bagman, he hadn't even been home many times, and he had a fierce argument with his mother.

"A man who doesn't take care of his family is never a real man." Louis began to say some golden words, "I won't say anything more. Think about it carefully. When you figure it out, come back to me."

With that, Louis turned his head away and stopped looking at Percy.

Then, Catherine came over with a cold expression on her face.

"What's wrong, Little Moon?" Louis asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the bathroom? Did anyone bother you?"

"Ah? No." Catherine's expression instantly thawed. "Why do you say that?"

Louis spread his hands, indicating that it was unnecessary for him to ask such a question.

"I see, Louis." Percy said behind him, "I forgot that I am a Weasley. I should stand with my family, not with those officials of the Ministry of Magic..."

"I'm glad you understand." Louis smiled and patted Percy's back. "It's not hopeless yet. Let me tell you, Deputy Director of the Law Enforcement Department, I can help you with the operation, but don't just forget what I told you and what you just thought about. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Percy nodded solemnly.

At this time, Harry also came down. The first time he saw Percy, he had an urge to call "Wetherby", but when he looked around, the twins were not there, so he did not call out.

Otherwise, Percy would probably blow up the temple.

"Percy," Harry greeted. "What brings you to Hogwarts?"

"I'm here to talk to Headmaster Dumbledore about something." Percy smiled unnaturally, stood up, said hello to Louis, then left and walked towards Dumbledore.

Harry sat down with Lilastrasza, crossed his legs, and looked very adult: "What is he doing here? I heard that Aunt Molly had a big fight with him. Really, I thought he would be the least troublesome child in the Weasley family."

"Every family has its own problems, Harry." Louis said indifferently, "We should not interfere in other people's affairs. The best thing we can do is to eat well."

Louis picked up a large piece of blueberry pie with a fork and placed it in front of Harry. "Here, you just stole my blueberry pie. Now I'll give you a large piece so you can eat as much as you want."

Harry looked at the large piece of blueberry pie in front of him with a somewhat strange expression. How to describe it? It was like the expression on his face when his stomach was churning up sour water.

It’s not that he ate too much just now, but this piece of blueberry pie was too greasy and sweet.

Of course, Louis also noticed this when he tasted it, otherwise he would not have shared his blueberry pie with Harry.

"Are you hungry?" Harry turned around and looked at Lilastrasza. Lilastrasza said nothing and took the blueberry pie from Harry. She knew that Harry would definitely not be able to eat it.

"So, I still like red dragons." Harry said happily: "Look, I think Lila is much better than Hermione anyway."

"Don't you feel there's murderous intent behind you?" Louis asked Harry cautiously.

Harry laughed: "How is it possible, at this ball, who can kill me?"

As he said this, he turned his head and in front of him was Hermione's face.

"Let's go out for a walk, Louis." Harry invited Louis decisively. He didn't want to stay here for a minute longer.

Louis glanced at Hermione, asked Catherine in a low voice, and after getting Catherine's permission, he immediately stood up and followed Harry out.

"Harry..." Ron muttered Harry's name in an extremely eager tone, but he didn't dare to follow. He knew that if he followed, Hermione would definitely beat him up.

Louis and Harry sidled around the dance floor, keeping their heads down as much as possible to avoid unnecessary attention, and quietly walked out the door and into the hallway.

The front door was wide open, and occasionally a few students from Durmstrang or Beauxbatons would pass by. As they walked down the steps, the tiny lights in the rose garden twinkled, as if the stars were blinking there.

The layout outside the entrance hall had been completely changed by magic. They were surrounded by low bushes, ornately decorated winding paths and huge stone statues.

Louis could hear the clear sound of splashing water, like a fountain, and occasionally he could see people sitting on benches carved with patterns, chatting animatedly, and young couples kissing on the benches as if no one was around.

"The impact is extremely bad!" Louis whispered to Harry, "Look at them, they are so shameless. You must never become like this."

Harry nodded awkwardly, blushing as he remembered when he was sitting here with Lirastrasza.

?

A question mark flashed through Louis’ mind, are you blushing like a bubble teapot?

He didn't get to the bottom of the matter and led Harry along a winding path through the rose bushes, but after a few steps, he heard a very familiar voice.

"I don't know what all the fuss is about, Igor."

Louis turned around and gestured to Harry to keep quiet, then quietly led him over and just in time saw Professor Snape talking to Karkaroff.

"Severus, oh my God, you can't pretend this isn't happening!" Karkaroff's voice sounded panicked and hoarse, as if he was afraid of being heard. "It has become more and more obvious over the past few months. I am very worried now, and I can't deny..."

"Then run away," Snape's voice sounded extremely impatient. "Run away, the farther the better. Don't worry, I will make an excuse for you... But don't expect me to go with you. I will stay in Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts? You're crazy... Oh, I get it, you're doing this for that woman, right!" Karkaroff's voice was a little crazy, "What's so good about her! Is she worth you doing this..."

Harry glanced at Louis with a gloating look and whispered, "Could it be Aunt Emma?"

Then he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Even though she died, you still protected her son, the - the boy who lived? Ha, that's ridiculous, look at you..."

Harry's face became increasingly gloomy. Damn, it's my mother?
Eating melons at home is like eating them at home.

Before he finished speaking, Snape took out his wand and blasted the rose bushes to the sides. His face was stern and his expression was very ugly. Screams came from many bushes and several dark figures jumped out from them.

"Ten points deducted from Ravenclaw, Fawcett!" Snape scolded fiercely, and a girl ran past him, "Ten points deducted from Hufflepuff too, Stebbins!" Another boy chased after the girl.

"Also, what are you two doing?" Professor Snape suddenly appeared in front of the two eavesdroppers.

"Of course I'm not here to see you drive away those two wild couples, Professor." Louis replied politely, glancing at Karkaroff, who gave him a forced smile. Louis continued, "Professor, you know me. I'm afraid of the dark, so I brought Harry with me to come to you."

Snape narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a cold expression, obviously not believing Louis's nonsense.

"Of course, I didn't want to come to you." Louis shrugged, deciding to throw the blame away, "But my mother insisted that I come, so I had no choice."

Snape was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously chose to believe Louis's words. He asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious." Louis looked at Karkaroff again and hesitated to speak.

Karkaroff coughed twice and said tactfully, "Well, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

After Karkaroff left, Louis came up to Snape and whispered, "Resurrection Stone."

Snape perked up all of a sudden. He straightened his back immediately and was about to go back, but was stopped by Louis again.

"I just lied, Professor. It wasn't my mom who called you." Louis rubbed his nose with his hand. "The news about the Resurrection Stone is just a clue. Don't ask where it came from. Anyway, this clue is absolutely reliable."

"I believe you." Snape nodded. Although his student was usually a bit erratic, when it came to reliability, no one in Hogwarts was more reliable than him. Even Dumbledore was more reliable than him.

"Then let's do it tomorrow, Professor." Louis whispered, "After Karkaroff and the Weasley twins have finished their competition, we will talk about this matter together in the headmaster's office. I think Professor Dumbledore will also be interested in this thing."

Snape glanced at him, as aloof as ever. He nodded immediately, shook his cloak, and it blew away like a bat, without taking away a cloud.
