Harry Potter Returns from Baldur's Gate

"Ridiculous!"

Then a series of footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the passage.

"Qirro! Where are you going?!"

"According to Dumbledore's orders, I am going to find the escaped basilisk!"

Wait until the footsteps outside the secret passage gradually fade away.

Qiu Zhang read out "left and right separation" with difficulty.

The four of them tumbled down into the corridor from the secret passage.

Although they were rolling, everyone adjusted their posture the moment they landed.

He maintained his dignity on his last day by using poses including "superhero" and "divine soldier descending from the sky".

After standing up with the help of his knees, Qiu Zhang straightened his robe which had just been messed up, and looked at Harry and others who had also stood up from the ground.

"So you already knew that the principal gathered us in the hall because of the basilisk?"

Different from the previous time when he went up the stairs, that kind of calm and relaxed aura seemed to be able to tolerate and understand everything.

At this moment, Qiu Zhang was like a sword drawn from its sheath, emitting a sharp aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Don't tell me you're planning to look for the basilisk, which is a deadly creature with a danger level of 5X as defined by the Ministry of Magic."

The moment Qiu Zhang's aura changed, Harry's intuition as a seasoned adventurer began to sound the alarm.

This guy is very dangerous. You either have to get along with him harmoniously or kill him when the fight starts. Otherwise, you will most likely die.

"What the hell, is this really a beginner spellcasting school? Not some tavern in Sigil or a bloody war recruiting office in the underworld?"

Harry, whose warning radar as a seasoned adventurer had never stopped after a week at school, was now a little numb.

Even in his past adventures, his intuition had never sounded the alarm so many times.

But just like in the past, before the impulsive player in the team spoke up and made things irreversible.

While raising his hand to ask the impulsive players to calm down, Harry spoke to Qiu Zhang.

"We never intended to go looking for the basilisk. We snuck out for something else."

Qiu Zhang looked at Ron who came out of the secret passage and the chicken coop in his hand.

"I'm going to assume that you're not going to look for the basilisk, so what are you doing sneaking out of the auditorium?"

"Forehead……"

Qiu Zhang's question made Harry at a loss as to how to answer it for a moment.

After all, Harry didn't think that either the Room of Requirement or the Shapeshifter matter could be publicized.

But for a moment, Harry didn't know how to get over this matter.

Whenever this kind of problem occurred in the past, Captain Xie Nian, the idea king of Jianwan, would come out to solve the problem.

Although Captain Xie Nian is a little casual, unreliable, and fickle, he is really good at speaking.

At this moment, Harry hoped that there would be a playboy like Xie Nian in his team who could fool around with this problem.

"Actually, we snuck out because of Ron, you know, the poor kid lost his rat recently."

When Harry was at a loss for words, Draco took over the conversation without hesitation.

He said to Qiu Zhang while rubbing his knees.

"And what? What does this have to do with your risky escape from the Great Hall?"

"Ron was so upset about losing the mouse that he needed the comfort of his teddy bear."

Draco's face was full of sincerity, as if he was the embodiment of honesty and the synonym of reliability.

"In this difficult time, you should understand how much a boy needs his teddy bear. If he can hold the teddy bear in his arms, it will be able to heal all the trauma brought to him by this cruel world."

Hearing Draco's words, Ron's expression twisted again.

Ron glared at Draco fiercely, as if questioning with his eyes what Draco wanted to do.

But in response to Ron's friendly inquiry with his eyes, Draco treated it as the message Harry had sent him before that "Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world."

While reading the message but not replying, he continued to look at Qiu Zhang with sincere eyes.

"We are only going back to the Gryffindor dorm to get his teddy bear back for him. Surely a lady like you would understand?"

Looking at Draco, whose expression was full of sincerity, Qiu Zhang was deeply moved.

“It’s so touching, but I don’t believe it.”

Qiu Zhang shook his head.

"Your acting is good and your emotions are very well expressed, but your movements are a little too exaggerated."

Qiu Zhang turned his head and looked at Harry.

"To be honest, maybe I...what are you doing?!...Ah!"

Qiu Zhang, who was speaking, suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand to grab behind him.

Behind Qiu Zhang, Hermione, who had just gotten up from the ground, lunged forward and punched Qiu Zhang in the lower back.

Hermione's attack was very sudden, but it was still not faster than Qiu Zhang's reaction. Qiu Zhang stretched out his hand and grabbed Hermione's fist.

The next second, Qiu Zhang, who had been acting calm and composed, suddenly let out a scream, and then the long black hair draped over his shoulders stood up like sea urchin spines.

Qiu Zhang, with a puff of green smoke coming out of his head, only had time to scream "ah" before he fell to the ground with his mushroom-like afro.

Judging from the foam coming out of the corners of his mouth and his rolled eyes, he must have fainted unless there was an accident.

Hermione, with golden electric sparks still jumping between her fingers, shook her right hand that had just been grabbed by Qiu Zhang, and made a disdainful sound as she looked at Qiu Zhang who had fallen to the ground.

"Tsk, you're the only one who talks too much."

"Hermione!"

Harry, who had never expected Hermione to suddenly knock Qiu Zhang unconscious, lowered his voice and yelled at Hermione.

"What are you doing?!"

“I’m solving a problem!”

Hermione said as she squatted down and removed Cho Chang's tie from around her neck.

"What are you going to do?!"

Harry walked over and grabbed Hermione's wrist, glaring at Hermione who looked as normal as if he was just eating and drinking.

"I told you! I'm solving the problem! Are you going to join this guy with unknown origins in the next matter?!"

Hermione raised her head and glared at Harry, whispering the words through gritted teeth.

"When there's a Doppelganger in this castle?! We've only even seen her twice! We don't know her!"

Hermione yanked her hand out of Harry's grasp.

"Or do you want to risk being attacked by her like I just attacked her?!"

After pulling up Qiu Zhang's arm, Hermione turned her head and looked at Harry.

"Are you just going to watch? Or are you going to help me?"

At this time, Harry was in a dilemma as usual, but fortunately, thanks to Xie Nian, this was not the first time Harry faced this situation.

This time, Harry did not put the sword on Hermione's neck as he did in the past when facing evil thoughts, and then angrily scolded her for attacking innocent people.

On the one hand, it was because Harry didn't have a sword with him now, and Harry was not used to using the small wooden stick.

On the other hand, the bottom line will always be lowered through repeated attempts.

Especially after experiencing the thrilling adventure with the evil thoughts that like to jump back and forth on the bottom line of the Holy Knight, just short of performing a song of "Swan Lake".

Harry's bottom line has been lowered to a level that other paladins would shake their heads when they see it.

If there was a record of paladins confessing their sins on the Sword Coast, then Harry would definitely be able to make it to the top three after his adventure with the evil thoughts.

Under Hermione's angry gaze, Harry first took out a handkerchief to wipe away the white foam flowing from the corners of Qiu Zhang's mouth, and then tore off large strips of cloth from his robes.

As Hermione quickly tied up Qiu Zhang's hands and feet with a skillful technique that made Harry's eyes twitch.

As Hermione's eyes twitched, Harry placed the strips of cloth on Qiu Zhang's wrists and ankles to prevent himself from tying the tie too tightly. It was as if Hermione wanted to strangle Qiu Zhang's hands and feet and was using the tie to hurt Qiu Zhang's wrists.

Although it was basically a foregone conclusion that Harry would repent all night, as a paladin, Harry could not restrain his professional instincts and whispered to Hermione, "I think you are a bit too extreme."

Hearing Harry's words, Hermione, who was already in a sullen mood because of Harry's scolding for the sneak attack on Qiu Zhang, now had a look on her face that changed from cloudy to overcast and gradually escalated to a local thunderstorm after hearing Harry's nagging.

Draco, who had consciously taken on the task of lookout and alert, shook his head slightly when he heard Harry trying to reason with him.

Harry seems to be a smart guy and has a lot of adventurous experience.

Why do we always make mistakes on this kind of issue?

Could it be that he had never teamed up with a sorceress before? Had he ever worked together with her?

Draco glanced at Harry out of the corner of his eye as he was putting a strip of cloth on Qiu Zhang's ankle.

There was a hint of envy in their eyes, as well as some pity from the veteran hunters when they saw the novice hunters about to fail.

We are all friends. If Harry's bed burns one day, Draco is willing to give Harry a quilt.

It is because I have been caught in the rain that I want to hold an umbrella for others.

Draco sighed as he refocused his attention on both sides of the corridor.

In fact, I was quite popular back then...

At this moment, Harry had no idea what was going on in Draco's mind.

He lifted Qiu Zhang's legs that were tied together by Hermione so that Hermione could tie Qiu Zhang's hands and feet together. He continued to whisper to Hermione, "If we had solved the problem through dialogue just now, we might have gained an ally. Although violence can solve the problem, it is definitely not the best solution."

“Wisdom is always a more powerful weapon than violence. Indiscriminate use of violence to break the situation will only put oneself in opposition to the majority.”

Just as Harry was sharing the wisdom of the paladin with Hermione, Hermione, who had tied Qiu Zhang's hands and feet together, suddenly shot out a bolt of lightning at Harry with lightning speed.

When Harry's hairstyle turned into that afro that fluttered in the wind again, Hermione glared at Harry and said.

"Now, use your wisdom to fight back!"

Hermione glared at Harry fiercely, with a hint of lightning in her eyes.
