Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1330: Missing

Ever since Snape became the new headmaster and Death Eaters became the new professors, Hogwarts has been shrouded in a depressing and dull atmosphere, especially after entering the rainy season in October, this atmosphere is even stronger It's almost too much for everyone to breathe.

"I heard that another famous first-year freshman was imprisoned."

"It will probably be brought to the black arts class for students to practice the Cruciatus Curse."

"They are simply a bunch of lunatics."

The students in the hall who were having breakfast were discussing what happened yesterday in whispers. Everyone's eyes were full of anxiety and panic. The student who was tortured by the Cruciatus Curse last time is still lying in the school hospital. inside.

Listening to the whispers of other people around, Neville sat down at the Gryffindor table, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

"This is a trap, they are trying to lure you into the bait, don't leave any evidence." Seamus sat down on Neville's right hand, reminding him not to do stupid things.

Today's Hogwarts is like a powder keg. The high-handed rule of the Death Eaters and the furious resistance of Dumbledore's Army are fiercely confronting each other, and Hogwarts may be completely detonated at any time.

However, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to them. Not only the Defense Association does not support them to confront the Death Eaters head-on, even the professors of the school cannot provide them with any help. Locked in a dungeon and whipped, it made all the members of Dumbledore's Army complain about it.

No one likes to be weak, no one likes to be bullied, they want to fight back angrily, they want to drive the Death Eaters headed by Snape out of the school.

Neville sipped the polenta silently, looked up at Parkinson on the professor's seat, and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

He has been very confused recently, especially after what he did was euphemistically denied, he has been thinking about what to do next.

Keep fighting, or go underground?

Neville didn't know if he could convince others.

"What should we do next?" Seeing Neville's gloomy face, Seamus asked worriedly, "Are you okay, you don't seem to be in good spirits."

"Sorry, I didn't sleep well yesterday." Neville made an excuse for himself

He didn't know what to do.

If they let the underclassman out of the dungeon, placement becomes a big problem again.

Let him hide in the Room of Requirement and play disappearance?

This won't solve the problem unless he volunteers.

They need guidance.

Vaguely, Neville realized why Albert didn't want them to make things worse.

Because unless the two sides go completely against each other, they will always be on the disadvantaged side.

But what's the use of figuring it out now?

"What did Ernie say?" Neville asked suddenly.

"He thinks he should seek help from the professor." Seamus smiled wryly, "How could the professors not know about this?"

"If Professor McGonagall wanted to, they would have done it a long time ago." Neville also knew that the professors had their own concerns, so he didn't expect the school's professors to help them from the beginning.

"Where's Luna?" Neville asked again.

"Luna thinks that the other party can pretend to be sick. Maybe he will be sent to the school hospital because of this, at least it's better than being locked up in prison." Seamo agreed with Luna's approach. He actually came to Neville to discuss this matter. Yes.

"Perhaps, we should give him some skipping candies. I remember we still have a lot of them in stock." Neville agreed with Luna's strong plan and thought it was a good idea, but he added, " I have to convince him that if Parkinson still uses him to practice the Cruciatus Curse for other students, he will just pretend to be dead."

Neville actually didn't trust that junior student, but he was still willing to help him escape, otherwise he would be miserable if he was forced to practice the Cruciatus Curse for the students.

The last unlucky guy has been bedridden for half a month and hasn't recovered yet, and it is said that he has also had a serious psychological shadow.

Luna's plan is not difficult for them who have mastered the disillusionment spell. The only trouble is Filch, but they only need a holding spell to solve Filch's problem.

The whole thing went smoother than Neville expected. He ran to the dungeon to meet the unlucky Gryffindor junior and discuss a solution with him.

The other party really chose to pretend to be sick. After all, they just came to Hogwarts, and no one wanted to drop out of school and leave.

The Gryffindor student started to have a high fever after eating the class skipping candy, and passed out directly due to the gorgeous training of the Cruciatus Curse.

Professor McGonagall was extremely angry about this, and almost got into a fight with Professor Parkinson. Although this did not make them give up testing black magic on students, at least it allowed that first-year student to enter the medical room for treatment.

In general, the plan is going well.

This greatly encouraged everyone.

For this reason, they held a small meeting to discuss the next plan.

Without the distraction of the Wesley twins' teasing props and Peeves' mischief, they would likely be targeted by the Death Eaters.

"We should temporarily abandon those dangerous practices and do some more secretive underground work." Luna raised her hand and suggested.

"I agree with Luna. It is unwise to confront directly. We get together mainly to train the Defense Against the Dark Arts. Driving the Death Eaters out of Hogwarts is just a secondary goal to pass the time." Ernie Knowing that this is what Albert meant, and also knowing that this is to prevent them from being in danger, especially after the Defense Association's joke prop support has dropped, this is undoubtedly the best choice right now.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to convince others, you should know..."

Just as Neville was about to say something more, he heard the door of the Room of Requirement being pushed open forcefully, and Michael hurried in.

"Something went wrong."

"What happened?"

The three of them had a bad feeling.

"Nick told me that Parkinson gave Veritaserum to the junior student who just woke up. They already knew that Neville was behind the scenes and were going to make trouble for you." Michael panted heavily and looked at Neville.

"Don't worry, it's just a punishment at most." Neville didn't take it seriously.

"No, they seem to believe that the matter of Dumbledore's Army has something to do with you." Michael expressed his concerns: "If they also use Veritaserum on you..."

The few people present could not help but frown. If they really used Veritaserum, they might not be able to hide the matter of Dumbledore's Army, and all participants would be in bad luck.

"Perhaps, I should disappear for a while." Neville was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "If I disappeared directly and Dumbledore's army subsided and went underground, I don't think the Death Eaters would continue Against us."

Everyone present looked at Neville in unison, surprised by his choice.

"Are you really going to... drop out of school?"

Ernie couldn't help but widen his eyes, swallowed and looked at Neville, seemingly surprised by his choice.

"I didn't want to come to Hogwarts in the first place." Neville comforted, "It's just that Mr. Anderson wanted someone to come and organize Dumbledore's Army, so I returned to school."

Everyone fell silent.

"Let's leave it at that, it should be enough for everyone to calm down." Neville acted very calmly, so calm that it made others feel unbelievable.

There was a reason why Neville was so calm.

Fred had told him that if Hogwarts really couldn't stay, they would be responsible for pulling him out of the school.

"We got together and re-established Dumbledore's Army to teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts, so that everyone has the ability to protect themselves." Neville said softly, "If we have the level of Aurors, we can easily Overthrow Snape, drive them out of Hogwarts..."

"You are indeed here." Seamus opened the door and walked in, looked at the people inside panting and said, "Carlo and Parkinson are looking for you everywhere, and even almost had a conflict with Professor McGonagall."

"Oh, I already know that," Neville said quietly.

"How can you be so calm." Seamus was almost driven mad, "They won't let you go easily, what should we do now."

"I plan to disappear for a while." Neville said calmly.

"What do you mean, you plan to hide in the Room of Requirement without going out?" Seamus was stunned.

"That's probably what it means. Professor McGonagall is up to you to tell her." Neville looked at Seamus and said, "No problem!"

"But...you really don't want to..."

"I didn't plan to come to Hogwarts anyway." Neville suddenly thought of something, "At that time, you can seize the opportunity to spread some bad rumors outside, for example, I have actually been persecuted by Death Eaters I believe that no one wants their children to be in danger at Hogwarts.”

Everyone was dumbfounded by Neville's flamboyant thoughts.

"Are you really going to do that?"

"It's better to add some trouble to them, so that they don't want to trouble others." Neville thought his idea was really good.

"Okay, I'll talk to Professor McGonagall." Seamus agreed.

The trick of playing missing is really good.

There was nothing the exasperated Death Eaters could do about it, of course they knew Neville was hiding, and probably in the Room of Requirement, but they just couldn't get in.

Good luck!

For this reason, they sent people to watch the Room of Requirement 24 hours a day, waiting for Neville himself to come out and throw himself into the trap.

After a few days with no progress, people are dismayed to find that there is no movement in the Room of Requirement.

Neville Longbottom really disappeared?

The school began to spread various versions of the story. Some people said that Neville was actually captured by the Death Eaters, others said that Neville was killed by the enraged Death Eaters, and some people even gave Neville's eulogy in the hall.

The disappearance of Neville once again turned the entire Hogwarts into a mess.

"What the **** are you doing?"

After listening to Seamus' words, Professor McGonagall had a wonderful expression on his face.

"He said he never planned to study at Hogwarts from the very beginning." Seamus shrugged, indicating that Neville meant it himself

"So, where is Mr. Longbottom?" Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.

"He has left Hogwarts."

"How did he leave Hogwarts?" Professor McGonagall seemed to think of something.

"Well, I don't know, it seems that Mr. Anderson sent someone to pick up Neville~IndoMTL.com~ Seamus lied.

Neville is still in the Room of Requirement, studying Defense Against the Dark Arts every day. As for food and water, there are naturally ways to send them in through other means.

"Albert." McGonagall asked twitchingly: "So, Albert made all this up?"

"No, Mr. Anderson just wants us to be trained in the Defense Against the Dark Arts, but others... they want to drive the Death Eaters out of the school." Seamus was a little embarrassed when he talked about this, because he also supported the overthrow Snape, who drove the Death Eaters out of Hogwarts.

"Okay, Mr. Finnigan, I already know about this matter." Professor McGonagall stopped Seamus from continuing, "This matter is caused by Mr. Anderson, understand?"

Seamore nodded in confusion.

"Only Mr. Anderson is not afraid of Death Eaters, and let everyone be quiet. It is really not harmful to learn some defense against the dark arts, but it is unwise to fall out with Death Eaters now." Professor McGonagall sighed After taking a breath, he explained helplessly, "As long as the mysterious man is still alive, we will never be able to drive the Death Eaters away, so don't make the matter so bad that it won't do you any good."
