Harry Potter's Catastrophe

Chapter 31: Dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast (Part 2)

Carney noticed small beads of sweat on Professor McGonagall's forehead, and entered the school under her stern gaze.

Harry and Ron were already waiting for him inside. This incident must not be an ordinary attack, otherwise Harry would not have a headache.

"Harry! How are you?" Carney asked, "What happened to you just now?"

"It's okay, the scar on my head suddenly hurt." Harry said absently.

"Harry! Harry, are you okay?" Hagrid saw the situation here from the Quidditch pitch and rushed over as fast as he could. Panting heavily, "Let me see if there's any damage!"

"I'm fine. Fortunately, Carney was there. Professor McGonagall arrived after stopping him for a while!" Harry felt uncomfortable being touched by Hagrid and forced a smile.

"Hmph! The creatures in the surrounding mountains are really getting more and more restless!" Hagrid's beard curled up and he snorted angrily.

"Okay, Hagrid. Go and check the surrounding area carefully, especially the Forbidden Forest!" Professor McGonagall grabbed the rabbit and disappeared with a snap.

"Thank you Carney! Okay, you guys go back quickly. I have to make the animals around me calm down."

Carney returned to the common room with them, and Hermione and Neville hurriedly gathered around them.

"Are you okay? I just heard from people who came back from outside that you were attacked by a dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast." Hermione was concerned and did not forget to popularize science. "Dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast generally lives in high mountains. Its adult size has two wings spread. Meters long, they have few natural enemies to control the cold. "

"Hermione, let Harry rest early!" Carney said.

"I'm fine! I won't be going to dinner. Just take some with you."

When Harry went upstairs to his dormitory, everyone in the common room was left staring.

"People in Hogwarts are panicking now. They say that the security measures at Hogwarts are not good enough." Seamus came back from the outside. "The Slytherin people also said that they were going to the school committee to report it. They said it was Mr. Dumbledore." No, even the safety of the school cannot be guaranteed. "

First it was a troll, now it is a dog-headed harpy and a blue-tailed beast. What will it be next time?

Carney couldn't be sure, but he was certain that this matter had something to do with Professor Quirrell. This is not as simple as the original work at all. My life before was really too easy and peaceful.

The lively atmosphere of Quidditch in this school was dampened by this incident. The notice came out on the same day that the Quidditch match was postponed.

The time has not yet been determined, and the school will prepare to build a new barrier outside the Quidditch pitch. The Quidditch match organized by the school will be watched by many family members and figures from the wizarding world, and the Daily Prophet will also come.

The school is usually closed during normal times, and people from outside are not allowed in casually. Events such as Quidditch matches are an exception.

If an accident like this happened during a Quidditch match, who knows what kind of casualties there would be, Hogwarts might not have to open anymore.

There was a troll attack some time ago, and now another student has been attacked. During dinner, the entire restaurant was in a commotion, and everyone was talking in low voices.

Nowadays, many students are writing letters home, generally saying that the school is not safe and cannot guarantee the safety of students.

Malfoy said proudly, "My father is one of the school directors. He has told his father about the situation. Now that something like this happens, Dumbledore will be in trouble! And Harry, he is really lucky today."

He had no intention of lowering his voice, because Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were not on the teacher's bench, and Snape didn't know where he was.

When Hagrid heard this, he could only glare at Malfoy angrily. He had suffered a lot from the Malfoy family.

Professor Quirrell was not absent. As usual, he ate his dinner in silence. Snape would have said a few words to him if he had been there.

Fortunately Harry wasn't here, otherwise Malfoy would have come over to taunt him again.

Carney was a little confused. He was 100% sure that it was Professor Quirrell, and he hadn't asked Harry if he wanted to learn self-defense spells from him. Harry felt that the school was very safe and there was no need to learn self-defense spells alone.

It didn't take long for the attack to appear, and now Harry was probably already considering whether to go.

Looking back at that time, it was really dangerous. The sharp claws of the dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast are still frightening. Voldemort's power in his current state should not be underestimated. If he continues like this, who knows if the next one will be a dragon or a giant.

"You guys eat, I'm going to the Room of Requirement and I won't be back in the evening." Carney said to his friends and stood up to leave. He had some insights and new ideas when he was fighting against the dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast this afternoon. He must quickly find a place to try it, and he is now eager to improve his strength.

eighth floor

Carney walked back and forth in front of the wall five or six times, but there was no response. The Room of Requirement did not appear.

"It's here, that's right!" He had been here dozens of times and couldn't remember it wrong, so there was only one possibility.

There are already people inside, so people from outside can't get in, and there's no use squatting outside. Or maybe the person who entered has set up permissions or something, and there may be no one inside.

Inside the Room of Requirement

There were four torches hanging around the dark surroundings, and in the middle three people surrounded a dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast. It's Dumbledore and McGonagall and Snape.

"Woof woof woof!" The dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast was tied up with iron chains and kept struggling.

Dumbledore shot a magic spell into the body of the dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast, and it became quiet and looked up at him, its eyes losing their luster. It's Legilimency, reading memories.

After a while, Dumbledore came back to his senses, and the dog-headed harpy-body and blue-tailed beast lowered his head in despair.

"Albus, this is an attack on Harry. The dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast is under the Imperius Curse." Professor McGonagall was frightened and uneasy, "Is it him? Or a Death Eater."

"I hope not, Severus." Dumbledore said worriedly, "What were you doing now? Why didn't you take good care of Harry?"

"It was my negligence, but Quirrell was stared at by me, who else could it be?" Snape also regretted, but fortunately nothing happened to Harry. Now his back was covered in cold sweat, otherwise how could he explain to Lily.

"Professor Quirrell? What happened to him?" Professor McGonagall was obviously unaware of this matter, and Dumbledore did not tell anyone else except Snape.

It's not that you don't trust them, but you need to be cautious.

"We noticed there was a bit of dark magic in him, so I asked Severus to help look at it. After all, Harry is enrolling in school this year." Dumbledore said seriously, "There must be no mistakes. The Dark Lord is not dead yet. May come back any time."

Snape fell silent at this time, and the mark of that man was still on his arm.

"Then why not..."

"Minerva, don't worry, I have my own arrangements." Dumbledore knew what Professor McGonagall wanted to say, "As for the matter of the dog-headed harpy and blue-tailed beast, leave it to the Ministry of Magic. They have nothing to do recently... …“

"Minerva, give it to the Ministry of Magic. Severus, go there." Dumbledore didn't say where it was, but Snape nodded, and Professor McGonagall didn't ask much.

"I'm going to see the other little guy, there should be good news..."

On the other hand, Carney did not enter the Room of Requirement, so he had to find another place. A large enough empty classroom is easy to find. The most important thing is that it cannot be discovered by Filch.

After walking around until he reached the seventh floor, he searched all the eighth floors, but there weren't many rooms. He went from classroom to classroom and opened doors one after another. "This one is too new, this one is not remote enough, this one is not big enough..."

When he was at the end of the seventh floor against the wall, Carney found a door with nothing written on it. He turned the round handle and locked it.

"Open the Alajo!" the door clicked.

Carney pushed open the last door. It was a perfect classroom. It was in a remote location and was large enough. The moonlight shone through the window on one side. There were no other unnecessary items. There were only some old tables and chairs piled in the corner, covered with dust.

The only thing that made people care was that there was a tall and big thing on the opposite wall, which was covered by a dark red cloth.

That thing looked very extraordinary and felt out of place with everything else around it.

Even though the thing was covered, it still exuded a seductive aura that made people want to peel off the cloth and see what it was.
