HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Looking at the dark and silent environment in the corridor and stairwell, only the scattered moonlight from the window brought weak and dim light to the two of them as they went up the stairs.

"Oh my god, we shouldn't have come out!"

Marietta patted her head in self-reproach and looked around at the quiet environment. Even the portraits were in a drowsy state. It was obvious that the curfew had passed...

"Okay, okay, let's be quick and go back!" Qiu Zhang whispered to Marietta in a low voice.

Afterwards, the two of them quietly walked up the stairs holding hands. After walking for about seven or eight minutes, the two of them walked around the long corridor from the kitchen and climbed the crooked stairs for a long time back to the fifth floor.

Through the riddle given by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, the Ravenclaw door opened, and Marietta couldn't wait to enter. Qiu Zhang was about to follow him when he heard some strange noise suddenly coming from the stairs behind him, which stood out in the silent night.

"What's wrong?" Marietta asked suspiciously when she saw Qiuchang paused at the door.

"It's okay, you go in first, I'll be back soon!" Qiu Zhang couldn't help but be confused and wanted to find out. He turned his head and looked at the stairwell from time to time, and said something to Marietta.

"But...well..."

Marietta wanted to persuade Qiu Chang, but thinking that Qiu Zhang was smart and would definitely not be caught by Mr. Filch, and that she might be delayed if she followed him, she had no choice but to give up and turn around and go into the house.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from upstairs, followed by the sound of metal hitting the ground, and a blank piece of parchment fell from upstairs.

Qiu Zhang reached out and grabbed the parchment, and immediately recognized it as the Marauder's Map. Looking along the stairs, the source of the ringing sound also appeared in front of Qiu Zhang.

The oval golden egg rolled down the stairs until it completely fell into the stairwell on the fifth floor. The golden egg was forced open during the impact, making a sharp and sharp sound.

"Holy shit!"

Qiu Zhang immediately flew over and closed the golden egg and held it in his arms. At this moment, she was almost certain that Harry must be nearby.

"Qiu, help me!"

A weak call came, and Qiu Zhang looked up, only to see an arm appearing out of thin air on the empty steps and shaking. As the arm pushed aside something blank, the hood of the invisibility cloak was lifted. The car faded away, and Harry stood there in embarrassment and embarrassment.

"Harry!"

Sure enough, just as Qiu Zhang was about to go up to look for Harry, she heard another rustling noise in the distance, and she immediately signaled Harry to hide with her eyes.

Then she took out her wand and whispered the command to the parchment, "I swear I won't do anything bad!"

The true face of the Marauder's Map was then revealed in front of her. Looking along the map, it was obvious that Mr. Filch was not far away.

"Are you so unlucky!"

Qiu Zhang complained helplessly, and as he spoke, he immediately cast a spell on the golden egg in his arms that could not be ignored, shrunk it, held it in his hand and hid it.

"Jie Jie Jie... My dear Luo Lisi, look what we found? A female student who wanders at night without knowing what she is doing!"

Mr. Filch's voice appeared behind him immediately. Qiu Zhang felt his scalp numb. He stuffed the Marauder's Map into his sleeve and turned around with a nervous and scared expression.

"Oh! Mr. Filch, that was terrible, those sounds just now! Those nasty Peeves!"

Qiu Zhang's voice was a little artificial. He crossed his shoulders and looked around nervously. He really looked like a classmate who was bullied by Peeves.

"Peeves! I knew it was them. I must drive them out of the school this time! Do you know where they went?"

Sure enough, compared to the students who wandered around at night, Mr. Filch's current most hated object and the one he wanted to get rid of quickly was Peeves.

"Of course, I was just woken up and when I ran out, I saw a few extremely fast shadows running that way!"

Mr. Filch glanced at the nightgown under Cho Chang's robe, and believed more in Cho Chang's words. A glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he hugged Mrs. Luo Lisi and couldn't wait to chase her.

"By the way, you should go back to the dormitory quickly!"

"Uh-huh!"

Qiu Zhang pretended to be obedient, nodded obediently, turned around and walked towards the Ravenclaw lounge. Mr. Filch immediately excitedly chased Harry in the opposite direction.

Seeing Mr. Filch leave, Qiu Zhang immediately turned around and walked a few steps to the stairs of the sixth floor. She carefully opened the blank space in front of her, and Harry under the invisibility cloak appeared in Qiu Zhang's eyes.

"Why are you here-"

Before he finished speaking, a familiar aroma penetrated Qiu Zhang's nose. It was the smell of body wash in the prefect's bathroom. Qiu Zhang immediately understood what Harry had done tonight.

Looking at Harry's pitiful expression in front of him, Qiu Zhang couldn't help but chuckle, and flicked his forehead with his finger to ask.

"Looks like you found the answer."

"Well, but Qiu, I have something more important to do now..." Harry looked a little embarrassed, his cheeks were slightly red, and he pushed hard in embarrassment, but his steps still didn't move at all.

"Oh sorry!"

Only then did Qiu Zhang notice that Harry's feet were stuck in the damaged stair planks. It must have been another trick played by Peeves.

Qiu Zhang took out his magic wand and cast a simple spell to free him easily. Not to mention how cute the eyes of Harry's admiring little fanboy are...

Suddenly, there were heavy and messy footsteps downstairs, accompanied by the sounds of some arguments. Harry immediately put on the invisibility cloak and pulled Cho Chang in.

The invisibility cloak brought the distance between the two people closer, and the anxious and tense atmosphere around them and the approaching familiar figure - Professor Snape, successfully made Harry and Cho Chang relive their relationship three years ago as if they were actually there. and Qiu Zhang’s experience hiding under the invisibility cloak.

"Filch, I've said it many times, it can't be Peeves...my office can only be opened by magic!"

Professor Snape impatiently interrupted Filch's confused words as he kept repeating the word Peeves.

"It's true. I have a witness. A female Ravenclaw student just told me!"

Mr. Filch's words immediately plunged the atmosphere into anxiety. Qiu Zhang held his breath in fear, cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously, he pinched his palms nervously and stared at the scene down the stairs.

Harry sensed her aura of anxiety and knew that Filch was about to reveal everything to Professor Snape, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.

He held her hand gently, trying to bring her some comfort. Then, he was about to leave the range of the invisibility cloak and decided to go out and confess to the professor by himself.

Qiu Zhang, who realized Harry's plan, immediately pulled him back, holding his hand tightly and staring at him with eyes full of disapproval.

"Who is it?" Professor Snape stared at Filch and asked.

Just as Mr. Filch was about to answer, he heard a few thumping footsteps, and another man slowly walked up the stairs. It was Professor Moody who was wearing a striped pajamas on crutches.

Qiu Zhang subconsciously glanced at the Marauder's Map in his hand, and saw that the three people gathered on it were none other than Professor Snape, Mr. Filch, and...Barty Crouch! ! !

What the hell is Barty Crouch? ! ! !

Qiu Zhang's tense mood became even more out of breath, and his body suddenly became stiff. He pulled Harry to show him the Marauder's Map.

Harry also had a puzzled expression on his face. After all, everyone knew that Mr. Crouch should recuperate at home.

Now, he not only appears in Hogwarts, but also appears as Professor Moody...

"Are you having some kind of slumber party?"

Professor Moody smiled coldly and looked at Snape and Filch teasingly.

"No, someone broke into Professor Snape's office, but if you ask me, it must be those naughty Peeves!"

Mr. Filch immediately bowed and nodded obsequiously to Moody in answer to his question.

Professor Snape's face darkened suddenly, and his originally unhappy expression became extremely cold, and he glared at Professor Moody fiercely.

Qiu Zhang looked at this rare tense scene with curiosity, and couldn't help but quietly stepped forward to observe. Harry looked at Qiu Zhang who was so close in front of him, and seemed not to notice that the distance between the two was almost zero. Harry could clearly feel the warm touch coming from his cheek, which was Qiu Zhang's cheek. The aroma of the shower gel blended with the vague citrus scent of Qiu Zhang's body, but it smelled unexpectedly good.

Harry swallowed unconsciously, controlled himself to move his attention away from Qiu Zhang's gentle and gentle face, and unconsciously held Qiu Zhang's hand tightly.

It could be mistaken that Harry was afraid. Qiu Zhang held Harry's hand tightly and led him to retreat slightly and silently, hiding in the blind spot of the two professors in the stairwell.

Although the two people hiding in the invisibility cloak don't really need to care about this issue...

"Did I hear you right, Snape?" Professor Moody looked very surprised. He took a half-step forward to approach Snape and asked with concern, "Someone broke into your office?"

"It's not an important thing!" Snape didn't seem to want to talk to Professor Moody at all. He closed his eyes and took a step back to answer him briefly.

"On the contrary!" Professor Moody panted and glared at Snape. "This is very important. Who would break into your office? Or, what do you think is hidden in your office that will be noticed by others? Woolen cloth?"

Professor Moody's question was obviously very targeted. He looked directly at Snape, and his magic eye kept flicking up and down at Snape.

Snape was almost going crazy with anger. His originally cold and gray face was as red as pig liver with anger. He gritted his teeth and glared at Moody and said, "I'm not hiding anything!"

"In other words, shouldn't you know best? After all, you have to turn my office upside down!"

It was obvious that Professor Snape had found the culprit who had sneaked into his office. He glared at Professor Moody fiercely, but he did not show any panic at all. Instead, he tilted his head and showed a strange smile.

"Headmaster Dumbledore granted me the privilege-"

"He won't do this, he trusts me!"

Before Professor Moody finished speaking, Snape couldn't wait to interrupt, and as he spoke, he stepped forward to attack Moody fiercely.

"Uh……"

Snape suddenly paused. He suddenly reached out and covered his left arm tightly with his right hand, as if the pain there was extremely unbearable.

Qiu Zhang noticed this, she tugged on Harry's sleeve, and leaned against the wall to peek cautiously at him, looking at Snape's strange and abrupt movements, feeling puzzled.

Let's talk about it. This is not the only thing I am puzzled about tonight...

Qiu Zhang and Harry's emotions seemed to be in a tense state of being brought up all the time...

Finally, Snape left angrily. Filch and Professor Moody had a brief chat and left the stairwell on the sixth floor without staying any longer.

It wasn't until the three of them completely disappeared from the sight of Qiu Zhang and Harry that the two of them slowly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down against the wall, leaning against each other.

"Harry, this is too dangerous..."

Qiu Zhang leaned on Harry's shoulder, with a sense of happiness on his face that he had survived the disaster, and smiled softly. Harry didn't answer, and heavy breathing sounded in Qiu Zhang's ears. She turned her head in confusion and saw that he had a serious face, as if he was worried about something.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Zhang couldn't help but asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little confused about their exchange just now and Snape's strange behavior..."

Harry shook his head extremely slowly. His head seemed to be filled with questions and confusion, and he couldn't find the answer even if he shook his head empty.

"These are not the only things you need to worry about...Harry, have you forgotten Mr. Crouch on the Marauder's Map?"

Qiu Zhang's question immediately woke Harry up. His eyes widened, he sat up straight and looked up at Qiu Zhang. Just as he was about to ask something, he closed his mouth and leaned against the wall dejectedly.

"What do you want to say?" Qiu Zhang poked Harry casually and asked without leaving any room.

"I was just wondering if...I mean is it possible...that something went wrong with the Marauder's Map-"

"Impossible!" Qiu Zhang immediately shook his head to deny Harry's hesitant groundless speculation and doubt.

Obviously, Qiu Zhang understood Professor Moody's care and concern for Harry, and made him feel that Professor Moody was a good professor and a good person!

However, Qiu Zhang also knew that the Marauder's Map would never go wrong!

If Mr. Crouch indeed moves on the Marauder's Map following Professor Moody's movement, then there is only one possibility - Professor Moody is Mr. Crouch!

And where the real Professor Moody went is unknown...

Harry and Cho Chang hid under the invisibility cloak and carefully returned to the door of the Ravenclaw lounge. After escorting Cho Chang safely, Harry was ready to leave.

"Harry!" Qiu Zhang called Harry in time.

Although Harry was a little confused, he slowly turned his head to look at Qiu Zhang, his expression gentle and patient, and his round eyes looked particularly well-behaved.

Qiu Zhang used the magnification spell to restore the hot golden egg in his hand to its original size, and returned it to him along with the Marauder's Map.

"Oh sorry, I actually forgot this!"

Harry took the golden egg and the map, which were still a little warm.

"Hey, Harry. Before you find out the truth of the matter, remember to be careful when facing Professor Moody!"

Qiu Zhang was still not at ease, and looked at Harry with worried eyes to give instructions. Harry nodded seriously and agreed.

"Don't worry, I will!"

……

Soon, Harry put on the invisibility cloak and left for Gryffindor Tower. Qiu Zhang also quickly returned to the dormitory and lay carefully on the bed, trying to sleep.

However, she was extremely awake at this time, without any hint of sleepiness. The moonlight that penetrated through the gap in the curtains slowly sprinkled on the bed, inexplicably giving off a faint feeling of desolation.

Who is Professor Moody and why Mr. Crouch appears in Hogwarts has become a lingering problem for her...
