Chapter 134

Hogwarts' school rules are written a lot in a section of school history, but the most important one has no trace—

That is: all the above regulations are invalid until discovered.

Corridor.

Mrs. Norris jumped onto a step; her figure was thin and sharp, and her dark gray fur was shining in the moonlight.

In the air, Xiang Xien heard his own heartbeat, hitting his eardrums like a drum, loud enough to wake up the portraits dozing on the wall.

Moonlight slanted in from the narrow, high window, casting pale spots of light on the stone floor, as if a few ghosts would jump out the next moment.

Night-wandering is strictly prohibited.

Although this is almost already a Gryffindor tradition, it does not mean that the professors will not severely punish these naughty little lions.

Xiang Xien remembered that after Harry and the others returned from the Forbidden Forest, they were discovered by Filch in the castle and reported to Professor Maige, so they were deducted a full 150 points and were also put in detention.

The reason was that students have no right to wander around the school in the middle of the night, which is very dangerous.

For Xiang Xien, deducting points was harmless; he could earn them back soon.

But detention was not; you know, detention means being sent by a professor to do some chores, which would undoubtedly take up a lot of time, and what Xiang Xien lacked most now was time.

So Xiang Xien's breathing became even heavier, and he thought of a lot in his mind in an instant—

If he were put in detention, then the efforts he had made for nearly a month would almost be in vain.
