I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 36
Time flies, the final exams are approaching soon, the students at Hogwarts are getting very busy, people studying can be seen everywhere in the library, and there is no one fighting in the Gryffindor common room , the students were all doing their best to review their homework, only Orlando looked at his book leisurely as always, and he had never seen him do any homework.

This made Harry, Ron, and the others envious and jealous. Since they experienced the point deduction incident together, the relationship between the three of them is not good. It can often be seen that he, Ron, and Hermione are always alone together. Reviewing late into the night every day, trying to memorize complex potion formulas, spells and spells, dates of major magical inventions and goblin rebellions...  

"Orlando, why don't you need to study, aren't you afraid of failing the exam?" Ron couldn't help asking.

"Review? There's absolutely no need for that." Orlando said with great confidence.

Hermione was a little worried, so she took out the notebook where she recorded the key points of the exam, handed it to Orlando, and said kindly: "Orlando, this is the key points I recorded for the exam, please copy it for you."

"Thank you, Hermione, I won't have to."

A joke, Orlando, who has the ability of photographic memory, still needs to memorize the key points of the exam, isn't that a joke?

"It's partial, Hermione. We asked you for it several times, but you refused to give it." Ron said sourly.

"Yeah, it's too partial," Harry said too.

"That's because you're lazy, you didn't write it down even though I told you the key points," Hermione said angrily.

"Orlando didn't write either?" Harry muttered.

"Yes." Ron replied unwillingly.

"How do you compare with Orlando? Others insist on exercising in the morning, but you are still asleep; others teach themselves potions, and have published several papers; others never doze off in class, concentrate on reading, and even the professor appreciates the questions they ask , earned more points for Gryffindor than the whole class combined." Hermione retorted plausibly.

"Others, others, knew they would say that." Ron muttered softly.

Seeing that they were here, they were not in the mood to review their homework, so Orlando simply found an excuse and went back to the dormitory.In the past few days, the teacher didn't know what he was trying to do. He insisted that the exam was approaching, so that he could review well at school without running around.

Forget it, the same goes for practicing in the dormitory.

The next morning, while the students were sitting around eating, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all received notes.Three identical notes: Your detention begins at eleven o'clock tonight, find Mr. Filch in the foyer.

Originally thought that Hermione earned 150 points for Gryffindor, and even if this matter was over, she still couldn't escape the punishment.

Orlando leaned over to take a look, couldn't hold back, and laughed.

Harry kept his face dark and silent, and Ron shivered for a long time. He had never been locked up before, and this was the first time, but he had heard Fred talk about the horrors of lock-up, so he was terrified.

Only Hermione was more bland, she felt that this was the punishment they deserved for violating the school rules.

"Okay, you don't need to be scared like this. You must know that no student in Hogwarts has been injured because of confinement, so it is at best a punishment."

"Why don't you come with us, Orlando?" Harry said anxiously.

"That's right, Orlando, you are so powerful, you can come with us." Ron suddenly gained confidence.

"You really think, let me accompany you to suffer, is this human?" Orlando was speechless, who are these people?
"Orlando, are we friends? Shouldn't friends be in trouble together?" Ron seemed to grasp at a straw.

Hermione was also a little moved. Ever since experiencing the troll incident, Orlando had unknowingly become tall and mysterious in her heart, and she looked at him hopefully.

"I really can't do anything about you, so I'll go along with you. It's agreed in advance that I will put an invisibility talisman on it. If I can't do it, I won't do it. After all, this is your confinement."

"Yeah." Harry and Ron clapped their hands together and hugged each other happily. Hermione also looked happy, as if confinement suddenly became less scary.

Originally, Orlando thought that since he sent the little dragon Norbert away, the confinement should never happen again, but who knew that the power of the plot was so powerful, it still happened in a roundabout way, and Hermione was also implicated in it.

This should be regarded as the first shot in the post-Voldemort era, and Orlando felt somewhat guilty about this guy who snooped on the Sorcerer's Stone.You know, during the heyday of the Dark Lord, he almost unified the British Isles. At that time, the Ministry of Magic was tightened step by step, and even Dumbledore dared not face it head-on, which shows how powerful it is.

But now, the Dark Lord is not what it used to be. A desolate remnant soul is not worthy of Orlando's concession, and let him break his wrist.

At eleven o'clock at night, they said goodbye to the Weasley brothers in the common room, and then went downstairs with Orlando to the foyer, where Filch was already waiting, and Orlando was invisible at this time.

"Come with me," said Filch, lighting a lamp, and leading them out.

"I think you'll have to think twice about breaking school rules in the future, don't you, huh?" He squinted at them and continued, "Oh, yeah...if you ask me, I'd say Work and hard work are the best teachers....It's a pity that they abolished the old fashioned punishment...Hanging you by the wrists and hanging you from the ceiling for days. I still have them in my office Those chains are often oiled, maybe one day they will come in handy... Well, let's go, don't even think about running away. If you run away, you will have no good fruit to eat."

Hermione's face turned pale from fright, and she carefully walked behind holding the hem of her clothes, as if she wanted to stay away from Filch. Orlando patted her shoulder smugly to make her relax.

On the contrary, Harry and Ron knew that Orlando was following them, so they were not afraid at all. Instead, they laughed and laughed, which made Filch very angry. There is no student in confinement who does not tremble, which makes him very embarrassed , the tone of speaking became more and more eerie.

They strode across the dark field, and the moon was shining brightly, but clouds kept drifting over to cover the moon, and they were plunged into darkness.Harry could see the lighted windows of Hagrid's cabin.Then they heard a cry in the distance.

"Is that you, Filch? Come on, I'm leaving."

Harry's and Ron's hearts jumped at hearing it was Hagrid's voice, and Hermione was no longer so frightened.Not too bad if they were going to labor with Hagrid.

It seems that Hagrid's appearance made Filch's already unhappy mood even worse, and Filch said: "You probably thought you would have a good time with that idiot? Think again, boy— You are going to the Forbidden Forest! Forbidden Forest! If you can come out safe and sound, then I will be wrong."

Filch's words made the three of Harry's hearts hang again, and Orlando curled his lips speechlessly behind him, this difficult experience arranged by Dumbledore. felt like it played any role.

Of course, this might be a good challenge for a rookie like Harry, so let’s count it as a challenge.

"The Forbidden Forest?" Ron repeated, his voice trembling enough to hear the clinking of teeth, "We can't go in in the middle of the night - there's everything in there - I heard Charlie say there were werewolves."

Hermione was also terrified, and kept tugging at Harry's clothes. Harry didn't know much about werewolves, so he was not as scared as Ron.

"You can only blame yourself, don't you?" Filch said, his voice hilarious. "You should have thought about these werewolves before you got into trouble, didn't you?"

Hagrid strode toward them from the darkness, Fang following.Hagrid carried his huge crossbow, and a full quiver slung over his shoulders.

Fang jumped past the crowd, barking into the darkness where Orlando was hiding.

"Damn it, forget about Hagrid's dog. My invisibility charm can only hide my body shape, but not my smell."

"What's wrong with Yaya?" Ron asked in surprise.

Harry looked behind him, suddenly came to his senses, and rushed to save Fang Fang's head, and then Ron also reacted, and hurried over to help.

"There is a situation." Hagrid pointed his bow and arrow in the direction of Orlando like a conditioned reflex, "Where is who? If you don't come out, I will shoot an arrow."

Hermione screamed and threw her arms around Hagrid's arm.

"What's the situation? Hagrid." Filch also became nervous.

Harry and Ron had a hard time pulling Fang back.

Orlando, who was invisible only in the dark, was also startled into a cold sweat. Hagrid's arrow actually made him feel like he was being targeted by someone. Although he couldn't pose a threat to him, it was a bad feeling to be aimed at with a bow and arrow.
Orlando resorted to the lightness technique, and he retreated lightly to the big tree 30 meters away, out of the distance, Yaya stopped roaring and let Harry and Ron pull him.

After a while of vigilance, seeing no one appeared, and Fang no longer behaved abnormally, Hagrid relaxed his vigilance. Maybe it was the ghost wolf in the Forbidden Forest or something else, but he should have been scared away.

"Maybe it's a ghost wolf?"

"Ghost wolf?" Filch shivered. "How did they appear here?"

"How do I know this, let's not talk about it, the time is almost up, we should start. I have been waiting for half an hour, how about it, Harry, Hermione and Ron."

"You shouldn't have been so polite to them, Hagrid," said Filch dryly. "After all, they came here to be punished."

"That's why you're late, isn't it?" Hagrid said, waving his massive arms and frowning at Filch. "Been teaching them, huh? This isn't the place for you to lecture people. Your job done." I am in charge from now on."

Hagrid didn't want to talk to Filch very much, which made Filch very angry. Although he was a squib and was not welcomed by the wizarding world, his strong self-esteem did not allow anyone to take him lightly.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "I'll come back at dawn and pick up their wreckage." He said viciously, then turned and walked towards the castle, and the lamp faltered and disappeared into the darkness.

"Bah, the bad pus." Ron said indignantly.

"That's right." Hermione didn't have any affection for this guy. Although she had sympathy for the weak, she couldn't sympathize with someone like Filch.

"Hagrid, that's Orlando, please make it quiet." Harry whispered while pulling his teeth.

"Orlando, where is it? Why can't I see it?"

"He's invisible, Hagrid, and Fang almost gave him away," Hermione complained.

"Let him come out quickly, the Forbidden Forest is not an ordinary place, Orlando, come out quickly."

Hagrid's voice spread far away, startling a crowd of birds, and Orlando, who was hiding in the tree, was in a cold sweat. What kind of teammates are these? It's a scam.

Harry hastily let go of Fang Fang, hugged Hagrid's arm and slapped it vigorously, and shouted under his breath, "Hagrid, stop shouting, Orlando sneaked out, do you want us to be punished again?"

Hagrid looked embarrassed, and he scratched his tangled hair, "Okay, I won't shout, you tell him to be careful and not to stay too far behind us, so I can rescue him in time if something happens."

"Orlando doesn't need rescue. With his ability, he can walk sideways in the Forbidden Forest." Ron scoffed at Hagrid's words. Ever since he saw Orlando fighting a giant monster with his bare hands, he believed in Orlando's ability.

Hagrid rubbed his palms together, and said in a coy tone, "That's true, this kid is a humanoid dragon, I've never seen such a student, really."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, let's hurry up, I'm afraid of the darkness here." Hermione hurriedly urged a few people chatting endlessly.

"Hermione is right, we have to hurry up, listen carefully now, what we are going to do tonight is very dangerous, I don't want to put anyone in danger, come with me here first."

Hagrid led the crowd to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. For fear that Orlando, who was hiding in the dark, would not know, he held up the oil lamp and pointed to a narrow path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the dark forest. They walked along the path to Walking in the Forbidden Forest, a gust of wind blew in and swayed their hair, making people feel a little bit chilly.

Orlando followed behind him all the way without making the slightest sound. After Yaya found out the truth, he began to hold his breath, slow down his heartbeat, and keep his breath from leaking out, so as to make up for the lack of invisibility.

"Look over there," said Hagrid. "See that shiny thing on the ground? It's silver? That's unicorn blood. A unicorn in the Forbidden Forest was wounded by something. It's heavy. This is the second time in a week, I found one dead last Wednesday. We're fighting to find that poor unicorn and bring it out of its misery."
