I opened a blind box at Hogwarts

Chapter 23 The Night's Prize Showroom
The professors at Hogwarts are very responsible teachers, which are similar to the teachers of the Celestial Dynasty.

They are happy to see their students eager to learn, because they think that such students are more likely to succeed, and they are also happy to see such students have achievements.

This can show that although Professor Snape looked indifferent, he carefully recounted all the contents of Potions class this afternoon.

Of course there was nothing about him finding fault with Harry, not a single letter was said.

After he roughly finished the course content, he also thoughtfully arranged for Joshua a [-]-word essay on swelling medicine.

Snape also mentioned that the next lesson will be about brewing the swelling potion, so that he can put down his harsh words. If Joshua makes the swelling potion in the next class and he is not satisfied, Gryffindor will be deducted directly. twenty points.

But this kind of words, just listen to it, if you really deduct [-] points from Gryffindor because of a pot of potion, it is not the students of Gryffindor who are looking for him first, but Professor McGonagall.

When Joshua walked out of Snape's office, he found that it was completely night, because the lit basement corridor was darker than the daytime.

Joshua passed by a mural with a rich fruit plate. It is said that this is the door of the Hogwarts kitchen. As long as you gently scratch the pear on the picture of the fruit plate, the pear will laugh and then turn into a Green door handle.

But today, Joshua's food is not bad, so let's not panic in the kitchen.

Walking to the first floor, there were no traces of students here, and the sky was already pitch black. Joshua looked at his empty left wrist.

I vowed to pester my mother to buy me a mechanical watch when I came home from vacation.

When he came out of the basement, Joshua passed by Filch's office, but there was no one there. It seemed that Filch had already started his night patrol.

"It's not good to be caught by him."

Filch knew that although the students caught by him on night tours would not have any terrible end, they would inevitably be reprimanded by the professor and then put in confinement.

Joshua didn't want to get into such trouble.

But when he was thinking this way, at the corner of the corridor on the second floor, Mrs. Norris stared at Joshua with her bubbling red pupils.

"Meow~"

Mrs. Norris screamed softly. She took a light and authentic catwalk, came to sit down in front of Joshua, and watched Joshua wagging her tail.
For a moment, Joshua didn't understand what it meant.

"Meow~"

Mrs. Norris called out again, although it was also very soft, but it was a little hasty.

Joshua understood a little bit, it wanted cat food.

Take out the bag of low-quality cat food from the item space. Although it is said to be low-quality, it tastes okay. Except for the dry taste, this bag weighs more than ten catties.

Joshua grabbed a handful and sprinkled it on Mrs. Norris's side. Surprisingly, Mrs. Norris rubbed her little head against Joshua's hand.

This is a way for cats to express their liking.

Joshua, who was also eating cat food, suddenly wondered if he was a tauren or Filch?
At the same time, he said that the cat food tastes good.

But Joshua still has to hurry back to the lounge. Since Mrs. Norris is here, Filch should not be far away.

Joshua walked all the way to the fourth floor, in front of the prize showroom, and with his keen hearing, he noticed that there seemed to be someone in the prize showroom.

Maybe it was a senior student who went out at night, Joshua thought so, and he didn't want to cause trouble, but the light lit in front of the corridor on the fourth floor forced Joshua to sneak into the prize showroom, Avoid the professor who may be watching the night.

The candles in the trophy room were bright, and there was one person.

It was a big boy with clean and dry short brown hair. His body was stronger than that of any wizard of the same age that Joshua had ever seen.

Joshua looked at this person who was still cleaning constantly, and thought to himself, could it be that his physique was developed by doing this kind of thing often?
Obviously, things like cleaning the prize showroom are punishments for students who commit crimes.

The sound of Joshua entering the trophy room made the big boy who was cleaning turn his head.

It was a cheek that could still see immaturity, but besides immaturity, Joshua also saw vicissitudes and grief.

Joshua didn't speak, but put his palms together and showed a pleading look, and then hid behind the prize display cabinet.

Before long, there was a sound at the door.

"Mr Philip, why are you still here?"

"Professor Sprout, about my confinement, cleaning the prize room, and the last few, I intend to finish today."

"Is there anything unusual?"

"No, Professor."

The short conversation made Joshua's heart hang in his throat. From the robe of the big boy, it can be seen that he is a student of Gryffindor, but this does not mean that he is obliged to help Joshua .

But judging from the facts, he chose to help Joshua.

"Come out, Professor Sprout is gone."

Joshua came out from behind the prize display cabinet.

"Thank you very much for your help, senior. I think you are the Dickie Philip who beat up the Slytherin students?"

"That's right, it's me." Dicky then cleaned up with the sweeper in his hand, "You can leave now, don't bother me."

After Joshua thanked Dickie Philip once more, he walked out of the prize showroom, and after making sure that there were no traces of the professor or Filch near the corridor, he slipped all the way back to the door of the Gryffindor lounge.

All the way he was thinking about Dickie Phillips, that complicated cheek made Joshua feel weird, he seemed to have a lot of sad stories, and he had two guys, Crabbe and Goyle, as soon as school started. I was beaten up, which seemed to be quite ruthless.

This is also very strange.

"Password."

The fat lady was wearing pajamas, but she didn't sleep, because she knew that the little lions of Gryffindor would hardly stop until midnight.

"Dragon slag."

The Gryffindor lounge was pitch black, except for a small lamp with a faint flame on a table.

"Joshua, you are finally willing to come back!"

Hermione, who was sitting on the sofa and reading a book by the light, looked very angry when she saw Joshua.

And Hermione's yell woke up Neville who was dozing off on the sofa.

"Ah! I remember, Joshua, you borrowed my book~"

Joshua was quite surprised that someone was waiting for him in the lounge.

"It was a bit of a surprise. Professor Snape had a strong intention to teach, so it took a little longer."

Hermione strode up to Joshua, and the book she was holding was slapped hard on Joshua's body.

"Do you know that if you are caught by the night watch professor or Filch, Gryffindor will be deducted a lot of points, and you will be locked up after you have just been discharged from the hospital!"

Facing Hermione's accusation, Joshua was not only not angry, but also smiled happily, because he found that the warm and angry Hermione was also cute.

"Why are you staring at me? There's nothing on my face."

Hermione's tone became weaker and weaker, until finally, she couldn't take it anymore and ran back to the girls' dormitory.

"Oh, what happened?"

Neville was still confused.

"Come on, let's go back." Joshua carried Neville back to the boys' dormitory.
