Chapter 429: Wait a minute, I'm old... how?

The first thing that floated out was Helena. She was probably the person who cared about Hogwarts the most. She has been in this castle for the longest time, and because of her mother, she took this The old castle that has existed for more than a thousand years is regarded as its own home.
...
The dormitory tower of Hufflepuff College is the warmest home among the four colleges because they live in a tree house.
Their attic was originally a magical plant called the Genealogy Tree. It had thick branches and lush foliage, and gradually built a tower with it as the core of the house.
A long time ago, the ghosts of Hufflepuff lived in the roots of the genealogical tree, where various caves naturally grew, and the ghosts told stories by relying on the roots of the tree. These stories are the nutrients of the genealogical tree, allowing it to grow continuously. Later it had grown very tall, and a certain Hogwarts principal decided not to let it grow any further.
In the Hufflepuff common room, there is a low ceiling made of leaves, a warm fireplace, and delicious food at any time.
The tower is constructed entirely of wood and does not contain stones. Vibrant plants can be seen on the tables, chairs, stairs, and handrails, from small grasses as big as palms to flowers as large as a whole room, as if wrapped in A fairyland.
The rooms where the students live are like nests. Each dormitory is like a wooden barrel cut in half. The bottom of the wooden barrel is a fan-shaped window. There is also a comfortable small bed in the shape of a bird's nest. When the students start to fall asleep , The semicircular ceiling will be lit with fireflies, just like a night sky full of stars.
But today, there is a big trouble here.
The flame burned from the southeast corner of the tower, and the wood was flammable. Soon, the raging flame occupies one-third of the vertical space. It is so bright in the night, like a flame giant dozens of meters high.
Fortunately, that corner is not the location of the dormitory.
But slowly, the flames began to spread longitudinally, attacking inside.
During Helena's flight, the wand emitted several rays of light, and it landed in several dark places in Hogwarts.
Soon, several silhouettes rushed over, gathered here, looking at the Hufflepuff Tower that was swallowed by flames, their faces were ugly.
The flame finally made the family tree feel painful. It vibrated. All the students in every room on every floor were suddenly bounced off the bed and fell to the floor.
They scratched their heads blankly and looked left and right.
Then I noticed the fiery red and heat waves that came into view.
"Ahhhhh..."
"on fire……"
There were continuous screams of panic in the tower.
What magic, throw it all aside.
The professors not far below looked at the students who kept running out of the building, slightly relieved.
Despite their disheveled clothes, none of them showed signs of injury.
Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid... After coming here, they did not stop trying to extinguish the flame with magic.
But this is obviously not an easy task.
While waving his wand, Snape said coldly to the Hufflepuff students standing on the lawn: "Check out the dormitories whether everyone has come down."
Ms. Pomfrey yelled anxiously: "Is anyone getting smoke in the eyes, or burned by the flame, come to me."
...
It is located in a window on a high level.
Hermione looked down and said, "Harry, you help them quickly, or I think Hufflepuff’s dormitory is about to burn out."
"Ok."
Harry touched him: "Wait a minute, I'm old... where's the wand?"
"Brother, here." Astoria didn't know where to find the old wand and handed it to Harry.
Harry pointed at the sky above Hufflepuff's dormitory: "Clear water is like a spring."
If this water-calling magic is used by beginners, there may only be a small water column, which is about the same as a mouthful of water. After thorough mastering, you can change about as much as a bucket of water.
With the magical knowledge of professors like Hogwarts, at least half a cubic meter of water can be poured on the tower of Hufflepuff’s dormitory every time a spell is recited. This is half a ton, and the efficiency is far higher than that of Muggle World. Fire truck.
But when Harry used it, it was different.
A silver pike appeared directly, as if a huge waterfall somewhere intercepted it and smashed it on the upper floor of the Hufflepuff dormitory where the fire was strong.
Hey, hey...
The fire was extinguished cleanly, and a large cloud of white water rose up.
But unfortunately, although the large amount of water smashed down the tower, although it extinguished the fire in the tower, it also smashed the family tree tree with an unknown number of thick and dry branches. The cracking sound was like a firecracker, and the split branches exposed white tree cores .
Professor Sprout looked sadly at half of the scorched branches and so many broken branches, and said: "I need to prepare some nutrient solution. According to this injury, the family tree will not recover for at least one or two months. "
"Students are fine~EbookFREE.me~ Professor McGonagall said softly.
Then she looked at the hundreds of students who were relaxed because the fire was extinguished, and said, "Who can tell me, what is going on?"
Although the tone was not angry, everyone felt the air tight.
More than two hundred Hufflepuff students looked at each other.
Hagrid was like a huge black shadow. His bushy eyebrows were raised upwards, and his barely opened eyes opened, very bright.
On a piece of carbonized bark of the genealogical tree, there was a bright red flowing, as if red crystal had melted.
He strode over, carefully squeezing it up.
When he took it to Professor McGonagall, he muttered: "It's a fire ant. This kind of magical creature can reproduce quickly as long as there is fire. There is a large area there. It is very likely that a fire ant ignited the tower."
Snape said gloomily: "So, on Friday, isn't the content of your class this thing? It seems that this happened because you didn't care about your baby."
Hagrid was very angry: "Don't talk nonsense, I take care of the fire ants very well. I put them away as soon as the class is over. And how far away my hunting ground is from here, I can’t climb here for a week. ."
Professor Flitwick stood next to Hagrid’s boots and said: "Moreover, the lifespan of a fire ant is very short, only a few hours, unless someone keeps helping it get the energy for its survival."
"Huh." Snape sneered.
Professor McGonagall was thinking a little bit in her heart. She looked up at the black crowd and asked directly: "Who brought the fire ants from the Magical Animal Conservation Class to the dormitory?"
As soon as this was said, what did everyone mean.
It turns out that the fire was really caused by someone.
In one place, the faces of several girls suddenly turned pale and frightened.
