Late at night, Irina sneaked out of the girls' dormitory, planning to head to the Hogwarts kitchens as usual and ask the House-elves of Hogwarts Castle for something to eat.
She had been too busy opening Christmas crackers at the Christmas feast earlier and had not eaten her fill!
With her Wand in one hand, she arrived at the Gryffindor Common Room.
It was already deep into the night. The Gryffindor Common Room was completely empty, and everything around her was shrouded in darkness. Anyone without a certain amount of courage would not dare wander around here alone.
But just as Irina was about to leave the Gryffindor Common Room, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.
"Holy shit, a ghost!"
When she found nothing behind her, Irina staggered backward in fright and fired several Glacier Spells at where she had been standing.
Icy blue beams flashed past, seeming to strike something.
Then, an Invisibility Cloak slid down like flowing water, revealing a boy inside who had been frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Harry?!"
Irina froze for a moment, then hurriedly lifted the spell on him.
Once thawed, Harry shivered all over. As he draped his Invisibility Cloak back over himself, he complained, "Irina, did you have to be so jumpy?! Where would a ghost even come from in the Gryffindor Common Room? Besides, there are ghosts here already, and I've never seen you afraid of them!"
Irina gave a soft snort. "You scared me. You deserved to be frozen into an ice sculpture!"
Harry said helplessly, "This Invisibility Cloak was my father's legacy. I just wanted to test how well it worked. Then I happened to see you here, so I wanted to ask if you'd like to sneak out for a nighttime stroll."
Irina spread her hands.
