Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 341
"Madame Pomfrey told me that in order to prevent any misfortune among the three of you, she arranged you in different wards, and didn't allow you to visit each other when you were out of her sight, but obviously, you She didn't take her words seriously."

Professor McGonagall stared sternly at Harry and Ron who were getting up in a hurry, and said bitterly.

Harry and Ron had nothing to say except that they thought they were unlucky.

"Oh—Professor McGonagall—"

Hermione stammered,

"The two of them are here to ask me for lessons—" She lifted up the parchment that was filled with two-thirds of the bedside table, her hands trembling slightly,
"You know, we haven't had classes for a week, and we're all worried that we won't be able to keep up, so when we don't need to have a medical, we will discuss--I mean, preview the new class--"

Facts have proved that people with excellent academic performance are always more credible when they lie than those with poor grades. Harry can be sure that if he or Ron said that, Professor McGonagall's face would not be relieved.

"All right--"

Professor McGonagall's shoulders relaxed slightly, and she stared at Harry and Ron, misinterpreting the fear that the two little wizards lied to Hermione in case they were exposed as being afraid of not being able to keep up with the class concerns,
"At breakfast, Poppy left early in order not to delay the inspection of the three of you, so she didn't hear the Headmaster's order, and Albus thought--"

Looking at the three little wizards whose eyes were jumping up, the sternness on their faces completely melted, she smiled and said,

"He thinks a week of quarantine should be enough to show everyone that the three of you are safe and it's time for you to go back to Gryffindor."

Harry knew that he should be more reserved, just like Hermione thought, their only credit that night was to catch Pettigrew Peter back, but this is something that cannot be put on the table. In his eyes, they undoubtedly got into trouble for violating school rules.

But Harry couldn't help grinning.

He'd spent the night in the school hospital before, but it hadn't been as long or as hard as this time, he missed the four-poster bed in the dormitory, his roommates, Firebolts and Quidditch, he'd even swore , as long as it allowed him to leave the school hospital and return to Gryffindor, he was willing to take eight Potions lessons from Professor Snape a week.
Or, a Divination class with Professor Trelawney would do, preferably a Divination class, because now that Harry has finally figured out the origin of that big dog he saw on Magnolia Crescent, he doesn't have to be afraid anymore Nervously, the professor of divination class gave him another 'malicious' 'curse'.

"Of course, I personally think it would be more appropriate for you to leave tomorrow morning—"

Professor McGonagall's subsequent words immediately halved the happiness of the three little wizards who were filled with joy.

"One more thing, Miss Granger—"

Professor McGonagall glanced at the latest issue of "Wizard Weekly" that was lying on the bed, and didn't care about how they got this magazine during the quarantine period.
"This morning, I received a letter from Amostar, in which he told me about the broken time-turner of yours—"

Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall became furious again. She was going to reprimand Hermione for not reporting it to her immediately after the time converter was damaged, but when she saw Hermione clenched her fist nervously and Bo She couldn't bear to criticize the worry in Te and Weasley's eyes, and after sighing softly, she said solemnly,

"Amostar told me he did some work at the Ministry, and the Ministry of Magic decided not to pursue the broken Time-Turner, but needs you to write a statement explaining how it was broken by Greyback , this statement needs to be signed by me and Amosta, after that, he will hand over the statement to the Ministry.”

"It's that simple?"

Ron, who was punished for being punished by Hermione for forcing a lot of lost time-turners, asked subconsciously,

"There is no need to be fined a large amount of Galleons and then spend a few months in Azkaban."

"According to the normal process, this will be-"

Professor McGonagall stared at Ron with a downcast face and said,

"But apparently Amostar got through ahem, I mean, Greyback broke the Time-Turner when he tried to kidnap you in the Forbidden Forest didn't it, that's a good enough reason, the Ministry will consider the contingencies. "

The time-turner was not broken by Greyback, but somehow broke after experiencing a time travel, and Professor Bryan also knew about it.

Ron curled his lips, but said nothing.

The Weasley family's financial situation is indeed not good, but Ron is also a genuine "second-generation official". After being influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child, he still knows something about the "black-box operations" in the ministry that cannot be put on the table. Li's face looked a little unnatural.

Since Professor Brian took him to the underground world deep in Knockturn Alley last summer vacation, he realized that the wizarding world is not as beautiful as he imagined. Like the Muggle world, it is full of darkness and darkness. It's unfair, just like Hagrid and Buckbeak. So many little wizards saw it, and Malfoy was the one who caused the injury. However, under Malfoy's influence, the Ministry of Magic ignored the facts and prosecuted Buckbeak.

However, this matter is also resolved now.

When Hagrid returned to school a few days ago, Madam Pomfrey, please, sent a message to the three of them. The Committee for Handling Dangerous Animals had decided to withdraw the case, and according to Hagrid, it was all thanks to Professor Brian.

Powerful wizards are privileged.

This is true of Professor Brian, Principal Dumbledore, and even the influential Malfoy family.

That night in the Forbidden Forest, watching Professor Lupine and the others up close against Greyback, Harry had been annoyed that he couldn't be of any help, and now he found that Professor Brayne had handled one thing after another lightly. The difficult matter that made them frown, a small thought, began to take root in his heart.

The time-turner matter was settled properly, and for Harry and the others, the consequences of what happened the night of the werewolf riot were finally eliminated.

In order not to be imprisoned in Azkaban, after Professor McGonagall left, Hermione also kicked Harry and Ron out of her ward. For a whole day, she was busy with Professor Brian's statement until Before going to bed, when Madam Pomfrey needed to give them a final check, they entered Hermione's ward again. In the room that was clean and tidy in the morning, parchments full of words were scattered all over the floor and bed.

Hermione's hair was disheveled, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

Harry and Ron each picked up a discarded parchment and read it,
"Your storytelling is far worse than your homework essay, Hermione."

Ron couldn't help laughing, and what he got was Hermione's furious stare.

"Ahem, do you need our help, Hermione—"

Harry suppressed a smile and said,

"You know, Professor Trelawney's divination class requires a little skill if she wants to complete her homework satisfactorily."

It was obvious that they had only been in the school hospital for a week, but when the three of Harry stepped out of the gate of the school hospital, they suddenly felt an illusion as if they had passed away. The anticipation in their hearts was burning like a raging flame. They ran in the corridor, Can't wait to meet those fellow students in the Academy.

At [-]:[-] on Monday morning, most of the young wizards gathered in the Great Hall for breakfast. The three of Harry had a clear purpose, ran down the spiral staircase to the first floor, stepped out of the foyer and rushed into the Great Hall.

As soon as they entered here, they immediately realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

At the faculty dining table, except for Snape, every professor including Dumbledore was holding a copy of the Daily Prophet. They buried themselves in the words of the newspaper and read it with extreme concentration.

The situation of the little wizards sitting at the four long tables below was similar. They gathered around the students who had subscribed to the newspaper, pointing at the words in the newspaper.

"what happened?"

The three of Harry looked at each other in astonishment, and slowly approached where they usually sat. When they passed by Ginny, Ron asked in astonishment,
"I thought we were going to be warmly welcomed!"

Ron's voice brought back Ginny, who was with Colin, to her senses. When she saw Harry next to Ron, Ginny immediately beamed, but when she stood up, her lips turned pale ,

"The murderer of your parents, Harry"

Ginny took the newspaper from Colin's hand, and said to Harry with trembling lips,
"Sirius Black has been captured by the Ministry of Magic!"
