Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"I won't be selected for another day!"

"However, we still have to complete the homework assigned by the Charms class and Transfiguration class. There will be no less homework assigned by Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall, right? Besides, what can be explained? We can't tell him that we hate His stupid course!"

"We don't hate it!" said Hermione.

"That's what you said yourself, and I haven't forgotten the snails," said Ron grimly. "Now let me tell you, we were lucky we got away. You went to keep order at the beginning of school and didn't hear How can he talk about his idiot brother who, if we had stayed and continued the lessons, would be teaching Glop how to tie his shoes by now."

Chapter 1305 Not going to return it

Ron's point of view was not shared by everyone, and he was refuted as soon as he finished speaking.

"I don't hate Glop!" interjected Elaine, "I think he's a funny, fun big guy!"

"Fun? I heard he uprooted a tree!" said Ron, surprised that Elaine liked Glop.

"That's what makes him fun, isn't it? It's a pity that I didn't see him pulling up trees when I passed by last time..."

Ron opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, completely unable to follow her words.

When uprooting a tree becomes fun, isn't it dangerous and scary?

What is there to look forward to, why do you have to say it in that disappointed tone, and Elaine's cute look and cute tone when she said this, it doesn't match the terrible content she said, Gives a weird feeling.

Elaine's thoughts are always different from normal people, but this seems to be normal.

No one can ask a vampire to have the same thoughts as an ordinary wizard.

Among all people, only Ivan and Hermione can communicate with Elaine normally, and only the two of them can control her.

Other students, including Harry and Ron, were more or less scared or embarrassed when they thought of Elaine's identity.

So far, they'd been stuck in the way they spoke to her, and Ron had never contradicted Elaine the way he had with Hermione.

Having said that, besides Elaine's status as a vampire is indeed very deterrent, this situation is also related to her own daily behavior. This child will say some terrible words or do some terrible things at every turn, such as When confronting Umbridge before, Elaine suggested taking direct action to make Umbridge disappear, for example...

I always say these words, and I still have a serious expression that I am not joking again. Anyone who hears it will feel overwhelmed.

"What do you think?" Ron carefully moved his gaze to the others, deciding to ignore Elaine as much as possible.

"I don't want to be silent with Hagrid," said Hermione, looking sad.

"Then let's go visit Hagrid in a while and explain this to him well." Ivan comforted her.

He felt that if he didn't take the initiative to go to Hagrid, there might be a stalemate like this for a long time. Hagrid had always been extremely vulnerable in this kind of matter.

"Well, let's go after the Quidditch trials," said Harry. "We can have lunch at his place."

He missed Hagrid, too, but he, like Ron, thought it best not to have anything to do with Glop for the rest of his life.

"Maybe drop by the big guy..." Elaine said.

No one answered her words, just like that, the dining table returned to silence, and the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier.

Although it was still morning, the candles in the auditorium were lit, and the sound of raindrops hitting the glass could even be heard.

"Today is not a good weather for trials!"

Just then, the messenger owl came.

They swooped through the rain-splattered windows, showering raindrops on the heads and bodies of everyone in the auditorium.

Most people have more mail than usual since school started.

Worried parents are desperate for news of their children, who in turn tell their children that everything is fine at home.

Hedwig's snow-white figure was very conspicuous among the brown and gray owls, and it flew straight towards them.

"Could it be a letter from Sirius?"

"Probably not. He is abroad now, and Hedwig will not fly that far. Besides, he said in his last letter to me during the summer vacation that he will not contact us in the near future." Harry said, "Hedwig has a package , it should be the new textbook I ordered."

In his last letter, Sirius briefly talked about his fight against "Raven's Claw" in Southern Europe.

Because the confidentiality of owl mail is not good, he didn't say much, but told them that they discovered a new ancient era relic when they were tracking the important members of "Raven's Claw". Raven's Claw attaches great importance to this relic, There seems to be something in it.

Moreover, these things seem to be related to Voldemort, because there are already Death Eaters in "Raven's Claw"...

At the same time that Hedwig brought a big boxy package to Harry, an identical package fell in front of Ron, and his petite owl piggy was crushed under the package, already out of breath I'm angry.

"Sure enough, it's a new textbook!" Harry said, opening the package.

A brand new copy of "Advanced Potion Making" was revealed, which was just sent by Lihen Bookstore.

"Great!" Hermione said happily, "Now you can return that messy textbook, and then Ivan will destroy the one in his hand, so..."

"I'm not going to do that, Hermione!" said Harry. "I'm going to keep it! Look, I've thought about it!"

He pulled the old Advanced Potions-Making textbook out of his bag, tapped the cover with his wand, and said, "Rip apart!" The cover fell off immediately, and he did the same with the new book.Then Harry swapped the two covers, tapped each other again, and said, "Back to the original!"

So the Half-Blood Prince's copy was disguised as the new book.

But the new book just sent by Lihen Bookstore looked tattered, completely like a second-hand one, it couldn't be seen from the outside at all.

Hermione watched in disbelief as Harry did everything, looking shocked.

"I returned the new book to Slughorn, and he had nothing to complain about. It cost me nine Galleons."

Hermione pursed her lips, her face full of anger and dissatisfaction.

That's not what Harry had said just a few days earlier, when he had promised to exchange the old textbook for the new one when he received it.

But after these few days of Potions class, Harry, who was in the limelight in class, would not do this anymore. He couldn't do without the help of that textbook, but he didn't know that it was Snape's stuff. How would Harry feel after that...

In Ivan's view, Hermione would not let it go like this, she would definitely say something.

But just in time, a third owl landed in front of her with the day's Hogwarts Newsletter, diverting her attention.

The current newspaper is entirely under the responsibility of Mr. Guffey. He was previously the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet". Except for important matters, the newspaper now does not need to ask Ai Wen for his opinion in advance.

Therefore, what news they wanted to know, they had to get it from the latest issue of the newspaper that day.

Chapter 1306 Changes Around You

"Anyone we know died?" Ron asked in a falsely casual tone.

Every time Hermione opened the paper, he asked the question.

Since the summer vacation, tragic things have happened every day, making people nervous. Everyone is more concerned with the current situation in the magic world, but Ron himself does not subscribe to newspapers, and neither does Lavender, so his source of information is He Min, and then went to repeat it to Lavender.

Every morning, Hermione would read them a few of the important news of the day.

Sometimes, Neville, Ginny, and Colin would also come over to listen to her read the newspaper and express a few comments.

"No one was dead, but there have been reports of dementor attacks," said Hermione. "Also, one person has been arrested."

"Great, who is it?" Harry asked immediately, which was probably the best news he'd heard in a while.

Although the Ministry of Magic incident last semester captured many important Death Eaters to Azkaban and weakened Voldemort's power, there are still many who slipped through the net. The eaters that Ivan and Harry saw at Voldemort's resurrection ceremony that day Dead Apostles don't stop there.

Not to mention, Voldemort's power has been growing lately.

"Stan Thornpark," said Hermione.

"what?"

"How could it be him?"

"That knight bus conductor, what did he do?" Ivan also asked, he thought of the young man with pimples on his face, as far as he knew, this guy had a sense of humor and liked to brag, Talk big and show off.

Sampak did cause a lot of trouble, but if he was said to be a Death Eater, Ivan would not believe it.

Voldemort didn't recruit all kinds of wizards. As his most elite troops, the Death Eaters had a very high selection threshold.

If even a guy like Sampak was allowed to join, it would really underestimate Voldemort.

"Stan Thornpark!" read Hermione. "Famous Knight bus conductor, arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activity. Mr. Thornpark is twenty-one years old and his apartment in Clapham was raided last night by the Aurors." Detain him after the residence..."

"He can't be a Death Eater!" Harry judged before Hermione finished reading.

"If he is, he's probably the dumbest Death Eater I've ever seen!" Elaine said.

"Probably under the Imperius Curse." Ron analyzed reasonably, "It's impossible to say!"

"He's just the conductor of the Knight Bus, and it doesn't make sense to control him." Ivan shook his head.

"That's right, it said he was arrested after someone overheard him talking about the Death Eaters' secret plans in a tavern." Hermione looked up, with a troubled expression on her face, "It's so stupid to be in front of him." With so many people discussing the Death Eaters' secret plans, if he had the Imperius Curse, he wouldn't be able to go around talking about their plans, would he?"

"So, I'm still bragging." Ivan said.

The first time he met Thorn Parker was when he had just turned into a cat and followed Harry and couldn't change back.

How to put it, Sampak gave Ivan an unreliable impression, and she couldn't even tell the priority of things.

"I really don't understand what they're up to to take Stan's words seriously," said Harry dissatisfied.

"Probably to let everyone see what they are doing, people are panicking now." Hermione frowned and said, putting down the newspaper in her hand, "Don't worry about what the Ministry of Magic is doing, let's talk about the things in the school. I I told Ivan about this last night, that is, Hannah Aibo was called out in the herbal medicine class..."

Hermione did tell Ivan about this when she was alone last night.

Because after that, they never saw Hannah again.

Ivan deliberately contacted Ernie with the DA badge to confirm that Hannah had not returned to the Hufflepuff common room, and there was another sad news.

"What happened to Hannah? Where is she now?"

"She left Hogwarts, Hufflepuffs have spread, it is said that her mother was killed..." Hermione whispered.

Ivan glanced at Hufflepuff's long table, the atmosphere there seemed to be as gloomy as the weather outside.

Many people were whispering with their heads down, they must be talking about Hannah.

A murder that happened next to me, the murder of a student's parents, was far more shocking than what was seen in the newspapers. This incident has not yet spread in the school, so it did not cause panic, but it is also a matter of time. Things can't be hidden at Hogwarts.

"This is just the beginning, I heard last night that Parvati said her parents were taking her and her older sister Padma back to India. Aloise Midgen of Hufflepuff, she has done After finishing the withdrawal procedures, I will probably leave today, and..."

"Wait, Hermione, we don't know what you're talking about!" said Ron, staring at Hermione with wide eyes.

"Because you and Harry are so focused on Quidditch, you won't notice these changes," said Hermione. "In short, there are a lot of students in the school who are thinking about quitting. I dare say, This is just the beginning."

"Why would they do that? No matter how you think about it, Hogwarts is safer than their home, there is no doubt about it! We have Aurors, we have added so many protective spells, and Dumbledore!"

"No, I don't think he's actually been with us all the time," said Hermione in a low voice, glancing at the teacher's desk. "Didn't you notice? His seat has been as empty as Hagrid's since term started. "

"Yeah, he is indeed not here. Dumbledore has a lot of things to deal with, and he needs to organize things in the Order of the Phoenix." Ivan said, "However, he should come back tonight, because he wants me and Harry to come to his office."

"Dumbledore will come back some time, the key is the significance of this matter." Hermione continued, "Ivan, I thought about the recent things before going to bed last night, and I think your point of view is correct, Deng Bullido is often not at school, and from the perspective of the current situation is very serious, it may be related to that incident..."

In addition to the changes in the school, Ivan and Hermione talked about the magic and information left by Slytherin last night.

Both of them were in the cave below the vampire fortress. Hermione recorded a part of the ancient runes on the rock wall. After a period of deciphering, the information seemed to be related to the last brain of the evil god that Slytherin took away...

Dumbledore should already know these things, but he didn't say anything to Ivan.

Could that be why his right arm was covered in spells, if he was going to figure things out on his own? !

The heavy conversation ended with the arrival of Lavender and Parvati. As Hermione said, they both looked sad. Lavender was Parvati's best friend in school. If Patil The parents of the twin sisters want them out of Hogwarts, so they may not see each other again for a long time...

Chapter 1307 Hasty decision

With Voldemort and the dark forces active, this distinction will become more and more common.If the situation continues to deteriorate, an atmosphere of hopeless panic will envelop the country, and students, as a unique group, will become extra sensitive.

Looking at Lavender and Parvati who looked sad, and recalling the recent changes in the school, Ivan realized that Mrs. Weasley talked to them about what happened during the last wizarding war during the summer vacation. The feeling of arrival.

No matter how many times you hear others say it, you will only feel this atmosphere if you are actually in it.

When Voldemort was in power the last time, the students at Hogwarts were panicked and had a sense of precarity.

Things that required time to think carefully were all decided in a hurry.

In the school at that time, there were people running away or deciding on major life events everywhere, and no one wanted to miss it.

Even if they are not old enough, even if they don't think comprehensively enough, even if they don't get the consent of the family, even...

But no one cares, as long as there is love, many students become lovers in this way.

The same is true for Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley. In Mrs. Weasley's words, the two of them have long been in love and are a natural pair. There is no need to wait and get married directly, and there is no need to wait until graduation or With the consent of the family, the two sides think that they can be together...

The situation where panic spread made the students unwilling to waste time waiting.

Now, Hogwarts and the British wizarding world will face the same situation again, and presumably something similar will happen.

I don't know how many people will get together in the end, but Ivan feels that if the situation really deteriorates to a certain extent, before the final decisive battle, he will definitely choose to marry Hermione instead of leaving any regrets. Trust Hermione too.
