Andros never expected that Hermione would be so sharp.

She just accidentally said the wrong thing, but she was able to react immediately and almost guess the truth of the matter.

"You think the professor did it, right?"

"Which professor will it be?"

"Snape?"

Facing the girl's barrage of questions, Andros really didn't know how to answer.

He was never willing to tell the girl these things because he didn't want her to be involved in danger again.

"I don't know anything, and even if I really know something, I won't say anything. This is not something that the two of us should consider. I think you need to understand one thing. No matter who is causing trouble, it has nothing to do with us. .”

Andros blocked Hermione with words, choking back the latter's questions.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to tell Hermione any information that might reveal the plot.

Why are everyone so curious?

Don’t you know that the more curious you are, the faster you will die?

snort!Hermione raised her mouth angrily, turned her head, and ignored Andros.

With an indescribable intuition, the girl had long sensed that Andros was definitely hiding something from her.

"Okay, my tone just now was too harsh. Don't think about it for now. I want to visit Hagrid tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?" I looked at my unhappy expression written all over my face. Hermione, Andros tried to divert the girl's attention to other things.

"Hagrid?" Hermione still looked a little unfamiliar with the name.

"It's the tall man who seems to be twice the size of a normal person. The giant who came to pick us up when we entered Hogwarts."

"Isn't he a professor at school?" Hermione thought about it carefully. She did often see a big man wearing a moleskin coat in the auditorium.

"Well, not yet, Hagrid is the gamekeeper, and his home is at the edge of the forest." Andros explained in a low voice.

"Eh? When did you become so familiar with him?"

"Have you forgotten? I was detained by Snape before and was punished to patrol the Forbidden Forest. He led us there that night. We have a good relationship."

"But, he looks so fierce." Recalling Hagrid's appearance, Hermione shrank her neck unnaturally.

That big, bearded face looked somewhat scary.

"Don't worry, Hermione. Hagrid is a very enthusiastic person. He will never make things difficult for you. And did I tell you that he is very good at raising those magical creatures? Haven't you always wanted to have a pet? ?Maybe you can ask his opinion."

Although he said this, Andros was actually very dissatisfied in his heart.

He felt that Hagrid would not offer any reliable opinions.

Just look at this guy’s unique aesthetic!

Which pet he likes doesn't have spikes, claws, venom, or a bloody mouth that can tear people into pieces.

Hermione must not be led astray by him.

Andros could not imagine how horrible it would be if Hermione's tastes became like Hagrid's.

"Okay." Hermione finally nodded and agreed. In addition to studying, she was also reading books every day. In fact, sometimes she was also looking forward to some interesting things in her heart.

"Then it's settled. I'll be waiting for you in the foyer on the first floor of the castle at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

........

The next morning, Andros appeared at the foyer on the first floor of the castle on time. He came very early, and Hermione hadn't finished breakfast yet.

Ever since Pansy took the initiative to ask about Hermione on the court, Andros no longer took the initiative to look for girls on the long table in Ravenclaw.

In addition to avoiding the eyes of Pansy and others, what happened on the Quidditch pitch also served as a cover for Andros.

Under the order of Senior Sister Farley, all Slytherins became low-key. They hid in the dark and quietly waited for the storm to subside.

However, this does not stop Andros and Hermione from studying together.

They would often "encounter" each other in the library and find themselves sitting at the same table studying.

From time to time, the two of them would chatter and bite their ears, just like yesterday.

In general, their relationship was not affected at all, it just naturally went underground.

...

Why hasn't she come out yet?

Thinking of this, Andros raised his head. He was leaning against the wall of the corridor, his eyes looking outside the door of the auditorium. Hermione still didn't come out, and Andros's eyes shifted to the statue next to the marble stairs.

It was an old wizard wearing a tall pointed wizard hat. He must be very old, because the beard on his chin looked like it could be tucked into his pants like Dumbledore.

One hand of the old wizard held a long and narrow scroll, and the other hand held a model of a castle, which seemed to be what Hogwarts Castle looked like. It was shrunk and placed in the palm of the statue.

I really don’t know who this old wizard is?

The earliest owner of Hogwarts Castle?

Or the principal who was so bored that he made himself into a statue?

"Ender, let's go!" Just as Andros was observing carefully, Hermione's voice came from not far away.

"Hermione, do you know which wizard this statue commemorates?" Andros asked, pointing to the statue not far away.

"If I remember correctly, he should be Aldridge, an architect active in the Middle Ages. It is mentioned in "Hogwarts: A School History" that the Four Giants once hired him to design the castle.

It was he and Ms. Ravenclaw who gradually transformed the castle into what it is today. This statue should have been erected by future generations to commemorate him. "

"It's really yours. Do you know such a remote history?"

"Don't you think the history of wizards is interesting? Those real experiences that happened in the history of magic, I think they are even more fascinating than the best Muggle fairy tales."

No wonder you can listen to Professor Binns' History of Magic.

Andros couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Okay, okay, let's talk as we go, otherwise Hagrid will be in a hurry."

Under his leadership, the two people walked through the cloister and finally walked out of the castle gate.

It was already completely white outside, the green lawn was already covered with several feet of snow, and the lake not far away was also covered with thick ice.

It had just snowed last night. On the grass outside the castle, they were walking along the guessed path, one step deeper and one shallower. This path was full of footprints.

It must have been stepped on by students going to the greenhouse for herbal medicine classes.

The weather was naturally getting colder and colder. Andros and Hermione took out their wands one after another. Along with the sound of spells, two blue flames spurted out from the wands.

The flame seemed to be alive, happily surrounding the two of them, melting the falling snowflakes, and dispelling the chill brought by the cold wind.

This bad weather is nothing to the wizard.

Knowing magic is really very convenient.
