A Hogwarts dissertation guide

"We need to see Mr. Crouch," Hermione said, "and we should also ask Professor Moody if he has found their attacker."

"If he carries the Marauder's Map, it shouldn't be difficult to find him," Harry said. "After all, the Marauder's Map will show everyone's name - my consciousness is the real name, just like Scabbers."

"Unless the attacker has left the grounds," Ron said, "because the map only draws the boundaries of the campus, right-"

"Shh!" Hermione said suddenly.

Someone was coming up the stairs toward the Owlery.Harry heard two voices arguing, getting closer.

"——That's blackmail, we will cause a lot of trouble, we have a stable income now, there is no need-"

"--we've tried to be polite, now it's time to be a villain, to someone like him. He certainly doesn't want the Ministry of Magic to know what he's done, and that's what we deserve--"

"I'm telling you, if you write this down, it's blackmail!"

"Yeah, you wouldn't complain if we could make a killing, right?"

The door to the owl loft slammed open.Fred and George stepped across the threshold and froze when they saw Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"What are you doing here?" Ron and Fred asked at the same time.

"Send the letter." Harry and George replied in unison.

"What, at this time?" Hermione and Fred said together.

Fred grinned.

"Okay - we won't ask you what you are doing, and you don't ask us either."

He held a sealed envelope in his hand.Harry glanced at it, but Fred's hand moved accidentally or intentionally, covering the name on the envelope.

"Okay, I won't block your way." Fred bowed pretendingly and pointed at the door.

Ron didn't move. "Who are you trying to blackmail?" he asked.

Fred's smile disappeared.Harry saw George glance at Fred and then smile at Ron.

"Don't be silly, I was joking." He said carelessly.

"That doesn't sound like it," Ron said.

Fred and George looked at each other, and Fred suddenly said: "I told you, Ron, if you like the shape of your nose now, just mind your own business. I don't understand why you are like this, but - —”

"If you're blackmailing anyone, that's no small business," said Ron. "George's right, you're going to get into big trouble."

"I told you I was joking," George said.He walked over to Fred, pulled the letter out of his hand, and tied it to the leg of the nearest owl. "You sound a bit like our dear brother, Ron. If you keep this up, you will become a prefect."

"No, I won't!" Ron said fiercely.

George carried the owl to the window and let it go.He turned back to Ron and smiled.

"Okay, then forget about this and that, bye."

He and Fred left the Owlery.Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other.

"Do you think they'll know anything?" Hermione asked quietly, "about Crouch?"

"No," Harry said. "If it was that serious, they would tell someone else. They would tell Dumbledore."

But Ron looked a little uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked him.

"Well..." Ron said slowly, "I don't know if they do. They... they've been obsessed with making money lately. I found out when I was with them - just when - you know ——”

"We were at odds and didn't talk." Harry said for him, "I know, but blackmail..."

"They want to open a joke shop," said Ron. "I thought they were just saying that to make Mum angry, but they really want to open one. They only have one year left at Hogwarts, and they always Said that they should make plans for the future. Dad can't help them, they need money to open a shop. Although they found a part-time job in Hogsmeade... but it is obviously not enough, will they go to-"

Hermione looked uneasy now.

"Yes, but...they won't do illegal things just to make money."

"Could it be?" Ron said doubtfully, "I don't know... they don't care whether it's against discipline, right?"

"Yes, but this is the law," Hermione frowned and said, "It's not some stupid school discipline... The consequences of blackmail are much more serious than confinement. Ron, you'd better tell Percy... If they If you really need money, I think I still have some here, if it’s not too much..."

"Are you crazy?" said Ron. "Are you going to invest in them? I admit that their pranks may be very creative, but there are already people in the wizarding world in this industry, right? Do you want them to join forces with James and Little Sirius competition?”

He looked at Harry, as if he felt a little sorry for speaking like this, shook his head slightly, and then said: "Come on, let's go have breakfast."

"Do you think it's too early to see Professor Moody?" Hermione asked as they descended the spiral staircase.

"Yeah," Harry said, "If we wake him up at dawn, he'll kick us out. He'll think we want to sneak up on him while he's asleep. It's better to wait until after class."

"I thought maybe I could ask the teacher, since he was there at the time," Hermione suggested.

So they decided to split up after class. Harry and Ron went to find Professor Moody, while Hermione went to find Edward.

History of Magic has never been as slow and difficult as it is today.Harry kept looking at Ron's watch because he had finally thrown away his own.But Ron's watch was running so slowly that he was sure it was broken too.The three of them were so tired that they really wanted to lie down on the desk and take a nap.Even Hermione didn't take notes, just stared at Professor Binns blankly.

The bell finally rang, and they parted at the classroom door and hurried through the corridor.Hermione walked up the stairs, and Edward happened to be coming down the stairs with a glass of pear and passion fruit. It could be seen that he was planning to go to the grass to bask in the sun as usual.

There is nothing more relaxing than a warm breeze blowing across a tranquil lake and then caressing your body.

"Teacher!" Hermione immediately called Edward.

"Good morning, Hermione." Edward said with a yawn, "I thought you were in class at this time."

"get out of class just ended."

He took a step back and read the command to the gargoyle, "Come in and talk, it looks like I'll be a little late. I hope Leon won't be anxious because he can't find the sun umbrella."
