"The latest report from the Ministry of Magic. According to the latest speech by the Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, the number of people acquitted from Azkaban has reached 110, and the number of people afflicted by the Imperius Curse is still at Rising. The good news is that Sean Ogden, the former Deputy Chief of Staff of the Auror Office, has agreed to serve as Chief of the Auror Office today. The Aurors have formed a special operations team to find and help the trapped wizards and creatures who died in the struggle. The Minister of Magic insisted on emphasizing in the interview that we will not spare a guilty person, nor will we wrong an innocent person."

It had been five days since the great battle, and Jacqueline was lying on the hospital bed alive and well, listening to Hermione read her the latest news from the "Daily Prophet".

"My poor godfather," Jacqueline stuck out her tongue at Hermione, "rather than staying in the office filling out paperwork and making reports, he would rather run all over the country hunting down those Death Eaters. "

"You're right." Hermione happily folded the newspaper and put it on Jacqueline's bedside table, which was full of candy and snacks.Most of them were sent by Norm from Castle Graham.And some of the latest products from their shop sent by Fred Weasley, The Weasley Brothers Joke Shop is back in business.And on top of the pile of food is a handmade snake-shaped crown, needless to say it was made by Luna.In the beginning, the crown would call out 'Slytherin' every few minutes, but now it just limply called out 'S... ling...'.Jacqueline was very curious, why Madam Pomfrey, who has always believed that patients should have a quiet environment, hasn't thrown this thing out yet.

Pansy would come to see Jacqueline every day after school, but when she saw Jacqueline and Hermione looking at each other affectionately, she would always make a tut-tsk sound, and then walk out with a look of disdain.

But Jacqueline is no match for Harry Potter.Two days ago, when Madam Pomfrey escorted Harry to the school hospital and forced him to lie here for a whole day, countless pink greeting cards and candies almost overwhelmed the school hospital.

"I think Mr. Ogden can come to Hogwarts, because there is a Death Eater lying in front of me, and I heard that she has the trust of Voldemort."

Jacqueline laughed.After a while, she couldn't help laughing before Jacqueline stopped, "Seriously," Jacqueline held Hermione's hand, "I found out that the Daily Prophet has started calling Kingsley is now the Minister of Magic, not the interim minister, when did he become a full-time minister? Did the few of us agree?"

"Jacqueline..." Hermione smiled softly, rubbing the back of Jacqueline's hand with her thumb. "You are now a patient."

"Okay, okay." Jacqueline flattened her mouth in dissatisfaction, "For the sake of Professor Lupine, let you people from the Order of the Phoenix take advantage of it." Jacqueline said with some helplessness Shrugged emphatically, "Our dear Professor Graham, completely ignoring his daughter lying in the school hospital, is racing against time to study how to travel around the world with her boyfriend. It's a waste to even take a look. time."

"Because Professor Graham believes in you." Hermione looked at Jacqueline with a smile, "You used to take good care of yourself, not to mention, now..."

"You're still here now." Jacqueline held Hermione's hand and looked at her with a smile.Hermione looked at her too, and they smiled and looked at each other until Madam Pomfrey drew back the curtain and walked in.

Madam Pomfrey seemed to be accustomed to the intimate scenes of the two, she looked down at Jacqueline self-consciously, "How do you feel today?"

"It couldn't be better." Jacqueline looked at her with hope, "Of course if you can let me be discharged early..."

"Don't even think about it." Madam Pomfrey said forcefully, "You are..."

"A person who has just been cursed by Avada Kedavra and died once." Jacqueline finished Madam Pomfrey's words with her mouth curled up. "But," Jacqueline moved her hips, and she sat up a little more, as if she could speak more convincingly. "Harry Potter was also hit by Avada. Although I don't know how he came back to life, why did you only let him stay here for a day!"

"You're different from him, Jacqueline," Hermione reassured softly.Jacqueline glared angrily, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Listen to your girlfriend," Madam Pomfrey said. "You'll recover faster if you don't sneak out at night."

"I don't agree at all." Jacqueline straightened her back, and she argued, "How can I sleep soundly without holding my girlfriend? And if I can't sleep well..."

Before Jacqueline could finish her sentence, Madam Pomfrey had already turned and walked out. Jacqueline could only stare at her bed curtain and sulk.Then she turned her head and said to Hermione half-complainingly, "Thank you so much, I need such support."

"You are indeed different from Harry." Hermione patted the quilt on Jacqueline's body lightly, and explained patiently, "Harry has already told us everything. When Voldemort wanted to kill him, But I don’t know why I attached part of my soul to Harry, so Harry also became a Horcrux.”

"What?" Jacqueline looked at Hermione in surprise, but she soon realized, "So, that's why Potter can speak Parseltongue? And he can also read Voldemort's mind from time to time. Oh "Jacqueline nodded, "So, that day, when Voldemort used the Avatar to kill Potter, Potter didn't actually die, but the piece of Voldemort's soul in Potter's body disappeared. .Then, okay." Jacqueline shrugged, "So, I really can't compare with him, after all, I'm just an ordinary person with a mortal body."

"A very brave, ordinary person whom I deeply love." Hermione looked at Jacqueline tenderly.

"That's what I like to hear from you." Jacqueline laughed. "So I decided, I forgive you for not helping me escape from this place."

"Oh, Jacqueline."

They stared at each other for a long time, until Madam Pomfrey came in again and brought Jacqueline's sick meal.Hermione got up and helped Jacqueline upright the pillow so she could lean back better.Madam Pomfrey was right. Although Jacqueline looked radiant, she was actually very weak.Although a life was saved by the medicine from Graham's family, she still can only drink some light liquid food like noodles and chicken soup.This was the greatest torture for Jacqueline.

A few days later, Madam Pomfrey allowed Jacqueline to leave the school hospital. Jacqueline always believed that it was because she had no reason to let herself stay.

The advantage of skipping classes for almost a year is that while other students at Hogwarts are worrying about their final exams, Jacqueline and Hermione can go to Hogsmeade in a fair manner. village.Yes, final exams, "Schools were closed even during Voldemort's reign, I can't think of any reason why you would cancel your final exams." Professor McGonagall said the day after Voldemort's death, when it was proposed whether to cancel as the Department of Education OWLs and NEWTs exams are the same, when the final exam is canceled, so said to all the students in the auditorium.

So amidst the wailing and sighing, except for the students in the fifth and seventh grades, everyone else could only follow the devil's review plan formulated by the professors.

Perhaps the most depressing one is Harry. He has no way to have a good relationship with Ginny, and even if Harry wants to help Ginny, as far as his knowledge is concerned, there is nothing he can do.So he had to hide in the Gryffindor lounge and play wizard chess with Ron every day.

The village of Hogsmeade was still very depressed, and there were still not many people on the street. Even the once-popular Honeydukes Candy Shop, Zocco's Magical Joke Shop, and the Three Broomsticks Bar were tightly closed.Jacqueline and Hermione were both a little embarrassed as they walked down the deserted street holding hands.

"Well, that, I think..." When Jacqueline and Hermione walked past the Wenrenju quill shop, Jacqueline glanced at the closed door from the corner of her eye, "How about we still..."

"Would you like to sit in the Hog's Head?" Hermione asked, turning her head. "I think it's still open anyway."

Jacqueline blinked, she thought for a while, then scratched her head in embarrassment, "Indeed, Aberforth should still be there, it's just..." Jacqueline looked a little reluctant.Hermione looked at her suspiciously.

Jacqueline turned around, she shrugged her shoulders at Hermione, "Well, I don't know if he mentioned it to you, but actually, I've known him since I was a child, and told him Go through my plan. But..."

Jacqueline shook her head. "He has always disapproved of it. He thinks that these things have nothing to do with children. Even if there is a plan, it should be carried out by his brother, that is, Albus Dumbledore. So," Jacqueline pursed her lips helplessly, "I don't know if he will throw me out if I go over now."

"He won't." Hermione held Jacqueline's hands. "He's just like me, Professor Graham and Mr. Harris, worried about your safety. If he really wanted to object, he would They won't help Neville and the others, and they won't help us contact Neville and the Order of the Phoenix."

Jacqueline frowned slightly and looked at Hermione, then she nodded, "You should be right." Then she laughed, "Even if he really wanted to do something, I'm afraid he can't do it now , after all, I am a wounded person who has just endured the Avada Kedavra curse and died once."

Hermione squeezed Jacqueline's hand with some distress, and they turned around and walked towards the Pig's Head Bar.

The door to the Hog's Head is closed like any other store, and there is a 'CLOSED' sign on the door.Both Jacqueline and Hermione were stunned. Hermione pouted and wanted to go back, but Jacqueline still pulled her and pushed open the door of the bar.

"Aren't you literate?" Aberforth was standing behind the bar, wiping a glass, and when he heard the door open, he raised his head and shouted rudely, "There's... oh, you A little bastard who deserves to stay in hell."

When Aberforth saw Jacqueline and Hermione walking in, he cursed angrily, "Get out, this place can't accommodate a person who has died once."

Jacqueline laughed. She and Hermione walked to the bar and took out a gold Galleon from her pocket. "Two glasses of butterbeer."

"Are you blind?" cried Aberforth. "It's closed. No butterbeer."

Jacqueline was not angry, she tilted her head, "Okay, then what do you have here, just give us two copies."

"Firewhiskey!" said Aberforth. "The strongest kind!"

Hermione laughed out loud, but Jacqueline jumped in anger. "Aberforth!" she yelled.

Aberforth snorted, and he swept the Galleon Jacqueline left on the bar into an empty can, turned around and took out two bottles of butterbeer that were still warm, opened them, and slammed them Fell in front of both of them.

"The last two bottles, drink it, drink it quickly. Get out of here quickly after drinking it."

Hermione raised her eyebrows as she took the butterbeer and sipped it.But Jacqueline didn't.She frowned, looked Aberforth up and down, then turned to look at the bar carefully.

"Where are you going?" Jacqueline asked sharply, staring at Aberforth.

Hermione was a little taken aback, she put down the butterbeer that was brought to her mouth, and looked at Aberforth with Jacqueline.Aberforth glared at Jacqueline, as if she had revealed some little secret that shouldn't be revealed.

"Where are you going, huh." Aberforth took out a big, dirty mug from behind the bar and took a swig, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I already told your mother that next month I won't rent anymore. Go cry, bastard, the last tenant is gone, and your pocket money for next month will be less than half!"

Jacqueline pressed her hands on the bar, and she stared closely at Aberforth, "You know that the rent in this village and Diagon Alley only accounts for a small part of our family's income. Where are you going?"

Aberforth angrily threw the dirty rag in his hand into a bucket, and he said angrily, "I can go wherever I like, this is my freedom."

Jacqueline ignored him, still staring at her relentlessly.

"Well," Aberforth finally gave up, he let out a long sigh, "Now that things are over, where else can I go, of course I'm going home, you fool."

"But, Mr. Dumbledore..." said Hermione.Aberforth waved.

"Call me Aberforth," said Aberforth blandly, "Mr. Dumbledore, that's my saintly brother."

"Aberforth, why are you leaving?" Hermione leaned forward slightly, "Since Voldemort is dead, you..."

"It's because he's dead!" Aberforth said a little rudely, "I'm here because my good brother wants me to collect information for him, but it's unnecessary now. Me and Ariana are here for me Brother's lofty dream has already paid too much, and," Aberforth pointed to Jacqueline, "I don't have much energy to toss with such a bastard. It's time to go home and rest."

As Aberforth said, he seemed to have thought of something, took out an old key from his pocket, and threw it in front of Jacqueline, "It's useless if I want it, you can keep it for yourself."

Jacqueline stared at the key, she blinked, her eyes were slightly red.Hermione gripped her hand tightly under the bar.

"You're just going back to Godric's Hollow." It took Jacqueline a long time to recover. She shrugged her shoulders as if nothing happened, and put the key in her pocket. "It's not a life or death. If I want to Finding you is just a blink of an eye."

"That's my house!" roared Aberforth. "If I don't welcome, no one will set foot in it!"

When it started to get dark, Aberforth started urging the two of them back.Jacqueline didn't want to, she wanted to stay a little longer.But Aberforth yelled loudly that if they didn't leave, they would never set foot in his house next time.

As the sun set, Jacqueline and Hermione reluctantly walked towards Hogwarts castle.

Jacqueline frowned along the way, and Hermione couldn't say anything, so she could only hold her hand tightly.It wasn't until they entered the Hogwarts campus that Jacqueline let out a long sigh.Before she could speak, Hermione asked softly.

"Are you all right, Jacqueline."

Jacqueline shook her head slightly, and then she patted Hermione's hand again, indicating that she had no major problem, "It's just that they all left one by one, and I'm not used to it."

"I understand." Hermione rested her head on Jacqueline's shoulder, and Jacqueline put her arms around Hermione's waist.They walked across the school lawn in silence, and as they walked up the castle steps, Hermione suggested softly, "We can go see Aberforth again tomorrow if you want."

Jacqueline shook her head, and she sighed softly, "He's still there just to wait for us, tomorrow, he won't be here anymore."
