This Christmas holiday is a fruitful holiday for Harry.

On the first day, he managed to get Professor Slughorn's memory after drinking Felicia.

"What about seven, isn't seven the most magical number?"

The words that the young Voldemort asked not only made Professor Slughorn pale in memory, but also made Harry and Dumbledore tremble in the hearts of Harry and Dumbledore who were not in memory.

"Isn't it enough to kill one person? Kill seven more!!" Ron said in a low voice with his eyes widened after hearing Harry's recounted memory.

It was rare for Hermione to leave the Gryffindor common room. It can be said that she was worried about Harry's safety, but it was not unaccustomed to live alone there.

Ron and Hermione sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace and waited until the early hours of the next morning for Harry to return.Fortunately, waiting is worthwhile.

"No wonder Voldemort grew up like that later." Hermione was thoughtful. "Splitting the soul will certainly affect the appearance. A person's soul is no longer complete, so how can his appearance be the same as before?"

Harry nodded.

"So, did Professor Dumbledore tell you his guess as to what exactly a Horcrux is?" asked Ron.

Harry said, "What we know now is his own diary and the ring of the Gaunt family." Harry looked at Hermione and Ron and said, "Professor Dumbledore can only use what he knows Voldemort's character has been guessed. Voldemort's dependence on Hogwarts is unimaginable to ordinary people, so Professor Dumbledore believes that he wants to be recognized by Hogwarts in addition to blood."

Hermione went on to say, "Then, the representative relics of the four founders... is the key, so what are they? Moreover, Harry said that Professor Dumbledore said that Voldemort once worked as a clerk in Burkinburg ..." Her voice dropped, and her eyes lost focus.

Both Harry and Ron are very familiar with her state, because Hermione usually has this expression when searching her vast knowledge memory.

"Representative... Relic..." Hermione unconsciously repeated key words, "Key words?" She suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Hermione looked at Harry with an erratic voice, "I seem to... probably know."

Harry opened his mouth in surprise. Although he had long been used to the setting that Hermione seemed to be able to solve all problems, this time even Dumbledore couldn't guess the answer so quickly, and Hermione knew it?

"Yes, yes, that's it. He works as a clerk at Bokinbok, and he just wants to collect the relics of the four founders!" Hermione took out a piece of parchment and quickly wrote: Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, Lavin's Crowe's crown and Slytherin's locket, "These are the only ones I can think of at the moment, plus the diary and ring that have been destroyed, there are already five in total."

"Merlin's beard, Hermione, how do you know this?" Ron stared at the words on the parchment, dumbfounded.

Hermione rarely hesitated, "This... I read it from a book."

"what book?"

"I promise he won't say it."

Hermione thought of the book with a black cover on her desk, and thought of the weird snake, "Wait, do you guys look familiar with this?" Immediately afterwards, she drew the snake on the paper superior.

"This, isn't it the snake of the Dark Mark?" Ron muttered in a low voice, and after suddenly being stared at by Hermione and Harry, he quickly said, "I was just guessing, I just looked like it."

Hermione stood up excitedly, and patted Ron on the shoulder vigorously, "That's right, that's right, it's the snake of the Dark Mark, I mean, it looks familiar! It's Voldemort's symbol!"

Hermione started to circle around, muttering softly, "Yes, that's right, this can be solved. The book from Malfoy Manor must have passed through Voldemort's hands, maybe Voldemort also got inspiration from this book ...and with Voldemort's terrifying possessiveness, it's no surprise that he would carve a snake on the cover. Yes, yes!"

Ron protested, "Hermione, can you sit down and say, I'm going to be swooning."

Hermione stopped abruptly, "But, does he know this? If he knew, why would he lend me this book?"

"What is Hermione, who is he?" Harry asked.

"Is Professor Dumbledore still there? Harry, I'm going to find Professor Dumbledore!" Hermione rushed over and grabbed Harry by the collar.

"Ah, he should have left again. He was also very excited after talking to me, saying that he had an inspiration and wanted to confirm it immediately." Harry said.

Hermione let go of Harry's collar and collapsed on the sofa as if exhausted.

"I can't tell you what I thought of right now, I need to verify my idea with Professor Dumbledore, or wait for that person to prove it to me," Hermione held her forehead, "If what I guess is true If not, then we have probably wronged a good person all along.”

Ron and Harry looked at each other, "What are you talking about?"

While waiting for Draco to return to school, Hermione has been anxious. Although she has always believed in Draco on the surface, she is still wary of him in her heart.If her guess proved to be correct, then her long-standing defense was an invisible sword that hurt Draco.

Not even the sight of Mrs. Weasley actually knitting Lavender a bright red sweater with an "L" on it didn't really make her frown.

Except when discussing Horcruxes, Hermione was able to let go of her anxiety for a moment.

"What can destroy a Horcrux?" Hermione repeated Harry's question.

"My God, when can you use your brains and think about it?" Hermione looked at the two people who were used to getting answers directly from their own mouths.

"We thought about it..." Ron said, looking at Harry with aggrieved eyes.

"Okay, okay," Hermione was used to her compromise, "Harry, do you still remember that you destroyed Riddle's diary with the basilisk's fangs in the second year?"

Harry nodded.

"So, the fangs of the Basilisk can destroy Horcruxes," said Ron.

"That's right," Hermione assured Ron, and then went on, "So, Harry killed the basilisk with Gryffindor's sword, which absorbs snakes because of the fact that Gryffindor swords absorb magical qualities. The sword of Gryffindor, which blames Venom, also has the ability to destroy Horcruxes."

Harry and Ron suddenly realized, looked at Hermione, "Hermione, you are so smart!"

"The first grade in the grade is not something you can get casually!" Hermione raised her chin.

Although Hermione wanted to make time pass quickly, but life is like this, the more you want to speed up time, the more you will feel like years.

It can be said that Hermione's Christmas holiday was very bad. In sharp contrast to her, Harry and Ron, who said "Professor Dumbledore is here anyway, can solve any problems!" up.

Finally, the Christmas holiday that only Hermione felt was "long" was over.

In the morning, they sat at the Gryffindor table, eating a breakfast that had suddenly returned to normal.

"Why can't it be the Christmas holiday diet all year round?" Ron complained.

Harry also echoed from the sidelines.

"Okay, Ron, should you take a look at your protruding belly?" Hermione gave Ron a disgusted look.

"What a belly! I don't have a belly!" Ron gasped.

Harry laughed and choked milk down his trachea.

Hermione kept looking in the direction of the door until... Draco Malfoy strode in wearing a cloak, and she let go of the breath she had been holding.

Draco took off his cloak and threw it into Zabini's arms, then took his seat.As if feeling the gaze, he suddenly looked in Hermione's direction, and met Hermione's eyes.This time Hermione didn't dodge her gaze, but gave Draco a meaningful look before looking away.

"Huh?" Draco murmured inwardly, "Could it be...does she know something?"

On the day after the Christmas holiday, there are usually no classes, and Hogwarts very humanely leaves time for the little wizards to sort out their mood and give each other gifts.

Therefore, when Draco pushed open the door of the chairman's lounge, what he saw was Hermione sitting upright and waiting.

"You..." Draco was taken aback.

"Sit down, Draco," said Hermione, not forgetting that they had started calling each other by first names before the Christmas break.

Draco rubbed his nose helplessly, "Okay, Hermione."

"So... what did you do on vacation?"

Draco couldn't bear to look directly and turned his head to the side, "You're just asking this?"

Hermione nodded.

"Well, I went back to Malfoy Manor to accompany my mother to visit my father in Azkaban during the holidays. Then after Christmas, I went to Germany." Draco said bluntly.

Hermione tilted her head in doubt, "Germany? Did you go to Durmstrang? Do you want to transfer?"

"Yes, Germany. But..." Draco paused, "I will not be a deserter, I am like you, Hogwarts is my second home besides Malfoy Manor."

"So... this book..." Hermione finally returned to the topic, she took out the "Pure-Blood Secret and Glory", "Have you lent this book to others?"

Draco stared at Hermione with a faint smile on his lips, "Yes, but it was my grandfather's time."

Hermione drew a sharp breath, apparently following Draco's cue.

"So...so...you..."

"Hermione, I can't say anything now," Draco looked into Hermione's eyes, "If you didn't probably know everything, I wouldn't be able to say anything after connecting. So listen carefully, I will only say these words once .”

"Draco Malfoy isn't a good guy, but he's definitely not a bad guy either."

"Like all of you, I love Hogwarts very much, and I don't want it to be hurt. You just need to remember this. Don't ask about the rest, and I can't tell you."

"Perhaps, when everything is over, I can be honest with you."

"Do you understand?"

Hermione covered her mouth and nodded, tears welling in her eyes.

Draco was helpless again, stood up, walked in front of Hermione, stroked her hair, and fell on her shoulder again, "Well, Hermione, no matter what you imagine, I am not what you imagined Poor little one. I'm a year away from being an adult, enough to take on the responsibilities that have been placed upon me."

"So don't cry, okay?"
