Hufflepuff never works overtime

"Do you think Hermione almost lost all the points she earned this time?" Tarsila's voice sounded in her ear, and she was already imagining Miss Know-it-all jumping.

"She even showed off to me last week that she hasn't been deducted too much since the beginning of school. I didn't expect her to hold back a big move!"

Miriam heard the schadenfreude in the other party's tone, and then gave Tarsila an elbow. She cast a glance at Faise, who was standing beside the two with a dignified expression, and comforted her.

"50 points is for Granger, she will definitely make up for the rest of the day if she works harder, and she should not be the one who started it."

"Malfoy, he's been displeased with Hermione and Potter all the time, and there's news that he was one of the people arrested by Professor McGonagall last night."

Tarsila had a look of disdain. She really didn't like the way the father and son kept their faces sullen all day long, as if the whole world owed their family money.

"Hermione can rely on grades, Potter and Quidditch, but that Mr. Weasley probably has no hope, after all, the final exam is going to be in a month, I can't believe they really have the guts To cause such a big incident at such a tense time, should it be called Gryffindor..."

Miriam glared at the other party, and she really wanted to put her hand on the uncontrollable mouth, "But fortunately, they haven't been fired or injured, so it shouldn't be a serious matter, right Faith."

Chapter 68 late

"Hmm..." Although she agreed with the other party, Faith's expression was still unclear.

Since the last semester, she has noticed that Hermione has something to hide from herself, which is normal, even the closest friends will have their own secrets.

After all, she is a little lion who likes to explore, and she understands very well that she occasionally spends some harmless pranks with her two Gryffindor friends, or studies the secrets of the castle.

Hermione is also aware of her character, as long as she doesn't touch her warning line, Faise can let her enjoy a pleasant school life.

The premise of doing this is that these extracurricular activities have not affected Hermione's daily life - most of the time, she is still focused on the ocean of study, this is undoubtedly the most clear to myself who has been staying with her of.

But this time it was different. What did she see—the little lion, who valued points and honor very much, actually let 50 points slip away from her hands.

Even if that Mr. Malfoy might have set them up, according to Professor McGonagall's announcement, it is indeed a fact that the three of them walked around at night without permission.

But the figure that he had been looking forward to all morning never appeared in the auditorium.

She can't still not want to give me an explanation, isn't she a little... too indifferent to my thoughts.

Faith never thought that she would have such thoughts about Hermione. After seeing the notice, her complexion has not been very good-looking, and she can only barely pull out a perfunctory smile at Tarsila's jokes.

"If we finish eating, we should move to the classroom earlier, maybe Granger is already waiting for us there."

"Yeah, Hermione must have run over in advance to make preparations, after all, the atmosphere here is not very good," Tarsila also continued, "When Potter passed by the Snake Court just now, the group of people almost stood there. The table cheered."

"No way, Gryffindor had the opportunity to compete with Slytherin in the House Cup this year because of Granger, but now it can be said that they have given up the championship, and it feels like students from the same house The attitude is not very good..."

The two stood up and walked out of the auditorium while discussing the last two Quidditch games.

Faise was a step behind them, and took two muffin cakes on the table, just in case Hermione didn't have breakfast - she didn't think the other party left early.

After all, as long as Hermione came to the auditorium on time, there was no reason why she should not meet them.

"Our academy is the best. Anyway, no one has expectations, so there will be no such strange competitive spirit."

Although they left the auditorium earlier than usual, there were already many students in the classroom.

Something even weirder happened. I thought Hermione had arrived early, but I didn't expect to see that familiar figure in the herbal medicine classroom where students gathered together.

Hermione hadn't even appeared until Professor Sprout walked leisurely into the classroom.

Now even Tarsila realized that something was wrong. She poked her head out of the window to take a look, and murmured, "The big ball of light outside is the sun... Could it be that I am in a dream?"

"Pfft," Miriam on the side looked at the other party's tricks, and couldn't help laughing out loud. Noticing Faith's face getting darker, she quickly suppressed her smile.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door of the classroom, and Miriam hurriedly grabbed Faith.

"It should be her."

The figure of the Gryffindor trio appeared at the door, and Ron and Harry skillfully planned to sneak into the crowd. Unexpectedly, the person next to him who was late for the first time opened his mouth honestly.

"Sorry, Professor Sprout, we're late."

Sprout was standing in front of a blackout booth to introduce today's protagonist-Devil's Snare/Devil's Snare/, when her words were suddenly interrupted, she couldn't help but froze for a moment.

But when she saw who was coming, the gentle smile returned to her face, and she waved to him.

"So it's Miss Granger, why are you late today? Come on, today's class is very important."

"Are we wearing an invisibility cloak now?" Ron looked around at himself and Harry, "It's as if she didn't see us two living beings..."

Watching Hermione step forward obediently, they of course chose to stay where they were, Ron curled his lips and couldn't help complaining, "Is this the treatment of a bully?"

"It's nothing bad," Harry replied in a low voice, "It's better for us to keep a low profile these days... Have you forgotten the discussions in the auditorium this morning?"

"Those gossips," Ron slammed. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Slytherin's gleeful behavior in the morning. "They deserve to come out of the same yard as Snape."

Leaving aside what the two boys standing in the back row were discussing, Hermione managed to get through the middle of the students and walked behind the familiar figure.

She felt that there was something strange about Faise today, the other party hadn't even turned her head since she entered the door.

'Why are you so late today? '

Tarsila in the front row turned her head and asked herself with exaggerated mouth shapes.

Hermione spread her hand, and answered in a low voice, "It took too long to write the review last night, and I forgot to change the alarm clock time when I fell asleep. I just rushed to give the review to Professor McGonagall."

"It's not a problem for you to write a paper of five or six pages, but a small review has stumped you?"

The schadenfreude in Tarsila's tone caused Hermione to roll her eyes, "I'm sorry, last night was the first time I wrote a review, unlike you, after all, practice makes perfect in everything."

"Hmph, you are the best at talking."

Realizing that she had been shown off by the other party, Tarsila, who had nothing to refute, turned her head and chose to withdraw from the bickering.

"Faye?"

Hermione looked at the golden figure in front of her, and patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Here I am."

Faith didn't even turn her head, "Uh huh, you're very early today, I thought you were going to finish all your important affairs before coming to class."

She felt an inexplicable sense of irritability surging in her heart, especially when she saw Hermione arriving late with those two boys—here again, as long as she stays with these two boys, Hermione will always Will do something that breaks her principles.

Faith even couldn't help complaining to Weasley and Potter in her heart because of this, thinking that they must have brought the law-abiding Hermione to a bad end.

And the little lion, who has a keen sixth sense, immediately noticed the surging waves hidden under the calm face of the other party. She shrank her neck like a small animal.

Realizing that her behavior seemed a bit cowardly, Hermione coughed guiltily, grabbed Taxila who was next to Faise, and signaled the other party to quickly give up her 'queen' position.

Tarsila took the opportunity to make a strange face at her, and then was pulled away by Miriam, and Hermione stepped forward and stepped in.

The author's words:

The first grade is coming to an end~

Chapter 69 Confused

It's been a long time since the class started, but Faise didn't even give herself a look, and Hermione grabbed her long cuffs with some anxiety.

I was only a little late today, what did I miss, why did Faith look so angry?

Could it be that she guessed that she went to Hagrid without telling her last night?Couldn't it be Malfoy's loudspeaker deliberately publicizing their affairs...

Messy thoughts even blocked Professor Sprout's words from his ears, and Hermione was so curious why the other party behaved so strangely today.

She glanced at Faith's tense side face, and wanted to open her mouth to ask, but she was afraid that if she spoke rashly, it would ignite the already sensitive emotions of the other party.

After all, when mom and dad quarreled, their expressions were exactly the same as Faise's now.

Maybe it's not me, but something else is making her a little unhappy?

Feeling that her guess made sense, Hermione raised her slender eyebrows lightly, and immediately turned her head to the other major suspect beside her.

She poked the other side with her elbow, and in Tarsila's puzzled eyes, hinted the direction of Faith with her eyes, and then whispered.

"Is she in a bad mood today?"

Tarsila spread her hands, "How do I know, after seeing the announcement in the auditorium this morning, she just acted like that..."

"What announcement?"

"What else could it be? A notice of punishment for you, Potter, Weasley, and Malfoy. By the way, what did you do last night? Professor McGonagall is really willing to do so. That's 150 points..."

"what?!"

Hermione widened her eyes and licked her lips nervously, "You all know?"

"Hmm, it's not just us. The notice was posted at the entrance of the auditorium, and everyone who went to have breakfast saw it."

Well, it seems that the culprit who caused Faise to be in a bad mood should be that she didn't run away.

Hermione tugged at her long hair helplessly, and she couldn't help sighing.

My luck has been really bad for the past two days. I went to ask about Hagrid's Sorcerer's Stone yesterday. Before they could gather much information, Malfoy saw it.

Professor McGonagall said that they would be punished for what happened last night, and it would still be carried out by that annoying janitor Filch.

I don't know that there is no bad habit of corporal punishment in the wizarding world. Hearing Harry say that his uncle would always beat him for no reason when he was a child, it is simply terrible...

Before she even had time to confess what she had done to Faith, the facts of the crime and the punishment measures had already been announced, hoping that the other party would not feel that she was a bad boy because of this.

Tarsila and Hermione buried their heads in their conversations in the first row as if there was no one else around, and those whispers came to Faise's ears intermittently.

Seeing Professor Sprout, she couldn't help but glance in the direction of the two of them, and sighed silently in her heart.

Feeling her sleeve being pulled, Hermione saw that the other party was finally willing to talk to her, and hurriedly moved her head towards her, "What's wrong with Faise?"

"Hey, Miss Granger, do you have any doubts about what I just said?"

Professor Sprout saw that one of her lovers couldn't finish chatting enough, and she actually wanted to talk to another one. She couldn't help it, so she asked the other party to pay attention, it was still class time.

The teacher's voice came from in front of her, and Hermione realized for the first time that there would be a day when she would be caught distracted in class.

She seemed very at a loss, as if she had been put on the spot by the petrification spell, her face flushed instantly, and she almost blurted out an apology.

"She is a little confused about the danger of the devil's net you just mentioned. After all, its danger level in textbooks is not high, but it causes a lot of casualties every year."

"So that's the case," Sprout said with an appreciative smile on his round face, without any suspicion that the other party was lying.

She slowly explained, "This is a very good question, Miss Granger, what I'm going to explain to you next is this very interesting feature of the devil's net, the more people trapped in it struggle, the more It will be bound by it, if you relax your body, it will let go of the trapped person..."

"Thank you, Faith." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief as she felt the professor turn his attention away from them.

Her image of a good boy in Professor McGonagall's heart has been damaged. If she disappoints Professor Sprout again, she will really suffer a big blow.

Without replying to the other party's thanks, Faith leaned her head and whispered in her ear, "You must explain everything you have been hiding from me these days today, Hermione Granger,"

There was a gentle smile on her face, her eyes were looking directly at Professor Sprout, and she seemed to be listening with relish, but the threat in her words was extremely obvious.

"Now, listen to the class carefully."

The other party's breath blew against her ears, causing Hermione to cover her red ears in a hurry. She grabbed the other party's clothes and whispered back, "I know, don't be angry..."

Hermione should have had the most relaxing time with Hufflepuff.

Because she doesn't need to compete with Ravenclaw for class position and teacher's attention, nor does she need to listen to Slytherin's weirdness there.

But in the two classes this morning, Faise didn't take the initiative to say a word to herself.

Even though she answered Professor Sprout's question correctly, she didn't get the usual encouragement and praise, which made Hermione feel a little disappointed.

Although after the herb class was over, Tasi Lase gave herself two small cakes, and secretly said that they were handed over by Faith.

But this undoubtedly further proves that the other party really doesn't want to talk to me, otherwise why didn't she give it to me in person?

Not to mention that the second class is Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Quirrell's teaching level is as admirable as his body odor.

Listening to him stuttering about something he didn't know about, and seeing Faise's serious expression, Miss Xueba once again deserted on the way to class.

How can I make her feel better?

"Yes, does anyone want to answer this question?"

Poor Professor Quirrell looked forward to Hermione on the podium. After all, there are only a handful of people who are willing to interact with him in class.

He has been asking and answering several questions in a row, which makes him feel a little embarrassed.

Therefore, if the difficulty of the question is reduced again and again, almost anyone who has read the textbook can answer it.

It wasn't that the students in the audience didn't know the answer to the question. The vast majority of Hufflepuffs simply didn't want to take advantage of the limelight, while Gryffindor was wondering why Miss Know-it-all suddenly dropped the line today.

Could it be that the point deduction hit too hard last night?
