Hufflepuff never works overtime

that was horrible...

"Hmm, next time I go back, I will report."

Faise looked at the densely packed notes in the other party's notebook and a long timeline, and jokingly asked in order to change the subject, "Didn't you say you don't want to get involved in this matter, why did you memorize so many things?"

Hermione quickly closed her notebook, and said indifferently, "It's just for fun. I finished all my homework when you didn't wake up these few days. My brain won't turn and it's easy to get rusty."

"Are you sure you can hold back your curiosity?"

"Of course!" Hermione straightened up immediately, and her ears also stood up. "Until Ron apologizes to us, I will definitely not care about their mess anymore!"

"Unexpectedly firm, Miss Granger."

Having said that, Faise noticed that Hermione seemed to be particularly absent-minded when tutoring her thesis tonight, and some words fell out without thinking.

"Comparison of medicinal materials between anti-swelling potion and swelling potion..." Stretching out her hand and scratching her head, Faise was a little unsure about the ingredients of the two, but she was too lazy to flip through the book, so she poked the 'encyclopedia' beside her with her elbow ', "Hermione, what are the ingredients in the swelling potion?"

"Rooster, snake and spider..."

"Huh?" Miss Orest was even more confused when she got the unexpected answer. Her first reaction was to suspect that she had taken the contents of the dream as knowledge points again in class.

No... She didn't dare to close her eyes in Professor Snape's class.

"You said Ginny saw a snake, didn't you?"

Faise couldn't help being taken aback by Hermione's irrelevant answer, but she still nodded, "The rooster and the snake just passed by in a flash..."

"Okay." Hermione continued to look down at her notebook.

Faith sighed helplessly. It seems that the "Encyclopedia" is going to go on strike tonight, so she should skip the content that needs to be looked up.

But when it came time to start writing, she felt that everything was not to her liking—it was too hot with the quilt covered, or too cold without the quilt, she was thirsty and wanted to drink something sweet, and she felt hungry after drinking water ...

Faith was busy all round, and even went back to the dormitory to visit Sonny and two roommates to show off the crystal ball, and when she returned to the infirmary with a sumptuous dinner, Hermione was still studying the notes.

"I'm going to the library tomorrow to borrow some reference materials, do you have anything you want me to bring for you?"

Hermione, who was stuffing spaghetti into her mouth absent-mindedly, raised her head suddenly, and looked at the other party with shining brown eyes, "Yes, yes, yes! I'll make a list for you!"

"I still have a book I borrowed that I haven't returned. You can control the amount and borrow the most needed ones first." Faith took the opportunity to rub the trembling ears of the other party, and the touch was really irresistible.

In the end, it took a long time, and she just laid out a framework for the thesis. After eating and drinking, she packed up and went back to bed, and her eyelids started to fight automatically.

Hermione, who was still sorting out Ginny's timeline, felt her shoulders suddenly sink. The other person's drowsy head finally found support. Faith's long golden hair fell like a waterfall, covering her master's peaceful and beautiful sleeping face. .

"If there is a fast falling asleep competition, I will definitely win the ranking."

Hermione complained softly. She stretched out her slender fingers to pinch the other person's nose. Seeing that Faise frowned suddenly, she shook her head violently and sneezed like a puppy. She couldn't help it. Stop smiling.

It's a pity that such a prank has a price. The quill in Miss Orest's hand also "sneezed" under her action, and the black ink fell on the snow-white bed sheet, which looked very annoying.

"Oops...it won't work if Madam Pomfrey sees it."

Hermione quickly stuffed Faise into the bed, and got out of bed barefoot to find her wand, so as to clean up the ink stains.

Chapter 130 Four Guess

"click"

Faise rarely got up earlier than Hermione today, and she had already taken care of it before the arrival of the two roommates. She was curiously putting her head next to Tarsila, hoping to see the instruments in each other's hands clearly. .

"Is it OK to press it like this? I remember those cameramen on TV needing to adjust or something..."

Miriam shook her head, "Tasila's camera should not have so many complicated functions, and wizards don't pay much attention to professional photography."

"It doesn't look much different from a Muggle camera..." Faith looked at the camera carefully. Although she didn't have such a luxury at home, she had seen many advertisements on TV.

"I don't know the difference between a Muggle-made camera and a wizard's camera." Tarsila was very happy holding her Christmas present, "But Dad said that as long as it is processed with developing potion/Photograph Potion/, the people above will move."

"Like those pictures in school?"

Miriam shook her head hesitantly, "I don't think it's the same, the portraits have been specially processed, and the characters inside will behave autonomously, while the photos I saw at Tarsila's house just Just move."

Faith adjusted her glasses half-understanding, "That sounds like showing a short video."

"You can understand it that way." Milian nodded with a smile.

Although their voices were very low, they were all sitting on the next bed, and some laughter and exclamations that accidentally leaked still entered Hermione's ears.

The fine eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the hazy eyes turned clear after a while. She has always been a person with a very accurate biological clock, and today's staying in bed is also the result of conscious indulgence.

On weekdays when she was in school, she would get up early and go to the library to study even if there was no class. In order not to cause any further disputes in the already well-defined dormitory atmosphere, over time, Hermione got used to no longer using the alarm clock, but relying on her own biological clock to wake up .

"Well……"

Hearing the whispered whispers from the person who was supposed to be asleep, Feise walked over and patted the other person's body wrapped in the soft quilt comfortingly, "I'm sorry, did we wake you up? Let's sleep for a while..."

"It's okay, it's time to get up."

Hermione politely declined the other party's proposal to give herself a cleansing spell, and she was more used to the refreshing taste of toothpaste in her mouth to start a new day.

Tarsila saw the other party's long hair that became a mess after a night of tossing, and one pricked up and one drooping ear on his head. She snickered and recorded this scene with the camera in her hand. .

"What are you talking about?" Hermione blocked the harsh sunlight with her hands. She was lying on the bed alone yesterday, unable to sleep, her mind was full of Ginny's business.

With a toothbrush in her mouth, she poked her head out of the small bathroom, looking curiously at the three girls sitting on the bed.

"Tasila's dad bought her a camera for Christmas and she brought it for us to see."

Camera... So speaking of it, Colin was holding a camera when he was petrified.

Hermione's hand holding the toothbrush waved unconsciously, her eyes staring at the video camera in Tarsila's hand, and there seemed to be an illusory thread in her mind that could connect everything, but she hadn't been able to grasp it yet.

"Hermione? You're in a daze again..."

Faith watched helplessly as the white foam flowed down the opponent's forearm to the elbow, and hurriedly pushed the absent-minded little lion back into the bathroom, "What are you thinking about?"

"Gululu..." Hermione simply rinsed her mouth, and wiped her face with the towel that Faith handed over, "Why are those victims just petrified?"

"Huh?" Faith was stunned for a moment, and she touched her neck hesitantly, "Maybe it's the bad intentions of the mastermind behind the scenes? Do you think this is enough to cause panic and force Muggle wizards to drop out of school?"

Hermione shook her head disapprovingly, "If you are a pure-blood who aims to scare Muggle wizards, why should you petrify Madam Norris and Sir Nicholas, and according to Madam Pomfrey, the state of petrification is equivalent to The mandrake resurrection potion can be lifted without any sequelae..."

Faith raised one eyebrow lightly, seeming to understand what the other person meant, "Indeed, the owner of the diary is obviously not a person with good intentions, and with Ginny as his cover, so far only the petrified The victim is a bit strange..."

"I have two guesses now," Hermione stretched out her finger, "One is that the murderer behind the scenes is not so powerful, his ability is limited, he can only petrify the victim; the second is that the murderer behind the scenes The murderer employed a method to kill those victims, but for some reason they just petrified."

"It seems that you have an idea, doesn't it?" Faise heard the urging voice of Tarsila outside the door, she looked at Hermione who was serious and still thinking and smiled, and wanted the other party to really deal with this case. It's really hard to ignore.

"I'll tell you when they leave!"

Hermione's eyes flashed with excitement, and she could feel that the veil of all these secrets was gradually lifted by herself, and the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction made her want to stop.

"It took too long for the two of you, you have to hold hands even to go to the toilet?" Tarsila looked at the two who were whispering again, spread her hands and sighed, "What a child... "

"Just wash up, okay, don't say it so strange." Hermione rolled her eyes at her, "Why did you come so early today, I thought you just went back to school yesterday, and you would definitely want to have a good rest."

Miriam's face became a little strange when she heard this, but Tarsila said bluntly, "You gave me the crystal ball beside Faise's bed, right?"

"Hmm," Hermione nodded slightly smugly, "I made it myself, it looks pretty good."

"Put a lion in Hufflepuff's dormitory, you're the only one who can do it..." Tarsila just couldn't see Hermione being arrogant in front of her, so she stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek, Rub vigorously.

Faith watched them fight with a smile on the side, and noticed that Hermione's cheeks were flushed, she couldn't help but patted Tarsila's hand lightly, "Come on, didn't you say yesterday Are you envious?"

"Hmph," Tarsila crossed her arms in dissatisfaction, "provided that the big ball of light can turn off the light! It was lit all night yesterday, and Miriam and I put several layers of clothes on it to sleep !"

The author's words:

This morning, I was suddenly notified of the nucleic acid test again, so the update was late...

Thanks to the judges who have been helping me vote, woo woo woo woo, you are more punctual than me every day

Chapter 130 Five Separate Actions

After seeing off Miriam and Tarsila, Faise could catch sight of the person sitting on the bed with his head upright and his brows full of eagerness from the corner of his vision, and the corners of her mouth curled up in amusing.

The tail behind Hermione was raised high, and when she realized that Faise did not go to her but chose to pour water first, she drooped down in frustration.

After playing with the big cat like this for a long time, Faise almost walked around the small infirmary, and the anxious eyes behind her almost poked a hole out of her.

"Faye..."

"Here we come, don't rush."

Passing the prepared warm water and potion to the other party, Hermione swallowed it without even frowning. She was more conscious than someone who was afraid of suffering and pain.

Before Faise had time to hand over the handkerchief, she saw the other party wipe her mouth with her sleeve, and she reluctantly took the finished medicine bottle and put it on the bedside, "Mrs. Miss you."

"If you don't tell, she won't know." Hermione raised her eyebrows indifferently. She patted the seat beside her with her hand, signaling the restless audience to take their seats quickly, and the speech was about to begin.

"So, what new discovery has our clever Miss Granger made?" Faith said in an exaggerated tone.

Hermione was very satisfied with such flattery, she spread out the notebook in her hand, "I recorded several suspicious things from this semester, and found that there is a conjecture that can link them together reasonably."

"Except for the point I just mentioned to you, at the Deathday Dinner, Harry once heard an inexplicable voice coming from the wall, whispering whispers eager to kill, but Ron, who was walking with him, didn't listen. arrive."

"Is this what they were trying to hide from me that day?"

Hermione nodded and continued, "We now all know that Harry has the talent of Parseltongue. If Harry didn't have hallucinations that day, maybe he heard the snake talking."

"You mean...there is a snake hidden in the walls of Hogwarts, and this snake is the murderer behind all this panic?" Faith frowned, "And what about Ginny and that diary?" what happend?"

"No, no, no," Hermione shook her head quickly, "I think someone—maybe Malfoy's father or someone else who wanted to make things difficult for Muggle wizards—deliberately gave Ginny the diary and controlled Then she smuggled the big snake into Hogwarts and started a murder of Muggle wizards."

"Can a little girl really do these things?" Faith was still a little puzzled, but she also felt that Hermione's conjecture could explain the existing mysteries to a certain extent.

"I'm not sure about the specific part, but based on the spiders running around that night, the rooster that was killed inexplicably, and the fact that the victim was petrified, I think of a monster!"

"Feise, do you still remember that during the summer vacation before we entered Hogwarts, didn't you recommend me some books related to magical animals? There is an animal in it that fits the current situation very well." Hermione shook Faise's shoulder excitedly, "It's a XXXXX-level/known wizard-killing animal/monster, and you joked with me that it looks like Medusa in mythology."

"Wait, wait a minute, Hermione, don't get excited..."

Faith patted the other's hands pinching her shoulders, her lips were tightly pressed together, trying to find out the monster Hermione was talking about from her vague memory.

After being reminded by the other party, it is true that she is not completely unimpressed, but two years have passed, even if she has read the book twice, it is impossible for her to be able to recognize hundreds of magical animals like the other party. One has a complete impression.

Faith hesitated and said, "I remember that it seems to be a snake hatched by a frog or a rooster. If you look directly into its eyes, you will die directly, but if you see it indirectly, you will only be petrified..."

"Yes! That's the one, I said I remember seeing it!"

"I want to ask Ginny! She must know something else," Hermione's eyes widened suddenly, she danced excitedly on the bed, and the pages of the notebook in her hand almost fell out when she waved it around, " She was very impressed with the snake and the rooster, and there must be some clues left behind that we don't know, maybe those clues hint at the hiding place of the snake and the identity of the murderer behind the scenes!"

"Calm down, Hermione." Faith stopped the other party's ambition, dumbfounded. "Before that, shouldn't we report these discoveries to the professors, and let them..."

"Please, Faise, I promise I will be very careful!" Hermione looked at the other party with pleading eyes, her flexible tail sneaked out from behind and wrapped around Faise's leg, and the fluffy touch made her shudder. trembled.

"I just want to find out whether my guess is right. If all this is just my imagination and I misunderstand Ginny, it will be embarrassing, okay..."

The girl in front of her was like a shrewd big cat. She clearly grasped her own mind and tried her best - coquettish, pleading, and shameless, making it impossible to refuse.

Faith felt as if she had fallen into those watery brown eyes, and couldn't bear to see the other party's lost look. After all, emotion overcame reason, and she nodded unconsciously.

"Great!"

Clutching her forehead blankly, Faise felt that she just nodded her head was simply obsessed, "You asked me to say whatever I have before, but even if I don't allow it, you still have a way to make me give in..."

"But this is what you're going to do~" The big cat who had succeeded in the plan seemed very satisfied, and Hermione also learned the essence of cats crossing rivers and destroying bridges. She hummed an unknown song and let go of Faise, who was standing in the same place. , picked up the notebook next to the bed, and began to think about what questions to ask.

"Why don't we go find Weasley's sister together," Faith tried to make amends, she always had an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness, "I really don't trust you alone, in case she is controlled to do something Something bad happened to you..."

"No problem," Hermione waved her hand, and her bare legs kicked the quilt restlessly, "Besides, you are a Hufflepuff, how did you get into our common room, you can't start making compound soup now Potion."

"We can wait at the door of the lounge and grab her as soon as she comes out..."

"Then Ron will definitely hate me," Hermione curled her lips in dissatisfaction when she mentioned the boy's name, but when she thought that she was one step closer to the truth, the satisfaction in her heart still covered up her unhappiness, "I still I want to talk to her in private, in a place where there are not many people, and I think she will confess."

Thinking of Ginny's haggard and uneasy look when she was with Ginny in the infirmary, it is undeniable that Hermione also had some selfish intentions.

Once this incident is reported to the teacher or heard by other people, regardless of whether Ginny is being used by others, the girl's school life will be over. With four victims, she will be subjected to desperate school violence.

Looking up at Faise who looked helpless, Hermione became more determined not to let Ginny fall into that situation.

The best option is to persuade Ginny to explain all this to the professors herself. She believes that Professor McGonagall and Principal Dumbledore will definitely make the most suitable arrangement!

Hermione slowly loosened her clenched hands on the bed sheet, and she put her forehead against Faith's shoulder and rubbed gently, "Promise me, I'll go to Ginny later, and you go to find out about snakes." data of!"

"Just talk?"
