The gloom that lasted for many days finally dissipated on the first day of the new year. The rising sun shone on the white playground, and the reflected light covered Hogwarts Castle with a layer of pale golden gauze.
After preparing the recovery potion that Hermione must take early, Madam Pomfrey went downstairs to have breakfast in the auditorium. In the school hospital, only Harry and Ron accompanied the dejected Hermione. And after listening to Hermione describe what happened last night, their expressions were far from happy.
"Professor Snape must know"
Hermione covered her furry face with her hands, looking frustrated,
"Snape before the door opened. The professor called out my name. This shouldn't be the case. No one except Madam Pomfrey knew about my condition. Professor Snape was the master of potions. He must know the consequences of using polyjuice potion for animal transformation. Then, it does not mean that he knew that I stole the materials from his storage room."
Harry stared blankly at the golf clubs standing tall on the playground. Today, he and Ron had planned to visit later. After Hermione, we went to the playground to play Quidditch together, but now it seems that this plan will undoubtedly be cancelled.
Furthermore, since the Christmas holidays, the good mood brought about by no one in the castle secretly talking about his Parseltongue or secretly accusing him of being the heir of Slytherin has also faded quickly, for all reasons , all stemming from the young wizard named Amostabrain that Hermione had just told him about.
"Amosta Blaine, claims to be an investigator."
Harry asked worriedly, "Hermione, do you think that Blaine entered Hogg What does Watts want to investigate?"
"No need to ask, Harry, is there anything else worth investigating in the school now?"
Harry and Ron didn't seem worried at all. She was fired because of this, which made the little witch who was in a bad mood even more irritable.
Harry felt that his stomach, which was warm from the white rice porridge he drank in the morning, was twitching due to an inexplicable chill. He had never heard of this name, and besides Mr. Weasley, he had never known anyone. He had dealt with any wizard with an official title, but this did not prevent him from feeling heavy pressure after hearing the name Investigator.
Because of his Parseltongue, he is already the object of suspicion among the young wizards. If everyone knows that there is an investigator in the school in the second half of the semester, how much criticism will he have to bear
Harry could already see a triumphant expression on Malfoy's disgusting face. Perhaps, he would be the first to report himself to the investigator.
"Why did the Ministry of Magic suddenly send an investigator into the school? I mean, there is Principal Dumbledore in the school, and he never mentioned it to me."
Mentioned This, Harry suddenly remembered the night when Justin was attacked, he and Principal Dumbledore had a conversation in his office. At that time, for various reasons, especially the fear that Principal Dumbledore would Mistakenly thought he was with Slytherin House’s founder had some connection, so he didn’t confess Dobby’s warnings and the terrifying sounds that would appear before each attack.
Could it be that Principal Dumbledore was dissatisfied with his concealment, so he agreed to let the Ministry of Magic take over?
Then would the Ministry of Magic try to save trouble and just listen to the rumors in the school? Put him in the wizard prison that Malfoy mentioned
"Of course, Harry, it must be Snape's old bat who is secretly causing trouble"
Ron, who was grabbing half a potato pie, turned up his freckled nose and swore firmly,
"Think about it, Harry, this Blaine has a close relationship with Snape. Maybe, he He is a graduate of Slytherin House."
Ron started chewing his potato cakes again, and analyzed in a decent manner,
"Who wants to get you out of here the most? There is no doubt that it is Snape. I bet, Harry, that this inquisitor was brought in by Snape to do this."
"Thank you, Ron, for listening to you. Analysis, I feel much better."
Harry sat on the edge of the bed and said listlessly.
"Stop talking nonsense, Ron."
No matter for whatever reason, since Snape did not directly expose him last night, it seems to mean that he will not Hermione was kicked out of the school for stealing the professor's finances. After thinking about this, Hermione was slightly less nervous. She crossed her arms on her chest and glared at Ron menacingly,
"Even the Minister of Magic , and has no right to expel a Hogwarts student at will, unless Principal Dumbledore nods, but Harry, Principal Dumbledore will not expel you, right?"
If Before that conversation, Harry might have been able to give a positive answer. He had always sensed that the old man with silver beard and hair looked a little different to him and the other little wizards, even though they had few direct conversations.
"Maybe, Hermione,"
Harry replied hesitantly, "At least, Dumbledore told Hagrid that he didn't think I attacked Colin. They, he can't agree to fire me just because I hid something from him."
While Harry was worried about the consequences, Ron, who was refuted by Hermione, still whispered his views. , suddenly, he frowned and looked at the pure white ceiling, making a recalling expression,
"Amostabrian, I really wonder where I have heard this name before"
This low murmur immediately woke Harry up,
"Ron, since this Brian calls himself an investigator, in comparison, he must be a colleague of Mr. Weasley or something. , maybe, their relationship is not bad, maybe you can write me a letter and ask, I mean, explain in advance, before he finds me"
Ron's parents, Weasley The couple are Harry's favorite wizards, and they are also very friendly to him. The week he spent with the Weasleys last yearIt was the most wonderful period of summer vacation in so many years. If Mr. Weasley knew Amostabrian, then he would definitely not refuse to help him defend himself.
The golden sunshine gradually climbed up to the clubs on the playground, and the breeze lingering on the spacious grassland was mixed with a bit of spring.
"Of course, Harry, I can write"
Ron responded hesitantly, still recalling where he heard the name,
"Fred and George may have heard of it. As for Prefect Percy, oh, we'd better not look for him. For the sake of his career, he might be more willing to betray us than Malfoy."
p>"That's your brother, Ron"
Hermione lifted the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed and put on her boots,
"You shouldn't say that about him "
Among the three, Hermione has the highest opinion of Ron's brother Percy Weasley. In private, she has asked Percy for help on many difficult issues, and Percy has indeed used it. His rich knowledge helped Hermione solve many problems.
"Before he became a prefect and determined to be the president of the Boys' Student Union, we were indeed brothers, but it's hard to tell now."
Ron's ears were red, He said angrily, "I will never forget the five points he gave me in front of Myrtle's bathroom"
"Percy is a prefect and it is his duty to maintain discipline, Ron "
Although she was present when Percy deducted points from Ron, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Percy's behavior.
Hermione stood up and stamped her boots, then turned up the collar of her wizard robe, trying to cover the black hair on her cheeks as much as possible,
"Go get your invisibility cloak. Come on, Harry, do you want me to walk out of the campus hospital like this?"
"Oh, let's go out"
Harry, who was in a daze, came to his senses in surprise,
>"Are you going to play Quidditch with us, Hermione"
"When are you going to throw Quidditch out of your head, Harry"
Hermione looked defeated,
"Of course we are going to investigate Mr. Blaine. We have to find out his origins first, don't we?" Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website Free reading without anti-theft
