Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 233 Growth
Three days before the end of the semester, Hermione and the others were finally allowed to leave the hospital.I couldn't wait to leave the school hospital, and I was tired of staying there for so long.

The hottest topics in the castle were the return of the Dark Lord and the changes in the Ministry of Magic.Fudge's life was very difficult, and Rita was completely on fire, attacking him with sharp words in the "Daily Prophet" every day.There is always material to be biased, after all, Fudge has many political enemies, and they are all happy to see Fudge in a state of desperation.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Fudge's resignation is already doomed, so who can become the next Minister of Magic is a matter worth investing most of the energy of those ambitious people.

Back at the dormitory, the cubs once again threw a big party for them, which is also expected.At the party, Ron became the protagonist. He loudly talked about the battle in the Department of Mysteries, and declared himself extremely heroic.For those who do not know the inside story, this is very attractive.And those who knew the inside story were used to handing over such long-faced matters to Ron.

Hermione sat in the common room for a while, drank a glass of butterbeer she hadn't had for a long time, and then returned to the empty dormitory alone.Sitting on the bed, his eyes fell on the worn-out suitcase in the corner.

After hesitating for a long time in my heart, I finally didn't open it.

After taking a nap for a while, the party in the lounge hadn't ended when he came out again, or Ron's story hadn't been finished yet.Quietly left, walked through the corridors and stairs, and walked towards the auditorium.

"Hermione, wait a minute..." When he walked to the corridor outside the auditorium, a voice sounded from behind.

Hermione turned her head when she heard the sound, but saw Stuart, Terry, Michael and Anthony trotting over.

"Is it convenient for you now? There are some things I want to ask you..." Terry asked a little cautiously.

"Okay." Hermione smiled, pointed outside and said, "But let's go outside, I probably know what you want to ask..."

Stuart and the others followed Hermione out of the hall, and then across the lawn to the edge of the Black Lake. They stopped only after seeing that there were no other people around.

"It's fine here, you don't have to worry about being heard by others." Hermione waved her hand as she said, a white mask enveloped everyone and then disappeared, "Now you don't have to worry about it at all."

Seeing this familiar technique, Stuart felt a lot of emotions in his heart, but it turned into a simple question: "Is he really like what the newspaper said?"

"What do you think? I've been with him day and night for four years, what do you think?" Hermione didn't answer, but seemed to answer. The four of them were obviously relieved, and their expressions settled down.

"Then..." Stuart was about to ask something, but was pulled by Terry.

"Okay, don't ask any more, some things we know are not good things." Terry said, "After all, we don't have the means to keep secrets." After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly at Hermione and said: "This That's the only thing we want to know, and the fact that you all came back safely can already explain a lot of things."

Hermione froze for a moment, then smiled again, raised her hand and removed the protection, watched Stuart and the others leave, while she sat on the ground, looking at the calm black lake in a daze, her hand naturally fell on the pendant.

As before, there was still no reaction at all.

"So you're here." Harry's voice sounded, but Hermione didn't turn her head.Harry didn't take it seriously, and sat next to her, his gaze also fell on the Black Lake.

"Why don't you continue the party in the lounge?" Hermione asked.

"Just leave it to Ron, and I've already gotten too much limelight." Harry replied, paused, before continuing, "I just came back from Hagrid, and Grapp has left the forbidden area." Lin, Hagrid sent him to a big mountain, but didn't say where."

"Sirius also sent a letter. The Death Eaters who were captured that day were all imprisoned in Azkaban, but it seems that the dementors have changed. I don't know if they can be controlled..."

"Don't place too much hope. If Azkaban is breached once, it will be breached a second time. Those people will return to the Dark Lord sooner or later." Hermione said softly.

Harry frowned slightly when he heard the words, he hesitated, Hermione's words reminded him of something in Sirius' letter.After lingering for a long time, he finally asked, "Have you learned his magic, Hermione... When I was in the Department of Mysteries, I saw the battle between you, it was almost..."

"Almost exactly the same, isn't it." Hermione turned her head slightly, "Yes, I learned his magic, but after all, I still can't compare to him."

"Great!" Harry clapped his hands suddenly and said excitedly, "This is great! The next time we meet them again, you can continue to..."

"Harry..." Hermione looked at the excited Harry, her expression became a little indifferent.

Originally, she thought that Harry would grow up a bit after going through so many experiences, especially after the thrilling battle in the Department of Mysteries, but now it seemed that Harry was still Harry and hadn't changed.

There are many thoughts in my heart, but when it comes to my mouth, everything changes.

"No problem, I'll catch him."

Harry was even happier to get Hermione's positive answer.He babbled on and on about what he had heard from Sirius and Hagrid, about the things Dumbledore had told him, about his plans for how to defeat the Dark Lord.Hermione didn't say anything, just listened quietly, her face became more and more calm.

After a long time, he suddenly smiled again.

"Let's go back," said Hermione.

Harry paused when he heard the words, but after seeing the smile on Hermione's face, he smiled and nodded.

It was indeed getting late, and it was almost time for dinner.They came directly to the auditorium, and the little lions were already there, but Ron was still talking loudly.Listening to the content, it seems to start all over again.Of course, there was a much bigger audience too, with Hufflepuffs and some Ravenclaws coming.

They didn't bother Ron who was upbeat, but found Ginny and Neville hiding in the corner.As soon as she sat down, Ginny complained: "He really has enough, I really don't know what's the point of always saying this."

"Don't worry about him." Hermione said with a smile, and greeted Neville on the opposite side, "If he likes it, let him go."

"It's a good thing Fred and George aren't here," sighed Ginny. "They're sure they won't let Ron get so carried away."

Hermione thought about it, and it was true. The twins had always been keen to tear Ron down, but they were also the ones who loved him the most. It had to be said that this was really contradictory.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "By the way, how are Fred and George?"

"It's okay, they did open a joke shop," Ginny said, "but Mom was really pissed off."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, and whispered: "By the way, there is one more thing..."

"Percy is back..."
