The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Everyone standing in the dormitory was convinced, certain, and guaranteed that Cree hadn't committed the theft. However, this was only circumstantial evidence, not direct evidence. Although the missing ornaments had been recovered, if someone was indeed trying to frame Cree, the situation seemed more serious than a simple theft.

A thief might only be motivated by greed, but someone who frames another is simply 'dangerous.' Such a person is extremely dangerous to both teachers and students at Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall looked at the large pile of gold coins on the ground and said, "Listen to my instructions. First, Slytherin's little snakes, please collect your lost items to prevent them from being stolen again."

"Mr. Cree, although I believe you didn't commit this act, I require you to stay at Hogwarts and not leave the school until the real culprit is found! Can you do that?" Professor McGonagall turned to ask Cree.

"No problem! Even if you expel me, I will stay at Hogwarts until this despicable culprit is found!" Cree said decisively.

"Very good!" Professor McGonagall gave a nod of approval.

"Severus, I think we need to talk to the headmaster about this. Do you think it's necessary?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"I will write a letter to the headmaster," Snape said.

Professor McGonagall replied, "That would be excellent, of course!"

Professor McGonagall arranged everything. Before leaving, she asked with great doubt, "Why were you carrying so many gold coins?"

"Just like I said earlier, these gold coins are just a little pocket money for me... they're not much..." Cree explained.

Professor McGonagall and the others were speechless again, and the matter was temporarily put on hold.

After everyone left the dormitory, Hermione suddenly almost collapsed on a vacant bed: "I was so scared just now! I thought you were really going to be expelled!"

"At Hogwarts, only Headmaster Dumbledore has the right to expel students, but in reality, he has never expelled any student in the past few decades, no matter how outrageous their actions..." Cree thought of Ginny in the future—wielding Voldemort's training manual, 'The Diary of Tom Riddle,' wreaking havoc at Hogwarts. In the end, she even graduated successfully and married Harry.

"How about we go find Harry and the others for lunch together?" Cree suggested.

"Of course, no problem!" Hermione and Cree went to find Harry—because the weather in September was still quite hot. When Hermione pushed open the door to Harry's dormitory, she saw two boys changing clothes with their upper bodies bare.

"Oh, God!" Hermione said, "My eyes are going to be blind!"

"Your muscles are clearly not as developed as mine!" Cree joked.

After some playful banter, the five of them got dressed and went to the dining hall together. Harry, Ron, Neville, and Hermione, plus Cree.

After the five of them sat down, Harry looked at the huge bag Hermione was carrying and asked suspiciously, "Miss Granger, are those all the books you borrowed?"

"Of course! I borrowed related books for each of our courses—for example, this one is a collection of magical spells written by a Charms master, and this one, this is the Potions name of that annoying Snape—it's special because this book was actually compiled by Snape himself; he's the sole author."

"And these, Herbology, Astronomy... I have all the school's courses. Would you like to take a look at one?" Hermione asked.

Harry and Ron almost shook their heads off... Letting two underachievers study advanced charm courses is worse than letting them steal from the Slytherin dormitory...

Cree gnawed on a large steak. It was amazing that something that looked like a steak actually tasted like chicken and was crunchy...

"Harry, aren't there five people in your dormitory? Where are the other two?" Hermione asked.

"Don't mention it! Dean is a study fanatic and a workaholic. He took on a small task in Herbology class to take care of the greenhouse. He's probably taking care of the flowers and plants with Professor Sprout right now!" Ron said.

"Seamus became a fanatic after learning about Quidditch... You know, the kind who wishes he could sleep with the Golden Snitch twenty-four hours a day! He went to watch the Quidditch players train in the yard early this morning," Harry continued.

"I remember you were also pulled into the Quidditch team, weren't you?" Cree asked in confusion, "Didn't you train?"

"I'm just a substitute, and the training for new substitutes is only on Sundays," Harry said.

Because Harry hadn't experienced the same events as in the original story, his Seeker talent hadn't been discovered yet. Although he was pulled into the team, he wasn't valued.

"Have you guys finished Snape's essay?" Ron suddenly asked Hermione as lunch was almost over.

"Of course! I finished it last night!" Hermione said confidently, "I bet Cree hasn't finished it!"

"Well, there's still a week anyway. Isn't this kind of thing easy as long as you have hands?" Cree said casually.

"Snape is a disgusting guy! Neville was injured yesterday, but Snape treated him so badly. Snape is like a pathetic slug!" Ron said.

"Don't say that, it's because I'm too stupid..." Neville's weak voice came over: "I'm really too stupid; I can't remember those complicated steps, so it's my own responsibility for getting hurt."

"Don't say that!" Hermione said: "People will always have things they're not good at! It's impossible for humans to be omniscient and omnipotent; that's something only gods can do."

Hermione continued: "It's a sin if it's because of laziness, but if it's because of a talent you're not good at, you don't have to be inferior or frustrated!"

"Everyone is like a natural stone, bound to be full of flaws and imperfections. Only through hard work and polishing can they become gems! Neville, you have to believe that you are not a fool; you are just a buried genius!"

After listening to Hermione's words, Neville perked up. Cree raised his hands and applauded. Following Cree's applause, Harry and Ron also clapped. Neville followed suit, applauding Hermione's speech together.

Following Hermione's speech, Cree also expressed his expectations for Hermione for the first time: "The magical world is really too small. I think you should run for Prime Minister of the United Kingdom! You might be the second female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom! Even—you should try to unify Europe and become the first female President of the European Union!"

"If you don't have any expectations for the Muggle Prime Minister, I think you should be elected to the Order of Merlin, First Class, and eventually become the most shining star in the entire magical world!"

Hermione's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course!" Cree said decisively: "The Minister of Magic is just a puppet anyway. Of course, you can become someone who far surpasses these so-called Ministers of Magic! If you can really unify the European magical world, perhaps centuries later, wizards will have forgotten Dumbledore, but they will still remember you!

At that time, the ghost professor of Magical History will say: 'Oh! Look, this lady on the cover of the textbook is Ms. Hermione—once my student!' Hehe, just thinking about it is exciting!"

"I hope so!" The sparkle in Hermione's eyes became even brighter.

【Loli Cultivation Plan, Step One Activated!】Cree said silently in his heart.
