The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Hogwarts' Little Superman - Chapter 180 [Third Year Begins]

Hermione's summer vacation was similar to Ginny's in the latter half, the difference being that her summer focused more on acquiring knowledge rather than practical operations.

She would also help out at construction sites during the summer, solving some tasks that Muggles found difficult but wizards found simple.

As the start of school approached, Hermione also noticed the escaped prisoner situation, and she called Keli to chat about it.

"Have you heard about the escaped prisoner? Professor McGonagall wrote me a letter telling me to be careful at home," Hermione's tone carried a hint of worry, but it was only a slight worry: "Should we do something? Or prepare something for this escaped little friend?"

"Little friend?" Keli immediately chuckled: "We don't need to prepare anything. Believe me, that escaped prisoner will never harm us, unless one day he is controlled!"

"Do you already know something?" Hermione immediately became interested: "Tell me what you know!"

"Harry wrote to me a few days ago, telling me that the Minister of Magic has arranged two secret agents near him, and these two secret agents want to catch that escaped prisoner," Keli slowly explained.

"Why are they stationed near him?" Hermione immediately realized the crux of the matter.

Why were the secret agents near Harry Potter, and not near other people? Could it be that the escaped prisoner had some connection with Harry Potter?

"Yes, I immediately had this question. Why would Minister Fudge station two Aurors near Harry's residence?" Keli explained, "So I asked Collins and four bodyguards to use their connections to conduct a simple investigation into this matter."

"Guess what I found?" Keli teased.

"In legends, Harry Potter defeated Voldemort. Could it be that the escaped prisoner wants to kill Harry to avenge Voldemort?" Hermione speculated.

"How is that possible! You have read many newspapers, and I think you should have a preliminary understanding of Fudge. What kind of person do you think he is?" Keli guided her patiently.

"Judging from the various remarks in the newspapers, this person is timid and cowardly, and he will do anything for power. He is a thorough official addict," Hermione said, then asked, "In that case, if that prisoner really wanted to kill Harry, he wouldn't send people to protect Harry. He would probably clean up and arrest him after Harry died. Wait..."

"That's right, the escaped prisoner's full name is Sirius Black, a descendant of a pure-blood family! The last of the Black family!" Keli explained, "Did you know? He entered Hogwarts in 1971! What do you think of?"

"1971..." Hermione's memory was far inferior to Keli's, so it took her a long time to recall something: "I remember that Harry Potter's father, James Potter, entered school in 1971! Wait... Professor Snape was also in 1971! The three of them must have some relationship!"

"Sirius is Harry's godfather!" Keli said the key point.

"So, Harry is not the target of revenge, but a bait!" Hermione said.

"That's right!" Keli said affirmatively.

Hermione on the other end of the phone pondered for a long time, thinking about what to do next, at least to give Harry some help.

A few minutes later, Hermione thought of a question: "How could Harry's godfather become a Death Eater? Could it be that Harry's godfather killed Harry's father back then?"

"I'm afraid not..." Keli really wanted to tell Hermione everything about the past, but he felt that if he told Hermione all these things at once, it would seem to deprive Hermione of a sense of accomplishment in exploration.

The two chatted about many things on the phone, and eventually they agreed to go to Diagon Alley together to buy books and supplies for the next semester the day before the Hogwarts Express departed.

Ginny didn't call, but she wrote a letter saying that she had already bought what she needed for the next year and would meet Keli on the train.

"Merlin's beard!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed to her daughter.

Miss Ginny was practicing potions, and potions, as everyone knows, are very expensive.

Just now, Ginny had just concocted a potion, and she had failed three times.

This potion is used to treat eye deficiencies in wizards, and it is also effective for Muggles.

But her raw materials cost as much as 120 Galleons each time.

Mrs. Weasley rarely had some interest today and came to see what her daughter was doing.

As a result, Mrs. Weasley saw such a scene in fear—in the past hour and a half, Ginny had squandered 360 Galleons worth of raw materials and had not successfully concocted even a drop of potion.

"360 Galleons, if you gave these gold coins to me, it would be enough for our whole family to eat and drink for a year," Mrs. Weasley's heart was about to explode.

"These are necessary for practice, it's only 360 Galleons, there are still 15,000 gold coins in the box!" Ginny took out the fourth portion of materials without hesitation.

This scene made Ron roll his eyes. Last semester, he used a broken old wand for several months, and finally relied on a special finger wand given by Keli to complete the learning tasks of the last semester.

And the price of a wand generally does not exceed 10 Galleons.

So on this day—[Galleon Devourer] [Infinite Gluttonous Monster] [Potion Master with the Worst Skills] [Spendthrift Who Squanders 360 Galleons in One Hour] and so on, a series of nicknames became Ginny's new nicknames.

However, surprisingly, when Ginny practiced for the fourth time, she successfully obtained a bottle of potion. Usually, the number of practice sessions required to exceed ten.

"The retail price of this bottle of potion is 1,500 Galleons! No less than 1,000 at the lowest!" Ginny said to her mother with a smile: "I only spent 480 gold coins and a morning to earn more than 520 gold coins!"

"Do you still think my practice is useless?" Ginny shrugged and glanced contemptuously at the onlookers, the Weasley twins and Ron.

"Merlin above! This bottle of potion is worth 1,000 Galleons!" Mrs. Weasley looked at this bottle of blue potion, shining with fluorescent light, in disbelief.

[Magic Eye Rebirth Potion], an extremely rare potion that can restore vision to both eyes, regardless of the cause of the damage to the two eyes.

If the eyeballs are dug out, two new eyeballs will grow out, nearsighted eyes will return to normal eyes, and congenital blind people will grow new nerve lines connected to the brain.

This is a magical potion that only wizards have the ability to concoct.

Mrs. Weasley looked at her daughter talking eloquently and holding a bottle of potion with a completely indifferent expression, and suddenly felt a feeling in her heart that her daughter seemed to have grown up.

She was a little relieved, but also a little sad in her heart. If this continues, Ginny will never escape the clutches of that little rascal Keli—Mrs. Weasley thought very melancholically.
