After being separated from Albert in the stands of the stadium, a distraught Hermione hurried to the Gryffindor dressing room, ready to talk to Harry about the Felixir.
In fact, pretending to know nothing might be the best choice, but Hermione still wanted to talk to Harry about this matter.
Just when she took a deep breath and was about to speak, Ron next to her spoke first: "What are you going to do, expose us?"
Hermione was stunned for a moment and did not look at Ron. Instead, she stared at Harry and asked directly: "Did you use Felixir on Ron?"
"Oh, you said that!"
Harry raised the corners of his mouth happily, took out a small bottle from his pocket, shook it gently, and explained to the two of them with a smile: "This is actually a new product from Fred and George. It has a slight calming effect and is also
It can keep people in a happy mood, you can think of it as a pill specially prepared for those who are easily nervous."
After saying that, Harry handed the medicine bottle to Hermione, turned to Ron and said: "It wasn't because of the Elixir that you were able to save the ball successfully. It was all done by your own ability. Your only problem is
You get nervous too easily and don't have enough confidence in yourself, which results in your performance being abnormal. So I can only use this method to help you regain your confidence. Facts have proved that this method is really effective."
"You really didn't give me the lucky potion?" Ron was shocked and couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Of course, you should have confidence in yourself." Harry smiled and patted Ron on the shoulder, turned to Hermione and said: "If you still don't believe it, just take one and you will find out.
They are actually different."
"Did you see, Hermione, I didn't use Felixir, this is my normal level!" Ron carried the broom and left the dressing room proudly.
"You should have come to me directly just now." Harry looked at Ron's leaving figure and then at Hermione who was frozen in place, and reminded him helplessly, "No one wants to be accused like that."
"Then, do you treat him as a fool?"
"I will definitely make it clear to Ron. It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not. I just need him to regain his confidence." Harry said helplessly: "I just want to give him a hand...Hermione, you should know that Ron
Well, he..."
"Forget it Harry, I don't want to talk about Ron." Hermione interrupted irritably: "Let's talk about other things, I..."
"I think we should go back to the celebration party." Harry suggested.
"All right!"
Hermione followed Harry out of the dressing room and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.
"What did you want to say just now?" Harry asked.
"I just met Albert in the stands. He seems to have something to see Dumbledore..." Before Hermione could finish her words, she was interrupted by Harry.
"What did he ask Dumbledore for?" Harry asked warily, "Did he say what the reason was?"
"No, he just said that he came to Dumbledore to collect Cassandra's body with him. He seemed to think that the author of "Parting Through the Mist and Seeing the Future" was dead." Hermione hesitated for a moment and said, "By the way, he also mentioned
Mr. Ollivander, he is still alive."
"That guy obviously knows a lot of things, but he always likes to deliberately whet our appetites. I hate these mysterious guys." Harry reached out and scratched his head and asked irritably: "Did he say anything else?"
"Albert thinks the situation is likely to get completely out of control next year," Hermione said suddenly, "I plan to send my family away after the Christmas holidays."
"Send away?" Harry asked sadly, "Have you decided yet?"
"Yes, it's decided." Hermione nodded and said, "I can hear some urgency in Albert's tone. It seems that something is going to happen, and you need to prepare as soon as possible, Harry."
"I have been making preparations, but we don't know what preparations to make." Harry said irritably: "If Albert had revealed some information to us, the situation might be much better."
"Perhaps, we should prepare for the worst." Hermione suggested, "Things are obviously very bad, otherwise Albert would not be so cautious."
"Worst-case scenario?"
Harry really didn't understand what the worst-case scenario meant.
"Dumbledore is dead, Voldemort kills Scrimgeour and takes control of the entire Ministry of Magic? Will I become a wanted criminal that everyone wants to beat?"
I don't know why, when Hermione heard what Harry said, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Maybe it was because the future situation was so bad that Albert had been preparing for it!
"By the way, what's going on with Ron Weasley? I feel like he seems to have a big problem with me." As she walked through the hall, Hermione suddenly asked her doubts: "I really don't understand him.
You must know exactly what you are thinking about, Harry."
Harry suddenly became very embarrassed. He really didn't know how to explain to Hermione that it was because she kissed Viktor Krum that she offended Ron.
This thing sounds really ridiculous.
"Tell me Harry, I don't want to get into too much trouble with Ron Weasley, but I really can't figure out what he is thinking?" Hermione turned her head and stared at Harry's face, "You must know
What, and you are very bad at hiding your emotions."
"Okay, this thing is really ridiculous."
After Harry hesitated for a moment, he sighed softly and briefly talked about the last time he caught Ginny and Dean kissing in the secret passage.
"So, he's jealous that I kissed Viktor Krum?" Hermione's expression was strange. Well, she actually understood what Harry meant.
"I think... maybe... that's about it." Harry glanced at Hermione secretly, "He probably likes you a little bit, but it turns out..."
"He is so naive. I always thought he liked Ms. Rosmerta. Maybe you should remind him to find a girlfriend." Hermione said expressionlessly, "Lavender Brown is good. She seems to be interested in Ron."
There seems to be a lot of interest.”
"I thought……"
Harry's face was full of embarrassment. He originally thought that Ron was in a relationship with Hermione, but it turned out that it was different from what he thought.
"We are just good friends Harry, just like you and I, we are just friends." Hermione did not shy away from this and told Harry calmly, "I don't deny that I have some feelings for you and Ron.
But I have no plans to develop in that direction at the moment.”
"Besides, I think we should prioritize how to survive this wizarding war." Hermione looked away from Harry's stunned face and said calmly, "Although Albert said you will eventually defeat the mysterious man.
, but this process may not be as simple as imagined, otherwise he would not have specially formed a defense association to prepare these things."
"I heard Fred said that Albert is going to have his own child soon." Harry reminded tentatively. He actually thought Hermione liked Albert. Many girls in the school liked Albert, even if he already had a child.
get married.
"Of course I know, I just admire him." Hermione looked at Harry speechlessly, "We have to admit that Albert is a very powerful person and has given us a lot of help."
“It’s really amazing.”
When Harry and Hermione returned to the Gryffindor common room, they were surrounded by the crowd. People gave Harry enthusiastic applause and cheers, especially the girls, who strongly hinted that they wanted to be with Harry.
Let's go to Slughorn's Christmas party.
Hermione quietly made room for everyone. She stood aside and looked at Harry, who was surrounded by the crowd, and couldn't help but shake her head.
Sometimes it's not good to be too popular.
When Hermione's eyes swept across the common room, her expression suddenly became extremely exciting.
"Despicable hypocrite." Ginny appeared next to Hermione, looking at Ron hugging Lavender Brown tightly, and said mockingly: "I think he needs to improve his skills, isn't he?
Chewing Lavender's face."
"That's good," Hermione muttered, "It saves a lot of trouble."
I believe that after Ron finds a girlfriend, their relationship will not be so stiff.
"Save a lot of trouble?" Ginny looked at Hermione with some surprise, and found that the expression on the other person's face did not change much.
"Harry, I suggest you find a dance partner as soon as possible so that the girls won't continue to pester you." Hermione suggested.
"Dance partner, forget it, I'm not interested in attending the Christmas party." Harry broke away from the crowd and said depressedly: "By the way, Hermione, who are you going to invite?"
"I originally planned to invite Ron, but it may not be appropriate now." Hermione gestured to Harry's sofa in the corner of the lounge.
"Not suitable?"
Harry followed the eyes of the two girls in confusion and found Ron and Lavender kissing passionately. He asked in confusion: "When did Ron and Lavender get close?"
"About two-quarters of an hour ago," Ginny recalled, "he just came back, and Lavender came up and gave him a hug, and that's what happened now."
"You should be happy for him Harry."
Hermione reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder, then turned and left.
"Hermione is right, you should be happy for that guy." Ginny looked at Ron with contempt and mocked, "At least, he will no longer be jealous of others."
Looking at the girls coming this way again, Harry felt that staying here was not a wise move and was ready to run away.
"You should find a dance partner Harry, or you could consider bringing the guy over there." Ginny pointed at Ron with a smile.
"Forget it, I don't want any crazy talk in the school." Harry knew without even thinking about the dire consequences of taking Ron with him.
However, he felt that he should really consider Ginny's suggestion, but he didn't have a good candidate. Especially after he gave up on Qiu Zhang, he was no longer interested in the girl for the time being. After all, he had more important things to do.
.
"Then who are you going to take with you?" Ginny asked curiously.
"I'll be fine by myself." Harry said without thinking.
"You don't want a girlfriend?" Ginny asked tentatively.
"Let's forget it. At this time, are you just hurting the other person?" Harry shrugged and said, "I'll get out of the way first."
After saying that, Harry left the Gryffindor common room directly to avoid being blocked by other girls.
The next day, what Harry was worried about did not happen. Hermione took the initiative to apologize to Ron for yesterday's incident, and the atmosphere between the two parties seemed to be reconciled.
"Now is not the time for quarrels, and I'm not as naive as him." Hermione stared at the letter marked with the initials a·a in front of her, and interrupted Harry, "By the way, Harry, this month's
Don’t let the party run into the Wizard Card Club.”
"Oh, Wizard Card Club...how is it going now?" Harry had almost forgotten about it.
"It's not good. Luna is not a qualified organizer, nor is she as famous as Albert." Hermione shook her head helplessly, "But you can give her a hand."
"I have no idea what I should do." Harry looked at the Galleons emerging from the bag with some surprise, and asked in surprise, "Did someone send you Galleons?"
"What galleons?"
Hearing Harry mention Galleons, Ron quickly moved his eyes over.
"Of course not, this is the activity fund of the Wizarding Club. Albert obviously wants me to help the Wizarding Card Club." Hermione put the money bag into her pocket and explained calmly.
"Why didn't he leave the club to you to manage?" Ron was a little confused as to why Albert wanted to inherit the club to Luna. He felt that the situation might be much better if Hermione inherited the club.
"I don't know, but there must be some reason."
Hermione actually didn't care much about this, because she found that there was a parchment addressed to her in the envelope.
After unfolding the letter and reading the contents, the expression on Hermione's face suddenly became ugly.
"What's wrong?" Harry noticed the change in Hermione's expression and asked immediately.
"Something happened."
Looking at the parchment that burned to ashes, his face became even darker.
Obviously something happened that she didn't know about, otherwise Albert wouldn't have suggested on the letter that she send her family away as soon as possible.
"Whose letter is this? It seems that the sender is not written." Ron picked up the envelope and looked at it, and found that the letter was suspicious, and Hermione obviously knew who sent the letter.
"Albert's letter has a mark on the corner." Hermione pointed to a very inconspicuous corner.
After Harry saw the letters a·a shrunk, his expression was a little stunned, and he couldn't help complaining: "Can this handwriting be made smaller?"
"This way it's less likely to be noticed." Hermione could understand. This was actually to avoid causing trouble for her.
"Why did he send you a letter?" Ron and Harry exchanged glances and asked doubtfully, "Want you to help take care of the Wizarding Card Club?"
They all suspected that there must be something else in the letter, otherwise Hermione would not have such an expression.
"He suggested that I send my family away as soon as possible." Hermione lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid I have to ask for leave and go back in the past two days."
"Do you need help?" Harry and Ron asked in unison.
"No, I will ask Albert for help." Hermione shook her head, "And Harry, you can't leave the school, it's not safe outside."
"Does that guy have that much free time?" Ron muttered.
