The next morning, Ani was startled by Hermione first.
Even though the girl dressed up a little, she still couldn't hide the tiredness on her face.
"Yesterday they were noisy in the lounge until midnight, and they were still chatting non-stop when they returned to the dormitory."
Hermione said with a big hunch and began to miss the days of occupying Ani's office.
Everyone in Hogwarts knows that Ernie has been making his home in the Forbidden Forest, but Beauxbatons and Durmstrang don't know that. Plus, there's Bagman with his big mouth. God knows what he can do if he is allowed to use it.
Rumor.
So Hermione moved back to the dormitory the day before yesterday.
Unfortunately, she had enough interactions with everyone during the day, and there was no loneliness to relieve her roommates at night. She just felt that they were noisy.
Her requirements are not high, she just wants to read a book quietly for a while, or study magic texts.
Ever since Aini helped her modify the magic text chain, the girl has become even more obsessed with those wonderful little things.
"Maybe……"
Aini thought for a moment, then reached out and ruffled the girl's hair, "That's good. Go talk to Minerva and apply for a separate lounge."
The little witch's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this. Professor McGonagall valued rules, but as a qualified member of the Lions Academy, he was not incapable of being flexible for the sake of honor.
Didn't you see that Harry made an exception and joined the Quidditch team in his first year?
Moreover, due to special circumstances, there is no precedent for applying for a lounge alone.
Stable!
Hermione happily ran to Professor McGonagall's office.
Aini was wandering around the castle aimlessly while sorting out his thoughts.
And some people are much more interested in wandering around.
Students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang got up early and couldn't wait to visit this thousand-year-old castle - breakfast hadn't even been served yet.
Then this group of little wizards became numb. Those changing passages and moving stairs cast a layer of fog on their journey to Hogwarts. If it weren’t for the number of Hogwarts students in the corridors over time,
I'm afraid not many people will be able to make it back to the auditorium to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast.
"Suck~"
Ron chewed the cheese on his fingers with satisfaction, his eyes constantly wandering on the long table of Ravenclaw and Slytherin, "I like the Triwizard Tournament."
"Me too."
Harry nodded in agreement, but a trace of desire could not help but arise in his heart - it would be even better if he could become a warrior.
So when Ron focused on the beauties and idols from other schools, Harry's eyes couldn't help but wander to the opposite side.
Soon, Ron's eyes moved over, because Krum had been staring here since he was full.
"What's wrong with you?"
Hermione's tone was brisk, and it could be seen that the girl was in a good mood now.
"Ah, no...it's okay..."
As if someone had penetrated his mind, Harry responded in a panic and lowered his head to deal with the French sausage on the plate.
Ron seemed not to have heard anything and moved his gaze to Fleur's delicate face.
"baffling."
The girl muttered, stuffed the remaining piece of muffin into her mouth, stood up and walked towards the door.
"It looks like everything is going well."
Just hearing the brisk footsteps of the little witch, Aini knew what had happened before.
"As you expected."
Hermione narrowed her eyes and smiled, looking extremely cute.
Seeing the girl's tired look, Professor McGonagall not only approved her request to let her rest in the club during the competition, but also allocated several empty classrooms next to the club's grounds to expand the club's space.
——In the beginning, the club mainly used the Room of Requirement as an activity venue. However, although the space there was sufficient and convenient, it had changed too much. Later, for safety reasons, it was re-established in an unused corridor next to the library.
Headquarters.
However, as the club expanded into a full-service auxiliary management organization, the space became a bit small, so this time it was time to reorganize the layout.
President's office, independent offices of each department, large activity room, training ground, retreat room...
After a lot of busy work, it was already time for dinner.
"Let's leave it like this for now. We'll do the later decorations ourselves."
Hermione wiped the sweat from her forehead, and three gray marks appeared on her fair skin.
Aini couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand to form a water mirror in front of her.
"No matter, let's rest for a while."
After wiping it casually twice more, Hermione was half lying on the sofa, unwilling to get up.
Not only had they separated each room into shape just now, Ani also went to Dumbledore to apply for permission to reconnect the magic pipe network of the new headquarters and create a secret passage leading to his office.
Originally, he wanted to connect the lounges of the four colleges to make it easier for students to gather and communicate, but considering that it was still a troubled time, he could only postpone it for the time being.
However, everything was calm in the next few days. Cats roamed around, rats secretly observed, little phoenix patrolled back and forth in various layers of space, and Ani opened the Eye of True Sight almost around the clock, intending to search for some clues.
It has to be said that Voldemort's unusual move this time put a lot of pressure on Aini. He just wanted to grab the opponent's tail in the shortest possible time and pull him back into his own rhythm.
But nothing new has happened recently. Even Bagman has passed the recovery period of the Imperius Curse and his mood has calmed down.
Of course, being able to stay in Hogwarts and avoid those goblins made Bagman still feel very happy.
Until he met a woman, a woman who was not a hideous woman - if someone could beat her face into a swollen ball.
If the Daily Prophet held a "least popular" poll, Rita Skeeter would definitely be on the list, excluding all outsiders.
The way she looks when she's chattering away and making up nonsense is very attractive - to things like fists, bricks, or pans.
"Huh... today's protagonist is here, you should focus more on work. Just like me, I came to Hogwarts to work."
Bagman tried to calm himself down and emphasized again that he was here to do the Ministry of Magic's job, not to hide from those ugly goblins!
"Ha, come here, little girl. I heard that Dumbledore required the warrior to be over 17 years old, but you obviously can't meet the requirement. Can you tell me the shady story...?"
As soon as she saw Hermione, Rita rushed towards her and started vomiting eagerly before she even got close.
Then he saw Aini who followed him in, and he almost swallowed the end of his words.
"Oh, ha, ha, ha, Mr. Scamander, what a surprising meeting. Please forgive me for being unprepared."
The woman laughed awkwardly a few times and quickly put on a flattering face.
This also made Hermione, who had just become a little angry, change her mood in an instant, and turned around with a sweet smile.
