After the Christmas vacation, the little wizards who returned and stayed at school were surprised to find that the next Magical Creatures classes were all arranged indoors.
This is very unusual. You must know that except for the first class, Hagrid met the students in the classroom, introduced himself and then led them to the Forbidden Forest. For the rest of the class, no one entered it again.
The door to that classroom.
Before lunch, Professor McGonagall made another announcement in the auditorium. Due to the venue layout of the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, for safety and confidentiality reasons, there will no longer be organized trips to Hogsmeade for the time being, and all students
You are not allowed to leave the castle area.
For a while, the little wizards were talking about it, and they couldn't figure out what they were going to do.
"Hermione, can you please apply to Dumbledore in the name of the academy? We know a secret passage leading to Hogsmeade. It is safe and does not pass through the ground..."
After dinner, Fred met up with Hermione. He had just made an appointment with Angelina to play in Hogsmeade. How could his first date not be witnessed by everyone?
"Don't think about it. Yesterday, several professors set up barriers at all the outward passages. The school's determination is very firm."
Before the boy could finish speaking, Hermione blocked his request.
The little witch knew the inside story. Let alone going to Hogsmeade, if the greenhouse hadn't happened to be within the range of the guardian barrier, even the Herbology classroom that had never been used would have been activated again.
"Hmm...Hermione, do you know something? Tell us quickly."
The twins were very smart and realized the key points keenly.
"Maybe they are creatures used for tests. They are not easy to deal with. Come to think of it, fire dragons were dispatched in the last test. The school probably just wants to ensure everyone's safety."
The girl's words were a bit ambiguous. She didn't want to lie to her friends, but she couldn't say nothing at all. Otherwise, with the curiosity of the two red-heads, they would definitely run out quietly to conduct a "exploration."
"Be careful, Fred George."
Seeing that the two of them were still a little eager to try, Hermione had to continue to persuade:
"Think about Ron and Ginny, think about Angelina and other classmates. We don't know what things are out there, and we don't know what will happen if we disturb them. Maybe it will affect not only you, but also
There are people around you.”
Hermione looked at the two brothers quietly as she spoke. The twins exchanged glances with each other and made a promise in unison.
"Don't worry, we won't mess around."
They are a bit of a gangster, but they are gangsters who are not stingy, not jerks, and they can still distinguish their priorities.
"It seems that little Hermione is acting like a president."
The girl just turned around to say goodbye to the two brothers, and a warm big hand was placed on her head.
"Hehe, you must give them instructions first."
As Aini touched the smooth top of her head, Hermione chuckled in relief.
"Tell Draco and the others to make a list of the items needed by their respective colleges. Hagrid and I will go to Hogsmeade to purchase them together. Please don't go out casually."
It is conceivable that this year's Hogwarts will never be as "peaceful" as in the original trajectory. Before figuring out Voldemort's plan, all aspects of defense must be strengthened.
First of all, the outward passage must be closed. You must know that Tom Riddle, as a student, knew more about Hogwarts than the twins.
But when talking about his familiarity with the castle, Aini suddenly thought of a place.
"Follow me, Hermione, we need more help."
Aini led the girl all the way down, and a few minutes later he came to a picture of a fruit plate. Before he could take any action, the door to the kitchen was opened from the inside.
"Good afternoon, Professor Scamander, President Hermione."
Two boys wearing Hufflepuff robes ran out, their robes lifted up and their pockets full of food.
"Hello..."
Aini was a little speechless, good guy, lunch time hasn’t passed yet, have you started stocking up on food?
As if sensing the strange looks from the two of them, the older boy explained: "We are going to have a tea party this afternoon, and Cedric has invited Durmstrang's classmates."
Hearing this, Aini's heart moved. It seemed that he could go and take a look at the net he had cast earlier. However, things had to happen one by one. After the two boys left, he walked into the kitchen with Hermione first.
"Ah, distinguished Professor Scamander, welcome to your arrival."
Ever since the elves' Chinese cooking skills reached the standard, Aini hasn't been to the kitchen for a while. Now that he appeared, the elves immediately surrounded him with roars.
"Professor Scamander, Tong Ling has made another improvement in braised pork. Would you like to try it for dinner?"
"Tata is also very attentive. The rice he prepares for you is carefully selected."
"Fili..."
One after another, the elves rushed over and recommended their favorite food.
"Okay, okay, thank you, please bring it to my office during dinner."
Aini fully agreed to the kindness of the elves. Today's dinner will definitely be very rich. Maybe we can invite a few friends to get together.
After spending a while to calm down the elves, Aini clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
"I need your help with something today..."
Even though these little elves seem to be gathering in the kitchen all the time, whether it is cleaning or daily maintenance, their footprints are everywhere in almost every corner of the castle. No group is more suitable to act as an eyeliner than them.
Aini doesn't need them to do anything deliberately, just check for any suspicious signs while working.
Hearing that Aini's solemn request was so simple, the elves were still unsatisfied, and they all rushed to agree.
After telling them some precautions, Ani led Hermione back to the office.
One of the two was holding a seventh-grade magic text textbook, and the other was writing and drawing on parchment. They did not interfere with each other but were in unusual harmony.
Suddenly, Ani raised his eyebrows. The detection magic left when he passed by the entrance to the Hufflepuff lounge was triggered.
"I'm going out for a while, do you want to go back to the club?"
Aini arranged the manuscript paper and asked Hermione, but the girl was too fascinated by the book and was still immersed in the mystery of the magic text.
Seeing this, Ani smiled knowingly, stopped calling Hermione, put on his coat and walked towards the castle gate.
He had a hunch that he would gain something tonight.
I just don’t know if I can find traces of Voldemort. Of course, it would be great if we could dig out some of his secrets.
Thinking of this, Aini felt a little more hopeful.
