The sudden arrival of asylum students on the weekend did not stop, and the two consecutive new notices on Monday followed. These two notices are so huge that they even cover the marble border with the bulletin board.
The wording in these two notices is quite official. The rows of rigid black prints, the bright red seals below the paragraphs, and the elegant cursive signatures around them also make them look very official .
Harry and Ron stood among the crowd of onlookers, staring intently at the second notice, with worry appearing on their slightly pale faces.
What about... what about the Wizard's Battle Chess Club? It's the club with the largest number of members in the school right now, and I go to participate in activities every day! Beside Harry and Ron, a third-year student seemed quite anxious.
Yes! There will be another competition soon, and I'm planning to get a ranking! I heard that the prizes this time are much richer than the past two! His companion couldn't help but wailed, It won't just be a mess...
Go to Professor McLean! He designed this wizard war game, and he will definitely help us get rid of that old witch...
I think our wargames game will be fine... Ron said gloomily, startling the two little wizards.
Yes, Ron, who likes chess games, has already become a member with a fairly high number as early as the establishment of the Wizard War Chess Club.
Of course, he didn't have the heart to worry about Wargames now.
...What a coincidence, don't you think? Ron turned his head and asked Harry with a frown.
Harry didn't speak, he just read the contents of the two notices over and over again, feeling a little panicked in his heart.
He thought that he could really learn something useful from Maca. Perhaps under Maca's guidance, he could really hold the Gryffindor sword in his hand again and gain the power to slay the fire dragon.
And only in that way, can he pick up the heart of courage that he left behind in the final match, use his own strength to help Maca, protect Hogwarts, and maybe even fight Voldemort .
After all, it was impossible for him to let go of the Dark Lord who killed his parents. It was only because of his lack of strength, in order not to become a hindrance, that he endured the pain in his heart and remained silent.
However, seeing that opportunity was about to come, Umbridge stood in front of him with a notice. This feeling made him feel infinitely unwilling.
...This is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence, Harry clenched his hands tightly,
Annoyed, She must have found out from somewhere!
But where did she find out? Ron lowered his voice, When we were partying in a bar? Or when Hermione picked people up? Or...someone among the participants went to inform gone?
Who knows? Harry said irritably, It's all possible...there are too many possibilities!
Zacharias Smith!
Just when Harry was full of anger, Ron's eyes suddenly widened, and he squeezed out the name through clenched teeth.
Yeah, he's a little suspicious... Harry recalled the ostentatious and noisy yellow-haired boy in the bar, frowning tightly.
But Ron paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, Or... Maybe something is wrong with that Michael Corner... If that's the case, it would be too bad! No... I have to go find him!
Wait! Harry grabbed Ron.
What for? Ron struggled. Let go, Harry!
Calm down, you can't just go like this— Harry said, looking around at the students who were watching the two of them, and then pulled Ron towards the stairs, Ron, don't move! You go and plan What did you say? Or don’t say anything, just pounce on him and beat him up?”
That's a good idea! Ron broke away from Harry's hand a little irritablely, but he didn't act impulsively again, ...well, you're right, even if that old toad already knew about it, the matter itself Can't make it public yet.
If their plan to secretly organize Defense Against the Dark Arts training was publicly exposed, then Umbridge would really have a reason to investigate and deal with it openly, and that was definitely not the development they wanted to see.
Then... I'll talk to Ginny later, is that okay? Ron curled his lips and muttered annoyedly.
I don't know if Hermione has read those two notices... Harry and Ron said as they walked, We have to go and tell her first.
And not long after Harry and Ron left the hall, Maca appeared behind the crowd. He looked over the shoulders and heads of those students and looked at the two notices from afar, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, he turned around and walked slowly towards the side corridor next to the hall.
Rufus Scrimgeour...?
...
On the other side, Harry and Ron hurried back to the Gryffindor common room. As soon as they arrived, when the two found that Hermione and Ginny were not in the lounge, Ron subconsciously rushed towards the stairs leading to the bedroom.
Ron, stop! Harry shouted hastily without stopping, That's the girl—
Before he finished speaking, Ron, who had already run up the spiral staircase, suddenly heard a siren-like whistle in his ears, and then the staircase suddenly softened and turned into a smooth slide.
what--
Ron was tossing and turning, dancing and trying to keep his balance, but everything seemed to be in vain. Before he had time to jump a few more times, he fell on the slide with a plop, and slid down the slide all the way to Harry's feet.
...that's the girls' dormitory. I don't think we can go up there. Harry help Ron up, dumbfounded.
Hmm... Ron covered his nose with one hand and propped his lower back with the other, and said with a bitter face, Merlin is here... I must have lost my mind just now!
At this moment, the two girls happily slid down the slide.
Oh - which warrior wants to come up? Let me see - they both jumped to their feet, giggling with their eyes fixed on Harry and Ron.
You can tell just by looking at it, don't you? Ron said angrily, Let's think... when was the last time you played on a slide?
The two girls didn't care about Ron's annoyance, they circled around him, and then continued giggling and heading towards the hole of the portrait.
It's not fair! Ron said dissatisfiedly, Hermione can come to our dormitory, why can't we—
...Isn't that obvious?
Hermione's voice came faintly from the slide, and the next moment, she landed lightly on the blanket in front of her.
It was mentioned in Hogwarts, a School History, that the founder of the school felt that in some respects, boys are obviously not as reliable as girls... Well, why did you want to come up just now?
Of course I'm looking for you— Ron said, lowering his voice again, You'd better go to the foyer to take a look, something terrible happened!
The three ran in a hurry again, leading Hermione back to the bulletin board in the castle foyer. At this moment, there were fewer students than before, and Hermione easily squeezed to the front.
When her eyes quickly glanced up and down, her face immediately became more serious. She didn't leave quickly, but carefully re-read every sentence in the two notices.
After a while, when Ron and Harry outside the crowd started to get anxious again, Hermione finally got out from the crowd.
I think someone among the participants must have made an informer! Ron immediately leaned forward and said in a low voice.
If this is the case, then we will soon know who the informer is! Hermione said, shaking her head again, I'm more worried about other reasons than the informant.
Soon to know? Why? Ron asked in surprise.
I cast a spell on the parchment that everyone signed, a common type of contract— Hermione explained softly, Although I can't embed better penalties for breach of contract, if there is an informer , then we will be able to find out!
What if someone cracks it? Harry asked worriedly.
If he could see through the spell on the parchment, the other party would not have signed his name from the very beginning, because signing is tantamount to actively forming a connection with the contract spell. Hermione gave them a reassuring look. , The spell itself is on the parchment, and you must get it in order to break it!) Download your free reader!!
