Chapter 620 The long-lost sting

For the vast majority of fifth and seventh year students, the entire Easter break this year was like sitting in a Muggle cinema watching an old bad movie. While lamenting that it is smelly and long, you have to sit in your seat and read it, because you are not willing to waste the ticket money.

After all, a holiday is a holiday after all, and compared to the usual school days, it will be a little more relaxed. Even Harry and Ron, two guys who were tortured to death by Hermione's schedule, at least had plenty of time at night to get a good night's sleep.

But in any case, people with things to do always feel that time passes quickly. When the Easter holiday came to the last day, everyone suddenly looked back and realized that the whole holiday had come to an end.

Harry

The next morning, when everyone was finishing breakfast in the auditorium and preparing to welcome the last period of the school year with a new look, a voice full of joy suddenly came from the door of the side corridor.

Harry, who was spreading jam on his own bread, heard the familiar voice and immediately looked back.

Oh, Ginny? He put down the knife and waved at the beautiful figure running towards this side, Good morning, I'm so happy so early in the morning, what good thing happened?

Harry, I have good news, she said excitedly as she ran without knowing where her ladylike demeanor had gone, terrific good news!

Good news? Harry asked suspiciously, I think I should congratulate you first...but what good news is it?

Ginny sat down next to him, looked around first, and then cautiously approached him. Seeing her cautious appearance made Harry even more curious.

...Harry, Angelina said that I will make my debut in the upcoming finals! After she finished speaking, she smiled happily again, This is really Great! I think I'll keep it in my heart for the rest of my life!

Oh! Is this true? It's so cool! Harry immediately clapped his hands,

He also put on a surprised expression, but in the blink of an eye, he was puzzled and said, So, who did you replace? Why haven't I heard Angelina mention it?

She said that this matter should be kept secret, Ginny whispered, No wonder that in addition to your official player training, the training for our substitute players has never been interrupted. It turns out that Angelina has been preparing to adjust The team. She said just now that I am the secret weapon selected from the three substitutes!

So? Harry nodded.

It's Andrew. Angelina thinks that he might not be able to cope with the finals, because he has been worried about whether he will lose the Quidditch Cup because of his mistakes. Ginny explained quietly, But everyone I never thought that I would be the player who replaced Andrew!

When Harry heard this, he shook his head in surprise.

Yes! Who would have guessed it? He looked at Ginny in astonishment, and then lowered his voice, You will become the goalkeeper of the Gryffindor team? Even I was taken aback!

What surprised you? Ron, who was munching on the grilled sausage, asked vaguely, What are you talking about?

When Ginny saw that it was Ron who spoke, the smile on her face disappeared immediately. After she glanced at Ron, she quickly turned her head away and put on a look that she didn't want to pay attention at all.

Regarding the farce that Lavender and Neville tossed that day, Ginny always felt that it was Ron's problem. Although she didn't like Ron and Lavender being together, when Ron asked Neville to lie to Lavender once, she turned around and blamed Ron secretly.

This girl's mind is always difficult to guess, and if it is her own sister, it is even more difficult for people to understand.

Across the table, Ron looked at Ginny in bewilderment, took a moment to swallow his food, and cast a puzzled glance at Harry.

Lavender.

Harry mouthed Ron a few times before shrugging helplessly. After seeing it clearly, Ron first blinked his eyes, then raised his hand and scratched his scalp, but finally picked up the fork again, forked the last piece of sausage on the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth .

Okay, I have to admit, that's indeed...well...my fault. He said vaguely again, But even if I were to apologize, it would be Neville, not Lavender ...

When Ron and Ginny had another small conflict with each other, Hermione was still flipping through her new Daily Prophet. No matter who Ron would apologize to, this was not her concern. What concerned her most at the moment was an inconspicuous article published in the newspaper.

Yes, Maca's name is in the papers again.

Since Voldemort was defeated again, with the passage of time, people have stopped making a lot of fuss about the Macadon.

Even in the most popular time before, you can see at least two large-scale reports about Maca every day when you open the newspaper. Everything from business to gossip is all-encompassing, the real and the fake are mixed together, making these little friends who know Maca want to laugh and tear up the newspaper in their hands while reading it.

Until recently, even though the popularity finally receded a little bit, Maca's name was still very common in newspapers.

However, the essence of the little text Hermione was reading at this time was very different from those blind reports that were full of exaggeration. If I had to pick one of the biggest differences to explain, it would be that this is a small article based on letters from readers of the Daily Prophet.

In that paragraph, it pointed out a question that many people have ignored very keenly. After the transfer and dispatch period of Maca is over, will he end his exchange and teaching tasks and return to Durmstrang School of Magic? ?

This can be said to be a very real problem.

Because according to the usual practice, professors from other schools usually return to the school where they work after the expiry of the dispatch period, because they are originally affiliated to the sending party. Only in the special case of Maca, he was directly transferred to Hogwarts under the condition that Durmstrang was only named.

At the end of that short article, the reader who wrote the letter deliberately added a sentence, saying that he was actually a student of Durmstrang, and he was very much looking forward to Maca returning to teach them.

The information contained in this short text is undoubtedly quite eye-catching, and it is a rare topic. However, The Daily Prophet is a newspaper in the British magic world after all. Although the editor-in-chief of the newspaper office is extremely reluctant to part with such an attractive article, he still has to put it in an inconspicuous position.

After all, Hogwarts is also the pride of the British wizarding world, and Maca, the hero who destroyed the Dark Lord, had better stay in the UK, right?

After reading this short article several times, Hermione folded the newspaper and threw it aside, took a big sip of milk.

Although he was certain that Maca would not leave Hogwarts, this matter was related to the decision of the Education Department of the International Federation of Wizards. In theory, it was not that Maca could do whatever he wanted.

Hermione? What's wrong with you?

Probably because she noticed her preoccupied appearance, Ginny suddenly asked.

Huh? Hermione was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, No, it's nothing... I'm just thinking about a question that may be tested in the exam.

She responded casually, then shook her head secretly in her heart. Yes, it must be fine. Since Maca can find a way to get herself to be a professor at Hogwarts, will she still have no way to let herself stay?

But even though she comforted herself in this way, her eyes couldn't help but glanced at the newspaper again.

Is that letter from a reader really just written by a student of Durmstrang?

There is no evidence to answer her question.

...

There were only less than two months left before the exam, and with Hermione's habitual anxiety before the exam, no matter how good her grades were, she couldn't get rid of it. Now interspersed with this kind of inexplicable and annoying worry in the constant review, it makes her feel out of shape all day long.

So, it was Ron and Harry who were unlucky.

Next Saturday is the Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin Quidditch match, the second final match of the Quidditch Cup. If Slytherin lost to Hufflepuff at that time, Gryffindor's chances of winning would be greatly increased, so the pressure on Ginny would definitely be less.

It's a pity that Harry has no time to cheer for Ginny, because Hermione's urging made him tired of coping, and he wasted all his spare time in the pile of textbooks. And when he thought that he had to play in the finals, he couldn't help but feel that his pressure might be even greater than that of Ginny who appeared for the first time!

In the past few days, he has had nightmares about exams and Quidditch matches several times in a row. You know, since he has achieved some success in practicing Occlumency, he hardly dreams at night!

Seriously, for this, he is really grateful to Maca. Because after that, no matter how busy the day is, he can rely on a good dreamless sleep to refresh himself.

But recently, the great fatigue seems to have made it difficult for him to maintain Occlumency during sleep.

But in the early hours of one day, Harry on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and turned over and sat up. Drenched in cold sweat, he touched his forehead in bewilderment. There, a lightning-shaped scar throbbed with pain for a long time, silently stimulating his nerves.
