Chapter 161 Ginny's concerns

I stayed in the school infirmary for two days.

During this period, many young wizards came to visit.

The Slytherin members, Ginny and Hermione were the most diligent!

Especially Hermione, it is better to say that she came to give notes to Argus than to say that she came to visit.

In order to let Argus experience the original professor's teaching, she even used an automatic recorder to write down every word the professor said in class.

Lucius and Fudge also came once.

They came to visit as representatives of the pure-blood family and the Ministry of Magic.

When Fudge came, he seemed to want to ask something, but because he brought a lot of people with him, he didn't say anything in the end.

Lucius didn't say much, just came to visit.

Argus noticed that the house elf next to Lucius had changed!

Dobby, who originally had a sharp nose, changed to a big nose, looked older, and treated Lucius with more respect.

"With Lucius's methods, after making sure that the people around him are fine, he will naturally set his sights on Dobby."

"Even if there is no evidence, there will be no hidden dangers for himself."

An abandoned house-elf, especially a pure-blooded house-elf like Dobby who is the personal house-elf of the 28 clan leaders, can be guessed without thinking.

There is no other choice except death!

But this is also his own fault. As a servant, he is not loyal to his master, but is half-hearted.

Taking advantage of the master's inattention, he secretly helps the master's enemy.

Deserve to die!

Compared with Dobby's unknown life and death, the students of Hogwarts are living a comfortable life.

Because the Slytherin heir was solved, the crisis of Hogwarts was officially resolved.

The little wizards have resumed their former joy.

The only difference is that Dumbledore has not appeared in school for a long time.

Hogwarts' affairs in the past few days are temporarily managed by Professor McGonagall.

A few days later, Argus left the school infirmary under Madam Pomfrey's repeated instructions.

As soon as he entered the hall of Hogwarts Castle, he was greeted by the eager eyes of a group of Hogwarts members, including Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Grindelwald, welcome back."

"Thank you for your care, Professor McGonagall." Argus bowed and turned to the people of Hogwarts and bowed slightly.

"Thank you all for your concern."

"Are you okay?" Professor McGonagall asked with concern.

"It's okay. I almost recovered two days ago. It's just that Madam Pomfrey asked me to observe for a few more days."

"That's good. During your absence, the little wizards in Slytherin asked me about your news several times a day."

Professor McGonagall was quite tired of this matter.

But now that Dumbledore is not here, Snape is almost always in his office except for class, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

These things can only be put on her shoulders.

"The final exams will be held soon. If Mr. Grindelwald needs extra lessons, he can ask Miss Granger."

"I think she will be happy to help."

"Okay, Professor McGonagall." Argus smiled in response.

He smiled at Hermione at the long table of Ravenclaw.

The future Minister of Magic was staring at Argus at this moment. When her eyes met, her pretty face suddenly blushed.

As if someone had seen through her thoughts, she turned her head away from Argus.

...

That afternoon.

Mrs. Sprout's mandrake cultivation was completed, and Mrs. Norris, who had been petrified before, and the members of Hogwarts officially returned.

At dinner, the entire Hogwarts almost became a sea of joy.

Colin, Justin and others who had recovered their petrification saw Argus coming and shouted excitedly.

"Argus, you actually killed that terrible monster! You saved us!"

"Idol! From today on, you are my idol!"

Not far away, Filch came to Argus with tears on his face, holding Mrs. Norris.

"Mr. Grindelwald, thank you for your help!"

"If you hadn't saved Mrs. Norris, I really wouldn't know... I really wouldn't know..."

Filch was crying with snot and tears.

But no little wizard showed any mockery to him.

Mrs. Norris's position in Filch's heart is incomparable to anything else.

She is almost his only spiritual sustenance in Hogwarts.

Agus didn't show any disdain, and smiled faintly as he helped Filch's hunched body up.

"Mr. Filch, you shouldn't thank me for this, you should thank Professor Sprout."

"It was the mandrake she cultivated that saved Mrs. Norris."

The excited little wizards didn't care about these things. They only knew that Agus was the one who found out the secret room hidden by Slytherin for many years, and solved the basilisk they had been afraid of for a long time.

He is the hero who saved Hogwarts!

A large group of people surrounded him and talked about it.

The suppressed heart was finally released. Even though the castle hall was noisy, Professor McGonagall didn't say anything to stop it.

Compared to the final exams later, it might be a good choice to let the young wizards relax a little now.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of solving the monster, but Argus noticed that a flowing red hair was quietly leaving the Gryffindor table.

…

Ginny walked to the lake alone.

The cool breeze at night made her mind clearer.

Ever since she knew that Ron and Harry were hit by the Forgotten Curse, Argus was injured in fighting the basilisk.

Her inner self-blame has never stopped.

The intense guilt brought her to the point of collapse!

She asked herself more than once, if she had not used that strange diary, if she had not thrown it away casually, but had given it to the Aurors or Hogwarts.

Wouldn't all this happen?

"Why is a person blowing the wind here alone?"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Ginny was so startled that she couldn't stand still.

The body suddenly fell into the lake!

"Confinement quickly!"

A restraining spell pulled Ginny back from the edge of falling.

The warm touch of her palm made her cheeks feel hot.

After pulling Ginny back from the lake, Argus released her from confinement.

He joked: "I shouldn't look that scary, right?"

"I almost scared you into jumping into the lake."

A few words made Ginny blush even more, almost the same color as her hair.

"Is there anything on your mind when you come to the lake alone at night?"
