Chapter 283 Happy birthday
To facilitate inspection and protect student safety.
All students in the school were required to sleep on bunks on the ground in the castle hall.
What? Not enough space?
Learn about the Seamless Stretching Spell. The expanded space is enough for hundreds of people to sleep easily.
This is also a novel experience for students. Although the criminal Sirius Black may be peeping outside, they are protected by the principal and professors, so they don't worry much about safety issues.
On the contrary, this situation of external crisis and internal security makes many students feel comfortable.
It feels a bit like being wrapped in a quilt and having air conditioning.
A blue sleeping bag was wrapped around the whole body. From time to time, professors came to report the inspection results to Dumbledore, but few people dared to speak at this time.
After Lupine reported to Dumbledore and left, Snape withdrew his gaze and stepped forward, "There is no trace so far. It is basically certain that he has left the school."
“It was really unexpected to be able to come in and leave on my own.”
"Maybe he still has helpers, don't you want to say something? Dumbledore."
"What do you mean?"
"Of course it's the professor you chose. Do you need me to explain it more clearly?"
The old headmaster sighed slightly after hearing this, "He is not as bad as you think, Severus. No professor at Hogwarts will help Sirius."
"You are still so stubborn. Now there is another question, should you tell Harry Potter?"
"Wait a minute, he's still just a child."
Hermione, who was sleeping not far from Harry, was speechless for a while. Why don't you two speak louder in Harry's ear?
After Dumbledore and Snape left, Harry could not sleep with his eyes wide open.
"The professor is telling you to be careful, Harry, so you don't have to pay too much attention!" Hermione comforted him.
"I know, but I can't sleep a little. Snape seems to be wary of Professor Lupin." Harry said softly: "When you went to the library in the afternoon, Professor Lupine once chatted with me. He said he knew my parents and I talked about their past, and I could feel that he was really good to me.”
After hearing this, Hermione was hesitating about how to reveal the news that Lupine was a werewolf, when Ron's voice came from the other side.
"Come on, what you said reminds me of the fake Rohart last year, remember? You almost went to him with Voldemort's diary, which shows that your feeling is not very accurate."
These words immediately choked Harry up, and he retorted: "Didn't you also think that the fake Rohart was a good person at the time?"
"But I don't trust you 100% as much as you do."
"Then how did you..."
"He has the aura of some dark creatures about him, Harry!" As the two were bickering quietly, Hermione suddenly interrupted them. She couldn't explain the source of the specific information, but at least it could keep Harry's attention.
"What?! Who are you talking about?" Harry looked sideways.
"Professor Lupin!" Hermione emphasized, "I can't be sure whether he is really good to you, but he does have something weird about him. I've noticed it since the first time we met. I suggest you keep one more person. Mind’s eye.”
"Hermione, are you sure?"
"Am I going to lie to you?!"
"Well, of course not, I just think..."
Harry was a little speechless. In fact, he really didn't want to believe that he cherished everyone who was kind to him. This was probably a common problem among children who lacked love.
"Then should we notify Principal Dumbledore?" Ron suggested.
Harry hesitated to speak, but Hermione shook her head, "Professor Lupin was invited by Principal Dumbledore. From the conversation between the two of them just now, it was obvious that they both knew about this matter, but they didn't care about it, and neither did we." Please inform me again if necessary, just be careful.”
"Yes, I think so too." Harry quickly agreed.
This topic ends here, time quickly passed midnight.
At this time, Harry and Ron took out a gift from their sleeping bags at the same time and handed it to the girl in the center.
"Hermione, happy birthday!" X2
Hermione, who was already a little sleepy, suddenly became energetic. (Hermione’s birthday: September 19th)
"Oh my gosh! Since you remember, thank you very much!"
Hermione received the gifts from the two of them in surprise. Ron gave him a Honeydukes autumn candy gift bag, which he obviously bought in Hogsmeade Village in the afternoon, and Harry gave him a model of Hogwarts Castle. Encased in a crystal ball, there are the changes of the seasons.
The prices of the two items were naturally unequal. Ron's face turned a little red in the dark, but fortunately Hermione didn't care about this.
"As long as you like it." Ron chuckled.
Harry was about to say something, but a paper crane flew over with difficulty, dragging a heavy gift box.
Even Hermione was startled.
"Who gave this to you?" Ron frowned and glanced around.
As a result, he saw someone he least expected, or could not believe.
"Malfoy?!"
Hermione frowned slightly as she saw a note on the gift box.
Harry came closer now and began to read quietly.
[Hi, Hermione! What I want to say is that you have successfully attracted my attention. I have forgotten the unpleasantness of the past. Let us get to know each other again.
By the way, I didn't tell my father about Hagrid and the pheasant injuring someone. I have decided not to care about it. The gift is a high-end wizard robe and dragon leather soft shoes customized by the Malfoy family's craftsman. I hope you like it. Finally, I wish you a happy birthday! ——Draco Malfoy. 】
After reading it, Hermione and the other two looked up at Malfoy at the same time with different expressions.
At this moment, Fang Zheng was also staring at this side, showing a smile that he thought was charming.
Harry and Ron suddenly felt disgusted as if they had eaten a dead fly, and at the same time felt extremely absurd.
You, a guy who always talks about pure blood and shouts "mudblood" when you meet, actually showed goodwill in return? !
"Malfoy is definitely doing something bad, Hermione, we can't pay attention to him!" Ron said with great certainty.
Harry nodded in agreement, "Maybe the box will explode when it is opened!"
At this time, Hermione had already drawn out her wand and tapped on the paper, and new handwriting suddenly appeared.
[Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Malfoy, study hard and be a good person. 】
After finishing, she touched the little paper crane again, and it sighed, flapped its wings again, and returned the gift with great effort.
Harry and Ron both laughed at what they saw, while Malfoy's face was as dark as ink. He stared at the two of them and said something viciously.
Hermione had already laid down again.
Ron came over and wanted to say a few words.
"Go to sleep, Ron."
"But tomorrow is Sunday."
"I'm sleepy."
"Uh, okay."
Lying flat on her back, Hermione closed her eyes, but said in her heart, "Mr. Lu Yuan, today is my birthday."
[Happy birthday!]
"Thank you."
After a while, Hermione said again: "Hey, Mr. Lu Yuan, today is my birthday!"
[Happy birthday, again?]
Hermione was speechless and a little angry, and at this moment a large amount of knowledge suddenly poured into her mind.
"Elementary Studies of Prohibitions" is different from the existing magic system. It is a brand-new field that involves various sealing contract magics. According to the theory we have just learned, magical prohibitions can imprison and seal almost everything in this world. It is definitely a profound and extensive subject.
