Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 175 Please briefly describe your relationship with Grindelwald
"We used to be best friends when I was young, but he took the wrong path." Dumbledore's voice was not loud enough for Hera to hear.

Hera's hand fell back to the doorknob, and with a force, she opened the door directly. "Aha, I knew it was you a long time ago, and I was just joking with you."

Dumbledore's eyes were somewhat resentful, and the eyes behind the half-moon lenses flickered, "Hera, what did you see in the Pensieve?" He lowered his voice, and he also saw Hermione walking over.

"Ahem, I didn't see anything, I just happened to know that the person who discussed magic with you was Grindelwald." Hera laughed dryly and said awkwardly.

"Miss Granger, the presence in the corridor has already left. It's best that Professor Lestrange escort you back to the Gryffindor Tower. It's not too late now, and I think it's still in time for their welcome ceremony. As far as I know, they have taken delicious food from the kitchen." Dumbledore joked, as if nothing happened just now.

"Then I'll send Miss Granger away first?" Hera said, and Dumbledore had already entered the office, obviously planning to have a long conversation after Hera came back.

"Well, you go first, I'll just read a book casually." Dumbledore waved his hand and sat down on the chair.

Hera's hand gently pushed Hermione's back, and nothing unusual happened on their way back to Gryffindor.It's just that Hera wanted to go back to the office as soon as possible, so she couldn't help walking a lot faster, which made it extremely difficult for Hermione to follow.

Back in the office, Dumbledore was already reading "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense" quietly and with interest.

"I've always felt that there are quite a few mistakes in Trimble's book, and his vision has been limited by the times." Dumbledore gently turned a page, and said to Hera who had just opened the door and entered.

"In fact, I didn't teach it exactly according to the content in the book, it just provided me with a direction." Hera said modestly.In fact, apart from the order of contents, what he said has little to do with the book.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's talk about business." Dumbledore closed the book, then put it aside, and he helped his eyes on the bridge of his nose.

Hera pulled a chair over and sat across from Dumbledore—there was a desk between the two of them, like an interrogation.

"When I first came to the corridor, I didn't see the so-called monster. I just saw a figure passing by at the end of the corridor." Dumbledore stretched out his wand and tapped the table, and a pot of hot tea appeared on it. This was probably one of his privileges as the headmaster - he could freely use all resources in the school, including house elves.

"Didn't you catch up to him?" Hera asked eagerly.

Dumbledore sighed, "There are too many secret passages in Hogwarts. Even if I am the headmaster, I can't know all of them. I am sorry that I lost him on the first floor. The only thing I can be sure of is that he is a boy."

Hera Tuo pondered over his shoulders, and suddenly realized a question, "A boy? You mean a student?"

"I think, yes, it's a student, and a senior student." Dumbledore's expression was serious, and his voice revealed a biting chill.

"A Slytherin?"

"Not sure."

Immediately, the two fell silent again. In fact, these things are almost completely clueless.

"Where did that boy disappear on the first floor?" Hera asked.

Dumbledore raised his eyes, "At the end of the first floor, probably near the bathroom."

"Did you not subdue him?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not omnipotent." Dumbledore's voice was full of regret, and he was very annoyed that he was almost able to grasp the source of all the troubles.

And at the other end of the castle, in Gryffindor's tower.

When Hermione returned to the common room, there was no suspense that a welcome ceremony was planned for her - well, just Harry, Ron and the Weasley twins.

In the lounge, though, they had quite a surprise for him, with a large cake piled on the table and a jug of pumpkin juice and butterbeer.A striking banner was also hung.

A big brioche they had prepared for her, with the words "Hermione out of hospital" crookedly written in chocolate sauce.

This moved Hermione very much, and it was not that the other students did not send blessings to Hermione, but when they saw Harry, they timidly avoided it.

"Well, it still doesn't look like it's changed." Hermione sighed, she couldn't imagine these familiar faces, or were they classmates she had known for more than a year?

It turned out that they were all isolated just because of the rumors without trace.

"Hermione, why did you come back so late?" Ron asked curiously, the hole in the wall was opened again not long after Hermione came back, and Percy returned from night patrol.He looked extremely embarrassed, as if he had been teased by someone, his hair was wet, and his clothes were stained.

She came back only a little earlier than Percy, and it didn't look like she had just returned from the school hospital at this time.

"Hera and I went to the kitchen to eat something." Hermione's tone changed from high to low, becoming somewhat negative.She whispered to Harry and Ron, "I have a little guess about the Chamber of Secrets."

"What?" Harry screamed loudly. He attracted the attention of many students who were reading books and playing chess. He had to raise his hand to apologize to everyone.

"What did you find?" Ron asked quietly.

Hermione covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Let's go to the corner, it's too conspicuous now."

Although the other students seemed to be busy with their own business, they clearly had an ear eavesdropping on their conversation, which Hermione obviously didn't want them to hear.

The three of them hid in a corner and found a free table. The people next to them were still playing wizard chess. When they saw Harry, they packed up the chessboard and left.

"Have they always treated you like this?" Hermione asked, pointing at their backs, still a little unbelievable even though she had seen it with her own eyes.Three or four months have passed!
"Ever since Halloween. Even over the Christmas break." Harry shrugged resignedly.

Hermione took a deep breath, and she waved her hand, bringing Harry and Ron's little heads together.

"After Hera and I came out of the kitchen today, something very weird happened," said Hermione. "Harry, do you remember that scary voice you mentioned earlier?"

Harry nodded. He would never forget that voice in his life.

"Hera his eyes."
