All things are three at Hogwarts

The time has entered February, and the snow around Hogwarts has begun to melt, replaced by a cold and damp atmosphere. Gray-purple clouds hung low over the castle, and the continuous cold rain made the lawn slippery and muddy.

In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, rain hammered against the high windows, and the enchanted ceiling swirled dimly overhead.

The wizards gathered around the long tables in their respective houses. The plates in front of them were filled with food. After some wet owls flew into the auditorium carrying letters and packages, the wizards picked up the magazines and newspapers they subscribed to. Now the media is paying attention The focus was on the press conference hosted by Professor Alan Harris. In the entire auditorium, whether professors or students, the topic of discussion was inseparable from the breaking news.

"The Ravenclaw Temple will open up advanced magic skills such as theory and spells to the general public... As long as you work hard enough, you can have knowledge that is no weaker than that of a wizard from a pure-blood family." Justin Finch-Fletchley shook himself With his curly hair, he happily expressed his opinions to the Hufflepuff wizards who were born like him, "After I graduate, I plan to study hard for a few more years. I don't want to be a waiter in any tavern. I listen." Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw is very close to our founder Helga Hufflepuff. Maybe I can learn some food magic and become a chef in a tavern?"

"I don't think ancient food is as delicious as the British food we have developed for so many years..." Ernie Macmillan forked the ham and eggs on his plate with one hand, and frowned while holding the magazine in the other hand, "Jas Ting, you know, my father has no prejudice against other bloodlines like me, but Harris turned out to have followed Grindelwald before..."

Emily sat at the top of the long Slytherin table. The plates in front of her were pushed far away. There were some magazines scattered on the table. There was no expression on her face at this time. She seemed very indifferent, but The little leather boots under the long table began to tap the ground impatiently again.

The Wizarding Weekly was thrown aside by Emily, and she flipped through Outwit the Dark Arts again, turning the pages faster and faster. Just when Emily wanted to throw away another copy, a loud bang startled her. One jump.

The entire Slytherin table was attracted by this sound, and Draco Malfoy dropped the magazine in his hand onto the table. It was the Wizarding Weekly that Emily had just read.

"That's nonsense! These bugs have ignored the facts and made up random things to please their masters. Only fools, fools, and idiots will believe the words of such a declining media!" Draco's pale cheeks did not turn red, but only had a faint blush. , his eyes were fixed on the few pure-blood wizards on the long table who were secretly talking about Allen. After venting his anger at first, he deliberately said in a long voice and sarcastically.

Draco stood up in a hurry, and the chair that was knocked away was dragged on the floor with a harsh and sharp sound. He walked to Emily, and Pansy asked the little witch next to her to give up her position with a hint. give him.

"Harris's background was reported by these unscrupulous media. They blatantly exposed the fact that the Harris family once followed Grindelwald and fled to the UK after Grindelwald's revolution failed... It's like These purebloods didn't know anything about it beforehand!" Draco knocked the table with his fisted knuckles indignantly. He sneered, "The words in this magazine clearly imply that Alan inherited Gellert Grinder. Waugh's will, opening up these knowledge and skills through the Ravenclaw Temple has ulterior motives... These confusing baits are very tempting to wizards from Muggles, mixed-race families, and wizards with superstitious ideas. Once the power of the temple As he grows stronger, Allen will try to break the secrecy law and launch reforms like his predecessors... It's all nonsense! How can education reform be connected with the secrecy law?! Is it just because of birth? "

"They also tried to imply that the Ravenclaw Temple was a scam by our Harris. My brother contributed all the magic in our family... They also thought that my brother was lying..." Emily held her chin, usually not Draco's accent, which he liked so much, said pitifully after listening patiently this time.

"This report repeatedly mentions Gellert Grindelwald, constantly suggesting that Professor Alan Harris, like the Dark Lord who caused trouble in Europe, is keen to launch reforms, so he may cause some turmoil." Draco saw With Emily's appearance and the newspaper in her hand, she seemed to think that Alan's sister should not be more worried, "But don't worry, Emily, we won't believe these rumors. These media reported last year about Potter and Dumbledore." None of the news about Lido is true..."

In order to comfort Emily, Draco began to use his original schadenfreude about Dumbledore and Harry Potter being wronged to prove it.

Millicent Burst, who had just finished three plates of breakfast and started applying lip balm, raised her thick chin that stretched forward menacingly. In contrast to her usual respect for people on Emily's side, she raised her chin. He retorted: "Professor Alan Harris did not do the right thing this time. My father said that they are so arrogant... uh... it will bring a lot of hidden dangers to the wizarding world. Draco, don't forget that you are also a British pureblood. We want to be united, but why are you speaking from the perspective of an outsider?"

Draco's cold gaze seemed to be able to gouge out Millicent's plump lips. Under such a gaze, she habitually retracted her chin and did not dare to continue arguing with them. Draco's recently learned lightning magic was a small thing in Slytherin. He is famous, but few people dare to provoke him head-on.

At this time, Pansy took the Quibbler handed over by Emily, and a passage in the magazine that had been opened came into her eyes. Pansy read it out loud knowingly: "Recently regarding the ancient magic class at Hogwarts." Rumors are rampant that Professor Alan Harris wants to break the Statute of Secrecy. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Upholding the Statute of Secrecy is something Alan Harris has been emphasizing and defending. We have seen that Alan, who is a member of the International Confederation of Wizards, Professor Harris, during the previous series of large-scale disappearances in foreign countries, has sent warning letters to the Ministry of Magic in many countries asking them to pay attention to domestic developments and effectively safeguard the confidentiality laws of the International Federation of Wizards. It can be said that he is the leader of the International Federation of Wizards. The most active one among them, I believe those unfounded and slanderous and slanderous statements about Professor Alan Harris will stop with the wise."

After Pansy read this paragraph, her eyes swept over the wizards who noticed the movement here. The small group of people who had whispered and believed the magazine couldn't help but lower their heads under such eyes. They were forced by Pansy , Draco, and the others did not say a word under the oppression they had accumulated for a long time, and they only secretly winked at each other.

Hermione walked into the auditorium at this time. She walked to the Gryffindor table at a much faster pace than usual. Ginny kept waving to her, and Hermione walked over and sat next to her. Topped it off with a few slices of roasted tomato and cooked mushrooms drizzled with cheesy sauce.

Ginny tucked her thick fiery red hair behind her ears and said to Hermione in a fuss, "Have you read the reports? The Harris family has been in almost every newspaper and magazine."

"Hermione, where were you last night? You just came back now." Hermione's roommate Parvati Patil lowered her voice and came closer.

Harry and Ron, who were devouring their food, stopped chewing their food. Ginny also looked at Hermione in surprise. Hermione was recognized as the most disciplined and good student in Gryffindor. Only Lavender stayed up all night last night. Brown seemed a bit gossipy and happy
