Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Harry spent the rest of the holiday in a state of trepidation, not just him in fact, but everyone else.

The next day's "Daily Prophet" published the current appearance of Diagon Alley. The tragic scene was simply heart-stopping, especially the series of death lists, which was simply chilling.

Mrs. Weasley forbade Harry and the others to go out, even to have a breath in the garden.If Mr. Weasley hadn't had to go to work, he would have been trapped at home by her.

After all, no one knows where the mad Lord Voldemort and his followers will attack next.

In this tense atmosphere, Harry finally survived the New Year and could return to Hogwarts.

This time, the Ministry of Magic did not send a car, but temporarily connected the floo network between the Burrow and Hogwarts in order to allow students to return to school safely and quickly.

Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny lined up by the fireplace in the kitchen. Only Mrs. Weasley saw them off, and everyone else had to go to work.

Mrs. Weasley couldn't help but shed tears, which she had done from time to time since Percy was driven away by the twins and Ron and Ginny on Christmas Day.Obviously, the atmosphere of farewell at this moment broke Mrs. Weasley's tears, which had hit rock bottom.

"Don't cry, Mum..." Ginny hugged Mrs. Weasley and patted her back and said, "It's okay..."

"Just, don't worry about us," Ron said, and this time he didn't dodge Mrs. Weasley's kiss.

"We will be safe, don't worry." Hermione's tone was simple, with an undoubted look on her face, but all this was broken by Mrs. Weasley's tight hug.

Finally, Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry and burst into tears.

"Promise me to take good care of myself and stay out of trouble..."

"I like a quiet life, you know, Mrs. Weasley." Harry said seriously, successfully making Mrs. Weasley laugh.

She stepped back and finally warned: "Everyone will be fine..." Then, she watched Harry and others disappear into the fireplace one by one.

The familiar feeling of dizziness hit Harry, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all. He was used to this feeling and stopped firmly in Professor McGonagall's fireplace.

This scene must have happened many times today, and right in front of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were standing there. Professor McGonagall was completely unmoved and did not even raise her head.

"Good evening, Potter. Don't get too much dust on the carpet."

"No, Professor, I'm very careful."

Harry straightened his glasses and straightened out his appearance. The four of them bowed to Professor McGonagall and left her office, heading towards Gryffindor Tower.

"Worthless." Ron said confidently in front of the Fat Lady's portrait.

"No." The fat lady looked paler than before and lacked energy.

"What's wrong?" Ron was stunned and had not yet reacted.

"The password is wrong, change the password." The fat lady rubbed her head, as if she was frightened by Ron's loud voice.

Harry and the others had no time to pay attention to Ron, who was glaring at the Fat Lady. They looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces.Especially for Hermione and Ginny, this was the first time they didn't know the password to the common room.

In other words, they were "navi".

"Hi Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Ron..." Just as he was thinking about it, the real Neville appeared at the other end of the corridor holding a thick book, saying hello to them and running over. "How was your Christmas?"

"It's terrible." Harry shook his head, "Too many things have happened..."

"Yeah..." Neville sighed, "After the incident in Diagon Alley, my grandma didn't even allow me to leave his sight... even when I was going to the toilet..."

"Ah, that's really too bad." Harry and Ron sighed in unison, and Neville also looked like he couldn't bear to look back on the past.

When the three elders were lost in some strange memories, Hermione asked aloud: "Neville, do you know the new password?"

"I know!" Neville became inexplicably agitated and blurted out, "Quit drinking!"

"Correct." The fat lady still looked listless, but she still showed them the portrait hole.

"What happened to her?" Harry asked curiously as they walked into the cave one after another.

"Christmas was so crazy," said Neville from the front. "It seemed like she and her friends drank all the wine in the painting of some drunken monks next to the corridor of the Charms classroom... …”

"Ah, no wonder..." Harry nodded upon hearing this, which already answered everything.

He didn't find it strange. He had seen even more outrageous things, such as the knight's portrait outside the Potions classroom and the knight's duel in the portrait in the corridor on the sixth floor. Then both of them were seriously injured and screamed in pain, which directly woke up the whole family. Castle man.In the end, it was Delise Devante, the former headmistress of Hogwarts, who took the initiative to cure them.

The Fat Lady getting drunk with her best friend Ms. Violet is really nothing in comparison.

"By the way, I almost forgot, Dumbledore asked me to give this to you." Neville said as he entered the common room and rummaged through his pockets, but he couldn't find it at all.Then he shook the book in his hand frantically, and then a piece of parchment fell out of the book.

"Here, this is it." Neville bent down and picked up the parchment and handed it to Harry. Harry quickly took it, opened it, read it once and closed it.

"Tomorrow night," he said, "it will be faster this time."

"It's normal, after all, such a bad attack happened during the holidays." Hermione shrugged.

Except for Neville, everyone else looked indifferent, which obviously made Neville anxious.When Harry saw this, he directly told him about Dumbledore giving him lessons. Upon hearing this, Neville's face was filled with sincerity that he was happy for his friend.

"That's great!" Neville said, with a hint of envy in his eyes.But that's all. He is very self-aware and knows his talent in magic.

So, there is only envy.

Harry didn't pay attention to Neville's expression and discussed the matter in Diagon Alley with them.Not only that, Harry also told Scrimgeour about asking him for help, which immediately attracted criticism from everyone.

They all agreed that after making Harry suffer so much last year, they still wanted to ask him for help and let him stand up, even if the minister was changed, it would be an extremely speechless thing.

"So thick-skinned." This was Neville's feeling.

"Standard politician." This is Hermione's summary.
