Hogwarts Fantastic Beasts in the Stomach

As night fell slowly, the raven stood on the eaves of Hogwarts, curiously looking at the students coming and going.

Even they seem to know that for students, final exams are coming.

In the warm Hufflepuff lounge, the bustling little badgers in the past have all quieted down. They more or less started reading with their books. But for these students who are serious about class, the exam itself It's not a difficult thing either.

Well, this sentence is not mocking other people.

"..." Carlos closed the textbook in annoyance: "Sweet and sour pork... I would rather go to Professor Snape's office for confinement than read History of Magic!"

"Oh, Carlos... If I were Professor Binns, I would be very happy that you failed..." Ernie raised his head and said casually: "I heard that he likes to scare the students who fail the most."

"Especially when you're sleeping..."

"Ah...really, really?" Before Carlos could speak, Justin spoke first. He seemed to be very scared: "I...I don't like him coming out from under the bed."

"It's quite interesting." Carlos showed curiosity.

"..." Ernie looked at the performance of the two and shook his head helplessly: "I'm just joking... Who knows when he will choose to scare you." "

"Tch...boring..." Carlos said, closing the book, then resting his arms on his head and looking at the other students studying.

"How did you see it?" he asked, tilting his head.

"Well..." Ernie thought for a moment and said, "Just think of it as reading a story."

"I will not read such a boring story." Carlos complained: "There is no princess in love with the devil, nor knights and dragons..."

"How come there are only a few evil-minded dark wizards thinking of torturing Muggles..."

"So what you think is interesting is... romance novels?" Ernie curled his lips and said, "That kind of literature... is only suitable for reading while lying in bed."

"Not in a magical institution like Hogwarts."

Ernie's words made both Carlos and Justin blink.

"And if you fail... I think you'll be busy next semester." Ernie said, taking out a notebook from his book.

"Maybe you can take a look at this." He said and handed the notebook to Carlos: "These are the condensed notes I took before."

"Streamlining notes?" Carlos smiled. It would be great for him to be able to take down less boring things.

However, when he opened the notebook, he immediately frowned: "Ernie...is this also streamlining?" He turned the notebook over, and the densely packed words on it were crowded together, as if they were being squeezed to eat. Poisonhorn for lunch.

"Oh...this has already omitted a lot." Ernie said: "And sometimes I even fall asleep."

“I haven’t made up for those parts yet.”

"..." Carlos sighed, then flipped through the notebook helplessly...

"If I'm guilty, just punish me...instead of making me recite the history of magic here."

"Bang bang bang bang..." As soon as Carlos finished speaking, the door to the Hufflepuff lounge was opened, and Hannah ran in anxiously, holding a small note in her hand.

"What's the matter, Hannah?" Carlos asked curiously. For him, anything could make him happy as long as it wasn't reading.

"It's not good news." Hannah shrugged and said, "The final exam seems to be coming forward."

"Huh?!" All the little wizards stood up in surprise. They couldn't believe what Hannah said.

"Why?" asked a little badger: "Obviously... there are obviously so many..."

"When is it advanced?" Carlos asked cautiously. He was afraid that something terrible would happen... Well, it was the kind of exam that was advanced to tomorrow.

"Next Monday..." Hannah started.

"..."

The Hufflepuff common room fell into silence, and the young wizards didn't know what to say for a moment.

For a moment, the Hufflepuff common room was filled with sadness.

Carlos lowered his head and looked at the dense notes... He felt something was wrong. It was hard for him to imagine what Grandma Tina would do after learning the news that she had failed.

…………

"Principal Dumbledore, why do we have to take the exam in advance?" In the principal's office, many professors looked at him in confusion. They seemed to have just been notified.

"Because of some small things." Dumbledore smiled: "It's related to the Ministry of Magic..."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, the professors felt helpless for a moment.

"Albus, you should have told me in advance." McGonagall said, "Many students may not have had time to review yet..."

"It looks like we have to keep it simple," said Sprout, a kind-hearted professor who rarely failed a student.

Her words made other professors nod, but McGonagall remained silent.

She didn't like the way it seemed to open a back door for students.

Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile. He didn't seem to be ready to explain anything. He just took a casual sip of honey tea and sat down.

Soon, the professors left one by one, until finally, Snape stood alone in the principal's office looking at Dumbledore.

"What are your plans?" he asked slowly.

"Or do you really have something weird to deal with?" Snape's voice was low, as if he didn't believe this reason.

"It has something to do with the Sorcerer's Stone." Dumbledore slowly explained: "The longer he stays here... the more dangerous it becomes."

"Him?" Snape nodded clearly, knowing that Dumbledore had already locked the target.

"Well..." Dumbledore nodded and looked at Snape: "He can't wait any longer."

"Besides, I just have something to do and can leave Hogwarts."

"Leave?" Snape frowned, knowing that Dumbledore wanted to lure that guy out.

but……

"Why not just catch him?" Snape expressed his doubts.

"Because... I doubt..." Dumbledore whispered: "What is he talking about behind his back..."

"..." Snape thought for a few seconds, and then a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

He knew who Dumbledore was talking about...and also knew what kind of hatred that person had against him.

He sighed, then turned to leave.

Dumbledore has his own plans.

"Wait...Severus." Dumbledore suddenly called out to Snape.

He looked into Snape's eyes and ordered: "On the day the exams are over... keep an eye on Harry and Carlos."

"They would be his targets."
