Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

Fleur's voice startled both of them.

"I have indeed accepted this ---" Fleur paused, her cold face full of chill. She seemed to be looking for an adjective, but in the end she couldn't find a suitable description due to her poor English.

"In the reporter's interview, she asked me about my first impressions of you. I just said a few words out of politeness."

Fleur looked at Soul and Hermione and explained seriously,

"Then, this reporter chatted with me for a few words before the first project started. All she asked was about Mr. Bones and, of course, Mr. Porter. I felt that she had some evil intentions..."

"I originally wanted to find an opportunity to tell you, just when the first project was over and Mr. Bagman announced the content of the second project..."

Fleur's explanation was very straightforward, she almost said 'I'm not interested in Sule Bones'

Su Er blinked blankly, not knowing how to respond.

"I didn't know she would write so nonsense," she said. "I'm very sorry for causing trouble to you."

"It's okay, Fleur." Hermione stood up, "This reporter's reputation in our country has always been like this... You may not know... She was in the newspaper some time ago..."

Soul watched in confusion as Hermione pulled Fleur to sit next to her and began to mumble.

Um? ?Um? ?What happened? Why was he suddenly pushed out?

……

While Soul was enjoying the French breakfast, Harry also came to the auditorium. Similarly, he also received the attention of most of the troublemakers. After learning what happened, he stammered and explained to Soul that he absolutely did not As this woman Rita said, to Hermione...

"Everyone knows about my relationship with Hermione." Soul glanced at Hermione who was chatting with Fleur. She even took out her customized badges from her pocket. Well, it looks like her elf The Liberation Front is about to welcome new members.

"Everyone knows that Rita Skeeter is making things up. No one will believe what she writes in the report. Don't worry." Soul stood up and patted Harry's shoulder lightly, without leaving any trace. He glanced at Ron, who was following Harry like a little transparent person, and raised his voice to Hermione,

"Hermione, I'm going to the library, will you go?"

Hermione waved her hand without looking back.

Well, it seems that she still has to inculcate the philosophy of the organization she founded with Fleur, so she doesn't have time for the time being.

So, Soul had to go to the library by himself, but before that...

"Principal Dumbledore isn't in the castle?" Soul looked at the stone monster in surprise.

"Yes." The stone monster said in a dull voice, "The principal left the castle last night."

"okay, thank you."

Soul originally wanted to ask Dumbledore about Ariana, but there was nothing he could do if Dumbledore was not in the castle, so Soul had no choice but to go to the library as he had planned.

Rita Skeeter's report only lasted for two days and then subsided. As Suhr said, no one took Rita Skeeter's words seriously. They just became more aware of the gossip in it. Just interested.

Hermione's mood is better than Sur expected. The relationship between her and Sur is quite stable and has not been affected in any way. Maybe it's because of the Elf Liberation Front that she has no time to care about Sur recently, right?

This actually made Su Er feel a little disappointed.

For several days, Soul had no chance to spend time together with Hermione. Every time they had dinner or class, Hermione would always solve the problem in a hurry and then disappear.

Also disappearing with her was Fleur Delacour, the two of whom had been chatting together when they had time since that day.

Sur, on the other hand, wanted to follow Hermione to see what she was up to, but Hermione kept urging her to unlock the secret inside the golden egg. This was his most important thing at the moment.

But Suer already knew what he was going to face in the second level. The so-called secret was completely meaningless in his eyes.

Therefore, during this period of time, he had to focus on finding Rita Skeeter.

It is indeed not easy to find a small beetle in such a huge castle, and Suer has always found nothing.

Ariana has never appeared, and Sur has released the Patronus Charm more than once. The feeling given to him is that, well, how should I put it, there is nothing wrong with his Patronus, as always, but that's it, and it is probably within the normal range. 's patron saint.

It looks normal, but that's the most unusual thing about it.

"Actually, I have always wanted to find you alone and say thank you, Soul." Dumbledore exhaled a long breath.

"You should already know Ariana's identity from Aberforth, my brother, right?"

The conversation took place on Friday night, more than a week after Dumbledore left the castle. Soul saw Dumbledore in the auditorium after a few days, so after dinner, he went to the eighth floor of the castle to wait for Dumbledore. .

"Yes, I learned the story about what happened to Ariana from Mr. Dumbledore." Soul held the pumpkin juice and sunk into the sofa.

"That's a memory I don't want to think about." Dumbledore said with a wry smile, "That was our mistake, but fortunately, thank you for allowing us to see her again."

"But I can't feel Ariana's presence at all now, Professor." Suer shook his head, "It started after that day."

"Didn't Aberforth tell you?" Dumbledore was a little surprised, and then shook his head slightly, "That's true. This is consistent with his character."

"Do you know where Ariana went?" Sur asked curiously.

"Before I talk about this, I'm curious, Soul, when did you meet Ariana?" Dumbledore did not answer directly, but asked about the process of Soul and Ariana's acquaintance.

Soul hesitated, then told Dumbledore what he had said to Aberforth.

"That's it." Dumbledore nodded slightly, took a sip of black tea with three pieces of sugar, and pondered for a long time.

"Originally, I shouldn't have kept Ariana's whereabouts from you, after all..."

"She has become your patron saint..." After saying this, Dumbledore paused, "You should know that that area is the boundary between life and death, right? People's physical death in reality After that, the first stop is where they go through to enter the world of the dead.”

Soul nodded, and Dumbledore took another sip of the extremely sweet black tea and continued.

"The Patronus Charm we are learning now has been simplified through historical evolution."

"The Patronus Charm that first appeared in history was caused by a wizard. The wizard lost the person he cherished, so he tried every means to bring the person he cherished back to the world through the Patronus Charm."

"I remember, that person failed in the end." Suer said after seeing this period of history.

"Yes, he failed. As far as I know, you are the only person who has successfully done this. From this, we can know that the Patronus Curse is indeed connected to that world." Dumbledore nodded. .

"So, Ariana left to go to that world." Soul understood what Dumbledore said, reacted, and replied.

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded, "I want to verify a guess. I can't tell you the details yet. I'm sorry."
