Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

"It's like this..." Harry recounted what they encountered to Hermione in the shortest possible words, while Daphne on the other side had a look of impatience on her face.

She didn't want to delay for a second, so she would rather choose a more direct solution.

If the wave of spells just now could knock Hermione and Neville to the ground directly, then they wouldn't need to waste this time. Unfortunately, Hermione's dodge and counterattack speed were somewhat beyond her expectations, so she had to pay a price for it.

After listening to Harry's explanation, Hermione still tended to find the professor to solve the problem.

"I can't even count how many school rules this will violate..."

Daphne was so angry at Hermione's words that she wished she could continue to pull out her wand and use force to solve the problem.

She just wanted to rush to the Forbidden Forest as soon as possible, investigate the changes there, and share some of the burden on Rice's shoulders - how could she have time to hang out with Hermione here and discuss whether to ask the professor for help? Not to mention those ridiculous school rules.

"So where's Les? Why didn't you see him?" Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense, Harry quickly changed the subject.

"He has more important things and can't come for the time being, but he also hopes that we can solve the problem." Astoria answered Harry's doubts.

Daphne said angrily: "We are facing an unprecedented crisis, so forget about school rules at this time!"

Astoria also helped: "Harry also asked the professor, but it was no use. Now we can only rely on ourselves."

Hermione frowned and looked down at Neville, who was lying frozen on the ground without speaking.

Daphne didn't want to pester her anymore, so she grabbed her sister's hand and walked out of the castle.

"Don't worry about them, let's deal with the monsters in the Forbidden Forest first - if she wants to inform the teacher, let her go. Anyway, I'm going to the Forbidden Forest now!" Daphne said in a very firm tone.

She was ready to be expelled.

Hermione froze in place.

Her worldview was shaken. In her mind, school rules have a very high status, so everyone will obey orders obediently in front of school rules, and those who violate school rules will be punished. As a result, there were two people who would rather be severely punished by school rules than do one thing today, which really surprised her.

By the time she reacted, Daphne and Astoria had already run more than ten meters away, and even Harry followed them.

At this time, Daphne's previous words, "If she wants to tell, let her do it" rang in her ears again, and Hermione's face suddenly turned red.

They are all young and energetic people, how can they bear this kind of anger? If she quits tonight, wouldn't she confirm her identity as a "whistleblower"?

Thinking of this, Hermione no longer hesitated and immediately accelerated her pace to follow. She wanted Sister Daphne to see clearly that she was not the kind of person who would snitch.

And to be honest, she was also quite interested in the "world-devouring" crisis that Harry mentioned.

……

After the four people left, Rice's figure appeared in the corner.

"Salazar, you teach such a good student - is this the way Slytherin teaches?" Rowena's tone was full of teasing. When Daphne chose to raid Hermione and Neville, she was also very surprised: this was not like Slytherin at all! Instead, it was filled with the shadow of Godric.

"Be considerate, she is a descendant of Adrian." Les was not surprised at all.

And he felt that this was actually very Slytherin - to achieve the goal, sometimes you have to do whatever it takes. If there was anything Daphne did wrong, it was failing to take down Hermione in one blow. If it were him, he might use sharper spells instead of soft things like coma spells and petrification spells.

Hearing the name Adrian, Ravenclaw was immediately relieved: Yes, it makes sense to be a descendant of Adrian!

"I wanted to put more burdens on the children, but they didn't agree." Ravenclaw chuckled.

Les rolled his eyes: Hermione survived that round of attacks. If you are defeated by Daphne and the others here, I will see if you have the nerve to continue chatting with me.

what a pity! Thinking of this, Les couldn't help but feel a little regretful: if Hermione fell here, Ravenclaw's expression would be very interesting.

Just as Les was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Neville passed out on the floor out of the corner of his eye.

He couldn't help but sigh: The children were so excited that they didn't know how to clean up the scene. Neville is lying here, and it won't be long before he is discovered by the professor on night watch or Filch, and then there will be another incident.

At the same time, he felt a little sad for Longbottom who was knocked unconscious: this is the result of insufficient strength. If Hermione was as ordinary as Neville, it would be the two of them lying here tonight.

I hope you can join in the adventures in the future instead of lying on the cold ground. With a wave of Les's wand, Neville disappeared.

……

"According to the information provided by Harry, the monster is located in the Acromantula's lair. We must first find a way to find the spider's lair." On the way to the Forbidden Forest, Daphne began to analyze how they should complete Les's arrangement. task.

Harry was already catching up quickly, with Hermione following closely behind him, breathing slightly faster. Daphne glanced at her and said nothing. But the fact that she was willing to follow made Daphne quite satisfied.

Astoria frowned: "But choosing to enter the Forbidden Forest late at night will limit our vision. It will be very difficult to find the spider's nest - if we are suddenly attacked by a spider like last time, I am afraid it will cause Very serious consequences."

There was something she didn't say: There was no Les to tell them the truth this time.

"And the last time?" Hermione couldn't help but complain.

Daphne and Astoria ignored her.

After hearing about the difficulties encountered by several people, a bold idea emerged in Harry's mind. He spoke, and said in a tone that was so excited that he said, "Maybe I can help you."

Daphne, Astoria and Hermione all looked at him.

In fact, they were all a little unconvinced: after all, Harry had not shown many extraordinary qualities in the past two years, but the three people present had their own backgrounds.

"Give me a broomstick, and I'll fly into the air to find the location of the spider's nest." Harry spoke faster and faster: "In mid-air, with the help of the moon, it's easy to find the spider's nest - I can guide you in heaven.”

The three of them fell into silence, mentally assessing the feasibility of what Harry said.

"I think so." Hermione spoke first: "Many magical animals hunted in the air will go dormant after nightfall. At this time, the sky above the Forbidden Forest is not that dangerous, and Harry can go up to investigate."

Her statement was unanimously approved by Daphne and Astoria.
