[HP] A Brief History of Time

Dementors currently have a small impact on the climate of Hogwarts, and people gradually forget their existence and start school life as usual.The weather is getting colder and it is almost October.If anything, the second year was different, except that Virginia finally re-experienced the feeling that her homework was going well, and that she was even more alone.Bernie is already a sixth grade student, and there is not much time left in school, so Lettis will accompany Bernie most of the time except for class. Often the castle bell has been ringing for a long time, and they are still nestled in the common room reluctantly ; and Kelsey has applied to move to freshman dorms in Hufflepuff.

Virginia was in a hurry to wrap up the last report of the week, and Anne, who rarely accompanied her in the library self-study, also stuffed the book into her schoolbag.

"Shall we go to dinner together?"

"No, I have something else to do." Annie glanced at her shyly, and added another sentence of explanation, "Bentley asked me to have dinner tonight."

Virginia stared at her with wide eyes. Another new boy.In the entire dormitory, Anne has changed the most. Her curly brown hair has grown to her waist, her face is small and delicate, and she is ten centimeters taller than Virginia.Happily, she didn't seem to be attached to Cedric anymore.

Virginia picked up her schoolbag lightly and walked to the dormitory alone.Aside from seeing Draco every Wednesday and Thursday night at the Potions Office, even he seemed to be out of the news.She walked to the stairs on the library floor and stopped. Last semester, it was here that she was pushed down the stairs by Dobby, so she saved her life.She remembered that at the end of the semester, at Draco's suggestion, she gave Dobby a pair of Muggle children's sneakers. He was so happy that he sent back a corn cream cake that he made himself. Although it was crooked, it tasted really sweet. unique.

Thinking of this, Virginia decided not to go to the restaurant by herself, but went directly to the kitchen to find Dobby.She touched her whole body, and decided to give the small scarf around her neck to Dobby in exchange for a big meal.

"Oh, Virginia, how great to see you again!"

Virginia looked up, and saw a figure crookedly walking down the stairs with a huge schoolbag in her arms. It wasn't until she stepped on the last step that Virginia saw the schoolbag and Hermione unabashedly surprise face.

"But this is the first time we've met this week." Virginia was a little puzzled.

"Ah," said Hermione nonchalantly, "I've been too busy lately, and my mind may be confused. Can you do me a favor?"

"Where are you going now?" Virginia saw that while her right hand was holding the schoolbag, there were still two books under her armpit, so she reached out and pulled it out for her. "It's dinner time."

"I have to go to the library to hurry up and do my homework for a while, and then I have to go to astronomy class." Hermione was a little frantic, borrowing her schoolbag as a temporary desk board through the railing of the stairs, she was flipping through a small notebook Diary, her dark circles are very serious, and she looks extremely sleep deprived. She found a few lines on one of the pages, looked at it, and dug out a few homework from her schoolbag, "I now have a lot of things to do except textbooks." I can't remember, I'm running out of time, please give these to Harry for me. He wants them tonight."

"How many courses have you taken?" Virginia glanced at the small notebook she remembered densely.

"A little too much." Hermione said vaguely, she grabbed the two books in Virginia's hand, "Okay, thank you, Virginia, it's always right to learn more, After all, I am not a child who grew up in a wizarding family, and I still have a lot to learn!"

"Then pay attention to your body." Virginia resentfully said to her back.

Maybe the third grade will be so busy.Virginia was not in the mood to go to the kitchen either. She sat directly at the dining table in the hall, picked up a few vegetables, jams and cakes from the clean plates that appeared automatically at her hand.

Someone sat down beside her.

"Hi, Virginia."

Virginia was chewing something in her mouth, and jam accidentally got on her mouth, "Hi, Harry." She was a little embarrassed, and quickly wiped her mouth and greeted, "Exactly, I'm looking for you... ..."

"Virginia," Harry was so preoccupied that he didn't hear what Virginia was saying. He glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Have you met Malfoy recently?"

"No, what's the matter, do you have something to look for him?"

"...It's about Buckbeak." Harry was a little nervous.

Virginia didn't understand at all, "Who?"

Someone had already finished their dinner and left the hall. Harry seemed to be more nervous. He moved his head forward, "It's about the Hippogriff, and Buckbeak is its name. Warrington insisted, Now Buckbeak is under guard, Hagrid has missed two classes, Warrington said that the board of directors has proposed to the Ministry of Magic to expel Hagrid from Hogwarts, and Buckbeak... don't know What will happen." When Harry said this, anger was already hidden in his tone, "Warrington's end is simply unbearable!"

"Oh," Virginia sympathized, but she had no clue at all. "Is there anything you really want to tell me, Harry? I think it would be better if you told Headmaster Dumbledore about it."

"But he's busy," Harry said, "and he can't do anything about the Ministry of Magic. Hermione said that Malfoy is the chairman of the board and can influence the board's thinking."

"But I haven't met him all week." Virginia put down the knife and fork in her hand. "You go to class with him, and it's better to ask him for help yourself."

"But we all think it would be better to talk to you."

"Why do you think so?"

"You don't look like you want to." Harry hesitated.

"I'm sorry for being so obvious. I don't really like meddling in other people's affairs. Besides, you guys have too much confidence in me. Do you really think I can help?" Virginia handed Hermione over to A few of her homework were taken out of her bag, "Hermione asked me to pass this to you, she said you need it tonight."

Harry was a little disappointed, but he didn't have much hope in the first place.He mumbled, "Thank you, why didn't she give it to us during dinner?"

"Did you say just now during dinner?" Virginia was very surprised, "But she should be in the library now."

Harry looked at her in bewilderment, "That's impossible!"

"Well," Virginia said, rising from the table, "maybe she's changed her mind. If I ever meet Draco, I'll mention it to him. But I think you'd better talk to him yourself. Say, or, ask Headmaster Dumbledore for help."

Harry nodded. "Thank you, Virginia, though."

Virginia walks down the marble stairs and meets Astoria who is waiting.Her golden curly hair shone under the light, which made Virginia couldn't help touching her own rough hair that was tied into a thick twist.

"Hey, Virginia, are you dating Draco again tonight?" Astoria greeted her with a smile on her face, "Be careful, it's not safe at night, it's best to just walk around the castle alright."

Virginia still couldn't let go of these questions, and she was not very familiar with Astoria, so she just smiled.

"You can't run around after dark, because of Sirius, you know the school is not safe these days," Astoria said very confidingly, "I think Draco returns to the dormitory very late every night."

Virginia looked at her and smiled again, reminding her, "Maybe there's something in particular you want to tell me. I just saw you at the dinner table—Harry's glasses can also be used as mirrors sometimes Yes. I noticed that you stood with your back to us for a long time, and thought you could probably hear what I said." She felt a little uncomfortable, so she didn't save Astoria any face by speaking.

Astoria froze for a moment, bit her cherry lips hesitantly, "Well, Virginia, I confess to you, I did hear what you were talking about with Gryffindor Potter. Even if you think I Mind your own business, and I have to remind you of a little thing—Virginia, maybe because you're a Hufflepuff, you don't quite understand how much conflict Gryffindor and Slytherin have. I think You shouldn't be helping Gryffindor, and you'd better not tell Draco about what Harry Potter told you, so as not to make him angry. You said he was angry because of your association with Gryffindors are you angry?"

"Ah," Virginia replied casually, "you're probably thinking too much. If you're interested in knowing why he came back so late, ask Draco yourself, because I don't know either. "

Astoria kept a worried smile on her face until Virginia entered the door to Hufflepuff's dormitory, and another person she had been waiting for appeared beside her.

"Exuberant curiosity? Or out of good intentions?" Pansy crossed her arms and leaned on the railing of the stairs to look at her. "Astoria, you don't have as much temper as your sister."

Astoria glanced at her, "I'm just a little worried about her. She helped me at the beginning of school, and I can't watch her get so close to the Gryffindors, making Draco angry and angry." Not happy with his Slytherin friends!"

Pansy's eyes lit up immediately, and her brows stretched, "Oh, of course, at least Warrington won't give up easily." She raised her eyebrows and smiled at Astoria, with indescribable satisfaction in her eyes.

Astoria looked confused.

"Fool!" Pansy said to himself, "Still a coward!"

"Let's go, Daphne said that you are going to the library to find a book. From what I can tell, nothing will happen in the castle at this point."
