HP Hermione's Phoenix

No one could stop the confused Harry.At night, Ron and Neville watched as he slipped out of the common room while wearing the cloak, ignoring no one.

"You don't have to follow him." Hermione raised her eyebrows, "Leave him alone for a while—he's fine in the castle."

Harry wandered around the castle in a trance.His steps were vain, and his mind was empty.

During the day, Professor McGonagall's conversation kept spinning in his mind, and when he realized it, he found himself outside Lupine's office.

- Remus Lupine... So, he already knew himself, didn't he,

He looked at the door of the office very complicatedly.That door was tightly locked, as if deliberately hiding the same secret as now, which cannot be revealed to himself...

After three years of enrollment, he was finally lucky to have such a good teacher as Lupine in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.Maybe he's the nicest teacher of all, maybe even the twins think he's cool.

—But why didn't he say it?On the train, after class...

—and he said he was going to teach himself the Patronus Charm.

Harry felt a deep abandonment-like anger.Aren't you my father's good friend?Why don't you tell me?You obviously treat me very well, why don't you recognize me...

His mind seemed to be in a turbulent vortex, and he wished he could break in immediately and ask Lupine what happened back then.However, at this moment, a figure stomped, the black robe billowed, and the gloomy air flow cut through the dark corridor.

It was Snape.He still had a serious face and a gloomy manner, and he came over holding a steaming goblet.

Harry held his breath, watching the office door open quickly, and the moment Lupine saw Snape, the corners of Lupine's mouth twitched violently.

Harry's eyes widened, seeing that his next words were: "Oh... Severus, thank you for another potion. Come in."

Harry almost didn't think about it, and followed Snape into it wearing the Invisibility Cloak.

"You should drink it right away." Snape said coldly, putting down the goblet.

"Yes...I know...okay." Lupine picked up the glass with a wry smile.

Harry didn't know why his heart was in his throat.He looked silently at Lupine, then at Snape.

——Of course Snape wouldn't do harm to anyone, he already knew this deeply...

——However, why Lupine's expression on drinking the medicine is so painful...

"You should finish it in one gulp." Snape continued to look at him sarcastically.

"Oh, I know..." Lupine frowned, swallowed the glass of potion very hard, almost as if forcing himself to drink it.

Harry knew he shouldn't think so, but Lupine really looked like he'd been poisoned.

It's definitely not his illusion.He was very sure that Snape's paralyzed face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years suddenly showed a happy expression: "You're welcome, Remus. If it's not enough, I have some more."

"Oh, yes, thank you very much..."

Harry's Invisibility Cloak was about to fall off.He saw with his own eyes that after Lupine finished saying this, he closed his eyes and fell down on the table with a bang.

The melancholy savior suddenly turned pale with fright! ! !

As soon as Snape walked out on his back feet, he dropped the invisibility cloak and hurried up to push Lupin: "Professor!!!—Professor, what's wrong with you!! Wake up!!! What the hell are you drinking!!!..."

Although he didn't know what was going on at all, a sense of panic overwhelmed him instantly.He immediately grabbed the invisibility cloak, no matter what, find someone to help when he goes out, at least let Madam Pomfrey know...

But as soon as he went out, he met Snape's mocking face.

The faint lights on both sides of the corridor shone on the face of the paralyzed and cool High Priest of the Demon City, making Snape's stern face more and more unpredictable.

Harry suddenly felt uncomfortable...

With a splash, Snape jerked off his invisibility cloak.

"It seems that nothing that happened in the past two years can make Mr. Potter calm down a little bit." Snape returned to the way he saw him in the first grade, sharp, merciless, and full of irony: "Even if Not even the presence of dementors can dissuade the great Potter from his night travel plans."

Harry stared at him, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word...

He really wanted to ask him what he gave Lupine to drink, but he suddenly thought of it—Snape was in the same class as his mother, and he also knew his father, so, what happened to Black, what happened to Lupine He also knows everything...

Snape was annoyed at the sight of those beautiful green eyes full of Chuanqi, snorted coldly: "Follow me to the office!" Then he threw off his robe and left.

Hermione stood in the terminal room of the Room of Requirement, gazing at the Marauder's Map that covered the entire wall in front of her.

Overwhelming passages, steps and instructions, countless moving black spots that make people feel dense phobia.Even if it is enlarged to the size of the entire wall, the Marauder's Map still makes people dazzled or even dizzy.

"I've been planning this since last year." She stared at the wall and said, "The school map should be remodeled..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and put her five fingers on a certain area.

Soon, the control center felt the traction of her spiritual force and automatically enlarged the map.

Those were two small dots moving down the hallway on the fourth floor, looking like they were going to the cellar.In front was Severus Snape, walking fast; behind was Harry Potter, looking staggering.

Hermione nodded: "Follow Snape, it's safe after all, so there's no need to send Peeves to follow..."

Having said that, she turned her gaze to the field on the edge of the castle.

It wasn't included on the map, but Hermione could see it.At this moment, her eyes were tightly wrinkled, as if she saw the little black dots of the group of dementors, moving like ghosts...

--never mind.She secretly thought that in the future, she would set up more magic circles and include all the maps outside the school.

She moved her fingers, and before she knew it, she had moved to the Slytherin common room.

In the enlarged space, the location of the Slytherin people can be seen at a glance.Blaise Zabini and a group of girls were still outside the common room, while Draco was back in his bedroom.

Hermione looked from bedroom to bedroom.Slytherin students are often born in aristocratic families, and the names of the aristocratic families are usually extremely long. After zooming in, the black characters showing the names are even bigger, almost covering an entire room.She looked a little irritable, wishing to block all the black characters that displayed her name.

However, she finally stopped, and in what looked like the smallest dormitory, a row of small black dots was displayed:

【Tom Granger's Puppet】

Hogwarts smiled slightly behind her: "Ah, Tom isn't in the dormitory again."

Hermione raised her eyebrows: "What's that? - Can a castle show something like that?"

Hogwarts nodded calmly: "Of course. Because everyone thought it was Tom."

"Then where is he now?"

"The Chamber of Secrets. Seriously, you should visit him more often. He's always in the water alone, so lonely."

Hermione quickly slid her finger, and after a few clicks, the Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was displayed—since the Chamber of Secrets was restarted, it was now possible to display the part of it that had been opened on the map.

There are only four parts that have been opened:

[Helbo's room] - directly connected to the bottom of the Black Lake and the women's toilet;

【Salazar's study】——that's where Hermione found the Potion Notes of the founder of the school, and gave it to Snape;

【Salazar's Magic Circle House】——is the location of the magic circle with the powerful power of space-time law;

[Slytherin Hall] - the largest outer room.At the moment, Haierbo and Tom are there.

Hermione waved her hand and enlarged the [Slytherin] hall.

The two small black spots remained motionless for a long time.Among them, Haierbo's black spot is a circle bigger than Tom's - Hermione guessed that this is because Haierbo's size is really big.

Hogwarts looked at Hermione's expression.The villain in the castle stared at her for a long time, and suddenly understood.

It stood on the table and tilted its head at Hermione with a smile: "You are also curious about what Tom is doing, right? Do you want to see it?"

Hermione said flatly: "What else can I do. I won't go to the Chamber of Secrets."

Hogwarts shook his head: "No. I want you to see—not to go."

Suddenly there was a flash of brilliance on the screen, Hermione was slightly taken aback, and suddenly noticed that the style of the painting on the wall changed...

——The plain map with dots, lines and planes just now has gradually produced a three-dimensional image, frame by frame, vividly showing the scene in the secret room...

——It is indeed a big change in painting style!

Hermione looked at the wall like a camera, facing the center of the Chamber of Secrets hall——

The black-haired boy was completely naked, lying wet in the ice coffin, as if lifeless, even his entire face was buried in it...

Hai Erbo was dozing off beside him, the faint fluorescent light on the wall shone on the ice coffin, making it look more and more mysterious...

Hermione stared at it for a long time, so long that Hogwarts was slightly ashamed, and just wanted to remind her whether it was inappropriate to stare at it for so long, Tom had no clothes on...

But Hermione suddenly spoke, her tone was extremely admiring: "Not bad, really good. Hogwarts, your function is no worse than a CCTV."

"Uh... what's that?"

"Muggle stuff. Has your school map been updated? It couldn't be displayed before, right?"

"Yes." Hogwarts said somewhat proudly, "After you set up the national LAN for me this summer, I slowly explored it, and I am still researching it."

"In this case, there will be almost no secrets in the castle..." she said to herself, "Can I see it from other places? What is Dumbledore doing at this time?"

"No way." Castle shook his head, "I just figured it out. The secret room is different from other places. I can only capture the situation in the secret room..."

Hermione nodded, and said decisively: "I understand. You still need to continue to expand the network and upgrade the settings, so that your intelligence can further advance...I will find a way."

Hogwarts was standing on the table—now that its intelligence had improved, it had grown a lot taller than before, so it was already at the same level as Hermione.

It said with a little shame: "Hermione, of course I am very happy that you can do this... But you see, LittleTom is very pitiful in the Chamber of Secrets. Do not socialize with classmates. Alone, in the secret room, always alone, and the water is so cold...Are you really not going to see him?"

Hermione sat down: "I just came back from Hogsmeade with him today."

Castle's little head drooped: "But he looked even more depressed when he came back! I don't even know how to comfort him!"

Hermione looked up, staring at Hogwarts.She finally said: "Actually, I've always been very strange... You seem to pay more attention to Tom. You care more about him than other people. Why?"

She spread the teacup in the palm of her hand and warmed it with internal force.The aroma of black tea was dense and soon wafted throughout the room.

Castle nodded and said seriously: "Because he is Tom."

"Well... because he has Slytherin blood, is he a descendant of the founder after all?" Hermione asked.

"No." Castle said firmly, "Tom is Tom, and it will not change because of his last name or the blood in his body. Tom is Tom. In the past 50 years, among all the students, I like me the most and trust me the most. I, the person who relies on me the most and cannot live without me.”

Hermione froze slightly.

"I can always feel his breath and his feelings from Tom..." Castle closed his eyes and murmured, "Although he has done some bad things, his heart is always in pain. Tom's heart, It was really painful, lots and lots of black, hard parts... But, he was a very gentle man. He would never, ever lie to me."

"Is that so..."

"You know the only person in 50 years who has made me feel as strongly attached to me?"

"who is it?……"

"It's Harry." The castle whispered, "He also likes me from the bottom of his heart, and doesn't want to leave me... But, Harry is a bright and cheerful child. He has a lot of pain, but he doesn't wrap it deeply like Tom. He has a lot of friends, a lot of people who take care of him—so Tom is the one that worries me the most."

There was silence in the terminal room.Hermione turned her head and looked at the clear picture on the wall display, and at the black-haired boy soaked in the cold liquid, suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart...

After all, he was planted by me, should I pay more attention to his heart?Hermione thought secretly.

There are thousands of demons in the world, but the inner demon is the heaviest.The mainstream thinking in the field of comprehension often calls on people to resist demons, and there are also psychiatrists in this world.However, there are many people who find it difficult to do so, and eventually fall into darkness, becoming demons with one thought...

Just thinking about it like this, Hogwarts suddenly changed his face: "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Hermione's heart skipped a beat.Suddenly, her mind moved, and she waved her hand violently to shrink the map.

On the global map, countless black spots are rushing in the same direction.The turbulent crowd like ants fit together with the overwhelming handwriting. It takes hard work to distinguish the names of many teachers and students...

"There was an accident in Gryffindor Tower." Hogwarts said with a gloomy face, "Go back quickly, Hermione... All the teachers have passed, as have the students from other colleges, and the headmaster has activated the school's defense system ...but...but..."

Without raising her head, Hermione raised her legs and stepped into the fast passage that popped out of nowhere on the wall. Amidst the rattling sounds of fast running in the castle, her voice tightened: "But what?"

"But..." The villain in the castle stood beside her and raised his head in a daze, and said in a low voice, "I didn't feel it at all... I didn't feel it at all. Someone came in maliciously towards me or the students. It's..."
