There were a few people standing outside the bar of the Three Broomsticks. The range of the miserable wind and rain was pushed into the distance by the spell. They stood outside the door, but their clothes and hair were smooth and their spirits were calm.Hermione had to stand between them as soon as she went out.

"Excuse me... did I disturb you?" She asked politely.

They were all Hogwarts students, a few familiar Slytherin faces, and a raw Ravenclaw mixed in.Standing at the front was Greengrass, but Parkinson couldn't help being the first to speak.

"You've been in the way, Mudblood."

Successfully provoked Hermione's temper, she turned cold.

"Then get out of the way, blood lunatic."

"What did you say!"

Parkinson was held back by Gore.

Theodore said impatiently, "Talk about business."

Hermione raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect that they still had business to look for her.

"Stay away from Draco." Greengrass warned sternly, "He's not someone like you to think about."

The expressions on Parkinson's face and those of the other girls showed that they were on the same page.

...Stupid for a while, Hermione looked around at them like an idiot.

"If you can, I want you to tell someone like him: stay away from me——"

She noticed the presence of two boys.

"Can't even you see who is being stalked, Knott, Goyle?"

The boy whose name was called looked a little embarrassed.

Theodore frowned sullenly, and sneered coldly: "I can't control him."

Goyle blushed, and muttered: "But... Draco won't let us follow now."

Hermione laughed angrily: "It's an honor to follow him? It's unreasonable!"

"Don't get cheap and act good!" Greenglass scolded.

"Don't be polite to her!" "She needs a lesson—"

A blast of black magic hit Hermione.

"Ah ah ah ah ah---!"

The eardrum-piercing screams traversed the three broomsticks, and everyone present was stunned.

"It's Hermione's voice!"

Harry immediately grabbed his wand and scraped out of the bar, followed by Sirius.

"Hermione!"

Harry rushed out the door anxiously, but saw Hermione holding up her wand, and the Slytherins on the opposite side gathered in a group, surrounding Parkinson lying on the ground in the middle.

"Uh..." Hermione smiled awkwardly at Harry, and quickly clutched the writhing ribbon on his chest, which was still screaming in Hermione's voice.

"So that's what this thing is for..." Gore murmured suddenly.

"Help me break the curse!" Parkinson yelled aggrievedly while lying on the ground.

Her head couldn't be lifted at all, and her long hair hit Hermione's "nickshot" and became as heavy as lead and iron.

Hermione's arm was swollen and dripping with blood, apparently not completely escaped her dark magic.

Harry and Sirius went to check.

Compared with the black magic on her arm, Hermione's more headache is: "How can I make it shut up?"

Sirius lifted up her sleeves, a piece of bone protruded from her wrist, like a misplaced tooth, biting through the flesh, bleeding, and still growing.They knew the spell, Draco had used it on Hermione before, only this time it hit Hermione's wrist.

Sirius stopped it with a spell, "This black magic must be broken."

The screams drew other people in the bar to investigate, and Harry had to cast a Silencing Charm.He is already very familiar with it and can control it within a small range without hindering their normal conversation.

They turned to Parkinson - although Hermione's magic is rare, it is not difficult to deal with, and it can be broken with a spell stop. With the help of her classmates, she has returned to normal and stood up.

"Disable your dark magic," said Harry.

Parkinson laughed bitterly, "Why?"

The atmosphere between the two groups immediately became tense.Although there was an unidentified Sirius, the Slytherins were outnumbered and unafraid.The Dark Lord's ban is just that Harry cannot take the initiative to attack Harry, but it does not mean that he cannot resist when he is attacked.

On the contrary, Harry and Hermione were wary of Sirius' arrest warrant and didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so they could only be on guard cautiously, not daring to attack rashly.

When the scene was about to explode, a light-blond Slytherin walked out of the bar.

"Draco!" Parkinson exclaimed, both surprised and delighted.

Draco glanced at the situation and asked, "What are you doing?"

Behind him, Zabini also came out of the bar, watching the fun by the wall with his pockets in his pocket.

The Slytherins felt displeased when they saw him come up and point the finger at themselves.

"Granger doesn't know good or bad, we have to let her know her weight."

Hearing Theodore's humming, Greengrass explained beforehand, trying to win Draco's trust.

Unfortunately, her efforts failed.Theodore turned his face away in disdain, and sneered into the air: "When you teach the Mudblood, you have to ask for instructions."

"Seal your tongue and lock your throat!" Harry raised his hand directly.Theodore wanted to dodge, but it was a pity that Harry had fought against the best masters - compared with Voldemort, Theodore's speed and consciousness were called giants - the spell hit him in the throat with precision and speed.

"Hmm..." He covered his neck, his face flushed with anger.

"Anyone who dares to say that word again, I will shut his mouth." Harry said disgustedly.

The Slytherins glared at him hostilely, they hadn't had time to react.Now to fight back, there is a suspicion of violating the ban, so he hesitated for a while.

Sirius pleaded a compliment, like "As expected of James' son", took the opportunity to hold Hermione's arm, and took the time to stop the bleeding.

Watching this scene, Draco frowned slightly. He didn't know who he was dissatisfied with, but he said, "Are you injured?"

Hermione rolled her eyes angrily: "As you can see."

"What's your attitude!" Parkinson said angrily.

"Shut up, Pansy." No one expected that it was Draco who refuted her.

Parkinson looked at him aggrievedly: "How dare she treat you like that, Draco!"

Draco didn't answer and asked instead: "You cast the black magic?"

"Draco!"

"answer me."

Parkinson bit his lip, sad and aggrieved.

Both Hermione and Harry felt fresh and a little confused by what they saw.Because the other Slytherins had absolutely no intention of intervening in their conversation, leaving Parkinson alone to confront Draco.

In the end, Parkinson gasped: "... so what?"

"Untie it." Draco said simply.

Parkinson's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hey, Draco, you're partial to... the bitch..." Goyle shrank and persuaded, "Dad said, it's dangerous to do this in school..."

"What's dangerous, I know much better than you." Draco sneered.

Somehow, these words made Theodore's eyes grow angry, and he turned and walked aside, trying to break the tongue spell.

Parkinson stiffened, refusing to give in.Greenglass compromised: "She can go to the school hospital for treatment."

Hermione didn't care at all, but Parkinson glared at him with hatred at this moment, which made her not want to speak at all.Harry didn't agree either.He still wants to ask Hermione something today, and it will be very troublesome to go back to the school hospital at this time.

Draco glanced at Harry and said to Parkinson irritably, "Pansy, come here and break the spell."

Parkinson said angrily, "She's just a lowly Mudblood!"

The Tongue-Sealing Curse struck again, this time stopped by Theodore, who had been prepared.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want, Potter."

Theodore warned coldly, having apparently broken his tongue spell, and the Slytherins didn't look surprised at all.Harry realized that they were indeed not simple, that Theodore had mastered silent spells that hadn't been taught in class, and everyone was used to it.

Theodore and Harry confronted each other, pointing their wands.

"Don't do anything stupid, Nott." Draco came over, and under Theodore's dissatisfied and faintly apprehensive gaze, he slowly lowered his wand and stood in front of Harry by the way, "I think you have misunderstood .to act with Granger, with permission," he said suggestively, making the Slytherins hesitate.

"...and, she promised to teach me the Patronus Charm, didn't she?"

Hermione did make a promise when Hogsmeade exorcised the dementors.She still has no way to open her eyes and tell nonsense, and this matter has not been fulfilled until now, so she can only admit: "...that's right."

Draco turned to the Slytherins: "Any questions?"

Of course there are.

The Slytherins stared at him in silence, without asking.Since he hinted at the adult's knowledge, it's beyond their scope to intervene.

Draco said with satisfaction: "Then break the curse."

Now, the other Slytherins were not on Parkinson's side either.The girl looked at Draco resentfully, but the blond boy didn't change his mind.

"I don't! She deserves it!" Parkinson roared resentfully, turned around and ran into the wind and rain, and disappeared immediately.

"..." No one expected this to be the result.Hermione had lost interest in Slytherin's infighting, and said to Harry and Sirius, "Let's go in."

The two nodded.

When passing by Draco, Harry's eyes met his, and the gray eyes were bright and hazy, which became much more complicated.

Harry smiled at him, kindly.Draco was always like this, when no one expected him, he made inexplicable friendly behaviors; but after others changed his view of him, he kept breaking this expectation.

"We'll always find out, Malfoy, whether you lied or not."

This was the last warning Harry heard from Theodore Nott before he entered.

Voldemort didn't seem to care about Hermione... Would Draco lie for Hermione's sake, Harry thought skeptically?

Sirius sat for a while longer and had to leave early.The weather was getting worse and there was frost in the rain. Hermione wanted to go back to school, but Harry dragged her to a dilapidated hut.

"This is... the time I met the dementor..." Hermione clearly remembered it.

Harry nodded roughly, the cold wind was howling outside, the rain and snow were crackling in the cracks in the wooden walls, the whole hut seemed to be trembling in the wind and rain, and might collapse at any moment.

"Why are we here..." Hermione asked, shivering.Before Sirius left, he helped her shrink the teeth that grew out of black magic, but he obviously didn't study this kind of black magic and couldn't completely eliminate it.

Harry felt sorry, but he didn't want to delay.

"I need your help, Hermione." He said in a deep voice, "Go to the Muggle world to investigate Voldemort's secrets."
