Until Alberta left Black's old house, neither Harry nor Ron could guess the reason why Hermione slept with Alberta.It's a sad story indeed.

At this time, there is still a month before the start of school.The book list has been sent to every little wizard, and Alberta has also made an appointment with Draco and the others to go to Diagon Alley together on August 8st to buy books and necessities for the next semester.

When this day came, after Alberta said goodbye to Elvis and Queen Lin, she used Apparition to come to Diagon Alley.

Without keeping Alberta waiting long, Pansy, Draco, and Blaise arrived.

"Oh, have you read the books this time? I think we'll have another boring Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Brace said boredly.

Pan Xi nodded in agreement: "Look, what books are written on the book list! Theory, theory, theory! We are going to participate in OWLs this year. Ah! How can the theory be enough!"

Draco glanced at them sleepily, and said, "Don't you know who this professor is?"

"Who?"

"Who?" Pansy and Blaise asked in unison.

"Dolores Jane Umbridge, a disgusting old woman." After finishing speaking, Draco added, "Arrangements by the Ministry of Magic."

"What the hell are those people thinking?" Pansy frowned, and really didn't want such a crucial year to be ruined.

But Blaise thought further: "Is it caused by the news of the mysterious person's resurrection last school year? I heard that even after reading Alberta's memory, Fudge still pretended that nothing happened and everything was peaceful."

"He's trying to die." Alberta said with a sigh, but didn't continue the topic afterwards.

The other three did not continue the discussion.

Compared with the past, there are fewer people in Diagon Alley at this moment.There is no way, it was just reported two days ago that Pedilu, who was previously imprisoned in Azkaban, escaped from prison!

Azkaban has always been a terrifying place in the minds of wizards, guarded by dementors who can absorb people's happy emotions, and it is also on an isolated island in the North Sea.In addition to Black's escape from prison before, Pedilu's Animagus also knows that he is a mouse.The fact that Pediru would escape from prison was a blatant slap in the face of the Ministry of Magic.

"I've seen it... Fudge's face has been swollen and swollen." Draco said after looking at Diagon Alley, which was obviously less crowded.

Blaise put his elbow on Draco's shoulder, and pointed out: "No, no, dear dragon, you have forgotten one fact, that is - Fudge doesn't have such an advanced thing as a face."

Draco was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Indeed, to say that he has face is to think highly of him."

"It's because he's shameless and shameless, that's why he did the deceitful thing." Pan Xi lifted his chin and said.

Seeing that their topics were getting more and more biased, Alberta had no choice but to stop them: "Okay, let's go buy books according to the book list."

As soon as Alberta spoke, the three immediately silenced and headed towards Lihen Bookstore.

After asking the clerk for the book, they each paid the money, and they went to Madam Mojin's robe store to order several sets of robes.There was no other way, after only two months, Blaise and Draco had obviously jumped up twice.Blaise was already quite tall, but now he seems to be the tallest of the four. With a height of nearly 1.8 meters, he is very eye-catching in the crowd.And Draco had grown by more than three inches, surpassing Alberta.

Alberta secretly looked at the heights of Blaise and Draco, secretly envious and jealous in her heart.No way, she is now 1.6 meters seven, this height is not very tall among European women, but!Draco is also 1.7 meters, not to mention Blaise!

Both Blaise and Draco, who were standing on the stool and accepting the teasing of the tape measure, felt a chill behind their backs, and their hairs stood on end, as if something was staring at them.The two looked at each other with a look of panic in their eyes, which made their hearts a little more timid.They each decided that they must wear more protective items when they go back, so that no accidents will happen!

After measuring the size, we agreed with Mrs. Mojin when to get the robe, and the four of them went to the cold drink shop for a sit down.

Sitting at a table by the window in the cold drink shop, the four ordered cold drinks each and sat down to chat.

"Speaking of which, I was taken aback by Harry." Alberta sighed when talking about what he did during the holiday.

Pansy, always led by Alberta, immediately set up her sharp radar, beeping for detection. "Did something strange happen?" She asked seemingly inadvertently.

"Well, it's a bit strange." Alberta frowned, and although she let go quickly, she could still see her worry, "I didn't expect that Harry has never paid homage to him so far. His parents. It's really hard for me to imagine."

Draco thought for a while, and said, "The Potters are in Godric's Hollow, and it's not too difficult to get there."

"Even if he didn't know it before, he has been in the magic world for so long, several years, and he hasn't been there?" Pansy felt unbelievable.

Even Blaise, who changed his stepfather frequently, couldn't say anything against him at this time: "He just needs to inquire a little bit, and let his Weasley friend lead the way, and he can go there by himself. Even if he is afraid of accidents, Isn't there Dumbledore?"

Pan Xi was even more disdainful now: "His parents died for him, and he never went to worship his parents once. The so-called savior is nothing more than that."

"Pansy!" Alberta called Pansy. Although Pansy felt that what she said was not wrong at all, Potter was Alberta's friend after all, so she had no choice but to bow her head and eat. cold drink.

On the contrary, Draco said with some disapproval: "Alberta, although Potter is the savior, I think what Pansy said is right. Even if Potter misses his parents again, listening to others talk about his parents' past , it’s not as meaningful as going to the place where his parents died. What’s more, he already has a godfather now, wouldn’t Black remind him?”

Speaking of the godfather, Draco was full of dissatisfaction.In fact, he would have had a godfather, that is, his dean, Professor Snape, but the situation was very tense when he was born, and the mysterious person often called the Death Eaters over. Do not reduce the number of times you go home.The godfather who was originally settled has turned into a bubble.

Fortunately, that Potter showed off his godfather in front of him over and over again.Hmph, what's so great about it?Just a black dog!Godfather Dog, thank goodness he was so happy.He Draco is... but he almost has the godfather of the youngest potions master in history!

——Almost, and already, there is a very big difference.

The topic that Alberta said brought the atmosphere to a standstill for a while.Fortunately, Bryce quickly found another topic. They pretended not to hear what they just said, and skipped it. Only then did the atmosphere return to normal.

After chatting for a while, the four went to Mrs. Mojin's place to get their robes, and then reluctantly went home.

After that, the holidays flew by.Soon, the school day will come.

After sitting at the Slytherin long table, both Alberta and Draco felt a sense of trance and a sense of time stagnation at the same time.

But when they saw the new first graders stumbling into the auditorium and stumbling towards the sorting hat, they felt that time flew by again.

The only thing that surprised them—if that was the word—was that the Sorting Hat had finally made up a song that made sense, even though no one thought the song he sang every year was useful.

Only Alberta was in the thinking stage after listening.In the past few years, she always thought that the sorting hat was just a crazy guy. In order to attract some attention before sorting, she sang some meaningless songs every year.But after going to the principal's office several times, she gradually overturned her narrow view.On the contrary, she thinks the sorting hat is a very thoughtful item. Should it be said that it is indeed a hat made by Gryffindor, one of the Big Four?

This time, the lyrics sung by the Sorting Hat caught her attention, and it could even be said that she paid attention to it.Longer lyrics than ever before, about the original intention and differences of the Big Four in establishing Hogwarts.But what attracted Alberta's attention the most was the last few lines of the lyrics - "The lessons of history have warned us that our Hogwarts is facing danger, and the enemies outside are staring at us. We must be closely united internally, Otherwise everything will fall apart from within. I have spoken to you, I have sounded the alarm for you..."

...I am afraid that the time of war is not too far away.

Thinking about it this way, Alberta decided to increase the amount of training when training Draco, and at the same time bring in Pansy and Blaise to exercise together and not be absent.As for Neil, as long as she and Lafia reveal something, Lafia will naturally pull Neil to exercise and exercise again.Don't underestimate the power of Ravenclaw!

So, when Alberta and the others returned to the common room, after the crowd dispersed, she announced the news.

"Wait! Did something happen?" Blaise naturally sensed Alberta's intentions.But he didn't think that with Pedillo's status and strength, Alberta would pay so much attention.

"...war." In the end, Alberta couldn't stop the three of them from wanting to know, so Alberta had no choice but to spit out the word.

And as soon as this word came out, they also knew Alberta's concerns and vision.

"...how much time?" Pansy asked.

Alberta frowned, and said: "I'm not sure, but I think it won't be more than a year at the latest, and the war will definitely break out. It's just time and scope."

"Alberta, are you... on Dumbledore's side?" This time it was Blaise who asked.This question is also what they want to know the most.

Alberta glanced at them: "I don't stand on either side. I just hope that the magic world will restore peace as soon as possible. However, the mysterious man has no chance of winning this time, unless Dumbledore dies of old age, otherwise there will be no accidents. Dumbledore's side won."

"At that time...the situation in Slytherin will be more tense, right?" Draco asked with some concern.

Alberta gave him a surprised look, she didn't expect that Draco would think of this.She nodded: "If you don't make any effort, Slytherin will indeed face such a situation. There is no way, many Death Eaters are Slytherin, and the mysterious man himself is also Slytherin. Others think that Slytherin is Concentration camps for the bad guys, there’s no way around that.”

"So, you have a good relationship with Potter, and you have a deal with Dumbledore, for..."

Alberta stretched out her index finger, shushed her lips, and said softly, "Don't say it. Although I do really want to be friends with Harry." However, with a little purpose, it is also an undeniable fact.
