Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Have you found it?" Dumbledore frowned. Hagrid, McGonagall, and Snape stood in front of him, but they all shook their heads. "No matter where she can be found, she just disappeared from the castle." Snape said coldly. "I didn't find the kid in the Forbidden Forest either. Whether it was crossing the lake or other places, I searched everywhere I could." Hagrid waved his hand. "I've also asked other students. The last time Siegel appeared in people's sight that I could confirm was two days ago. She just disappeared suddenly by herself." Mag pursed her lips. .

"Let's go to class as usual first," said Dumbledore. "If this is not an isolated case, there may be other missing persons! Shouldn't we tell the students..." Before McGonagall could finish speaking, Dumbledore stopped her and shook his head.

"No, it's still not certain that she's missing, and it can't cause anxiety and panic among other students during the exam and before the competition..." Dumbledore said calmly. He had confronted Max before, and Zoe didn't She may have disappeared for no reason, so the biggest possibility is that she has started to act independently, and the purpose is to realize the plan.

He felt Snape's eyes cast on him vaguely, Hagrid kept circling anxiously, McGonagall looked much calmer, but his facial expression was very stiff.He told them to pay more attention to the surrounding situation, and report to him directly if any special situation arises, and they left his office one by one.

Snape was the last to leave. Before leaving, he turned around and said, "How much control can you have over this situation?"

"At first I thought it would be half, but now...not even thirty percent." Dumbledore said, "Probably all I can do is pray."

"Siegel is my student." Snape said, clutching somewhere on his arm, "That mark of mine started to ache and get hot again, the conspiracy is all around us, are you sure you don't want to stop the game?"

"Oath has been signed, the warrior cannot withdraw..." Snape stared into Dumbledore's eyes. "But at the same time, you are condoning evil. As long as the situation is not completely out of control, you don't plan to attack that lunatic, right?"

He didn't wait for Dumbledore to reply: "...Call me if you need it. I won't give up looking, unless she has completely studied my lessons..."

Question 1: Briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of Animagus formations

It couldn't be easier to write the correct answer, Hermione had already memorized all these things by heart, and these questions never gave her a hard time.But now she can only stare at the blank answer area of ​​the test paper, unconsciously turning the quill, staring blankly at the ink dots that dripped on the parchment at first, but can't write a word.

After she learned the news last night, she tried to keep calm, appease Luna's uneasy emotions, asked her for details carefully, and finally took her to find Professor McGonagall, and reported Zoe's disappearance, hoping to let the professors Also joined in... This unusual incident immediately attracted the attention of the professors. They immediately found Dumbledore and began to investigate, but they asked the children to stop their own investigation and return to the lounge, because they There is also a final exam.

Hermione knew that what the professors said was very reasonable. The role they could play was limited, and they did not have the authority to go in and out of more places like the professors. Most importantly, they were not enough manpower, even with Harry and Luo Well, it’s just adding to the chaos without a clue. If they are in danger because they go deep into the dangerous area, the professors have to devote their energy to take care of them. No matter what you think, go back to the dormitory to sleep as the professors said, and get enough energy Doing what you should do, not causing trouble to the adults, and finally waiting for their conclusions is the best choice so far.

Hermione did the same thing last night. She told Luna her thoughts and hoped that she would go back to sleep. Even though she knew that Zoe might be in danger, she knew that there was nothing she could do now. "Do what needs to be done first, Luna. We can't just give up like this, but not now, you are too tense, I am worried..."

"We were still talking two days ago, but I didn't notice her strangeness..." Luna closed her eyes and said sadly, "She also came back very late that night, we all fell asleep, if I asked more What happened in a few sentences, will this kind of thing not happen?"

"There is no such thing, it's not your fault." Hermione told her a lot before she was willing to go back to sleep and take the next day's exam. After their appointment, they went to ask the professors for clues. Restart the investigation on your own terms.Hermione apologized to Harry and told him she wouldn't be going to his last match.

"I hope this is just a false alarm." She tossed and turned on the bed, only using these words to comfort herself.Hermione tried to let go of these chaotic thoughts and get a good night's sleep, but those things ignored her wishes at all, and just kept releasing more anxiety and bewilderment, making her uncontrollably come up with many unnecessary thoughts .

When she comforted Luna, she could still maintain her sanity for the time being, because she knew that she could not be messed up now, but in the dead of night, the loudest sound in her ears was the frightened, screaming irritable mood when her roommate's slight breathing sound Then it began to grow like crazy.Even the soft bed seemed to be pricked with needles, and there was no way to relax at all.Don't talk about closing your eyes to sleep, just closing your eyes, those fantasies about Zoe's suffering keep coming out.Come alive like a fact.

In the end Hermione still fell asleep, but it wasn't long before Lavender woke her up with the rustling sound when they got up, and then she was completely unconscious, just washed, ate, and followed Gryffin Many students go to the classroom to take the exam together.She did well in the practical exams, she was already very good, not to mention that during this period of time, she was constantly learning new knowledge and consolidating old knowledge with Harry and the others.Her coming and expulsion spells were also praised by Professor Flitwick.

But when they started the last Transfiguration exam (part of the exam was finished last week), she sat in the exam room, picked up the quill pen and was about to fill in her name, it was like waking up from a dream, and reality approached her again in front of.She could understand every question on the paper and knew the answer to every question, but she couldn't write a single word.

I'm taking an exam now.It is already the third day.This is a serious, serious final exam.She hasn't come back today either.Test scores will affect my overall grade and ranking, and I should give it my all.where is she nowWith whom is it safe?Whether the body is still healthy.What I can do now is to complete the paper in front of me and not let the results of the whole year go to waste. I can do my best. I don’t want to lose to anyone. These emotions have begun to hinder my thinking ok, I should get rid of them...

"Hermione!" After the exam was over, Luna ran to meet them at the appointed place. "I asked Hagrid, Zoe probably hasn't been to the Forbidden Forest, her footprints can't be found in the forest, and the centaur haven't seen similar students within their range, and she probably didn't go to the lake either. I walked by; I also asked Professor McGonagall and some of the fourth-year Ravenclaw students..." She shared the information she got with Luna eloquently.

"How do you know so much!" Luna asked in surprise, "Isn't this what we should ask now?"

"Uh, it's nothing... I just have more time." Hermione twitched the corners of her mouth, still looking in disbelief at her decision, "I didn't take the exam, so I handed in a blank paper and ran away from the exam room."

The formerly empty and open Quidditch field now has a square hedge twenty feet high, covering the labyrinth that has been built inside, leaving only a gap of one person's width at a certain corner, as a place for the warriors to enter the third round. Entrance to the game.

Harry swallowed, he stood in front of the entrance with the other three warriors, his spirits were still high, and he glanced over to the auditorium from time to time, not only his godfather Sirius, but even the Weasleys People, as relatives, come to cheer for him.When he was called into the hall, he did not expect so many people to laugh and pray for him.

He wanted to win, to make those people proud of him.When he was very young, he was abused by the Dursleys, locked in a small, dark storage room, fed poor and small amounts of food, and had to endure their treatment of his cousin Dudley and his relatives. He thought of his parents occasionally, and when he watched his uncle and aunt pamper Dudley unprincipled, he thought more.

But now he can wave to the audience, and several hands will wave to him, as well as those expectant, warm eyes.

"Are you confident, Harry?" Bagman patted him on the shoulder. For some reason, this man has always paid him a higher attention than other players. Harry could feel that Bagman especially wanted him to win. It even looked a little suspicious.

He didn't say much, but Fudge, who was beside him, shook Harry's hand.Since Crouch entered St. Mungo's, they disqualified Percy Weasley as an acting referee and replaced him with Minister of Magic Fudge himself.

Bagman soon began to read the rules in public, and the trophy was at the end, and those who passed through the maze and difficulties would be able to win the final victory.With apprehension and expectation, a loud whistle sounded in Harry's ear.
