A magical journey that begins in Azkaban

Chapter 175 Tangled Hermione

"What do you mean?" Dumbledore stared at him with a smile.

"In addition to examining the reasons for the magic failure, Slytherin needs to be completely rebuilt."

"reconstruction?"

"Yes! Slytherin was built thousands of years ago, and Salazar may have built other secret rooms. If there is another heir, it will endanger everyone's safety."

Dumbledore couldn't help but be stunned. He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought of this. Roger, he always brings surprises to himself.

"Rebuilding is not a trivial matter and will require significant funding. I'm worried the school board won't agree."

"Funds?" Rogge smiled, "Principal, if my mother can be included on the school board, the Travis family can inject funds into the construction of the school. You see, this will be of great help to the reconstruction and the school."

Harry was stunned. He originally thought that Rogge wanted the principal to punish him severely. Unexpectedly, the real purpose is to rebuild Slytherin House.

"This is not easy." Dumbledore shook his head. "The 12 school board seats are fixed and have not changed for many years."

“Can’t we increase the number to 13 directors?”

"13? That's an unknown number. If 13 people attend at the same time, it might lead to misfortune." Dumbledore declined politely.

"Okay, what if someone is willing to quit?" Rogge pointed out, hoping that Malfoy would not keep his mouth shut and leak something to Harry.

"Withdraw?" Dumbledore pondered for a moment, "This requires the joint decision of other school directors."

"Roger, I'm just the principal of Hogwarts. Lucius is more familiar with the composition of the school directors than I am. Besides, what do you want to rebuild Slytherin into?"

"Of course it's the tower." Rogge complained to Dumbledore, "You don't know, Slytherin's dormitory is cold and dark. The outside is full of water, just like a prison cell, and you can often see a big octopus with its claws snarling. .I feel uncomfortable after staying in there for a long time.”

Dumbledore thought about it carefully and then said: "I understand what you think, but generally speaking, the environment of the college should be consistent with the characteristics and values ​​of each college."

"For example, Ravenclaw, they are eagles who seek knowledge and live at the highest point of the tower. Hufflepuff, they are low-key honey badgers, living in half a cave..."

"You are biased." Rogge shook his head, disagreeing with Dumbledore's view.

He pointed at Harry Potter, "The Gryffindor lions have never seen a tent set up on the grassland. Why should we live underground without seeing the light of day?"

"Uh...hahaha." Dumbledore laughed so hard that his beard trembled, but Rogge was right.

Gryffindor lives upstairs and is completely different from the grassland. The reason why the four colleges are planned like this is because of the original founder's decision.

"Okay, if the school directors agree and provide funds, I can approve the reconstruction plan." Dumbledore nodded, looking forward to the new directors joining.

"It's settled!" Rogge was confident. In order to give himself a comfortable environment to live in, even if Harry didn't report Lucius, he would report it.

When Roger left the office, Dumbledore turned his attention to Harry.

"Harry, there's going to be an important trial at the International Federation at Easter."

"Judgment?" Harry raised his head, unable to believe that the headmaster didn't blame him.

"This is very important to you, to Ron, and to the entire magical world!"

"Professor, is this trial related to Ron's coma?" Harry asked nervously.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, "You secretly went to Slytherin just to find out the reason for Ron's coma?"

Harry hummed and whispered: "I'm sorry, Professor. I didn't expect them to cancel the banishing spell. I thought it was the effect of Polyjuice Potion..."

"The truth is not what you think. Snape or Roger, they did not do such a thing." Dumbledore explained, "On Halloween, I led the professor to search the Chamber of Secrets.

This caused Slytherin's Banishing Charm to be temporarily deactivated. Later, I kept forgetting to turn it back on. "

Dumbledore's eyes flashed, and he comforted Harry: "Don't be so frustrated. I often violated school rules when I was your age."

"Really!" Harry and Sister Patil looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

"Of course it's true. Because of me, the headmaster at the time deducted many points from Gryffindor."

"and after?"

"Later, we performed a great feat. At the end of the school year, we won the House Cup for Gryffindor." Dumbledore smiled and encouraged him, "We all grow through mistakes."

Harry was encouraged by Dumbledore's own experience. Maybe mistakes, no matter how bad they are, can be opportunities for growth. Courage and hope can be found even in the most difficult moments.

"Thank you, Professor." Harry looked at him gratefully, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

"Take it." Dumbledore took out the invisibility cloak, and Harry took it in shock.

"Why are you here? I remember it's in the drawer of my dormitory!"

"Ron used it to go to the Forbidden Forest that night when he was unconscious. He picked it up when he passed out." Dumbledore reminded, "This is what your father left for you. You must keep it."

Harry nodded while holding the invisibility cloak, and couldn't help but ask Ron how he became so rich and why he went to the Forbidden Forest.

Dumbledore took out lemon snow candies, and everyone ate them while listening to the principal's story about what happened. They also heard stories about Dumbledore's school days.

"We were going to the Forbidden Forest to look for some rare magical plants. Unfortunately..."

In Dumbledore's gentle voice, the three of them gradually calmed down. Harry thought of the adventures he had with Ron, and the lemon sorbet melted in his mouth with a sweet taste.

Without Riddle's diary and the famous actor Lockhart, Rogge lived a peaceful campus life again.

After cleaning the owl loft, besides attending classes, he continued to study the blood curse.

Rogge sat at the table, thinking about how to catch the blood curse and how to extract the curse. While he was discussing with Nagini, there was a rush of footsteps.

"Roger, the unicorn pendant really works!" Daphne rushed into the bedroom and grabbed him with excitement on her face.

“I haven’t had any burning blood symptoms since I put it on over Christmas.”

"Really?" Rogge stood up and held the warm pendant. It can indeed suppress the curse!

Marcus was walking down the corridor and happened to pass by. Seeing that the door was open, he couldn't help but stop and take a peek.

"Ahem..." He coughed slightly, trying to attract their attention.

"What's wrong?" Daphne looked at Marcus in confusion, feeling that this guy was weird.

Marcus shook his head and walked away quickly. Really, how come girls can go to the boys dormitory, but not the other way around!

"How is your sister?"

Daphne was a little worried: "Astoria's symptoms have also eased a lot. Do you still have extra horns there?"

Daphne's eyes were mixed with expectation and embarrassment. She knew that the unicorn horn was precious, but it was too important to her sister!

"I can exchange things for you at home." Daphne said and took out a lot of magic items and even some cultural relics.

She took out a scepter inlaid with a large egg gemstone, and then took out a golden crown wrapped with a snake-shaped pattern...

"Do we still need to talk about this?" Rogge lightly tapped Daphne's forehead and asked her to take the treasure back.

Daphne looked at him gratefully and nodded shyly. Roger turned around and opened the bookcase and took out the remaining corners.

"Except for some used to make pendants for you, the rest are here. You can ask Ollivander to use them to make a wand for your sister."

"It would be too extravagant to make a whole wand out of such rare materials..." Daphne's eyes widened in surprise.

"I just mentioned casually, after all, I haven't heard of using horns as wands." Rogge patted the unicorn horn in Daphne's hand, "I leave it to you anyway, you can use it however you want."

"Roger, you are so good to me. How should I repay you?" Daphne looked at him excitedly.

"We are friends, there is no need for this." Rogge smiled and shook his head.

"No!" Daphne said, grabbing Roger's collar and pulling his head down hard.

"Huh?" Before Rogge could react, she kissed him.

Daphne felt that Roger's lips were very warm. When she kissed him, an electric current ran through her body, and her mind went blank.

It took a few seconds for Daphne to recover from her recklessness.

She quickly loosened her collar and stammered: "I...I didn't mean it!"

After saying that, he ran out as if running away.

"If I'm not handsome enough, will she say I'm a good person?" Rogge laughed, looking like he was getting an advantage but still being obedient.

This is the same as the favor of saving a life. Those who are handsome are promised with their bodies, and those who are sorry will be dealt with in the next life. Good guy cards are available at any time.

"It's a pity that I can't receive it in this life." Rogge touched his face and couldn't help but hum. Nagini spit out the snake core and looked at her master with disdain.

The careless Daphne quickly forgot about this matter. She now had more important things to worry about. In addition to her, other second-grade students are also worried. Everyone took the class schedule and discussed which elective courses to take.

In addition to the 7 compulsory courses in the third academic year, the school also offers 5 additional elective courses for everyone to choose from. Before and after Easter, everyone must register for the courses they have chosen.

"Oh my God, Hermione! Why did you choose them all?" Daphne held Hermione's course selection list and couldn't believe her eyes. She looked again and made sure Miss Granger was studying five more subjects.

"I have thought about it and thought that they are all important and must be learned!" Hermione explained. "Although the ancient magic text class is of no practical use, it can help you understand ancient magical knowledge. Arithmetic and divination classes are standard abilities for wizards. .After learning it, I can use a crystal ball to divine others.

There are also Care of Magical Creatures classes where you can learn about various creatures in the magical world. Such as velvet velvet, evil bird... I also want to buy a pet before the third grade starts. How about a cat?

There's also Muggle Studies, which is perfect for me. Daphne, my parents are both Muggles, so this class will definitely be easy for me! "

Hermione's eyes were full of excitement, and she couldn't wait to go to the library to borrow books and preview. Rogge scratched his head. Sure enough, the world of the God of Learning is different from ours.

"But if you choose all of them, there will be twelve courses. Those are twelve courses, and you will be busy from morning to night.

You see here, Potions class and Divination class are in conflict. What happens if you miss Snape's Potions class..." Daphne gestured with her hands on her neck, tilted her head and stuck out her tongue, pretending to be dead.

"What's more, what about the exam? You have to read so many books every day, do you still have time to participate in club activities?" Daphne was worried for her.

"I have already thought of a countermeasure." Hermione lowered her head and said mysteriously, "Professor McGonagall told me that some students had elected all students before. At that time, the college provided necessary help to ensure that he did not miss any class."

"Really?" Daphne picked up her course selection list, how about gritting her teeth and choosing another one?

She was hesitant. Choosing a course required a lot of preparation. Preview, class, homework. You have to prepare well before the exam. If you fail the exam, you will have to retake it. Every time you apply for one more subject, you have to sacrifice a lot of time.

"With so many choices, can you eat it?" Daphne asked her worriedly.

"I'm confident!" Hermione said decisively, "I've thought about it very clearly. All twelve courses are important to me.

I can definitely learn them all by adjusting my schedule and sleeping only 6 hours a day! "

"What? Sleep 6 hours a day?" Daphne shouted and touched Hermione's forehead.

Hermione looked at her in confusion. She was in good condition, but she didn't have a cold!

"Hermione, let's stand up and compete."

"Stand up?" Hermione was confused and even looked at Roger in confusion.

Daphne pulled her to stand up straight, gesturing their height with her hands.

"Look, if you don't get a good rest every day, you will be shorter than me. If you sleep 6 hours a day, you will definitely not grow taller." Daphne was a little scared and advised her not to do this.

"Really?" Hermione couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She thought for a while, "We are wizards and can use height-increasing potions to make up for it. So, don't worry about lack of sleep."

"Hey, only you who love learning so much would choose them all." Daphne shook her head helplessly, "But if you really pass all twelve courses, it will be an amazing feat!"

Daphne couldn't help but feel proud and admired of Hermione's determination. I must also learn from Hermione, and at least get good grades in the classes I choose.

"Then what class did you choose?" Hermione asked Daphne and Roger curiously.

Daphne handed her the course selection list, "I haven't made a final decision yet. But I definitely won't choose magic writing and arithmetic divination. They are too difficult. They either require memorizing a lot of things or calculating numbers.

There are so many twists and turns that I can't figure out, and I will definitely mess up if I choose them. "

"I only picked two."

"What, you only chose two?" Daphne was completely shocked, as if she was even more shocked than hearing Hermione choose them all.

They originally thought that Roger would choose at least 4 doors, or even choose them all like Hermione. Unexpectedly, Rogge only chose two doors.

Rogge showed them the courses he chose, "I chose Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures. Professor Aurora once told me that I have no talent in divination."

"Talent?" The two looked at him in confusion, "Don't Professor Aurora teach astronomy? How come he knows divination?"

"The stars themselves are a kind of divination. As an astronomy teacher, Professor Aurora is certainly proficient in this. In fact, the most outstanding astrologers are not wizards, but centaurs."

"Centaurs? I remember seeing them last year." Hermione interjected, "But I asked, the third grade divination class only teaches crystal ball and trace divination."

"Of course." Rogge nodded, "Real divination is to be able to predict the future and make accurate predictions. I heard that only wizards with Third Eyes can do it, and Professor Trelawney has such a talent. "

Hermione pouted, having a bad premonition about the Divination class: "I have seen this word in books, but no one could tell what it was. I always thought it was fake."

"The Third Eye is like magic. It is a talent that a few people are born with." Rogge suddenly thought of Grindelwald. He had done many great things with this ability.

If he wanted to go to Nurmengard to meet this legendary wizard, I wonder if he could foresee it.

"Hermione, do you have a third eye?" Daphne pulled Hermione and stared at her eyes and forehead, as if trying to find the third eye.

"Don't always believe in him, he might be lying to us!" Hermione held the course selection list in her hand, "I don't believe that learning divination requires some kind of clairvoyance. Since it is only a talent of a few people, so many wizards could do it in the past, so I can't Can!"

"What about Muggle Studies?" Hermione asked, "My dad said you have studied the Muggle world very deeply and you can also sing Muggle songs."

"No, you sang really well!" Rogge said proudly. He cleared his throat and sang a few lines with them.

Daphne, who had never heard a Muggle song before, had stars in her eyes and applauded Roger's singing.

"No one in the magical world understands Muggles better than me!" Rogge patted his chest. This was really not a boast.

Even a wizard who comes from a Muggle family has left the Muggle world after enrolling in school, so he does not know anything comprehensive and clear about it. The children of the wizarding family don't understand even more.

As for the Ministry of Magic's Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles, they are even worse. For example, former employee Arthur didn't even recognize a power plug. Just like that, he dared to lick his face and say he was familiar with Muggles.

"I didn't choose courses just to get points." Rogge shook his head. "I still have experiments to do, so I won't take unnecessary courses. I only choose two electives, which just meet the requirements for the third grade."

After hearing this, Hermione re-examined her course selection list and added the seven required courses, which meant that starting from September, she would have twelve courses to take. Considering that most of the students around her had chosen two or three elective courses, she felt a little hesitant.

"But if you don't choose, you won't be able to get twelve certificates in the OWLs exam. Percy, the prefect of our college, got all the exams last year." Hermione was a little unconvinced.

Rogge couldn't laugh or cry. Those who received twelve certificates in the history of the school were all children in need of psychological care. For example, Riddle who is awaiting trial, Barty Jr. who fakes his death, and Bill and Percy of the Weasley family.

They have not had a family since they were young, or their families cannot give them much love, so they have to produce dazzling results to attract everyone's attention.

To be honest, twelve certificates are useless. Bill Weasley passed it and proved that he is a very good leek. He worked all day long for the goblins of Gringotts in Egypt, and the money he earned from working for so many years was not as much as what Ron had gotten through Riddle's poaching.

"Hermione, you have to have confidence. How will you know if you can do it if you don't try?" Roger encouraged her.
