Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Four people, a total of 120 points, which is enough to make Gryffindor's hourglass drop a lot. You know, it is not a long time before the start of school, but in such a short period of time, Gryffindor's hourglass has dropped a lot.

Llanffindor almost ruined all hopes of winning the Academy Cup.

The news slowly spread: Harry Potter, the famous Harry Potter, he was the one who caused Gryffindor to lose so many points, and he and three other stupid first-year students.

Harry was originally the most famous person in the school, but everyone finally realized that he was no big deal, and even worse, and he became a target of public criticism. He would be pointed out no matter where he went.

Dean McGonagall also knew about this. She was furious in the Transfiguration class, not at Toby, but at Harry and several others. According to her words: if it were her, she would at least

Fifty points will be deducted, fifty points for each person.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, no one liked Harry anymore, and no one stared at his forehead curiously. Harry would lower his head wherever he went. Ron did not comfort him, and he himself also let

He was one of the main culprits for losing points in the college, and what happened to Hermione made his mood extremely complicated.

Harry and Ron came to the auditorium. Malfoy taunted loudly as he passed by them: "Isn't this the famous Harry Potter? He actually has the nerve to continue to stay in school——"

His plan succeeded, but he hit the muzzle of the gun.

"How could there be such a shameless guy like you!"

Harry shouted angrily: "I saved you during the flying lesson - how could there be such a shameless person like you? You are so bad. You will not end well!"

Ron also scolded: "You are the most shameless person. You have no shame at all. You dare to fool your savior, and you have become a coward who ran away without a fight!"

Malfoy's face turned blue and white. He had already known what happened during the flying lesson, but that was what Malfoy could not tolerate the most - being saved by Harry Potter.

"Just wait for me!"

Malfoy dropped his last harsh words, and even the sarcastic mood disappeared.

The mood of the two of them did not improve after scolding Malfoy. Even when they saw the envelope on the slender package, they couldn't laugh. Even if they did, it was just a forced smile.

[Don't open the package on the table. It contains your new broomstick Nimbus 2000. I don't want everyone to know that you have a new broomstick, lest they all want it. Oliver Wood will be waiting for you at the Quidditch pitch at seven o'clock tonight.

, give you your first training class.]

【Professor M. McGonagall】

"Nimbus 2000..."

Ron and Harry looked at each other. They both thought Harry would be disqualified from joining the Quidditch team.

"I'm going to take the broom back," Harry said. "I'm not going to join the Quidditch team."

When team captain Wood heard these words, he was shocked: "This is your chance to turn around. Don't do this, and don't think about the points deduction. How can you refuse?"

He comforted Harry for a while, but Harry could see that the smile on his face was forced.

"But I still can't attend the training class tonight." Harry said frustratedly: "We are going to Professor Hemmer's place for solitary confinement."

"I wish you good luck." Wood said, his words seemed much more sincere. Everyone knew that Professor Highmore was the most difficult professor to mess with, and he was completely different from the other new professor Quirrell.

They unpacked the broom in the dormitory. Even though he didn't know anything about the type of broomstick, Harry could see what a great broom it was. It had beautiful lines and luster, and the handle was made of mahogany.

, the long tail is made of neat, straight branches, and the words "Nimbus 2000" are printed brightly on the top of the broom handle.

Ron just exclaimed and remained silent. He looked at Harry hesitantly, and Harry happened to be looking at him too.

The two of them still have the most important thing left to do.

"When are you going to apologize to Hermione?"

"Waiting for you to make a decision."

On the way back to the dormitory that night after they were caught, they apologized to Neville separately. In order to prevent him from crying too hard and not hearing clearly, the two of them even apologized again early the next morning. Anyway.

Said that although Neville took the initiative to follow them, he was still involved by the two of them. Neither of them cared about this trivial matter. When they saw Neville crying so hard, they couldn't help but

Some guilt.

The most important thing is Hermione.

She no longer talks to Harry and Ron. She has completely changed since that night. She is even more lonely than before. And now she is trying her best to answer questions in class, as if she is planning to

All points deducted will be regained.

This left Harry and Ron never finding a good opportunity to apologize.

"I don't understand why she wants to speak for us." Ron said, "She doesn't have to do this."

"I seem to understand." Harry said: "I thought at first that I would be expelled directly. Hermione must have thought the same. She felt that she could no longer stay in Hogwarts, so she

Just do us a favor."

"And do you still remember? Before that night, Hermione waited until midnight alone. If she really didn't want us to lose points, she could have asked the professors to report us in advance. Maybe she is not as bad as we thought.

, it’s not that bad…”

Ron sighed: "You are better than Percy at ruining other people's moods. Fortunately, I had eaten dinner, otherwise I wouldn't even have the strength to be detained."

Nimbus 2000 had long been forgotten by them, and Ron was not in the mood to discuss Quidditch at this time. After discussing it for a while, he and Harry walked to the common room, but unfortunately Hermione was not there.

"Maybe in the library." Harry said, "Or maybe I went to Professor Hemmer's office in advance."

After Neville also came back, the three of them set off. Their hearts were heavy, not knowing what would be waiting for them soon.

"Are you okay, Neville?" Ron asked concerned.

Neville's eyes were swollen from crying, and he stammered: "No...it's not good."

He never dared to go to Professor Heimer alone. He was worried about his parents more than anything else, and he was still afraid that Professor Heimo would take away the crystal ball.

They walked to the door of the Ancient Magic Office. Harry took a deep breath and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

The door opened, but the person who opened the door was not Professor Heimer, but someone whom Harry could never have imagined——

Snape.
