Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Hermione turned to look at Harry: "Are you okay?"

Harry shook his head nonchalantly.

But he knew he was in trouble.

They got off the train together in front of the station, then walked into platform nine and three-quarters with their salutes in hand, and got on the train back to Hogwarts.

Along the way, all the members of Dumbledore's Army he met greeted him, which made Harry feel better.

He wondered if the people he came into contact with during the winter vacation were all worried like Lu Ke, so it affected him.

Harry was starting to feel better.

Until he met Malfoy.

Just like every time before, Malfoy came to look for Hermione as soon as he got in the car.

Harry looked at him and couldn't help but want to taunt him.

But Malfoy looked completely different this time.

He just stood at the door of the compartment and glanced at Hermione, then turned and left.

Even though it was just a glance, Harry still felt that he was being underestimated.

Because Malfoy looked gloomy and serious, he almost looked like an adult.

During this winter vacation, every time Harry failed to learn Occlumency, he would think of Draco Malfoy and hope that he had not lost to him.

But now that he saw Malfoy's appearance, Harry felt that he had lost.

His mood suddenly became extremely bad.

Hermione looked at Harry carefully, at a loss.

Harry shook his head helplessly: "Malfoy is also learning Occlumency, and he has probably succeeded."

Ron showed a surprised look: "So what exactly is Occlumency? Is it really that useful?"

Hermione shook her head: "Unless you have a special connection with Voldemort like Harry, or Draco...Malfoy lives in a Death Eater's lair, there is no need to learn Occlumency."

"This spell is very difficult."

Ron nodded: "I understand..."

…

After returning to school, Harry finally felt better: in fact, he didn't want to stay depressed anymore.

Fifth grade is the year of ordinary wizarding exams. Harry, the Weasley family, and Hermione missed the exams last semester because Mr. Weasley was attacked. Now the professors obviously want to make up for it.

Harry then fell into a hurry.

He originally didn't care so much about the Wizarding Level Examination, but Professor McGonagall told him that the Auror recruitment standards included the requirements for ordinary and ultimate Wizarding Level Examination scores.

So Harry had to study hard.

He felt like he was almost turning into Hermione.

In addition, the activities of secretly learning Defense Against the Dark Arts continued, but they faced more troubles.

Umbridge seems to have finally turned Filch against him.

Although Filch hates all Hogwarts students, which is known to everyone, Lu Ke has been working hard to make Filch less dangerous, and he has always had nothing to do with Umbridge. Good impression.

But now, Umbridge didn't know what method she used to get Filch to start doing things for her.

So every time I secretly learn Defense Against the Dark Arts, it becomes dangerous.

Everyone was surprised to find that the night watchman of Hogwarts turned out to be so difficult to deal with when he got serious.

Hermione had to change her class time again and again, and Harry had to participate in Quidditch matches and learn Occlumency, and he was even more divided.

During the first class, Harry saw Malfoy and didn't know what was going on.

But what Snape did next took Harry by surprise.

Because he said that Malfoy had completely mastered Occlumency and there was nothing left to teach him.

Harry was hit hard.

After that, he felt that the possibility of him learning Occlumency became much smaller.

…

Sunday of the second week after school starts.

This was the time Harry finally chose.

On this day, Harry had no Quidditch training or Occlumency learning, so it was the best time.

So Hermione made an appointment in advance to take Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon.

Although Lu Ke couldn't help at this time: he was taking an alchemy class.

But Filch was also busier during the day: many students were walking around in the corridors, and Filch probably couldn't identify those suspected of violating school rules.

The three of them started from the hall as usual, then walked around the corridor and headed towards their destination.

"I feel like we're fighting Death Eaters now."

Ron complained nonchalantly: "Remember what happened to Lu Ke and the others during the winter vacation? They were mysterious and elusive..."

Hermione nodded: "It means we are slowly becoming able to fight Death Eaters, which is a good thing."

Ron smiled helplessly: "Really?"

Harry remained silent.

He told Hermione in his mind that they were all still far behind, especially Harry himself.

As they turned the corner, Harry saw Mrs. Norris.

That was Filch's cat, a dangerous animal that always looked at everyone with wary eyes.

Harry and the others knew very well that Filch would know everything Mrs. Norris saw, and wherever Mrs. Norris appeared, Filch would soon appear.

Harry looked around quickly.

"let's go!"

The three of them ran towards the end of the corridor.

Although the appearance of Mrs. Norris represented a danger signal, it was the weekend and they had not entered any dangerous area.

Harry felt that Mrs. Lorris would not follow if he left here.

But it was obvious that Harry underestimated Filch.

Mrs. Norris is in hot pursuit.

The only good news was that Filch never showed up.

Hermione suddenly woke up and grabbed Harry: "We are being followed!"

Harry was stunned for a moment: "So we have to escape quickly..."

Hermione shook her head: "We'll take Filch directly there!"

Harry was about to ask where "there" was when he suddenly woke up.

Of course, "there" could only be the secret classroom where they held classes.

"Then what do we do?"

Ron gasped and looked left and right.

Hermione shook her head, then raised her wand: "Here comes the dried fish!"

Under Harry and Ron's stunned gaze, small dried fish really flew from the corner of the corridor, forming long thin lines in the air, and finally fell into Hermione's hands.

She walked carefully in front of Mrs. Lorris, then bent down and placed the dried fish on the ground.

Mrs. Norris came forward hesitantly.

Hermione stood up and backed away slowly, and then finally, Mrs. Norris dropped all her guard and lowered her head to eat.

Hermione quickly turned around and pulled Harry and Ron along.
