Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

"No, no, it's nothing!" Hermione hurriedly denied, but the words she spoke were like water being thrown out, and it was too late.

"First of all, you just said it yourself, saying that you have to help Professor Horace Slughorn refine the magic stone, prepare for the n.e.w.ts exam, and prepare for the general magic university entrance exam!" Ginny said nothing.

Reveal it mercilessly.

"..." Hermione was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Even Harry didn't know what to say.

"That... Ginny... Neville... um... and... um... Luna...

...." Hermione said sheepishly, "Can...can you please keep it a secret? Don't tell others about Horace Slughorn's refining of the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Of course!" Neville agreed first, "This matter must be very important. Don't worry, we will keep it secret."

Ginny nodded too.

Luna raised her hand and made a zipper motion near her mouth to show that she was absolutely tight-lipped.

"Thank you, thank you!" Hermione blushed and said thanks, "I... I promised Tiera before that I would never tell anyone else about this."

"Okay, now you put this heavy burden on us." Ginny said half-jokingly.

Hermione smiled awkwardly and expressed her gratitude again.

"But seriously, Hermione." Harry suggested. Now that the words had been spoken, there was no need to hide them. "I really suggest that you give up helping Tiera and Slughorn."

Teach the work of refining the magic stone."

"But I have already agreed, and I have also helped Professor Slughorn calculate a lot of data, sharing a lot of their pressure." Hermione said.

"With all due respect Hermione, you don't have to do this job. There are many people who can take over it, such as Tiera, Tiera, Tiera and Tiera!" Ron seemed to relax a little.

, also began to participate in their conversation, "Anyway, there are several Tieras, and they must be smarter and better than you. This job takes up too much of your time and energy."

"Well...yes, Ron is right." Harry agreed.

"Well..." Hermione suppressed her blush and looked a little bit shocked, "But...but...but such a rare opportunity...in the future

It is possible that we will never have it again...I mean the opportunity to refine magic stones with a master of potions and an alchemy genius and receive their guidance..."

"Maybe that one." Ron choked again, "Something like the magic stone can turn stone into gold and brew the elixir of life. No one can have too much. Tiera wants to compensate for this one."

As for the one from Nicolème, maybe Horace himself will refine another one in the future. When the time comes, you take the initiative to come to your door and say that you want to help Horace refine a magic stone. What? He can still do it.

Isn’t it okay to refuse such a useful helper that comes to your door for no purpose?”

"But...but...but..." Hermione gritted her teeth and said seriously.

She knew what Ron said was true, but she still felt angry after hearing Ron say it in such a tone.

"Mom always teaches us to understand what is important and what is not important." Ron moved out Mrs. Weasley and said, "We should pay attention to important things first, rather than paying attention to unimportant things. Obviously, Hermione

The most important thing for you is the n.e.w.ts exam and the subsequent general magic university entrance exam."

"You still have to rest." Ron added, "Let's take a good look at the dark circles under your eyes."

"Well..." Hermione replied reluctantly, "Okay...Okay, then, then I will go find Tiera after Christmas...with him

Said that I want to launch the magic stone refining project first, and plan to concentrate on preparing for the n.e.w.ts and the general magic university entrance exam."

"There's still rest," Ron said.

"Well, I still need to rest." Hermione nodded and replied, "I've really been too tired recently."

"Dong dong dong——"

Just when they were about to talk about other lighter topics.

There was a sudden knock on the glass window of their box, and everyone turned their heads and looked outside.

A stocky, beautiful girl with curly brown hair stood outside the window, breathing into the transparent glass window.

After a piece of mist as big as her face came out, Lavender Brown began to write words and patterns on the mist one by one——

r love l

Then a big heart is wrapped on the outside of the word.

"Love you, little Ronnie." Lavender said with a smile on her face, and then ran away shyly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the train compartment was extremely awkward.

"Lovely." Luna Lovegood said lightly, then quickly lowered her head and looked at the magazine in her hand.

"She is absolutely crazy!" Ron seemed to have suppressed it for a long time and finally burst out. "She keeps pestering me to kiss me every day, and my lips are almost worn out. Harry, look at it."

"I, I believe you!" Harry hurriedly ducked back, then pushed Ron away calmly.

"Lovely." Luna said lightly again.

The speed of the Hogwarts Express seemed to be much faster. In less than four hours, it arrived at the London train station before dark.

Harry returned to Number 12 Grimmauld Place to spend this Christmas with Sirius, as did Ron, Hermione and Ginny.

Of course, coming to No. 12 Grimmauld Place for Christmas are the Weasley family, who are busy in various places, as well as Lupine and Tonks——

The two are said to be in a relationship now.

Of course, there's also Mad-Eye Moody and other members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Because of Tiera's reforms and innovations and Dumbledore's decentralization to a certain extent, everyone in the Order of the Phoenix was relatively idle except for those members who served in the government.

As the saying goes, drought dies and waterlogging dies. Arthur Weasley, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, George and Fred Weasley are so busy every day that they can't wait to go home to rest in the middle of the night.

, even many times they sleep in the unit.

But looking back at Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt, the two former No. 1 Aurors, now they can only deal with financial disputes and petty theft cases——

After all, all serious criminal cases are handled by Tiera, as well as the house elf Aurors, vampire Aurors, werewolf Aurors and some new Aurors who have just graduated from Hogwarts.

After all, Tiera is building a society under the rule of law in an all-round way and promoting the unity of all intelligent magic races. In order to prevent some cases involving racism from happening, Tiera has stipulated a certain proportion of elves in the recruitment of new Aurors.

Aurors, Vampire Aurors, Werewolf Aurors and Wizard Aurors.

But Tierra will not mess with people randomly. It adheres to the principle of "preferring shortage to excess" and only recruits qualified personnel and eliminates unqualified personnel. As for the manpower vacancies caused by this...

Then let Tiera take the lead.

Anyway, no one would dare to make trouble after seeing Tiera's face.
