harry potter book of crimes

For most fifth- and seventh-grade students, this year's entire Easter holiday is like sitting in a Muggle cinema watching an old movie that is not well received. While lamenting that it is smelly and long, you

But you have to sit in your seat and watch it because you are not willing to waste your ticket money.

After all, holidays are holidays after all, and they will be slightly more relaxed than usual school days. Even if Harry and Ron are two guys who are tortured by Hermione's schedule, at least at night

There is still plenty of time to get a good night's sleep.

But no matter what, people who have something to do always feel that time flies by quickly. When the Easter holiday came to the last day, everyone suddenly looked back and realized that the entire holiday had come to an end.

"Harry——"

The next morning, when everyone was having breakfast in the auditorium and preparing to welcome the last period of the school year with a new look, a voice full of joy suddenly came from the door of the side corridor.

Harry, who was spreading jam on his bread, heard the familiar voice and immediately looked back.

"Oh, Ginny?" He put down the knife and waved to the beautiful figure running this way, "Good morning, you are so happy so early in the morning. What good thing happened to you?"

"Harry, I have good news," she said happily as she ran, not knowing where her ladylike posture had gone, "What great news!"

"Good news?" Harry asked doubtfully, "I think I should congratulate you first...but what kind of good news is it?"

Ginny sat down next to him, looked around first, and then cautiously approached him. Her cautious look made Harry even more curious.

"...Harry, Angelina said that I will make my debut in the upcoming finals!" After she said this, she smiled happily again, "This is really

It’s great! I think I will keep it in my heart for the rest of my life!”

"Oh! Is this true? It's so cool!" Harry immediately clapped his hands and put on an expression of surprise, but in the blink of an eye he said doubtfully, "Then, who did you replace?

Yeah? Why haven’t I heard Angelina mention it?”

"She said this matter should be kept secret," Ginny whispered. "No wonder that besides your official player training, the training for several of our substitute players has not stopped. It turns out that Angelina has been preparing to adjust.

Team. She just said that I am the secret weapon selected from three substitutes!"

"So?" Harry nodded.

"It's Andrew. Angelina thinks he may not be able to cope with the finals because he has been worried about whether he will lose the Quidditch Cup because of his mistakes." Ginny explained quietly, "But no one can

I would never have thought that I would be the team member to replace Andrew!"

When Harry heard this, he shook his head in surprise.

"Yes! Who would have guessed?" He looked at Ginny in astonishment, and then lowered his voice and said, "You would actually become the goalkeeper of the Gryffindor team? Even I was shocked!"

"What surprised you?" Ron, who was munching on sausages across from him, asked vaguely, "What are you talking about?"

When Ginny saw that it was Ron who spoke, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. After she glanced at Ron, she quickly turned her head away, showing an expression that she didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Regarding the farce caused by Lavender and Neville that day, Ginny always felt that it was Ron's problem. Although she didn't like Ron and Lavender being together, when Ron asked Neville to lie to Lavender,

After reading Wende once, she turned around and secretly blamed Ron.

This girl's thoughts are always difficult to guess, and if it were her own sister, it would be even easier for people to understand.

Across the table, Ron looked at Ginny confused. After a while, he swallowed the food in his mouth and glanced at Harry in confusion.

"La-wen-de."

Harry mouthed several words to Ron, and then shrugged helplessly. After Ron understood, he blinked his eyes first, then raised his hand to scratch his scalp, but finally picked up the meal again.

He picked up the last piece of grilled sausage on the dinner plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Okay, I have to admit, that is indeed...well...it's my fault." He said vaguely again, "But even if I were to apologize, the target would be Neville, not Lavender.

…”

When Ron and Ginny had another minor conflict with each other, Hermione was still flipping through her new issue of the Daily Prophet. No matter who Ron would apologize to, it wasn't her.

The issue that concerned her the most right now was an inconspicuous article published in the newspaper.

Yes, Maka's name is in the newspaper again.

Since Voldemort was defeated again, with the passage of time, everyone has stopped making a fuss about the Macadrian newspaper.

Even when it was the most popular, you could read at least two large reports about Maca every day when you opened the newspaper. It covered everything from business to gossip, and the real and fake were mixed together, making people familiar with it.

Maka's little friends wanted to laugh and tear up the newspapers in their hands while watching it.

Until recently, even though the popularity has finally subsided a little, Maca's name is still very common in newspapers.

However, the essence of the short text Hermione was reading at this time was very different from those blind reports that were extremely exaggerated. If I had to choose the biggest difference point to explain, it would be -

—This is a short article based on letters from readers of the Daily Prophet.

In that passage, a question that has been ignored by many people is pointed out very keenly - after Maka's transfer period ends, he will end his exchange teaching mission and return to Durmstrang Magic School

go?

This can be said to be a very real problem.

Because according to convention, professors from other schools usually return to the school where they work after the expiration of the dispatch period, because they are originally affiliated with the sending party. Only the special case of Maca will be in Durmstrang.

After giving my name, I was transferred directly to Hogwarts.

At the end of that short article, the reader who wrote the letter specifically added that he was actually a student of Durmstrang and was looking forward to Maca going back to teach them.

The information contained in this short article is undoubtedly quite eye-catching, and it is a rare topic. But after all, the Daily Prophet is a newspaper in the British wizarding world, and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper is extremely reluctant to part with such an attractive article.

A very strong article, but I still have to put it in an inconspicuous position.

After all, Hogwarts is also the pride of the British wizarding community, and Maka, the hero who destroyed the Dark Lord, would be better off staying in the UK, right?

After reading this short article several times, Hermione folded the newspaper and threw it aside, picked up the milk and took a sip.

Although I was sure that Maka would not leave Hogwarts, this matter was related to the decision of the International Federation of Wizards Education Department. In theory, Maka could not do whatever she wanted.

"Hermione? What's wrong with you?"

Probably noticing her worried look, Ginny suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "No, it's nothing... I was just thinking of a question that might be asked in the exam."

She responded casually and shook her head secretly in her mind - yes, it must be no problem. Since Maka could find a way to get herself to Hogwarts as a professor, wouldn't she be able to let herself stay?

?

But even though she comforted herself in her heart, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the newspaper again.

"Is that reader's letter really just written by a Durmstrang student?"

There was no evidence to answer her question.

…

There are less than two months left before the exam. With Hermione's habitual pre-exam anxiety, she can't get rid of it no matter how good her grades are. Now she is interspersed with this inexplicable order in her constant review.

She was so worried that she felt out of place all day long.

So, the unlucky ones were Ron and Harry.

Next Saturday is the Quidditch match between Hufflepuff and Slytherin. This is the last second match of this Quidditch Cup. If Slytherin loses to Hufflepuff then, then Glen

Fendo's chances of winning will be greatly increased, and the pressure on Ginny will definitely be less.

Unfortunately, Harry no longer had time to cheer for Ginny, because Hermione's urging made him tired of dealing with it, and he spent all his spare time studying textbooks. And when he thought about having to play in the finals,

, he couldn't help but feel that his pressure might be greater than Ginny's debut!

In the past few days, he has had several nightmares about exams and Quidditch matches. You know, since he has achieved some success in practicing Occlumency, he has almost no dreams at night!

To be honest, he was really grateful to Maka for this. Because after that, no matter how busy he was during the day, he could rest up with a good dreamless sleep.

But recently, the great fatigue seemed to have made it difficult for him to maintain Occlumency during sleep.

And in the early hours of one day, Harry suddenly opened his eyes in bed and sat up. While dripping with cold sweat, he touched his forehead in confusion. There, a lightning-shaped scar was beating for a long time.

There was a hint of pain, silently stimulating his nerves.
