Hogwarts Homecoming

Twenty minutes later, Harry and Hermione returned to the common room after going back to their dormitories to investigate.

Their respective roommates are waiting for them here.

"How's it going, Harry and Hermione?"

This was not the first time that Harry's dormitory had been robbed. Several of Harry's roommates were relatively calm, but Neville asked with a solemn expression,

"Did you find anything missing?"

The anger in Harry's green eyes was about to burst out. He clenched his fists tightly and the corners of his mouth were twisted with anger.

Out of caution, Harry did not answer Neville's question and looked at Hermione.

For the same reason, Hermione didn't speak and just exchanged glances with Harry.

"Someone sneaked into the girls' dormitory and stole things!"

Parvati seemed to be frightened by this. She grabbed the collar of her angora red woolen coat with both hands and screamed shrilly,

"We must tell Professor McGonagall, and Professor Blaine, he is responsible for student safety!"

Harry decided to do this even without Parvati's reminder, but now there was another problem.

"Has anyone seen Ron and Lavender?"

Harry tried hard to control his emotions, tightened his mouth, and looked at the trustworthy friends around him.

"Ron and Lavender?"

Neville frowned and thought for a while, and after confirming that he had indeed not seen these two people for a while since he came back, he still frowned.

"They. Harry, don't you think they are two?"

This was complicated to say. Normally, Harry wouldn't mind saying a few more words, but now he had no intention of explaining.

Concern for Ron outweighed his anger for losing something. Harry looked at Hermione.

"Go to the Great Hall first and ask Malfoy where Ron and Lavender are. Phew. If he dares to say he doesn't know, I swear I will knock his teeth out in front of all the professors!"

Malfoy did this?

Neville and others, who knew nothing about the matter, all showed varying degrees of surprise.

But what surprised them even more was that Hermione, who they regarded as being much more sensible, not only did not dissuade Harry, but instead nodded heavily!

Wow--

The Fat Lady's portrait opened at this time, and Arya's face appeared outside the doorway.

"Oh, great, Harry, you happen to be here!"

Arya said happily, waving to Harry.

"Sorry, Aaliyah, if Angelina asked you to come to me and hold a tactical meeting, I'm afraid I don't have time right now."

Harry said quietly.

"Oh, it has nothing to do with Quidditch, Harry, it's Professor Dumbledore—"

"Professor Dumbledore?"

Harry asked in shock, his heart skipping a beat!

"Just now in the auditorium, Professor Dumbledore seemed to have received the patronus message from Professor Blaine. Then, he took Professor McGonagall upstairs with him. Before leaving, he asked me to find you two -"

Arya pointed at Hermione again,

"I hope you two will go to the school hospital as soon as possible!"

"School hospital, why?"

Harry asked again in shock, but after he asked, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was unwilling to face it.

"Come on, Harry, let's get there quickly!"

Hermione grabbed Harry's sleeve and hurriedly left the Gryffindor common room under the worried eyes of their respective roommates.

Harry ran downstairs as fast as he could in his life. He didn't have time to wait for the slow-moving spiral stairs to change positions. Several times, before the stairs had reset, he jumped up and flew towards them. past.

Even Hermione was frightened by this bold move.

"Calm down, Harry, Ron and Lavender will be fine. Malfoy doesn't dare do anything treacherous at Hogwarts!"

Hermione said breathlessly as she hurriedly followed Harry.

"Oh, really, I don't have such confidence in Malfoy-"

Harry responded with hatred in his tone.

He didn't know what happened yet, but he already had a pretty good guess.

When he thought about how Malfoy had the guts to sit at the Slytherin table for dinner when he walked into the hall, Harry felt that his heart was going to explode!

The two people arrived at the fourth floor of the castle where the school hospital is located.

Because of the sudden drop in temperature since October, the campus hospital was a little busier than usual, and the beds in the public wards were almost full of listless little wizards.

"Come in, Harry and Hermione—"

The two people stood at the door and looked around at the beds in the public ward, looking for that familiar face.

The door of a small ward on the left suddenly opened, and Professor Blaine's calm face appeared in the sight of Harry and Hermione.

Harry and Hermione ran over quickly and rushed into the softly lit ward.

"It seems that you have already anticipated this situation, right?"

After running into the ward, Professor Blaine asked calmly as he saw Lavender and Ron lying unconscious on two adjacent beds, and then Harry and Hermione fell into silence.

As Arya said, Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall are also in this ward.

Professor Dumbledore's eyes were still full of tolerance and wisdom when he looked at them, while Professor McGonagall's expression was much stern. It was as if all the trouble was caused by them!

"us."

Hermione didn't expect Harry to have any brilliant answers in this situation, so she took the initiative to take over the topic.

"us."

However, under the gaze of the three professors, Hermione's proud alertness suddenly disappeared. For a moment, she couldn't find a suitable reason to explain why they seemed to know that Ron and Lavender had something wrong.

"I think you may not fully understand the current situation, Harry, Hermione--"

Professor Dumbledore said gently, and then he looked at Professor Braine.

"It's like this--"

Amosta's calm face showed no joy or anger.

"As soon as I returned to Hogwarts, I noticed that someone entered my office without permission, so I immediately went back to the office to check the situation--"

Professor Braine's office was still opened.

Harry pursed his lips. He didn't feel surprised either. Since he found that he had lost something in the dormitory, he had expected it.

But he didn't have time to tell Hermione what he had lost, so Hermione still showed a surprised and subtle expression of fear.

"Ron and Lavender were lying on the floor of my office. I immediately checked them--"

"How was it?"

Harry's voice trembled slightly. He asked directly, not caring that his tone was a bit presumptuous.

"It was the Stunning Spell that caused the two to be unconscious. Moreover, they both had a high fever--"

Amostas pointed to the robes belonging to Ron and Lavender hanging on the hanger on the side.

"It looks like they have been caught in the rain. The clothes are soaked. In addition--"

After a pause, Amostas continued to speak to the two in a calm tone.

"Before sending them here, I briefly checked my office. Oh, there is actually no need to check. It is obvious what is missing."

"What is it. Professor Braine?"

Although there are still many questions, Harry still asked this question first. He wanted to know what Malfoy had been planning to steal this semester. What task did Voldemort give him!

"Oh, you've all seen it. I've been displaying the staff I stole from the dark witch Vitia Cleona in my office."

That impressive, powerful vine staff. It's lost. Voldemort wants to steal this!

"Mr. Potter, and Miss Granger, you know the seriousness of this matter!"

Professor McGonagall was the first to break the oppressive silence. She walked up to the two of them, her eyes filled with fascinating light, and looked at them sternly.

"Mrs. Pomfrey gave Mr. Weasley and Miss Brown a tranquilizer. She said that for their health, it would be best to let them sleep for a night.

But I see, you seem to know something, right!" (End of this chapter)
