HP Approaches the Magic World

"Are you crazy?"

Harry looked at the happy Hermione and said in disbelief but a little bit happily: "I want to keep it, I have already thought about it -"

He pulled out the old "Advanced Potion Making" textbook from his schoolbag, tapped the cover with his wand, and read: "Split into pieces!"

The cover immediately fell off.

He did the same thing again with the new book.

Then, Harry swapped the two covers with each other, knocked them again, and said, "Restore it to the same state as before!"

As a result, the Prince's book was disguised as a new book, while the new book just sent from Flourishes and Blotts looked tattered and completely like a second-hand product.

"I returned the new book to Slughorn. He has nothing to complain about. It cost me nine galleons."

Hermione pursed her lips, with anger and dissatisfaction written all over her face. Of course, she showed it, but she actually didn't care about it at all.

When a person has more important things to do, who cares if others are busy with lower-level things?

But this matter has something to do with Dumbledore. Jon had told her before that the grades in Potions class were important to Harry, so Hermione was just pretending, but she didn't know how to do it.

I really objected to Harry leaving the Half-Blood Prince book.

But now the situation has become a bit embarrassing, because now she can only stare at this thing.

Fortunately, at this moment, a third owl landed in front of her with that day's Daily Prophet, which naturally diverted her attention.

She hurriedly opened the newspaper and glanced at the first page.

"Did anyone we know die?"

Ron asked in a mock casual tone, a question he always asked every time Hermione opened the newspaper.

"No, but there are reports of another dementor attack," Hermione said, "and one person has been arrested."

"Great, who?"

said Harry, thinking of Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Stan Sandpack," Hermione said.

"What?" Harry was shocked.

Stan Sampac, a well-known Knight Bus conductor in the wizarding world, was arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activities.

Mr Sampac, now 21, was arrested last night after police raided his home in Clapham...

"Stan Sampac, is a Death Eater?"

Harry thought of the young man with acne on his face whom he first met three years ago, and couldn't believe his ears: "This is impossible!"

"He's probably under the Imperius Curse,"

Ron analyzed reasonably: "This is something uncertain."

"It doesn't look like it."

Hermione was still reading the newspaper: "It says that he was arrested after someone heard him talking about the Death Eaters' secret plans in a tavern."

She raised her head with a troubled expression on her face.

"If he was under the Imperius Curse, he wouldn't be able to go around talking about their plans, would he?"

"It seems like he wants to show off that he knows a lot of things."

Ron said: "When he wanted to get close to those Veela, didn't he brag that he was going to be the Minister of Magic?"

"Yes, that's him. I really don't understand what the Ministry of Magic is doing, and they actually take Stan's words seriously."

"Maybe they want everyone to see them doing something."

Hermione frowned: "After all, people are panicking now - you know, the parents of the twins Patil are taking them home.

Héloïse Midgen has dropped out of school, and her father came to pick her up last night."

"What!"

Ron's eyes widened: "But Hogwarts is safer than their home!

We have Aurors, so many new protective spells, and Dumbledore!"

"I don't think he was always with us."

Hermione lowered her voice and said, glancing from the Daily Prophet to the staff table: "Didn't you notice? In the past week, his seat has often been as empty as Hagrid's."

"I think he left school to do things related to the Order of the Phoenix. I mean... the situation seems very serious now, isn't it?"

Harry and Ron didn't answer, but Harry knew they were both thinking of the same thing.

Due to a horrific accident the day before, Hannah Abbott was called out of her herbal medicine class and told that her mother had been murdered.

After that, they never saw Hannah again.

Five minutes later, they left the Gryffindor table and walked towards the Quidditch pitch, where they met Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil.

Harry remembered what Hermione had said about the Patil twins' parents wanting them to leave Hogwarts, so he was not surprised to see these two good friends whispering and looking sad.

What surprised him was that when Ron walked past them, Parvati suddenly nudged Lavender with her elbow. Lavender turned around and gave Ron a bright smile.

Ron blinked at her and smiled hesitantly.

His walking posture immediately became swaggering and full of airs.

Harry wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he quickly held it back. He remembered that Ron didn't laugh at him when Malfoy stepped on his nose.

Hermione, on the other hand, looked arrogant and indifferent. She walked through the cold, foggy drizzle and walked to the stadium below. Then, without saying good luck to Ron, she went to find a seat in the stands.

As Harry had expected, the trial lasted for almost a whole morning.

But I have to say that this selection was not pleasant. He had never known that there were so many weirdos in Hogwarts. Each one was very special, very different, and very helpless.

The job of recruiting and interviewing was like torturing himself, but he couldn't pass this job to others. Now he suddenly remembered why Professor McGonagall took him to see Wood, and Wood showed great

He looks happy, because having a solid player in the team means that he will have to face fewer such people in the next interview.

It was so pitiful that Harry swore that he really had no other intention than to recruit two normal team members.

At least, he is the kind of player who will not hit the ball directly in his face. He has really implemented his original idea. It is more comfortable to use someone he is familiar with. At least everyone is familiar with each other and there is less running-in.

time.

Hermione also acted very happy because she cast a curse on the stands to help Ron, but then she realized that she was inappropriate, because Harry seemed to have discovered her abnormality.
