HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 816: A Girl’s Mind

"Are you crazy?"

Looking at the happy Hermione, Harry said in disbelief but a little bit happily, "I'm going to keep it, I've already thought about it—"

He took out the old "Advanced Potion Making" textbook from his schoolbag, tapped the cover with his wand, and said, "Fall to pieces!"

The cover came off immediately.

He did the same with the new book.

Then, Harry swapped the two covers with each other, tapped again, and said, "Back to the original!"

So, the prince's book was disguised as a new book, while the new book just sent by Lihen Bookstore looked tattered, like a second-hand book.

"I returned the new book to Slughorn. He had nothing to complain about, and it cost me nine Galleons."

Hermione pursed her lips, with anger and dissatisfaction written all over her face, of course, it was shown, she didn't really care about this thing at all.

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

However, this matter has something to do with Dumbledore. Jon told her before that the potions class is very important to Harry, so Hermione is just pretending, but she will not Really strong against Harry keeping the Half-Blood Prince book.

It's just that the current situation has become a little awkward, because she can only stare at this thing now.

Fortunately, at this moment, a third owl landed in front of her with that day's "Daily Prophet", diverting her attention as it should.

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

"Has anyone we knew died?"

Ron asked in a falsely casual tone, the question he had to ask every time Hermione opened the paper.

"No, but there have been reports of another dementor attack," said Hermione. "Another person has been arrested."

"Great, who?"

said Harry, thinking of Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Stan Thornpark," said Hermione.

"What?" Harry was taken aback.

Stan Thornpike, the famous Knight bus conductor in wizarding circles, has been arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activity.

Mr Sampak, aged 21, was arrested by police last night following a raid on his Clapham home...

"Stan Thornpark, a Death Eater?"

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

"He's probably under the Imperius Curse," he said.

Ron analyzed reasonably: "This is something that is uncertain."

"It doesn't look like it."

Hermione was still reading the paper: "It says he was arrested after he was overheard talking about the Death Eaters' secret plans in a tavern."

She looked up with a distressed expression on her face.

"If he is under the Imperius Curse,

It's impossible to go around talking about their plans, is it? "

"Looks like he's trying to show off that he knows a lot."

Ron said: "Didn't he brag that he was going to be the Minister of Magic when he wanted to get close to those veela?"

"Yeah, that's him. I don't understand what the Ministry of Magic is up to to take Stan seriously."

"Probably to let everyone see that they are doing something."

Hermione frowned: "After all, people are panicking now—did you know that the parents of the twins Patil are going to take them home.

Heloise Midgen was out of school, and her father came to fetch her last night. "

"What!"

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

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

"I don't think he's actually been with us all the time."

Hermione said in a low voice, her eyes flicking from the Daily Prophet to the staff table: "Didn't you notice? This past week, his seat was often as empty as Hagrid's."

"I think he's leaving school to do things with the Order of the Phoenix, I mean... the situation is looking dire now, isn't it?"

Harry and Ron didn't answer, but Harry knew the same thing was on their minds.

After a horrible accident the day before, Hannah Abbott had been called out from 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, meeting Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil head-on.

Harry remembered what Hermione had said about the Patil twins' parents wanting them out of Hogwarts, so he wasn't surprised to see the two good friends whispering there, looking sad.

To his surprise, as Ron walked by them, Parvati suddenly elbowed Lavender, and Lavender turned around and gave Ron a big smile.

Ron blinked at her and smiled hesitantly.

His walking posture immediately became swaggering, full of airs.

Harry wanted to laugh, but quickly held back, remembering that Ron didn't laugh at himself when Malfoy stepped on his nose.

Hermione, on the other hand, looked arrogant and indifferent. She walked down to the field through the cold, foggy drizzle, and then, without wishing Ron good luck, went straight to find a seat in the stands.

As Harry had expected, the trials went on for almost a morning.

But I have to say that this trial was not a pleasant one. He never knew that there were so many strange things in Hogwarts, each of which was very special, very different, and very frustrating.

The job of recruiting interviews is like torturing himself, but he has no way to pass this job to others. Now he suddenly remembered why when Professor McGonagall brought him to see Wood, Wood showed a very He looked happy, because one more secure player in the team meant that he would have to face fewer such people in the next interview.

Goodness, Harry swears, he really didn't mean anything other than to recruit two normal players.

At least, he is the kind of player who will not throw the ball directly in his face. He 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 a lot less running-in. time.

And Hermione was also 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.
