Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Harry spent the rest of the holiday in a state of trepidation. In fact, not only him, but everyone was as well.

The next day's "Daily Prophet" published the current appearance of Diagon Alley. The tragic scene was simply heart-stopping, especially the series of death lists, which were simply chilling.

Mrs. Weasley forbids Harry and the others to go out, even to relax in the garden. If Mr. Weasley had not had to go to work, he would have been kept at home by her.

After all, no one knows where the crazy Voldemort and his followers will attack next.

In this tense atmosphere, Harry finally survived the New Year and could return to Hogwarts.

This time, the Ministry of Magic did not send a car, but temporarily connected the floo network between the Burrow and Hogwarts in order to allow students to return to school safely and quickly.

Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny lined up by the fireplace next to the kitchen. Only Mrs. Weasley saw them off, and everyone else had to go to work.

Mrs. Weasley couldn't help but shed tears. She had been doing this from time to time since Percy was driven away by the twins, Ron and Ginny on Christmas Day. It was obvious that the atmosphere of separation at this moment defeated Weasley.

Madam has reached the bottom of tears.

"Don't cry, Mum..." Ginny hugged Mrs. Weasley, patted her back and said, "It's okay..."

"Just, don't worry about us." Ron said, this time he did not avoid Mrs. Weasley's kiss.

"We will be safe, don't worry." Hermione's tone was simple, with an undoubted look on her face, but all this was broken by Mrs. Weasley's tight hug.

Finally, Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry and burst into tears.

"Promise me to take good care of myself and stay out of trouble..."

"I like a quiet life, you know, Mrs. Weasley." Harry said seriously, successfully making Mrs. Weasley laugh.

She stepped back and finally warned: "Everything will be fine..." Then, she watched Harry and others disappear into the fireplace one by one.

The familiar feeling of dizziness hit Harry, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all. He was used to this feeling and stopped steadily in Professor McGonagall's fireplace.

This scene must have happened many times today, and right in front of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were standing there. Professor McGonagall was not moved at all and did not even raise his head.

"Good evening, Potter, don't get too much dust on the carpet."

"No, Professor, I'm very careful."

Harry straightened his glasses and straightened out his appearance. The four of them bowed to Professor McGonagall, left her office, and walked toward Gryffindor Tower.

"It's worthless." Ron said confidently in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"No." The fat lady looked paler than before and lacked energy.

"What's wrong?" Ron was stunned and had not yet reacted.

"The password is wrong, change the password." The fat lady rubbed her head, as if she was frightened by Ron's loud voice.

Harry and the others had no time to pay attention to Ron, who was staring at the Fat Lady. They looked at each other in confusion. Especially for Hermione and Ginny, this was the first time that they did not know the password for the common room.

In other words, they "Nawe".

"Hi Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Ron..." Just as he was thinking about it, the real Neville appeared at the other end of the corridor holding a thick book, saying hello to them and running over.

"How was your Christmas?"

"It's terrible." Harry shook his head, "Too many things have happened..."

"Yeah..." Neville sighed, "After the incident in Diagon Alley, my grandma didn't even allow me to leave his sight... even when I was going to the toilet..."

"Ah, that's really too bad." Harry and Ron sighed in unison, while Neville also looked like he couldn't bear to look back on the past.

When the three elders were lost in some strange memories, Hermione asked aloud: "Neville, do you know the new password?"

"I know!" Neville became inexplicably excited and blurted out, "Quit drinking!"

"Correct." The fat lady still looked listless, but she still showed them the portrait hole.

"What happened to her?" Harry asked curiously as they walked into the cave entrance one after another.

"Christmas was so crazy." Neville said from the front, "It seemed like she and her friends drank all the wine in the painting of a few drunken monks next to the corridor of the Charms classroom...

…”

"Ah, no wonder..." Harry nodded after hearing this, which already answered everything.

He didn't find it strange, he had seen even more outrageous things, such as the duel between the knight portrait outside the Potions classroom and the knight portrait in the corridor on the sixth floor, and then both were seriously injured and screamed in pain, which directly woke up the whole family.

The people of this castle. In the end, it was Delise Devante, the former headmistress of Hogwarts, who took the initiative to cure them.

In comparison, the fat lady and her good friend Ms. Violet's drunkenness is really nothing.

"By the way, I almost forgot, Dumbledore asked me to give this to you." Neville said as he stepped into the common room, rummaging in various pockets on his body, but couldn't find it at all. Then again

He shook the book in his hand crazily, and then a piece of parchment fell out of the book.

"Here, this is it." Neville bent down and picked up the parchment and handed it to Harry. Harry quickly took it, opened it, read it once and closed it.

"Tomorrow night," he said, "it will be faster this time."

"It's normal, after all, such a bad attack happened during the holidays." Hermione shrugged.

Except for Neville, everyone else looked indifferent, which obviously made Neville anxious. When Harry saw this, he directly told him about Dumbledore giving him lessons. After hearing this, Neville's face could only be filled with surprise.

My friend is sincerely happy.

"That's great!" Neville said, with a hint of envy in his eyes. But that was all. He was very self-aware and knew his talent in magic.

So, there is only envy.

Harry didn't pay attention to Neville's expression and discussed the matter in Diagon Alley with them. Not only that, Harry also told them about Scrimgeour asking him for help, which immediately attracted everyone's criticism.

They all agreed that asking Harry for help and standing up for him after causing him so much suffering last year, even if the minister was changed, would be an extremely speechless thing.

"So thick-skinned." This is Neville's feeling.

"Standard politician." This is Hermione's summary.
