Chapter 349: Besieging Malfoy

"New action, Hermione!"

When Harry pulled Ron out, Hermione was the only one left in the common room, reading a book quietly. She was curled up on the soft sofa, with the sunlight filtering through.

The window fell on her hair, giving her a feeling that Harry couldn't describe.

Hermione heard Harry's shout, raised her head slightly, closed the book in her hand, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"Before you say anything, Hermione, please save my paper." Ron cried sadly and raised the parchment in his hand that was stained with ink.

"Little things." Hermione responded, took out her wand and waved it gently in the air. The messy ink immediately formed a line and flew up from the parchment, disappearing at the tip of the wand.

"What action, Harry?"

Harry repeated what Dobby said to Hermione before, and then said excitedly: "...So, let's go to the Room of Requirement to stop him!"

"Don't be impatient, Harry." Hermione shook her head slightly, tapped her fingers on the book, and said, "Did Dobby say the word 'different people'?"

"Uh... yes, I'm sure!" Harry didn't know why Hermione asked this, but the habit he had developed over the years made him give the answer directly.

"That's right!" Hermione said, "Harry, do you remember what's in the Potions classroom? It's such a big vat, he could steal some during that class..."

"Polyjuice Potion!" Harry clapped his hands excitedly, "Yes, that's it!"

"There are no different people at all, just Crabbe and Goyle! They are the only two who would blindly follow Malfoy's orders!"

"What are we waiting for? Let's stop them now!"

"Wait Harry, don't get too excited. Do you remember what I told you before? If you don't know what's inside, you can't enter the Room of Requirement..." Hermione said seriously, "And don't forget, you

Now you should focus your energy on getting rid of Slughorn."

"This...it's okay. I can use the Marauder's Map to look at it first. As for Slughorn...damn it, why did everything come together!"

"It's actually not complicated, Harry. It's just that you didn't distinguish the priorities... Malfoy is not important, compared to Slughorn's memory." Hermione said, "Maybe you can try to have a good relationship with him.

Instead of using magic or potions, Dumbledore can do it himself if that works."

"But Malfoy..."

"Harry, can you tell the priority? Don't forget that Dumbledore was a little dissatisfied with your previous performance, and obviously, compared to your own judgment, I am more willing to believe in Dumbledore... at least in

For him, Malfoy was not as important as that memory..."

"This... okay, okay, I'll try, I'll try..."

Hermione looked at Harry who agreed repeatedly and shook her head slightly. She knew very well that Harry clearly didn't listen to what she said.

Maybe in his heart, Malfoy is more important than everything else...

Hermione had two classes the next morning. She had to take a lesson on Ancient Runes first, and then a Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Harry and Ron. After breakfast, she separated from Harry and Ron.

.

In fact, Ron walked with her for a while, because he had to go back to the dormitory to complete the paper required by Snape, and he was still short of finishing. Harry, on the other hand, took advantage of the time before the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

, wearing an invisibility cloak to stalk Malfoy.

Obviously, he got nothing and even made himself one minute late.

"Ten points from Gryffindor for your tardiness, Potter." Snape glanced at Harry coldly, then lifted his robes and motioned for the students who had not yet sat down to take their seats.

Harry was very angry about this. He could see clearly that more than half of the class, including Hermione and Ron, had not yet sat down. It was obvious that he was not too late.

"Before class starts, I want to see your paper. I hope it will be better than the last one." Snape waved his wand, and the pieces of parchment flew up and landed neatly on the podium in front of him.

"I really hope it can be better than the last article on how to resist the soul-stealing curse, even though this is impossible to happen..."

Snape began his teaching about the Cruciatus Curse. Obviously, the difficulty of the NEWTS course and the OWS course were completely different concepts. At least there was no content about the Unforgivable Curse in the previous textbooks. Although everyone hated Snape

Nap, but in his current form, still chose to listen carefully. After all, no one could say that they would not encounter those crazy dark wizards.

Except Harry, of course.

Because nothing came of the response to the request outside the room, and Snape once again deducted points for trivial matters, Harry felt angry throughout the class. Several times, he wanted to get up and confront Snape, but still

Ron and Hermione grabbed him from left to right. But it was obvious that this little move could not escape Snape's eyes, and Harry was punished for it - because of a substandard classroom answer.

Gryffindor was deducted another ten points.

This class was very difficult. Both Harry and Ron were ridiculed by Snape. Harry was because of problems that he didn't care about, and Ron was because of the Apparition. A few months later, among the three of them,

Only he himself has not been able to succeed so far.

This was very frustrating for Ron, who had to attend special training in Hogsmeade on weekends, and he was the only one who had to do this. Harry and Hermione could just wait for a while to take the exam, and with their

The level is very easy to pass.

At the weekend, Harry and Hermione said goodbye to Ron at the school gate, and then turned around and headed back to the castle, not even wanting to stay for a second longer. Ron was not alone. Lavender, who could also pass the exam, chose to accompany him.

The sight of being together made people very uncomfortable. For this reason, they would rather give up the rare opportunity to go to Hogsmeade to relax.

"Hermione, why don't you accompany me to block Malfoy once..."

On the way, Harry struggled for a long time and finally asked.

"You might as well go directly to Slughorn's office and get that memory." Hermione replied.

"I have been working hard, but I have no chance to be alone with him!" Harry said a little irritably, "He disappeared after class. I went to find him by myself, but he didn't open the door at all. Once I even heard

The sound of a gramophone coming from inside!”

"This only shows that you haven't worked hard enough, Harry..."

"Okay, okay, I'll go by myself..." Harry said impatiently, while also speeding up his pace slightly.

Seeing this, Hermione couldn't help but shook her head slightly, rushed over in a few steps, and patted Harry's arm.

"I didn't say not to go, Harry..."
