The Admiral of Hogwarts

Due to the many things that had happened before, Hugo and Hermione were both very tired. Therefore, after leaving the Headmaster's office, they went straight back to their dormitories to rest.

After dinner, Hugo avoided the others and went straight to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor of the castle.

"What are you doing?" As soon as he entered, Hugo saw Veneto and Firefly standing at the door of the changing room, looking around as if waiting for someone.

"Hermione is inside trying to deploy her ship equipment for the first time, and we are waiting for her here." Firefly stared excitedly at the curtain at the door of the room, "I'm quite curious about what your sister's ship girl form will be like."

"Actually, I'm quite curious too." Hugo stood beside Veneto and Firefly and waited as well. After all, they were worried that ship girl transformation might cause problems with space-time, so they didn't dare to deploy ship equipment during time travel.

For ship girls, deploying ship equipment is an instinct. So even Hermione, who was a novice, completed the deployment work after only a dozen minutes of tinkering.

"Finally finished deploying the ship equipment, I feel like I have eight legs like a spider now." As the voice fell, Hermione walked out of the changing room. "You look very different from usual."

Hugo found that his sister was completely different from before, and it could even be said that even acquaintances might not recognize her at first glance.

Unlike her usual messy brown hair, after Hermione deployed her ship equipment, her hair turned into smooth golden long hair draped over her shoulders, and her eyes also turned sky blue.

The clothes on her body were a set of military-style clothing. The upper body was a blue military uniform in the style of the Napoleonic era, and the lower body was a white long skirt. On her back was a set of ship equipment that didn't look much different from other Dido-class ships.

The most special thing was her limbs. In this state, Hermione's joints and below the knees were all mechanical structures, revealing a cruel beauty.

"Your arms and legs—" Hugo pointed to his sister's arms and legs and asked. In fact, he had always been very curious about what the body structure of the Dido-class, which looked like mechanical prosthetics, was all about.

"They are no different from ordinary limbs." Hermione raised her hand to her eyes and clenched her fist. "After all, I am a ship girl now, is it strange that there are mechanical parts on my body?"

"Uh—there's indeed nothing wrong with it, it even looks quite beautiful." Hugo suddenly realized that ship girls themselves were not flesh and blood, so whether the limbs were displayed in a mechanical state or the same as ordinary people, it was almost the same for them.

In the following time, Hermione began to test her new form with the help of Firefly and Veneto. Although she couldn't use ship equipment weapons, the Admiral Network was enough for them to conduct combat-like training.

"It seems that the weakest one here has become me again." Looking at the lightning-like movements of the three ship girls, including his sister, Hugo sighed helplessly, and then ran to the side to start practicing fighting and shooting.

Perhaps because she was excited about mastering new power, Hermione seemed very excited during training that night. As a result, everyone returned to the dormitory to rest very late in order to accompany her.

When Hugo opened his eyes the next morning, he found that he had gained 61 fate points. Obviously, this time his actions greatly changed the original plot.

This was naturally very good news for Hugo, and after he spent the weekend in a very good mood. When he walked into the Great Hall on Monday, he found that the Great Hall was much noisier than usual, and everyone seemed to be discussing something.

"What happened?" After sitting down in his seat, Hugo asked Hermione, who was sitting across from him. "I feel like everyone is a little different from usual today."

"The Sirius Black matter has a conclusion today, and everyone is discussing it." Hermione said, taking out a newspaper from beside her and handing it to Hugo, then smiled. "The headmaster acted faster than we thought."

《Watching in the Dark—A Record of Sirius Black, Who Was Wrongfully Imprisoned for 12 Years》, At the first glance, Hugo saw such a title.

Today's 《Daily Prophet》's front-page headline was an article by Rita Skeeter, in which she wrote in great detail about the entire process of Sirius Black's wrongful imprisonment.

Especially after describing Sirius Black's innocence with great detail in the front. The conversation changed and focused on the fact that the Ministry of Magic threw him into Azkaban without trial.

"—What a terrible fact that one can be imprisoned in Azkaban without trial. There is no doubt that this means that the Ministry of Magic can put any innocent person in prison."

Obviously, Rita Skeeter knew how to mobilize the emotions of the people. After all, an innocent person who has been imprisoned for 12 years may not arouse everyone's sympathy, but the idea that everyone has the possibility of being wrongfully imprisoned will inevitably arouse the empathy of everyone.

In the following pages, the other party also described how Peter Pettigrew defected to Voldemort and betrayed the Potter couple, and then how he turned into a rat and survived for 12 years.

Interestingly, in the back pages, Fudge blamed the misjudgment on the previous Minister of Magic and the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and then guaranteed that similar practices such as the unified use of Veritaserum would be adopted in the future to avoid innocent people from being imprisoned again.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic also announced Sirius Black's innocence and compensation plan. At the same time, it stated that all the Dementors who were originally outside would be returned to Azkaban.

It was precisely because of this reason that everyone in the Great Hall now showed a smile. Because everyone had endured enough of that disgusting creature.

Of course, there were also unlucky people in this atmosphere of universal joy. For example, Mr. Weasley was suspended from his job for investigation, because Peter had been hiding in his house for the past 12 years.

"I heard that you and Professor Halsey found Peter together yesterday?" Just as he was walking out after breakfast, the Weasley twins approached and said.

"Yes." Hugo nodded. "I'm very sorry that your father was implicated in this matter."

"No, no, no, we are here specifically to thank you." Hearing Hugo's apology, Fred shook his head and said. "Thanks to your help, we were able to eliminate this Death Eater hidden by our side."

"That's right, the thought that a murderer who killed more than a dozen people in one breath has been by our side for more than ten years has awakened our mother from her dreams several times." George said.

"So she specifically wrote a letter asking us to thank you, otherwise, if Peter really hurt our relatives or friends one day, it would be too late to regret it."

"As for my father, you don't need to worry, this is just a simple review, it won't affect too much. Moreover, my father also said that these punishments are what he should bear, after all, he was the one who picked Peter up in the yard back then."

After that, Harry and Ron also ran over during class to thank the Granger siblings. Especially for Harry, this meant that he, who had always been an orphan, finally had his own real relatives.
