The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

After saying this, Dumbledore leisurely piled cockroaches into his mouth one by one, his eyes narrowed to slits, showing an expression of enjoyment.

Loren, Hermione and Ron stared at Harry, especially the scar on his forehead.

Although Dumbledore said that the amulet left by Harry's mother was invisible, they still looked at the scar.

Harry raised his hands in front of his chest, looked at the palms, then turned them over and looked at the backs of the hands.

It turns out that his mother has always been with him and protected him. A strange warmth flowed in his heart.

After Dumbledore finished eating a box of cockroaches, he glanced at the candies on the table with nostalgia, and left quietly without disturbing the little wizard's thoughts.

As the sun set slowly, Loren finished a box of Bibi's All-Flavour Beans and realized that Dumbledore had actually slipped away.

The other three people slowly woke up from their meditation.

"Loren, I'm sorry. You are right, Quirrell is the dark wizard, and we did not believe you." Hermione's voice was soft and soft.

"sorry."

"sorry."

Harry and Ron quickly followed.

"Well said." Loren snorted coldly, "But I won't forgive you unless you each eat two cockroaches."

He took out a new box of cockroaches from the pile of candies, opened the seal, and handed it to the nearest Hermione first.

"豼!" Hermione was furious and turned her head to avoid talking to this person.

It seems that Loren's attitude is very determined. Loren plans to skip Hermione, a difficult nut to crack, and first deceive Harry and Ron, two idiots.

He was about to retract the hand holding the candy box when he suddenly felt a resistance from above.

He looked up and saw that Hermione had taken out two cockroaches and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing them viciously.

Feeling Loren's gaze, Hermione gritted her teeth even more, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Hey." Loren didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, fearing that Hermione would actually pounce on him and bite him.

He rolled out of bed, walked over and handed the cockroach-stuffed candy box between Harry and Ron, signaling with his eyes that they were aware of it.

Ron looked at Loren with strange eyes. He really couldn't understand this bad taste.

When opening presents at Christmas, Loren lied to him that the secret of magic was among the cockroaches. He foolishly ate a few boxes before he realized that Loren had deceived him.

"Why do you always want people to eat cockroaches?" Ron muttered, but with his previous experience, he could easily accept cockroaches. He took out a handful and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Both of them accepted it, but Harry couldn't accept it. He had only heard of this kind of candy and had never eaten it.

No normal person can accept this! Harry roared in his mind.

His scalp tingled as he looked at the cockroach swinging its red limbs in the box. He shook his head crazily to indicate that he couldn't accept it.

Seeing Harry's resistance, Ron suddenly became excited and shouted, "Let me do it!"

He jumped directly onto Harry's bed, grabbed a handful of cockroaches and stuffed them into Harry's mouth.

One didn't want to eat, and the other insisted on eating. The two started fighting on the hospital bed.

Ron held Harry down and tried to stuff the cockroaches into his mouth. Harry jumped and struggled, trying to kick Ron off the hospital bed.

Loren was afraid that it would affect him, so he hurriedly left the battlefield and returned to his own hospital bed. He and Hermione next door looked at each other, not daring to say a word, and silently watched the two fight.

In the end, Ron won. He stuffed the pile of cockroaches into Harry's mouth and covered it tightly.

Harry's eyes widened, his pupils full of fear, tiny arthropods scratching on the mucous membrane of his mouth, and cockroaches kept digging into his throat.

It wasn't until the chocolate finally melted, revealing the fruity candy core inside, that Harry's discomfort subsided.

Ron released Harry's hand and happily returned to his hospital bed with a smile on his face, "Loren, I understand you. It feels good to force others to eat piles of cockroaches."

Loren felt perverted when looking at this smile. Don't talk nonsense, you and I are not the same person.

On Harry's hospital bed, the sheets and quilts were messy. He was lying on the pillow, his face dull and his eyes unfocused. I swallowed the sweet candy in my mouth, but my heart felt even more bitter.

He felt forced.

After a while, Harry recovered and got up to teach Ron a lesson.

Just like that, the two of them stuffed piles of cockroaches into each other's mouths, and the fight was chaotic.

When Madam Pomfrey came in, she was so angry that her nurse's hat was sticking up from her head when she saw this scene.

"No! In! The school doctor's office! Fight!" Madam Pomfrey's roar made Loren's ears ring.

She separated the two and gave them a good lesson. But the anger never subsided. When feeding Loren the medicine, he roughly poured a whole bottle into his mouth quickly. Loren felt that he almost choked to death.

As Madam Pomfrey slammed the door and walked out, the ward fell silent again.

After playing around for a while, Hermione finally remembered and asked, "Loren, how did you appear next to us when we were under the trap door?"

"Fox took me there," Loren replied.

Although the phoenix was not seen, the flames could be transmitted within Hogwarts Castle. Only Fox could satisfy these two characteristics.

Hermione was very confused when she heard this answer, "If Dumbledore was too late to come back to deal with Voldemort, then Fox should also ask the professor to help us. Why did he ask Loren?"

Questions were raised, and others were aware of the problem.

"Tell me, did Dumbledore mean to let us do these things?" Ron said, "I will give you your father's invisibility cloak, and all this."

Harry thought thoughtfully, "I think he probably wanted to give me a chance. He seemed to know more or less about everything and what we planned to do. But he didn't stop us. He seemed to think, I have the right to face Voldemort if possible."

Harry still had many doubts, why Voldemort must kill him, why the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest thought he should be killed by Voldemort...

Loren listened to the conversation between several people and realized that they were not just people who were kept in the dark and had no idea.

Being in the center of the vortex, they could clearly sense that something was unusual and aware of Dumbledore's arrangements and plans.

Loren wondered if he was right in wanting to avoid everything.

Even without his participation, when Harry and Quirrell met, the situation of the fight was completely different from what he knew. Be it the troll or Quirrell, it seems that he should be an indispensable part of the incident.

Perhaps the growth adventure story of the Iron Triangle that he knew had already turned into another story about the Big Four, in which he was also one of the protagonists.

Loren put Bibido's strange-flavored beans into his mouth one at a time, thinking a lot in his mind.

Suddenly, the snack bag in his hand was taken away. He raised his head blankly and watched Hermione take away his snacks.

"You have eaten enough snacks today. We are still in the hospital and should take good care of ourselves." The little witch resealed the bag carefully and put it back on the table at the end of the bed.

Loren looked at Hermione's little face, and the messy thoughts in his mind melted away like bubbles. He took out the pile of cockroaches that he had just finished eating from the side, and finally ate some more.

Hermione saw that there were only two or three pills left in the bag, so she let him go without confiscating them.

Loren: "Eating cockroaches?"

Hermione: "No."

"Have a taste."

"don't want!"

"Gee, this one seems real."

"Go away!"

Before you know it, the sun has completely set, the sky is filled with night, and the stars and moon are bright.

the next day.

Madam Pomfrey woke up a few people early, checked their bodies, and poured a bottle of grass-flavored potion.

Watching Madam Pomfrey exit the ward, Harry and Ron breathed a sigh of relief. The angry Madam Pomfrey was terrifying.

Just as several people were complaining about when they would be discharged from the hospital, Madam Pomfrey's voice came from afar, "Someone is here to see you again."

Before he finished speaking, Hagrid walked sideways through the door. His eyes were dark. He probably didn't sleep well last night. His beard and hair were messy and dirty.

"Hello, Hermione, Loren, and Ron." He greeted a few people, moved a big stool and sat beside Harry's bed, his huge body curled up, actually looking a little humble.

"Hagrid, are you okay?" Harry was surprised, but looking at Hagrid's not so good face, he was a little worried.

Hagrid cried sadly, "It's all my fault, I'm a fool!"

He covered his face with his broad hands, and a voice came from inside, "I told that Death Eater how to get past Lu Wei. I, for a fire dragon egg, you almost died."

Big tears flowed down between his fingers and soaked into his beard.

Hagrid cried so hard, "I will never drink again. I should be kicked out, never allowed to use magic, and be a Muggle for the rest of my life."

"Hagrid..." Several people looked uncomfortable and offered words of comfort.

But Hagrid just kept crying and seemed unable to hear them.

"Hagrid!" Harry finally yelled, loud enough for Hagrid to hear.

Hagrid wiped his face randomly with his rough palms, smearing his nose and tears onto his beard, and looked at Harry with humble eyes. The giant was begging for his forgiveness.

Harry handed over tissue after tissue and said: "Hagrid, he is Voldemort -"

Seeing that Hagrid trembled obviously when he heard the name, Harry's voice became louder, "He is Voldemort! Even if you don't tell him, he will always find out."

Hagrid straightened his back a little.

Harry's tone softened and he said, "I think you quite like your little pink umbrella, don't you?"

Hagrid's eyes widened with surprise.

Harry felt a little proud and a little amused. He had been suspicious since he heard that Hagrid had his wand broken.

When Hagrid met him for the first time, he made his fat pig cousin grow a pig tail. When Hagrid was fully armed and patrolled the Forbidden Forest, he saw Hagrid's small pink umbrella hidden in his coat, which confirmed his guess.

When Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts and broke his wand, someone should have secretly repaired his wand. As for who it was, Harry thought he had guessed it.

Seeing Hagrid's stunned expression and the unwiped tears on his face, Harry thought to himself: What harmful things would such a person do? It was all Voldemort's fault.

"Eat something, we have all kinds of snacks here." Loren handed over a small pile, then quickly opened a box and ate it.

Hagrid wiped his nose with his hand, "Just so I brought Harry a gift."

As he spoke, he took out a book with a beautiful cover and handed it to Harry.

Harry opened it curiously, and it was filled with pictures of wizards. A man and a woman, the wizards on every page of photos were smiling at him and waving. Those were his father and mother.

"After hearing what Loren said about you always looking at your mother's photos, I sent an owl to deliver a letter to your parents' old classmates and asked for their photos." Hagrid observed Harry's expression and asked expectantly: "You Like it?"

Harry was speechless...

The warm and boring ward life soon ended, and they said goodbye to Madam Pomfrey happily.

On the way back to the Gryffindor lounge from the corridor, Harry and Ron were walking in front, jumping up and chasing each other from time to time, venting the energy they had accumulated over the past few days.

Loren and Hermione were having a heated discussion.

Hermione believed that they should respect the Hogwarts staff and say goodbye as a basic courtesy.

In Loren's opinion, Madam Pomfrey is a doctor, and if it's not good for them to see each other again, they shouldn't say goodbye.

The end result was Loren holding her arms and massaging the muscles to ease the pain.

In the morning, the group said the password in front of the Fat Lady's portrait and walked into the Gryffindor lounge. As soon as they climbed out of the cave, they saw Seamus Finnigan staring at them on the bench in the middle of the lounge, his eyes burning.

There were many other little wizards in the lounge, looking at them as well. For a moment, Seamus raised his hands and cheered, "The warriors are back!"

"warrior!"

Then, Seamus led a group of young wizards to rush up, intending to surround them.

"Quiet!"

Percy, who came out of nowhere, got in front of the crowd and stood in front of them. He looked at Seamus and a group of young wizards with a straight face: "I have something serious to do with them..."

Percy, as a prefect, quickly dismissed the enthusiastic group of students and took Loren and others to a corner.

"This is the "Hogwarts Student Holiday Code of Conduct. You need to sign it and give it to me." Percy handed four pieces of parchment to them.

"code of conduct?"

The four of them looked at the parchment in confusion.

Like the "Notice to Parents" before the holidays in the Muggle world, this document details what little wizards should and should not do during the holidays.

But the most important one is the last paragraph:

"Underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school. If there is such behavior, the Ministry of Magic will give a warning. Repeat violators may be expelled from the school.

(Act for the Reasonable Restraint of Minor Witches, 1875, Section 3)

(International Confederation of Wizards Statute of Secrecy, Article 13)

Ministry of Magic

No Misuse of Magic Office"

Hermione's nose immediately turned red, feeling aggrieved. She plans to practice magic for the next school year in advance during the holidays, and plans to use magic to help her mother with housework so that they can also experience the convenience of magic.

But now these plans have come to nothing.

Harry's face didn't look good either. He had always wanted to teach the Dursleys a lesson in magic, but he couldn't do it now.

But he soon thought that he would be with Sirius during the holidays and would not even see the Dursleys, and he felt happy again.
