Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 31 Announcement
The first morning of the second week of school started with the sound of yawning. Professor Snape's Potions homework obviously bothered more than one or two people. Last night, the Gryffindor lounge was crowded with people all night Dadan was a second-year student who was rushing to do homework. After all, no one wanted to be locked up by Snape in the first month of school.

Before Harry and Ron yawned and returned to the dormitory last night, Neville squatted by the fireplace dealing with the five-foot-long paper with a sad face. He didn't even notice that his robe was ignited by the fire in the fireplace. The toad named Lyfe gave him a hard bite in the ear, which saved him from the tragic fate of being roasted.

Anyway, Neville probably didn't get much sleep all night, so it took Seamus and Dean about 10 minutes to wake him up this morning, and, when going down the spiral stairs, he rolled straight into the into the lounge.

"I'll go and talk to Professor Snape, Mr. Longbottom, and let him take care of it step by step."

Even the stern Professor McGonagall couldn't bear Neville's miserable appearance. In the Transfiguration class in the morning, when Professor McGonagall figured out why Neville was wearing a scorched robe, with two big black eyes and ears When there were still clear bite marks on her face, she took a deep breath and said.

Neville's episode made people forget for a moment that there was an Inquisitor at the school, but such luck could not always happen.

Oliver Wood will not let the cold weather and pattering rain delay his way to the championship. His training plan started from the first week of the second week of school and maintained four times a week before the final. of ultra-high frequency.

"You all know that Slytherin will be strong this year!" Wood yelled at all the players who were swaying in the wind on his broom, "We will face a tough battle in the finals this year, of course, if we are defeated by Hufflepuff or If Ravenclaw is eliminated, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

"Please, is there anyone who can calm Oliver down!"

Katie Bell, who was at the same level as the Weasley twins, almost slipped off the broom in order to avoid the Bludger hit by George. She broke down and yelled, "My clothes are soaked, and I haven't been doing it for a few days. Comfortable!"

"Maybe you can ask Harry to help, Katie," said George, grinning, hissing over her head, "you can ask Harry to release his servants in the Chamber of Secrets, I guess, just let Flynn Wood will probably feel a little better if Tate and Malfoy are turned to stone!"

George's words elicited a laugh, and Harry had to chuckle in agreement.

"Harry, Harry!"

Ron hurriedly ran from the castle to the stadium. He was playing wizard chess with Seamus in the common room, but the news from Neville on the way made it impossible for him to continue leisurely.

"What's up, Ron!"

Under Wood's man-eating eyes, Harry controlled the Nimbus 2000 and flew to the edge of the playground. When he saw Ron's pale face, he immediately realized that something bad might happen again.

"Look in the hall, Harry, right now!"

Ron took Harry and ran towards the castle without even giving him time to ask for leave, while the rest of the team mistook another attack, descended one after another and followed him towards the castle, and finally , leaving Wood alone in the sky. . .

By the time the team arrived in the foyer, there was already a large group of people whispering over the newly posted announcement on the bulletin board.

Seeing Harry coming, the crowd automatically parted in the middle, Hufflepuff's Ernie's gang and Susan Burns looked at him with incomprehensible lights, Percy's expression was serious, and Ginny, who was standing behind Percy, clutched her chest, her face was very pale.

"For you, Weasley, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, isn't it?"

Standing at the front was Draco Malfoy, and his two loyal followers squeezed out the best position for him. When he saw Harry and Ron, who were wet and blue, coming, he showed a vicious look. smile,

"You only have this chance in your life to have the money to buy yourself a magic wand. Are you going to give it up?"

"Go away, Malfoy, I don't need you to worry about anything!" Ron said bluntly.

Perhaps seeing that the Gryffindor players were all here, Malfoy really commanded Crabbe and Goyle to dodge to the side, looking at Harry maliciously, and this also made Harry Finally seeing what caused such a commotion.

Posted on the bulletin board is an up-to-date public list, big enough to cover all other auctions of second-hand spell books, Filch's regular reminders of school rules, notes for exchanging pictures of chocolate frogs, lost and found, etc. A large signature written in red ink.

To all Hogwarts students and teachers:
In view of the fact that the current attack is still pending and the safety of the lives and properties of all teachers and students cannot be effectively guaranteed, it is now approved by Principal Albus Dumbledore and Vice-Principal McGonagall Minerva-encourage any youngsters who know clues about the attack in the secret room Wizard provides relevant information to school board investigator

If it is confirmed that the information is true and valid, a cash reward of [-] Galleons will be distributed by the school board.

Harry's face turned extremely pale, and there were a thousand Cornish elves screaming in his ears.

"This is the method of the investigator that the school board has placed high hopes on, huh?" Fred lowered his voice, mocking with anger, "Encouraging everyone to report to each other, the method is really outrageous!"

Ginny looked like she was going to cry at any moment, and Neville's whispered reminder made Harry's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

"Filch went to the third floor as soon as he saw the announcement, Harry, you have to be careful"

Harry didn't need to ask what Neville meant by being careful, and he was almost sure what Filch would say when he went to the investigator. Mrs. Norris was the first to be attacked this school year, and the last Unfortunately, Harry and the others were the first to show up at the scene of the crime, which made Filch believe that it was the three of them who caused his precious pet to turn into stone.

"Go talk to him, Harry." Ron said worriedly in his ear.

Harry understood what Ron meant. He wanted him to talk to Mr. Blaine first, before most of the little wizards in the castle reported him.

Hermione suggested the same in the school hospital last night, but Harry refused last night, for many reasons, for example, he was afraid that if he told others before every attack, he would hear a weird, scary If you quarrel and kill people with your own voice, you will be regarded as a lunatic by others.

For example, he didn't want to see that poor elf named Dobby being questioned and punished for his confession.

But besides these things, what else can he say, how can he justify himself?

Moreover, instead of telling Principal Dumbledore what he was hiding, he went to an investigator who didn't know much about it, which itself made Harry feel that something was wrong.

Harry staggered out of the hall and headed for the dormitory, not even bothering to let Malfoy laugh and inform Professor Sprout that she would be getting fresh flower fertilizers soon.

Behind him, Fred and George looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and they both saw the same thoughts as themselves in each other's eyes
