Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 168: Mysterious Miss Granger


The article by Rita Skeeter about the Triwizard Tournament was finally published.

It can be seen that she ignored Maca, which should have been a book and book, to the greatest extent. In this article, the information about Maca is limited to one name.

Correspondingly, Harry is a little bit doomed-this is not so much a report on the situation of the tournament, it is more a portrayal of Harry's personal life.

Much of the first page of the newspaper was occupied by a photo of Harry, and the whole article was filled with the second, sixth, and seventh pages, all about Harry.

The above content is of course false, but I have to say that those things seem to be very eye-catching and will cause various misunderstandings to unknowing people.

As for Fleur Delacour of Busbarton, her name and Maca were squeezed into the last line of the article, and even her name was misspelled.

To talk about the specific content of the article, in addition to those unwarranted speculations and strange descriptions, a certain paragraph of the content makes Her very sensitive and very uncomfortable.

This is what Rita Skeeter wrote:

"... Harry finally found his first love at Hogwarts. His close friend Colin Crevey said that Harry was inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger—— Yes, she is the famous fourth warrior in this competition. Miss Granger is amazingly beautiful and was born into a Muggle family. Like Harry, she is also one of the top students in the school."

This narrative is not too informative, presumably Rita Skeeter just wanted to add a little pink lace to the article to make it look more gimmicky.

This is just one of countless daily routines about Harry's life, but it makes Hermione totally intolerable.

If it were in the past, she might just ignore it—that's not true anyway, it doesn't matter to her. But now, after she discovered her mind, this text became very eye-catching.

"Amazingly beautiful? She?" After Rita's article was published, Slytherin's Pansy Parkinson said weirdly when meeting Hermione for the first time, "How did she judge— -Chipmunk?"

"Be quiet, Pansy!" another girl exaggeratedly said, "She is the savior's girlfriend!"

Then the Slytherin girls giggled.

Hermione was shaking with anger, but when she heard this, the first thing she did was to look around. The Slytherin girls couldn't help laughing more happily when they saw her look of guilty conscience.

"Harry and I are just friends!" Hermione yelled angrily, and hurried away immediately.

She can't let Maca hear these unreasonable rumors, even if she thinks that Maca would never believe such nonsense. But...

"Oh—what's wrong with me, I need to calm down." Hermione retracted into the bedroom again, and she decided not to go out if it wasn't necessary.

If someone makes fun of her again... what if they happen to run into Maca when they call her "the savior's girlfriend" again... what should I do?

Hermione feels that she has always panicked lately, which is a bit bad, obviously Maca has reminded her to be careful. Now this state...

"Um..." Hermione scratched her hair boredly, "Maca again."

……

On the Saturday before the start of the first project, the school approved students in the third grade and above to visit Hogsmeade Village. Hermione said to Harry that it might make him feel better to relax outside the castle.

Actually, Harry wanted to go out and relax. She didn't need her to persuade him.

"But, where's Ron?" he asked, "Don't you want to go with him?"

"Oh...that's it..." Hermione flushed slightly, "I think you can meet him at the Three Broomsticks Bistro..."

"No way! I don't want to...wait," Harry said strangely, "Aren't you going with me?"

"No, I...I still have something to do." Hermione hesitated.

"What's the matter?" Harry said, "I can do it with you, you know, I just want to relax, nothing else."

"No way!"

Hermione yelled out subconsciously, and was taken aback by her own voice. She looked around, and then continued: "No, I mean...Some things can only be done by me..."

But Harry said dullly: "Then I will be alone again...that's awesome!"

Hermione looked up helplessly, she thought for a while, and then reluctantly said: "Okay, okay... Then you must keep quiet and don't ask anything!"

She repeated it again with an emphasis on her tone, "Remember, don't ask anything!"

"Why—" Harry asked halfway subconsciously, seeing that anger appeared on Hermione's face immediately, and he couldn't help but hold the words back into his stomach.

"—I don't ask, I don't ask anything." He changed his words immediately.

In this way, Harry put on his invisibility cloak in the dormitory, went downstairs, and set off to Hogsmeade with Hermione.

Harry felt particularly at ease under the invisibility cloak.

As they walked into the village, Harry watched the other classmates pass by them. Although there were no ugly comments against him, no one quoted the words in that stupid article.

But Harry found that many people were watching Hermione pointing.

"What are they talking about—"

"Stop talking, don't ask anything!" Hermione quickly blocked Harry's question.

They soon came to the door of Duke Bee's Candy Store. Whenever they came back to Hogsmeade, they would definitely go there first. But this time, Hermione skipped this place without even looking, and continued on.

Harry really wanted to ask why, but due to the situation of the first two episodes, he finally resisted it.

When they passed by the Joko Magic Joke Shop again, Harry found that Hermione had stopped in front of the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.

"Wait here!" Hermione dropped the words quietly, and ran in like a gust of wind.

Harry stood at the door and blinked inexplicably, then looked inside inexplicably.

"Uh...I'm still wearing a cloak of invisibility, she can't see it." He hesitated in place, but after all he couldn't hold back his curiosity, he opened the door cautiously and followed in.

"Dingling--"

An abrupt doorbell slammed Harry's footsteps.

"Oops!"

He didn't dare to take a breath, but in the next second, he was staggered by something.

"Ouch! What's in front?" There was a voice from behind Harry, and he ran forward two steps quickly, hiding behind a standing coat hanger with a coat on it.

At the same time, Hermione, who was talking to the owner in the shop, hurried to the door-she thought Harry had sneaked in!

But what she saw was a middle-aged witch.

"Oh...madam, what's the matter with you?" Hermione said as she looked at her left and right.

"Um... it's okay, thank you." The witch smiled, glanced at the door suspiciously, and then walked inside.

"Harry, have you come in yet?" Hermione asked softly, but received no answer.

Of course Harry wouldn't say anything. If he said it now, it would be a waste of the coincidence just now. Besides, no one would take the initiative to rush to find curse, would they?

However, Hermione turned her head suddenly and grabbed Harry in one fell swoop.

"How did you know--" Harry lowered his voice in surprise.

But Hermione didn't mean to explain to him at all, she opened the store door and pushed Harry out directly.

"Does your coat arch by itself when it is on the hanger..." She whispered and hurried back to the store.

"Does she want to buy clothes?" Harry stood outside the door, looking at the clothes displayed in the window, questioningly, "But...the clothes here look quite expensive."

After a while, Hermione finally came out.

The two walked in silence for a while, and finally Harry couldn't help but speak.

"That... sorry, just now--"

"Stop talking!" Hermione said grumpily, "Well, please take off the invisibility cloak for a while, no one here will trouble you."

"Oh, really?" Harry said, "Look behind you."

Rita Skeeter and her photographer friend just came out of the Three Broomsticks Bistro. They were talking in low voices, and they walked past Hermione without even looking at her.

Instead, Hermione clenched her fists and glared at her back angrily.

Harry was afraid that Rita Skeeter's crocodile leather bag would touch him, so he quickly dodged under the wall of Honey Duke's candy store.

After the two left, Harry said: "She is still in the village. I dare say she will definitely come to watch the first event."

As soon as he spoke, he felt a fierce panic passing through his heart, but he didn't say it~IndoMTL.com~ He and Hermione rarely talk about what the first event will be.

He always felt that Hermione seemed reluctant to consider this matter.

"She's gone," Hermione said, her eyes penetrating Harry, staring at the end of the street. "Let's go to the Three Broomsticks Tavern for a glass of butter beer, how about it? It's a bit cold, isn't it?"

Harry didn't speak up, she felt as if she was talking to the air.

"Just go for a drink, you don't need to talk to Ron!" She guessed the reason why he didn't speak, and said irritably.

The Three Broomsticks Tavern was crowded with people, mainly Hogwarts students, all enjoying this afternoon's freedom, but there were also many magical people of all kinds that Harry rarely saw elsewhere. .

It is worth mentioning that they saw Maca in the corner. At this moment, he was chatting casually with Minister of Magic Fudge, still holding a large glass of Butterbeer in his hand.

"...Don't worry, you have done everything that should be done, just wait." Maca raised his glass to Fudge and said calmly.
