Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1218: I want to break up
Chapter 1220 I want to break up
"I hate apparating."
Harry sat on the armchair with a depressed face, reached out and took out the pressed "Daily Prophet" from under his buttocks, and sighed softly, "I didn't expect it to be more difficult to grasp than expected."
Even though the three of them had been taught by Lupine and Sirius during the holidays, their progress in learning Apparation was still not much faster than other students. Complete mastery of Apparition.
"At least your progress is much faster than mine, I just split up!"
Ron still had lingering fears about the experience of splitting his body just now. Among the three of them, Hermione learned the fastest, and they were all able to apparate, but they still couldn't use it skillfully.
"You should concentrate on learning Apparation, so that the progress will be much faster." Hermione felt that Harry and Ron's learning progress was slow, and the main reason was that they did not devote all their energy to learning Apparation. As a result, their progress is much slower than Hermione's. "
"Not everyone is like you. Apparition is indeed difficult." Harry noticed that something was wrong with Hermione, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You guys look at this."
Hermione handed Harry the "Defense Letters" magazine in her hand, and the latter looked shocked after seeing the contents.
Ron also hurried over, also a little surprised.
The "Defense Express" actually clearly pointed out that the mysterious man and the Death Eaters completely hated Albert, and seemed to plan to use black hands on those friends who had attended Albert's wedding in an attempt to find Albert who was hiding. Te, and kill him.
However, this conspiracy seems to have been unsuccessful. The Weasley brothers hid, Diggory and Truman also escaped smoothly, and cooperated with the Ministry of Magic to successfully arrest a group of dark wizards, causing heavy losses to Voldemort's minions.
At the end of the article, Sirius did not forget to remind friends who have a good relationship with Albert to be vigilant and avoid being innocently affected.
"This is clearly true."
Hermione tapped the article in the magazine with her finger, and analyzed it to Harry and Ron: "Sirius published this matter to let other people be more vigilant, and to deter the Death Eaters by the way, lest they Continue to stare at other people."
"Albert is very good at motivating hatred." Harry muttered.
"Luo Luo, your letter!"
Lavender appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly squeezed between Ron and Harry, and stretched out his arms around Ron's neck, already bringing his lips together.
"Hey, Harry, everyone wants to know when you will hold the DA party again." Parvati pretended not to see what her friend did just now, and greeted Harry with a smile.
"Wait for Lavender, I have to read the contents of the letter first." Ron was quite helpless, but Lavender had already kissed him, completely blocking his mouth.
Hermione bent down to pick up the envelope that fell on the floor, turned her head to Harry who was standing and said, "There's an empty table over there, shall we go and sit there?"
"Oh, good." Harry nodded.
"The Apparation just now is awesome, I think you will be able to fully grasp it in a short time." Parvati was going to say hello to Hermione, but was shocked to find that the other party directly opened Weasley's letter and directly Read the letter with Harry.
"We've been exposed to Apparation before, so it's normal to learn it a little faster than everyone else!" Hermione handed the letter to Harry, explaining to Parvati the reason why she could quickly master Apparation.
"Quicker?" Parvati muttered, "It's not just faster."
"Ahem, I suggest you concentrate on studying as well, and master it as much as possible within this semester, it may come in handy." Hermione quickly exchanged glances with Harry, and put the letter back.
"What was written in the letter?" Ron, who broke away from Lavender, couldn't help asking.
"Fred and George are going to hide for the time being, and I'm going to ask you for a little help." Hermione handed the envelope to Ron and said, "They say they have prepared a generous reward for you."
"You peeked at Rollo's letter." Lavender looked at the opened envelope and was very surprised by Harry and Hermione's actions.
"This thing is not considered a personal letter. It is marked on it, and most of the time it is actually addressed to Harry." Ron glanced at the special symbols on the envelope and explained to the annoying Lavender.
To be honest, Ron is a little annoyed by this clingy woman in front of him now, who wraps around him like an octopus, making him feel suffocated.
"What is not a personal letter?" Lavender asked with a frown.
"There are some things you'd better not know." Ron couldn't help but frowned. "Knowing too much is not good for you, and it may cause you to be targeted by Death Eaters and lose your life."
"Then why can she know." Lavender pointed at Hermione and asked sharply, which shocked everyone around her.
"Oh, that's because it's too late for some things. Ron and Hermione have already been involved because of my relationship, and they will definitely participate in this wizard war next." Harry interjected awkwardly: "So, Ron is actually doing it for your own good, so that you won't be targeted by Death Eaters one day, and they will search your memory or torture you with Veritaserum."
Hearing Harry's words, Lavender and Parvati were stunned for a moment. Although the Second Wizarding War had already begun, it was still incomparable to the students living in Hogwarts. distant.
The surrounding students who had their ears pricked up to eavesdrop also opened their eyes wide, extremely surprised to hear Harry say such a thing.
"You know, Voldemort wanted to kill me, and I couldn't hide in Hogwarts forever. Think about Albert, Voldemort just wanted to kill him, and it affected his friends." After Harry finished speaking, He called Hermione and Ron to leave, leaving some people who were stunned when they heard the name "Voldemort".
"Harry, you shouldn't have used that name casually." Hermione looked at Harry reproachfully, as if the other party had made a fatal mistake.
"But even if I use the honorific title, it can't change the fact that Voldemort wants to kill me." Harry shrugged and said helplessly.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about, You-Know-Who's name is taboo, not for nothing, that guy put a curse on his name, once you use it, the Death Eaters will follow Magic is at your door." Hermione warned sternly, she found that Harry had a bad habit of directly calling You-Know-Who by name.
"You have to admit that their trick is amazing." Ron couldn't help complaining, "Even a ruthless person like Anderson never directly used that name to call him."
"Okay, I'll try to change it as much as possible." Harry changed the topic and looked at Ron, "What are you going to do?"
"Accept it, what else can I do, it's a fool not to make money with Galleons."
Ron is quite satisfied with Fred and George's proposal. This is the first time he has experienced what it feels like to make money easily, which is simply great.
"Be careful of being caught by Filch." Hermione reminded with a frown, "Don't forget that you are a prefect, if you are found out, you will definitely be locked up."
"As long as you don't get caught by Filch." Ron didn't put Filch at ease, "Don't forget, that guy is a squib, and he can be easily hidden by using the Disillusionment Charm." eyes."
"As long as you're happy." Hermione didn't bother to care about it, she turned to Harry and said, "Professor Slughorn has a party recently, do you plan to attend?"
"When?"
Harry used to be completely indifferent to slug parties, but now he has to take some time to pay attention to these nasty things.
"This Friday." Hermione said without thinking.
"Hermione, can you help me think of other topics, I feel like I can't continue talking." Harry asked Hermione for help, and after getting along with him for a while, he found that Professor Slughorn It's a bit difficult to deal with, "Maybe, I should seriously consider using Albert's method."
"But does that really work?" Hermione doubted.
"We can't do it any better, can we?"
Although the method provided by Albert is a bit ruthless, it is better than staring blankly.
"Maybe, you can try to talk to Professor Slughorn about wizard wars first, so that he can have a mental preparation first, and doesn't Albert want to invite him to be a potion consultant? You can try to start from Let's start with this matter." Hermione used her brains to find a way for Harry.
"This is a way, but I can't expect everyone to be Dumbledore." Harry really didn't expect Professor Slughorn to put the overall situation first, otherwise the other party would have given that memory to Deng Bumbledore, instead of being the homework assigned to him by Dumbledore.
"You can always think of a way, not to mention you have Felicia." Ron didn't think Harry would fail.
"Felix Elixir is not a panacea, but Ron is right. Everyone has their own weaknesses, and Professor Slughorn is no exception. He can always find a way." Confidence, "Don't forget, when Dumbledore entrusted you with this task, he must think that you can complete this task."
"You guys are always more confident than me." Harry laughed at himself.
Since following Dumbledore to learn about Voldemort's secrets, Harry has thought about many things and realized the burden on his shoulders that needs to be acknowledged.
If the Horcruxes are not completely eliminated, Voldemort cannot be completely eliminated.
He actually understood why Albert only troubled the Death Eaters, but never confronted Voldemort head-on.
Because it is meaningless to target Voldemort when Voldemort cannot be killed, and the continuous weakening of the power around Voldemort is more to prepare for the mysterious person in the future.
At this moment, Lavender caught up from behind and entangled Ron directly, as if he had something to say to him.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other, tacitly leaving a space for them to communicate alone.
"By the way, Luo Luo's birthday is coming soon, what birthday present do you plan to give him?" Harry asked casually.
"Don't use that tone, it sounds disgusting." Hermione pouted and asked, "What do you think of "The Origin of Quidditch"?"
"Very good, then let me give you a Quidditch-related gift." Harry thought for a moment, and quickly chose the most suitable gift for Rollo: Quidditch goalkeeper gloves.
In this way, the two finalized the birthday present for Ron.
"We might need someone to help, though," Harry said, "I think it's better to keep it a little more public, in case someone messes with the mail package."
"Go to Ginny, or Hagrid if you can't." Hermione suggested, "I'll find time to talk to Ginny tomorrow."
The next day, Harry woke up early, left the dormitory early, and waited for someone in the common room. After seeing Ginny coming down from the girls' dormitory, he hurried forward to greet her.
"Hi Ginny."
"Harry, what's the matter?"
Ginny was surprised that Harry took the initiative to find her.
"Did Hermione tell you about that?" Harry asked tentatively.
"Which matter?" Ginny was a little confused, obviously not understanding what Harry said.
"Oh, then you don't mind if I waste a few minutes with you, I want to ask you something." Harry pointed to the corner of the common room, expressing the hope that he could have a private chat.
"Oh, no problem."
Ginny followed Harry over there to chat alone, leaving behind a group of envious female companions.
"That's right." Harry said straight to the point, "Hermione and I plan to buy Ron a birthday present, but our current situation is really not suitable for showing up to reduce the possibility of being targeted by Death Eaters."
"So, you want to ask me to help you with the owl mail order." Ginny asked with a complicated expression. She thought Harry was looking for something for her, but that's it?
"Yes, we hope you can help with purchasing." Harry looked at Ginny expectantly.
"Okay." Ginny nodded in agreement.
"That's a big thank you, here's the list of items that need to be mail-ordered, and here's the cost."
Speaking, Harry took out a note and handed it to Ginny, plus a small purse, which contained Gallon who had purchased "The Origin of Quidditch" and Quidditch goalkeeper gloves.
"By the way, remember to keep this matter a secret for me, and don't let Ron know about it." Harry walked away gratefully.
"I will."
Ginny glanced at the note Harry had given her, and stuffed it into her pocket along with the money bag.
"What did Harry want you for?" Dean popped out of nowhere.
"Are you curious?" Ginny raised her eyebrows slightly.
"I'll just ask casually."
"Harry asked me to help him buy something." Ginny didn't hide anything, "They are being targeted by Death Eaters. If they buy it themselves, they may cause trouble, so let me help him buy something."
"Buying things, but Death Eaters really know..." Before Dean finished speaking, Hermione's voice was heard.
"Ginny, I have something to ask you."
"Oh, Harry called me just now." Ginny took out a note from her pocket and showed it to Hermione, "He said please buy me something."
"Oh, then this matter will trouble you, remember to keep it a secret from Ron." Hermione returned the note to Ginny, greeted Dean and walked away.
"Here, you should believe it now."
Ginny handed the note Harry gave to Andy ~IndoMTL.com~ and said impatiently.
"That's not what I meant."
Looking at the contents of the parchment, Dean was a little embarrassed, because just like Ginny said, Harry just wanted to ask her to buy something for Ron.
"I'm just a little worried...will you be in danger?" Dean changed the subject awkwardly.
"It's nothing at all, and..." Ginny said proudly, "My family has been fighting against the mysterious man, standing with Dumbledore, and supporting Harry... "
"But, you are underage, those are too dangerous for you." Dean said with some anxiety.
"Are you scared?" Ginny raised her eyebrows slightly.
"No, I'm just... afraid that you will be hurt." Dean carefully chose his words.
"I'm not afraid."
Ginny tossed her hair, turned and walked away.
