With the end of the Easter holidays, the rainy weather of the previous days has also come to an end, and the sky has been clear and clear for several days, the temperature is gradually warming, and there is a smell of summer in the air.

At the same time, it also means that this school year, which has been full of many accidents, has come to an end.

The news of Voldemort's departure from England was undoubtedly very encouraging...... Many parents of students who had brought their children home brought their children back to Hogwarts Castle to continue their studies at Hogwarts, despite the general lack of trust in the new Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Howling letters were still being sent in a steady stream, but Jon Hart, as the Headmaster, had not received any of them, and all of the bad letters had been disposed of by the stone monster at the door of the Headmaster's office.

The students at Hogwarts, on the other hand, are preparing for their annual final exams...... Although there was an accident such as the death of the principal, the exam was not canceled, which has to be said to be terrible news......

Miss Hermione Granger had already made her revision plan and marked all her notes with different colors...... Although the final exams for 6th grade were not as important as those for 5th and 7th grades, due to some accidents, she had several weeks less revision time this year, which made her feel a little anxious at times and spent most of her time in the library.

Her two friends, however, apparently didn't care about the final exams, they cared more about the incident that Jon Hart had mentioned at the Order of the Phoenix party on Easter.

"What the hell did he tell you to do?" Ron Weasley asked with some eagerness, throwing the quill in his hand, "Hart, the new headmaster who is younger than me...... God knows why Professor Dumbledore chose him. ”

Although Harry Potter on the side didn't look up, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Hermione Granger just shook her head, then replied softly, "He instructed me in the letter not to tell anyone about this for a while......"

"Not even me......" Harry looked up in disappointment, "I'm also a member of the Order of the Phoenix...... And I promise I won't tell anyone else about it......"

"Sorry, not really, Harry. Hermione shook her head again, "Still, I think you'll find out soon." ”

As she spoke, Hermione sorted out her books and stood up, "I'll be out of company for a while." ”

With that, she walked quickly out of the library.

"Hermione is getting weird!" Ron whispered, scratching his head.

"yes!" Harry Potter agreed, "It's the first time I've seen her leave the library so early." ”

......

Miss Hermione Granger, who left the library, did not return directly to the Gryffindor common room.

Once back on the eighth floor of the castle, she turned around and began to head in the direction of the headmaster's office.

Five minutes later, she arrived at her destination, standing in front of the huge, ugly stone monster.

"Password?" asked the statue in a majestic voice.

"No one knows magic better than I do. ”

Hermione remembered for a moment, and quickly uttered the strange password Jon Hart had given her in the letter.

A creak was heard, and the statue shifted a position to the right side, revealing the spiraling staircase behind it.

Hermione felt for the glass bottle in her pocket before walking up the automatic spiral staircase...... At the top of this spiral staircase. She saw a gleaming oak door, and a brass knocker in the shape of a badger's head.

However, the oak door was hidden, and there was a conversation in the principal's office, and there seemed to be a guest inside.

Hermione felt that it was not easy for her to enter, so she waited patiently at the door, listening to the voices coming from inside.

......

"Welcome, welcome back to Hogwarts, Horace. Looking at the haggard old man in front of him, Jon, who was sitting in his office chair, looked up and said with a smile.

"Oh, Headmaster Hart......" said Horace-Slughorn, haggard, "thank you so much......"

The once bloated walrus, after being brought in by Azkaban for a while, managed to lose a lot of weight and became extremely weak.

However, on his face, he could still see the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"Thank you so much, Headmaster Hart...... Thank you so much...... If it weren't for you speaking for me at the interrogation that day...... I don't know if I'll ever see the sun again tomorrow. His voice seemed a little hysterical.

"You're welcome, Professor Slughorn. Jon smiled and said, "That's what I'm supposed to do, we didn't know much before, but you're a Hogwarts teacher, and I'm just telling the truth." ”

"Anyway, you were the one who rescued me from Azkaban...... Slughorn smiled sincerely, "If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ......"

"Coincidentally, Horace. Jon blinked suddenly, "I need your help with something right now. ”

The "sincere" smile on Slughorn's face froze instantly.

"Here's the situation. Jon didn't care about the other party's emotions, and continued to say directly: "The Order of the Phoenix has recently discussed a matter, and is going to publicize the deeds of the Order of the Phoenix through some media......

"Yes...... But...... It doesn't have anything to do with me...... Professor Slughorn stammered, "I'm not...... Members of the Order of the Phoenix......"

"Oh, yes!" Jon patted his head and added, "I've just heard that you have a good relationship with Barnabas Gufe, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet......"

Slughorn was visibly relieved, patted his chest and said proudly, "Of course, Barnabas is one of my proudest students, and he respects me and often writes to me asking for my thoughts on the current situation......"

"That's why I'm coming to you, Professor. Jon smiled and replied, "After all, I don't know many people in the wizarding world......"

“...... Also, in view of your relationship with Mr. Barnabas-Gufe, I would like to promote you as an example of a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Jon continued nonchalantly.

The smile on Slughorn's face froze for the second time.

"What are you talking about, Headmaster Hart......" he tried to put on a surprised expression, "I'm not a member of the Order of the Phoenix......"

"There's no need to join the Order of the Phoenix. Jon said casually, "And it's just propaganda, erecting a model...... Horace Slughorn, the great wizard who lurks inside the Death Eaters...... Sounds admirable, doesn't it......"

Without looking at Slughorn, who was completely stunned, Jon snapped his fingers.

Fawkes, who had already grown half of her feathers, flew out of her perch and into Jon's hands.

"By the way, Professor Slughorn. Jon said slowly, "There's one more thing I need to tell you...... Professor Dumbledore didn't leave any orders at all...... During the previous interrogation at the Ministry of Magic, the evidence I submitted was only forged as a last resort......"

"Headmaster Hart......" Slughorn took a deep breath and said with a serious face, "For what you said earlier, I will contact Panabas as soon as possible...... And I've been looking forward to joining the Order of the Phoenix......"

"That's great, Horace. Jon smiled again.

"If there's nothing to do, I'll take my leave...... I've got to prepare for Potions class......"

Slughorn dropped a sentence and stumbled out of the headmaster's office.

He seemed to be in a trance, and he didn't even see Hermione behind the door.

......

Hermione Granger stood outside the principal's office door at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Just then, she heard Jon Hart's voice coming from inside the house:

"Please come in, Miss Granger!"
