PS: Protector of the Dharma for the book friend Rhapsody II.

As the bell rang again, the divination class was finally over.

Professor Sybil Trelawney stopped her boring and uninteresting class and announced that it was over.

The Ravenclaw and Slytherin students packed up their things and began to leave......

Sean Avery leaned over to Jon and exclaimed, "How do you know, Patrick...... I didn't even notice that I was carrying the wrong book!"

"Because I used the Confusion Charm on you......" Jon said silently in his heart.

But on the surface, he still smiled at Avery: "In the crystal ball, I saw a little bit of ......"

"I was in the crystal ball and all I saw was a burn mark on the table. Avery couldn't help but sigh: "Someone turned the candle over...... It seems that Trelawney, the old liar, is right, and sure enough, divination requires talent!"

The two walked out of the classroom together.

When passing by a table at the door—

Astoria Greengrass was saying to Tiffany Selwyn, "I'm going to the hospital and I'm worried there's something else on Professor Trelawney's crystal ball shard, so I'm going to have to go find Madam Pomfrey!"

Her voice was not small, as if it were deliberate.

"Do you want me to come with you?" asked Selwyn, concerned.

"No need...... There shouldn't be a problem!" Astoria shook her head.

Following Avery, Jon passed by her with a blank face.

......

The hall was filled with people, and at the same time there was a smell of fragrance emanating from the four long tables.

"There's pork chops at noon today!" Avery shouted excitedly.

"Oh, yes!" Jon suddenly remembered something, "I forgot my notebook in the Divination classroom!"

"Then you have to hurry!" Avery ran to the Slytherin table without looking back, "I guess I'll be eaten by someone else later!"

Hurried out of the hall, but Jon didn't return to the divination classroom...... Instead, they quickened their pace and rushed to the school hospital.

Along the way, he kept an eye out for the students he met along the way, but unfortunately he didn't find Astoria.

As he walked to the entrance of the school hospital, Jon suddenly heard a conversation coming from inside—

"It's just a shallow wound, it's no problem to bandage it!" Madam Pomfrey's voice came from inside, "But be careful, you're a wizard, how can you be scratched by a crystal ball......"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Hearing the latter voice, Jon quickly stopped.

Dozens of seconds later, a familiar figure walked out of the school hospital.

Astoria Greengrass also stopped.

There were only two of them at the entrance of the school hospital...... It was the first time in a few days that they had met alone.

Jon was thinking about whether to take off the ring...... However, Madam Pomfrey could come out of it at any time, and students from the school could come at any time, and if they found out, Jon had to consider using the Oblivion Charm.

So, he eventually gave up on the idea.

"Wait for me in the Forbidden Forest after class in the afternoon!" Astoria walked over suddenly, and then passed by Jon with a blank face, "If you know where!"

Then, without looking back, she walked towards the castle.

......

At lunchtime, Jon was in a good mood.

Although the pork chops have already been eaten up by other students.

This joy continued into the Transfiguration class in the afternoon, where Gryffindor and Slytherin took together.

Professor Minerva-McGonagall is as stern as ever.

"You're entering an important period of your magical education!" she told them, her eyes shining majestically behind the square lenses. LS exams are approaching—"

“. Aren't LS exams two years away?" whispered Colin Creevey of Gryffindor.

But he only dared to whisper a few words...... No student dared to question Professor McGonagall in class.

This Transfiguration class is about turning a guinea fowl into a guinea pig.

Professor McGonagall brought a whole large cage of guinea fowl...... And one was given to each person. This makes the classroom noisy.

It's a cumbersome transfiguration technique, and it took Jon more than ten minutes to master it for the first time (he was bored in London during the summer vacation and read the Intermediate Transfiguration Guide from cover to cover).

By the end of the lesson, apart from Jon, only Gryffindor's Ginny Weasley had succeeded...... But her guinea pig still had feathers on it.

Professor McGonagall looked unhappy, and she gave homework to all the students except Jon and Ginny: "Give an example of how Transfiguration must be adjusted when transitioning across species. ”

......

The next Defence Against the Dark Arts class was equally unpleasant.

While the real Alastor Moody is not as crazy as the fake Alastor Moody (it is also true to say that they are fake Barty Crouch Jr. and real Barty Crouch).

Their Defence Against the Dark Arts class was spent at the Quidditch pitch, which Moody seemed to have converted into a muddy bath.

In Moody's words, they need to be trained in camouflage, stealth, and physical fitness...... in order to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the dark wizard.

"Are we wizards or thieves......" Jon murmured in his heart.

He didn't disagree with Moody's views...... After all, when it comes to dealing with dark wizards, Mad Eye Moody is an expert.

By the end of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Jon, too, was exhausted.

And he was in relatively good shape, and there were a few Slytherin students who were so tired that they couldn't speak.

Luckily, Mad-Eye Moody used a cleansing charm on everyone at the end of class...... Otherwise, they would have to go to the bathroom and take a shower in the mud.

......

The two classes in the afternoon were over, and Jon hadn't forgotten the appointment he had made with Astoria at noon.

Astoria should also remember that as soon as the Defence Against the Dark Arts class was over, she was gone.

Dragging his somewhat tired body, he hurried to the Forbidden Forest.

The forest where the tree protector was, Jon soon knew...... And I saw them in the trees from afar.

Jon thought for a moment and took off the iron ring in his hand.

He appeared at Hogwarts for the first time in his true form.

Coming to a tree, Jon gently reached out and let one of the trees inside climb onto his hand.

Footsteps rang out from behind him, approaching.

Jon looked back and pursed his lips.

"Are you so happy, Mr. Hart?" asked Astoria Greengrass, with a bit of a tear.
