Harry Potter dragged his lead-soaked legs and walked towards the Gryffindor common room with a tired face.

Today is the eve of Halloween...... There was an enticing smell of roasted pumpkin in the hallway, but Harry had barely any appetite at this point.

Walking into the Gryffindor common room, Harry saw bats fluttering across the walls and ceiling, hovering and dancing above the couch like low clouds and flickering the candle flames in the pumpkin's belly.

Now, he's not interested in any of these things either.

"Hey, Harry!" someone greeted Harry.

"Hey......" Harry replied weakly, then up the spiral staircase back to his quarters.

As soon as he threw away his wand, he collapsed on the bed like a dead pig.

"Harry......" roommate Neville Longbottom happened to pass by, and the clumsy-looking boy straightened his collar and said, "The Halloween dinner is about to begin, and it is said that this year's banquet is extraordinarily rich, and in order to boost everyone's morale, Professor Dumbledore has specially invited the Skull Band......"

"Whew...... ...... "Neville was answered only by a faint snort.

"Oh my God, he fell asleep like that?" Neville said in disbelief.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally decided that it was better not to disturb Harry.

Tired...... Exhaustion...... Excruciating pain......

For Harry Potter, this life has been going on for almost two weeks......

In addition to his usual classes, he now needs to undergo additional "Occlumency" training with Severus Snape, the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Professor Snape behaved very differently than he had last semester, in the "Occlumency" class three times a week. He'd go crazy and use the "Dementor" magic to destroy Harry's brain...... So much so that at the end of the first few lessons, Harry had to vomit in the bathroom for ten minutes before leaving.

Later, I got used to spitting and spitting, but the physical exhaustion will not disappear in a vacuum......

Harry deeply suspected that Severus Snape did it on purpose!

As for the results of the practice of "Occlumency...... Who knows, in short, I may have mastered it a little better than half a year ago...... In the past few months, he's never had the same frequent nightmares about Voldemort as he did last year.

Harry...... Harry ......" a hurried cry woke Harry from his sleep.

It was Ron Weasley, and in his hazy gaze, Harry saw that Ron's neck was covered in kiss marks...... To be precise, it is more appropriate to describe the traces of "gnawing".

"Hey, man......" Ron whispered, "Snape did it again?"

Harry didn't want to make a sound, just lay down and nodded.

"Looking at how you've been for the past two weeks, I even suspect that Snape has bad intentions......" Ron said thoughtfully, "Did you go tell Professor Dumbledore?"

"Professor Dumbledore hasn't been at the school for the past two weeks......" Harry said weakly, "That's what the stone monster at the door of his office told me......"

"Well, when he comes back, you'll have to go and complain to him. Ron patted Harry on the shoulder, "By the way, Halloween dinner, let's go over together...... It is said that this year is extraordinarily rich!"

"I don't want to eat anything right now......" Harry made a strange sound in his throat, "You go alone......"

"Okay......" Ron nodded and muttered:

"What the hell is Halloween this year...... Hermione doesn't go to dinner, and neither do you...... But it's good ......."

Rolls-Royce...... Hurry up......" Lavender Brown's voice was already ringing from outside the dorm.

"Okay, right away. Ron hurriedly replied, "Harry, get some rest." ”

......

The Halloween dinner was a great opportunity to bring at least most of the teachers and students of the school together in the auditorium.

Of course, some of the minor injuries in the school hospital, as well as Madam Pomfrey, and of course Miss Daphne Greengrass, all went to the Great Hall for the banquet.

Jon Hart is a rare opportunity to walk in the gardens of the school hospital with Astoria Greengrass before the sun goes down.

It was approaching dusk, and a few faint rays of light flashed at the end of the sky......

Astoria threw her cane to the ground, refusing Jon's support and walking cautiously forward, small steps after small steps......

"One, two, three......" Jon whispered to her, "Eight, nine, ten!

Hurriedly trotted over, grabbed her, and helped her sit back on the bench.

They were now next to a large stone carved reindeer, and they could see the high fountain splashing and sparkling over it.

Astoria reached out and felt the fountain splash on her hand, smiling as she said, "It's all your work, Jon...... What the hell was that crystal bottle of liquid that you secretly gave me to drink? Even Madam Pomfrey was amazed at how quickly I recovered, and she said she had never seen anyone recover so quickly from such a weak state!"

Of course, after all, very few people can meet a phoenix that can produce tears. Jon thought to himself.

However, on his face, he still shook his head gently towards Astoria, indicating secrecy.

Astoria pouted slightly: "I hate it, you hide everything from me......"

But her body leaned a little tighter against Jon.

"Madam Pomfrey said that at this rate, it would take just over a month for my body to fully recover!" Astoria continued.

"In a little over a month, it's almost exactly the Christmas holidays!" Jon said with a smile, "When the Christmas break is over, you can go back to Hogwarts, just like before!"

"Go to school......" Astoria murmured, as if the word was so alien and distant to her...... Then, she shook her head slightly: "No, I haven't signed up for this school year...... We never thought I would be completely healthy in such a short period of time......"

"Of course there's no problem!" Jon said with a confident face, "Wrap it up on me......"

However, he quickly added, "I will go and ask Professor Dumbledore for ......"

"Yes!" Astoria blinked, "Professor Dumbledore would have agreed to such a gentle man." ”

An enticing aroma of roasted pumpkin wafted into the garden.

Astoria sniffed and said, "It smells so good......"

"Don't worry, Daphne will definitely bring you lots and lots of good food later!" Jon comforted him.

"By the way......" Astoria seemed to remember something, "My sister told me the other day that the campus is now guarded by Aurors everywhere...... Jon, how did you sneak into the school to see me?"

"Because I know a lot of secret passages to the school, do you remember how we got in through the pig's head pub?" Jon said with a smile.

"No!" Astoria still shook her head, "Jon, you'd better do less dangerous things like this, if Mr. Filch or the Aurors find out and hurt you as a bad person, it will be a bad thing......"

"It's okay!" Jon comforted, touching her head.

At this moment, a strange bird call came from outside the garden.

Jon Hart's face changed, and then he whispered, "I'm sorry, I have something to do later, it's time to leave!"

Astoria glanced at Jon with some reluctance, but still nodded.

"Be careful on the road!"

"Don't worry!"

......

Returning Astoria to the hospital room, Jon walked out of the school hospital and out into the garden.

A big bright red bird is swaggering along here, with a mandrake leaf in its mouth.

"Let's go, Fawkes, it's time for us to go!" Jon said, "It's time to go to Durmstrang!"

The phoenix glanced at Jon haughtily, as if to say, "I've been ready for a long time, and you've been there for a long time."

Only then did it turn and aim its tail feathers at Jon.

Jon grabbed her by the tail, and then, all he felt was darkness.

All that filled his eyes was a mixture of bright red and gold.
