Chapter 40: The First Day of School
While Holly and Erinka were communicating in the hallway about what they had just discovered in the Headmaster's room, Harry Potter was in an awkward state in the Gryffindor common room......
Seamus Finigan seems to have been a little too influenced by his mother, or maybe Harry Potter was a little too reactive to any claims that questioned him and Dumbledore. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Seamus mentioned the Daily Prophet's comments on Harry and Dumbledore, Harry's reaction was quite strong...... It's just that he didn't know how to refute Seamus, and even because of the prefect badge on his chest, he didn't dare to fight with Seamus to vent his inner dissatisfaction.
It has to be said that the trend of public opinion in the wizarding world has changed quite a bit during the holidays...... Harry, who had always believed that Dumbledore was omnipotent, was also a little powerless.
Fortunately, he had people around him who supported him – Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom were among them.
However, the denigration of Harry and Dumbledore by the Daily Prophet still made Harry a little uncomfortable. Even though he had expected such a situation, Harry still felt uncomfortable for a while.
As the night wore on, the noise of the quarrel in the Gryffindor boys' dormitory had subsided......
The next day, early in the morning. Holly was at the long table in the auditorium ahead of the vast majority. Toast bread with a glass of hot cocoa. It's just that he didn't look at the newspaper as usual, and the situation of the Daily Prophet, Holly had long foreseen that even in the near future, the attack on Dumbledore might intensify.
No one can organize someone who is close to going mad, can they? All Holly can do is make Fudge point the finger more at Dumbledore than at Harry Potter in the process.
Any high-profile news about Harry Potter is likely to continue to reveal his identity. Even if you have the ability to protect yourself, you don't want to live in the spotlight all day long and be targeted by others.
"Give. The twin brothers didn't know when they suddenly appeared behind Holly, and a locket appeared in front of Holly's eyes from above.
"Well, that's it. Holly closed his eyes and took a closer look, and a familiar sensation came from the box, the one he had found in Grimmauld Place.
"This ......," Holly pulled out the Marauder map out of thin air, "send Harry Potter back, without this thing, I guess he could have moved directly to the Closed Room this year." ”
"How did this end up in your hands?" the twin brothers asked, since giving Harry the map, the two of them had been playing pranks a lot less often at school, one was that the two of them had grown up, and they were not so interested in those low-intensity pranks, and the consequences of high-intensity pranks were not under their control for the time being, and on the other hand, because of the lack of this map, the two of them needed to be more careful when choosing the right place when pranks, so as not to be caught by the teachers.
"You can use it if you want to get it by chance, but ...... I think someone needs it more than you. ”
"Oh, yes...... We need to promote, right, promote...... Many of the things themselves are designed for students, and in the existing outlets, those things can't be sold at all...... "The two brothers said that the situation is very realistic, and no parent will give their children gold to buy those prank props or supplies used to skip class.
"You want to get it in school?"
"Must-have ......"
"Then let's get it. ”
"But ......"
"But what's the responsibility?"
"That's right. ”
"Who told you to sell it yourself? Find a few unrelated people, and they will be responsible. ”
"Hmm...... Good idea...... the two brothers looked at each other, and immediately turned away to deal with the matter.
In the dining room, Holly held the locket box in his hand, looked carefully in a few directions, and threw it casually, and the box disappeared into the air.
It didn't take long for the students of the brigade to come out of their dormitories and come to the auditorium to prepare for their breakfast.
On the first day of the new school year, everyone was still in a good mood, at least much better than when everyone got the class schedule for the new semester.
The Ravenclaw timetable was handed out by Professor Flitwick, but for Holly and Erinka, the timetable was customized, at least not like their classmates, where the various classes were intertwined.
At least Holly's class schedule is more calculated in half-day units, such as Potions class, Holly directly uses an afternoon to attend two different grade classes in succession. It's just that...... At least for Umbridge's Defence Against the Dark Arts course, Holly still needs to do something this year, compared to McGonagall, Flitwick, or Snape and Professor Sprout, who have been teaching at school for many years and are more "talkative", the situation of Umbridge, an outsider, is still a little more special.
It's just that...... For Holly, the Defence Against the Dark Arts course can no longer attract Holly's interest, whether it is Lupin in the third grade or Barty Crouch Jr. in the fourth grade, they have already taught Holly the magic spells that Holly needs to master in the higher wizard level exam, and as for Holly's other mastery, it will not participate in the calculation.
It can only be said that Holly's strength and experience are enough to deal with most situations, as for the few special circumstances, there seems to be no way to conceive, at least Holly can't pull one of Dumbledore or the Dark Lord out to fight to the death with himself, isn't it.
"Alas...... Would you like to talk to Fudge so we don't have Defence Against the Dark Arts class?" Erinka sat down beside Holly, and as she got the timetable, she put down the cup full of coffee heavily.
"Why don't you go?"
"What do you think that toad can teach?"
"She can't teach anything, and I even doubt that she can put down a third-grader by herself. ”
"So what are you going to do......
"Umbridge won't let go of this opportunity to toss Harry Potter, especially after Dumbledore has refuted her face at the hearing. ”
"Oh? Looks kind of interesting...... However, someone who can get to this position must be a bit of a city, right?" asked Erinka incredulously.
"Not necessarily...... It's a bit of a city, and it takes all sorts of things to go through, and I don't think a down-and-out witch who went from being nothing to being a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts in three months, what could she learn in the process?" Holly's words were filled with disdain for Umbridge.
