"Is anyone we know dead?" asked Ron in a tone that was pretending to be casual.

Every time Hermione opened the newspaper, he had to ask the question.

Since the summer vacation, tragic things have been happening every day, making people nervous, and everyone is more concerned with the current situation in the wizarding world, but Ron himself does not subscribe to the newspaper, and Lavender does not subscribe either, so his source of information is Hermione, and then he will repeat it to Lavender.

Every morning, Hermione would read the important news of the day to a few of them.

Sometimes, Neville, Ginny, and Colin would come over to listen to her read the newspaper and make a few comments.

"There were no dead people, but there were reports of Dementor attacks. Hermione said, "Also, there's another person arrested. ”

"Great, who is it?" asked Harry immediately, probably the best news he'd heard in recent times.

Although the events of the Ministry of Magic last semester weakened Voldemort by capturing many important Death Eaters in Azkaban, there were still many that slipped through the net, and Evan and Harry were not the only Death Eaters they met at Voldemort's resurrection ceremony that day.

Not to mention, Voldemort's power has been growing lately.

"Stan Sanpark. Hermione said.

"What?"

"How could it be him?"

"What did he do with the Knight Bus Conductor?" asked Aven, remembering the young man with pimples on his face, who he understood to have a great sense of humor and a great penchant for bragging, big talk, and showmanship.

Sampak did get into a lot of trouble, but if he was a Death Eater, Evan didn't believe it.

Voldemort wasn't recruited by any wizard, and as his most elite troops, the Death Eaters had an extremely high selection threshold.

If even a guy like Sampark was allowed to join, it would be too much to underestimate Voldemort.

"Stan Sanpark!" Hermione reads, "the famous Knight Bus conductor, arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activities. Mr. Sampak, 21 years old, was detained by the Aurors last night after raiding his home in the Krapen district......"

"He can't be a Death Eater!" Hermione had barely finished reading before Harry made a judgment.

"If he is, it's probably the dumbest Death Eater I've ever seen!" Elaine said.

"I guess I've been under the Imperius curse. Ron reasonably, "It's a matter of not being sure!"

"He's just a conductor on the knight's bus, there's no point in controlling him. Evan shook his head.

"That's right, it says he was arrested after someone heard him talking about the Death Eaters' secret plan in a tavern. Hermione looked up, a distressed expression on her face, "It's stupid to discuss the Death Eater's secret plan in front of so many people, if he had been caught in the Imperius Curse, he wouldn't be able to go around talking to people about their plans, wouldn't he?"

"So, it's still bragging. Evan said.

The first time he saw Sampark was when he had just turned into a cat and couldn't change back with Harry.

Anyway, Sampark's impression on Evan was that she couldn't even tell the priorities.

"I really don't understand what they're doing to take Stan's words seriously. Harry said disgruntled.

"I guess I want everyone to see what they're doing, but now people are panicking. Hermione said with a frown, putting down the newspaper in her hand, "Don't care about what the Ministry of Magic is doing, let's talk about the school." I told Evan last night about Hannah Abbott being called out in herbal medicine class......"

Hermione did talk to Evan about it last night when she was alone.

Because after that, they never saw Hannah again.

Badge contacted Ernie to confirm that Hannah had not returned to the Hufflepuff common room, as well as sad news.

"What's wrong with Hannah? Where is she now?"

"She's left Hogwarts, and Hufflepuff has spread the word that her mother was killed......," Hermione whispered.

Evan glanced at the Hufflepuff table, where the atmosphere seemed as gloomy as the weather outside.

A lot of people were whispering with their heads down, and they must be talking about Hannah.

A murder that happened next to him, the murder of the student's parents, was far more shocking than what I saw in the newspapers, and the incident had not yet spread in the school, so it did not cause panic, but it was also a matter of time, this kind of thing could not be hidden at Hogwarts.

"This is just the beginning, I heard last night that Parvati said that her parents were going to take her and her sister Padma back to India. Hufflepuff's Eloise Midgan, she's already quit and will leave today, and ......"

"Wait, Hermione, we don't know what you're talking about!" Ron said, staring at Hermione with wide eyes.

"Because you and Harry are all focused on Quidditch, you don't notice the changes. "Anyway, a lot of students in the school are thinking about dropping out right now, and I dare say that's just the beginning." ”

"Why would they do that? Anyway, Hogwarts is safer than their home, there's no doubt about it! We've got the Aurors, we've added so many protective charms, and Dumbledore!"

"No, I don't think he's always with us. Hermione lowered her voice and glanced at the teacher's seat, "Didn't you notice? His seat has been as empty as Hagrid since school started. ”

"Yes, he's not here, Dumbledore has a lot to deal with, and the Order of the Phoenix needs to organize things as well. "However, he should be back tonight, because he asked Harry and I to go to his office." ”

"Dumbledore will come back in time, the key is what this event represents. Hermione continued, "Aven, I thought about the recent events before I went to bed last night, and I think your point of view is correct, Dumbledore is often absent from school, and the current situation is very serious, which may have something to do with that......

Aside from the changes inside the school, what Evan and Hermione said last night was the magic and information that Slytherin had left behind.

Both of them were in the cavern beneath the vampire fortress at the time, and Hermione had recorded some of the ancient scripts on the rock wall, which, after a period of decipherment, seemed to be related to the last evil brain that Slytherin had taken away......

Dumbledore should have known about these things, but he didn't tell Evan anything.

If he's going to solve the problem on his own, could this be the reason why his right arm is covered in incantations?!

The conversation ended with the arrival of Lavender and Parvati, who were Parvade's best friends at school, and if the parents of the Petyr twins wanted them to leave Hogwarts, they might not see each other again for a long time, as Hermione said......
