Chapter 423: I have to go back
While Hermione was enjoying the Christmas holidays, the Granger couple also took the vacation "according to plan", and Darren had a good time in the United States with them, and if someone hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have wanted to go back to Hogwarts, how nice it would have been to stay here!, especially when he thought about having to face the No. 1 bear child, Darren felt that he had severe "Monday syndrome", but wizards had no psychology, otherwise Snape would have known that he should find someone to counsel......
But no matter how much Darren struggled, he still had to go back to school, otherwise Hermione would have to go back alone, and when they walked into the doors of Hogwarts, the sun had already set on the horizon, and the field was covered with thick snow, which made the two of them feel so abrupt when they had just returned from sunny America!
This time Darren saw Filch conducting a security check, and he swept the student all over the body with a probe, not missing a single place, no wonder Hermione thought that no one could get an object with dark magic into Hogwarts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luckily, Hogwarts was able to cast magic, and Darren used his magic to move the thick snow in front of him to the sides, clearing a path for Hermione to move forward, and of course, other students could use it as well.
However, as they approached the fat lady, Darren looked at the fat lady on the door, and he felt that the pre-holiday password must have been replaced, "worthless," so let's give it a try.
"Not true. "Sure enough......
Darren turned to Hermione, "Looks like we'll have to wait here and see who knows the new password." As he spoke, he conjured a chair with his wand and motioned for Hermione to sit down.
"Well," Hermione nodded, "you ......" She saw that Darren had prepared a handful for herself at this time, so she sat down, and in one day, flying halfway around the world, even just sitting, was very draining.
After a while, someone came up the stairs, it was Harry, and Ron and Ginny, and Darren remembered that they had said that they would go to the Burrow for Christmas during the holidays, "Hey, you're here too," he said first.
"Hi Darren! Hello, Hermione!"
"Hello, how was Christmas......"
After a few pleasantries, "Why are you sitting here," Harry asked, "is it a prefect......" he looked at Hermione.
"After the holidays, they changed the password, we just came back, I don't know," Darren said.
"What! But we're out of school, how do we know ......?"
"They must have told someone, so I'm waiting here. β

Fortunately, Darren's judgment was correct, and after a while, Dean came over and told them the new password, which was, "Quit drinking".
"Correct," said the fat lady, who had heard the correct command, and unscrewed her body to reveal the hole in the portrait.
"What's wrong with her?" asked Harry.
"I've heard she's crazy about Christmas," Dean said, "and she's drunk all the wine in the Charms classroom hallway with a picture of a couple of drunken monks, right......"
He reached out and dug into his pocket for a moment, pulled out a roll of parchment, and said to Harry, "There's something else for you." β
"Great," Harry immediately unfurled, "Tomorrow night," he said to Darren, knowing they could understand what it meant, "I have a lot to tell him, and you guys, sit down......
However, Harry was interrupted by a loud scream, "Roll-Ro!" Lavender burst out of nowhere and threw himself into Ron's arms, and they tangled together in an upright wrestling stance.
"There's a table over there...... Where are we going," Darren said to Harry, shaking his head.
Together, they walked over to the empty table and sat down, "How was your Christmas?"
"Oh, that's good, except for Scrimgeour. β
"Scolingaugh, the new Minister of Magic?"
Harry shrugged his shoulders, "Yes, he went to the Burrow with Percy on Christmas night, trying to be like Fudge and let me act with him, and I had a fight with him. β

Harry then began to talk about hearing Malfoy's conversation with Snape at Professor Slughorn's evening, and although Darren had heard some of it, it was clearly not as complete as he was.
Hermione sat there pondering for a moment, then said, "Don't you thinkβ?"
"--Did he pretend to help and trick Malfoy into telling him the truth?"
"Well, yes. Hermione said.
"Ron's dad and Lupin thought the same thing," Harry said reluctantly, "but it certainly proves that Malfoy was plotting something, you can't deny it." β
"I don't deny it. She replied slowly.
"He's carrying out Voldemort's orders, like I said!"
"Hmm...... Did any of them mention Voldemort by name?"
Harry frowned, trying to remember.
"I'm not sure...... Snape must have said 'your master,' so who else could it be?"
"I don't know," Hermione said, biting her lip, "maybe it's his dad?"
She looked across the room, clearly lost in thought, as Darren heard Harry's name just mentioned, "How is Lupin?"
"Not very good," Harry shook his head, speaking of Lupin's mission among werewolves and the predicament he faced.
The next morning, the new semester began, and the sixth graders were pleasantly surprised: a large notice had been nailed to the bulletin board in the common room the night before.

Harry and Ron joined the students who crowded in front of the sign to sign each other. Ron had just taken out a quill to sign behind Hermione, when Lavender crept up behind him, blindfolded him with his hand, and said in a smirk voice, "Guess who, Rolle?"
"Thisβthe apparition appeared," Ron's tone clearly told Harry not to mention what had just happened, "it should be fun, right?"
"I don't know," said Harry, "maybe it would be better to do it myself, Dumbledore didn't take me that time was very comfortable." β
"I forgot you already did...... I'd better pass it all at once, Ron said, looking a little worried, "Fred and George both passed." β
"But Charlie didn't make it, did he?"
"Yes, but Charlie is bigger than me," Ron stretched out his arms like a gorilla, "so Fred and George didn't babble around it...... At least not in front of him......"
"When can we take the test?"
"As soon as I turn seventeen, I'm March!"
"Oh, but you can't apparilate here, ...... in this castle."
"It doesn't matter, does it? everybody knows I'm going to apparition, if I want to. β
Ron wasn't the only one excited to learn about apparitions. Throughout the day, there were people talking about the course to be held, and they longed to disappear and manifest at will.
