This time, Darren and Hermione were called into the Headmaster's office to tell Dumbledore what had happened.

"Slughorn would be glad to have a student like you," Dumbledore said to Hermione after hearing the whole story, "and you, Darren, anyway, if you were with him, if there was only one person, with the intensity of the poison, even if he knew how to detoxify, he would not have had time to operate. ”

......After a pause, Darren asked, "How's the professor?" What is the effect of bezoar? ”

"You're getting help in time, he'll be fine, Madam Pomfrey says he's going to be here for another week or two...... Continue to take rue. Dumbledore sat in his seat, looking tired, "It's late, go back and rest, I'll inform Professor McGonagall to give you extra points for your actions." ”

Darren and Hermione looked at each other, said goodnight to Dumbledore, and left the Headmaster's office to walk down the aisle before they had time to seriously reflect on what had happened.

"It's so dangerous this time, but luckily there are enough coincidences, otherwise it ......"

"Yes, like Professor Dumbledore said, it's a good thing Slughorn drank with us, otherwise, if there was only one person, it would have been over, and he didn't even have time to shout for help."

"By the way," Darren said to Hermione seriously, "thank you for stopping me from drinking tonight." ”

"Ah, that's nothing, I'm just," Hermione didn't really care, "from those books of yours," she frowned, "I don't know what Dumbledore is going to do with this." ”

"How? It's the same as before," Darren said casually, "haven't we encountered many things in recent years?" It's not all the same. ”

After listening to Darren's words, Hermione walked quietly, and after a long time, she whispered, "But that's not right!" ”

"What?" Darren didn't hear clearly.

"That's not right," Hermione's voice was still not loud, but clear, "Hogwarts is a school, it shouldn't handle these things on its own, and it can't do that, the Ministry of Magic has the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division, and the Aurors, that's who is really responsible, not ......"

At this point, Hermione noticed Darren stopping, staring at her, "What's wrong?" ”

"Why do you think that?" Darren asked.

"I'm just," Hermione took a breath, "after reading those books you gave me, I thought a lot of things shouldn't be like this, but, everybody thought there was nothing wrong, just like the last time Katie was attacked, nothing ended up in the end, and no Auror ever came to investigate, as if as long as Katie could heal, that incident never happened!" It's not fair! At this point, Hermione was already a little excited.

"yes, it's not fair," Darren said as he looked at Hermione and repeated her words, but he was relieved that the seeds had finally taken root, "but everyone else thought it was normal, because their minds were still at the level of primitive emotional cognition and didn't think too much about it. ”

"Darren, then why are you different?" Suddenly, Hermione looked at Darren and asked.

"Me?" Hearing Hermione's question, Darren sighed, this is a real feeling, "In the orphanage, that's what it's like, I just have ten more years of experience than you, and time to think." ”

"......" Hermione gently hugged Darren and ......

The next morning, while going to breakfast with Hermione, "What gift did you have for Ron?" She asked.

"Gifts? What gift? Darren felt a little strange.

"I'm guessing you'll forget," Hermione said, "It's Ron's birthday, and Penelope was the one who made it for you last year." ”

"Oh, I'm not interested in celebrating a boy's birthday......" Darren struggled.

"Well, I've got it ready for you, Quidditch Goalkeeper Gloves, he'll love it," Hermione said, and suddenly a little melancholy, "I didn't expect it to be ......"

For what Hermione didn't say, Darren can also understand, after all, he has known Ron for several years, and he has lived with 12 Grimmauld Place in The Burrow, but now because of emotional matters, there is a trace of estrangement, which is a bit of a pity.

Of course, having said that, Darren doesn't regret it at all! How cute my Hermione is!

However, when they returned to the Gryffindor common room, they found that the birthday present might no longer mean anything to the person concerned, and Ron was pestering Harry, "Romida! You just said Romida? Harry, do you know her? Can you give me an introduction? ”

"What is this?" Darren and Hermione both looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, if Ron's name was Lavender, when did they get together with Romilda?

"Darren! Great, you're here," Harry shouted as he struggled to get Ron in his chair, "come over and help!" ”

"What's wrong?" Darren and Hermione hurriedly walked over, but didn't know what to do, because Ron looked a little strange, but he was still conscious.

"Aphrodisiac," Harry said to them after Harry took a moment to get Ron under control, "Ron ate the chocolate cauldron that Romida gave me. ”

Hearing Harry's words, Darren and Hermione understood, "Didn't I tell you to put that thing away or just throw it away, how could it be eaten by Ron?" ”

"I put it in the box, but when I was looking for Ron's birthday present this morning, it fell on the floor, and he picked it up from the ground and ate it as his own birthday present."

"So, such a dangerous thing, you think it's okay to put it in a box? Forget about it! ”

“……”

"Alright," said Darren, "there is no point in talking about that now, let's discuss what Ron should do!" "He's literally wrestling with Ron right now to prevent this guy from jumping out of his chair and rushing out of the common room.

"You've been putting the aphrodisiac on it for too long," Hermione frowned, staring at Ron, "According to the book, the longer this thing is left out, the stronger the medicine will be. ”

"No wonder......"

Finally, Darren couldn't take it anymore and pulled out his wand from his body, "It's all petrified!" Ron, who had been hit by the spell, stiffened in his seat, finally quieting down, "Okay, it's much better now," he wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The power of love" is really strong, just like this, it makes people tired enough, "Otherwise, just wait for the medicine to pass." ”

"But," said Harry hesitantly, "today, it's his birthday......"
