Chapter 243: End of Semester (I didn't pay attention to the system card just now, and I sent one more chapter to compensate.) Afternoon as usual)

In Hagrid's hut, five people celebrate Buckbeak's freedom. This joyous mood lasted until Ryan and the others returned to the castle.

It was only as he stepped up the castle staircase that Harry came up with the prophecy Professor Strawney had heard during his exam. Ryan was a little surprised to hear the prophecy that was no different from the original text, after all, now that Peter was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, how could he defect to Voldemort again? Not to mention that Peter had a complete record of turning from a mouse to a human when he was arrested, it was impossible for Azkaban not to prepare in this case.

But considering that there were so many Death Eaters back then, it makes sense that there were one or two fish that slipped through the net in a vain attempt to resurrect Voldemort. But in this way, it is impossible to catch the criminals in advance and plug this loophole.

Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head, after all, it was useless to think about anything at this time. Besides, on the one hand, he was ready for that dark age, and on the other hand, there were at least Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic in front of him, so it would not be his turn to worry about a third-year student in this case. So he decided to celebrate the end of the exam with everyone now, after all, what happened will only be known tomorrow. So there's no need to worry your friends too.

The next morning, Ryan went to the lake after breakfast, and watched the giant squid lazily wagging its tentacles on the surface of the lake, waiting for the owl to deliver the day's newspaper.

"I feel like you're a little weird today. Hermione's voice came from behind her, and she walked over to Ryan and sat side by him on the grass by the lake. "Or maybe I've noticed that since Harry said Professor Strawney's prophecy yesterday, you've felt preoccupied. Can you tell me what the hell is going on?"

"I have a not-so-good feeling that Professor Strawney's prophecies are mostly used to deceive people, but as far as I know, these prophets occasionally make real predictions. And when they made the real prophecy, just as Harry had described Strawney yesterday, it was completely out of their own, their bodies seemed to be out of control, and most importantly, they had no memory of what they had said after they had said it. ”

"I think you're just a little nervous. Hermione raised an eyebrow. "After all, you've had so much to learn lately, and that might have made you a little too anxious. ”

"It's really an honor to be praised by you, how much I've learned lately. Ryan joked. "I hope so, too. ”

At this moment a brown barn owl flew towards Ryan and dropped the Daily Prophet for the day, and then stretched out its left leg with a small leather bag. Ryan took five nits out of his body and put them in his leather pouch, and the owl quickly flapped his wings and flew away after receiving the money.

"There's no important news. Hermione looked at the front and second pages of the Daily Prophet. The front page was a rebuke of the deteriorating quality of crucibles exported to Britain by certain countries, and even the injury of an important potion maker. The second version is the seventh time that Mrs. Zabini has become a widow, which sounds a little-"

Ryan was reading the back pages of the newspaper at this time, and suddenly he pointed to a palm-sized tofu block in the corner of the seventh page. "Look at this, Peter Pedirus has escaped from Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic is actively urging all wizards to report him to the Aurors after seeing him. The Ministry of Magic will reward fifty Galleons for providing valid information. ”

"What the hell is going on with the Ministry of Magic? Azkaban has run two people a year. Hermione complained after reading the news. "But it really seems to match Professor Strawney's prediction. Professor Dumbledore is still there, though, and we don't need to worry so much for the time being. ”

"You're right, but given the chaos of the last war. It is also necessary for us to prepare in advance. For example, strengthen combat practice or something, after all, if something really happens, wizards like us who were born in non-wizard families are the most likely to have accidents. ”

"It shouldn't be that bad. Hermione said in disbelief. "But you're right, it's better to be prepared than not to be prepared. ”

At noon, the two of them went to the auditorium to eat with some concern, but they heard at the dinner table how Peter had escaped. According to a third-year Gryffindor whose family works at the Ministry of Magic, Azkaban is guarded by Dementors, and although the Ministry of Magic has warned them that Peter is an Animagus, the monsters don't notice.

The only news that is certain is that Peter has left the UK now, so the British Ministry of Magic, in the spirit that more is better than less, has only made a humble report in the newspapers.

"Ah, these guys. Ryan put his hand on his forehead in some frustration. But this was not the only thing that was unpleasant today, because in the afternoon the students learned that Professor Lupin had resigned.

"Although Professor Lupin is a good man, I can understand why he resigned. While reading in the library in the afternoon, Hermione said that Professor McGonagall had given Ryan and Hermione a slip of approval to borrow the book "Dangerous Transfiguration" from the library, perhaps because of her excellent performance in the Transfiguration class. Because the book was not allowed to be taken out of the library, the two of them could only use all their free time to read the book in the library during this time, trying to finish the book before returning home from vacation.

"Isn't it a werewolf problem? Ryan lowered his voice and said, "Now that there are wolf poison potions that are at least safe, I don't think it's a big deal to find a werewolf to be a professor." ”

"That's what I think, but most wizards don't. And we all guessed that Lupin was a werewolf from the clues, and I guess other students can guess this fact. How could the parents have allowed Lupin to stay in Hogwarts Castle in this case? And the shabby appearance of his clothes knows that he has been rejected many times at work because he is a werewolf, which also means that many people know that he is a werewolf, and it is impossible to keep this news a secret. Now that he resigned, he could avoid the difficulties of Headmaster Dumbledore, otherwise it would be even worse if he was really poked out," Hermione carefully analyzed the reasons for Lupin's resignation.

"Lupin, he's the best Defence Against the Dark Arts professor we've had in the past three years, it's a shame. Hermione concluded with some regret.

"But it could also be a good thing, after all, there is a curse on this position. Thinking about the two of them two years ago, it's a good thing that Professor Lupin can now retire from this position. Ryan reassured.

They were returning to the common room after dinner and met Harry, who told them that he was going to see off Professor Lupin. Professor Lupin resigned voluntarily because he felt that he was still in danger at school.

With Professor Lupin's resignation, news of him being a werewolf spread around Hogwarts, though many Gryffindor students regretted it. And everyone is not optimistic about the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts class next year.

On the last day of the semester, Ryan and the others finally finished reading "Dangerous Transfiguration" in a hurry, and the grades also came down on this day. Ryan still got the full O.

Hermione is also a full O, but because Ryan sorted out all his strength after mastering alchemy, this made his score in the practical exam widen up with Hermione. So this year he has won the first result in the age group for the first time.

Among Ryan's acquaintances, Harry, Ron, and Longbottom also passed all the exams, especially Longbottom, who actually obtained an O in the herb class like never before. So he went to each of the book club members at breakfast to express his gratitude.

Gryffindor House, meanwhile, won the House for three consecutive years, largely due to its outstanding performance in Quidditch. This meant that the final party was decorated in scarlet and gold, and Ryan was very happy on the last day of the school year at Hogwarts School.
