After leaving the principal's office, Ryan and Hermione didn't know what to do. Now that the meal is over, Ryan and the others don't know what class they should go to at this time. Because they weren't at Hogwarts the week before. So naturally I don't know what the class schedule will be for this semester.

"Just go to the dorm first and pack up your things, you can't mess around. After standing stupidly at the door of the principal's office for a while, they finally decided to go back to the common room first.

What they didn't expect was that they had just climbed into Gryffindor's common room. Several students who had stayed in the common room and had no classes immediately gathered around them when they saw that it was them, greeting them warmly and calling them heroes.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Ryan after squeezing himself out of the crowd of enthusiastic classmates, pulling his acquaintance Colin Creevey directly. "Why do you call us heroes?"

"Don't you know?" said Colin, looking a little surprised. "Now that almost everyone here knows about your previous battles on the Hogwarts Express and your persistence in Azkaban, you are now the best heroes on our side since the war began. By the way, can you tell us about the specific situation in the previous battle? Hogwarts Light doesn't say clearly-"

"Wait, what is the Hogwarts Light?" Hermione asked, "Percy said this Hogwarts Light when she walked through the door just now, and it sounded like some kind of propaganda show or the name of some kind of magazine or newspaper. ”

"Oh, by the way, you've been in Azkaban before. Colin made a look of abruptness. "Hogwarts Light is a wizarding radio station created by Senior Jordan Lee and a few classmates, and they are on the second floor of the screaming shack in Hogsmeade down the hill. If you stand on the top of the tower, you can still see the antenna of their radio station. ”

Is this a war of public opinion? Ryan thought that as for the reason why he and Hermione became the focus of publicity, it must be because they lost too ugly in the previous fight with Voldemort, so they had to find some so-called heroes to boost morale.

"What about the Death Eaters? Have any Death Eaters been attacking around here lately?" Ryan asked. "They can't stay in London to the south after they take over the Ministry of Magic. ”

"I don't know much about that. Colin said. "I'm just a student, and the only way to get out of the world is Hogwarts Light Radio and the Daily Prophet. The Daily Prophet is now full of, and Hogwarts Light doesn't broadcast much every day. ”

Speaking of which, he looked at Ryan, who was a little disappointed, and they thought for a moment, then added. "But the night we arrived at the school, explosions from the direction of Hogsmeade rang out sporadically for a night, and we could all hear them in Gryffindor's bedroom. The next morning, Dumbledore told us that it was just a sporadic Death Eater attack. ”

After that, many wizards came one after another. Both Hogsmeade and Hogwarts have formed patrols. And until today, no more attacks have been heard in the vicinity. But listening to the reports on the radio, there have been attacks and even homicides in many places in the south. ”

"Sounds terrible. Ryan shook his head. "I can only pray now that it will get better in the future. ”

"It's going to get better in the future. Colin Creevey looked confident. "We have Headmaster Dumbledore, we have Harry Potter, the savior. By the way, there are even heroes like you. I'm sure we'll be able to defeat the mystery man and win the final victory. ”

"Yes, we'll win. Hermione said. She and Ryan both felt that as long as everyone could ensure this optimistic attitude in the current situation, then this war would definitely not be lost.

By the time it was time to eat at noon, some of the evil consequences of this war were vividly displayed. There were only a dozen people sitting around the Slytherin table, and the number of people at the Ravenclaw table was much less visible to the naked eye.

The whole hall was silent, and everyone tried to keep their voices as low as possible when they spoke, and occasionally a few people laughed so harshly, and those who laughed in the silence soon stopped laughing, and then lowered their heads and continued to eat.

"Here—" Just as Ryan and Hermione were halfway to the long table, a deliberately muffled greeting was heard. Following the sound, Ryan saw Ron waving to them, with Harry and Ginny sitting next to him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Ryan sat down and put a piece of chicken on his plate and said as he ate. "I spent a night on patrol last night, and this morning I met Moody and came straight back, and then I went straight to the principal's office. I've been spinning around for 24 hours, and this morning I ate some sandwiches and cake in Dumbledore's office. I was hungry and tired. ”

"Sounds terrible, especially in places like Azkaban. Ron shook his head. "I can't believe you'll be able to stay there for a whole week, it's just a little tired. ”

"That's right. Harry said as he swallowed the food in his mouth. "People privately say that you killed a lot of Death Eaters with Hermione the last time Hogwarts Express was attacked, isn't that true?"

"It's true. Ryan looked at the people around him and said to Harry. "Hermione and I worked together to kill 18 Death Eaters, so I can be sure that they were all mercenaries hired from abroad by mysterious people. Because at that time, all the elites were taken by the mysterious man to attack the Ministry of Magic. ”

"Well done. Ron slapped his thigh and said, "You should have given those damn Death Eaters some awesome." ”

Ron's voice attracted a lot of people's attention, but unlike what they expected, many people did not alienate them because of Ryan's killing before hearing the news, but gathered around him and Hermione with excited expressions on their faces to ask him and Hermione about the specific situation at that time. There was even a Hufflepuff girl who came up to them and shook their hands and thanked them.

"What's going on?" Ryan asked, after a dozen minutes of talking about what had happened to him this week and waiting for everyone to leave, he looked at Ron, who was sitting across the table.

"It's a terrible thing. "The morning after the attack, the students in the auditorium received a total of four letters notifying their loved ones of death in the attack, and more than a dozen family members were injured in the attack." Like the girl you just shook hands with, his father was an Auror and Scrimgeour's guard. The same group of Scrimgeour were killed during the attack that day. ”

"Damn war!" Ryan understood at once. Many people have a tendency to be a virgin, and the more people grow up in a peaceful and prosperous environment, the more serious this tendency is. But once the war breaks out, the war is close at hand, even when it involves one's own relatives. They will immediately wake up and embark on the right path.

That's why, after learning that Ryan had killed so many Death Eaters, the vast majority of people didn't fear and thought Ryan was a hero.

The impact of the war is not just a change in mood, for example, there are a lot fewer dishes and quantities on the table than in the past, and according to Ron, the Potions and Herbs classes are now more demanding of everyone, and they will not provide an almost unlimited amount of materials to try as before.

From these things, it is clear that after the loss of the Ministry of Magic's appropriation and the donation of the school director, the funding gap for Hogwarts has become very large. Ryan only hopes that the overall situation will improve after his money is injected.
