Chapter 121: The Dull Man (Part II)

After patrolling, Catherine and Ixissi did not return to the prefect's box, but instead went to the Malfoy family's VIP school manager's box, as the members of the SG team had already taken over the area for the final gathering of the school year.

It's just that this time the convener is not Catherine, who is the team leader, but Hermione and Draco, who are tied again in their final exams this year, but are relegated to second place due to the sudden rise of the red-haired girl.

But when the two arrived, they found that in addition to the official members and the four second-grade girls who came to join in the fun, there were two more people in the box - Penelope and Cedric.

"I don't have much time left for Percy to spend time together, so please ignore my sapience." As soon as Penelope saw the two Slytherin prefects, he raised his hand to say hello, and then continued to lean on his boyfriend's shoulder.

"Well, because the Headmaster suddenly gave me this thing ahead of time," Cedric embarrassedly pulled out the "HB" badge that Percy had worn for a year, and shyly smiled at the two Slytherin prefects, "so I wanted to come over and find out the news." ”

"Catherine!" Hermione pressed the table in front of her, stood up, and said sternly, "We need an explanation. ”

"A question about why you met my aunt." Draco leaned back in his chair, smiling sinisterly.

"Alright! I can give you a reasonable explanation. But before that, I'd like to ask the two guests, do you need something like this? Catherine took out two address books, but one had a yellow cover and the other a blue cover.

"Don't you know that I've been envious of Percy for a year?" Penelope immediately reached for the address book with the bronze eagle on it.

"I really need a more convenient way to get in touch next year so that I can talk to you in a timely manner." Cedric smiled and got up, taking the address book with the black badger from Catherine's hand.

"Welcome both to the SG team." Catherine took the lead in clapping, waiting for the applause to cease before she began to explain, "First of all, I want to apologize to Hermione and Draco for not taking my divination exam at all. So this year's first grade should still belong to the two of you, not me. ”

"How could you not have taken the test?" Draco asked, shocked, "I watched you go upstairs." ”

"If you didn't take the test, how could Professor Trelawney give you a perfect score?" Hermione was even more surprised.

"I was just repeating what she said," Catherine looked distressed, "but she thought it was what I saw from the crystal ball, and she didn't know that it was actually her own prophecy." ”

"Prophecy!" Harry jumped to his feet, "What other deviant prophecies did Trelawney say?" ”

"You've seen it." Catherine blinked.

"Did she prophesy Bellatrix's escape?" Bress asked in shock.

"To be precise," said Catherine in an unusually sluggish tone, "she did not mention Bellatrix. There is no mention of prison escape, but, judging from the current situation, the prophecy she made clearly refers to this incident. ”

"Is that all there is to it?" Ixissi spoke suddenly.

"Not only, butβ€”" Catherine smiled, a big smile, "I can't say. ”

"What can we do?" Percy asked, raising her glasses.

"Enjoy this holiday andβ€”" Catherine paused before emphatically "prepare." ”

"Prepare what?" Pansy frowned and asked.

"Worst-case scenario." Catherine replied.

"And this summer's Quidditch World Cup?" Ron uneasily hugged his little owl. It was Sirius' Christmas present to him as compensation for the loss of the spot.

"I don't think it should have an impact." Catherine hesitated, "But I must admit that it was a very large target. She shrugged helplessly.

"We're also going to advertise during the game!" Fred grumbled disgruntly.

"Now I have to pray that Merlin will make the tournament go smoothly." George clasped his hands and began to close his eyes in prayer.

"If you need funds. You can find Remus! Catherine walked over to Hermione and sat down, "According to the agreement between me and him, after he resigns from his position at Hogwarts, he will officially start serving as the general councilor of the Black family. ”

"Didn't he and Sirius still have to stay in a santium?" Harry asked, puzzled. "Otherwise, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have told me to go to Dursley's house for two weeks."

"My cousin does, but hisβ€”boyfriend," Draco replied unusually awkwardly. "I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"Then Katherine, don't you have to go back to Professor Snape?" Hermione asked, grabbing her friend's hand.

"No," denied Catherine, "I've decided to take my luggage in the afternoon, and then I'll travel abroad on my own. ”

"What!" The crowd exclaimed in unison, and then Pansy asked urgently, "How long are you going out?" ”

"More than a month, though," Catherine smiled as she looked at Harry, "I'll try to be back before the end of July." ”

"That's good." It was Neville who spoke, "I'm afraid you won't be able to attend my birthday party." When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he was very embarrassed to explain, "My grandmother has decided to hold a big event this year, and I will send you a formal invitation in July, and I hope you will be free to participate then." ”

"Neville, I really don't want your grandma to be so expensive at this time." Catherine rubbed her temples with a headache, "Because once Harry receives your official invitation, Sirius will definitely follow suit." ”

"Looks like we're the ones who really broke the bank!" Theodore raised his glasses and said, "Three gifts in two days, I feel a headache when I think about it!" ”

"Actually, it would be nice to relax at that time, after all, we will definitely be very tired this summer." Daphne put her arm around her boyfriend and said with a smile, and everyone couldn't help but nod.

Then everyone began to discuss their summer vacation plans, and Hermione was particularly concerned about her friend's training location, but at the beginning, Catherine pulled the topic away.

"What's your course for next year?" Draco and I both decided to keep only the magic and protect the magical creatures. ”

"I still want to continue with arithmetic divination, so I've decided to give up just divination and Muggle studies," Hermione replied reluctantly, "so that my schedule can be normalized and I don't have to use a time turner." ”

"Time Converter?" Ron couldn't help but interject, and Harry asked the two girls next to him with the same puzzled face, "What's that?" ”

"Blaise!" Catherine snapped her fingers at Pansy's trusted boyfriend with a sudden smile.

"Don't worry! Hold your horses! Bress was also surprised, and took out a small notebook from his pocket and quickly flipped through it.

As for the faces of the others, few of them were good-looking, and Pansy even pinched her boyfriend's arm and threatened in a "whisper" in his ear: "If you dare to divide me in half, don't think about seeing me again this summer." ”

"What's going on?" Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"Zabini started a gamble at the beginning of the school year on when the two of you will find out about the time turner." Ginny grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Catherine said you must not have found out until the end of the school year, unless someone mentions it first." Astra, who was next to Draco, replied angrily that she had lost a full three gold gallons.

"It's a pity that no one believed Catherine's prophecy, so everyone else lost except her and Hermione." Although Cedric only made a bet of fifteen silver coins, he still felt reluctant to lose.

"Not all." Luna suddenly retorted, "Megan also won." ”

"I've only got a copper nut." Migen replied with a red face, "And I accidentally made a mistake." She was embarrassed to take the two coins that Brace had handed her, only to be shocked to find that one of them was actually a silver coin.

"Thirty times the odds, you're in luck!" Penelope sighed and couldn't help but roar at the two culprits, "Do you two dare to be a little more sluggish!" ”

Harry and Ron shrank their heads at the same time, trying to hide their bodies, but they were still caught by Fred and George, who had lost a month's profits, and trapped in the middle by the twins, threatening to use them both as test subjects.

"I almost lost it." Brace endured the heartache and pushed half of his income to Catherine, who was only glad that the red-haired girl had only placed a Galleon as a bet.

"That's because Catherine didn't want you to bleed." Hermione looked at the seven gold coins in her hand, and it was a pity that when Brace asked her if she wanted to participate, she searched all the pockets on her body, and found only three silver sicos and twenty-eight copper nats, so that she had to return one copper coin to him today.

Brace was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Ahh Hermione slammed her forehead, "I forgot, that-" She hurriedly closed her mouth and looked apologetically at her friend.

"Don't ask! Don't bet with Catherine in the future! Draco spoke to block everyone's intent to get to the bottom of things, and he suddenly felt that he was kind enough not to take the opportunity to get money from Brace like Hermione did.

Harry glanced back and forth, and when he noticed Tracy on Catherine's shoulder, he suddenly let out an "ah", and then reached out to cover his mouth, but it was too late, and everyone's eyes had already fallen on him.

"Alright, don't embarrass Harry." Catherine smiled, "It's just a little secret of mine." ”

Seeing this, the others did not continue to ask, and Fred and George did not "imprison" Harry and Ron anymore, and the two boys immediately hid in the farthest corner from the twins.

The SG group was largely cleared up, and most of the members left to reunite with their friends or say goodbye, leaving only Slytherin in Year 3. (To be continued......)
