While Brandi and the others were rushing back to Hogwarts, on the other side of the Channel, his friends were in a hurry to convene the "Fourth Seminar of the Salph's True Identity Doxxing and Daddy Brandy's Reply Countermeasures Committee" - Harry was so panicked that when Professor McGonagall was suddenly informed that the exchange group was about to return early, Harry and the others were simply panicked and had to rush together unprepared.

It is worth mentioning that this meeting was held in Professor Lockhart's Defence Against the Dark Arts class......

After Gilderoy Lockhart won his sixth Wizarding Weekly Award for the Most Charming Smile and the Second Class Order of the Sir Merlin for "The Day He Drilled the Basilisk", he chose to cheekily slip back to Hogwarts with flowers and honor and continue to ruin people - after Brandy's euphemistic reminder of the power of fame, Lockhart now values his image and credibility very much, saying that he will insist on teaching the last month or so of his lessons.

Of course, the reward for this is a noticeable increase in the number of avid female fans at Hogwarts.

Lockhart's return provided a godsend for Harry and their secret meeting, firstly because he continued the 'edutainment' melodramatic teaching of his previous kind, which caused the classroom to be so noisy that he didn't have time to pay attention to the small actions of the students below.

Come on... I'm ashamed... After the battle in the Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart has become very aware of the current affairs and treats Harry and Ron as his own - I don't have a problem if you don't come, as long as you don't go too far, it doesn't matter if you turn a blind eye to something like chatting in class.

So under the curious gaze of the classmates, as soon as class started, the three of them hid obscenely in the most remote corner of the classroom and chatted in a sneaky whisper.

"What's been going on in the Treasury lately?" In front of Hermione was her thick "Magic Potions and Potions", which was densely written in small letters. Final exams were still a little over a month away, but Hermione had already gone through the second grade to the second time. She asked impatiently as she expertly recited the recipe for the swelling potion.

"It's still the same as last week, there's no sign of anyone stepping in." Ron said that after Hermione had snuck into Ravenclaw last time to eavesdrop on Sharph's conversation, he and Harry had stolen a few sticks of chalk to grind into a fine powder and spilled them at the entrance to the vault room at night. It's been two weeks now, and there's still not a single footprint on that layer of dust. "Seriously, even if Sorf knew where the vault was, do you really think she has what it takes to get inside? I've heard from a Ravenclaw student that she can't even cast a fluorescent charm! ”

"But that's probably hiding her strength - otherwise how would she give the awakening potion to Luna!" Hermione said scathingly, "I heard it with my own ears that night, Luna talking to her about the Awakening Potion!" She was thanking Sorf for giving her the potion, and what Sorph said - she said she didn't need it! ”

She flipped out her notes and spread them out over the textbook, her fingers sliding over the table of contents in her notes.

"You all remember what happened when we first went to the castle since the start of our second year - in addition to the extra bottle of potion that day was drunk by someone who doesn't know, there was one less small medicine bottle in the box! And if Sharph's words mean that he has already drunk it, and he doesn't need another bottle—"

"So you're starting to suspect that Sorph was following us, wearing Harry's cloak of invisibility??? Don't guess Hermione, would Sorf be the one to do that! "Ron is tough on this matter, and he would never have debated with Hermione in the past." Tell me, then, how did Sorf steal the Cloak of Invisibility out of the Gryffindor Tower? ”

"That's why I'm going to let you set up the scene and see if she did it!" Hermione didn't get emotional, but continued in a businesslike tone.

"Doesn't that now the results show everything! Salph is innocent, no one else has been in since Harry and me! ”

"Yes, that's right, but that only proves that the guy who has entered the treasury has increased his vigilance, and I won't stop doubting her until Sorph clears her name." As she said this, Hermione never took her eyes off her notebook.

"Shhhh Anyway, once it comes to Brandi's problem, you can immediately disown it. Ron blushed with anger at her scathing statement, but he couldn't think of any better evidence or way, so he had to mumble a few words in a low voice, and stopped talking.

Thanks to the fact that Lockhart's script was at its climax, a round of applause overshadowed Ron's voice, otherwise Hermione would have immediately taken out her wand and saved his life.

"Hermione, what do we do now?" At this time, Harry, who was sweating for his best friend's life, found that he finally had a chance to speak. "Brandi is coming back this afternoon, and he's going to ask about Hedwig. Should we-"

Hermione stopped, and she turned her head. "I'm still the same as I had at the beginning," she said, "and we can't afford to take a head on the matter until we've done a thorough investigation into the affairs of Salph." You should burn that letter right away! ”

………………

That night, after returning from the Ravenclaw common room, Hermione had been looking abnormal, thinking about something all day. This worried Ron and Harry, and they asked a few times, but Hermione didn't bother to tell them. The two of them, unable to contain their curiosity, stopped Hermione as she walked out of the library on a weekend afternoon - a sharp-eyed Harry found that Hermione actually had a Muggle-drawn map of Britain in her hand.

"Hermione? What do you think this is for? ”

Seeing that Hermione, who was discovered, couldn't stand the bombardment of the two people in the end, she casually perfunctory.

"I don't think Sorf is Brandi's own sister... We should ask Brandi's parents for some help..."

This scared Harry and Ron out of the way. The two of them almost thought that they had intercepted Daddy Brandi's reply in private, and Hermione found out, but the unnatural expressions of the two fools immediately caught Hermione's attention - the strong desire to survive made the two of them give up covering up.

So the two of them honestly explained everything about Daddy Brandi's reply.

"If that's the case, the clues are almost enough to sort out the outline of a truth." Reading Kozmo's reply carefully, Hermione let out a cloudy breath and said solemnly.

"So dear Miss Granger~ For the sake of our explanation, you can share the information with us!" Harry and Ron said flatteringly, and handed the big guy a cup of hot tea with his hands and feet.

"Since you'......ve all asked so sincerely," Hermione, who had succeeded in her conspiracy, nodded in satisfaction and took a sip of the black tea in her hand. Gets things back to business. "The night I followed Salph, I noticed something strange—"

She recounted what she had seen while tracking down Salph and Luna that day. Sorph didn't look like she was listening to the class, and she only had Brandy's cat in her bag... But her intel showed that Sorph was almost always the best of the best in all subjects except for spells and shapeshifts (Harry and Ron were visibly surprised when they heard this)... On the way, Sharph and Luna meet their fellow first-year classmates, who are accused of cheating on the fire spell because the flame is the color of the fire spell she used on the first-year trapdoor against the gluttonous mushrooms.

Immediately afterward, Hermione said that she had followed the two to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where she had seen Salph's crudely made wand and uncanny sights. When she says that Salph is not just a parseltongue, but can communicate with all magical creatures. Before Harry could react, Ron, who was very familiar with the wizarding world, jumped up from his chair.

"It can't be!" He was incoherent with excitement, "No wizard has ever been able to talk to all magical creatures!" Never, not even the Big Four! You must be hallucinating, or maybe the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest happen to be familiar with Salph! ”

"Calm down, Ron, I couldn't believe it at first." Hermione patted him on the back and told him to sit quietly. "Believe it or not, this is what I saw. Just sit quietly and listen to me. Here's the key. ”

Harry and Ron held their breath as they heard Hermione advance the story to a pivotal point in the common room, where Salph and Ravenclaw's second-year Lisa Dupin were talking.

"The two of them just messed up casually, and I thought that Self might make up a seamless experience to put Lisa right. But what she didn't expect to say was unbelievable - she said that she had no mother since she was born, and that her father was seriously ill, and that her father had told her to let her go to live with Brandy. ”

“…… I'm afraid this girl hasn't stayed with Luna for too long and has been infected with that kind of madness. Ron and Harry looked at each other, "We can't believe this kind of crappy words, let alone Lisa." ”

"Yes, Lisa didn't believe it either, and after chatting for a while, she felt that Sorph was deliberately cheating on her, so she left in a huff." Hermione reluctantly said, "But I did find a clue from inside, and Sylph said that she had never seen the sea, nor had she been on a plane or a ship - this at least proves that she was a native of England, had always lived inland, and was most likely a Muggle, and I had never heard of a wizard of a wizarding family who was so familiar with Muggle transportation." ”

"Wait a minute, how do I think this clue seems to be more like proof that Self is Brandi's own sister......" Harry blinked, "Poor Brandy, I wish nothing happened to his mother when she found out the truth." ”

"So let you listen to me first!" Hermione interrupted him irritably. "There's nothing wrong with it so far, the problem is in a bedtime conversation between Salph and Luna, Luna tells her that her magic is improving quickly, and Sorph is actually teaching Luna how to use the supermagic prefix - even stranger is after everyone has fallen asleep!"

She looked around the lounge and said mysteriously.

Sharf turned her head suddenly...... She's been staring in the direction I'm hiding! Merlin is on top, I'm sure-"

"I was discovered by her from the beginning!"
