Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Day of Research
Cynthia took Harry's hand and returned to her office on the sixth floor of the castle.
"Is this your office, Thea?" Harry looked curiously around the room.
"Yes, Harry. Would you like to stay by yourself for a while? I'm still in class, and I'll be back with you when Siris comes back, and I'll be back after class. Cynthia touched Harry's little head and said.
"Go ahead, Thea! Can I read the books in your bookcase? Harry nodded obediently and pointed to the bookcase not far away.
"Absolutely! If you want to see it, you can get it yourself, and if you're hungry, there's pastry on the coffee table. Cynthia pushed the door open and went out.
When Harry saw Cynthia leave, he went to the bookcase, pulled out a book of elementary magic arrays, and read it.
It wasn't long before Siris walked in with a suitcase. "Hey, Harry. Did Thea go to class? ”
"Uh-huh, Siris. Thea said to let you come back and stay with me. Harry looked up from his book.
"What are you looking at? Ah, "Magic Circle (Elementary)"! This is your first-grade textbook, so it's a good idea to check it out in advance! Ciris put the box into the bedroom and looked at the book in Harry's hand.
Half an hour later, Cynthia pushed open the door and walked in.
"Class?" Cyris said as she looked at Cynthia who walked in.
"Well, Severus and I started working on it tonight, and we'll figure it out as soon as possible, so don't worry too much and trust us." Cynthia said as she sat on the couch. "By the way, what about Barty? He hasn't come to see me much in the past two days. ”
"Ahem, he's been preparing for the wedding lately, and Gru and Jamie have been taking care of him all the time." Siris coughed lightly.
Hearing this, the expression on Cynthia's face softened, "When you go back later, let him come and accompany me tonight, I have something to say to him." ”
"Okay, I got it." Siris stood up and said, "Since you're back, I'll go home first, and Harry will leave it to you." ”
"Don't worry, Siris." Cynthia looked at little Harry and smiled softly.
After seeing Siris off, Cynthia walked over to Harry. "Pack up, we're ready to go to dinner. Would you like to eat in the office, or will I take you to the lobby to eat with everyone? ”
"Can I go to the lobby? I want to go around Hogwarts more. Harry looked up and looked at Cynthia expectantly.
"Absolutely! Since you want to go to the hall for dinner, let's change into a robe first! Cynthia said with a smile.
"I'm going to change it!" Seeing that Cynthia had agreed to his offer, Harry quickly jumped out of his chair and ran into the bedroom with a puff of smoke.
After a while, after changing into a robe, he ran out again, blushing and saying, "I've changed it!" Let's go, Thea! ”
Cynthia pulled Harry, who couldn't wait, out of the office. On the way, many students greeted her, and looked curiously at Harry, who was being led by Cynthia.
Harry looked left and right along the way, for fear that there would be a place where he could not see.
In a few moments, they arrived at their destination, the hall. Harry saw such a large room for the first time, and his mouth grew in surprise.
"Are we going to eat here in the future? That's a lot of people......"
"Now, you and I will eat in the teacher's seat, and in a few years, when you enter the school, you will eat in the student seat below."
"I don't even know which house I'm going to be sorted into, Thea, where do you think I'm going to be sorted into? Draco told me that Slytherin was the best house at Hogwarts, but Sirius said that Gryffindor was the best. ”
"Harry, no matter which house it is, you can prove that you are a good little wizard." Cynthia crouched down and looked into Harry's eyes and said. "Now, let's eat first."
After dinner, it was still early enough to get around at eight o'clock, so Cynthia took Harry around Hogwarts.
"This is the Black Lagoon and the Slytherin lounge is right in the lake. It's the Forbidden Forest, and students aren't allowed to go into it alone, and there's a lot of magical animals in there. There's also the Quidditch pitch over there, and when you get in, you'll definitely go back to join the Quidditch team at the house. ”
"Your parents, Regulus and I are both members of the Quidditch team, and in my opinion, you and Orion Draco will definitely join the team as well!"
"It's so beautiful here, and if I could, I'd like to be a professor at Hogwarts in the future, just like Thea!" Harry muttered as he looked at the stunning scenery around him.
"I'm looking forward to it! Alright, it's almost time for us to go to Professor Snape! Cynthia looked at her pocket watch, fifteen minutes before eight.
The two men hurried and finally arrived at the cellar before eight o'clock.
Cynthia stood at the door of Severus's office, staring at Medusa at the door.
"Why don't we go in?" Harry looked at Cynthia quizzically.
"Uh, Harry. I forgot to ask for the password, I don't know today's password......" Cynthia scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Thea......" As soon as Harry's words fell, Medusa said coldly, "The password is correct...... and the door opened automatically.
"So, the password for Professor Snape's office is...... Thea? Harry was stunned.
Cynthia looked at the open door with complicated eyes, squeezed Harry's hand and said, "Alright, let's go inside." ”
"You're here, password......" Severus looked at Cynthia a little guiltily.
"Then let's get started, there's no time to waste, Severus." Cynthia interrupted Severus directly.
“…… Good. ”
Two hours passed, and the two men still found nothing. "Let's continue tomorrow night, it's getting late, I'll go back with Harry first." Cynthia looked up and said weakly.
Severus sent them both to the door and said, "I'll send you." ”
"No need, Professor Snape! I'll pick up Thea and Harry, and you'll be relieved. Unexpectedly, little Barty came out of the shadows, hugged Cynthia and said.
"Barty!" Harry saw little Barty and grabbed his hand excitedly.
"Why are you here?" Cynthia said with a smile.
"Siris told me, so I'm here to pick you up." Barty Jr. hugged Cynthia tighter and touched Harry's black hair.
"Since Mr. Crouch is here, then I won't send you off, and I'll see you tomorrow night." Severus looked at the three people who interacted with him with a gloomy face, said coldly, and then closed the door.
"Then let's go back!" Barty Jr. smirked.
The group of three quickly returned to Cynthia's office. Cynthia used Transfiguration to turn the small sofa in her office into a single bed and moved it into the bedroom.
"Harry, you can just sleep in a single bed, okay?" As soon as Cynthia finished speaking, Harry threw himself on the bed and rolled on.
"Of course no problem!"
"Then you go wash up first, and Barty and I will wait for you to finish washing." Cynthia pulled Harry's toiletries out of her suitcase and into the bathroom.
