The dim light only illuminated the lower half of Mu Yan's body, and the upper half of his body was completely submerged in the shadow of the corner, turning into a blurry black.

He stood there, quietly watching the dorm room where Ginny had last entered.

The edge of the stone door is carved with vines and roses, and it looks like a picture frame fixed to the wall.

Soon, as if sensing his gaze, a mighty lion's head emerged from the door, its open mouth biting into the protruding iron on the side of the door, and its sharp teeth pierced into the iron as if it were nailed into it.

Like other dormitory doors, this door also has its own secret language, and people who don't know the secret language can't open this door.

Mu Yan retracted his gaze and looked around.

The hallway was silent, except for the yawns coming from the mural.

He bent down, reached into the trash can around the corner, and fumbled for a while.

When I took it out again, there was already an extra ball of paper in my hand.

Needless to say, this is the ball of paper that Ginny was still around the corner just now.

At that time, Mu Yan was hanging far behind his back, and he didn't see what he threw clearly.

But when his hand touched the paper ball in the garbage, he instantly understood what it was.

"Tsk, has it come to this?"

Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could still feel the unhappiness in Mu Yan's tone.

He opened the paper ball.

A dancer in a white swan dress spins intermittently on a wrinkled cardboard, like a TV show with a bad signal.

This is the Christmas present he gave to Ginny just now!

Thinking of Jinnie's surprised and shy expression when she got this gift, and then looking at the bookmarks that were now crumpled together, Mu Yan felt a little sighing.

This woman is really good at acting, she obviously attacked three students, and she sat with us and chatted and laughed without any psychological burden.

Obviously, he hated the half-blood wizard, but when he received his gift, he naturally showed that innocent and surprised expression.

The most commendable thing is that after being with Mu Yan and them for so long, she didn't leak any of her feet, if Mu Yan hadn't read the original book, maybe she wouldn't have found her abnormality by now.

I really don't know if it's Ginny's own acting skills, or Riddle's soul influences her.

Or, both?

Mu Yan crumpled the paper ball and threw it back into the trash.

He suddenly felt that he had to be careful in the future, judging by Riddle's death declaration and Ginny's actions today, a half-breed leader like him would definitely be a quick one for them!

Maybe he'll be next!

Glancing at the closed dormitory door, Mu Yan turned around and disappeared into the shadows.

……

Time flies, and January passes quickly.

The Harry trio's action began non-stop on the second day of Christmas.

They plan to use the Polyjuice Potion to transform into Crabbe and Goyle's likeness, and get the news about the Chamber of Secrets from Malfoy.

As a result, because of the cat hair she got for Hermione, Hermione, who drank the compound potion, became Millicent. In the end, Postech's cat not only failed to participate in the operation, but was admitted to the school hospital.

This stay is more than a month.

For more than a month, Mu Yan would spare half an hour to an hour after dinner every day to go to the school infirmary to tell Hermione about the day's lessons, and help her bring her homework by the way.

This time was originally arranged by Mu Yan for himself to learn medical magic from Madam Pomfrey.

But since Hermione was going to be here for a long time, he was willing to squeeze out a little time and help.

It was not until this time that the little witch, who was known as the second smartest wizard of this year, once again clearly realized how big the gap between herself and Mu Yan was!

Judging from the course explanations condensed into half an hour every day, Hermione felt that she could no longer catch up with Mu Yan.

The concise language, the incomprehension of the spells, the personal experience of the experimental procedures...... Everything is no longer fully pre-studied and can be explained clearly in four words!

This is a complete performance that has surpassed this grade and has already integrated these basic knowledge!

The little witch would be a little discouraged every time she listened to Mu Yan's lecture, although she knew that Mu Yan was very good, but she never knew that he could be so good!

She seemed to be able to see that on the long runway of life, someone who no longer knew how many laps she had been around appeared beside her again, smiling at her and saying "Come on"!

What a poignant scene......

Now, every time Mu Yan discusses Madam Pomfrey's healing spells, Hermione listens to them.

It was the only thing she had ever felt comforted about.

Since her parents are dentists, she is very familiar with some things in medicine, and she can always interject when discussing.

But Mu Yan can't do it, his medical spells are taught by Madam Pomfrey, and the teaching progress is in Madam Pomfrey's hands, for Mu Yan, every day he learns new knowledge, and there is no situation where he already knows it in the past and learns it again.

At this time of the day, most of the time it was Madam Pomfrey talking, and Mu Yan was listening carefully, and from time to time Hermione interjected to explain why such magic was used in that part, what the main effect of this part and so on.

At this time, Hermione could always receive admiring glances from Madam Pomfrey and Mu Yan, and if it weren't for the bandages on her face, she would probably laugh out loud with joy.

Peaceful times always pass quickly.

In February, at the urging of Harry and Ron, Hermione finally fully recovered, and after blushing and saying countless thanks to Mu Yan, she reluctantly left the school doctor's office.

Mu Yan watched them leave, although the three of them invited him to visit the prize showroom in the afternoon, but it was obvious that he didn't have the time to go, so he directly refused.

The three of them got used to it, and they made an appointment to meet in the Hufflepuff kitchen on the weekend, and went their separate ways.

……

In March, almost four months have passed since the three attacks.

Calm is gradually returning to the school, there is no shortage of new things to say about Hogwarts every day, and rumors that Harry is a descendant of the Chamber of Secrets are gradually forgotten.

But the Harry trio apparently didn't forget about it, especially after Harry picked up Riddle's notebook, and the trio team was once again caught up in the heat of the secret room investigation.

Of course, they also invited Mu Yan.

However, Mu Yan still refused the invitation of the three as usual.

In the past few months, with the help of Lockhart's memories, his research in the brain domain has been advancing by leaps and bounds.

Now, except for the incantation research and the alchemy course, which continued to follow up, the rest of the things were temporarily put down by him, leaving time for him.

He didn't have time to play detective games with the trio.

As a result, the time soon came to the end of March, and the third-grade timetable had been distributed to every student.

In a few days, it will be the day of course selection.

That afternoon, Mu Yan finished the elective course of the alchemy course as usual and was about to go to the Room of Requirement.

But before he walked out of the classroom, he was stopped.

Mu Yan ...... Mu Yan ...... "A figure in a Ravenclaw uniform hurriedly ran down the stairs.

Flitwick ...... Professor, please come to the president's office! Dover ran out of breath, and when he saw Mu Yanyi, he was so excited that he almost didn't fall down the stairs.

Looking for me at this time? Mu Yan frowned.

"Did the professor say something?" He walked over and helped Dover by hand.

They are all students in the same grade, and although they haven't said a few words, they can be regarded as acquaintances who don't look up and look down.

"I didn't ...... There is no ......" Dover reached for the thick glasses on the bridge of his nose and gasped.

"Okay, I'll go over it." Mu Yan patted him on the shoulder, walked around him and walked in the direction of the principal's office.

The principal's office and the Room of Request were on the same floor, just two floors upstairs, and Mu Yan walked up directly from the stairs on the other side.

There are few people on the eighth floor, and it is home to the offices of the upper Hogwarts and some of the showrooms, with Dumbledore's Headmaster's office located on the right.

Mu Yan walked along the corridor and soon stopped in front of the two stone beasts.

The door to Dumbledore's office was ahead, but it was now blocked by these two strange guys

Kindness...... Forgot to ask for the password......

Mu Yan had a headache.

These two stone beasts have the head of a lion, but they have the wings of an eagle, and the tail behind them is still a coiled poisonous snake, as long as someone approaches the gate behind them, they will automatically wake up and roar threateningly, and if they continue to get closer, they will not hesitate to attack.

Looking at the shape of these two goods, although they are a little nondescript, they can stand guard at the door of the principal's office, and it is obviously not a simple goods.

Now what?

Mu Yan looked at the gate, which was only two or three meters away from him, and then looked at the two stone beasts in front of him.

It's definitely not okay to break through, not to mention whether you have the strength to break through, even if you have, you can't do it.

It also depends on the owner to beat the dog, this is the principal's thing, and if it is broken, a good thing will become a bad thing.

It seemed that he could only go back to Dover to ask for the password, Mu Yan sighed.

I ran for nothing!

All he wanted now was that Dover would remember what he had forgotten to say to him, and then run up to him and tell him the password.

Just as he was about to return the way he came, a familiar sound of footsteps reached his ears.

This is......

Mu Yan turned his head, and sure enough, Hermione, dressed in a wide black robe, ran up from the staircase with a few books in her arms.

Seeing Mu Yan at the door of the principal's office, she was also stunned for a moment.

"You were also notified to come to the principal's office?" Mu Yan was the first to speak.

"Yes," Hermione walked over to Mu Yan with her book in her arms, "Professor McGonagall told me to go to the principal's office after class. ”

"Professor McGonagall?" Mu Yan frowned.

It was Professor Flitsch who informed him, Professor McGonagall who informed Hermione, and the deans of the two houses who informed the best students of their houses.
