Chapter 12: Halloween
In the past few days, Miss "Know-it-all" has been in a bit abnormal, usually she always holds her head high, never looks at people squarely, and always speaks with a sense of righteousness and command, like a proud little peacock. In recent days, it has been a little different, the proud little peacock seems to have encountered some problems, always frowning and thinking hard, looking preoccupied and uncontrollable, and he does not even actively raise his hand to answer questions during class.
"Ron, have you noticed that Hermione has been a little different lately, do you know what's going on?" Harry asked.
"Is there one?" Ron was dazed, he was a rough guy and didn't notice the changes in Hermione at all.
"Of course, Hermione seems to be in some trouble, and the last few days have become very dull, like a different person." Harry was sure of himself.
"Oh, yes. I think that's a good thing, at least no one is always talking in your ear as if they're great. Ron said.
Hermione happened to pass them and glared at him hatefully.
"She seems to have heard." Harry said.
"If you hear it, you hear it, and I'm telling the truth." Ron said stiffly.
Hermione had been thinking about the question that Wanwan had left her for a long time, and she couldn't help but run over to her and ask her about it.
This kind of thing is still too profound for a twelve-year-old girl.
"There is always a purpose for doing something, you can think about it from the motives, who is the best for this thing?" Wan Wan induced her.
"Who's in the best interest?" Hermione thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Harry? ”
"Of course not him. First of all, he was only a year old at the time, and he simply didn't have the ability to do it. Secondly, although this incident brought Harry great fame, it also made him a prime target for Mysteries and Death Eaters, and no one would put themselves in such a dangerous situation. Wan Wan shook her head.
"Oh, I'm so stupid, who could that be?" Hermione squealed in frustration, frowning in thought.
"As I said, when Harry becomes the Savior, he becomes the main target of Mysteries and Death Eaters. So who was Mystery's worst enemy before Harry became the savior? Wan Wan continued to guide her.
"Professor Dumbledore!" Hermione blurted out, and covered her mouth in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face. "How is this possible, why would Professor Dumbledore do this?"
"Quite simply, because he's no match for the mystery man at all." Wan Wan spread her hands.
"However, the books say that Professor Dumbledore is the only person the mystery man fears......" Hermione said.
"Don't believe too much in what is written in the books, history books are written by the victors. If it was Voldemort who won the victory, the book now would be written in the exact opposite. Dumbledore had never won against Voldemort, otherwise he would have killed Voldemort long ago, just as he had killed Gellert Grindelwald. Moreover, Dumbledore is so old, do you know how old he is now? Wan Wan said.
"I know that Professor Dumbledore was born in 1881 and is now one hundred and ten years old." Hermione said right away, knowing everything about what was written in the book.
"That's right, Dumbledore is one hundred and ten years old, he is too old, he has long passed his prime, his strength is declining year by year, he couldn't win against Voldemort back then, and now the gap with Voldemort will only be greater. So he needed someone to stand up and get Voldemort's attention so that he could be in the dark. Wan Wan said.
"I see...... Isn't it too unfair to Harry to do that? It took Hermione a long time to compose herself.
"What about unfairness, who cares?" Wan Wan said.
"No, I'll have to warn Harry to watch out for Dumbledore and the Mystery." Hermione's sense of justice and compassion exploded, and she slammed to her feet.
"It's useless, everything is just our speculation, there is no evidence at all. Dumbledore is the greatest white wizard in the world, you're just a first-year magic student, who would others believe? "Wan Wan said unhurriedly." Maybe the school will expel you for defaming the principal. ”
"Isn't there anything that can be done, isn't Harry's current situation very dangerous?" Hermione said.
"On the contrary, in order for Harry to attract the attention of the mysterious man, Dumbledore will definitely protect him. Not only that, but he will also find ways to increase Harry's reputation and make him even more dazzling. So you don't have to worry about Harry. Wan Wan said.
"My head is messed up, let me go back and think about it." Hermione was a little confused, she received too much information at once, and she couldn't get back to her senses.
The first year of Hogwarts has a relatively easy curriculum, with only seven compulsory courses and three electives, and by the third year, three electives will be added, and only two classes a day will be required on weekends, which is quite pleasant.
However, Harry Potter felt very uncomfortable, in addition to Snape's troubles, every time in class, Hermione would look at him with a kind of pity, which made him feel a little hairy.
"Hermione's mental problems are getting bigger and bigger." Harry Potter thought to himself.
Hogwarts is still a very tenacious school, and no matter what happens to the outside world or how much the school changes, it will never stop classes.
Basilisk appears in the school, people die, and students are in class. The murderer Sirius infiltrates the school, and the Dementors are stationed there, threatening the safety of the students at any time, and the students are still in class. Voldemort led the Death Eaters into the school, bleeding and strewn with corpses, but the students were still in class.
The learning atmosphere at Hogwarts is also rare in the world.
On Halloween, the Gryffindor first-year students had just finished their Charms class when Hermione heard Ron speak ill of her behind her back: "...... It should be Leviosa, not Leviose, to be honest, she's a nightmare, no wonder she doesn't have any friends. ”
Hermione has been enlightened by Wan Wan and is much stronger than before, but she is still very sad to hear others see her like this, and she hides in the toilet alone to wipe her tears.
"Don't be sad, geniuses are lonely, excellent people will always be jealous and malicious slander by mediocre people, no matter where it is, this phenomenon will not be eliminated, you have to learn to adjust your mentality, otherwise you will only fall into the dust in the end." Wan Wan's voice sounded behind her.
Hermione turned around, wiped her tears, and said, "Did you encounter this kind of thing too?" ”
Wan Wan said indifferently: "You can't imagine my experience at all, the slander on my back is just the most ordinary and harmless one." ”
Hermione was surprised, "Really? ”
Wan Wan casually listed two past events, which made Hermione listen to the thrill, compared to Wan Wan's experience, her experience was nothing at all.
"Alright, clean up, Halloween dinner is about to begin, let's go back." Wan Wan smiled.
"Hmm." Hermione nodded.
At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, as if a small mountain was moving, and the ground trembled slightly.
