"Sneeze"

"Who's scolding me!" In the brightly lit Hogwarts, Dumbledore, who was writing and drawing on his desk, suddenly sneezed and touched his nose suspiciously.

"Knock Knock"

Before Dumbledore could put his hand down, there was a knock on the door, followed by a boy's whisper, "Professor, are you inside?" ”

Hearing the sound outside the door, Dumbledore looked up. He frowned imperceptibly, then smiled, "Come in, Harry Potter!" ”

Crunch

Invited by Dumbledore, Harry pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Ron, who had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"I'm sorry Professor, I'm bothering you so late!" Harry, who approached the headmaster's office, looked a little restrained. He dragged Ron to Dumbledore's desk and didn't say a word, but lowered his head.

After a moment of silence, Harry remained silent. Ron couldn't stand this depression, and couldn't help but sneak a look at Dumbledore, who was writing and drawing on the paper, and whispered, "Professor, is there still no news of Hermione?" ”

Ron's words snapped to a mute end, followed by a low sigh.

"I'm so sorry, it's not that I don't want to save Hermione, it's that we're not ready to turn against the mystery man!" The low sigh came from Dumbledore, the seventy-year-old mage who looked a little out of spirits and his eyes were full of self-reproach.

Three days had passed since Hermione had been captured by the Death Eaters.

For the past three days, Dumbledore has been trying to find a way to get Hermione out. But after thinking about it carefully, Dumbledore found it really too difficult.

One Voldemort is already exhausting, not to mention having Hermione as a hostage.

After thinking about it, Dumbledore never had a practical solution, and his hair fell out in a few days.

"It's all our fault, if it weren't for saving me and Harry, Hermione would be fine!" Dumbledore's silence made Ron's face even more worried. The thought of Hermione's three days in the hands of the Death Eaters gave Ron the illusion that he was about to collapse.

Ron's face was getting more and more ugly, and Harry himself was not much better. After all, Hermione had been caught trying to save them, and Harry felt guilty at the thought of Hermione being abused by the Death Eaters.

"Don't worry, Hermione will be fine!" Looking at the faces of Ron and Harry, Dumbledore barely smiled a little, and said in a low voice: "Trust me, Hermione will be fine, she is a good girl, she will definitely protect herself!" ”

Dumbledore's reassurance pale in comparison, but it still lifted them a lot to the ears of Ron and Harry.

Thinking about the shrewdness and maturity that Hermione had always shown. Ron breathed a sigh of relief, nodded thoughtfully, and comforted Harry, "Hermione is the best of the three of us, she's so smart, maybe she's escaped by now!" ”

"Get out!" Listening to Ron's self-justification, Harry felt even more bitter in his heart.

It's easier said than done. You must know that the person who caught Hermione was Lucius, a powerful mage, and the place where Hermione was held was the nest of the Death Eaters.

One Lucius was terrible enough, plus so many Death Eaters. Harry couldn't imagine how Hermione could have escaped in such an environment.

"Harry, cheer up. Hermione will definitely escape, she is so smart! The bitterness on Harry's face didn't affect Ron's mood. At this moment, Ron's confidence doubled, and he asked Dumbledore, "Professor, do you think Hermione can escape?" ”

"Uh" Hearing Ron's words, Dumbledore was dumbfounded. He wanted to say it was impossible, but he had to give Ron a little confidence.

"Of course, Hermione is the smartest kid I've ever met, maybe if you open the door now, she'll already be standing outside!" Dumbledore comforted Ron softly, and although he didn't believe it, Ron did.

"yes, Hermione must have been back, I'll open the door for him!" Ron whispered in a whisper, and when Harry saw him like this, he subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it, but he still caught it.

"Harry, what's going on with Ron!" Looking at Ron, who turned to open the door, the smile on Dumbledore's face disappeared, revealing a look of concern.

Ron in front of him was a little insane. Dumbledore looked at Ron as he went to open the door, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes deepened.

"Professor, Ron has been living in self-reproach these days. He thought it was entirely his responsibility to be caught by the Death Eaters, and I tried to persuade him a few times, but it didn't work. ”

Harry followed Dumbledore's line of sight, pointed to his head, and shook his head regretfully, "He wanted to save Hermione, and he was already thinking about it going crazy, so I brought him to meet you!" ”

The scientific explanation for Ron's current state is that he is insane.

In the past two days, Harry had noticed that Ron was abnormal, and wanted to see if Dumbledore had a good solution before taking Ron to the doctor.

"What a poor child!" Hearing Harry's explanation, Dumbledore lowered his head and chose to mourn for Ron for three minutes.

"Hermione, Professor, look, Hermione is really back, she's really standing outside the door!" Just as Harry was about to say something, Ron suddenly exclaimed from behind him.

Hearing Ron's exclamation, Harry didn't look back, but followed Dumbledore's sigh and exclaimed, "What a poor boy, he's sicker, and now he's hallucinating!" ”

"Harry, what are you still doing! Look, it's Hermione, it's Hermione back! Dumbledore and Harry's bows of silence did not discourage Ron.

Ron yelled as he ran over, shaking Harry's shoulders excitedly and exclaiming incoherently, "Harry, what are you doing!" Look, Hermione is back! ”

"Ron, you need to see a doctor!"

After being shaken several times in a row, Harry grabbed Ron's hands and replied seriously, "Ron, I'm very worried that Hermione has been caught by the Death Eaters. But you have to take heart and stop lying to yourself! ”

Harry's words were serious, and Ron couldn't say a word in excitement, just kept pointing in the direction of the door, motioning for Harry to look for himself.

"Ron, trust me, all you're seeing is an illusion, Hermione," Harry subconsciously turned his head to look at the door, as Harry persuaded Ron.

"Hermione" Harry had just turned his gaze and saw a young girl standing in the doorway and smiling to herself, who else could it be, not Hermione.

"Hallucinations, I see hallucinations too! Oh my God, I'm not going insane too! ”

Harry was frightened at the sight, rubbing his eyes vigorously and looking towards the doorway again.

"Harry, Ron! You read that right, it's me back. In Harry's gaze, Hermione stood outside the door with her hands on her hips, a smile on her face.

"This, this, this" Harry's eyes widened, and he pinched his arm hard to interrupt his illusion. As a result, Hermione's figure was still so clear, as if it was really Hermione who had returned.

"Hermione, your friends are already stunned, it seems that you are not welcome back!" Just as Hermione was about to make a big move, Zhang Yao's figure crossed Hermione and stepped into the principal's office.

Coming to the principal's office, Zhang Yao looked at everything in the room curiously. Especially when Dumbledore's pet, Phoenix Fawkes, stayed on him for a long time.

"Nice to meet you, strange guest!" Dumbledore also looked at his phoenix pet, turned to Zhang Yao and smiled.

"Really!" Zhang Yao's gaze collided slightly with Dumbledore, and he nodded noncommittally: "Introduce yourself, I am from the Empire of the Rising Sun, you can call me the King of the Rising Sun." ”
