Chapter 1194
Hogwarts is never short of something new to stir up the conversation of half-grown children.
For example, in a state of ecstasy, Ginny and Harry are in a relationship.
At the time, Ron was in a state of bewilderment.
Is his cute little sister gone? And was snatched away by her best friend?
Aside from Hermione and Van Lin, Ron was probably the one who felt the most surprised.
The news of Harry and Ginny's relationship sparked a lot of interest, a large part of them girls.
Over the next few weeks, Harry happily found himself no longer bothered by the boring chatter of gossip as the conversation changed comfortably from the gruesome events of the Dark Arts.
Is this a peachy Hogwarts event?
Compared to the relationship between Van Lin and Hermione in the fourth grade, this matter is also not low.
Moreover, both of these things are kisses that happen in plain sight, oh, of course, counting Ron and Lavender, but for now, this pair has gone to the extreme of coolness.
"Do you want to know what people like to talk about?" said Ginny, sitting on the floor of the common room, snuggling up to Harry's lap, flipping through the Daily Prophet as she flipped through the Daily Prophet, "three crazy attacks in one week...... Of course, there are also some Hogwarts internal problems, and Romeridel asked me if you have a Hippogriff tattooed on your chest!"
Van Lin and Hermione burst into laughter.
This is one of Harry's many suitors, and even uses the love potion produced by the Weasley brothers, which has to be admitted, which is a bit ironic to Ginny, however, Harry doesn't care, he just wants to know what Ginny thinks.
"How did you answer?"
"Oh, I told her it was a Hungarian tree bee," Ginny said, turning a page of the Daily Prophet, "and that sounded a little more manly." ”
"Thank you. Harry grinned, "Did you tell her what Ron had tattooed?"
"A dwarf, but I didn't tell her where the tattoo was. ”
Ron glared at everyone until they stopped laughing unbridledly.
There were five of them now, only Ron was sitting alone on a single couch seat, surrounded by some junior people, who didn't intend to lean over.
After all, the coterie doesn't seem to fit in so well, a student council president, and Gryffindor prefects, plus Harry Potter?
If there's no threat, this is the new generation of Campus Overlord series......
"You must be aware of ......," Ron pointed to Harry and Ginny's stomachs, "I agree that just because you two are dating doesn't mean I can't take back my decision!"
"Oh, backtracking," Ginny scoffed, "and when did you agree?, anyway, you approve it only because you want my other one to be Harry more than Michael and Dean, that's all." ”
"Yes, I approve of it!" Ron reluctantly snapped a few words out between his teeth, "from the time you don't kiss anyone else in public." ”
"Ugly hypocrite, what about you and Lavender? like a pair of tied eels in public. "Ginny didn't give up.
This was like stepping on Ron's tail, but before Ron could speak, Harry rolled his eyes and took the lead in sealing Ron's mouth.
Not with the mouth, of course, but with a wand......
However, this was obviously more difficult for Ron to accept, especially when Hermione brazenly drilled into Vanlin's arms, and Ginny meekly put her head on Harry's lap, Ron's mood became more complicated, so much so that he later left the scene angrily......
Well...... The atmosphere here is not very suitable for him to stay here right now.
Fast forward to June, and Harry and Ginny were dating longer and longer, and the exams were approaching, and they had to study late into the night, and Hermione began her duties as a good girlfriend, as a Gryffindor who could beat Ravenclaw, especially in terms of academic performance, no one was better suited than Hermione, so that Van Lin and Harry suddenly returned to their previous state of idleness.
One night, when Ginny came out of the common room and Harry finished his herbal class homework in front of the common room window, the two of them had a wonderful time together by the lake.
At lunchtime, Hermione, with a preoccupied and gloomy face, sat between Harry and Van Lin.
"I have something to say to you, Harry. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Harry. Normally, when Hermione broke Ginny apart to talk to Harry, it was usually when she was depressed about studying for exams.
"The so-called half-blood prince ......"
"Oh, here it is again," Harry groaned, "can you please not mention it." ”
Harry still hasn't dared to blatantly pull out the half-blood prince's notes, and his Potions grades have plummeted (and Ginny's supporter, Professor Slahhorn, wittily blames Harry for falling in love).
Of course, Harry was sure that Snape would never give up on finding the half-blood prince's book.
So, to be on the safe side, while Snape was on his guard, Harry would have been determined to keep his books in the Room of Requirement.
To be exact, it was a safe place in Van Lin's bookshelf, and not everyone could reach it in the Room of Requirement, especially when Hermione was busy.
It must be admitted that Harry had the intention of pulling Van Lin into the water, after all, Hermione was always surprisingly lenient when facing Van Lin......
The word surprise doesn't seem appropriate, but Hermione is very tolerant of black magic or something, maybe Hermione thinks she may not be able to control it......
"I'm not going to give up!" Hermione said firmly, "some people have gone astray, and you haven't, at least, it's still a long way off...... I mean...... You haven't heard me yet. Now, I've found a flaw. Your half-blood prince has a penchant for inventing dark spells. ”
"He doesn't have a hobby!" said Harry, a little speechless.
"Hey, 'he'? Are you so sure he's a man?"
"Of course. Harry retorted, "The Prince, Hermione, the Prince......"
"Yes!" Hermione, blushing, pulled out a fragment of an old newspaper from her pocket and spread it out on the table in a huff, "Look at that, look at these pictures." ”
Harry picked up the mutilated newspaper and stared at the yellowed photograph of the event, and Van Lin leaned his head curiously, he was eager to see what Hermione could find, comparable to Snape?
Strictly speaking, Hogwarts has produced many people who can match, or even much better than, Snape.
In the photograph is a young girl of about fifteen years old, not pretty, with thick eyebrows, a long, pale face, and a well-behaved and sullen look.
The caption under the photo is famous: Erin Price, captain of the Hogwarts Inter-School Competition.
"So?" Harry quickly glanced at the brief news next to the photo, which was a very dull story about the interscholastic competition.
"Her name is Erin Price, Harry. ”
They just stared at each other, and Harry seemed to realize what Hermione meant, and suddenly laughed, "Impossible. ”
"What!"
"You think she's the 'half-blood prince'?"
"Why not, Harry, there is no real prince in the wizarding world, it's just a nickname or his own name, that's all. Listen, her father happens to be a wizard named Price, and her mother is a Muggle, so she's the 'half-blood prince'!"
"Wow, you're so creative, Hermione. ”
Maybe she's proud to be biracial. Hermione was a little annoyed, perhaps because she felt Harry's contempt......
Van Lin reminded Harry with a small elbow.
"Listen, Hermione, I can tell you for sure it's not a girl. ”
"Because you couldn't accept that a girl could be so smart!" Hermione was annoyed.
"I've been with you for five years, and I can't imagine how smart a girl is?" said Harry, "and from his writing style, I'm sure he's a lad, and there's something that girls can't learn." By the way, where did you get this newspaper?"
You can guess the answer.
"Library. There is a large collection of out-of-date copies of the Daily Prophet. I'll be looking for more about Erin Price. ”
"Oh, whatever you want. Harry said impatiently.
"I will!" Hermione said to Harry, "the first place I'll look up is the Potions Prize Register. ”
Harry glared at her, and it took a moment to draw his attention back to the darkening sky.
"She just can't accept that you're doing better than she does in Potions class. Van Lin looked at Hermione in the distance, although he had the intention to tell Hermione that the half-blood prince was Snape, but this was not appropriate, because he had no evidence at all, otherwise, break his head and show Hermione?
"But you didn't!" said Harry, "you take care of Hermione!"
"I....... Are you sure??, you don't have a fever!" Fan Lin had a ghost-like expression.
"Hey, whatever...... You've got to help me!" Harry said, "If it weren't for the half-blood prince's prompting, maybe Ron would have been cool!"
"Oh, of course...... "Van Lin nodded, "but you want to learn the magic up there...... Maybe join me in the Room of Requirement, where I can help you divide a separate space. ”
"Not a bad idea...... Harry nodded, in fact, even Ginny found it dangerous.
"You're going to confinement on Saturday?"
"Yes. Saturday after Saturday, and so on......" Harry sighed, "and he also hinted that if I couldn't finish all the boxes, the lockdown would continue until next year!"
Harry found confinement really annoying, as it took up the little time he had with Ginny.
In fact, Harry became more and more saddened to wonder if Snape had done it on purpose, as Snape kept Harry longer and longer, and it was usually sunny weather, so that the good time to date Ginny was left through his fingers again and again.
Harry was caught up in bitter memories until Kimi Pitt appeared next to him and handed him a parchment letter.
"Thanks, Kimi. Hey, it's Dumbledore!" Harry said excitedly, opening the parchment and glancing at it quickly, "He told me to get to his office as soon as possible." ”
Van Lin was a little surprised.
"What's the situation?"
"I don't know, but I'm alone...... He didn't call you!"
"Maybe it's a separate training, and finding Horcruxes always requires matching strength, but ...... You should be careful!"
"Why?"
"I didn't ...... You go first......" Van Lin hesitated.
"I'll go and see!" Harry sprinted out quickly.
Harry ran out of the common room as fast as he could, down the seventh floor. On the way, he only met Peeves. As usual, Peeves lunged at Harry, throwing chalk heads at him, making loud noises and noisily expressing displeasure with Harry's defenses, before disappearing.
After that, the hallway returns to dead silence.
Fifteen minutes before curfew, everyone returned to their common room. But then, Harry suddenly heard a scream, followed by a bang, and he stopped and listened.
"How dare you—ah!" the voice came from a nearby hallway. Harry pulled out his wand and ran towards it, finding Professor Trelawney on all fours around the corner, her face covered by her turban, and a few sherry bottles lying down beside her, one of which was broken.
"Professor......" Harry stepped forward and grabbed Professor Trawney's arm. Trelawney's glittering beads tangled with her glasses, and she burped loudly, patted her hair, and staggered to her feet with the help of Harry.
"What's going on, Professor?"
"That's an easy question!" Trauney cried squealing, "I was patrolling along here, and suddenly I saw some kind of dark magic ......" Harry didn't pay much attention to her words. He looked around at where he was. On the right is the tapestry of The Dwarf in the Dance, and on the left is the hidden, smooth and mysterious stone wall.
"Professor, are you going to try to get into the Room of Requirement?"
“...... Foreshadowing: You have to be allowed to enter?—— huh?" she pretended to be unfathomable.
"Are you going to go into the Room of Requirement?" Harry repeated again. "I don't know about the students. ”
"Not everybody knows about this room," Harry said, "but what just happened? You screamed, sounding like you were hurt. ”
"I'm fine. Professor Trelawney said, tugging at her leather towel and staring at Harry with her big glasses, "I think...... Yes...... Put some ...... Kindness...... Personal belongings go in. Then she began to complain, "Filthy slander." ”
"So," Harry glanced at her sherry bottle, "but you didn't go into the house and hide your personal belongings?" he thought it was peculiar, and when he tried to hide the half-blood prince's book, the Room of Requirement appeared.
"Oh, I can go in. Trelawney glared at the wall, "But there's someone inside." ”
"Who's in there? Who?" Harry asked, "who's in there?"
"I don't know," Professor Trauney said, looking nervous about Harry's question, "I walked into the room and suddenly I heard a voice, one I hadn't heard before, never. ”
"What does a voice say?"
"I don't know what that means," Professor Tlawney said, "and it seems like someone is making a 'huh' sound." ”
"'Huh'?" "Yes, very happy. Trawney nodded. Harry stared at her, "Is it a man or a woman?"
