Chapter 174: Bad News

Hermione also decided to strengthen herself, and everything that had happened all this time made her understand that the house was not just about going to school in a step-by-step manner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even the most powerful wizard, Dumbledore, can't protect everyone, except for himself, who else can he rely on.

"My parents would have agreed with George's suggestion, and I'd have long wanted to be taller than Fred and Percy. Ron doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, George's strength is obvious to all, and he is completely trustworthy, and if it were someone else, such an opportunity would have been willing to do so a long time ago.

As the days passed, the rest of the people began to be optimistic that the attacks did not continue and that they even thought that the matter was over. The mandrakes were also about to ripen, and they were chattering all day long in the third greenhouse, and Professor Sprout was already eagerly waiting to rescue the students.

"By the time they want to change the pots, the mandrake is fully ripe. She told everyone in class, "In this way, the poor classmates who were attacked in the hospital will be able to recover." ”

Everyone seemed excited, and finally they didn't have to worry about it all day, and they exchanged words, guessing that the killer had stopped and didn't plan to continue.

Only Harry, Ron, and Hermione were still worried, because they knew better.

"If we hadn't asked George, maybe we wouldn't have to worry about it now. Ron said with some emotion, "The students thought it was over, only we had to worry all day." ”

Hermione snorted lightly, "If you don't know, you don't have to worry about it these days." But he was soon scared to death by the news that Dumbledore had left school. ”

Hermione wouldn't be as naïve as Ron, thinking that pretending not to know would be fine, that would just be a cover-up. Not knowing the news means that you are not prepared, you have no precautions, and in the end, you can only wait for bad luck in ignorance.

As Hermione said, the classmates didn't have long to be happy, and they immediately ushered in bad news.

One afternoon, Professor McGonagall gathered all the Gryffindor students. Harry was training for a Quidditch match at the time, and they managed to beat Slytherin to give them a huge advantage. It is also necessary to take this opportunity to defeat other colleges in order to successfully defend the title.

For the sake of this plan, Wood insisted that everyone train every day. Thankfully, there are no complaints, and by next year, they may not be lucky enough to win Slytherin's Halo 2001.

During this time, even the weather has been exceptionally friendly, at least everyone does not have to train in the heavy rain and heat as before. The Gryffindor players are completely sure of the defending champions.

But that afternoon, the bad news came.

Gryffindor students huddled into the common room, waiting for Professor McGonagall to speak. They were all at a loss, inexplicable, some of them were called to the library, some were called to them during class, and some were called down in the dormitory.

This urgent and urgent notice made them feel a heavy pressure before they even heard the news. What's more, Professor McGonagall, who has always been strong and stern, also looks extremely lonely and heavy at this time, and they know that something big is happening in the school.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione exchanged glances, it was supposed to be something that was coming.

Professor McGonagall was in no hurry to speak, and she was adjusting her emotions. The eager and restless student fell silent, silently awaiting Professor McGonagall's announcement.

She said heavily, "Now, every student has returned to the common room of the academy. They will all hear the following things, which are a disaster for the whole college, and as students of the college, you should know these things. ”

Professor McGonagall's words made the Gryffindor students even more agitated, their faces full of anxiety and worry. But they could only remain quiet, waiting quietly for Professor McGonagall to continue speaking.

"In light of the attacks over time, the Ministry of Magic is already considering closing the Academy, unless we can catch the criminals who carried out these attacks. I hope that everyone who thinks they know something about the situation will take the initiative and we can get through this together. ”

Without waiting for the students to speak, Professor McGonagall immediately accentuated her tone and announced loudly, "From now on, all students must return to their house's common room by six o'clock in the evening, and no student can leave the dormitory after that." ”

"In the future, you will be escorted by a teacher, and no student will be allowed to go to the bathroom alone without the teacher's accompaniment. All Quidditch matches and training sessions will be postponed. There will be no more activity in the evening until we can find the killer. ”

As soon as the words fell, the students were like boiling oil in a fryer, they couldn't leave the dormitory after six o'clock, they had to be accompanied by the teacher to even go to the toilet, and all activities were canceled, this kind of life was terrible.

Professor McGonagall ignored the students' opinions, she had a lot of things to do, and she seemed clumsy to crawl out of the portrait hole.

The Gryffindor students were getting noisier.

"I can only go back to the dormitory after class, how can I spend this day? Fred said dejectedly, he couldn't stand this kind of captivity.

"Didn't the teachers notice that only the Slytherin students were unharmed, and it was they who had the heirs?" Why don't you kick them all out of school, they did the attack, and now we have to be punished. ”

The Gryffindor students couldn't help but agree, and burst into applause, "Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff will agree with this, only Slytherin is the one who should leave the school the most." The other students also agreed, but it made so much sense that it didn't work in the end.

Everyone could only stay in the common room with boredom, and soon, some people couldn't stay idle and went back to the dormitory.

Professor McGonagall announced that the school could be closed. We knew it was Dumbledore's plan, but why did I find it completely unreliable?" Ron muttered.

"Of course we will feel unreliable because in their plan we are pawns on the chessboard, chips on the table. The loser rolls out of school, and the winner takes control of the student's fate. Harry said solemnly.

Harry is becoming more and more able to see the logic of the adult world, where the strong use the lives and lives of the weak as toys for each other's games and bargaining chips for each other.

And the fate of the weak is determined by the competition of the strong and the game of the strong. Just like the ancient kings, a show and an awkward scene can make thousands of ordinary people die.
