"There's a new operation, Hermione!"

When Harry pulled Ron out, Hermione was the only one left in the common room, quietly reading a book. She was curled up in the soft couch, the sun shining through the window on her hair, and there was something Harry couldn't tell.

Hermione heard Harry's shout, looked up slightly, closed the book in her hand, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Before you say it, Hermione, save my paper." Ron wept and raised the parchment in his hand that had been stained with ink.

"Little things." Hermione answered, drawing her wand and flicking it in the air, and the messy ink flew up from the parchment and disappeared into the tip of the wand.

"What action, Harry?"

Harry repeated what Dobby had said to Hermione, and then said excitedly, "...... So, let's go to the Room of Requirement and block him! ”

"Don't worry, Harry." Hermione shook her head slightly, tapped her fingers on the book, and said, "Did Dobby say the word 'different people'?" ”

"Uh...... Yes, I'm sure! Harry didn't know what Hermione was asking for, but the habit he had developed over the years allowed him to give a straight answer.

"That's right!" Hermione said, "Harry, do you remember what's in the Potions classroom?" Such a big vat, he can steal some ...... in that class"

"Polyjuice decoction!" Harry clapped his hands excitedly, "That's right, that's it!" ”

"There are no different people at all, it's Crabbe and Goyle! Only the two of them would blindly obey Malfoy's orders! ”

"What are we waiting for, go and block them now!"

"Wait Harry, don't get too excited, remember what I told you earlier? If you don't know what's inside, you won't be able to get into the Room of Requirement......" Hermione said solemnly, "and don't forget, you should be focusing on getting Slughorn right now." ”

"This ...... It's okay, I can use the live map to look at it first, as for Slughorn...... Damn, why did things all come together! ”

"It's not complicated, Harry, it's that you don't know what to prioritize...... Malfoy doesn't matter, compared to Slughorn's memory. Hermione said, "Maybe you could try to have a good conversation with him instead of using magic or potions, which Dumbledore could do on his own if that worked." ”

"But Malfoy ......"

"Harry, can you prioritize? Don't forget that Dumbledore was a little unhappy with your previous performance, and it is clear that I would rather trust Dumbledore than your own judgment...... At least for him, Malfoy wasn't as important as that memory......"

"This ...... Okay okay, I'll try, I'll try......"

Hermione looked at Harry, who had repeatedly agreed, and shook her head slightly. She knew very well that Harry was clearly not listening to what she was saying.

Perhaps in his heart, Malfoy was more important than everything else......

The next morning, Hermione had two lessons, she had to take an ancient rune first, and then a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson with Harry and Ron. After breakfast, she parted ways with Harry and Ron.

In fact, Ron was still with her for a while, as he was one end away from going back to his dorm room to finish the paper Snape had requested. Harry, on the other hand, took advantage of the period before the Defence Against the Dark Arts class to put on an invisibility cloak to keep an eye on Malfoy.

Obviously, he didn't get anything, and he was a minute late.

"Gryffindor deducts ten points for your tardiness, Potter." Snape gave Harry a cold look, then lifted his robes and motioned for the students who had not yet taken their seats to take their seats.

Harry was furious about this, and he could see that more than half of the class, including Hermione and Ron, hadn't sat down yet, and it was clear that he wasn't too late.

"Before I start the class, I want to see your papers, and I hope it will be better than the last one." Snape waved his wand, and the parchments flew up and landed neatly on the podium in front of him, "I wish it could be better than the previous article on how to resist the Snatching Curse, even though it was impossible......

Snape began his teachings on the Mind Drill. Obviously, the difficulty of NEWTs and OWLs are completely different concepts, at least not in the previous textbooks about the Unforgivable Curse. Although everyone hated Snape, in their current form, they still chose to listen carefully, after all, no one could say that they would not meet those crazy dark wizards.

Except, of course, Harry.

Because of the failure to respond to the action outside the house, coupled with Snape's behavior of deducting points again for a trivial matter, Harry's heart was on fire throughout the class. Several times, he had to get up and slap Snape, but it was Ron and Hermione who grabbed him left and right. But it was clear that such a small gesture would not escape Snape's eyes, and Harry was punished for it, and Gryffindor was deducted another ten points for a substandard class answer.

The lesson was very difficult, and both Harry and Ron were sneered at by Snape. Harry was because of the problems he didn't care about, and Ron was because of the Phantom Migration. Months passed, and he was the only one of the three who still failed to succeed.

It was frustrating for Ron, who had to attend special training at Hogsmeade for the weekend, and he was the only one who wanted to. Harry and Hermione just had to wait for the exam for a while, and with their standards, it would be easy to pass.

Over the weekend, Harry and Hermione said goodbye to Ron at the school gate and turned to the castle to go, not wanting to stay even longer. Ron is not alone, and Lavender, who can also pass the exam, chooses to accompany him, and the tired appearance of being together is very uncomfortable. For this reason, they would rather give up the rare opportunity to go to Hogsmeade to relax.

"Hermione, why don't you accompany me to block Malfoy......"

On the way, Harry struggled for a long time, and finally asked.

"You might as well go straight to Slughorn's office and get that memory in your hands." Hermione replied.

"I've been trying, but I don't have a chance to be alone with him at all!" Harry said with some irritation, "He disappeared as soon as the class started, and I went to look for him myself, but he didn't open the door at all, and once I even heard the sound of a gramophone coming from inside!" ”

"It just means you're not trying hard enough, Harry......"

"Alright, I'll ...... myself," Harry said impatiently, picking up his pace a little.

Seeing this, Hermione couldn't help but shake her head slightly helplessly, and caught up in three or two steps, patting Harry's arm.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go, Harry......"
