"Harry! Harry! "Before school started, both Maple and Hermione rushed back from abroad. Once in Diagon Alley, Hermione meets the Weasleys, who have just returned from Egypt, and Hermione and Ron come to Harry.

Ron had changed so much after a trip to Egypt that they were almost unrecognizable, and Harry's expression was similar to when Hermione first met Ron.

Hermione's face was also tanned, presumably from running outside for a long time. Harry and Ron and Hermione all saw the change in Hermione when they met, except for Maple, who didn't feel at all how different Hermione was from before the holidays because he was with Hermione every day.

It's like a hypothetical scenario where a person loses dozens of hairs every day, and the hair that falls out doesn't grow back. This frequency of hair loss continued every day, and then one day, after this man lost dozens of hairs, his head was visibly bald.

If you have never been in contact with him or have not seen him for a long time, the first thing you see is that he is bald.

But if it is a friend who comes into contact with him every day, the frequency of dozens of hairs falling out every day makes people not notice the change in the number of his hairs. The default way of remembering the human brain is to compare it with the previous impression of the target object.

So much so that the friends who witnessed the process of this person's baldness every day may not have noticed that his friend was bald without being reminded by others.

"Where's Maple?" Harry turned his head to search behind Hermione to no avail, then turned his gaze to Hermione and asked.

"I don't know!" Hermione muffled, and Harry noticed that Hermione's tone seemed a little unpleasant. Ron frantically shook his head at Harry, a question he had already asked before, and Hermione was on the same face at the time.

Harry immediately shut his mouth at Ron's reminder and stopped continuing the conversation. It's just that both he and Ron are extremely curious, and they can't help but wonder in their minds what happened unpleasantly between Hermione and Maple.

Lu Xiaobu is right, gossip is the second greatest instinct of human beings, this sentence is too reasonable.

Now Harry's heart was itching, and the fire of gossip was burning violently in his chest, but it was quickly extinguished by Ron's basin of cold water-

"Did you really blow up your aunt, Harry?"

"I didn't mean to, I just lost control for a while." As soon as Ron spoke, Harry was depressed, he should have kicked the man who couldn't speak.

Or Luna saw Ron thoroughly-

"Ron can be funny and a little mean."

Ron has low self-esteem under pressure from his five older brothers, but he shouldn't be thinking about the feelings of others, especially his best friend.

Ron is a bit self-centered, and he's going to fall out with Hermione over a broken rat.

Even if Spotted wasn't an Animagus, Ron shouldn't have valued a rat more than his friends.

Seeing that Ron was smiling, Hermione said in a somewhat sharp tone, "There's nothing funny about this, Ron." ”

But Ron, though he restrained himself a bit, continued to smile on his lips.

"To be honest, I was surprised that Harry wasn't fired." Hermione said, Harry agreed, plus last year's criminal record, Harry was already the second time that he had violated the rules, and Harry was very surprised that he was safe, and he even thought about being expelled, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to run away immediately after blowing up Aunt Maggie.

"Do you know Sirius Black? He escaped from the Wizard's Prison! Hermione said in amazement, Hermione had seen Blake's news from the Daily Prophet, and then learned about Azkaban. The more familiar she was with Azkaban, the more shocked Hermione became. It's amazing how Sirius Black was able to escape from a heavily guarded magical prison without a wand, but how did he do it?

Harry and Ron were obviously interested in the issue, and the three of them had a heated discussion.

Before finding Harry, Hermione and Ron had already bought all their textbooks. Hermione wanted to thank Maple, but it wasn't for him who taught Hermione the Traceless Stretching Charm, and Hermione couldn't easily pack all her textbooks in a single bag. And it looks like the bag is baggy, and there seems to be extra space.

The three of them got together for the first time after the holiday, and they chatted happily together for a long time.

Then Hermione takes the ten Galleons that the Granger and his wife have advanced to buy her a birthday present, and Ron also goes to the pet store to check on his pet mouse spot, which has suddenly become sick. (There is a mistake in the front, Hermione's birthday is on September 19th, and after the school starts, Hermione's birthday celebration is considered a happy birthday for her, but unfortunately I wanted to change it when I found out, but I couldn't change it.) ）

Ron buys some rat tonic for Spotted the Mouse, while the clever cat, Crookshan, jumps out of his cage to catch Spotted.

Crookshank Mountain jumped straight from the cage to Ron's head, nearly scratching his scalp, and Blob ran for his life, and was finally rescued by Ron, still shivering in Ron's pocket.

And this farce also made Hermione pay attention to the clever cat Crookshan, perhaps it was the same wisdom that created the fate between him and Hermione. After learning a little about Crookshank Mountain from the salesperson, Hermione immediately bought it with compassion and gave up her original plan to buy an owl.

Hermione still chose the pet cat whose head seemed to be flattened, and Maple looked at Crookshan's somewhat funny face with some curiosity.

"Hermione, aren't you going to buy an owl? How did I buy a cat, it looks good, it's quite special! Maple, who happened to meet them outside the pet store, said in surprise that he was not alone at the moment, but that he was accompanied by a fair-faced but delicate-looking girl.

"She's got a lot of shone fur." Hermione said, though she wasn't a little upset when she was playing with the Crook Mountain hair in her arms.

"That's right, I haven't prepared a birthday present for you yet, so why don't I give you an owl?" Maple said to Hermione.

"Good!" After hearing Maple's words, Hermione's mood seemed to be much better, but as soon as she finished speaking, the little girl next to Maple also immediately said to Maple-

"Brother, I want an owl too!"

"Okay, no problem, I just bought it for you together!" Maple said heartily.

Hermione's face turned cloudy again, and when Maple wasn't looking, the girl next to him and Hermione glanced at each other, and the air between them seemed to spark.

But when Maple turned his gaze to them, they returned to normal, as if their eye exchange hadn't happened.
