It took a lot of effort for Zhang Qiu and Hermione to accept this fact.

"Look, I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe me, alas, it's so sad. ”

"Well, Harry, it's not because of ...... Well, I don't think I should be. Zhang Qiu apologized frankly.

Harry smiled, "Well, if you do something wrong, you will be punished, Hermione, and you agree." Your laughter just now was not small. ”

Hermione said, "Say, how do you apologize to make you satisfied?"

Harry said, "It's easy, tonight...... How's the spanking?"

Hermione and Zhang Qiu immediately took a few steps back and said nervously, "No." ”

Harry said unexpectedly: "I haven't finished yet, it's not me who does it, but you punish each other, it's okay, if you don't want to, I won't see your sincerity." ”

Hermione and Zhang Qiu looked at each other wryly, and felt that it was not so difficult to accept, at least it was much better than Harry's punishment, wasn't it?

"Hmm......" they nodded with a slight blush.

Harry said, "Remember, wear a thinner shirt and have to be in a warped position, and I'll be on the sidelines......"

......

"Harry, you ......" returns to the point, and Hermione wants to ask Harry where the big snake came from.

She suddenly thought of what happened last year, after all, there was a lot of panic at that time, and the school was almost closed.

"This ...... Is this the basilisk?" Hermione asked in shock.

"yes, you're pretty quick to think about. Harry laughed.

"I know it's a basilisk, but I ...... I didn't think it would be so huge, I thought it was just a basilisk a few meters long. Hermione's eyes widened, not knowing what to say, "And how is it ...... ...... the hell you"

"Whew...... ...... hermione took a deep breath, calming her excitement.

"Was it under your control all along, or was it what happened after that?"

"Well, it's been controlled by me since it woke up in the secret room. Harry thought for a moment, hadn't he found the ring before it could start causing casualties, so Hermione wasn't wrong.

Hermione walked around, then realized she was on top of a giant serpent's head, and stopped.

She looked like she had figured out everything: "No wonder I was worried about the existence of the Chamber of Secrets, the dangerous creatures in the Chamber of Secrets, the heirs of Slytherin, whether I would be attacked if I was a Muggle, and you mysteriously said that I would definitely not be a victim." ”

"And when I deduced that dangerous creature in the chamber was a basilisk, you didn't seem surprised that you already knew about it. ”

"Is there one?"

"There were a lot of strange things, I just didn't pay attention. Those petrified people and cats, have a doubt that has always haunted me. ”

"Seen by the basilisk, it should have died, but the victim was petrified for various reasons without looking directly into the basilisk eyes - except for Penelope and Percy. I've been wondering if they're supposed to be facing the basilisk head-on, but it doesn't make sense why they ended up petrified. ”

"Now I know, because you've been controlling it, and you're not letting it use its ability to kill. ”

"So last year's events were all because of you, and what kind of Slytherin heir are you?" Hermione was angry and wanted to bite.

Harry pressed the top of Hermione's head, "Quiet, quiet. ”

"How can it have anything to do with me? You forgot the black notebook you knew when school started last year. Zhang Qiu, that's Voldemort's Horcrux...... Hermione would definitely be willing to explain that to you later. ”

"Voldemort controlled Ron through his notebook and released the basilisk, and then I had the means to control the basilisk, it should be said that I kept the school from deaths, I'm a good person, okay. ”

"More precisely...... There has never been a successor. Slytherin left a pet at school, and his reputation has never been very good, and he belongs to the radical faction. And there has never been a shortage of conspirators and people in history who spread falsehoods. So rumors came that Slytherin had left a way to purge the school and kill all non-pure-blood wizards. ”

Voldemort liked this rumor, he wanted to agree, he wanted to take the righteous, he wanted to make his actions seem brighter, more legitimate. Poor Slytherin, who had been dead for so long, had to be so pitted by his children and grandchildren for who he didn't know how many generations. ”

Zhang Qiu said: "Although it is complicated, I know at least one thing. It turns out that it was Harry, you who turned Prefect Penelope to stone, and you should listen to how she scolded the big snake that attacked people in the common room of Ravenkera after the petrification was lifted, it seems that she scolded the wrong person. ”

Hermione shrunk her head, hugged her shoulders, and said, "Harry, let's go back." ”

She was a little uncomfortable, it had nothing to do with the basilisk, just because of ...... Girls hate all kinds of molluscs, such as snakes, centipedes, earthworms, etc.

"Good. Harry nodded, and then apparitioned Zhang Qiu and Hermione back to Hogwarts.

......

Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore pushed his glasses upwards, looked at the strangely dressed woman in front of him, and said, "So, you don't want to." ”

"Hmph. The woman who used at least a dozen kinds of aromatherapy on her body to make her dizzy and wanted to vomit shook the scarf on her arm and put it on the other arm.

"I thought about it for a moment, it was a farce, and I didn't need to have this ridiculous competition with a child. Sybil Trelawney said.

"Why?" Dumbledore was patient, and he smiled, "Sybil, that's a 10,000 gold Galleon bet, even I was a little tempted, I thought you would be very interested." As long as you use a little bit of your divination ability, won't you be able to win easily?"

Trelawney shouted in her heart: Shall I tell you that I have no faith at all!

To make sure that she could defeat Hermione Granger even with bluffing, she went to Victor, the arithmetic and divination professor she had always hated.

Want to finalize what Hermione Granger is like.

In this regard, she is really alert.

I didn't expect ......

Merlin was on top, and all she saw was something.

Victor, the woman, pulled out a bunch of Hermione Granger's homework and papers.

She picked up a piece of parchment, and the complicated numbers and tables on it made her head explode.

And the woman Victor said with a smug face that Granger was the smartest and most talented wizard she had ever brought with her, and it only took her half a year to surpass her in arithmetic and divination knowledge.

So Trelawney decided to come to Headmaster Dumbledore.

Only he could stop the fight without tarnishing her reputation.

Dumbledore said slowly, "Sybil, how long have you been at Hogwarts?"

"Thirteen years. Trelawney thought Dumbledore had relented, and looked pleased.

"Thirteen years, you know how ...... Minerva is Don't like you, she thinks you shouldn't stay in school, she persuaded me countless times to get me to expel you. ”

"You can't do that!" Trilawney said excitedly.

Dumbledore shook his head: "You have been in this position in the divination class for so long, you have not achieved anything, and a real soothsayer has not been trained at Hogwarts, and I have always turned a blind eye to these things. ”

"Don't forget!" Trelawney yelled, like an insect with outstretched wings, "It's you! who recruited me to Hogwarts, and if I was humiliated by your students and kicked out of Hogwarts, what do you think the wizarding world would think of you?

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Oh yes, that's right. When you applied for a professorship, I agreed to your request because of your prophecy. ”

"But these thirteen years, staying at Hogwarts and enjoying your comfortable life, are enough as a price. ”

"Even ...... I've been wondering what would have been possible without that prophecy of yours...... Jaime Lily, will they still have such a fate?" Dumbledore said reproachfully.

"As for my reputation...... Ha, you don't have to bother with this, I'm just an old man who is about to go into a coffin, and I still care about this?"

"So...... Get ready for Christmas Day. Dumbledore looked at Trelawney with a determined look in his eyes.

"You...... Dumbledore!" Trelawney looked ugly, then turned away with anger.

She had seen Dumbledore's unchangeable attitude.

"Boom!" the door closed loudly.

The photographs of the previous Headmasters of Hogwarts on the wall were shocked.

One of them, an old man with a full beard, a purple robe, and a black peaked hat, complained, "Albus, if you want me to say, you should have kicked this crazy woman out a long time ago." I was going to die of anger when I saw her ruining her arithmetic divination class like this. ”

Dumbledore smiled bitterly, how could this Headmaster Frieze be a professor of divination when he was in office, how could he have no opinion on Professor Trelawney.

Dumbledore took out a quill and parchment, and smiled, "Perhaps, I should publish a new job advertisement in the Daily Prophet about the vacancy of a professor in Hogwarts Divination." ”
