According to Ron and Hermione's wishes, they were going to come over after dinner to chat with Harry, but Harry refused their offer and asked Ron to go back to the dormitory and bring his bag for him.

"I'm missing some schoolwork."

Harry sat on the bed and opened his bag for a look, and then, in the worried eyes of Ron and Hermione, said with a pretended relief,

"I need a quiet environment to handle my history of magic homework, so you can go about your business as well."

Harry's clumsy lies could not be concealed from anyone, and Ron looked at Harry on the bed worriedly, ready to say something, but Hermione, who was beside her, smashed his ribs hard and ordered him to shut up.

"Well, Harry--"

Hermione glared at Ron, "If you need any help--"

Hermione quickly glanced at the invisibility cloak that showed a corner of her schoolbag and said,

"Ron and I are in the break room, you can call us at any time."

Then, without saying a word, he pulled a confused Ron out of the school hospital.

Time flew by, and before I knew it, the sky had dimmed without a glimmer of light.

As a regular visitor to the school hospital, Harry had already learned Madam Pomfrey's habits very well, and when the time came to nine o'clock, Madam Pomfrey left her small office and walked around the wards, and when she saw Harry sleeping obediently, she nodded with satisfaction, and then scolded Ravenclaw for sleeping two first-year wizards with a severe cold, and then extinguished the candles throughout the hospital.

In the darkness, Harry listened attentively, and when he confirmed that Madam Pomfrey had returned to the office, he glanced several beds away, where the two first-year freshmen, who were chatting and chatting intently, slid off the edge of the bed.

When it comes to wandering around the castle in the middle of the night, in the whole of Hogwarts, if Harry calls himself third, then no one dares to call him second... As for the number one, Ron's two older brothers, Fred and George, tied for first place.

Now, although it is not yet the allotted time, there is no one in the castle anymore, and along the way, except for a few fifth-year students who are facing the OWLS exam in the second half of the year, Harry only found Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle walking in the direction of the Slytherin basement when he passed the Great Hall, and everyone's face was dejected.

Wrong...

Harry glanced out at the black oppression, thinking strangely.

He subconsciously chased after him a few steps, and then, he was forced back by a disgusting stench.

Oh, that's right!

Harry suddenly remembered that Professor Bryan had said the day before yesterday before the interesting competition that the winning house would get 50 points, while the losing house would need to clean up at the owl shed on the weekend.

In that race, Malfoy and Parkinson had a big head start and lost their victory due to a series of complicated factors, and based on what Harry knew about the nasty house, they would probably have thrown all the blame to Malfoy... Parkinson pushed himself and Neville off the boat, which was probably one of the few bright spots in Slytherin's eyes, so Malfoy should bear all the consequences.

As for Crabbe and Goyle, it is estimated that they were strengthened by Malfora.

Looking at the dejected backs of the three Slytherins, Harry instinctively wanted to sneer happily, but, thinking about Malfoy's 'noble' behavior after he and Neville were pushed into the water, Harry hesitated, and finally, after shaking his head silently, quietly walked in the other direction.

On the third floor, on the way to Professor Blaine's office, Harry waited for a moment in front of Professor Lupin's office.

Harry also has a great affection for this year's professor, who has a gentle temper and has been widely praised for his teaching... Not just a good feeling, but an inexplicable kindness, Harry could also feel Professor Lupin's attitude towards him, and it was also a relationship that was beyond normal teacher and student.

"It's not common for a wizard to call Voldemort by his name--"

Remembering the last time the big guy went to Hogsmeade and met Lupin, Harry grunted as he hid under the invisibility cloak.

In the end, Harry didn't choose to knock on Professor Lupin's office, and although he was concerned about Professor Lupin's condition, he didn't want to disturb his rest.

Seeing Professor Bryan made Harry's mood much more relaxed.

Professor Bryan helped himself get rid of the identity of the 'Slytherin Secret Room', which was a great favor for him, and during the summer vacation, he also let himself know his deepest secret, Professor Bryan's own background, which until now, Harry has not revealed to Ron and Hermione.

He spent most of the entire month with Professor Blaine, and to be honest, it was a very pleasant summer vacation, because Professor Blaine never posed as an associate professor or an adult wizard in front of him, and you could sense that he was always with him with the peace of mind of a friend.

Tuk, tuk, tuk--

After looking left and right to make sure there were no other people or ghosts scurrying around, Harry removed his invisibility cloak, crumpled it up and stuffed it into his bag, and then knocked on the door to Professor Blaine's office.

Professor Bryan, dressed in gray pajamas and covered with a dark green background with silver patterns, appeared in front of him.

Professor Bryan looked a little tired, for Harry had seen a dark circle under his wonderful lilac eyes, and Professor Bryan's gray hair was a bit messy, as if he hadn't gone out today.

"Harry--"

Amosta, who knew who it was before opening the door, looked at Harry, who looked a little apprehensive, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile,

"Looks like you're recovering well?"

"That's right, Professor Blaine--"

Harry said a little awkwardly, "Madam Pomfrey thinks so too, well... She thought I could be discharged early..."

Amosta's lips pursed, he glanced at the bag Harry was carrying, didn't puncture his lies, just let them go, and said gently,

"Of course so, then... It's a bit cold outside, so we can come in and have a slow chat. ”

That's why Professor Bryan is so liked, he's always so empathetic!

Harry looked up brightly, and followed Professor Bryan into the office.

"Professor Lu, Professor Lupin?"

Harry blinked in astonishment when the door creaked shut, and he saw a man dressed in old wizard's robes and with an obvious sickly look on his face beside the burning fireplace

"Professor Lu, Professor Lupin?"

"Good evening, Harry."

Against the backdrop of the golden fire, the smile on Professor Lupin's face was extraordinarily soft,

"I'm glad to see you so energetic, Harry."

After saying this, Lupin looked at Amosta, who was back at his desk,

"Thank you for your care and help these two days, Amosta, I think I can get back to my work tomorrow... Since Harry has something to do with you--"

"Oh, actually, it's nothing!"

Harry said embarrassedly,

"Just, just... Well, I heard from Ron and Hermione yesterday, I mean, after I lost consciousness, you cast a spell... Well, it's wonderful..."

Amosta and Remus exchanged glances, both with a smile on their faces.

"So--"

Amosta said happily,

"Did you come here to praise me, Mr. Potter?"
