Chapter 535: A Month Later

"--I must admit that you are a noble little wizard--"

Professor Moody's muffled voice echoed through the gloomy foyer, and Hermione, who had borne the brunt of it, turned pale with a flush, and she shivered slightly with fear as she stared blankly at Moody's terrifying blue magic eye.

When Harry heard this, his eyes widened, and his heart had already risen to his throat, and he remembered that when he was in Hagrid's hut before, the blue light flashed through the dark window, and then looked at Moody's magic eye, Harry subconsciously exclaimed,

"Earlier at Hagrid's Cottage, you were right outside the window!"

"Oh, very good, Mr. Potter, you're sharp--"

Professor Moody didn't hide his thoughts at all, he looked at Harry, his tone full of appreciation,

"When I came back from patrolling the Forbidden Forest and saw three men sneaking towards Hagrid's house in their invisibility cloaks, I didn't have a reason not to check on the situation as a professor, did I? What if these are three dark wizards with bad intentions! ”

If you can see through the cloaks of invisibility, how can you not find out who they really are?

Harry was guilty, but he didn't dare point out Professor Moody's lies.

"So, Miss Granger--" Professor Moody's blue magic eye was aimed at Hermione, and somehow Harry felt that Professor Moody didn't seem to be that angry, and even seemed to be secretly happy about their actions,

"I must admit that you surprised me-"

Professor Moody slammed over to Hermione on crutches. The height difference between him and Hermione wasn't that big, but because of Hermione's head down, it looked like Professor Moody was a lot taller than Hermione, and he looked down at Hermione condescendingly, his wounded throat sounding like the whistling of a leaky bellows

"In my long career, I've seen a lot of bad guys, and I've sent many of them to Azkaban with my own hands, but I didn't expect a little wizard like you to exist—"

Professor Moody looked at the top of Hermione's head and said appreciatively,

"You respect life, Miss Granger, and you want to help them fight for even the poor, lowly house-elfs, and I can tell you that there are few wizards who claim to be righteous who have such a good heart as you-"

Hermione looked up, incredulous.

She thought that she would be greeted by Professor Moody's stormy reprimand, thinking about the last time Malfoy attacked Harry, Professor Moody's behavior, Hermione thought that she might also be cursed twice, but she didn't expect Professor Moody to praise her.

And this, on the contrary, made Hermione ashamed.

"I shouldn't have lied to you, Professor Moody, I—I just-"

Hermione's tone was intermingled with crying in her explanatory tone, and Professor Moody interrupted Hermione,

"No need to explain, Miss Granger, no one wants to be punished--"

Moody stepped out of the way, leaving the crack in the door for them,

"But now it's time for you guys to go back to your dormitories, and Bryan sometimes wanders around the castle in the middle of the night, and I'm not sure he'll be very generous with you."

"You're going to let us go!"

Ron said in surprise,

"Don't give us points, lockdown, or tell Professor McGonagall about our night outing?!"

"If you want me to do that, Mr. Weasley!" Professor Moody let out a horrified laugh, "It's not like I can't help with this!" ”

The three of them rushed up the stairs in the foyer almost as fast as they could flee, completely oblivious to the fact that Professor Moody had been standing in the dark foyer, staring at their fleeing backs with deep eyes until their backs were gone.

"I didn't expect him to let us go!"

Stepping from the portrait of the fat lady into the common room, where only a faint glow remained, Ron said in shock.

"And his eye can see through the cloak of invisibility—" Harry said immediately, "Except for Professor Dumbledore and Professor Blaine!" ”

"I'm going to hurry back to my dorm and think about what we're going to do before I go to bed—"

After this, Hermione was not only not in a low mood, but seemed to be encouraged, her eyes were shining, and she hurried to the girls' dormitory.

"Are you crazy!" Ron yelled at Hermione's back, "That elf of yours almost killed the three of us by Moody!" ”

Hermione stomped up the spiral staircase of the girls' dormitory with a vigorous stride, deaf to Ron's cries.

"I think she's crazy!" Ron looked at Harry and said angrily, "When the hell will she be able to stop?" ”

Harry shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

Hermione didn't become as quiet as Ron had hoped, but faithfully followed what she said.

For the next month or so, nothing new happened at Hogwarts, and if I had to find one, it would be the one Hermione Granger had made. Although Hermione hadn't been to Hagrid's cabin every day since that night, she would always force Harry and Ron to go see Donmu whenever she could.

Harry and Ron had also had the privilege of witnessing the unusual growth rate of the house-elves, and in just over a month, Tum had gone from not much older than a goblin to about the height of Dobby.

Hermione had been trying to teach Tim to rest and enjoy life, but it was completely useless, and her order to Tim not to allow him to do chores for Hagrid didn't help, because, for Winter, work was rest and enjoyment.

Hagrid's house has changed dramatically since Tim moved into Hagrid's hut.

The room, which had always been dark except for the sunny days, and was filled with the smell of all kinds of magical creatures, was brightened, and Wintermu had wiped the windows and floors of Hagrid's hut spotlessly stained with oil, and the stove, which had been used for nearly half a century, had regained its metallic sheen.

Hagrid's damp and smelly bedding was always clean, and the black hair on his teeth was shiny.

Wintermu would also sneak into the vegetable garden to weed, remove insects, and water Hagrid while he was sleeping at night, in short, Wintermu had no idea about the fried tail snails that Hagrid raised, and he almost kept Hagrid's life in order.

"Just put it on me, Hermione--"

One day, when Hermione, who couldn't stand Dongm's hard work anymore, was desperate to take him back to the castle and raise it secretly, Hagrid struggled to stare at the beetle-like black eyes and pleaded,

"I promise to teach Tonmu how to enjoy life!"

Hermione still brought Winters back to the castle, and only two days after she hid them in the chest of drawers in the common room, Hermione sent Winter, which was immediately a mess, to Hagrid's cabin, where she couldn't explain to her classmates what was going on with the polished floor of the common room, and the girls were cleanly washed and neatly folded at the bedside. They never give these clothes to the school's laundry room.

Lavender screamed to tell Professor McGonagall about this, but Hermione used some excuse to hold her back.

In addition, Hermione's Elf Advocacy Association has also received a setback.

She was literally in Professor Bryan's gym class, while everyone was lining up to practice dodging, and telling everyone about the injustice of house-elves, so you can imagine how the Slytherin guys laughed at her.

"You see yourself in those little guys, don't you, Granger?"

Pansy Parkinson laughed loudly.

Unfazed, Hermione still holds a piggy bank for collecting dues, and tries to convince Ernie to join the guild.

It's not that no one joined, people like Ginny, Luna and Hannah were indeed willing to listen to Hermione's nagging, and pay her two dues to the silver sico, Qiu Zhang also joined, she was personally invited by Harry, but recalling the stunned look on Qiu Zhang when he first heard this, Harry always felt that Qiu Zhang probably just couldn't save face.

In addition, Professor Bryan also made some contributions, he was very generous with ten gold gallons, and did not stop Hermione from messing around in his class, and for that alone, Harry felt that what Hagrid said was not bad at all, Professor Bryan was indeed a very great wizard, and not only powerful.

Late October, Wednesday night.

In Professor Bryan's physical education class, a new situation has happened.
