Winter is dwindling day by day, and spring is approaching step by step.

Now, the sun is starting to shine on Hogwarts castles again.

At the same time, optimism is spreading in the castle.

There have been no attacks for months (Justin Finchrie's disappearance is still hidden, so no one knows about it), and Madam Pomfrey has the heartwarming news that Ronald Weasley, the only "victim" who has not yet been discharged from the hospital, is also improving, and he will be discharged in a month or two at most.

"Perhaps, the attacker hiding in Hogwarts has lost his courage!" Matthew often hears people discuss: "He was shocked by Professor Grindelwald, even if Professor Grindelwald was no longer at Hogwarts in the last month, he still didn't dare to show up!"

Of course, this "optimistic" mood did not affect the two children, Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom.

They know the "inside story" and are still struggling to investigate the truth.

They tried to keep track of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Rozier, while avoiding her detection.

Overall, though, Hogwarts is moving in a good direction.

......

On February 14th, when Matthew Wakefield appeared in the auditorium and was ready to have breakfast, he thought he had gone to the wrong door.

The whole hall has changed dramatically as it did on Christmas and Halloween.

Large, dazzling pink flowers were scattered on all four walls, and at the same time, heart-shaped confetti was falling from the ceiling, and when they touched their bodies, they turned into ashes and disappeared completely......

Matthew felt a little confused.

He made his way to the Slytherin table, where he saw Prefect Gamma Farley eating breakfast.

"What's going on?" Matthew asked as he sat down beside her, puzzled, "The costumes?"

"It's Valentine's Day. Garma replied as a matter of course: "Once a year, a day worth celebrating!"

"So......" Matthew nodded his head, still looking around in surprise.

He couldn't remember that at Hogwarts, Valentine's Day, a not-so-important holiday, had such a large celebration decoration.

"It's been a celebration for decades, and today the front door of the castle will be open all day, and the garden will be open to all students!" said Garma with a smile, "In addition, students from the fourth grade and above will be given a one-day vacation......

"Yes. Matthew blinked, "So, what about students like us below the third grade? Do we have a holiday?"

"No!" said Garma very dryly, "You have to go to class as usual!"

"......," Matthew was momentarily speechless.

"After dinner, there was a celebration...... It is said that when the event is at the end of the day, Professor Grindelwald will also participate!" said Garma with some cryptism.

"Of course, it has nothing to do with our junior students......" Matthew pouted.

"You're still young, after all. Garma smiled and touched Matthew's head.

With that, she put down the cutlery in her hand and got up to leave.

Matthew quickly finished breakfast as well.

However, when he reached the hallway, he found pairs of Hogwarts students, talking affectionately here, and then they walked to the garden by the castle.

Hogwarts' gardens are rarely open on weekdays, and the scenery inside is said to be beautiful...... It's just that Matthew hasn't been there yet.

But there is no time to pass now, because in the morning, they still have a class on herbal medicine.

Matthew walked around a golden cherub flying in mid-air and walked in the direction of the greenhouse.

......

In the new semester's herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout fulfilled her promise from last semester.

She begins to take the first-year students to the third greenhouse, where they will learn more about magical plants, some of which are even "dangerous".

Today, for example, they are faced with some damp vines.

These vines grow in dark, damp conditions, curled up in a dark green hue and with long, snake-like tendrils.

"Does anyone know what these vines are?" Professor Sprout asked aloud, looking at the first-year students of Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

Someone grabbed ahead of Matthew and raised his hand high.

"Miss Granger?"

"These are devil's webs, Professor. Hermione replied.

"That's a great point!" Professor Sprout's voice was full of praise, "And Miss Granger, can you tell me about the characteristics of the Devil's Web?"

"A mature devil's web is capable of stretching out tendrils like snakes around those who come close to it, causing injury or death to the characters. However, when the entangled person relaxes and no longer struggles, the devil's net will be released...... At the same time, the Devil's Web is afraid of fire and sunlight......" Hermione replied in a flurry of beads.

She was also praised by Professor Sprout for this.

Hermione's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glanced at Matthew with some smugness.

The herb class continued, and Professor Sprout continued to introduce them to the features of the Devil's Web and gave them their first exposure to this dangerous plant......

All in all, it was a very interesting herbal lesson.

And when Professor Sprout announced the end of the class, everyone was a little reluctant.

......

As soon as the Ravenclaw and Slytherin freshmen left the greenhouse, the sharp-eyed Matthew noticed that in the direction of the castle, the snow-white owl was flying towards them.

Back on the Hogwarts Express, Matthew had known the owl...... Its name is "Inches", and its owner is Neville Longbottom.

The owl flew to Hermione's side and dropped a note in her hand, and then Matthew threw a note.

Matthew and Hermione glanced at each other, and quickly quietly broke away from the large group and came to a nearby corner.

The note in the hands of the two of them has exactly the same content.

And the handwriting is very sloppy, and it can be seen that its owner was in a hurry when he wrote this note.

The above content is:

"Come to the garden, there's an accident!"
