It's another new day, and the students of Hogwarts gather in the great hall as usual, enjoying a delicious and varied breakfast.
The trio sat with Cedric again, but compared to yesterday, there were a few more figures around them now.
A girl with a rosy complexion and two golden braids is none other than the Iron Hat King Hannah Abbott.
The other is a little girl whose hair color is somewhat similar to Hermione's, but redder and with a slightly rounder face. Her name is Susan Bones. Her aunt is the current Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Miria Bones.
A curly-haired, rather bookish boy, Justin Finch-Fletchley, just like Hermione before, was a pure freshman from an ordinary family.
When I introduced myself in the lounge yesterday, I advertised that I should have gone to Eton.
It's a pity that most of the students at Hogwarts come from magical or semi-magical families and have no idea about the so-called Eton College.
It actually got Harry's exclamation - in the original book, Harry had no idea about Eton due to personal knowledge issues, but because of his early contact with Hermione in this era, he had a little more knowledge and understanding. Hermione was originally going to the famous Headington Girls' High School, and she also learned that Eton was a boys' school ranked only slightly worse than Headington.
So Harry immediately exclaimed, "You are as good as Hermione."
Then it caught the kid's attention.
The last one was a handsome boy with short blond hair named Ernie MacMillan. He was from a pure-blood family and seemed to have known Cedric for a long time.
A group of people chatted while eating, and the atmosphere can be said to be quite harmonious.
"Today's food is much better than yesterday's!" Hermione took a fresh green apple and took a bite of it with satisfaction.
It has to be said that as a free school, Hogwarts is impeccable in terms of food and accommodation.
Hufflepuff students, in particular, can even enjoy ordering meals to a certain extent - who wants their dormitory to be next to the kitchen?
Occasionally, a little badger passing by may whisper something about what he wants to eat tomorrow. If the house elf in the kitchen hears it, there is a high probability that this dish will appear on the table the next day.
For example, Hermione complained yesterday that the college's food was too high in sugar, fat, and protein, and that there were too few fresh fruits and vegetables.
As a result, the proportion and variety of fruits and vegetables in today’s breakfast have increased a lot.
At this time, a burst of birdsong suddenly sounded in the sky.
Hearing this sound, the students became excited.
Because it's the hoot of owls - owls delivering the mail.
Then various owls flew in from the skylight of the hall, dropping packages of different sizes into the hands of the children where they were supposed to go.
Compared to the panic when they saw this scene for the first time yesterday, the freshmen behaved much calmer today.
Neville received a small package and opened it to see that it was a memory ball.
Looking at the memory ball, Neville smiled slightly and put it away.
This thing is of little use to him now. Even if he doesn't need the memory ball now, he won't forget most things.
An unfamiliar owl flew over Hermione's head and dropped a roll of newspapers.
This is the exclusive newspaper delivery owl for the Daily Prophet. Because the owl that delivers the newspaper is different every time, Hermione does not deliberately remember them.
As a top student who likes to read, Hermione also likes to read newspapers. After coming into contact with the wizarding world through John, she ordered this newspaper, which is known as the most authoritative newspaper in the British wizarding world - although in John's words, its reporting is very biased. .
But we have to admit that as a daily newspaper, its news is indeed the most timely.
So even if many wizards don't like this newspaper, they still order it to get first-hand advice from the wizarding world.
What's more, this newspaper is so cheap, only 5 kats per copy, and less than 4 galleons a year. Of course, if the newspaper is delivered to someone like Hermione, there will be additional delivery fees, but in total It's only 5 Galleons.
Because John undertook most of the study and living expenses, Hermione, the little rich girl who saved all her own credit, said it was all small money!
"Oh..." Hermione's eyes widened as she opened the newspaper and read the headlines.
"What's wrong? Has Gringotts been stolen again?" Harry on the side saw her look and couldn't help asking jokingly.
A month ago, on his birthday, he knew about the theft of Gringotts - because of John and Hermione's premature intervention in life, Harry in this time and space had far less news about the wizarding world than in the original work. There is a lag, so you don’t have to wait until after school started to occasionally see Hagrid’s newspaper clippings to find out about such a big thing as the theft of Gringotts (in the movie, you read Ron’s newspaper).
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hermione looking at him with a strange look.
"No? Are you serious?" Harry couldn't believe it.
Others who heard this also looked at Hermione.
"I think you should follow John to Rome. Your mouth is a great prophecy...here!" Hermione handed the newspaper over and said.
Harry took the newspaper in a daze, and Cedric and Neville also came over.
"Gringotts was violently invaded by a dozen people late last night. Although no one died, dozens of staff and guards were injured. The famous Lestrange family treasure trove was looted. In view of the contemporary situation of the Lestrange family, The identity of the person, there is reason to believe that this incident is related to the mysterious remnant party!" Cedric quickly read out the contents of the newspaper.
The children around him immediately started talking when they heard the news.
Known as the safest place in the world, Gringotts was violently captured?
"Guess what I saw?" Just as the students were discussing what happened to Gringotts and who was the one who captured Gringotts, a senior Slytherin student ran in from outside. vocal channel.
"Minister of Magic Fudge came to school again. This time they brought a lot of people, and they all wore badges. They have all gone to the principal's office!" Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face. A satisfied smile, and then loudly announced again.
Hearing the news, the buzz in the hall became louder.
Except for a small number of ordinary students who may not know what the members of the Ministry of Magic wearing badges represent, most students who have been born in the magical world since childhood know very well - it represents Aurors!
Although there were Aurors among the people who came to school yesterday, there was only one.
This time, there were many of them, which had completely different meanings.
"Ha, Dumbledore must have done something wrong, and the Aurors are here to catch him!" A Slytherin student immediately said in surprise, and several students around him showed expressions of approval.
Not surprising... If there is any student in this school who doesn't like Dumbledore, it's definitely Slytherin, even if it's only a part of it.
Who made Old Den also a Gryffindor?
But what he got were glares from the other three academy students.
It was at this time that someone revealed more evidence that Dumbledore was in trouble!
"I heard that one of the people who robbed Gringotts could summon a phoenix!"
