Amosta, who was in Paris, was dealing with troubles for Hogwarts at the reception, and in Hogwarts, he was newly appointed as a teaching assistant in what was nominally a physical education class, but actually a military training class. Hermione Granger had been anxious all day.
As the gloomy sky grew darker, her state became more and more hysterical.
After dinner, in the noisy common room, small groups participating in this course had gradually gathered. Hermione paced back and forth by the fireplace, envisioning what might happen next. Her anxious look made Neville, who was already frightened, even more at a loss.
"Don't be nervous, Hermione—"
Hermione and Neville were appointed teaching assistants by Professor Blaine, which was definitely a good thing for Gryffindor, and Harry was happy about it,
"If something happens, we won't sit back and watch."
"You don't understand, Harry!"
Hermione muttered distractedly,
"Something will definitely happen, right? I have to be fully prepared to live up to Professor Blaine's trust. If Professor Blaine comes back and sees that the physical education class he attaches great importance to has been dismissed, I will definitely be He kicked out of Hogwarts!"
Hermione's assumption made Neville even more panicked. He looked helplessly darting around, hoping someone could give him a reasonable suggestion.
"But didn't Professor Blaine give you rights?"
Ron grabbed a potato pie and looked at Hermione going crazy,
"If I were you, if those Slytherin snakes dare to cause trouble, you can arrange for them to clean the bathrooms in the entire castle. I think you can talk to Percy. He has a book called "What's a Prefect Like?" "Earned Power", during the summer vacation when Percy knew he was appointed as a prefect, he kept holding on to the book. It is said that there are a thousand legal reasons for confining a young wizard."
Neville's eyes gleamed, and he seemed hesitant to speak, but Hermione stopped him with a stern tone,
"We cannot abuse our power, Neville!"
"If you are really worried about classroom discipline, Hermione -" Harry hesitated and gave a much more reliable suggestion, "I can ask Sirius. I think if he appears in the classroom, Sirius will Those people from Leitlin will definitely not dare to cause trouble for you."
This method is indeed good, and even Hermione was quite moved. However, after thinking briefly, Hermione still shook her head slightly,
"Professor Brain obviously wants us to get exercise, so this is our own business. If we go to Sirius for help, what's the point?"
"That little bastard Malfoy won't be so moral, you little fool."
Fred said in a light tone as the twins came bounding up the spiral staircase.
"No matter what, we need to rely on ourselves." The twinkling light in Hermione's eyes gradually became firm.
Harry and Ron looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. They both knew Hermione very well. She had a bright mind, but sometimes she liked to get into dead ends. Moreover, once she made up her mind on something, the ten fire dragons Can't even pull it back.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and a group of Gryffindor people were getting ready to go. Looking at Hermione who still seemed to be unable to completely get rid of her nervousness, Ron threw the remaining potato pie into his mouth and stood up as well. Come,
"I can call Seamus and Dean. If that little bastard Malfoy dares to cause trouble for you, just give a signal and we will rush in and beat him up."
"oh--"
Hermione raised her eyebrows. She looked at Ron, a smile flashed across her lips, but in the end she took a deep breath and said seriously
"Thank you, Ron, but I don't think that's going to work."
"Don't worry, we will keep an eye on her for you!"
After Fred and George ruffled Ron's hair, they left arm in arm. Harry didn't have time to say hello to Ron. He was busy cheering Neville up. After all, compared to Hermione, , Neville obviously has to bear more pressure in the position of assistant coach.
Ron stood on the sofa by the fireplace and watched a large group of people leave the common room. For some reason, he suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
"Hey, Ron, do you want to play Gobstone?"
Dean waved at him from a few seats away.
"All right--"
Ron shook his head and glanced away the strange feeling in his heart. He walked around the sofa blocking the way and sat opposite Dean.
"Have you finished the paper assigned by Professor Sprout, Dean?"
"No -" Dean lowered his head and worked on the props, and he casually replied, "But, there are still a few days, right?"
"Oh, of course!"
Ron shook his head, his expression gradually calming down.
Hermione and the others met Luna on the way to that special classroom. She was climbing the stairs alone, but there was no sense of uneasiness or loneliness on her face.
"Good evening, Luna--"
Hermione glanced at the pocket behind Luna's butt. She rolled up the pile of parchment given to her by Professor Blaine, which was said to allow people to see molesters and curved-horned snores, and inserted it into a circle behind her butt.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked tentatively.
"very good."
Luna said cheerfully, but there was a strange emotion in her silver eyes. This emotion was so contagious that even Hermione frowned after touching such a look. I felt relieved consciously,
"I can see them more clearly now, which means that I may be able to avoid their harassment one day. Oh, my dad will be surprised by the depth of Professor Blaine's research on them. Today I am thinking about it, right? I need to write a letter and tell my father about these methods——"
No one answered Luna's words, or in other words, they wanted to answer but didn't know how.
Hermione glanced at the parchment stuck behind Luna's butt curiously, and after thinking about it, she carefully suggested,
"Well, you mean, you want to show Professor Blaine's research manuscript on harassment to your father, right? Well, I think it's best to ask Professor Blaine's permission first."
After a few simple conversations, the Gryffindor group arrived at the physical education classroom.
Almost all the little wizards from Hufflepuff had arrived, and the only three little witches from Ravenclaw had also arrived. Harry was a little surprised why they didn't ask Luna to come with them. However, when he saw Cho Chang surrounded by When he saw Cedric, who was about as thin as him but much taller than him, Harry's mood became bad for no reason, and he had no intention of fighting for Luna.
Some people from Slytherin also arrived. After they glanced at the Gryffindor group indifferently, they tacitly looked away and continued their own topics.
During this period, Professor Blaine often did not show up for the whole day, and he was not seen at the staff table even during meals. Therefore, the young wizards in the other three colleges did not know that he was out.
In the next ten minutes, the door of the classroom opened and closed, and the staff gradually filled up. Malfoy and Parkinson also entered the classroom during this period. They were all waiting for Professor Blaine, who was used to appearing at the last minute.
Harry was eavesdropping on Cedric chatting with three Ravenclaw girls. As the class started approaching, his attention returned to Hermione and Neville. Neville looked like he was hopeless. Her body was as stiff as a piece of wood, and Hermione, who was adjusting her mood through rapid breathing, noticed Harry's worried eyes, and Hermione tried her best to give him a reassuring look.
"Ahem!"
At 7:59, Hermione suddenly coughed heavily. This was a signal of the pre-arranged number. The young wizards of Gryffindor immediately began to organize the team, while the young wizards of the other three houses were unclear. Watching this scene.
Neville also wanted to return to his seat, but Hermione held him back.
Neville, who was trembling with fear and sweating profusely, immediately made the little wizards in the room, whose observation skills had been trained, realize that something might happen.
Some are curious, others are cold-eyed.
"Ahem!"
Hermione coughed heavily again and glanced at Luna, who was standing aside in a daze.
"how?"
Pansy Parkinson looks mocking
"Is your throat clogged with frog brains, Granger?"
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom immediately. Most of the laughter came from Slytherin, but also from Hufflepuff classmates who thought Parkinson told a good joke.
"In fact!"
At this moment, Hermione felt that the anxiety in her heart disappeared. She did not look at Pansy Parkinson, but scanned the classroom and said loudly
"Professor Brain has left Hogwarts this morning for business. In order not to affect the progress of this class, before leaving, he appointed me, Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood as The teaching assistant for this course supervises the daily training of this course during the days when he is not in school. Now"
Hermione took a deep breath. She ignored what the Slytherins said to her and continued,
"I hope you can organize your team as soon as possible and start today's training!"
