Ginny didn't have time to worry about the mood of her two brothers. There was a group activity in the school before Christmas, and she had to make a list of supplies.
Since that conversation with Ani, Hermione has slowly separated herself from the tedious daily work of the club, making the lives of the key members of the club more "fulfilling".
Ginny is not disgusted with this. As the most favored little sister in the family, she really enjoys this kind of thing that comes from "talent" rather than "love".
But coupled with her studies, time was indeed becoming increasingly scarce. In order not to continue to appropriate the share of play and leisure, she had to be more efficient, so after exchanging a few questions with the president, Ginny also He said goodbye and left.
"I'm back."
Hermione pushed open the wooden door of her office, took off her boots and put on cat-eared cotton slippers, and stretched her waist lazily.
"I thought Ginny would come in with you."
Aini put away the extra cups and poured himself and the girl a cup of Linlu each.
"The club will have a gathering in Hogsmeade in a few days. There is a huge shortage of supplies. Ginny went to make statistics."
The girl came over and sank into the sofa, picked up the cup and took a sip, then continued: "Hogsmeade has been closed for more than two months, and the students are going crazy."
Not long ago, Sirius appeared at the edge of the Albanian forest. The British Ministry of Magic has submitted a note to the relevant local departments to prepare for a cross-border arrest. The domestic martial law has naturally been relaxed.
The Ministry of Magic removed the Dementors from Hogsmeade the day before yesterday, and the school took the opportunity to resume Hogsmeade weekend.
"Speaking of which, have you figured out what's so special about Albania?" Hermione turned into a curious baby, casually loosening her tie and spreading herself flat on the sofa.
She knew something about Sirius, and Black's appearance in Albania must have been Aini's instruction.
"Yes, but I don't know the specific situation."
Aini has been to Albania once, but his keen sense prevented him from entering the dark forest.
After returning, he asked McGonagall and Dumbledore, and also checked some information himself, but did not get a clear answer.
But what is certain is that it is the source of a lot of dark magic. Aini speculated that there might be a weak point in the Blue Star barrier in Albania that would make it more susceptible to the influence of other worlds, but it was just speculation and lacked strong evidence.
"Sending Sirius there this time has nothing to do with the speculation just now. It is mainly to divert the attention of the Ministry of Magic and give Fudge a place to exert his power, so as not to bother Hogwarts every day."
After Aini finished speaking about his guess, he rubbed the girl's fluffy hair and showed a kind smile on his lips.
"Old Tom is getting older. He might have left behind some things in Albania that he had forgotten. Since he has also come to Hogwarts, why not ask the Ministry of Magic to send someone to help look for it. Sitting in an office every day is quite boring anyway. , isn’t it?”
Even excluding the days of lingering after losing his body, before Voldemort disrupted England, he stayed in the Albanian forest for a long time, close to or even more than one-third of his previous life.
Even Lockhart wouldn't believe it if there was nothing fishy in it. …."Can you take me to have a look? I don't plan to go home during the Christmas holiday anyway."
Hermione didn't believe it either, so she became even more curious after hearing Aini's words.
"Aren't you going to see the runes?"
Ani raised her hand and patted the girl's little head, which was about to synchronize with the cat.
"Of course, but the vacation lasts for two weeks. We can take one day, or two, to see if the people at the Ministry of Magic will find anything interesting."
The little witch grabbed the big hand on her head and sat up excitedly. Suddenly she thought of the twins' proposal just now and added another sentence.
"It just so happened that Fred and George proposed to organize a club party during the Christmas vacation. You can bring family members. We can go to Albania first and join the activities in the evening."
Hermione was so pleased with herself that she was the master of time management, but she didn't want to be picked up by Ani in the next second.
Placed squarely on the sofa.
"Parties are fine, but don't even think about Albania. Even I don't want to enter that place."
Ani replied quickly and helped the girl straighten out half of her tie. Hermione was about to open her mouth to complain when there was a knock on the door behind her.
While Ani went to open the door, Hermione quickly moved her little hands and tied the tie again - the effect of a man tying a tie on others is really hard to describe.
"Great, you're all here."
There was Draco at the door, seemingly in a hurry, with a bit of a blush on his face after running.
"Someone was attacked. It's Romilda Vanney, a reserve member of the club, Gryffindor's new student this year."
Draco said hurriedly after taking a breath. Although he was not a weak young man who lacked exercise, he was still exhausted from running all the way.
"Where?"
Hearing this, Ani quickly took Hermione with one hand, put the other hand on Malfoy's shoulder, and asked hurriedly.
"Mrs. Norris found her in the trophy room, and Filch sent her to the school doctor's office."
When Draco spit out the first landmark, Ani almost apparated directly there. Fortunately, because the anxious boy spoke quickly, he got out the rest of the words before he started.
Knowing that the injured person had been sent to Madam Pomfrey, Ani let go of the two small ones, stretched out his hand to the coat hanger, and the coat flew over and was put on him.
Now that the person has been properly placed, there is no need to reveal that he can apparate in the castle. It is better to leave it as a surprise for little Tom in the future.
The school doctor's office is on the second floor. When Ani arrived, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were walking out of a ward.
"Oh, Ani, it's so terrible."
After meeting, Minerva hugged her protégé, with tears in her red eyes.
Ani patted the teacher's back gently and looked at Dumbledore.
"Someone used an acid spell to attack Ms. Vanni. All the skin on her upper body was completely corroded. The injuries were less severe in places covered by clothes, and..."
The old principal spoke a little slower than usual, especially at the end, as every stress seemed to be accumulating anger.
"She was still conscious when she was brought here."
As Dumbledore's words fell, the anger in Aini's heart rose instantly, and a carefree smiling face appeared in his mind.
She was a bold and enthusiastic girl who usually looked careless. She didn't expect to suffer such cruel torture just two months after school started.
Ani suddenly had the urge to find Peter out now, but then he remembered the scene when he met Flint on the eighth floor.
Whoever it is, I'll get you!
