Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

“Is anyone we know dead?” Ron asked pretending to be casual.

Every time Hermione opens the newspaper, he asks the question.

Since the summer vacation, tragic things have been happening every day, making people nervous. Everyone is more concerned about the current situation in the magic world. But Ron himself doesn't subscribe to newspapers and Lavender doesn't, so his source is Hermione, and then he's going to repeat it to Lavender.

Every morning Hermione reads them some important news of the day.

Sometimes Neville, Ginny, and Colin would come and listen to her read the paper and make a few more comments.

“There are no dead people, but there have been reports of psychedelic attacks.” Another person was arrested, "Hermione said. ”

“Wonderful. Who is it?” Harry immediately asked that this was probably the best news he had heard in the near future.

Although the Ministry of Magic incident last semester captured many important Death Eaters in Azkaban, weakening Voldemort's power, there are still plenty of missed fish, more than just the Death Eaters Ivan and Harry met at Voldemort's resurrection ceremony that day.

Not to mention Voldemort's power has been growing lately.

“Stan Sampak.” Hermione said.

“What?”

“How could it be him? ”

“The Knight Bus salesman, what did he do?” Ivan also asked, remembering the young man with the acne on his face, who, according to his knowledge, had a sense of humor and was very fond of bragging, talking and being brilliant.

Thompuck did cause a lot of trouble, but Ivan wouldn't believe it if he was a Death Eater.

Voldemort was not solicited by any sorcerer, and as his elite army, the Death Eaters had a very high selection threshold.

If even guys like Sampak were allowed in, they'd be too underestimating Voldemort.

“Stan Sampak!” Hermione reads, "The famous Knight Bus ticket salesman was arrested on suspicion of engaging in cannibal activities. Mr. Sampak is 21 years old and Awlo detained him last night after raiding his residence in Krapen District..."

“He can't be a Death Eater!” Before Hermione finished, Harry made his decision.

“If he is, he's probably the dumbest Death Eater I've ever seen!” Elaine said.

“Probably a soul-snatching spell.” Ron reasonably analyzes, “that's not true! ”

“He's just a ticket clerk on the Knight Bus, and it doesn't make any sense to control him.” Ivan shook his head.

“Yes, it says here that he was arrested only after he was heard talking about the Death Eater's secret plan in a tavern.” Hermione raised her head with a distressed look on her face, "Too stupid to discuss the secret plans of the Death Eaters in front of so many people, if he was cursed of souls, it would be impossible to talk about their plans everywhere, wouldn't it? ”

“So, still bragging.” Ivan said.

The first time he saw Sampak, he just became a cat and couldn't come back with Harry.

What Sampak feels like to Ivan is an unreasonable impression that she can't even prioritize things.

“I really don't understand what they're doing. I can't believe Stan's words are serious.” Harry said with dissatisfaction.

“Probably trying to show you what they're doing, and now people are panicking.” Hermione frowned and said, laying down the newspaper in his hand, "Don't worry about what the Ministry of Magic is doing, or what's going on in the school. I also told Ivan about this last night. It was herbal class. Hannah Abbott was called out about it...”

Hermione did tell Ivan about it when she was alone last night.

Because after that, they never saw Hannah again.

Alvin deliberately contacted Ernie with the D.A. badge to confirm that Hannah had not returned to the Hufflepuff Public Lounge, and there was another sad news.

“Hannah, what's wrong? Where is she now?”

“She left Hogwarts, Hufflepuff spread, and it was said that her mother had been killed…" Hufflepuff said.

Ivan glanced at Hufflepuff's long table, where the atmosphere seemed as gloomy as the weather outside.

A lot of people are whispering with their heads down and must be talking about Hannah.

Murder that took place alongside him, the parents of the students were murdered far more shocking than the newspapers had seen, and the matter had not spread in schools, so it did not cause panic, but it was also a matter of time, something that Hogwarts could not hide at all.

“It was just the beginning, and I heard Pawati say last night that her parents were going to take her and her sister Padma back to India. Eloise Midgen of Hecky Patch, she has already checked out of school and will probably leave today, and...”

“Wait, Hermione, we don't know what you're talking about!” Ron said, staring into Hermione's eyes.

“Because you and Harry are all focused on Quidditch, naturally you won't notice these changes.” Anyway, a lot of students are thinking about dropping out of school right now, "Hermione said," and I bet that's just the beginning. ”

“Why would they do that? Whatever you think, Hogwarts is safer than their house, that's for sure! We have Arrogance, so many new protective spells, and Dumbledore! ”

“No, I don't think he's actually always been with us.” Hermione whispered, sweeping the faculty table, "Didn't you notice? His seat has been as empty as Hagrid's ever since school began. ”

“Yeah, he's not here, Dumbledore has a lot to deal with, and the Phoenix thing needs him to organize.” Ivan said, "But he should be back tonight because he wants me and Harry to go to his office. ”

“Dumbledore will have time to come back. The key is what this means.” Hermione went on to say, "Evan, before I went to bed last night, I thought about the recent events and thought that you were still right. Dumbledore is often away from school, and on the other hand, the current situation is very serious and may have something to do with that...”

In addition to the changes in school, Ivan and Hermione spoke last night about the magic and message left by Slytherin.

Both of them were in caves beneath the Vampire Fortress. Hermione recorded some of the ancient demons on the rock wall. After a period of time, the information seemed to have something to do with Slytherin's last evil brain...

Dumbledore should have known about these things, but he didn't say anything to Ivan.

If he was going to solve the problem himself, would that be why he had spells all over his right arm?!

The atmospheric conversation ended with the arrival of Lavender and Pawati, who, as Hermione said, were grieving. Lavender was Pawati's best friend in the school, and if the parents of the Petyr twin sisters wanted them to leave Hogwarts, they might not see each other again for a long time to come...
