In the end, Pansy's questioning was still in vain, and was distracted by Malfoy's ramblings.
Now that the Chamber of Secrets incident has settled down, as the petrified students returned to their original state, Hogwarts also began to restore normal order. The previous rumors about Dumbledore's expulsion were rampant, and with the "truth" "The truth came out and subsided.
It's not even a question of completely restoring order, because after this incident, Lockhart, who played the role of "hero" in this storm, is said to have received a blow to the head that had a great impact on his spellcasting. As for becoming a squib, but the use of many magics is more or less hindered, this is the conclusion Dumbledore gave to the outside world, so the second half of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was stopped, and even because of this In the wake of the storm, the school has also decided to cancel final exams, which should be really good news for some.
"Oh, I wanted to watch Professor Lockhart beat the old bat a few more times, but it seems that I have no chance now." Ron at the dining table sighed while taking food from the plate in front of him. It seems that they are very sorry for Professor Lockhart's injury. It is said that because of this problem, their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will be replaced again next semester, and the dueling club will naturally not continue.
"Hermione, do you really not remember what happened?" Harry asked. He asked this question many times, but the final answer was always Hermione shaking her head helplessly.
This time is no exception, she said: "I only remember some things before I took the medicine, such as the time you helped me lure Panxi away." event. These days, she is surrounded by praises around her, saying that she has shown the courage of a Gryffindor, but she can't think of anything at all, which makes her blush every time she accepts the praise, feeling that she I am ashamed.
"It can't be a side effect of compound decoction, can it?" Ron took a cup of honey tea and drank it, and said angrily, "If I was there, I might be able to use it."
"The compound decoction doesn't have this side effect." Hermione said, as if she wanted to prove that there was no problem with her memory, but her voice seemed to be a little louder, which attracted the eyes of the students around her.
"Hermione, keep your voice down, Snape is looking this way." Harry looked around, and saw Snape's annoying face looking this way too.
"Don't worry," said Hermione, lowering her voice even so. "I confessed to the Headmaster."
"What?" exclaimed Ron and Harry, almost jumping up in fright.
"Isn't it okay now?" Hermione said. "Stealing is always a mistake. We had no choice when it was imminent, but when it's over we shouldn't hide it anymore, shouldn't we? Even if we stole from Snape." Hermione's voice dropped even lower.
"Okay," Ron said helplessly. "Does the old bat know?" He asked slightly worried.
"The headmaster has already settled it." Hermione said briskly.
"That's good." Harry also heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't want to be punished for this incident in the future.
Suddenly there was a sound of stools moving and bumping from the direction of the Slytherin table.
Ron glanced over there and sneered, "The group of Slytherin students made him look like a hero."
Naturally, it was Malfoy who came to eat that caused such behavior. Many Slytherin students would stand up and salute him when they saw him, and some even bowed.
"They're absolutely out of the House Cup this year, and we still have Hermione's two hundred points," Harry said cheerfully, not caring about the behavior of the students in Slytherin House.
Hermione looked at Malfoy not far away with a complicated expression, and then just remained silent.
"Professor, are there any side effects of compound decoction?" Hermione asked Dumbledore after a class, because she felt that something was wrong with her.
"Oh, Miss Granger, it seems that you have encountered some problem?" Dumbledore stopped in the middle of the corridor and asked, shaking his silver beard.
"I found that there seems to be something wrong with my emotions." Hermione said, "You said that Professor Lockhart saved me, but I didn't want to see him at all. Instead, I felt disgusted when I mentioned him. What's going on? Is there something wrong with the Polyjuice Potion I made?"
"Hmm..." Dumbledore pondered, thought for a while, and then said to Hermione with a smile, "How should I put it, as far as I know, compound soup does not have such side effects. There is a saying called Every wizard is a prophet, maybe you can try to trust your intuition, Miss Granger."
Hermione was a little confused by this answer, but she felt that Dumbledore would not lie to herself, so she chose to believe it, but she hesitated and said, "But is this impolite? He obviously saved me, and he paid so much for it." Big price."
"I have to say that your thoughts are good, but now I think you can't find where his people are." Dumbledore shrugged, expressing his helplessness. "He has been transferred to St. Mungo's now. If you want, you have to wait until the holidays to see him. Maybe he is preparing for an interview now."
Dumbledore added: "Maybe at the end of the term, you will have the opportunity to stand with him on the big stage of the auditorium. He should come back, and we will commend the two of you. Maybe in this way, you can also know yourself better. Is there really something wrong with my emotions?"
"Okay, Professor." Hermione nodded.
"Miss Granger, besides this, do you have any other emotional problems?" Dumbledore asked.
Hermione's face froze, and she said slowly, "Thank you for your concern, other than that, there are no other questions."
"That's good." Dumbledore said with a smile, then turned around and dragged his voluminous robes, and walked in the direction of his office.
"Sorry Professor, I lied." Hermione silently apologized to Dumbledore in her heart.
Because apart from the unreasonable hatred for Lockhart, she found that she couldn't seem to hate the instigator of all this, and even held such a vague...
