Chapter 1376 Changes Around You

"Anyone we know died?" Ron asked in a falsely casual tone.

Every time Hermione opened the paper, he asked the question.

Since the summer vacation, tragic things have happened every day, making people nervous. Everyone is more concerned with the current situation in the magic world, but Ron himself does not subscribe to newspapers, and neither does Lavender, so his source of information is He Min, and then went to repeat it to Lavender.

Every morning, Hermione would read them a few of the important news of the day.

Sometimes, Neville, Ginny, and Colin would also come over to listen to her read the newspaper and express a few comments.

"No one was dead, but there have been reports of dementor attacks," said Hermione. "Also, one person has been arrested."

"Great, who is it?" Harry asked immediately, which was probably the best news he'd heard in a while.

Although the Ministry of Magic incident last semester captured many important Death Eaters to Azkaban and weakened Voldemort's power, there are still many who slipped through the net. The eaters that Ivan and Harry saw at Voldemort's resurrection ceremony that day Dead Apostles don't stop there.

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

"Stan Thornpark," said Hermione.

"What?"

"How could it be him?"

"That knight bus conductor, what did he do?" Ivan also asked, he remembered the young man with pimples on his face, as far as he knew, this guy had a sense of humor and liked to brag very much , Talk big, show off.

Sampak did cause a lot of trouble, but if he was said to be a Death Eater, Ivan would not believe it.

Voldemort didn't recruit all kinds of wizards. As his most elite troops, the Death Eaters had a very high selection threshold.

If even a guy like Sampak was allowed to join, it would really underestimate Voldemort.

"Stan Thornpark!" read Hermione, "famous Knight bus conductor, arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activity. Mr. Thornpark is twenty-one years old, and was raided by the Aurors last night in Clapham. and then detained him at his residence in the district..."

"He can't be a Death Eater!" Harry judged before Hermione finished reading.

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

"Probably under the Imperius Curse." Ron analyzed reasonably, "It's impossible to say!"

"He's just the conductor of the Knight Bus, and it doesn't make sense to control him." Ivan shook his head.

"That's right, it said he was arrested after someone overheard him talking about the Death Eaters' secret plans in a tavern." Hermione looked up, with a troubled expression on her face, "It's so stupid to be in front of him." With so many people discussing the Death Eaters' secret plans, if he had the Imperius Curse, he wouldn't be able to go around talking about their plans, would he?"

"So, I'm still bragging." Ivan said.

The first time he met Thorn Parker was when he had just turned into a cat and followed Harry and couldn't change back.

How to put it, Sampak gave Ivan an unreliable impression, and she couldn't even tell the priority of things.

"I really don't understand what they're up to to take Stan's words seriously," said Harry dissatisfied.

"Probably to let everyone see what they are doing, people are panicking now." Hermione frowned and said, putting down the newspaper in her hand, "Don't worry about what the Ministry of Magic is doing, let's talk about the things in the school. I I told Ivan about this last night, that is, Hannah Aibo was called out in the herbal medicine class..."

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

Because after that, they never saw Hannah again.

Badge has contacted Ernie to confirm that Hannah is not back in the Hufflepuff common room, and there is sad news.

"What happened to Hannah? Where is she now?"

"She left Hogwarts, Hufflepuffs have spread, it is said that her mother was killed..." Hermione whispered.

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

Many people were whispering with their heads down, they must be talking about Hannah.

A murder that happened next to me, the murder of a student's parents, was far more shocking than what was seen in the newspapers. This incident has not yet spread in the school, so it did not cause panic, but it is also a matter of time. Things can't be hidden at Hogwarts.

"This is just the beginning, I heard last night that Parvati said her parents were taking her and her older sister Padma back to India. Aloise Midgen of Hufflepuff, she has done After finishing the withdrawal procedures, I will probably leave today, and..."

"Wait, Hermione, we don't know what you're talking about!" said Ron, staring at Hermione with wide eyes.

"Because you and Harry are so focused on Quidditch, you won't notice these changes," said Hermione. "In short, there are a lot of students in the school who are thinking about quitting. I dare say, This is just the beginning."

"Why would they do that? No matter how you think about it, Hogwarts is safer than their home, there is no doubt about it! We have Aurors, we have added so many protective spells, and Dumbledore!"

"No, I don't think he's actually been with us all the time," said Hermione in a low voice, glancing at the teacher's desk. "Didn't you notice? His seat has been as empty as Hagrid's since term started. "

"Yeah, he is indeed not here. Dumbledore has a lot of things to deal with, and he needs to organize things in the Order of the Phoenix." Ivan said, "However, he should come back tonight, because he wants me and Harry to come to his office."

"Dumbledore will come back some time, the key is the meaning of this incident." Hermione continued, "Ivan, I thought about the recent things before going to bed last night, and I think your point of view is correct, Deng Xiaoping. Bullido is often not at school, and the current situation is very serious from the side, it may be related to that incident..."

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

Both of them were in the cave below the vampire fortress. Hermione recorded a part of the ancient runes on the rock wall. After a period of deciphering, the information seemed to be related to the last brain of the evil god that Slytherin took away...

Dumbledore should already know these things, but he didn't say anything to Ivan.

Could that be why his right arm was covered in spells, if he was going to figure things out on his own? !

The heavy conversation ended with the arrival of Lavender and Parvati. As Hermione said, they both looked sad. Lavender was Parvati's best friend in school. If Patil The parents of the twin sisters want them out of Hogwarts, so they may not see each other again for a long time...
