Chapter 818

Because of what had happened during this time, Hogwarts seemed to be preparing to close the school.

Anyway, we were ordered to stay in the common room, eating and drinking there; I agreed with this decision with both hands and feet.

After all, staying in the common room had always been my dream.

In such a safe place, why not live here permanently? But Hannah didn’t think so.

They seemed to think they wanted to help the school get out of this predicament.

Especially the day after Dumbledore was driven out of the school.

Yes, Dumbledore was driven out of the school, just like in the original story.

Currently, Hogwarts was temporarily under the charge of Professor McGonagall.

This had no impact on our lives.

After all, we were still staying in the common room!

I was now waiting to see what Darren and the others would do.

He should know the plot earlier than I did, and he had a cheat, so I wouldn’t add to the chaos.

I thought this way, naturally reading books in the dormitory.

I got news of him again a few nights later; I heard he had burned the Forbidden Forest.

Burned the Forbidden Forest?

Wasn’t this move a bit too advanced?

I watched with wide eyes as a patch of the Forbidden Forest became bald, and I expressed my admiration for his destructive power in my heart.

Of course, I was extremely puzzled; why did he have to burn the Forbidden Forest?

I thought about the original story over and over, and suddenly thought of Aragog; could it be that Aragog, just like in the original, wanted to kill him, and in the end, he set fire to the Forbidden Forest?

But wasn’t he supposed to be playing the saint?

Didn’t he think that by doing this, others wouldn’t think he was a saint anymore? I found it very strange.

But I didn’t expect that really no one said he had done a bad thing.

The news spread by the professors was that he burned the Forbidden Forest in order to save Harry Potter and the others.

Not only did they not punish him, but they even comforted him.

Look at him!

I was extremely envious.

He was the real winner in life!

While complaining, I relaxed and continued to wait for news.

I believed I would soon be able to wait for the news that Ginny had been taken away.

And then they would rush into the Chamber of Secrets to save her.

I hoped he wouldn’t get hurt this time.

Sure enough.

Soon, the news of Ginny’s disappearance came out.

It was said she had been taken to the Chamber of Secrets.

I knew another plot point had arrived.

I hugged Hannah in the dormitory and sighed about how good Ginny was, and Hannah nodded with deep feeling.

By the way, she worried about whether Darren would go to save Ginny.

“She is Ron’s sister, and you know, Ron is Harry’s friend, he might help!”

Hannah said worriedly.

But her worry didn’t last long before we received the news to pack our luggage immediately and leave the school the next morning.

I was stunned.

I remembered, wasn’t there still the plot of Harry Potter saving Ginny? Why were we going home now?

Of course, I thought the story of saving Ginny would take place at night, and the next morning, we might get the news that we didn’t have to go back.

But to my surprise, the next morning, the professors urged us to crawl out of bed.

After eating in the common room, we carried our luggage to the station.

I carried my luggage blankly.

I looked back every three steps.

I looked at this castle; why were they really letting us leave? Was it Darren’s idea?

Did he want us to never have to come back like this? I thought secretly in my heart.

I couldn’t help but look back at Hogwarts again.

Honestly, after leaving Hogwarts, where could I go? I walked forward dejectedly.

I was preparing to find Darren to discuss it, but what did I see? I saw Snape shoving Darren into a carriage.

And Harry and Ron.

They were also shoved into the carriage by Professor McGonagall.

Huh? Maybe I was overthinking it.

It wasn’t that Darren and Harry and the others didn’t want to do good deeds; they must have been controlled.

This was also normal.

In the original story, Snape hated Harry’s face, so he deliberately ignored Harry; of course, it was also possible that Dumbledore indulged it.

That was why Harry went to the Chamber of Secrets.

But now, how could Snape let a child who looked so much like his old flame go on an adventure?

Not to mention the saintly image Darren usually displayed; he was probably monitored all night last night and then thrown over directly in the morning.

I wanted to laugh a little, but in the end, I just pressed the corners of my mouth and quickly sat on the carriage.

I still trusted him more; even if he got on the Hogwarts school train, he would go back to handle it.

Even if he really returned to King’s Cross Station, he could still return to Hogwarts.

I relaxed and played Wizard’s Chess with Hannah in the carriage.

Hannah praised me for being stronger recently and not crying as much.

Subconsciously, I thought of that guy who was a bit pretentious and not very familiar.

Was it because of him? Yes!

He dealt with Cante, and increased the safety factor for me at school; now my smiles had even increased.

The Hogwarts Express was really too slow.

After several hours on the train, I only had this one thought.

In this era, there wasn’t even a mobile phone; I couldn’t think of anything to do to pass the time.

All I could do was read books.

I hadn’t read books for a long time! Even if I did, I read them on my phone.

I never thought I could be this bored.

After losing the threat of death, I felt I had really let myself go; now I knew what boredom was.

Clearly, in the past, I would spend time pondering acting, Occlumency, and how to survive.

But now, I could carelessly think about how to live more happily.

I ground away the time on the train, waiting for it to stop, or for someone to lend me a storybook to read…

I forgot to bring a storybook this time; now only textbooks were left in my bag, and I was too lazy to take them out, otherwise I shouldn’t have said I was bored.

Hannah was also a bit bored.

She ran out to ask for news.

She was also very worried that Hogwarts would close like this; she told me to stay honestly in the carriage and wait for her to return, and not to open the door for anyone.

So I successfully became the gatekeeper.

After a long time, Hannah returned.

Her face looked a bit bad.

She told me she had heard the news that Darren was missing; of course, Harry and Ron were also gone.

My heart was happy; they must have gone to find the Basilisk.

Maybe in a few days, we could go back, although we wouldn’t be able to stay long before having to go home.

But I was liking Hogwarts more and more; I would rather stay for a while longer before going home.

I let out a breath.

Looking out the window, we were almost there.

The joy that the Basilisk was about to be dealt with, and the news that everything was fine, made me beam with joy.

But before I could be happy for too long, I suddenly discovered that the train, which was about to reach its destination, suddenly changed direction.

It was actually driving back to Hogwarts.

A notification sound came from the train: The danger at Hogwarts has been lifted, the train is changing direction, the holiday is cancelled!

I wanted to laugh.

After all, it was a good thing, meaning they had finished dealing with the Basilisk.

But thinking that we had eaten in the morning and ridden the train until evening, now we would have to ride from evening until dawn to reach Hogwarts, right?

I felt my numb feet and suddenly suspected if Darren was torturing us?
