"ATTACK ON MUGGLES AT HOGWARTS! ARE BELLATRIX LESTRANGE AND SIRIUS BLACK INVOLVED in THIS? " - stated the headline on the front page of the Daily Prophet.
- "Oh... they should've put my picture on the first page," - Hermione was indignant.
- "Yeah," - said Ron, disappointed. - "Dumbledore promised not to disclose the situation, didn't he?"
- "Yes, but Hermione's identity remained undisclosed," - Harry stood up for the headmaster. - "Dumbledore did his best to preserve her anonymity.
- "After all," - Ginny said, - " the school couldn't just let it go.
- "That's right," - Neville sat down next to them, " - everything is being done to protect you, Hermi…
- Oh, my God! - she couldn't help herself. – How many other people know about this? The Hogwarts hall lacks the poster with words "Hermione Granger was ra...
- Hermione! - Ron and Harry exclaimed in unison. - Be quiet, everyone is looking at us.
- "I just don't understand," - the girl continued irritably, - " why SO MANY people are aware of this?
- "No offense, Hermione," - Neville muttered in frustration, - " but we're worried about you.
- "And we do want to help," - Ginny added.
- "Oh, I understand," - she sighed wearily. – And I really appreciate it, thank you. - A faint smile appeared on her face. – But this is all so exhausting for me, and the last thing I want is for my personal problem to become the subject of everyone's conversation.
- Hi, guys, - Luna calmly sat down at the Gryffindor table. - "Here, Hermione, it's a talisman that scares away Nargles. - She leaned close to Hermione's ear and continued in a whisper, - " these creatures are able to enter other people's rooms despite any protective spells and do ... OBSCENITIES! - after that, the girl winked at Neville and ran away.
- NEVILLE! - In a rage, Hermione threw an apple at the poor guy while he was trying to escape from her anger. – HOW DARE YOU…
- Hey, Granger, are you freaking out? - Draco said with an impudent grin. - Oh, help! I don't know what happened to me, - " Malfoy began to mimic Hermione, while Crabbe and Goyle pretended to convulse.
- "Oh, you -" Ron got up to hit Draco, but then a hand fell on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw that it was Lucius Malfoy.
- "What are you going to do, Weasley?
- "N-nothing, s-sir." - said Ron weakly
- That's right, - Lucius drawled slowly. - It's not worth starting a fight in the middle of the school, it won't benefit anyone, you and your father definitely.
- "Got that, Weasley?" - Draco smiled venomously. – You'd better not mess with Mal... " - but his father interrupted him.
"Don't, Draco, don't brag about our status, otherwise the boy will cry now. Not everyone can be rich, someone has to serve us, " - the smug father and son began to leave the hall.
- "I'll get back at you, Malfoy," - Ron said.
– Ron, don't - Harry and Hermione tried to stop their friend.
- Stupe…
- "What are you up to, Weasley? An attack on a ministry employee who was here to protect your friend? Minus twenty points to Gryffindor... " - Snape announced and, pleased with himself, went to the teacher's desk.
- They are all for one thing! - Ron hissed angrily.
- Forget it, don't be like them, - Fred and George decided to cheer up their brother.
- "This is so strange and suspicious," - said Harry.
- Oh yeah! I'm more than sure that this was all set up by Malfoy. I mean, the disclosure that Hermione... oh, I'm sorry, Hermione.
