The conjecture about the Forbidden Forest incident troubled them for a while, but before they could think more about it, the Quidditch game began!
Hermione was not a fan of the sport, but she still enthusiastically found a Quidditch Traces for Harry. It not only introduced the rules of the Quidditch game in detail, but also recorded a lot of small gossip about Quidditch. Harry held the book and walked happily, almost bumping into Snape.
Almost meant that before he could crash into Snape, the Weasley twins had appeared out of nowhere and pinched him away, one on each side of him.
Harry saw that the twins were wearing Quidditch training clothes and knew that the two walking balls were going to train again. "Wood is really … racing against time." It was said that in order to strengthen the training, Wood had gone to the dean a week in advance to get a receipt for the use of the stadium. Although he did not manage to get it every evening, he managed to get it for three days.
But the twins did not mind. After Malfoy the Elder changed the brooms for the four teams, they could not wait to ride on the brooms every day. The two laughed and threw a small bag into Harry's arms, waving their arms and walking away.
Harry only opened the bag when he returned to the dormitory. There was a heavy pile of silver mixed with some gold coins. It was the dividend that Harry received from the twins' small business. Harry estimated and immediately found that the money for the twins to buy clothes last time should not have been deducted.
Did they forget? Harry did not think that the brothers had bad memories. The twins must have given the clothes to Harry as a gift. Based on Harry's understanding of the Weisles family, this was a big favor. Harry held the money bag and pondered for a while. It was definitely not practical to return the money to the twins, so he could only wait for Christmas to find a way to return the gift.
On the day of the official game, Harry slipped to the international students' table early in the morning to avoid being questioned about which team he was going to cheer for. When he followed the crowd to the stands, he took out a four-colored scarf and put it on. It was not wrong for him to cheer for the Hogwarts.
Xin Xing and Beast Boy, who were squeezed in the first row with him, looked at Harry and cheered for him. They did not know which game they were cheering for. When Slytherin won, Harry also cheered three times.
Garfield finally asked, "Which side are you on?"
Harry's answer was deep. "The problem is not which side I'm on. It's that no matter which side I'm on, I'm like a traitor."
Garfield was enlightened. "Oh, Zhu Bajie!"
However, Harry still tried his best to cheer for the twins. This had nothing to do with the academy, but with friends. So, no one in the Gryffindor lounge minded that Harry did not stand up to cheer for the academy team that night. They were all carrying out the annual "Comfort Wood" activity.
Wood, who had his head down, heard the words "Fight again next year" and went out with a dark face with Quidditch in his arms. Harry and Ron looked at each other, worried that Wood would take things too hard. On the other hand, Fred and George, who secretly went out to check on the situation, came back quickly and gestured to everyone. "It's the same as last year."
"How was it?" The first-years asked in unison.
The ball chaser, Angelina, explained, "He went to Slytherin to fight with Marcus."
Sure enough, an hour later, Wood came back with a bruise on the corner of his eye. Everyone carefully asked about the battle. Wood waved his hand. "Mr Todd's teaching is really useful."
It seemed that they won.
Harry and Ron, who were relieved, were finally in the mood to listen to Hermione. "Ah, what did you say just now?"
Hermione gave each of them a free eye and said in a low voice, "I said, I went to check Professor Kameya's information."
Ron was shocked. "You went to check on a professor?!" He looked Hermione up and down for a while. "Tell me, how did I recite Levitation in the first spell class?"
Ron couldn't be blamed for overreacting. In his impression, Hermione had always been the female version of Percy. Out of ten sentences, four were rules, five were learning, and the remaining one was used to exchange commands with the fat woman. Now, Hermione actually told him that she went to check on a professor.
Hermione ignored Ron's idiotic question and continued to attack his worldview. "Of course, I couldn't ask Professor Dumbledore, nor could I ask Professor Kamia directly, so I first beat around the bush to ask Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout, and then …" Hermione looked at them and lowered her voice even more. "I heard that there are files of all the Hogwarts staff in the Forbidden Books Area."
Ron could only point at Hermione, speechless. Harry was also shocked. "You didn't go to the Forbidden Books Area, did you?" Entering the Forbidden Books Area required a slip of paper signed by the professor.
Hermione, however, did not seem to care at all. "I did. I asked Professor Quirrell for a slip of paper. The reason was that I wanted to expand my knowledge of theoretical knowledge. Not only did he sign it for me, he also gave me a list of books." In order to make up for the guilt of deceiving the professor, Hermione really did skim through those books.
Smart Hermione. The two boys could only wait for Hermione to continue.
"It's very strange …" Hermione scribbled keywords on the blank parchment. In the middle was Kamia Lovegood's name. "I didn't find Professor Kamia's name before her marriage in the staff file. She joined the Hogwarts in 1988, and the name in the file was Kamia Lovegood. Other files also didn't show that she had a middle name or a maiden name."
Ron didn't seem to think that this was important. "Is that strange? Professor Quirrell doesn't even have a name … "
Hermione looked at Ron. "Professor Quirrell's full name is Quirrell."
Harry tried to smooth things over for Ron. "Professor Benz doesn't have a surname either!"
"Benz Cuthbert …"
"That's not official information."
Hermione continued, "And there's very little information about Professor Kamia before she joined the Hogwarts. At first, I thought that staff files were like that, but later, I checked Professor Mcgonagall's file and found that Professor Mcgonagall's file even included her transcripts during her time at the Hogwarts. But Professor Kamia … Harry, did you notice Professor Kamia's scarf today?"
Harry was stunned for a moment, and then he subconsciously looked at the scarf in his hand.
Hermione nodded. "Professor Kamia is the same as you. She doesn't wear a scarf from any school."
Ron suggested another idea. "Could it be that Professor Kamia didn't graduate from Hogwarts at all?" That would explain why she didn't side with any of the four schools.
Hermione shook her head. "Even if she was a graduate of Durmstrang or Boothbarton, or even an undergraduate, there should be a record in the file. The problem is that there's nothing in the file."
Harry pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Then what's in the file?"
Hermione looked at the scribbled record on the parchment in front of her. "I only know that Professor Kamia is 24 years old this year, likes to drink juice, eat apple pie, is allergic to seafood, likes to read, married Xenophilius Lovegood in 1988, and then submitted her resume to Hogwarts. After that, Hogwarts opened a new elective course called 'Literary Appreciation'. The following year, it was renamed 'Literature Class' and became a compulsory course for grades one to five."
Harry added, "Xenophilius should be remarried. He also has a daughter named Luna, who is about the same age as us."
It was a terrifyingly concise file. The three of them stared at Hermione's parchment for a while, and all of them saw something unusual.
Ron still wanted to struggle. "But Dumbledore hired her, didn't he? We should believe in Dumbledore! "Snape cleared his name as a Death Eater because Dumbledore trusted him.
Hermione rubbed her eyebrows and revealed another piece of information. "Ron, I think you can send a letter to your family and ask about Lovegood's family. Don't look at me like that, don't you know that their family and yours are neighbors?"
Ron pulled the parchment and looked at it for a long time. He found that Lovegood's family was actually near the village of Ottery Saint Catchpole. It was really not far from where Weisles and his family lived! Why had he not seen them before!
Ron was surprised for a long time. "Well … I'll write a letter to Ginny this weekend."
Hermione and Harry both knew that Ron had a little sister named Ginny, who was one year younger than him. Harry also met the red-haired girl at the station. Ginny often wrote to her brothers in the Hogwarts, and the content was often big and small, from the goblins in the courtyard to the ghouls in the attic. If Ron asked her to ask about the neighbors, well, she should be able to get something.
Curious about Professor Kamia, Harry could not help but look in the direction of the seat of honor in the next literature class.
The layout of the literature class had changed again. Professor Kamia had gotten a huge Baina quilt from somewhere, which was big enough to cover the long table. There were several charcoal braziers burning under the table, so that the students could wrap their hands and feet in the quilt to keep warm.
Probably because of yesterday's Thanksgiving, they were learning the work "Thanksgiving Visitor" by Truman Potter. As Harry listened to Kamia's lecture, he secretly wondered if this guy named Truman had seen Dudley before. The guy in the article who bullied little Buddy, Odd Henderson, was too similar to Dudley. When Harry saw Odd steal Miss Suke's brooch, he was undoubtedly angry. How could he do that? How dare he do that? This was the only hope for Buddy and Miss Suke to go to New Orleans.
Perhaps Harry's anger had become concrete, Miss Suke … No, Professor Kamia suddenly said, "Mr. Potter, I would like to ask you for a favor."
"Huh?" Harry froze for a moment, then stood up subconsciously. "Okay, Professor."
"No, you don't have to stand up." Professor Kamia smiled. "I'm a little tired. I would like to ask you to read the last part of the content aloud."
Professor Kamia's lecture notes did not have the last part, but when Harry lowered his head again, the last part had slowly emerged on the parchment. He nodded, cleared his throat, and began to read from "My friend stammered."
To Harry's surprise, Miss Suke did not stand on Buddy's side! He easily understood Buddy's intention to run away from home in disappointment … Ah, but Miss Suke came over …
"I just want to say one thing, Buddy. The addition of two wrongs does not equal a right … Listen to me, Buddy. There is only one sin that cannot be forgiven, and that is intentional cruelty …"
As Harry read the last paragraph, he looked in the direction of Professor Kamia. He could not help but think: Is it her? Is the Phantom in the Forbidden Forest her? Then he thought: Intentional cruelty? Dudley bullying me should be considered intentional cruelty …
With all kinds of distracting thoughts mixed together, Harry was a little distracted for the remaining ten minutes of the class, so Professor Kamia asked him to stay after class. After the students left, Professor Kamia called Harry to her and asked, "Mr. Potter, you seem to be a little dissatisfied with the ending of the story?"
"No!" Harry immediately said, but then he saw Professor Kamia's inexplicable smiling eyes.
"Here." Professor Kamia gave Harry a sandwich pumpkin candy — the kind the twins sold at school. "Tell me what you think."
"Uh … I have a cousin who looks a little like Aude …" Harry said a little awkwardly. "I hate him. I can't forgive him." But it seemed that this was wrong.
"I see …" Professor Kamia thought seriously for a moment. "Do you hate Aude?"
Harry wrinkled his nose and thought for a moment. "I don't like him, but …" Aude seemed to be a little better than Dudley. Although he bullied Buddy, he was very concerned about his family, and … in the end, he admitted his mistake honestly.
Kamia obviously understood what Harry meant. "Potter, if you don't like your cousin and don't intend to forgive him, is that wrong?"
Harry was a little confused. He looked at Professor Kamia, not quite understanding what she meant.
Kamia continued to smile. "Is it wrong for Buddy not to like Aude?"
Harry hesitated for a moment. "He has the right not to like someone who bullies him …" This was forgivable. "But, Miss Su Ke …"
"Miss Su Ke is a very kind person. She is willing to forgive Aude, is willing to discover Aude's good points, and is willing to give Aude a chance to change."
Harry gradually understood what Kamia meant. "Miss Su Ke is a very good person, but Buddy is not — but Buddy is not a bad person either."
Kamia laughed. "Little Malfoy often bullies little Longbottom, doesn't he? Who's the good guy and who's the bad guy? "
Harry was chewing pumpkin candy as he was sent out of the classroom by Kamia. In the end, he did not answer Kamia's question. After returning to Gryffindor Tower, he rushed directly into Ron and Neville's dormitory. Several boys were fighting in their pajamas. He went up to rescue Neville, who was pinned under the ground, and asked, "Neville, what do you think of Draco's good points? Do you think he's a bad guy? "
Neville was startled by Harry, but Ron interjected, "That greasy little bastard?"
Harry looked at Ron. "Is he really just a little bastard?"
