Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-" After Tyerra ran out of the entrance of the stone ghost, Phoenix Fox called out.

"Oh, don't blame me, Fox." Dumbledore sat down, poured himself another cup of tea and said, "Although I have no evidence to support this argument, I can be sure that our little Tierra is definitely not as good as him It came out that simple."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure he will come back to me. I'm just throwing him an olive branch now." Dumbledore said, "Tiera is a shrewd boy, he knows how to choose what is best for him, when he puts the other After trying all the alternative paths, he will definitely come back to me."

After running out of Dumbledore's office that day, Tierra seemed to let herself go even more. Skipping classes, failing to hand in homework and playing pranks seemed to have become Tierra's daily life. Well-behaved students have become mischievous troublemakers who have a headache for everyone——

Even worse than George and Fred Weasley.

Because Tierra has never blatantly violated school rules——

Either take advantage of the loopholes in school regulations, or make people unable to catch evidence.

Of course, this was just an appearance, just to keep Dumbledore and other teachers from bothering him during this time.

Tierra would end up working with Dumbledore anyway.

Tierra knew that Dumbledore dreamed of killing Voldemort.

Because Voldemort is different from Grindelwald, he is like a time bomb that does not know how many and when it will explode.

But the cooperation with Dumbledore is not now. Now Tierra has no time at all, and just wants to learn the demon summoning ceremony as soon as possible.

Not in this form. If Dumbledore took the olive branch as soon as he offered it, it would appear that he was too cheap.

Tierra knew how valuable the "prophecies" in her mind were to Dumbledore.

Of course, Tierra had to plan carefully, how to sell these "prophecies" at a good price.

This is also the purpose of showing the video of Voldemort's resurrection in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

First reveal a piece of information to show that you are valuable.

As long as Dumbledore takes the bait, the rest will be up to Tierra to raise the price.

And after October, due to the start of Quidditch training, Harry also became busy, and Hermione Granger was busy with her own lessons, which gave Tiera more time by herself alone.

Whenever she was alone, Tierra would often sit by the big window of Hogwarts, staring blankly out of the window, watching those stupid dementors who wanted to eat what they couldn't eat, but they were in a hurry. Then he calculated the mathematical configuration of the demon summoning ceremony in the memory palace in his mind.

Because she was addicted to the analysis ceremony and couldn't extricate herself, Tierra quit her part-time job as a pharmacist for the Gryffindor Quidditch team at the beginning of school to ensure that she could devote all her time to the analysis of the ceremony.

Oliver Wood, the captain of the Quidditch team, wanted to invite Tiera to return to the position of pharmacist countless times, but Tiera refused.

The time has advanced to mid-October, and all the third-year students will usher in their first weekend in Hogsmeade Village, and everyone is excitedly discussing the upcoming off-campus trip——

Except Harry and Tierra.

Frustrated at not getting Uncle Vernon's autograph, Harry just sat listlessly by while Ron and Hermione chatted away.

And Tierra, as usual, sat on the wide window sill of the common room window, looking out of the window with neither joy nor sorrow, while stroking Crookshanks with her hands—

Harry found that Tierra was always like this recently, and it was also on weekends, often sitting alone from dawn to dark, just looking out the window with nothing to do.

Harry also asked Tierra euphemistically, but Tierra just smiled, and then didn't speak, which made Harry confused——

Seeing Tierra's nervous look, Hermione once almost thought that something happened to Gilderoy Lockhart.

Ever since Tierra accidentally leaked her prophecy in the second experimental class of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Tierra seemed to have started to alienate the people around her intentionally or unintentionally——

Everyone, whether it was those who wanted to ask him to prophesy, or their best friends like Harry, Ron or Hermione.

But contrary to this situation, Tiera started to get close to Crookshanks, or rather, Crookshanks started to get close to Tiera—

Harry remembered Crookshanks being indifferent to Tiera in the early days of school.

Soon, the time came to the eve of Halloween, and the trip to Hogsmeade village that all the third-graders were looking forward to was imminent——

This also made this group of mischievous little wizards a little more peaceful in the past week or so——

They were afraid that their trip to Hogsmeade would be canceled because of some mistake.

But Harry was in the worst mood that morning—

In addition to being unable to go to Hogsmeade, he also found out that Tierra had disappeared again——

Harry was woken up today by a sharp quarrel, which sounded like a quarrel between Hermione and Ron.

Usually, when he opened his eyes every day, he would habitually look at Tierra's bed, but today Harry found that Tierra's bed was neat and tidy, as if he had never slept in it——

Tierra's sudden disappearance happened from time to time this term, but Harry still wished he could be with him at a time like today—

After getting up and washing, Harry walked out of his dormitory listlessly, and came to the Gryffindor common room——

It was indeed Ron and Hermione who were arguing—

Ron's Mouse Scabbers disappeared.

"It's dead!" Ron blushed with anger. "My Scabbers are gone!"

"It's just missing!" said Hermione, also blushing.

"Then look at what this is?" Ron lifted his blanket, pointed it in front of Hermione and said, "Look! Look at the cat fur on it! Obviously your cat ate it!"

It took Harry a long time to lose sight of the stray orange cat fur stuck to the blanket.

"What does that mean?" Hermione asked back. "It's not like you don't know how agile your old mouse is. It might be hiding somewhere to steal food now."

"Impossible, I've looked everywhere, and I can't find it anywhere!" Ron almost cried, "Your cat ate it!"

"No!" Hermione retorted.

"Yes!" Ron yelled.

"No!"

"have!"

...

It looked like Ron and Hermione's friendship was over. Both of them were so angry that they ignored each other in the end, and Harry didn't know how to remedy their relationship, and it was hard to remedy, because he was in a terrible mood now, and he couldn't go to Hogsmeade to play with Tier Ra's disappearance made him a little irritable, too.

"Don't worry about Harry," said Hermione, "I'll bring you lots of sweets from Honeydukes."

"I'll bring more!" said Ron, too.

"Don't worry about me," said Harry, wishing he was speaking casually. "See you at the dinner party. Have a good time."

He accompanied them to the front hall, where the caretaker Filch stood just inside the gate, checking a person with a long list, looking suspiciously at everyone's face, wary of anyone who shouldn't be there slipping out.

"Stay here, Potter?" Malfoy yelled deliberately after reducing the number of Tierra around. He, Crabbe, and Goyle were all standing in the line, looking at Harry provocatively—

Malfoy seemed to be frightened by Tierra. No matter where he saw Tierra, he wanted to hide like a mouse seeing a cat.

But as long as Tierra was away, Malfoy immediately became arrogant, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered on Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Harry ignored him and walked up the marble stairs alone, through the deserted corridors, back to Gryffindor Tower.
