Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 294: Uneasy Hermione

Quiet, suddenly Hermione felt only extreme quietness.

Some voices that I didn't notice but was still answering subconsciously also disappeared along with the sounds in the cubicle.

She just felt as if she was on an isolated island.

This feeling was extremely familiar—she remembered it!

It was the same as in the tunnel to Atlantis, she could only hear her own voice now.

In this extreme silence, the sounds of teeth grinding and robes swishing are particularly obvious.

But Hermione was not panicked at all, she knew who was coming, the handsome Ryan, whom she admired and had been communicating with during the summer vacation, who was more powerful in magic than Dumbledore.

Ryan Smith - a mysterious character.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" Ryan was still talking to Luna, while he created a new form out of nothingness and appeared behind Hermione.

His face was gentle and concerned, as if he had no idea why Hermione had called him.

"Aren't you in that room?" Hermione exclaimed, then tidied her messy hair as if awakened from a dream.

"I feel like you need me now." Ryan ruffled Hermione's fluffy hair.

Hermione blushed slightly and straightened her robes needlessly.

But the next second, she became serious again, "Ryan, I heard Ron say one thing - Voldemort is our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

"If this is true, then Dumbledore is horrible."

"You know, he allowed Voldemort to enter Hogwarts last year. Even though the portraits said he had no physical form and was worse than the humblest wandering spirit, this is a school."

"In our place, which wizards call the Muggle world, if a headmaster dared to do this, I think he would not only resign, but he might even go to jail for a few years."

"Do you know what this is?"

"Like the most dangerous terrorist in the world, the principal hid him in the only school in the future of the entire country."

"Knowing that the terrorist was in the school, even though he had no weapon, but..." Hermione chattered on and on, as if she wanted to pour out all her fear and anger. In her opinion, she came to school, not to live in an environment where the most powerful Dark Lord in the wizarding world existed.

By the end of her speech, she was even out of breath and began to take deep breaths.

"Hermione, I can actually understand your concerns."

"But you forget that we are wizards, wizards who have their own power."

“The knowledge we learn is power.”

"According to your analogy, Hogwarts should be the most powerful military school in the Muggle world."

"Headmaster Dumbledore controls what is considered the most powerful military force in the world, and his army is also stationed in the school."

"Voldemort is the leader of a terrorist organization, but he has no weapons. However, he has the most advanced flying machine in the world, which means no one can catch him."

"He only has one team (Quirrel) serving him at Hogwarts." "And the events of last semester are the best opportunity to attract the hidden dangers of this peaceful world and capture him."

"A small team (Qiluo) cannot pose a danger to the fully armed students under the strict defense of the army."

"This year's events can actually be understood in this way. The new successor of the terrorist (the young version of Voldemort) was subdued by Dumbledore, the master of the most powerful army, while the old one (the original Voldemort) was left alone, facing the encirclement of the terrorist organization and Dumbledore's army." Ryan explained using Hermione's metaphor.

Hermione was also a smart little witch, so she had no difficulty in understanding Ryan's words quickly.

"So, according to you, Voldemort escaped last term, but a part of him was captured and became one of us."

"I understand. There is a curse in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Voldemort's curse. With Voldemort taking this position, does it mean that we won't need to change teachers frequently in our Defense Against the Dark Arts classes in the future?" Hermione jumped up excitedly.

She knew that with Ryan here, no one else would notice her disrespectful behavior.

After briefly realizing that this semester was not a big deal, she immediately thought about her academic problems. Although she was only a sophomore and had not yet experienced the impact of changing teachers.

But she judged the disadvantages of changing teachers from the weakness of Ravenclaw senior students in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

So, she has actually always been a little worried about these things.

But, that’s not necessary now.

Come to think of it, maybe it's a good thing that Voldemort became a professor.

"Ryan, aren't you in that room?" Hermione, whose IQ had regained the upper hand, asked this question when Ryan did not answer it directly.

Moreover, Ryan's necklace can create extra shapes, so it is still unclear whether the one in front of her is Ryan himself.

"I was in that room, but I felt that little Hermione was in danger, so I rushed over." Ryan told the truth, he was indeed in that room, and he did rush over for Hermione - he used his strength and consciousness to get here, and in no time he came over on his own!

When Ryan and Hermione went to the compartment where she put her luggage (inside was little witches like Lisa Dupin, Hermione's roommate), Luna was curiously watching the mist that Ryan had created. In the mist was the scene of Ron and Harry talking to each other.

"'Wizard's Hairy Heart'!"

"I see. Voldemort must have pulled his heart out, so he became as cold and heartless as the wizard in that story."

"And Dumbledore discovered Voldemort's heart, and that heart became our professor." Luna said suddenly.

Luna's father, Xenophilius, was a devout believer in the legend of the three brothers. It was not surprising that Luna knew about the wizard's hairy heart, which was also in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", and she also associated it with Harry and the others through their conversation.

But Ryan couldn't help but marvel.

Because the story Luna told coincided with the meaning of the soul fragment in the diary to Voldemort.

What is preserved in the diary is Voldemort's faint conscience. After abandoning it, a true monster is born!
In the story of the wizard's hairy heart, the handsome wizard became cold and lost the ability to love because he separated his heart.

"Yes, it's almost the same." Ryan said finally, looking at Luna approvingly.

He drew his wand, and the mist in the compartment slowly vanished.

The view outside the window, which had become completely dark, was revealed, and stars began to light up in the night sky.
