Marvel: I'm Hermione, from Hogwarts!

Page 89

"It's over. What's important is that Hogwarts is safe, the villains have been eliminated, and the petrified students have been saved. Does it matter who the hero is?"

"But……"

Harry always felt that Hermione seemed to be hiding something.

Although the sense of incongruity was very strong, he had no choice but to believe it.

It's Hermione after all.

"Okay." Harry finally nodded, "I understand."

Off to the side, Ginny's eyes fell on Hermione.

She wanted to say something, opened her mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.

Clearly, she had already given the strange diary to Hermione, so why did the petrification incident still happen?

Moreover, in the end, the diary appeared in Malfoy's hands, and he became the Slytherin heir who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

What made her even more uneasy was that her good friend Luna could prove all of this.

Throughout the entire incident, Hermione seemed to be completely out of it and did not leave any trace.

This made her think deeply and terrified.

Although she completely escaped from the turmoil as a victim.

But Ginny didn't feel relieved at all, instead she felt even more scared.

She subconsciously moved closer to Harry.

Only by getting close to Harry and feeling the warmth coming from him could she feel a little at ease.

The noise in the auditorium gradually died down.

Professor McGonagall stood on the podium and announced that due to a series of recent events, the school decided to temporarily suspend classes.

Dumbledore was away, and as Deputy Headmistress, she had the authority to make the decision.

The students dispersed in twos and threes.

Hermione made her way through the crowd and made a beeline for Professor McGonagall.

She said that since the school was temporarily suspended, she did not have to perform her duties as a teaching assistant and wanted to apply to leave school and go home for a while.

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and nodded slightly to show her agreement.

"Professor McGonagall, please wait a moment."

A voice suddenly sounded.

Lockhart walked over quickly and said with a smile:

"In view of the many dangerous incidents that have occurred recently, since some students are leaving the school, as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, it is my responsibility to protect their safety."

"I request to be accompanied."

"Huh? You're protecting Hermione?" Professor McGonagall looked strange.

Finally she nodded.

"Well, Professor Lockhart, since you insist, you will escort Miss Granger."

Lockhart immediately straightened his chest and assured him solemnly: "Don't worry, with me here, Hermione's safety will not be a problem at all."

Professor Cat's mouth twitched.

……

Malfoy Manor.

In the living room, heavy curtains blocked out the sunlight, leaving only a few rays of light that cast mottled shadows on the expensive carpet.

The entire living room was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. The air seemed to be frozen, so depressing that it made people feel breathless.

Lucius sat at the table with a gloomy face. Next to him was a piece of parchment, which was a notice from Hogwarts.

Along with it was the unconscious Draco.

It actually said that Draco was the heir of Slytherin, he was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, and he was also the murderer of the petrification incident.

Lucius' first reaction after seeing this was confusion.

What's going on?

Although Draco argued that he was controlled by the mysterious man and it was not his own will, no one was willing to believe him because of his usual hostility towards Muggle-blooded wizards.

Unless someone can testify for Draco that he is indeed controlled by someone else.

Otherwise, with such a serious incident happening and attracting so much attention, the Ministry of Magic would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

Even if it was him, he couldn't use his connections or the usual means to make a big deal out of a small matter this time.

Thinking of this, Lucius felt very annoyed.

Originally, everything he had carefully planned was to make Ginny Weasley take the blame, thereby eliminating those Muggle-born students and shaking Dumbledore's position in Hogwarts.

As a result, the plan of killing three birds with one stone was successful, except that Dumbledore was temporarily dismissed due to poor management, and the other two were not achieved.

Ginny didn't get blamed, and the Muggle-blood students weren't purged, so why did his son become the scapegoat? !

He couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"Lucius."

Narcissa's voice broke the silence.

She looked towards the bedroom, her eyes filled with worry.

"What about my son?"

Lucius looked up at his wife and shook his head slowly.

Narcissa's face turned pale instantly and she clutched Lucius' arm tightly.

"Lucius, you must save Draco!"

"He's just a child, he can't be convicted!"

Draco only woke up to explain himself before falling into coma again. Although he was sent back to Malfoy Manor because of his young age, he was forbidden to leave the manor by the Ministry of Magic.

Until now, Draco is still unconscious.

As a mother, Narcissa was heartbroken. She was worried about his health and afraid that her son would be accused and punished.

"I know." Seeing Narcissa's distress, Lucius' voice softened a little, "I'll find a way."

He said this, but he had no idea in his mind.

Narcissa looked at Lucius, her resentment almost bursting through the sky.

She knew some inside information.

When Lucius gave the diary to Ginny Weasley, she strongly opposed it, thinking that it was too risky and that the consequences would be disastrous if it was exposed.

But Lucius insisted on his own way, convinced that he could control everything.

Now, the plan has failed and his son has been implicated.

in the corner.

Dobby, the house-elf, curled up into a ball and shivered.

He opened his eyes wide, eavesdropping on the conversation between his masters, his mind in a mess.

He remembered that the plan he overheard was to make Ginny Weasley the culprit who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

But now, how come he has become Master Malfoy?

He didn't understand.

If he had known the result would be like this, why did he go to so much trouble to stop Harry from going to school?

Dobby scratched his ear in annoyance, thinking that he was an idiot for doing so much useless work and almost killing Harry.

Chapter 114 Draco: He got up so fast. When he opened his eyes, Hermione was making a fuss at home.

At this time, a servant hurried into the hall, with a hint of hesitation on his face, and then spoke carefully:

"Master, a guest is here to visit."

"Who?"

"They claim to be... Gilderoy Lockhart, Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and... Hermione Granger."

There was a noticeable pause in the servant's voice when he said Hermione's name.

He knew that Lucius had always hated Muggle-born wizards.

Normally, people like this wouldn't even be able to get close to the gate of Malfoy Manor, let alone report anything.

But today's situation is a little special.

The servants knew something and knew that something had happened to Master Draco.

Moreover, one of the two people who came this time was the famous Lockhart, so he still gritted his teeth and reported it.

Lucius felt a throbbing in his temple when he heard Hermione's name.

During the incident at Flourish and Blotts, Hermione and Lockhart had severely tricked him, causing him to be investigated over and over again by the Ministry of Magic and lose a large sum of property.

Come again now?

"Let them in." Lucius didn't care about blood relationship at this moment.

"No, wait."

He suddenly changed his mind.

"I will go to greet you personally."

The servant was stunned for a moment, then responded and turned away.

Lucius stood up, straightened his robes, and walked towards the door.

"Squeak-"

The gate of the manor slowly opened.

Lucius immediately spotted the two people standing at the door.

Gilderoy Lockhart still looked like he deserved a beating, and Hermione Granger stood beside him with a smile on her face.

A muscle in Lucius's face twitched.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how famous Lockhart was, as the head of a distinguished pure-blood family, he would never condescend to greet him in person.

What's more, the two people in front of him had a lot of grudges against him.

But now, he had to do it.

Seeing these two people now, especially Hermione Granger's hateful smile, he wanted to cast the Cruciatus Curse on their faces.

Lucius took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He knew that these two people might be here on behalf of Hogwarts.

Their attitude is very likely to affect the Ministry of Magic's final judgment on Draco.

For Draco's sake, he had to humble himself and greet her with a smile.

"Professor Lockhart, Miss Granger, welcome to Malfoy Manor."

He tried to make his tone sound enthusiastic.

Come to the living room.

"Professor Lockhart, Miss Granger, please take a seat."

Lucius led the two men to the living room and signaled the servant to serve tea.
