As January winds down, the snow around Hogwarts Castle is slowly melting.

However, the weather did not improve quickly, replaced by a slightly cold and damp.

Gray-black clouds covered the school with low pressure, and the whizzing cold wind blew past the castle from time to time. The continuous cold rain made even the greenhouse of the herb class very slippery and muddy...

Fortunately, other than that, there is no other bad news.

The whole school gradually came out of the haze around Christmas, and everything that happened in the castle that day was gradually forgotten by everyone. Even those students who had originally returned home to wait and see also returned to campus one after another to continue their courses at Hogwarts.

Of course, there was a little accident in the middle——

For example, at the beginning of February, Professor Sybill Trelawney, the divination teacher, was suddenly sent from the principal's office to the school hospital, and then disappeared from the school for at least two weeks...

Even after returning to the campus, she looked listless for a long time, as if she had just suffered from some serious illness.

Professor Albus Dumbledore explained to the outside world that Professor Trelawney accidentally took a bottle of spoiled, oak-aged mead in his office, which then led to a more serious "food poisoning", so that Lied in the school hospital for several weeks.

Only a few insiders know the seriousness of this matter.

Because the bottle of mead that Professor Trelawney accidentally drank was actually a Christmas present from Professor Horace Slughorn to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore before Christmas...

That bottle of mead was not the so-called spoilage as advertised to the outside world, but someone put a rather terrifying poison in it. If Professor Dumbledore hadn't let Professor Trelawney take a piece of "bezoar" in time and called Professor Snape, the consequences would have been disastrous.

In short, it was a murder! A murder against Albus Dumbledore; if you count the accident of Miss Katie Bell in Gryffindor before, this is already the murderer lurking in Hogwarts. Tried it a second time.

News about Professor Trelawney spread quickly, but not as much as when Katie was injured, and everyone seemed to think it might just be an accident. And she was in Professor Dumbledore's room at the time, and she took the antidote immediately, and she was fine.

In addition, for most students, Professor Trelawney is not a favorite teacher (except perhaps Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil of Gryffindor); let alone the school There is another excellent divination teacher in the school itself: Professor Firenze the centaur. In a sense, Professor Trelawney's injury is something that makes many students happy. So this incident did not cause any problems on campus.

Of course, there is good news too. That is, Professor Horace Slughorn, who was injured on Christmas Eve, returned to school... and also resumed teaching tasks in Potions.

However, for many students, this does not seem to be very exciting news; because it means that they have to say goodbye to those "fun" potions lessons taught by Professor Dumbledore.

...

From February to March, there is no change in the weather, except that it is humid and windy.

Notices were posted on all the common room notice boards that all trips to Hogsmeade after this term were cancelled, and there was some grumbling about it. But most of them express their understanding, after all, there have been too many accidents in the past few months.

At this very moment, in the basement of Hogwarts Castle, Miss Daphne Greengrass of Slytherin College was worrying about Apparation class.

This was a newly created class in the sixth grade, and it was scheduled on a Saturday afternoon so as not to delay the regular class.

The teacher in charge of this class is a Ministry of Magic employee: Professor Wicky-Tecrosse. He is a very strict middle-aged man, and many students were reprimanded by him; for example, Draco Malfoy, he often whispered to Crabbe and Goyle in class, talking about something, so he was reprimanded The one with the most.

Under normal circumstances, Hogwarts campus generally cannot apparate and disapparate. Professor Snape specifically revoked the magic (with the headmaster's consent), and lifted the restriction for two hours every Saturday, only in the Great Hall, of course.

The apparition class was more difficult than Daphne imagined. She always felt that she was not determined enough, focused enough, and not calm at all...

She hasn't made much progress in the course for several months! And every Saturday night when she returned to the Slytherin common room, her sister Astoria would come over curiously and ask some tips about Apparition and Apparition... She even took out a small The books were carefully recorded, very seriously.

Daphne is very puzzled by this. After all, as a fifth grade student who is about to take the O.W.Ls exam, Astoria's course tasks are much higher than hers, and she still has such spare time to care about the content of apparition...

Yes, as the O.W.Ls approached, Astoria had to spend more and more time reviewing her homework... and even at night or on weekends, she would often leave the common room with her book, Go to the library.

Daphne had enough troubles of her own, so she didn't bother about Astoria's affairs, although she felt that her sister had been a little weird since she recovered from her illness.

"Don't be discouraged, sister, you will definitely succeed next week." Astoria said and patted her on the shoulder hastily, then looked at her watch and found that it was almost eight o'clock: "Oh, I have to hurry up , went to the library..."

Daphne didn't answer, just nodded listlessly.

Astoria grinned, and quickly climbed out of the stone door.

...

But Astoria Greengrass, who was holding a book in his hand, didn't really go to the library.

Her real purpose was to run towards the eighth floor, the principal's office.

The gargoyle-shaped stone monster lazily jumped aside after hearing the command "egg yolk finger cake".

Astoria climbed up the spiral staircase step by step, and just as she grabbed the brass knocker and was about to knock on the door——

Suddenly, she heard conversations coming from inside the room; one voice belonged to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, and the other was a shrill, even hysterical female voice.
