After Halloween, the day that students are most looking forward to is undoubtedly the next Christmas holiday.

Strictly speaking, each school year is divided into two semesters, while the holiday that is divided into two semesters is the Christmas holiday.

Before the holidays began, the first Quidditch game of the semester, Gryffindor's match against Slytherin, officially began.

From September to December, almost all the players of the Gryffindor team were training in the rain, and they had basically never had the robes on their bodies, just for today's game.

Captain Wood attaches great importance to the outcome of the game. He will graduate from Hogwarts in two years. His only wish before graduation is to lead the Gryffindor team to win a Quidditch College Cup.

"We want them to regret letting that little villain Malfoy spend money to get in!"

Before the game began, he said this to the Gryffindor team members more than once, and while making harsh words, he also stimulated Harry.

Malfoy also seemed to be not afraid of angering Harry at all, and he sarcastically called him "Scarhead" at the beginning of the game.

It is precisely because of this that even after the Gryffindor players clearly found that the roaming ball was tampered and kept attacking Harry alone, they did not ask the referee Mrs. Huo Qi to stop the game, but instead planned to continue to compete, win the game, and slapped Malfoy in the face.

In the end, Harry did.

He risked being hit by a roaming ball to catch the golden snitch above Malfoy's head.

While winning the game, it was also a great mockery of Malfoy.

But Harry's arm was also broken and sent to Mrs. Pomfrey's hospital.

It was just that the bones were broken. For Mrs. Pomfrey, connecting Harry's bones only required a small spell to solve them, so he could celebrate the victory of the game with the other players in the future.

But in the night afterwards, Dobby, the house elf, found him and admitted that he did it himself, whether it was nine and four points or the out-of-control roaming ball, in order to protect Harry and let him leave Hogwarts from danger.

Harry was very angry, but he had no choice but to tell Hermione and Ron the next day what he saw Dobby.

"I think this confirms something."

Hermione analyzed seriously.

"Doby wanted Harry to leave Hogwarts so much, so she didn't want to see him hurt by the monster in the secret room. But Harry is a mixed race and will not become the target of the monster at all. So why should he worry about this?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, exchanged glances, and shook their heads with affirmation.

"have no idea."

Hermione looked at them with a look of regret.

"He must have known some inside story. He thinks that the successor of Slytherin will instruct the basil monster to attack Harry. Who in the whole Hogwarts will have such a big grudge against Harry?"

This time Harry and Ron thought of the answer in an instant, and he said in unison.

"Draco Malfoy!"

"From the moment, only he is the most suspicious, and we must investigate it clearly." Hermione said firmly.

But Harry expressed his pessimism.

"We cannot succeed in your previous plan. There is no right reason for the professor to give us a note to borrow books, let alone a banned book about potions. Looking forward to Snape opening the note to us, it is better to think that Malfoy will take the initiative to confess everything to us. Even if other professors are easy to talk to, we can't find an excuse."

"And one note can only lend one book, and we can't cheat on it." Ron also said.

Hermione looked thoughtful.

"I have a more risky plan."

Harry and Ron looked at Hermione with bright eyes, as if they were watching the boss who could take them to big points.

"We can start with Professor Forrest."

"Professor Forrest? It's impossible. If we ask him to open a note, he will definitely ask what we are going to do."

Hermione was hesitating whether to say the next words, but they had planned to investigate Malfoy's plan before, and they had violated several school rules. Now, it doesn't matter if they add one, right?

"What I'm not talking about is a normal way to get a loan note."

She lowered her voice.

"Recently, Professor Forrest seems to be studying some magic. He often asks students to help him borrow books from the library, most of which are from the forbidden book area. We can start from this aspect..."

After hearing Hermione finish her plan, Harry and Ron couldn't help but say excitedly.

“This is totally feasible!”

"Although there are risks, no one will find out as long as we bite to death and don't admit it!"

Hermione's face was very tangled.

"But this is deceiving Professor Forrest."

"We're trying to protect the entire school, Hermione," Ron said.

Harry nodded, too.

"Professor Forrest will understand us even if he knows the truth."

Finally, Harry and the others convinced Hermione that in the next few days, they would hang out in front of Sherlock's office together as soon as the get out of class was over.

Finally one afternoon, Sherlock called Hermione outside the door.

Hermione walked into the office carefully.

Sherlock is correcting his sixth grade homework and looks very busy.

"Do you have time now Miss Granger?"

Hermione swallowed and said calmly.

"I only have one magic history class this afternoon, and I have just finished teaching."

"Can you please help me borrow a book from the library?"

"sure."

"The book I want to borrow is in the forbidden book area. I will write you a note. You can hand it over to Mrs. Pins, and she will give it to you."

Sherlock took the time to pull out the parchment paper from the side, wrote down the title of the book, and signed his own name.

Hermione took the note from Sherlock and then left the office.

Harry and Ron, who were waiting outside, hurriedly gathered and walked into an empty classroom together.

They looked at the borrowing note in Hermione's hand, their eyes full of tension and excitement.

"I'll do it."

Hermione slapped Harry's hand, spread the borrowed book strip flat on the table, aimed the wand at the place of the title of the book, and recited a spell.

“Clean up.”

The title of the book disappeared from the paper under the action of the cleaning spell, and only Sherlock's autograph was left on the note.

Harry and the other two cheered.

"Professor he did not use magic ink!"

"Just write the title of "Power Potion" on it. Keep this note first, don't borrow books. Wait until I go to Professor Forrest to explain it to him."
Chapter completed!
