HPMRS CH 174: New Letter!
The Great hall is full of a strong festive atmosphere. In addition to the common pumpkin lanterns and bat decorations, there are also some local decorations too, such as some ghost models. Special snacks such as sugar skulls, blood sugar candies, and tombstone biscuits appeared on the dining table.
"Isn't Halloween tomorrow? How come we're celebrating this holiday already?" Ryan asked strangely. Several students around also showed puzzled expressions.
After hearing the question, Hermione replied: "This is different from our British habits. Halloween in South America is from October 31st to November 2nd, a total of three days."
It seems that wizards in South America have longer holidays like Muggles, but this is a good thing, after all, everyone likes holidays. At least from the perspective of diet, Castelobruxo's festive diet is much richer than the daily diet. There's nothing better than food in the world.
It's just that Ryan's good mood didn't last long, and he received several letters early in the morning of Halloween the next day. There are Weasley twins, there's Percy's, and even there's Colin's and Ron's letter, these letters coming altogether means something terrible has happened in the school, while Ryan wasn't sure how Sirius Black broke in into the school? He even destroyed the portrait of Fat Lady of Gryffindor.
When Ryan came to the common room with these letters, he found that most of the people were waiting here, everyone holding one or two letters in their hands. It's just that the news from other people is not as true as what Ryan got. For example, a Hufflepuff student next to him vowed to say that Blake broke into Gryffindor's common room and fought hundreds of students. Only after fighting for hours was he forced to flee.
As everyone stood in the room uneasily communicating the news they had obtained, Professor Sprout walked into the room and roughly counted the number of people, and said to everyone: "Okay, you are all here now. There are some things I have to clear. Many people may have received letters from friends at school about what happened at Hogwarts last night. To avoid the spread of rumors, I will now tell you the formal notice."
"First, Sirius Black did enter Hogwarts Castle last night and destroyed the portrait of the Fat Lady but he wasn't able to enter the Gryffindor lounge. Second, there were no casualties in the process. Please don't spread rumors. Finally, unfortunately, we did not catch Sirius, so I hope you can persuade your friends to cooperate with the school as much as possible at this time and don't mess things up." Professor Sprout said while glancing at Ryan.
It seems Weasley twins in school have a real notorious reputation, Ryan only smiled awkwardly to show that he understood.
After Professor Sprout finished speaking, everyone was disbanded. On the way to class, Ryan had been wondering what the defense of Hogwarts Castle is like. Many people he saw in his previous life said that the headmaster could monitor the movement of the entire school. Of course, this is not difficult from a technical point of view. After all, Harry Potter's father could do this. Hogwarts school should also be able to implement the same monitoring system without much difficulty, they may even be able to display holographic images like in those sci-fi movies.
But if real-time monitoring was done, why didn't Dumbledore just grab Sirius Black?
Of course, Ryan could not outright deny the Dumbledore conspiracy theories mentioned by many of his friends. But, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore should not be able to indulge with criminals. Of course, under this premise, Dumbledore couldn't even know that his subordinates had been wronged and had been tortured in Azkaban for more than ten years.
It seems that the most likely explanation is that the Hogwarts monitoring system can only show who is where, but all this requires people to keep watch and read, and there is no automatic alarm function nor any search function, should I tell them about Google. And as a headmaster, how could Dumbledore stare at the monitor all day long like a security guard, nor are there many security guards in Hogwarts to being with.
In this case, Ryan felt that he would have greater freedom in doing things in Hogwarts Castle in the future, as long as he was not too unlucky and avoided those portraits and ghosts.
Naturally, in this case, everyone can't help but discuss how Black broke through the dementor blockade and got into the school, but most people think that it should be through some secret passages to enter the school.
Because they are now in Brazil, Hogwarts's matter from them, after all, are distant. So after discussing it for a long time, everyone left the matter behind. It's just that when everyone wrote to friends at Hogwarts that evening, they couldn't help but say a few words of comfort.
However, the situation at Hogwarts did not end well because of this incident. Just when everyone was about to forget about the previous incident, another unfortunate incident occurred at Hogwarts.
It happened to be mid-November, and Ryan came back from dinner and found that everyone was discussing the upcoming Hogwarts house game in the common room.
Especially Ravenclaw students are very nervous about this year's game. After all, because Cho Chang participated in this exchange event, Ravenclaw can only find substitute players to play the game.
Although Ryan wasn't infected with Quidditch syndrome, he still joined the discussion circle for social purposes, and occasionally said a sentence or two to pretend that he was not a noob.
Just as everyone was discussing, Hermione suddenly pushed the door and walked into the common room, holding an open letter in her hand.
"Ryan, there was an accident at Hogwarts. The Dementor broke into the Quidditch stadium, they were out of control and Harry fell straight from the sky."
As soon as Hermione's voice fell, there was an instant bang in the common room. Everyone started rushing to ask Hermione what exactly happened. As Hermione read the letter aloud, the details of what happened were slowly constructed by everyone. To sum it up, it is one sentence: The excitement and joy of everyone on the Quidditch pitch made the hungry dementors go berserk. Harry passed out because he was too close to them. Fortunately, Dumbledore shot the dementors away saving Harry in time.
"I do not know why they let Dementors protect the school."
"Those filthy things should have been completely wiped out long ago."
"What the hell is the Ministry of Magic thinking? So what is the difference between Hogwarts and Azkaban."
While all the people in the common room were discussing the matter enthusiastically, Ryan and Hermione returned to their carriage.
"This letter was written by Ginny who was sitting by Harry's bed. She said that Harry was in a bad condition when he was taken to the hospital, his face was pale, and his whole body was shaking. So she asked if there's any way to help Harry, please tell me?" Hermione asked as she passed the letter in her hand to Ryan.
"As far as I know, Harry now can only depend on one solution," Ryan said.
