8 Nonsense

Hermione had forgotten how she got out of Sherlock's office.

She even forgot whether she said goodbye to Sherlock when she left.

It wasn't until Harry and Ron stopped her at the corner of the corridor on the third floor that Hermione recovered from her daydreaming.

Harry saw that her condition was not normal, he asked worriedly.

"Professor Forrest, did he find out we were testing him?"

Ron also thought about it with Harry, and he waved his hand pretending to be relaxed.

"Professor will find out if he finds out. We didn't do anything bad. At most, he will deduct points and make us polish the trophies or something."

Hermione took a deep breath, regained her state, and said in a heavy voice.

"No, we were not found out by Professor Forrest. The third test was very successful. I already know some of the conditions Professor Forrest's crow's mouth needs to be activated."

"There should be a threshold of probability. The professor's crow's mouth will make things that have a low probability to happen, and increase the probability infinitely."

"But there's a very, very small chance that this could happen by itself, like the test we have today."

"I wrote the vacation homework in advance until there were only two lines left, and the success rate of completing the homework is close to 100%."

"Even if the professor said he believed that I could finish the homework, the crow's mouth couldn't work on me, because I did have a 100% certainty to finish it."

"In this way, just like the sun rises 100% from the east almost every day, the professor's crow's mouth has no way to affect an event with such a high probability of success."

"So we don't need to worry now, the world will not be destroyed because of Forrest's crow's mouth."

Harry and Ron stared and listened for a long time. They didn't understand the part about probability, but they understood the last sentence.

They blinked and looked puzzled, but still didn't understand why Hermione was in this state.

Harry couldn't help asking.

"Since there will be no problems in the world, why do you still look like the world will end tomorrow?"

Hearing him ask this, the expression on Hermione's face suddenly contorted to look like she ate a bitter gourd, even more embarrassing.

She said in a tone like she was about to cry.

"Because at the end, Professor Forrest said... he wished me a Merry Christmas!"

As soon as Hermione's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly solidified.

Ron's face showed a terrified expression. He opened his mouth and looked at Hermione, his eyes gradually becoming painful, as if Hermione would leave them tomorrow.

he said painfully.

"It's over! It's over! It's over! This is more vicious than all the curses in the legends! And it's still unsolvable!"

Harry also froze in place, but as one of the former victims, his reaction was calm, and he immediately comforted Hermione.

"It's okay, Hermione. Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Last time, I was also cursed by Professor Forrest once. Don't I live well now?"

But Harry's consolation didn't help. Hermione was very smart and knew that her situation was fundamentally different from Harry's. Her eyes were red as if she was really crying.

"We're not the same Harry... My parents are Muggles... I am a target of the monster that came out of the Chamber of Secrets. Justin and Colin, who were cursed by the professor ahead of me, were all petrified... There's no way to escape!"

Hermione's analysis was right. They had already tested Sherlock's crow's mouth three times, so they naturally knew the horror.

Coupled with the lessons learned from Justin and Colin, Harry also became distracted. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only come up with a solution.

"Why don't we tell the professors everything? Let the professors protect you at Christmas so that maybe we can take the opportunity to catch the attackers!"

There was no other better way for the three of them, and they definitely couldn't wait for Hermione to be petrified.

Although the lives of the two students who had the accident were not in danger, no one could guarantee that when it was Hermione's turn, it would be the same.

However, the three had disagreements on which professor to ask to confess everything.

"Go to Professor Forrest, and tell him everything clearly, including the fact that he has a crow's mouth that has tried everything. He knows the reason and will help us in the future."

Harry now has great trust in Sherlock, even if he had been unlucky for a whole day because of his blessings, and even now that Hermione was in such danger, Harry knew that it was completely unintentional by Sherlock.

Ron also trusted Sherlock but questioned whether he could protect Hermione.

"I think we're still going to find Professor Dumbledore. Only he can ensure Hermione's safety."

Hermione sniffed, denying Harry's proposal to find Sherlock.

"We can't tell Professor Forrest all this right now, because all of the professor's crows took effect without his knowledge. If the professor knew all this, the curse on me would be No one knows what the consequences will be, once the result is bad, then I will really be finished!"

(e/n: I am the confused)

Hermione's analysis made sense. They finally decided not to go to Sherlock, but to find a way to go to Dumbledore.

But Dumbledore spent very little time in Hogwarts. As a well-known wizard in the entire magical world, in most cases, he did not know what to do outside the school.

To find Dumbledore, they had to pass through Professor McGonagall before they could find Dumbledore.

So, Harry and the three rushed to Professor McGonagall's office in a panic and told her everything together.

Professor McGonagall, who barely managed to sort things out after hearing them talk for nearly half an hour, frowned at the three of them.

"You said that Miss Granger was hit by Sherlock's curse, just like what happened to Fletchley and Creevey before, and then she would be attacked by monsters in the secret room?"

The three little puppies nodded nervously together, indicating that this was the case.

Professor McGonagall's frown deepened.

"Then how did Sherlock curse Miss Granger?"

Ron said without hesitation.

"Professor he wished Hermione a happy Christmas holiday!"

Harry also explained quickly.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall! It was because Professor Forrest wished him a happy Halloween when Jasyan had an accident. When Colin had an accident, the professor wished him good luck tomorrow. Now it's Hermione's turn. Hermione is in danger!"

Professor McGonagall's face suddenly darkened.

"Nonsense! Do you have a lot of free time lately? Don't have anything else to do? Come to me to entertain me? Leave me immediately! Otherwise, It will be detention for all of you and ten points from Gryffindor!"
