Neville's voice was calm, but the veins in his hand that was holding the sword of Gryffindor were bulging.

Barty Crouch Jr.

The one who rushed in first with a grim smile.

The man who defended himself in the interrogation room with an innocent look on his face.

Hermione was lost in thought.

Ron realized something from Harry's words and asked, "What's going to happen at Hogwarts?"

"It's possible." Harry said softly, "Maybe nothing will happen, but Voldemort is a cunning guy, so it's very likely that something will happen."

"Just in case, be prepared early."

Ron nodded, raised his hand and grasped the prefect badge on his chest: "Oh, okay, Harry."

Harry went on, "On the eighth floor, there's a secret chamber. Walk back and forth three times in front of the tapestry with the dancing trolls in it, and think of a room you need, and the door will open."

"If that room is being used, the door won't open unless the user is thinking of the room they want."

Ron seemed to be thinking about it. "I remember you once guessed, Harry, that there were Death Eaters hiding in Hogwarts, right there?"

Harry nodded. "Yes."

"And there's a secret passage connecting to Hogsmeade. Although the exit is at Aberforth's bar, just in case..."

Ron agreed: "We will check it every day."

"If there is a problem, Professor McGonagall will be informed immediately."

Neville nodded, "I'll go find Crouch first too, on the fourth floor?"

He thought of the forbidden corridor. It was different from the situation in their first year when they were not allowed to enter. In their first year, the corridor was only blocked by an iron gate. The brave Gryffindors had entered and were scared away by the three-headed dog. But this year, Dumbledore did not say it openly, and the students discovered it themselves. But this time, no matter what method they used, they could not get in.

After being discovered, the consequences were disastrous.

Lots of deductions, lots of inspections, real confinement...

Harry nodded.

"Harry, can the navigator only take one person?" Hermione, who had been in a trance, clenched her fists and asked.

Ron and Neville were both stunned.

Harry shook his head and looked at Hermione seriously, "Of course not. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course." Hermione nodded heavily.

Before this, she had thought about not going with Harry. After all, they were going to another world. It was the inertia of thinking that she had long felt unprepared that made her come up with this idea at the first moment.

Can……

When that thought arises in my mind and then passes through my mind, I always feel empty.

I have been preparing for this over the years.

Twelve "Os", which is much better than those Aurors in the Ministry of Magic.

In actual combat, I am not bad either. When facing Ron and Neville, I win more than I lose.

Yes.

Hermione clenched her fists, her expression determined. Before this, she could only say that she was preparing, but now she could openly, honestly and confidently say that she was ready. Although she had not reached the level of a professor, at least she could stand beside Harry.

If I don't stand by him now, when will I stand by him?

Hermione looked at Harry anxiously.

She felt ready.

But she didn't know if Harry felt the same way.

"Okay." Harry nodded and agreed simply, "Then let's go together."

Hermione was stunned and didn't react.

this……

He agreed so readily.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked with a smile, looking at the expression on her face.

Hermione muttered, "I thought you would object, Harry."

She had been worried about this.

"Hermione, you've always been excellent." Harry shook his head.

Ron looked at Hermione enviously.

He also wanted to visit another world, but...his identity was not as convenient as Hermione's, so it was difficult to make this request. Moreover, he had other responsibilities, as the head of Gryffindor, he was responsible not only for his friends, but also for the entire Gryffindor.

"Remember to bring back some gifts." Ron hesitated for a long time before he asked.

Hermione glared at him angrily: "We are not going on a trip!"

"It's doing the right thing."

Harry nodded: "Don't worry, Ron, I will bring you some gifts, I promise you will like them."

Ron's eyes lit up.

"Hermione, your birthday is September 19th." Harry suddenly said.

Hermione tilted her head.

She didn't think Harry would be confused about her birthday, but bringing it up at this time...

"Before we leave, we have to learn Apparition from Mr. Scamander." Harry said softly, "I'm not sure if you can do it."

Apparition.

It was a spell that Harry hated the most, but he had to admit that it was indeed useful.

Especially when he returned to that world and wanted to find Ciri, he needed a teleportation spell even more.

This is not a difficult spell.

But it is different from other spells, whether it is ancient spells such as Animagus and Patronus, or modern spells such as Obliviate and Expelliarmus, they are all very obvious and require emotional mobilization.

Although Apparition is also a very idealistic spell - "I feel that I have to be there, so I appear there", it also requires a lot of emotional mobilization.

But what it needs is emotional stability.

Mobilizing a large number of emotions while maintaining emotional stability is an extremely difficult challenge for wizards.

Harry then went on to give some instructions to Ron and Neville.

Wait for the next day.

He and Hermione knocked on Scamander's door early in the morning.

"Are you really Gryffindors?" Scamander looked at them suspiciously, a little puzzled. "It's only seven o'clock now, and it's not even daybreak yet."

Would a Gryffindor work so hard?

"Get ready early, leave early, and come back early." Harry said, "Hermione wants to go with me, but her birthday is next September. Can she learn Apparition?"

"Miss Granger?" Scamander looked over. "Are you going to take her with you?"

Dumbledore and Scamander talked about many things last night.

How the Wild Hunt...

How Harry and his friends...

He has a general impression of these things and these people.

"She's excellent, isn't she?" Harry asked back.

Scamander wanted to welcome them in, but there was a fireplace in the room and the corridor was very cold.

But Harry stretched out his hand and pointed to the corridor. For breakfast, they still had to go to the hall.

Obviously, after eating, you should prepare to study.

He sighed and walked beside Harry: "The Ministry of Magic stipulates that only young wizards who are seventeen years old, or sixteen years old but with birthdays before August 31st, can learn Apparition. Do you know why?"
