Witcher at Hogwarts

Harry had been very unhappy and depressed these past few days, and the matter of Sirius Black was tormenting him all the time.

So much so that he can no longer attend class very well. He is always absent-minded in class.

Snape seized this opportunity and deducted points from Gryffindor several times.

Ron and Hermione have been carefully "pleasing" Harry these past two days.

He tried hard to choose his words when he spoke, trying not to mention anything about Sirius Black in his words, so as not to arouse Harry's sadness.

The only consolation is that Sirius Black doesn't seem to have infiltrated Hogwarts.

Life at Hogwarts is very peaceful, and a card game called Gwent has become popular in the school.

Its popularity quickly overshadowed Wizard Chess and Gobstone, becoming the most popular game among students.

At the same time, the new Defense Against Dark Arts professor Lupine won unanimous praise from everyone.

Professor Lupine's class was lively and interesting, and he taught everyone how to deal with dangerous small creatures such as Boggarts, Red Hats, and Grindylows.

More importantly, Professor Lupine also reopened the Duel Club.

Unlike Lockhart's unreliable dueling club last time, this time Professor Lupine opened a dueling club and really taught everyone some real things.

For example, the Patronus Charm is specially designed to deal with dementors.

Although all the students hoped that Professor Ethan would teach them the Patronus Charm, because Professor Lupine's teaching level was indeed good, no one complained.

Although the vast majority of students still cannot successfully cast a real patron saint, most of them can release a silver mist to block the dementors.

However, only some senior students can successfully cast the Patronus.

Inside Ethan's office.

"Hermione, why have you become so haggard?" Ethan said seriously to Hermione.

Hermione's complexion has become very poor now, her face is pale, she has two deep dark circles under her eyes, and her originally bright eyes are also full of bloodshot eyes.

She even had a serious mistake in Ethan's class today. When she was practicing her Yaksi Seal, she originally faced Ron.

When Hermione cast the spell, she accidentally made a mistake and controlled Pansy Parkinson who was standing next to Ron.

Hermione's Axi Sigil caused Pansy Parkinson to hit her head hard against the wall and fainted.

After Ethan directed everyone to rush Pansy to the medical room, Hermione was naturally called to the office for an interview by Ethan.

Hermione lowered her head and stared at her toes, feeling extremely regretful.

This was the first time that she was interviewed by a professor because of her study problems, and it was Professor Ethan who interviewed her.

"You've been in a bad state lately, Hermione," Ethan said to Hermione.

"Sorry, Professor Ethan, I just-" Hermione felt her nose was sore, and she tried not to cry.

"I'm not asking about your grades!" Ethan stared at Hermione seriously.

"I noticed that the times of several of your classes this semester overlapped. I asked the teachers of these classes, and they said that you attended classes on time every time and were never late."

Hermione looked at Ethan in surprise. She didn't expect that Ethan would be so interested in her and deliberately investigate her timetable.

"Professor Ethan, I am one by one." Hermione tried hard to make up reasonable reasons in her mind.

"You used a time turner, right?" Ethan said seriously.

Hermione was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Ethan to guess it directly.

"Hermione, it is very dangerous to abuse the time turner!" Ethan warned Hermione.

"I know, Professor Ethan, I've always been careful." Hermione muttered quietly.

"The time turner has serious side effects. It may make you age faster and cause you to become confused. I suggest you stop immediately."

"I will control it well! Professor McGonagall has agreed to my use of it!" Hermione suddenly shouted to Ethan.

Then, as if she suddenly woke up, she covered her face and started to cry.

"Sorry Professor Ethan, I didn't mean it, I can't control my emotions one by one"

The continuous intense study and the need to take care of Harry's emotions brought this poor girl to the verge of collapse.

Finally, Hermione lay on Ethan's table and cried. Hermione was like a brown ball lying on the table.

Ethan sighed and touched Hermione's head.

After a while, Hermione's crying gradually stopped and she raised her head.

"I'm sorry, Professor Ethan." Hermione, whose nose and eyes were red, looked a little embarrassed at Professor Ethan.

"It's okay Hermione, I know you've been very stressed recently." Ethan said to Hermione softly.

"Let's drink some of this." Ethan handed Hermione a cup of steaming chocolate.

Hermione hesitated while holding the hot chocolate. At first, Ethan was a little confused as to why, but he quickly remembered.

From the beginning of this semester, Hermione announced to everyone that she would no longer accept food produced by the labor of house elves to express her opposition to the enslavement of house elves.

Now she would rather spend her money ordering a lot of long-lasting yucky corned beef sandwiches from the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade than the delicacies prepared by the house elves in Hogwarts.

This little girl with an unexpectedly strong character really gives Ethan a headache.

"Drink Hermione, I made this chocolate myself, no house elves were used." After hearing Ethan's words, Hermione finally picked up the cup and drank with confidence.

After drinking a whole cup of hot chocolate, a blush finally appeared on Hermione's pale face.

"Okay Hermione, it's time for us to talk about your classroom punishment." Ethan said.

After listening to Ethan's words, Hermione became nervous again. She looked at Ethan nervously, waiting for Ethan to announce his decision on her punishment.

"Hermione, I'm going to punish you by taking a day off!" Ethan said to Hermione.

"Sooner or later, your intense study will cause your body to collapse, Hermione," Ethan said earnestly, "You must also have a good rest while studying!"

Hermione nodded shyly, Professor Ethan's concern made him a little bit wild.

Ethan took out a small bottle containing light blue liquid from the drawer and handed it to Hermione, "This is a tranquilizing potion. It can help you regain your energy."

"Thank you, Professor Ethan!" Hermione said gratefully to Ethan.

After politely saying goodbye to Ethan, Hermione left Ethan's office.

After sending Hermione away, Ethan let out a long breath. Today's little girl is getting more and more difficult to deal with.

After confirming that no one was in his office, Ethan took out a large, square, old piece of parchment from the drawer.

There was nothing written on the parchment, but Ethan knew what it was. It was the Marauder's Map, which Ethan confiscated from the Weasley twins.

At that time, Ethan saw the Weasley twins tinkering with something secretly in class. When Ethan walked over and took the thing in their hands, he realized that it was a blank piece of parchment.

George and Fred also hoped to get away with it and let Ethan return the Marauder's Map to them. Unfortunately, Ethan was a good judge of things and confiscated the "parchment" righteously.

And even after the Weasley twins repeatedly begged them, they did not return it.
