Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 28 A transaction

In the second half of the Charms class, Hermione didn't say another word to Siren and just sat there sulking.

Xi Lun didn't understand why she was angry, but it didn't matter since the get out of class was about to end anyway.

After the spells, there was the Transfiguration class. In order to avoid similar incidents from happening again, Siren deliberately sat behind Hermione on the right, so that even if they were divided into groups for practice again, there would be no need to worry about them being grouped together.

"Well done." Ron suddenly turned around and gave Xiren a thumbs up.

"What?" Xi Lun didn't understand.

"It's about Charms class," Ron whispered. "That Hermione Granger, always so arrogant. She even thought Harry couldn't join the Gryffindor team because he broke the school rules!"

Although she lowered her voice deliberately, the classroom was so big and everyone was not too far away, so it was impossible for Hermione not to hear anything.

Her face turned even darker.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Weasley. I almost forgot that Mr. Potter had violated the school rules." Professor McGonagall appeared beside him at some point, her lips tightly pursed.

Ron whirled around, nearly jumping in fright.

"I specifically allowed you to join the team, but that doesn't negate the penalty for breaking the school rules," Professor McGonagall continued, looking at Harry. "Disrupting class, flying without permission, detention... Come to my office next Wednesday at eight o'clock, you and Mr. Malfoy."

"I understand, Professor McGonagall," Harry agreed with a grimace.

"When did she arrive?" Ron's face was pale, and he obviously had not recovered from the shock just now.

"I don't know either," said Siren. "Cats usually walk silently unless you can see them. It seems Professor McGonagall is the same."

"I remember that." Harry looked at Ron dimly. "Why did you say that?"

Ron was also quite embarrassed, his face quickly turned from pale to red, "I, I don't know..."

"Never mind." Harry sighed. "Detention is nothing, but being with Malfoy... this is a nightmare."

Ron's face turned even redder, just like his hair.

"Oh, there's something I need to correct." At this moment, Xi Lun seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "I didn't target Hermione in the Charms class. It's a good thing that she is willing to teach Neville. Why should I target her?"

Ron was struck by lightning and looked at Xiren as if he had been betrayed.

"But you guys...you were obviously arguing, and she didn't even talk to you."

"It's just a difference in philosophy." Xi Lun shrugged. "Muggle new students all have similar situations. Since they have only been exposed to magic for a short time, there are some things she can't understand yet. She will be able to do so in a few years."

"Okay, stop talking." Harry interrupted the conversation between the two.

He had wanted to persuade Ron not to say that about Hermione, because he had also noticed that only Hermione was willing to take the trouble to teach Neville.

But now, he couldn't say this at all, because he was inexplicably the only one who was injured in the whole thing.

Who would understand? Everything was fine, but suddenly he had to go into detention, and it was with Malfoy.

Harry felt a little regretful. If only he hadn't hesitated and just pinched Ron's mouth.

The atmosphere in this Transfiguration class was strange.

Harry and Ron finished the whole class in a depressed mood. Hermione also looked strange, with her head down and an absent-minded look.

She poked two beetles that served as teaching aids to death, which would have been absolutely impossible before.

Xi Lun was watching from the side, and suddenly thought to himself whether the trio would fall apart because of this incident.

But after observing for a while, he found that this was unlikely, at least for Ron and Harry.

Although Ron helped Harry get a detention, Harry did not intend to distance himself from him. They were still inseparable, whether in class or after class.

They even convinced themselves that Malfoy would get an extra detention, so it wasn't a loss.

It's quite surprising.

As for Hermione, she ran away as soon as the get out of class was over, and remained silent during the afternoon class until all the classes were over.

Everyone walked towards the auditorium to attend the Halloween Eve party.

The Great Hall was now adorned with colorful Halloween decorations. Dozens, even hundreds, of giant pumpkins had been hollowed out and fashioned into various shapes, floating in the air. Seeing this, Harry instantly forgot about his detention.

Xi Lun joined them and stopped suddenly before entering the auditorium.

"Oh, you guys go first, I think I dropped something."

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"I don't know, maybe he's on the way here." Xilun said casually.

"I'll help you find it." Harry was about to go back.

"It's okay, it's not something important." Xi Lun stretched out his hand to stop him, "You guys go in first, I'll look around, it doesn't matter if I can't find it."

Hearing that it was nothing important, Harry stopped talking and walked into the hall with the others at Xiren's urging.

Siren found the Weasley brothers waiting nearby.

"How is it, where is what I want?" he asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it," Fred said with a straight face. "We've got the stuff."

"Where's our reward?" George stepped forward.

"Here." Xi Lun grabbed a handful of silver Sickles from his pocket. "Yours will be indispensable."

"Six silver Sickles in total, that's right." Fred counted and then handed a bulging brown paper bag to Xiren.

"It's a pleasure to work with you. Remember to contact us next time you need anything."

"Let's talk about it later." Xi Lun said with a distressed look, "Your errand fee is too expensive, and what I want is only three Sickles."

"That's not the case." George shook his finger. "If it were Hogsmeade Week, we'd buy you things for free, but it's school time now and students are not allowed to go out. We're the only ones who have access to Hogsmeade."

"We took quite a risk on this trip, so this price is actually very reasonable."

"Okay." Xi Lun said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"If you take care of our business, it won't be hard work." George said with a smile, "Old customers can get discounts."

"If I need anything."

"You will." Fred raised his eyebrows. "We can see that you are not a little wizard who follows the rules."

"We will definitely have a lot of common topics in the future."

Xi Lun shrugged and said nothing.

"To show our sincerity, we decided to give you a small gift." Fred suddenly came over and took out a piece of parchment from his arms.

"what is this?"

"Map," said George.

Xi Lun suddenly became a little excited. Parchment, map, could it be...

"A map of the secret passage on the fourth floor of the school."

Well, it’s not a Marauder’s Map after all.

Xi Lun's heart, which had just been lifted up, calmed down again.

"We drew this ourselves," Fred continued. "If you see the professor there again, it should help you avoid getting caught."

"But Filch also knows these secret passages."

“Use with caution.”
