A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

However, I hope you all go back to sleep immediately; your current mental state is definitely not suitable for sitting at this table.

“Hermione, we have something to discuss with you,” Harry said hesitantly.

"Is it important?"

"Um...you could say it's important, or you could say it's insignificant."

"Then let's go back to sleep first." Hermione said, tidying up the study materials on the table. "Tomorrow is Sunday, we can talk about it slowly if there's anything."

Harry and Ron didn't say anything, and walked towards the boys' dormitory in a daze. After all, dealing with Sleepyhead was quite a challenge.

......

the next day.

Harry and Ron stopped trying to be clever and directly explained their cat-luring plan 3.0 to Hermione.

Hermione looked incredulous after hearing this. "So, you failed twice?"

And now you want me to help you steal Abe.

“You could say that.” Harry looked up like a child caught doing something wrong.

"Ha!" Hermione rolled her eyes. "I'm already being lenient by not reporting you, and now you want me to do... this kind of bad thing for you? I really don't understand what you two are thinking."

"Hermione, we know this is difficult for you, but we wouldn't have come back to you if we hadn't really had no other choice."

It took us a long time to come up with such a reliable method.

"If you're willing to help, there's at least a 70% chance of success."

“Taller, Harry.”

At least an 80% success rate.

“I’m sorry, I refuse,” Hermione said firmly. “I can help with other things, but I really can’t help with this.”

If I do it, I'll never be able to face him again.

“As long as we don’t get caught,” Ron said. “Our plan is flawless. At most, it’ll only take an hour to satisfy Hagrid’s curiosity.”

“No, no.” Hermione immediately waved her hand. “His curiosity should not be satisfied in this way, and I don’t want to be your accomplice.”

“Yes, you’re right,” Ron said dismissively. “It’s all because Abe is Aaron’s.”

If it were someone else, you probably wouldn't have refused so decisively!

"I..." Hermione opened her mouth, then said something that didn't quite match her true feelings, "It would be the same for anyone else."

"Harry, let's just forget about it!"

"The two of us Gryffindors combined are no match for one Slytherin."

“Ron!” Harry glared at him. “What we’re about to do is definitely not a good thing.”

"But our ultimate goal is good."

We worked hard for a month or so to protect the Philosopher's Stone, only to be blocked by a cat.

Now we've swallowed our pride and begged her for help, but she refused without even thinking about it.

Hermione helped her find out about Nicolas Flamel, but is this how a friend should behave?

“Ron!” Harry couldn’t hold back any longer. “Hermione’s decision has nothing to do with whether they’re friends or not, but you shouldn’t be so aggressive right now.”

"Alright, that's enough," Hermione said reluctantly, flicking her sleeves. "I'll help you this time."

"Really?" Harry was overjoyed, feeling a sense of happiness that had come too suddenly.

"Really, but you must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"If we get caught, we're in big trouble."

"Don't worry about that, we can guarantee it," Ron said immediately, patting his chest. "Even if something unexpected happens, we'll take responsibility and won't put you in a difficult position."

Chapter 50 Sleeping pills were used as a mind control drug

Hermione regretted agreeing to the two people's request, but since she had already agreed, she wouldn't go back on her word.

What conditions are needed to abduct Abe? An acquaintance, a chicken leg, and sleeping pills.

Now that all three conditions are in place, Hermione is still a little apprehensive, but Harry and Ron are full of confidence and believe that they will definitely succeed this time.

As dinner time approached, students from the four colleges gradually gathered around the four long tables in the auditorium.

As usual, Aaron put down his pet cat and calmly enjoyed his meal.

At the Gryffindor table, Ron and Harry exchanged a glance, then Ron gave Hermione a knowing look: It's your turn. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait until next time.

Hermione hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and walked over to Aaron.

Before she could even begin to speak, Aaron asked, "Hermione, what can I do for you?"

"Hmm...isn't the final exam coming up soon?!"

"I'm under a lot of pressure, so I wanted to borrow Abe for a bit," Hermione said, somewhat embarrassed. "This little guy is so warm and comforting to hold; he's really relaxing."

Abe immediately raised his proud dragon head, looking as if he wouldn't be happy even if you praised him.

However, the fact that the hat on its head had inexplicably risen a centimeter higher proved its secret delight.

"You're under a lot of pressure?" Draco, who was opposite Aaron, couldn't stand it anymore. "What are you talking about? I'm the one under a lot of pressure!"

If my father finds out I lost to you, who knows what kind of scolding he'll give me!

"Then you should try harder! As long as your grades aren't lower than mine, that's fine," Hermione said haughtily, though she wasn't so easygoing with Malfoy.

"I..." Draco hesitated, knowing the gap between himself and Hermione, a top student, but he couldn't lose face, he couldn't lose in terms of momentum. "I'll prove it to you."

“We’ll see!” Hermione said, then looked at Aaron. “Could I borrow Abe for the night?”

Aaron hesitated. If it were a cat, he would definitely lend it, but this was a dragon!

Generally speaking, girls have little resistance to Abe, but if they notice the wings under Abe's clothes, then things will get really interesting.

"If it doesn't work out, that's fine. I won't make things difficult for you," Hermione said, sounding a little aggrieved, but no one noticed the relief hidden beneath that aggrieved expression.

If Aaron doesn't agree, then Harry and Ron's plan has failed, and she won't have to go through the trouble of kidnapping the cat against her will.

“It’s not impossible,” Aaron said, “but you have to promise me you’ll take good care of it, and you must be careful not to let anyone else touch it, and you absolutely cannot take off its clothes.”

"So it sleeps in its clothes at night?" Hermione asked, somewhat puzzled.

A look of grievance immediately appeared on Abe's face. Although the clothes she was wearing were specially made by Genes, with good elasticity and breathability, they could be used as pajamas.

However, for the past few months, it has only been able to take off its clothes when changing clothes, which is quite a shock to anyone who knows.

"I guess so!" Aaron ruffled Abe's hair. "This guy is especially sensitive to the cold."

“So that’s it.

"Alright! I promise you I'll take good care of it," Hermione said firmly. As for what would happen next, she couldn't guarantee anything, only hoping that Harry and the others' plan would go smoothly and that nothing unexpected would happen.

"That's good. I'll give it to you after I finish eating."

Hermione nodded and walked towards the Gryffindor table, trying to hide the conflicted look on her face from Aaron.

"You're not really going to lend her out, are you?" Draco asked with some suspicion. Aaron usually treated Abe like a treasure, not allowing anyone else to touch her, but now he was lending her out so easily.

“I keep my word.” Aaron shrugged. “Besides, it doesn’t seem like a big deal!”

If you want to borrow it, I can lend it to you.

"Really?" Draco's face lit up with excitement. He was about to say something when Abbe, who had been waiting patiently for his food, suddenly bared his teeth, making Draco extremely embarrassed.

"Let's skip this one."

I'm not a girl, so I don't need cute things to comfort me when I'm stressed.

"I have my own way of venting," Draco said sullenly, then turned to Crabbe and Goyle, who were happily eating on either side of him. "You two, after you finish eating, come with me outside for a walk."

“No problem, boss,” Crabbe said between bites, though his voice was a little muffled.

As for Gao Er, he kept nodding in agreement. Taking a walk after dinner is perfectly reasonable!

"Sigh!" Draco sighed. Having two followers like this was truly exasperating. Although they were loyal, their abilities were only average, reaching only a mid-level.

On the other side, Hermione returned to her seat and was immediately met with two questioning eyes.

"Don't worry! Aaron has already promised me."

But you two absolutely, absolutely, absolutely must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

“Absolutely no problem.” Harry emphasized the word “absolutely.” “We have invisibility cloaks; no one will notice.”

Hermione saw how confident they both were and didn't say anything. She just hoped that time would pass quickly so that she could finish this matter sooner. Every extra second was torture for her.

After dinner, the people in the auditorium gradually left, leaving only a dozen or so people from the four colleges, more than half of whom were foodies.

"We're leaving now," Draco said, then pulled his two henchmen out.

Aaron nodded, then looked at Abe seriously, "This is your first time staying at someone else's place, remember to be careful, understand?"

Abe nodded, then rubbed his hand against Aaron's, showing his reluctance to part.

"Haha, alright, I still trust Hermione. Nothing should happen tonight."

Besides, you'll grow up eventually, and we can't stay together forever. Let's just consider this a chance to get used to it in advance!

Aaron comforted it for a while before leading it to the Gryffindor table.

At this point, besides the leftover food, there were only five people at the long table.

Two upperclassmen, Hermione, and Harry and Ron.

Hermione!

Hearing the sudden shout, Hermione couldn't help but tremble, then turned around awkwardly, "Sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice you."

"Looks like you're under a lot of pressure," Aaron teased, then placed Abe in her arms. "I'm leaving it to you. Just give it to me at breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Mmm!" Hermione's voice was barely audible, and she didn't even dare to look up and meet his gaze.

"Is she alright?" Aaron frowned slightly.

“She should be... fine,” Harry said. “Hermione is just a little tired; she’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”
