People in Hogwarts, holding scripts and systems

"It's really strange." Afro stroked his chin and muttered, "Maybe Umbridge also doesn't like him."

Harry looked at her face carefully, which was twinkling with a playful light. He did not hide his excitement for her.

"I wanted to write to Sirius and see what he thought—"

The next morning, Harry wrote a messy letter. Moody reminded them to be careful when writing letters because there were letter thieves who could intercept them.

Harry held up the letter and read it several times, making sure that no one else could get any information from it, then he carefully sealed the parchment.

In the auditorium, Ron put down the half-eaten bread, took a big sip of pumpkin juice, and then said to Afro, "Would you like to go out with me earlier? Practice with me before the training."

Afro threw the eggs onto Ron's plate while Fred and George weren't paying attention.

"sure--"

Hermione unfolded the newspaper and hid herself behind it. "I don't think you should do this. You'll fall behind on a lot of homework."

Ron pouted unhappily and tried to ignore her.

Suddenly, Hermione spread the newspaper on the table.

“Look at this!”

Harry, Aphrodite and Ron looked down at the article carefully. It was not long and it said: Sturgis Podmore had illegally trespassed into the Ministry of Magic.

"The guy with the straw on his head? He's from the Order of the Phoenix—"

"Ron, hush!" Afro looked around cautiously and read worriedly: "Six months in Azkaban."

Harry was very shocked and growled, "Just for a door?"

"Don't be silly," Hermione said in a low voice, "He must be going on something."

Afro lowered his head thoughtfully and read the article again from the beginning, then hurriedly said, "I have something to go out for a while."

"Harry, I'll leave Ron's practice to you."

After saying that, she hurriedly left the auditorium with her schoolbag.

Afro originally planned to go to the headmaster's office to find Dumbledore, but unexpectedly she ran into him at a corner not far from the auditorium.

This corner is just right for seeing the scene in the auditorium, but the people in the auditorium cannot see this side.

Afro felt that Dumbledore came here mostly because he wanted to see Harry, and he was really concerned and worried about Harry's situation.

"Come with me to the office, Aphrodite," Dumbledore said to her briskly.

Arriving at the headmaster's office, Dumbledore took out the newly released candies and placed them on the table.

"Sit down, Aphrodite."

After Afro sat down, he looked at Dumbledore in confusion.

Did he already know why I was looking for him?

"I guess you saw the report."

Hearing this, Avro was able to confirm that Sturgis Podmore was controlled by the Death Eaters.

"Is it Nott?"

Dumbledore nodded, and that day when Harry went to the Ministry of Magic for trial, they ran into Nott and Fudge in the corridor talking.

"They cast the Imperius Curse on Sturgis and allowed him to break into the Department of Mysteries." Dumbledore's tone was a little solemn.

The room fell into silence.

Afro took a deep breath and continued, "Is there something they want in the Department of Mysteries?"

"It seems to be like this now." Dumbledore took a sip of tea and took the initiative to change the subject. "There is one more thing."

"After you gave me the locket last time, I asked several ghosts of the colleges. Except for the sword of Gryffindor, the treasures of the other three colleges are gone."

Aphrodite breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. The golden cup was in Bella's vault, and the crown was in the Room of Requirement.

There is also the Resurrection Stone Ring.

Aphrodite was really afraid that Dumbledore would go to get the ring alone and then follow the plot of the original book.

"Such an important thing must have been placed in a hidden place by Voldemort." Afro tried his best to keep calm and make his tone sound natural.
