After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Professor McGonagall used to claim to be the most fair and strict professor, but since Harry Potter entered school, she has made exceptions for him many times.

Take the case of Harry being appointed as the Seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team as an exception. It was clearly Harry who was reckless and ignorant enough to ride his broom high into the sky, and then threatened his classmates to knock him off the sky. Regardless of whether Zabini violated the rules, Harry was not innocent anyway.

But not only did she not punish him or deduct points from him, she also made him a seeker and gave him a Nimbus 2000.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Professor McGonagall would wonder if she was under a curse.

For this reason, she even consulted the Charms professor Flitwick, but the conclusion was that she was not under any curse.

Just two days after the incident, Harry and Ron disobeyed orders again and ran around in the castle that had been broken into by the troll.

In the headmaster's office, Professor McGonagall felt a headache looking at these two students from her own college.

Only Dumbledore acted as if nothing had happened and invited Harry and Ron to eat lemon Sherbet.

"Minerva, don't be so angry. Would you like some lemon sherbet? Honestly, I would be sad if there was anyone in the world who hadn't tasted it."

"Thank you, Albus, but that's not necessary. I think we should discuss the punishment for these two children now." The wrinkles between Professor McGonagall's brows were as obvious as if carved by a knife.

Dumbledore still looked calm and unhurried: "Don't worry, Minerva, didn't Harry and the others say that they went to the bathroom to find Miss Granger? Although the final result was a little different from their original intention, their intention was good.

Anyway, I've asked Miss Granger to come over here... Oh, here she is.

Miss Granger, please come in!"

Hermione walked into the headmaster's office with some trepidation.

Before she came here, she was sitting on her bed in the dormitory congratulating herself on her good fortune.

In the afternoon, she did cry sadly in the girls' public bathroom on the second floor of the castle.

She understood the truth, and she took to heart what Yang Mei said to her.

But the feeling of being excluded by almost all the first-year wizards in Gryffindor was too terrible, and she needed to vent.

So she went to the bathroom stall and cried alone.

However, she had not forgotten that there would be a Halloween dinner in the auditorium tonight, so after returning to the dormitory and simply tidying up her clothes and appearance, she planned to go to the auditorium.

But before she could leave Gryffindor Tower, she met Gryffindor students returning to the dormitory from the hall.

Then she knew that the troll had broken into the castle.

Hermione couldn't imagine what terrible things would happen if she didn't leave the bathroom.

"Ms. Granger, don't be nervous. Please take a seat." Dumbledore said, "I want you to come here because I want to confirm something with you."

He recounted the story of Harry and Ron's battle against the troll in the ladies' room tonight, emphasizing their bravery.

Finally, Dumbledore said: "Because we didn't find you in the bathroom in the end, we wanted to ask you.

If you really stayed in the toilet cubicle of that bathroom in the afternoon, and just left by accident before Harry and Ron went there, then it means that the two of them were not lying, and they really did not obey the instructions to return to the dormitory because they wanted to save you.

You know, brave little wizards shouldn't be punished, they should be rewarded."

Dumbledore said, winking at Hermione.

He seemed to think he was funny.

Hermione felt a chill all over her body: "I don't understand, Mr. Headmaster. Even if I did stay there in the afternoon, it was because Ron Weasley spoke ill of me first, because they brought other Gryffindors to exclude me!

I really don't understand, why would you give them extra points?

Do I still need to thank them?!"

White light reflected on Dumbledore's glasses. He said with an unclear expression, "Oh, my child, please don't be so excited. I believe Harry and Ron were just joking with you. Gryffindor is the most united house. They are brave, strong and vigorous. How could they do something like ostracizing the little wizards in the same house?"

You probably just have some misunderstandings. Once you clear them up you can be good friends again.

What do you say, Miss Granger?"

"No, I don't think so, Mr. Headmaster. We were never good friends before, so there's no such thing as 'being good friends again'!" Hermione looked unmoved.

Dumbledore looked troubled. "Is that so, my child? Perhaps we have not been together long enough, and do not know each other well enough, so we have not become friends yet.

But it doesn't matter, why not take this opportunity for me, an old man, to mediate between you two, let Harry and Ron apologize to you, and you give them a chance to be friends with you, how about that?"

The words were very well said. At least Hermione couldn't find any fault with them and even began to hesitate.

She began to wonder if she was making a big deal out of nothing.

After all, she didn't suffer any substantial harm, but Harry and Ron did risk their lives to go to the bathroom to save her...

But when she inadvertently glanced at the two people next to her, she saw Ron lowering his head with a look of contempt and annoyance on his face.

Dogs cannot change shit.

Maybe he could change, but he definitely wouldn't change for her. Hermione thought to herself that she wasn't narcissistic enough to that extent.

She dug her nails deep into her palms, telling herself not to be brainwashed so easily.

Hermione took a deep breath and said, "I deserve to be talked about behind my back and excluded. I have no objection to the headmaster giving Potter and Weasley a thousand or ten thousand points. I only have one request. I want to transfer to another house. I want to transfer from Gryffindor to Ravenclaw!"

Everyone in the room, including the portraits on the wall, looked at the little girl in surprise.

"That's impossible, Miss Granger. There has never been a precedent of transfers at Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagall shouted.

She called Hermione and also called out, "Haven't you broken enough precedents for our savior Harry Potter?! No one has ever been able to join the Quidditch team as a seeker in their first year! No one has ever been rewarded for breaking the rules without being punished!"

Is it my fault that I don't fit in at Gryffindor because I work too hard and don't break the rules?!"

As she was talking, Hermione suddenly retched violently.

"I, I once thought that Gryffindor was the best house in Hogwarts because of what was recorded in the books..." But now I just feel sick.

There was silence in the principal's office.

Harry and Ron were both stunned by Hermione's hysterics.

Dumbledore said sadly: "What a pity, my child, I didn't expect Gryffindor to leave such a bad impression on you.

It’s just that the Sorting Hat made the decision to put you into Gryffindor, which means that Gryffindor’s characteristics are the most prominent in you…”

"That's not the case!" Hermione retorted immediately, "During the Sorting Ceremony, the Sorting Hat told me that I was suitable for Ravenclaw because I was a studious little wizard, but I wanted to go to Gryffindor, so I asked Mr. Hat to sort me into Gryffindor.

Before school started, I read all the books I bought from Diagon Alley. I believed every word and sentence written in them.

Now I don’t know whether Gryffindor is the best house in Hogwarts, but I finally know that the best is not the best for me. "

Hermione burst into tears as she spoke.

She was a little homesick.

……

Yang Mei only knew that he and Draco went to watch the show of "The Savior and his friends fighting against the giant monster" on a whim, but he didn't know what happened afterwards.

Dumbledore did not announce Hermione's change of house to the entire Hogwarts in a high-profile manner.

However, if there is one less first-year Gryffindor student and one more first-year Ravenclaw student, no one might notice it in a day or two, but after a long time, word will spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, and all the young wizards in the school will know about it.

Leaving aside how humiliated the Gryffindor people felt, Hermione only felt that after she transferred to Ravenclaw, the sky became bluer, the air became fresher, and even her mind became sharper.

The only bad thing is that Ravenclaw has almost no classes with Sterling, which means that she will hardly have the opportunity to take classes with Selwyn again!

Alas, only by competing with others can one make better progress! Hermione thinks Selwyn is the one she is chasing after!

Yang Mei: Actually, my dream in this life is to be a salted fish.
