This time it was Su Xingchen's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that Draco also knew about Harry's parents. I guess Lucius told him, right?

"Don't listen to him," Ron said, taking over. "He's trying to get you to do something stupid, like go catch Black by yourself or something."

It didn't seem like the right time to let Harry know about this yet, so Su Xingchen had no choice but to follow Ron's words, "Don't think too much about it. I think he's probably trying to make you angry on purpose."

Harry nodded. Yes, he couldn't stay angry at Malfoy, or he would fall into his trap.

Ron didn't know what he was thinking about, but he got angry again.

"Five points deducted from Gryffindor just because the potion was brewed correctly. Why didn't you tell a lie, Hermione? You should have said that Neville did it all by himself!"

Hermione didn't answer.

Ron looked hard behind Su Xingchen, "Where did she go?"

Harry turned around as well. His classmates were passing by them on their way to the Great Hall for dinner, but there was no sign of Hermione.

"I clearly saw her behind the stars just now." Ron frowned.

"Uh, she..." Su Xingchen clicked the nail of his thumb unconsciously, "Maybe she went to the bathroom, or went back to the classroom to get something."

"There she is," Harry pointed.

Hermione hurried up the stairs, breathless, clutching her bag in one hand while she appeared to be stuffing something beneath her robes with the other.

"What's the matter with you?" Ron said. "You were just behind us, and then you were down the stairs in the blink of an eye."

"What?" Hermione seemed a little confused. Su Xingchen pretended to be puzzled and prompted, "Did you forget something in the Potions classroom?"

"Oh, yes." Hermione came back to her senses. "I'll go back and get something. Oops..."

Her bag was torn, which didn't surprise Harry, as he saw that Hermione had at least a dozen large books in it.

"Why do you bring so many books?" Ron asked.

"Do you know how many classes I have to attend?" Hermione said breathlessly. "Could you please get me a few books?"

Su Xingchen quickly took the three books from Hermione's hands. They were really heavy. No wonder Hermione was so tired carrying so many books every day.

"But..." Ron flipped through the covers of the books Hermione handed him, "You don't have these classes today. You only have one Defense Against the Dark Arts class this afternoon."

"Yeah, yeah." Hermione mumbled, taking the book back and stuffing it into her bag. "I really hope there's something delicious for lunch. I'm starving."

After saying that, he strode towards the auditorium without waiting for the three of them.

Ron looked at the other two with wide eyes, "Do you think Hermione is hiding something from us?"

Harry shrugged his shoulders to indicate he didn't know.

Su Xingchen smiled and patted Ron's shoulder. "What's the matter, Ron? Everyone has their own little secrets. You must have one too, right?"

After saying that, she walked briskly towards the auditorium without waiting for his answer.

She was saying, how could Harry and Ron not have noticed anything unusual about Hermione for a whole year? Some small details could be traced, but no one had speculated in that direction.

Thinking about it this way, she didn't seem so scared about someone being able to travel through time and space at any time.

Ron's eyes widened even further, his brows furrowed. "What the hell are they doing?"

Harry shrugged again, then followed Su Xingchen into the auditorium.

In the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Thursday afternoon, Su Xingchen learned that the monster put into the cabinet by Professor Lupin was called a "Boggart". She learned a new spell to deal with the Boggart: Funny Funny.

She had no desire to try this new spell, and so she stood behind Harry, believing that "I would rather die than let my friend die."

She didn't know what she would see in that cabinet, nor did she want to know. She just wanted to cover her little vest well.

However, after the incident in the secret room, Su Xingchen made another mistake.

When it was Harry's turn, he shuddered as if thinking of something. Just as he raised his wand, Professor Lupin stood in front of him and turned the Boggart into a silver-white ball.

He said almost lazily: Funny, funny, and then Boggart turned into a cockroach and fell to the ground.

"Okay, students at the back, come forward and take it out."

Su Xingchen stepped forward tremblingly. Didn’t they agree that the get out of class would end after Professor Lupin blocked the Boggart for Harry?

I don’t know if it was because I was thinking of Tom Riddle just now, but the little cockroach on the ground turned into a huge basilisk.

Fortunately, fortunately. Su Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the basilisk was scary, it was fake.

As soon as she raised her wand, the basilisk "chua" turned into a Dementor again.

Now it wasn't just her, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Why was Boggart still changing randomly?

After a while, the Dementor suddenly turned into a spider similar to the one Ron had just seen. It was not as big and scary as Ron's "Aragos", but an ordinary eight-legged spider the size of a watermelon. It ran two steps towards Su Xingchen and then turned into a cold-browed Myrtle with a distorted face and flew towards her.

After the flying "Myrtle" turned into a pot of "green poop" that only Harry, Ron and Hermione understood and fell to the ground, Su Xingchen finally reacted, cast a spell, and shouted "funny funny" in the loudest and loudest voice since he came to Hogwarts.

The Boggart exploded into a puff of smoke with a "bang", and finally stopped revealing the secrets.

The students in the classroom seemed to have realized what was happening and burst into laughter.

Harry's fear, which had seemed to have paralyzed him just now, eased and a smile appeared on his face. Even Professor Lupin laughed.

Su Xingchen was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bury her head in the wide robe. This time she really lost all her dignity and face. She hoped there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl into.

"Excellent!" said Professor Lupin. "Let me see... five points to Gryffindor for being so good. Everyone has subdued the Boggart. And five points each to Harry and Hermione."

"But I didn't do anything, Professor," said Harry.

"At the beginning of the class, you and Hermione answered my questions correctly, Harry." Professor Lupin said easily, "Oh, and there's Xingchen, right?" He looked at Su Xingchen, "How about we give ten points to the brave Xingchen?"

Su Xingchen curled her lips and said, "She doesn't want it, thank you."

After class, the students were still excitedly discussing the scene of dealing with Bogart just now. On the way out of the classroom, someone looked at Su Xingchen from time to time, then lowered their head. From their shaking shoulders, it was not difficult to see how happy they were laughing.

Su Xingchen looked expressionless: The classmates were quite nice. They hid and laughed secretly because they were afraid that she would feel embarrassed.
