Chapter 580: Sleepover

"Fish," Hermione looked around carefully, then leaned into the ear of the lazy cat lying on the table and asked in a low voice, "Did Minerva inform you today?"

"What meow?"

ω

Maomao was in a state of mental emptiness and had no idea what Hermione was saying.

"It's about the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Didn't she say to discuss it with Dumbledore?"

"No meow...maybe Albus hasn't come back yet, or maybe he doesn't have time?"

Fish stretched, then continued to slump in his seat, and answered casually.

He was not in a hurry about this matter, and he was exhausted today, and he didn't want to talk to Dumbledore about Umbridge or the big tree in his dream.

Hermione, on the other hand, is different from Fish. The more intense other courses are, the more meaningless the Defense Against the Dark Arts class becomes. This makes Hermione, who attaches great importance to the O.W.L. exam, feel a stronger and stronger sense of urgency.

So she muttered worriedly: "When will this wait? Umbridge has no intention of teaching us how to defend against dark magic. If this continues, what will happen to the O.W.L. exam?"

Maomao, who wanted to lie down quietly for a while, was a little irritated by her words. He shook his ears, turned his head, and looked at Hermione with blank eyes, silently expressing his dissatisfaction.

(ω)

"Ah... I'm sorry..." Hermione noticed Maomao's gaze and couldn't help but blush, "I was just too anxious."

Fish decisively threw his upper body into Hermione's arms, lying on his back on her lap, and asked curiously: "Why are you so anxious? Even if there is an exam, won't it be tested on the content she taught?" ?”

Although Maomao didn't pay much attention to classes, he had attended school for four years, and he still knew the basic operating mode of the school.

"The O.W.L. exam is different," Hermione shook her head, placing her right hand habitually on Fish's cat ears and gently squeezing them, "This exam is administered by the Wizarding Examination Authority of the Ministry of Magic. It is not the professors at the school who decide the exam questions, even the examiners are staff from the Ministry of Magic."

"What's the difference between this and meow? Isn't that old toad the meow sent by the Ministry of Magic?" Fish asked doubtfully.

"……Eh?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that if the Ministry of Magic really wanted to prove that there was a problem with the teaching level of Hogwarts, then it would never prepare any test questions for the O.W.L. exam that went beyond the content of Umbridge's class. Even relevant content will be kept as simple as possible.

What really needs to be paid attention to is what they have learned before. If the Ministry of Magic wants to make a comparison in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, then the difficult points must be set within the scope of the course before Umbridge came.

If that's the case, there's really no need to worry...

Hermione was slightly relieved when she figured it out, but she wasn't completely relieved.

"Even if you don't have to worry about the exam questions, we still have to learn our skills, especially..." Hermione carefully looked around again, then lowered her head and whispered: "Especially when the mysterious man returns, we will be ready at any time. If you are likely to be attacked, you must have as many means of self-protection as possible.”

"Fei can protect your cat!"

(ΦωΦ)

Maomao waved his fist and said to her.

Hermione first showed a happy smile, then shook her head and said, "I know you are very powerful, Fish, and I believe you can protect me, but what about the other classmates? You can't protect everyone 24 hours a day, can you?" ?"

"Meow..." Fish was speechless. He looked up at Hermione and asked curiously: "So, Hermione, what do you want to do, meow?"

"It's not what I want to do, but I hope that Dumbledore will let Umbridge teach us some truly practical content in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so that even if we are attacked in the future, we will have more ability to protect ourselves. ." Hermione explained seriously.

Fish tilted his head and thought for a while, then concluded: "Hermione, do you mean that everyone wants to learn how to fight against cats?"

"Uh... you can say that." Hermione replied dumbfounded.

"That's not very simple, meow," Maomao shook his head, rubbed Hermione's thigh, and said, "Feishu can take you to the Forbidden Forest and find Lu Wei, Wuwu, and Buckbeak to be your opponents. Meow, if you fight them a lot, you will naturally learn to fight, meow.”

(`)

Because Maomao had taken Harry to the Forbidden Forest for special training before, Maomao quickly thought of a solution.

And Fei Xu immediately came up with another plan...

"You can also ask Severus or Filius to start the second-year dueling club again."

The cat who felt sorry for his mother did not mention Professor McGonagall. He shook his ears and continued: "Fish actually likes the meow from that club, but unfortunately the others are too weak and it's boring to fight meow."

After hearing his words, Hermione was stunned again, and then she murmured softly: "Yes... you can still do this..."

Then, Miss Know-It-All began to fall into deep thought, while Fish adjusted the position of his head, then closed his eyes and enjoyed his girlfriend's lap pillow comfortably.

(ω)

Neither Fish nor Hermione went out for a walk that night. Fish didn't want to move, and Hermione also had a lot of confusing thoughts and needed time to sort them out one by one.

Since there was no night outing, Maomao rarely participated in the sleep talk in the dormitory. After everyone changed into pajamas and climbed into their respective four-poster beds, Ron popped his head out from behind the curtain and said, "I've started now." Desperately in need of George and Fred’s skipping candy.”

His voice was full of exhaustion, and he sighed: "My Vanishing Curse has barely improved, and I will definitely be scolded by Professor McGonagall in the Transfiguration class tomorrow."

Then, a sigh came from the other direction, it was Neville who also had no progress with the disappearance spell, and was even worse than Ron.

In fact, Harry, Seamus and Dean have not fully mastered the Vanishing Curse, but compared with Ron and Neville, their progress is relatively obvious, and they are more confident.

"Obviously you two are too stupid, meow." Fish followed Ron's example and poked his head out from behind the curtain, "Fish and Hermione have taught you more than ten times, but you still can't remember how to wave the wand. The amplitude and timing of jitter.”

When Fish was in the common room, he was not sleeping all the time. Later, he and Hermione helped several classmates practice the disappearing spell. Cat's eyes and ears were there, and he could very accurately point out where other people were. Error while casting the spell.

Harry and the others have made such great progress, and Maomao definitely deserves a lot of credit.

Only Ron and Neville's progress has not been very obvious. Everyone has known that Neville's memory is not very good, but Ron's situation is different...

"You seem a little distracted today, meow," Fish pointed out Ron's problem bluntly, "otherwise your progress wouldn't be so bad, meow."

"Uh... Fish, you can tell..." Ron scratched his red hair and did not deny it.

"What's wrong with you, Ron?" Harry also poked his head out and looked at his friend in surprise, wondering that he didn't discuss anything with him.

Neville and the others also poked their heads out from the curtains and looked at Ron, whose ears were red.

"It's not about the Quidditch selection yet..." Ron sighed and said, "I want to run for the new goalkeeper, but I don't have my own broomstick."

He had been a substitute on the Gryffindor Quidditch team for four years. Normally, there would be no need for selection and he could directly fill the vacancy left after Wood left.

But because he didn't have his own broomstick, Ron could only continue to be his substitute.

"Aren't there extra broomsticks in the school? Can't you borrow one?" Dean, who didn't know much about the operation of the Quidditch team, asked curiously.

"It's okay to be a substitute, but the official players must have their own broomstick." Ron explained: "After all, the intensity of official games is relatively high, and the loss of brooms is also greater. It is impossible for the school to produce brooms and maintain them for you. ”

"And the school's broom model is too old to be used for competitions." Harry also added at the side.

"Can't the academy pay for you to buy one like we did when we recruited Harry to join the team?" Neville asked.

"The team doesn't have that much money anymore..." Harry and Ron both showed a look of embarrassment and explained: "Actually, Professor McGonagall put some money into Harry's Nimbus 2000. Bought.”

Ron sighed again and said: "Mainly because the Triwizard Tournament was held last year and there was no Quidditch competition, so the school did not allocate funds to the team. Besides... my flying level is not like Harry's With such a high score, the team would pay to recruit me.”

"How about Fish give you one?" Maomao tilted his head and said, "Fish wants to give Minerva one anyway, but Fish may not be able to buy a very good broomstick with the remaining money. Meow."

"That's too expensive! I don't want it!" Ron was startled and quickly refused.

Harry, who also wanted to ask Ron to buy one, silently closed his mouth.
