After leaving the principal's office, Ryan and Hermione didn't know what to do for a while. Now the meal time is over, but Ryan and the others don't know what class they should take at this time. Because they hadn't been at Hogwarts the previous week. So naturally I don't know what the class schedule for this semester is.

"Why don't you just go to the dormitory and pack up your things? There must be no mess." After standing at the door of the principal's office for a while, they finally decided to go back to the common room first.

What they didn't expect was after they'd just crawled into the Gryffindor common room. Several students who stayed in the common room without class saw them and immediately surrounded them and greeted them warmly, calling them heroes at the same time.

"What happened?" Ryan asked his acquaintance, Colin Creevey, after squeezing out from a group of enthusiastic classmates. "Why do people call us heroes?"

"Don't you know?" Colin looked a little surprised. "Now almost everyone here knows about your previous struggles on the Hogwarts Express and your persistence in Azkaban. You are now the most powerful heroes on our side since the beginning of this war. By the way, can you say What was the specific situation in the previous battle? The Hogwarts Light did not say clearly—”

"Wait, what is the Light of Hogwarts?" Hermione came up and asked, "Percy also said this Light of Hogwarts when he walked in the door just now, it sounds like some kind of promotional program or some kind of The name of the magazine and newspaper."

"Oh, by the way, you have been in Azkaban before." Colin made a sudden realization expression. "The Light of Hogwarts is a wizarding radio station created by senior student Li Jordan and a few classmates. They are on the second floor of the Screaming Shack in Hogsmeade Town below the mountain. If you stand on the astronomy tower, You can still see that antenna of their radio station."

Is this a public opinion war? Ryan thought that as for the reason why he and Hermione became the focus of the publicity, it must be because their losses in the previous fight against Voldemort were too ugly, so they had to find some so-called heroes to boost morale.

"What about the Death Eaters? Have any Death Eaters attacked here recently?" Ryan then asked. "After they took over the Ministry of Magic, they couldn't have been so obedient and stayed in London in the south."

"I don't know much about this either," Colin said. "I'm just a student, and the only channels I can get access to outside news are Hogwarts Light Radio Station and the "Daily Prophet". Now the "Daily Prophet" is full of nonsense, and the Hogwarts Light There are not many programs broadcast on radio stations every day."

Having said that, he looked at Ryan who was a little disappointed and thought for a while, then added. "However, on the night we arrived at the school, there were sporadic explosions from the direction of Hogsmeade all night, and we could hear them in the Gryffindor bedroom. The next morning Deng Bullido told us it was just a random Death Eater attack."

"After that, many wizards came one after another. Hogsmeade and Hogwarts also set up patrols. And until today, there is no sound of any attack nearby. But according to reports on the radio, there have been attacks and even homicides in many places in the south."

"Sounds bad." Lane shook his head. "Now I can only pray that it will get better in the future."

"It will definitely get better in the future." Colin Creevey seemed very confident. "We have Principal Dumbledore, and the savior Harry Potter. By the way, there are even heroes like you. I believe we can defeat the mysterious man and win the final victory."

"Yeah, we're going to win," said Hermione. Both she and Ryan feel that as long as everyone can maintain this optimistic attitude in the current situation, then this war will definitely not fail.

When it was time to eat at noon, some of the evil consequences of this war were vividly displayed. There were only a dozen people scattered around the Slytherin table,

And the number of people at the Ravenclaw table was also reduced by a large amount visible to the naked eye.

The entire auditorium was silent, and everyone tried to lower their voices when they spoke. Occasionally, a few people laughed so harshly, those who laughed in the silence soon stopped laughing, and then lowered their heads continue to eat.

"Here—" Just as Ryan and Hermione walked halfway through the long table, a somewhat deliberately lowered greeting came over. Looking at the sound, Ryan found that Ron was waving to them, and Harry and Ginny were sitting beside him.

"Nice to meet you," Ryan said as he sat down, put a piece of chicken on his plate, and ate. "I patrolled all night last night, but I came back directly when I met Moody this morning, and then I went straight to the principal's office. I have been spinning around for 24 hours, that is, I ate in Dumbledore's office this morning. Just some sandwiches and cake. I'm starving and tired."

"Sounds terrible, especially in a place like Azkaban." Ron shook his head. "It's unbelievable that you could spend a whole week there just feeling a little tired."

"That's right." Harry said after swallowing the food in his mouth. "It's been rumored in private that you and Hermione killed a lot of Death Eaters when you were attacked on the Hogwarts Express last time. Isn't that true?"

"It's true." Ryan looked at the distance from the people around him, so he said to Harry. "At that time, Hermione and I cooperated to kill 18 Death Eaters. We can be sure that all of them were mercenaries hired by the mysterious man from abroad. Because all the elites were taken by the mysterious man to attack the Ministry of Magic."

"Nice job." After hearing what Ryan said, Ron patted his thigh and said, "It's time to give those damned Death Eaters some power."

Ron's voice attracted the attention of many people, but unlike what they imagined, after hearing the news, many people did not alienate them because of Ryan's killing before, but had excited expressions on their faces Surrounded him and asked Hermione about the specific situation at that time. There was even a Hufflepuff girl who came over to shake their hands and thank them.

"What's going on here?" After ten minutes, Ryan roughly finished talking about what happened to him this week and waited for everyone to leave. He looked at Ron who was sitting across the table and asked.

"This is a very bad thing." Ron said, "On the second morning of the attack, the students in the auditorium received a total of four letters of notification that their relatives were killed in the attack, and more than a dozen people's letters. Family members were injured in the attack. Like the girl who shook your hand just now, whose father was an Auror and one of Scrimgeour's guards. The same group as Scrimgeour were killed in the attack that day."

"Damn war!" Ryan understood it all at once. Many people tend to be Madonna, and the more people who grow up in a peaceful and prosperous environment, the more serious this tendency is. But once the war breaks out, the flames of war are close at hand, even when one's own relatives are involved. They will immediately wake up and walk on the true and correct path.

That's why, after learning that Ryan had killed so many Death Eaters, most people didn't fear but thought Ryan and the others were heroes.

The impact of the war is not just a simple change in everyone's mood. For example, the dishes and quantities on the table are much less than in the past, and according to Ron, the current requirements for everyone in potions and herbalism classes are also different. It's been more detailed, and doesn't offer a nearly unlimited amount of material to experiment with like it used to.

From these things, it is clear that after losing the Ministry of Magic grant and the trustees' donation, Hogwarts' funding gap has become very large. Ryan only hopes that the overall situation will improve after the injection of his money.
