Chapter 31
Yesterday, Thorne was emo for about half an hour and fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already the next day. Draco went somewhere in the morning, and Goyle and Crabbe rarely slept in.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the dormitory door was pushed open. Draco walked in in a hurry, pulled Thorne up, raised his hand and cast a cleaning spell, and then took Thorne's wizard robe and put it on him.
"Wait, what's going on?" Thorne asked in a daze.
"It's a big deal! Just come with me." Draco said mysteriously, and pulled Thorne out of the dormitory.
In this way, Thorne was dragged from the dormitory to the lounge by Draco, but he saw the lounge was crowded with witches at this time. Goyle and Crabbe also set up two tables to register and fill out forms there.
"What's going on? Where are Goyle and Crabbe looking for a spouse? I didn't realize they were so attractive. There are so many people. Hey, let's go around." Thorne said teasingly.
"No need to go around. We're here." Draco said with a cruel smile.
"Huh? We're here? Am I sick to come here to see Goyle and his friends looking for a spouse?" Thorne asked.
"Not Goyle and his friends, but you." Draco said with a smile.
"Didn't you break up with Granger yesterday? Today I'm recruiting friends for you. I've put in a lot of effort."
"Are you... serious?" Thorne asked after taking a deep breath.
"Yeah." Draco nodded.
"Ah... come on, good brother, shake hands." Thorne stretched out his hand to Draco.
The latter also smiled innocently and shook his hand.
"Ah? You really want to shake hands!"
"!!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
...........
"If you don't want it, then don't... why are you hitting people!" Draco said with his head wrapped in bandages in the infirmary.
"Yeah! Yeah!" The two mummies on the bed next to him also echoed.
"Why don't I put you on the wall for doing something like this! Ask yourself, is this something a normal person should do?" Thorne said coldly while sitting on a chair and hugging his shoulders.
"Okay, the culprit, go out. The patients need to rest." Madam Pomfrey came in with three bottles of potions and said to Thorne.
"OK, you guys take a good rest. I'll go out for a walk." Thorne walked out of the infirmary. Although he said he was going to walk, there were only a few places in Hogwarts that could be used for entertainment, such as... the library.
This was also due to the fact that the Slytherin dormitory was dim enough, so dim that reading there was enough to hurt the eyes, so the library also played the role of doing homework.
Although the homework had been solved, it was also good to consolidate knowledge there.
I found a secluded corner in the library and opened the textbook on flesh and blood magic produced by Voldemort and started reading.
"......Why is there wind in this place? And a trace of strange magic?" Thorne frowned suddenly, but he didn't think much about it and continued to read.
Half an hour later.......
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Thorne, and he looked up.
"....Why are you here?"
Hermione took a deep breath and finally said: "Go and turn yourself in... Find Dumbledore."
"???" Thorne looked at Hermione in confusion.
"You ate mushrooms? Why should I turn myself in?"
"I ask you, what book are you reading?" Hermione asked tremblingly.
"... "Advanced Flesh and Blood Transplantation"." Thorne said after a moment of silence. He still didn't know what the cause and effect relationship was between the book he read and asking himself to turn himself in.
"That's it! Hogwarts strictly prohibits the study of dark magic! You go to Dumbledore now and turn yourself in, and promise not to look at this kind of thing again, and he will definitely help you!" Hermione whispered.
"............" Thorne fell silent, and suddenly he had a bold idea. His expression suddenly became guilty, and he sighed and said, "You are right, I will go to Dumbledore now... Can you accompany me?"
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and nodded.
Thorne and Hermione came all the way to the principal's office, knocked and pushed open the door of the principal's office. At this time, the principal's office was still lively. Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall were talking to Dumbledore.
"Thorne? And Miss Granger, what's the matter?" Dumbledore asked.
"If you have something to say, we can avoid it." Thorne said.
"It's okay, we just finished talking,It's you, the atmosphere is a bit weird, what happened?" Dumbledore said.
"Well..." Thorne took a deep breath, adjusted his mood and said in a sad tone: "I came here, I did something very wrong, I... I decided to come and confess to you under Hermione's persuasion."
Professor McGonagall was a little surprised when she heard Thorne's tone, and was about to ask, but was stopped by Snape.
"You did something wrong?" Dumbledore frowned and asked.
"Well. I..." Thorne was silent for a moment and looked at Hermione, who gave him an encouraging look.
"I... I am studying the dark arts!"
"..........You studied the dark arts?"
"Huh? Is it the one I know?" Professor McGonagall suddenly asked Snape in a low voice.
"Well. "The latter nodded.
"Eh............" Professor McGonagall sighed helplessly.
"What is... black magic?" Dumbledore tried to control his facial muscles and said as calmly as possible.
"This book, "Advanced Flesh and Blood Transplantation" Thorne put the book on Dumbledore's desk.
"This book... How should I put it? In a sense, it is indeed black magic." Dumbledore picked up the book and flipped through it casually.
"That... Professor Dumbledore, Thorne came here on his own initiative after all, which is considered surrendering. Can we..." Hermione suddenly spoke at this time.
"Oh... leniency, right? Yes, yes, of course we will..." Dumbledore said seriously.
"Huh..." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, an inappropriate laugh suddenly appeared.
"Puchi! "
This laugh was like the first domino, and like a chain reaction, the entire principal's office, except for Hermione, couldn't help laughing, and it was filled with a happy atmosphere for a moment.
