Chapter 56: Thats Nonsense

Hermione had forgotten how she got out of Sherlock’s office. She even forgot whether she had said goodbye to Sherlock when she left the office. It wasn’t until Harry and Ron stopped her at the corner of the corridor that Hermione came back to her senses.

Harry saw that her look was wrong and asked worriedly, “Did Professor Forrest find out that we were testing him?”

Ron also said, “If Professor finds out about it, I think it should be fine. We didn’t do anything bad. At most, he just punished us to clean the toilet or something.”

Hermione took a deep breath, regained her senses, and said loudly, “No, we were not discovered by Professor Forrest. The third test was successful, and Professor Forrest’s jinx doesn’t always work.”

“There should be a limit to how it works. The professor’s jinx will make things that have a probability to happen, increasing that probability to happen.”

“And there’s a very small chance that the test we did now happens.”

“I wrote the homework in advance until there were only two lines left, and the success rate of completing the homework is close to 100%.”

“Even if the professor said he believed that I could finish the homework, his jinx wouldn’t work on me because I have an almost 100% certainty to finish it.”

“Just like the sun has always risen from the east every day, the professor’s jinx has no way to affect an event with such a high probability of success.”

“We don’t need to worry that the world will be destroyed because of Professor Forrest’s mouth.”

Harry and Ron listened for a long time. They didn’t understand the probability part, but they understood the last sentence. They looked puzzled but still didn’t understand why Hermione was in this state.

Harry couldn’t help asking, “Since there will be no problems later, why do you still look like the end of the world is going to happen?”

Ron also trusted Sherlock but questioned whether he could protect Hermione.

“I think we’re still going to find Professor Dumbledore. Only he can ensure Hermione’s safety.”

Hermione sniffed, denying Harry’s proposal to tell Sherlock about it, “We can’t tell Professor Forrest about all of this right now because all of his jinxes took effect without his knowledge. If he had known all of this, no one would have known what would happen later. If the result is bad, then I’m done for.”

Hermione words sound logical. They finally decided not to go to Sherlock but to find a way to go to Dumbledore. But Dumbledore spent very little time in Hogwarts. As a well-known wizard in the entire wizarding world, he would be away from school most of the time.

To find Dumbledore, they had to go through Professor McGonagall for it. So, Harry and others rushed to Professor McGonagall’s office in a panic and told her everything.

After hearing them talk for nearly half an hour, Professor McGonagall barely managed to sort things out and frowned at the three of them.

“You said that Miss Granger was put on a curse, Sherlock, just like what happened to Justin and Colin before, and you said that she would be attacked by the monster in the Chamber of Secret later?”

They nodded nervously together, indicating that this was the case.

Professor McGonagall’s frown deepened, “But how did Sherlock curse Miss Granger?”

Ron said without hesitation, “He wished Hermione a happy Christmas holiday!”

Harry explained quickly, “Yes, Professor. Because Professor Forrest wished him a happy Halloween, Justin was attacked. The professor wished Colin good luck tomorrow, and he was attacked the next day. Now it’s Hermione’s turn, and she is in danger!”

Professor McGonagall’s face darkened, “That is nonsense. Don’t all of you have anything else to do? Three of you come to me just to say this? It would be best for you all to forget all of this, or I will punish you all and deduct Gryffindor’s point.”
