"Why do you think Professor Moody is looking for you?" Draco asked as he sliced ​​through the steak.

"I don't know. I hope it's not a bad thing. Except for my dad, I don't seem to get along with the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors." Anita shrugged and forked a small piece of beef from Draco's plate. Put it in your mouth, "Today's steak tastes good."

Draco poured the steaks into Anita's plate, and took another piece from the large central plate.

"I don't like Mad-Eye Moody," Ron muttered, his mouth full of mashed potatoes.

Another difference in this semester is that the four colleges are no longer so distinct. The long tables of the four colleges are still there, but when eating, everyone basically sits with friends instead of sitting in different colleges as before. .So Anita, Draco and the trio of Hermione, Harry and Ron sat down together at dinner today.

"I don't like him either." Anita rarely agrees with Ron.

"Professor Moody," corrected Hermione.

"Okay, Professor Moody." Ron pouted, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Don't you think his magic eye is weird? Listen to my dad, crazy... Professor Moody His magic eyes can see through, and neither walls, clothes, nor the back of his own head can block his sight. So, as long as he wants, we are all naked in front of him." As he spoke, Ron showed a wretched look laugh.

"Ron!" Hermione said angrily, "Professor Moody is a respected Auror and professor, he would never do such a thing, and you shouldn't speculate like this." After finishing speaking, Hermione Stare at Anita again.

Anita threw up her hands in surrender. "An entirely different reason for not liking Professor Moody. In fact, I probably wouldn't like anyone but my dad as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Hermione just let Anita go and concentrated on educating Ron.

After eating, Anita bid farewell to Draco and the others, and came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the third floor.She knocked on the door, and a hoarse voice called, "Come in."

Anita pushed the door open and walked in, looking around.The office was all too familiar to Anita, but it looked completely different now.The office that used to be dominated by green and silver has now become red and gold, and all the books related to black magic on the bookcases have disappeared. A magic prop for behaving as if Tom had never been here.Anita stared blankly around, only feeling lost.

"Miss Riddle?" Moody reminded, his magic eyes fixed squarely on Anita.

Anita suddenly thought of what Ron said, of course she knew that those were nonsense, but Anita still moved unnaturally, "Yes, Professor Moody."

Professor Moody pointed to a large box by the door with his crutch, "Those are things left by your father, and they are all in there. There are also some books on black magic, but I don't think they are suitable for young wizards of your age If you contact him, leave it to Dumbledore, and your father can ask Dumbledore for it when he comes back."

"Ah, okay." Anita was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Moody to ask her for this. She knelt down and picked up the box, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Moody waved his hand, "If there is nothing else, you can go."

"Uh, no more." Anita shook her head. "Good night, Professor Moody."

Anita hadn't gone to Dumbledore to get Tom's books back, knowing that Dumbledore wouldn't have given her a fifth-year little witch a book about the Dark Arts.With Dumbledore's character, Anita is not worried that he will take those books. When Tom comes back, Dumbledore will naturally return the books.

Anita tidied up the contents of the box.Tom left in a hurry, and because he was going to be re-elected, he left a pile of miscellaneous things in the office, such as robes, parchment, water glasses and the like.There was also a framed picture of Irene with her arms around Anita and Tom with Irene, all three smiling.This was taken at the beginning of school last year, because Tom doesn't like taking pictures, this is the only photo of their family of three.Anita sniffed and placed the picture frame squarely on the bedside table.

There were also several notebooks in the box, all blank, and Anita suspected that the other notebooks that had written about the Dark Arts had been given to Dumbledore.Anita stacked the notebooks neatly and put them back into the box. When Anita took one of them in her hand, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Anita opened the notebook. It was indeed blank, but it gave Anita's feeling is a bit similar to Tom's diary before.

Anita rushed to the table, grabbed the quill and dipped it in the magic water, took a deep breath, and wrote on the first page of the notebook: "Dad?"

The words on the paper flickered and gradually disappeared, as if absorbed by the notebook.Anita stared nervously at the blank page, only to find, to her dismay, that nothing else had happened.

Anita rubbed the paper and sighed softly. She also knew that this was her whimsy. Everything that happened during the summer vacation was not expected by her father. If her father had expected it, those things would not have happened.So how could Dad leave something for her in advance?

Anita sat down and wrote again on the paper: "This is Anita. I miss you so much, Dad."

The words were sucked into the notebook again.

Anita smiled. She knew she was lying to herself, but she was willing to believe that the words disappeared because Dad really got the message she wrote.

"The new semester has started again. There is a lot of homework this semester, because the fifth grade is the OWLs (Ordinary Wizarding Level) year, and there are endless homework and exams just after the start of the semester. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Alastor Mu Dee, I don't like him..." Anita was babbling about what had happened recently in her notebook. Anita, who had been suffering from insomnia since Irene and Tom left, suddenly felt sleepy. fell asleep on the laptop.

It was a good night's dream. When Anita woke up the next day, although her back was sore, she had a smile on her lips.

Anita stretched her waist, and suddenly her movements stopped. Anita grabbed the notebook and stared at the densely packed words on it in disbelief. These were not the words she wrote last night, but Tom's handwriting.If it weren't for her right hand still holding the quill, Anita almost thought that the notebook wasn't blank in the first place, and what happened last night was an illusion.

Anita didn't know how the handwriting on the notebook appeared. Maybe she wrote something or did some actions last night, which accidentally undid the spell that Tom cast on the notebook.

Anita frowned and took a breath after reading a few pages of the notebook.She finally knew why Tom had hidden the words in the notebook. Anita dared to say that the books on the Dark Arts that Moody had given Dumbledore could not be more harmless than the contents of this notebook.Anita couldn't quite read the notebook, it was so esoteric, and since Tom was writing for himself, there were a few brevity in places.But Anita's family background, she can see that it is all about the study of curses, not ordinary curses, but about the one she and her father saw in the Slytherin secret room in the second grade. Research on the huge cursed magic circle.

Anita quickly scanned the contents of the notebook. She didn't care much about the magic principle of the curse. What Anita wanted to know was that Salazar Slytherin used such a powerful curse circle, and the object of the curse was What.After all, she was the one who broke the curse back then, and Anita was always a little uneasy if she didn't know what the curse was.

It's a pity that Anita went through the notes but couldn't find the answer, and Tom left before finishing the research.

Anita stroked Tom's handwriting lightly, and she decided to finish Tom's unfinished research.

Hogwarts studies are not a big problem for Anita, even though this year is OWLs year, Anita is fully able to handle it.The annoying thing is that the endless exams and homework take up too much of Anita's time, so Anita buys a lot of quick-acting skipping sugar from the Weasley twins.Of course Severus saw through Anita's tricks, he couldn't be more clear about Anita's health, but before Anita explained that she was doing the homework left by Tom, and guaranteed that she would pass with all O's After the OWLs, Severus turned a blind eye to her skipping classes, and even helped Anita write sick notes when he was in a good mood.

Anita found a lot of information about curses from Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and Riddle Manor, and then plunged into the study of black magic.

"Draco," Hermione called to stop Draco in the corridor, "do you know what Anita is up to these days? I haven't seen her for three days."

"I don't know." Draco replied with a dark face.Draco was wronged, as a boyfriend, he hadn't seen Anita for four days.Draco really couldn't help but shed bitter tears for his bumpy relationship. When he and Anita first established a relationship, Anita brought a Dark Lord's father with her, and Draco didn't dare to act rashly; when they finally came back to life After the Dark Lord, his two father-in-laws and one mother-in-law have all come to Hogwarts as professors, and Draco is strictly on guard; now only Severus and his father-in-law are watching him, Draco thought There was a chance to kiss and hug Anita, but Anita didn't know what he was busy with, and he couldn't even see Anita's face.

"George and Fred say Anita buys a lot of Quick Cuts from them," said Ron.

Draco frowned.

"We just have time today, let's go find Anita together." Hermione suggested.

Draco and the others found Anita under a tree by the Black Lake. Anita was lying on the grass, seriously reading a thick ancient book, and taking notes on a piece of parchment from time to time.

"Hi, Anita," said Hermione.

"Hey, why are you here?" Anita greeted a few people, while covering the ancient books and parchment with the wide sleeves of her magic robe without any trace.

"What have you been up to lately? We haven't seen you in a few days." Hermione asked.

"I'm reviewing the OWLs," said Anita.

"Skipping class to review?" Harry asked.

"Yes." Anita nodded without guilt, "I think self-study is more efficient."

"Which OWLs needs to learn "Introduction to Curses and..."?" Ron sharply saw the title of the book peeking out from Anita's sleeve, and he said in horror, "You're not studying black magic, are you? ?”
