In Hogwarts, skipping class is a matter of varying importance. Generally speaking, it depends on the strictness of the professor and the head of the house's attitude towards the matter.

Therefore, when Snape dragged the three sleepy little witches to Professor McGonagall's office, Erina felt as if Hermione beside her had been completely drained of her soul. According to the timetable, she and Luna Lovegood also belonged to Gryffindor House.

What was even worse was that Professor Dumbledore was also in Professor McGonagall's office, seemingly having received prior notice.

"Miss Granger, Miss Kaslana... I am very disappointed in the two of you. There are many who are late at Hogwarts, but cases of truancy are rare. I regret to say that the two of you... well, the three of you may need to serve detention."

Dumbledore, uncharacteristically, took the initiative to speak, his blue eyes looking deeply at Erina.

Erina frowned, a look of unwillingness on her face.

"Does it have to be this way? I think..."

"I hope you can understand that this is for your future."

The decision for detention was quickly finalized.

A total of two days, which happened to be the weekend for the next two days.

Perhaps learning from the lessons of Halloween, at Professor Dumbledore's suggestion, the detention location was chosen to be the History of Magic classroom on the fourth floor of the castle, and the punishment was - writing in a dark room!

Since the publication of "The Quibbler: New Edition," the magical world and Hogwarts school authorities have placed increasing importance on this publication almost every week, and the "A Bite of Hogwarts" section has received widespread attention.

After all, in this era lacking material and spiritual entertainment activities, it is difficult to find a similar pure food section even in the non-magical world, let alone the magical world. With a large number of letters, Dumbledore decided to separate this section from the original magazine content and recreate a publication entirely belonging to Hogwarts.

However, in this way, the content of the original few issues would definitely not be enough to form a normal publication.

Even if "A Bite of Hogwarts" was initially positioned as a monthly magazine, there was still a considerable gap in the written content and image materials. Therefore, Dumbledore simply took advantage of this detention opportunity to lock Erina and the others in the History of Magic classroom, so that they could concentrate on completing the creation of new issues.

As for the specific punitive measures, they were based on a suggestion that Erina had once casually mentioned.

Each day's detention time started before lunch and lasted until half an hour before the evening curfew.

The Hogwarts kitchen would cook a batch of delicious dishes according to Erina's menu and place them on the table at the front of the classroom. Whenever the girls completed a task, such as writing ten thousand words, they could eat a plate of food.

If they did not finish writing, they would also be provided with basic coarse bread and fresh water to ensure they would not starve to death.

In short, during these two days, the three girls were confined to that empty classroom for almost all of their time, except for returning to their dormitories to sleep every night and taking care of their daily physiological needs.

...

Outside the History of Magic classroom.

Grindelwald glanced at the white-haired ball of fluff gnashing its teeth in the classroom, and turned his head worriedly.

"Albus, are you really not afraid that the little one will retaliate afterwards?"

"If she really couldn't accept it, then she wouldn't have agreed."

Dumbledore shook his head and said calmly.

"Before the matter with Quirinus is completely resolved, I think temporarily protecting her is the most appropriate decision—we discussed this before, didn't we? I think she should also be clear about that."

"So, what do you plan to do?"

"St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries has agreed to provide Professor Quirrell with a special private ward."

Dumbledore pondered for a few seconds before looking up and saying in a deep voice.

"He may be in the hospital for treatment until Christmas, until his injuries have fully recovered, and then we will consider whether to return to school to continue teaching. The only problem is..."

"I understand, I will keep an eye on him until he is transferred to the hospital tomorrow."

"And about the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, after all, there are so many students in the school, you should take some time to prepare, in case this substitute teaching time is much longer than the last time."

"Don't worry, Albus, I'm no worse than you when it comes to knowledge of how to defend against the dark arts."

The soul is a very wonderful existence, and even wizards have not gone too far in their understanding of this aspect.

There is no doubt that Voldemort has temporarily left Professor Quirrell's body. At least after several professors' examinations, there are no flaws. However, as a spell master, Grindelwald can vaguely perceive that the curse entangled in Quirrell's soul has not dissipated. In other words, Voldemort has not completely abandoned this rare human pillar.

However, on the other hand, after losing Voldemort's power, it is obvious that the young wizard's strength alone is difficult to withstand such severe injuries, which is also the main reason why he had to be transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for treatment.

Under such circumstances, Erina, as the trigger for the entire incident, naturally had to find a way to temporarily isolate herself.

Whether Voldemort/Quirrell wanted to retaliate, or Erina planned to go all the way and cut the weeds, it was something that Albus Dumbledore was very unwilling to see.

Perhaps the latter would be slightly better...

But considering that Quirinus Quirrell's identity at this time does not have any flaws, if Erina made any irrational and impulsive reactions in public, even with Dumbledore's explanation, she would not be able to continue studying at Hogwarts.

Erina is also aware of this.

However, understanding is understanding, and what should be written down in the little book will definitely not be less.

...

The next two days were uneventful, without any accidents.

"Phew, it's finally over."

Erina moved her sore wrists and rubbed against Hermione beside her.

In front of the three of them, a stack of neatly coded parchment was placed.

If reasonable layout and picture materials provided by Luna are added, it is completely enough to publish more than two months of "A Bite of Hogwarts" manuscripts, and even some manuscripts can be saved.

This also means that from now until Christmas, they don't have to rack their brains every day to think about manuscripts.

"It's a good thing you were here, Hermione, otherwise, so much content would definitely not be finished in two days."

"I will never skip class again, and you, Erina! Don't come to my bed after the lights are turned off!"

Hermione also shook her wrists, glared at Erina angrily, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"But…"

"I really didn't expect that in two days, we could write nearly 100,000 words. This detention can be regarded as some gain. At least in the future, if we encounter any magical academic reports, it will not be so difficult to write."

"Well, go back to rest early and take a bath~ Tomorrow is a whole day of classes, and I don't want to be punished again."

The three walked out of the History of Magic classroom, talking and laughing, and walked towards the dormitory.

On the other side, a special patient was also transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

With the arrival of this patient, five adjacent wards were also occupied by five elderly wizards in their sixties and seventies. Everyone was energetic, but they insisted that they had been cursed by some terrible curse and had to recuperate in the hospital.

The hospital is not a hotel, you can't just live in it if you want!

The director of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries originally wanted to loudly scold these old wizards who were pretending to be sick...

But…

They gave too many Galleons…

Moreover, they also had a letter of introduction from Professor Dumbledore, hoping that the hospital would cooperate as much as possible... Well, this is the main thing.
