Now the fifth-year Slytherins had three fewer in their number than they had last June. When Randolph looked around the Great Hall, he saw other gaps, where people who previously had been here were missing now; Randolph was shocked to realise that Harry Potter was the cause of every absence. Harry Potter and Hermione Granger had transferred themselves to MMA; also, Harry Potter (or his team) had killed Professor Snape and two Slytherin students—three Slytherin students, if you decided that Potter had set up Draco to die. Besides Granger, thirty-four other Muggle-borns had transferred from Hogwarts to MMA this week, all because Harry Potter had opened his vault to make easy loans to thirty-four sets of Muggle parents.
