- #120 - Chapter 120 Confessing with Hermione
When Ian returned to Hermione’s house again, he was still warmly welcomed by the Grangers.
After dinner, Hermione suddenly stopped him and said with some confusion: “You only went to Diagon Alley for a day, but it felt like a long time to me. You have changed a lot.”
“Oh? What’s the change?” Ian turned to look at Hermione.
“I don’t know, I just feel like… you’ve become more approachable.” At this point, Hermione pretended to look aside as if nothing had happened. “That’s what my mother meant.”
The last sentence perfectly reflected the girl’s stubbornness. Ian did not criticize it, but deliberately moved his body to make him closer to Hermione.
Before Ian could say anything, Hermione took out a small round mirror from her pocket and handed it to Ian. “Just see for yourself…”
Through the mirror, Ian discovered what kind of changes he had made this time.
His skin has become more delicate than before, and the lines on his face have become relatively softer. The most eye-catching change is the change in his eyes.
His originally dark pupils turned into pale gold at some point, and this dazzling golden color was not just on the surface. If you look closely, you can see that there was a golden flame in his eyes, beating slightly. Same.
This change instantly made Ian understand the whole story. It was obviously the effect of the purification of the Phoenix bloodline. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he chose the phoenix instead of a snake…otherwise he would have been saying a eulogy for his nose at this moment.
In fact, what Hermione was talking about was not the change in his eyes. She had felt it in Diagon Alley yesterday, and Ian’s whole temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Before, he could only be regarded as very good-looking, but he had a sense of indifference that alienated people thousands of miles away.
Now the feeling that Ian gave her was like the warm sun in winter or the breeze in spring. People couldn’t help but want to get close to her. Especially when she saw his smile just now, her heart melted.
But at this time, Ian noticed something strange about Hermione. He just got closer and felt that not only was the girl’s face flushed, but her breathing was short.
This discovery made him unconsciously distance himself from Hermione. After all, they were still in someone else’s house, and the Grangers were also on the second floor…
But taking this opportunity, Ian happened to plan to tell Hermione about Eileen. Maybe he could hide it, but he didn’t want to do that.
He really liked Hermione, not just through the filter of his previous life. More importantly, it was during his later contacts that he was deeply attracted by this intelligent, stubborn, and unwilling character to admit defeat.
“Would you like to hear me tell a story?” he asked softly, looking at Hermione.
…
About half an hour later.
“…So, this is why I went to find Principal Dumbledore.” Ian described the whole thing in detail.
After a long time, Hermione asked calmly: “So, what did you promise?”
Ian knew what Hermione was asking, so he answered decisively: “No promises.”
“Did you kiss?” Hermione asked this question, suddenly feeling a little blushing, but she still wanted to ask, otherwise she would always feel like her things had been robbed.
“No commitment, no kissing, no intimacy whatsoever… I treat her like a family member, you know.”
Ian suddenly fell silent, then raised his head and said:
“I don’t want to lie to you. Maybe I was a little moved at first. But this experience made me see my heart clearly. My previous heartbeat was not love at all, it could only be regarded as primitive physiological impulse. Because in that dilapidated place In Fantasyland, it’s really painful.”
He told Hermione everything he said in his heart, including those mental activities that were too shy to speak. After saying that, Ian stood up and prepared to leave.
“What are you going to do?” Hermione asked suddenly when she saw Ian getting up.
“Get ready to leave.”
“Why are you leaving? Didn’t you promise me to stay until the end of the holiday?”
“Aren’t you angry?” Ian looked at Hermione in confusion.
“I was a little angry at first, but when you chose to confess everything to me, I was no longer angry. If you keep hiding it, and then I find out, then I will really never pay attention to you again.”
Ignoring Ian’s slightly surprised expression, Hermione continued: “However, she is also very pitiful. Fortunately, Principal Dumbledore has a way to save her.”
Ian nodded in agreement. “Maybe this is the best ending for her. Say goodbye to that broken fantasy land, come to a new world, and start a new life.”
“So, you didn’t inherit the gold, right?” Hermione suddenly changed the subject and directly exposed Ian’s lies.
“This is really an inheritance. After all, I am the only living person there.”
Listening to the other party’s quibbles again, Hermione threw off her slippers and kicked Ian’s legs hard, but…she didn’t notice the subtle change in Ian’s eyes the moment she took off her shoes.
…
The 15-day Christmas vacation is coming to an end soon. These days, he and Hermione basically stayed together during the day, either discussing magic or listening to him talk about his various experiences and knowledge in the apocalypse.
During this period, even Hermione put forward many constructive conjectures, including using the huge resources and technology of the end of the world to promote the development of the Muggle world.
But Ian also laughed off this. Wizarding is already difficult enough, but let Muggle technology continue to develop rapidly? That’s just starting a war.
However, Hermione’s words also reminded him that he could carry out some non-traditional magic experiments there and develop some alternative potions to feed back the stagnant development of the magical world.
People who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. Maybe wizards and Muggles can live in peace in the environment of the next ten years, but he knows that after the millennium, the explosive development of technology will happen…
In the next 15 years, there will definitely be a showdown between wizards and Muggles.
Maybe he didn’t need to think so much before and could completely live in seclusion by himself, but just yesterday he promised Dumbledore that he would protect Hogwarts.
…
On the last day of the holiday, it was Mr. Granger who drove them to King’s Cross station.
Boarding the train to Hogwarts with Hermione again. This time, there was also a slight rain in the sky, and everything seemed like it was back to the first time. With the dream of magic, the boy and the girl went to a magical magic school called Hogwarts together.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The door of the compartment was knocked again, and it was still the familiar figure. “Honey, do you need some candy?”
“Pumpkin pie, Bibi’s all-flavored beans.”
“Crucible cake!”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and he and Hermione chose exactly the same snacks as last time.
As the train flew by, Ian looked out the window at the passing pastoral scenery and felt a little emotional. What he was thinking about now was no longer about Voldemort. After standing at the same height, he was no longer interested in this village bully-like existence.
After all, with different heights, the field of view also becomes different. Now he is thinking more about how to protect the future of Hogwarts and how to make wizards and Muggles reach a consensus.
