I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - #184 - Chapter 184 Gossip and Dating
After a while, Ian saw that the lunch he had just ordered had just been delivered. He picked up the tableware and heard a vibration from the bookshelf beside the bed. This made him frown. He didn’t like to be disturbed while eating. But soon relieved.
Apparently he thought of the source of the sound, which was the vibrating sound made by the double-sided mirror before it was turned on. Hermione’s figure came to mind, and a smile could not help but flow from the corner of his mouth.
Although it only takes a few days in total. But Ian felt like he was in another world. The one-month long journey in the last days, coupled with the two days of life and death tests, gave him the feeling that a little separation was better than a newlywed.
…
The warm afternoon sun in the autumn shined through the shade of the trees and onto Miss Granger’s face. A breeze blew by, causing her to close her eyes in comfort, leaving only her delicate eyelashes trembling slightly.
Hermione sat alone under a tree outside the castle, which was also where she and Ian often stopped when walking.
The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. Although she was staying quietly alone, her mind always recalled the rumors about Ian that she had heard during the public break in the past two days. This made her angry and sad at the same time. Feeling a little guilty.
She secretly thought about what she had been doing in the past three weeks since school started, resulting in only a handful of meetings with Ian, especially after Ian took a break from classes, the number of times they met was even less, and sometimes they only met once a week. .
Regarding the suspension of classes, she knew about it before the summer vacation ended. She remembers that after Ian finished speaking seriously, she laughed for a long time. Did the third grade master all the knowledge of the seventh grade? This somewhat impacted her inherent knowledge.
It’s just… not long after, Hermione knew that Ian was not joking at that time. He passed all the professors’ individual exams. He… really did it.
At first, with the attitude that the rumors were unbelievable, she made a special trip to see Professor McGonagall. After waiting for the definite answer, she felt disappointed. On the one hand, I am happy for Ian’s achievements, but on the other hand, I am also dissatisfied with myself.
He has only been exposed to magic for just one year, so why is he so powerful?
Hermione had not forgotten their first meeting and the conversation on the train. Although Ian was two years older than her, like her, it was his first contact with magic.
“Okay! I remembered it, but don’t blame me…” Hermione grabbed her long fluffy hair in frustration.
Yes, she remembered it. After returning from Professor McGonagall’s office, she began to study the advanced courses on her own.
Then… time passed without realizing it. If she hadn’t heard the rumors that made her angry during the common break today and chose to walk out of the castle to relax, she would even be addicted to her senior classes.
“Magic is a kind of life, but life is not only about magic…” Hermione murmured quietly as she looked at the calm black lake.
I remembered what Ian often said when he tried to persuade her. Thinking of the other person’s helpless and angry expression when he saw that she was disobedient, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Who told you to leave me behind… Yes, the whole thing is your fault. Why should I take a break from class if I just go to class obediently?”
Thinking of this, Hermione picked up a stone next to her and threw it hard into the middle of the black lake. In an instant, ripples appeared on the calm water…
But after a while, Hermione frowned again, and she thought about those annoying rumors again, about being arrogant, being arrogant, and even some people were saying that he was about to die…
Although her reason told her that these were all rumors, she felt particularly uncomfortable when she thought about others talking about Ian. Especially hearing them talking about Ian’s death made her heartache. At the same time, it also made her want to take out her wand and give those two idiots a hard blow right away.
If Parvati hadn’t stopped her, she would have let those idiots know that there would be a price to pay for gossiping.
…
At this moment, the screen on the double-sided mirror shook for a while and then returned to calmness, and the call was connected.
The moment she saw Ian’s figure appear in the double-sided mirror, she was about to say something when she was interrupted by a voice.
“Hermione! I missed you.”
This short sentence filled her heart with sweetness, especially in those pale golden eyes, she felt nostalgia.
“Miss me, why don’t you look for me.” Hermione blurted out a sentence without even thinking about it.
After saying that, she felt a little regretful. Thinking about her reclusive state during this period, maybe… in the eyes of those who didn’t know, she was avoiding him.
“Then I’m looking for you now.”
Looking at the figure that suddenly disappeared in the double-sided mirror, before she could react, she felt someone hugging her from behind. Just as she was about to pull out her wand to fight back, she heard a familiar voice.
“So, I came to find you.”
Hearing Ian’s voice and feeling the familiar smell, Hermione instantly relaxed and leaned against Ian’s body lazily.
The two hugged each other and sat quietly under the shade of the trees outside the castle.
After experiencing despair, loneliness, death, and rebirth, Ian cherished everything in front of him at this moment and held the person in his arms tightly.
Emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out.
Boys are sometimes more fragile than girls, but they have learned to hide and endure.
Ian is like this, even though he was just chatting and laughing with Dumbledore in the principal’s office. But his heart was full of joy and fear. This experience was a real life-and-death experience.
However, he knew that he couldn’t show it. Who would show weakness to him? Whether it’s the end of the world or here, he has no right to be weak.
Once the tall and green trees become weak, the first ones to be harmed are the flowers and plants sheltered under the trees, so he neither dares nor can.
But at this moment, holding Hermione in his arms, the warmth he felt on his arms, and the faint fragrance filling his nostrils gave him vague signs of breaking the strong dam he had built in his heart.
“Tell me what happened.” Hermione turned her head and stared at Ian.
The smart Hermione noticed the anomaly in an instant. She was very aware of Ian’s character, who always showed strength and indifference. Even when he told the train about his wandering experience, he was not in the same state as he was at this moment.
Seeing Hermione’s clear eyes filled with concern and worry made his heart warm.
“Nothing, I just miss you…well, I miss you very much.”
Ian also used a white lie. He was unwilling to tell Hermione this. The girl was really no less curious than Crookshanks.
And this experience made it clear that magic… was not all fairy tales. He didn’t want Hermione to come into contact with those dangerous things out of curiosity without enough experience.
At this moment, he somewhat understood Dumbledore’s mentality and why the old headmaster hid it from him. Putting yourself in his shoes, what is the difference between your current appearance and Dumbledore just now?
Ps: Someone reminded Xiaodi that he has really neglected the lovely Hermione in the past two days. ε(○`)зε(`●)зholding hands
