Chapter 374 372. Thank you, Miss Granger
Floyd's body fell straight to the back, and the rope produced by the binding spell was tightly wrapped around her body. Apart from being able to speak with her mouth, her body could no longer make any movements. .
Her two attendants only dared to hold up their wands, but they didn't even have the guts to fight back.
It wasn't until Hermione turned her eyes on them that one of the girls tremblingly wanted to use the Stunning Spell, but the spell didn't even touch Hermione's clothes, so it flew into the distance and hit Ground lawn.
There was no difficulty at all, and Hermione directly dealt with the three pure-blood girls. To be honest, she herself found it inconceivable that in Hogwarts Castle under Voldemort's control, pure-blood students have been crippled to such an extent.
But in fact, of course not all pure bloods are trash, but Hermione met these kind of "notorious" and "notorious" dark wizards like Hermione, who happened to be lazy and lazy, and they were bullying and afraid of hard work. They didn't even have the courage to fight back.
Because of fear, Freud did not dare to shout loudly, and the place they chose to torture Asia was also very ingenious, which fulfilled the sentence "No matter how loud you shout, no one will come to rescue you."
"You, you can't do this, do you think you are saving this little **** by stopping us? No! As long as the professors know about this and know that you cast spells on us just to save this mixed-race student, She will definitely be tortured to death!"
As if thinking of something, Floyd was nervous and hurriedly told Hermione the consequences of doing so, trying to save the situation.
"As long as you don't hurt me, and my two friends, let us go, then I promise we won't tell the professor what happened today, and this little **** won't be hurt. Granger, you It's Granger, right? I promise on behalf of the Floyd family!"
Hermione didn't look at her from the beginning to the end, but just sat beside Asia.
"Did you see? They are like this, not only them, but also the professors in this castle. No matter how hideous these people are usually, if they lose their force, they will be a puddle of mud."
The short-term ups and downs have made Asia's mood fluctuate a lot.
She kept shedding tears and sobbing softly, like a timid kitten who didn't even dare to make her cry louder.
After Hermione sat next to her, she couldn't help but buried her head in Hermione's knee, holding her slender waist with both hands and crying bitterly.
Floyd thought that Asia was frightened by what she said just now, and she felt that Hermione would definitely feel softened by Asia's current behavior, so she said more excitedly and hastily.
"Not only will I not tell what happened today, I also swear to Granger! I will never trouble this **** again! You must not kill us, right? Since Dumbledore is willing to come to the competition, he certainly does not want to Conflict with Mr. Principal, you can't kill us, you can only trust me! Let us go, Granger!"
Hermione didn't push Asia away, allowing her tears to soak her robe, and at the same time stretched out her hand, gently stroking the hair of this girl who was clearly two years older than her.
"Did you forget that there is a kind of magic in the magic world called the Forgetting Curse?"
Hearing Hermione's words, Floyd suddenly tightened his eyes, but soon she pretended to be relaxed and smiled reluctantly.
"But you have only just learned magic for less than two years, right? The Oblivion Curse is a very profound magic, even if you randomly find a seventh-grade student in the castle, you may not be able to master it, let alone you are only in the fourth grade. A year as a slave in the castle, don't scare me, Granger, releasing me is the only thing you can do!"
The more she talked about the latter, she didn't know whether she had persuaded Hermione, but she seemed to have been convinced by her own words, and her tone became more and more decisive, as if she was sure that Hermione would not do anything to her.
"She won't, can't I?"
A voice that did not belong to everyone present suddenly sounded.
Floyd suddenly turned his head and looked at the boy who didn't know when he appeared on the grass with a look of astonishment. After seeing that face that had appeared on the Daily Prophet many times, the astonishment on his face It also turned into panic!
Hermione also raised her head to look at the unexpected visitor, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled into a shallow arc, and Asia, who was buried in her knees, also looked up blankly with red eyes and saw the man who had been there during this time The students in the entire castle are swearing at the students who are terrified.
"When did you follow?"
"Hey, we've known each other for so long, Hermione, you don't really think I didn't notice that you're feeling a little different after getting back into the car."
"Then why didn't you ask me?"
"If I ask, you must tell me directly, that would be so boring. First hide it from you, and then show up suddenly when you need me, so you will get a surprise and I will be satisfied. We are a win-win situation, aren't we?"
“.Has anyone ever said that a hobby like yours is bad taste?”
"It doesn't seem to be there, but there are so many people here, we can find the answer by asking anyone at random. Miss, I remember that your name seems to be Freud? Do you think I am very funny?"
Jon raised his eyebrows and walked to Floyd with questions. He just approached and screamed in fright, just like Asia who was forced by them before, constantly wanting to Step back and try to stay away from him.
"Don't kill me! Please! Don't kill me!"
"It turned out to be a victim of paranoia." Jon shrugged his shoulders, then waved his wand casually, and the next moment Freud's eyes suddenly became hollow.
Floyd's two followers also burst into tears, but unfortunately this is the place they chose, no matter how loudly they cried, no one came to rescue them.
Following the same pattern, Jon also made the eyes of the two of them hollow, clearing the memory of them seeing Hermione and himself here today, and then weaving a false memory of Asia running away from them to fill it in.
"Change to another place, Miss Granger, the hero who saved the beauty, or it will cost me a lot of hands and feet when they wake up."
Facing Jon's ridicule, Hermione just stretched out her hand and slapped him on the shoulder, then helped Acia and followed Jon towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest near the carriage.
They can’t get too close to the carriage, it’s the key monitoring target of the Aurors, and the two of them taking a student from the castle there will definitely cause trouble for Asia’s future.
After helping Hermione solve the follow-up problems, Jon didn't stay here any longer. He is not a patriarch who cares about everything. He just found something wrong with Hermione's expression on the carriage and went to help with him. Now that the matter was over, he had no intention of intervening in Hermione's social life.
Knowing Jon, a student in the castle, certainly doesn’t feel like it’s a big deal. He also met Cedric in the Forbidden Forest before. Can’t Hermione stage a heroic rescue?
So Jon didn't intend to overwhelm the guests. After bidding farewell to Hermione, he reminded her not to forget that it would be dinner time soon, and left in the direction of the carriage.
By this time, Asia's emotions had gradually stabilized, she was still sobbing softly, bowing her head and thanking Hermione softly.
"So why didn't you resist?" Hermione looked at her calmly and asked this question again.
Acia grabbed the sides of the robe with both hands.
"If I resist, they will bully me even more, and my parents will also cause trouble to them. My mother taught me not to cause trouble in school"
"So you can bear that she wants to cast a curse on you, turning you into a beast that is neither human nor ghost?"
Tears flowed from Asia's eyes again, and her red and swollen eyes looked up at Hermione.
"Yes, but I am the only one who suffers like that, right? At least I won't bring trouble to my parents"
Hermione fell silent.
She quietly looked at this seemingly weak girl, as if she was looking at herself more than a year ago.
The difference between the two of them is that Hermione wants to sacrifice herself to save more classmates, while Acia now wants to sacrifice herself to stabilize the life of her parents.
She didn't accuse her of weak powers because both had made the same choice.
It was just because Hermione was lucky enough to meet Jon at that time, but now what kind of luck can Asia have to meet someone like she met Jon back then?
Or let the current Hermione be the former Jon?
Hermione didn't have that idea, and it can be said that Hermione still can't think of this for the time being. This time, when he comes to Hogwarts Castle, not only Jon needs to work hard to win the Triwizard Tournament, but Hermione herself also needs to work hard. important task.
About Asia, there is not much she can do now.
"Your bracelet is very beautiful."
After the atmosphere was silent for a long time, Hermione changed the subject and focused on the bracelet on Asia's left wrist.
Asia sniffled, and set her eyes on her wrists. After seeing the bracelets, her eyes were unobtrusively dull for a moment, but the next second she changed back to Normal look.
"My mom gave it to me for my 16th birthday."
"She probably bought it in a Muggle jewelry store." Hermione stared at the bracelet and said, "When I was brought to Hogwarts Castle, my mother also wore a bracelet exactly like yours. It was a skewer, it was given to her by her father on her wedding anniversary that year."
Acia is a sensitive girl, she heard the unusualness in Hermione's calm tone, so she asked in a low voice.
"Do you miss your parents?"
"Of course I miss them." Hermione didn't hide her feelings, "But I can't recognize them yet, but Professor Dumbledore told us that after this Triwizard Tournament is over, maybe our parents will The Forgetting Curse can be lifted, at least in France it has been determined to be safe, and then I will be able to recognize them again."
Acia's eyes lit up.
"Congratulations."
"This kind of congratulations in advance means that you also think that we are sure to win this game, right?"
"Your friend, that boy named Jon Green is very powerful. I heard a lot about him in the castle."
"In fact, he is usually very out of tune, but he is more reliable than anyone else in critical moments. So, if you also believe that he can win the championship in the end, then in fact, after the game is over, you will be in the same situation. will be changed."
Hermione said softly.
Acia raised her head, she didn't seem to understand what Hermione said.
"Don't forget the content of the bet between Professor Dumbledore and your headmaster, not only about the ownership of the French magic world, but also this Hogwarts castle."
Hermione looked up at the towering castle.
"Whoever wins this competition will obtain the uniqueness of the school name Hogwarts and the ownership of this castle. At that time, the professor will definitely try to keep all the students. After that, you will be able to have a normal campus life."
"Is it really possible?" Asia asked in a small voice, with hope in his eyes, but his tone was obviously a little unconfident.
For some unknown reason, Hermione suddenly remembered the words that Jon once said to herself in the castle, "The other Hogwarts professors never lie".
She laughed, also making a promise.
"Sure!"
As if moved by Hermione's promise, Asia also became cheerful and brightened. She saw the smile on Hermione's face and smiled on her own face.
This girl is obviously two years younger than her, but it gives her a sense of security that she has never had before.
Acia had disappeared from the castle for a long time, she could no longer chat with Hermione here, and before Hermione could say anything, she offered to go back.
"Try not to be alone when you go back, and avoid these people who bully you. If they still want to tie you out of the castle and curse you, then call for help, and I will hear you."
This promise shouldn't have been kept. Hermione warned herself from the beginning not to have too much relationship with the students in the castle at this time, but in the end she couldn't hold back from saying it.
Acia's red eye circles hadn't subsided yet, but she looked at her smiling face as bright as the sun.
"Thank you, Miss Granger!"
