days at Hogwarts

Chapter 127 The Days at Hermione's House

"Mrs. Thatcher has been named a lifelong nobleman." Wendell said vaguely while biting the bread and reading the front page of the newspaper.

He naturally diverted his thoughts to the wizard, "Hey, Loren, are there nobles in the magic world?"

Loren was eating slices of bread with milk, and he didn't like strawberry jam very much: "Yes, in fact, wizard society is probably similar to society in the Middle Ages."

Monica also pricked up her ears to listen.

Loren felt that as the parents of little wizards, they had the right to know about the trend of thought and basic situation in the magic world.

Loren said: "The magic world divides people into pure-blood, mixed-blood and Muggle family origins according to blood. Pure-blood wizards with 28 pure-blood families as the core can be regarded as nobles."

"Wizard society has serious blood theory and blood discrimination. Pure blood wizards discriminate against non-pure blood, including mixed blood and ordinary families. Children from ordinary families are easily bullied by pure blood. The situation improved after Principal Dumbledore came to power. But also It cannot be completely prevented from happening.”

"Discrimination? This is really bad!" Monica looked at Hermione worriedly, "Honey, you haven't even told us about this."

Wendell didn't read the newspaper either, and was worried and serious: "How is the situation now, should we consider transferring schools?"

The Grangers attach great importance to the campus environment.When Monica was in school, the campus environment was also very harsh. As an adult, she found it unbearable to meet prejudiced teachers and classmates who always made things difficult.

They couldn't help but worry when they thought that Hermione might encounter a similar situation at such a young age.

The letters Hermione sent back home always only included novelty and interesting information, and never mentioned such things as blood discrimination. She didn't want her parents to worry.

Hermione quickly explained: "That's not all. Only little wizards in Slytherin are instilled with this view. No one in Gryffindor College discriminates against blood."

"Really?" Monica asked Loren for confirmation. She was worried that Hermione said this to continue learning magic.

Loren nodded, "Pure-blood wizards are now a minority, and more mixed-bloods are entering the magic world, bringing modern thinking to set off a revolution."

Monica was a little relieved.

Hermione took the opportunity to add: "Do you remember? I mentioned that Hogwarts has four houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin, only Slytherin's People have that kind of backward thinking..."

"Gryffindor values ​​courage..."

Hermione talked about the founders of the four colleges and the ideological atmosphere of each college, so that parents don't have to worry.

The dining table turned into a happy atmosphere again, a warm family breakfast time.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. Hogwarts was the only school of wizardry in the whole of England. If she really wanted to transfer schools, she would have to go to a foreign country.

Taking advantage of her parents not paying attention, she raised her head and gave Loren a hard look.He was not expelled for violating the school rules, but he almost transferred because of this person.

It's not my fault, I'm just stating the facts.

Not to be outdone, Loren stared back.

After breakfast, Monica tidied up a little and went out with Wendell.Driven to do some shopping, pack up camping stuff, and be back before lunch, I'm pressed for time.

"You guys have fun at home!" The door slammed shut.

Loren and Hermione were the only ones left in the empty house. They sat quietly on the sofa, sitting upright and meticulous.

Hermione was a little awkward. It wasn't that they didn't get along alone, but now the two of them were alone in her house, and it felt strange.

Especially when he was bitten by Loren last night, the strange feeling became even more serious when he thought of it.

After breakfast, her sleepiness seemed to disappear for a while, and she was even very refreshed now.

"Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Hermione tilted her head.

Loren, who always fell asleep whenever he could, is very energetic now. He shook his head lightly, "I won't be sleepy after breakfast."

"Then, what are we going to do now?" Now that the two of them were alone, Hermione still didn't dare to look into Loren's eyes. The clear blue color would suck people's thoughts in like an ocean.

"If you ask me that, I don't even know which of the two of us is here as a guest." Loren said with a smile, "What do you usually play at home, take me with you."

After hearing this, the strange feeling in Hermione's heart gradually disappeared, and she relaxed: "I used to read books and do handicrafts at home during the school holidays. After I became a student at Hogwarts, I have been in the school holidays all the time. Practice magic, read wizard books."

Loren's heart trembled briefly when he thought of the room filled with several large boxes of handmade works.

Hermione's life is very simple and can be seen through at a glance.Going to school to study, after school is to preview and review, and the extra free time is also used to read books for entertainment. When doing handicrafts, you should remember your parents' instructions and not overuse your eyes.

In this way, several boxes of handicrafts were piled up.

No friends, no childhood, people at school called her a nerd, and she couldn't play with kids her age in the community.

No wonder Hermione was so terrified of getting expelled from Hogwarts, because this was her new and wonderful new life, full of fun and wonder.

Loren let out a breath and changed his voice, "So, Miss Granger, what do you want to take me for?"

Hermione thought for a while, and her eyes slowly lit up: "I've finished reading all the books in my own little study. I want to go to my parents' study to read, but they won't let me in."

Looking at Hermione's eager expression, Loren didn't dare to accept the proposal.

No wonder Hermione was so interested in the books in the restricted section of the Hogwarts library, it turned out that her house had a restricted section.

Loren could guess what the Grangers were thinking. Both of them were dentists and graduated from medical school. Most of the books in the study must be about medicine.Whether it's anatomical diagrams or disease diagrams, most of the above illustrations are not suitable for children, and are not suitable for Hermione to read. The Grangers are thinking of Hermione's physical and mental health.

Swollen and distorted musculature, crooked articulation, red and swollen cortex.The young Hermione watched the nightmare that she estimated to have had for a few days.

More importantly, in a place like the study, if you go in and look through it, there will definitely be traces.

If the Grangers were able to detect that they had entered through the creases of the pages and the places visited by the pen, wouldn't it be another mischievous classmate who spoiled his good daughter?

But looking at Hermione's bright eyes, the brown pupils seemed to be filled with starlight, Loren couldn't say a word of veto.

"This is your home, it's up to you to arrange." Loren compromised, and even got into snakes in Snape's office. How many things are more difficult to accept than this.

"Yeah!" Hermione exclaimed happily.

If she was alone, she might not be able to make up her mind, but it would be different with Loren's company.When criminals have accomplices, their psychological pressure will always be much less.

From this point of view, it was indeed Loren who led Hermione badly.

Hermione grabbed Loren's hand and led him to the door of the Grangers' study, taking out her wand and whispering: "[Alahoo Hole Open]"

The door lock made a light "click", and the lock cylinder was twisted under the action of magic, and the defense measures set by the Grangers were cracked.

Hermione carefully unscrewed the handle very lightly and pushed the door open.

Loren followed behind the little witch and whispered, "Hermione, why are we acting like thieves?"

He obviously felt that Hermione's actions froze for a moment, and then Hermione smiled embarrassedly, "Yes, Mom and Dad are not at home, we can see it openly."

Hermione reached out to touch the switch on the wall, and the white light on the ceiling lit up, illuminating the whole study.

The size of the study room is almost as large as the living room, with solid wood mosaic floors, and the walls are as flat as the outer walls in light blue lacquer.In the center is a long black desk with a matte brown wooden surface with dotted patterns on it, and two four-corner wooden chairs of the same color are placed beside it.

It seemed as if the Grangers could be seen sitting on it to deal with unfinished work in the clinic, or checking last month's expense bills while the other was filling out tax returns.

The two graduated from medical school, set up a clinic together, built a home, and ushered in the birth of Hermione.

There is a bookshelf on each side, and they are full of books. One side is medical professional books, and the other side is other kinds of miscellaneous books. Most of them are literary novels, and there are some best-selling books.

Hermione was unconsciously a little excited when she saw the book, skipping those obscure and difficult medical professional books, and ran to other miscellaneous books.

"The Secret Pilgrim, The Great Railway Fair..." Hermione read the titles of the books aloud, "Mom won't let me read these, thinking I'm not old enough to read these books."

The situation is better than Loren imagined, at least Hermione is not interested in medical books yet.As for Mrs. Granger's thoughts, it is also out of the protection of immature hearts. Every age has books that every age should read.

It's like asking a child to read Mo Yan's "Fat * Fat *", that is not suitable.

Loren considered her words: "Perhaps, she is right?"

"I know, but I just want to take a look." Hermione's cheeks blushed with excitement, "You choose one too, and we'll probably look through it."

Loren immediately understood that Hermione didn't have to read these books, it was just because the Grangers' ban aroused her thoughts.

Hermione had already found her target. She picked a book, knelt down and flipped through it quickly. It didn't look like she was reading a book seriously, but she just wanted to stimulate her.

He knelt down to see what book Hermione was flipping through. There were very few words in the book, and most of them were illustrations. The two stick figures in the picture showed clear and clear movements: turning and hitting horizontally, hugging and throwing, strangling with scissors...

Loren lifted the page gently, and checked the title of the book—"Analysis of Krav Maga".

Looking at Hermione again, she was completely immersed in the book, her eyes sparkled, and she fell into liking the book very much.

Loren was silent for a moment, but finally he mustered up the courage to close Hermione's book and put it back on the shelf.

Hermione looked at this series of actions, a little confused: "What are you doing?"

"Let's practice magic, the morning time should not be wasted."

Loren's reason is very legitimate, but he is not confident enough, "Didn't you say that the memory is the best in the morning, and the state is also the best, and learning is twice the result with half the effort."

Hermione eyed him suspiciously.

"I want to practice the Patronus Charm with you."

"The Patronus Charm?" Hermione's eyes lit up, "Then let's practice in the backyard."

Hermione looked back at the title of the book carefully, as if to remember it, and then pulled Loren out of the study.

Loren followed without saying a word, silently raising the priority of apparition several levels in his heart.

The breakfast time at Granger's house was around 07:30. Even if they had an expedition in the study room, there was still a halo of the rising sun outside. The bright white was mixed with the orange-yellow clouds, conveying a scene full of vitality.

The two stepped into the courtyard. The water splashed yesterday had been completely absorbed by the grass, leaving only some dewdrops hanging on the leaves and grass branches.

Seeing that Hermione seemed to be recalling the content of the fighting skills in the book just now, Loren took out his wand and waved it lightly, signaling Hermione to pay attention:
"The Patronus Charm is an ancient mystical spell that responds to our most positive emotions and conjures a Patronus in animal form that can drive certain dark creatures away, such as dementors and Voldebats. know, right?"

"Ok, I know."

Speaking of magic, Hermione's eyes were firm, "Miranda Gosack mentioned this spell, which is a symbolic spell. It is believed that wizards who can use the Patronus spell always have lofty ideals. Wizards who can summon physical Patronuses are often promoted to high positions in the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic."

"Conversely, dark wizards are considered incapable of using the Patronus Charm."

Loren couldn't help but look sideways and exclaimed: "You don't memorize all the books written by Miranda Gosack, do you?"

He only knew that Hermione admired this legendary witch, and he might have previewed her "Standard Spells" series of books, but even being able to recite content other than "Standard Spells" was too outrageous.

Hermione thought it was a compliment, and said with a smile, "I just wrote down the parts that interest me."

The morning light sprinkled on the girl's confident face, shining brightly.

Loren looked away with difficulty and brought the topic back on track: "When casting a spell, you need to concentrate on recalling the happiest memory you can think of. The stronger the pleasure brought by the memory, the stronger the effect of the spell..."

"Dumbledore can also use the patron saint to communicate, which is very convenient."

When the sun completely jumped out of the clouds, Loren finished all the theoretical content.

"Let's start practicing."

"[Call God's Guard]" Loren drew a circle with his magic wand, strands of head-sized silver light appeared above it, scattered light mist and some condensed silver light ribbons kept floating and spinning.

Hermione looked closely at her face, then raised her head and said to Loren, "I can't tell what kind of animal it is."

"I still can't summon the physical Patronus. Dumbledore said that I need to practice more." Loren was also observing the silver light, which looked a little bigger than when he was in Dumbledore's office.

　Alas, I didn't expect Eryang to be more annoyed than the first time, everyone, please take care of your health.

　　I will make up for the 4k owed as soon as possible.
