A certain Hogwarts esoteric leader

Hermione was halfway through planting the trees, but still didn't wait for news of Miss Dementor's appearance.

She wrinkled her little otter nose, feeling something was wrong.

They had already made an appointment, so even if there was a slight deviation in time, it wouldn't be such a big deviation.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to go to Miss Dementor's "territory" to check out the situation.

Knowing the specific location from the tree, she stretched out her right paw upwards, then waved forward and said, "Everyone, follow me!"

She saw a road split in the forest, and the saplings jumped onto the big tree one after another, while the small trees followed behind. She herself jumped onto the branches of Granger 1 in a few steps, with the smallest sapling on her shoulders. .

Hermione moved her entire family in one direction with her 72 trees (an increase of 1).

This is something that can only be done if you have the "right of way to the forest land". Otherwise, those old trees that have grown for who knows how many years will not give way to her!

Not long after, she saw a tall and straight "cedar".

There are many "cedars" in the forest, but there is only one that will not give way to her at this time, and that is Miss Dementor's "Dementor No. 1".

Of course, this was a name she chose without permission for convenience, and she wouldn't recognize it at ordinary times.

"Is your Miss Dementor here?" she asked.

I saw the cedar shaking its body.

Hermione patted her willow tree and motioned for it to "translate".

All the trees in the forest can understand what she says, but in turn, she can only understand the meaning of her own tree, and the meaning of other trees can only be understood through the "translation" of her own tree.

I saw the willow tree waving its branches from side to side a few times, as if shaking its head.

"Aren't you here yet?" Hermione frowned and put her paw on her chin, feeling that something was fishy.

It's been almost an hour and a half now. Could it be that something delayed the entry into Mansu?

It's not like he doesn't want to see her.

Hermione shook her head, ruling out this possibility.

Miss Dementor is not that willful person, and I get along quite well with her, and that pleasant feeling cannot be faked.

That's because there's something going on in reality.

Speaking of which, Miss Dementor does have a lot of things going on.

Otherwise, she would not be able to widen the gap of 8 trees during the monthly commendation.

But when will she come?

Hermione stretched, clapped her hand to her mouth, and yawned.

She couldn't show her presence in front of Miss Dementor, so she felt like there was something missing from tonight's trip to Mansu.

Then, she saw a willow branch dangling in front of her eyes, pointing in one direction.

Hermione looked in the direction and saw two or three dull and listless seedlings behind the cedar.

She couldn't help frowning.

The newly born tree of knowledge is very fragile and must be fed with mental power on time in order to survive.

Miss Dementor must have something urgent, otherwise she would not even forget this point.

She jumped down from the branch, and the willow branches gently hugged her to cushion her landing.

She walked over, intending to help Miss Dementor feed her, but she saw the cedar tree blocking her way.

The few seedlings also retreated behind the cedar.

No need for translation, Hermione knew what it meant.

Just don't want her to feed.

"It will wither." She frowned and said, "I don't know when Miss Dementor will come."

The cedar shook its body, and the seedlings retreated further.

Strange!Miss Dementor was not rejected when she fed other trees with spiritual power!

How come I can't do it?

It feels like it's guarding against thieves.

Or, leave it alone?

It's not her tree anyway.

But when she looked at the haggard seedlings, she felt very intolerable.

What if it really dies!

She thought for a while and said, "You guys stay here and don't move. I'll go see Mr. Night Watchman."

The woods split into a narrow gap, and a path appeared between them. Hermione walked towards it alone.

Naturally, when you see Mr. Night Watchman, you can't drag your family and make a big fuss. It would be too rude.

Passing a thin stream of water on the road, she couldn't help but be a little curious, but when she thought of the few seedlings waiting to be fed, she decided to meet Mr. Night Watchman first.

There are still six days left in the "woodland right of way", so it will be quite easy to find this stream again.

Not long after, Hermione met Mr. Night Watchman again in a slightly open space.

And Yunieff has been waiting here for a long time.

"Good evening, Mr. Nightwatchman." Hermione waved her paw from a distance.

"Good evening, Miss Otter." Yunieff's voice was as calm as ever.

When Hermione came closer, he asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Well..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, "I want to ask, did something happen to Miss Dementor?"

It was not good behavior to ask Mr. Night Watcher for information about Miss Dementor, but she was still a little worried.

"Yes. She encountered some special circumstances." Yunieff said.

Hermione asked nervously: "What's going on?".

"I'm not very clear about this." Yunieff answered with facts, "For some reasons, I can't observe the real world yet."

Hermione couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Just, for now?

However, she still focused on the immediate priority and asked: "Will Miss Dementor still enter Mansu tonight?"

Yunieff glanced at me and said, "You can ask me this question again tomorrow."

Hermione scratched her head, feeling that she had asked stupidly.

Since Mr. Night Watchman cannot observe the real world, how can he be sure whether Miss Dementor will enter Mansu?

"What about her trees?" she asked. "If Miss Dementor doesn't come in, her trees, especially the seedlings, will die."

"Moreover, they seem to refuse my feeding." She said distressedly, "Why is this? Miss Dementor also fed spiritual power to other trees before?"

"You want to feed those seedlings, right?"

"Hmm." Hermione nodded.

Yunieff said carefully: "They reject you because they are worried that your mental power will erase Miss Dementor's mental imprint."

"Psychic mark? Eradicated?" Hermione was stunned for a moment.

"The spiritual imprint is the basis for establishing a connection between you and the tree. If it is erased, the connection between you and the tree will be lost." Yunieff explained.

"Injecting your own spiritual power will deepen the spiritual imprint. Injecting other people's spiritual power will offset the spiritual imprint. Therefore, it is most appropriate for individuals to take care of their personal trees."

"The spiritual imprint on the seedlings is the easiest to be erased. They will decide whether to obey you according to their own will."

"So that's it." Hermione suddenly realized.

No wonder those seedlings look like that. With Miss Dementor’s personality, the trees she planted must have this temper.

"But what should we do with those seedlings? Can we just watch them die?" she said worriedly.

Yunieff said calmly: "I can take care of Miss Dementor's tree for a period of time without erasing her mark. However, if she does not respond for a long time, these marks will gradually fade over time. .”

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. She still believed in Mr. Night Watchman. There was no need for Mr. Night Watchman to lie to her.

But, what happened to Miss Dementor?

Can I still see her when I go to Hogwarts tomorrow?

She originally wanted to try to see if she could find her true identity first...
