Reversal Incidents Team

Chapter 8 A Night at 12, Grimmauld Place

"Hermione, try this pie."

Hermione took a steaming apple pie from Ginny's plate, and Luna shook her head, "Thanks, I'm vegetarian."

"But Luna, it's apple pie." Harry said puzzled.

Luna was talking about weird theories again in her singing voice. "I think all pies have an animal ingredient added to them that's why they're so sweet. Thanks, Ginny."

Ginny smiled, everyone was used to Luna's strange words from time to time.

Hermione took a bite of the apple pie and heard Harry say, "Hermione, have you been to the rebuilding of the King's Cross station entrance? Percy said they've been busy for days."

"You know what happened in King's Cross?" Hermione had been left out of the job, which had been frustrating to her.

Harry stuffed a mouthful of the pie into his mouth, "Yeah, there were a few wizards dueling on platform nine and three quarters on Sunday night, and they accidentally blew up the entrance, and the Aurors worked overtime day and night to clear King's Cross The situation at the station has stabilized, although the newspaper didn't report it, but Percy and the others are busy to erase so many Muggle memories."

"Why did you keep this matter from me?" Hermione couldn't figure it out.

Luna asked, "Who else wasn't involved in this work?"

"Malfoy." Hermione held her head in thought, she was sure Percy would have nothing to hide from her.Was Malfoy somehow involved with the wizards present?Maybe that's why Malfoy seemed to be resting so little.

"Maybe Malfoy knows one of the wizards, and the Ministry of Magic is afraid that he will be too sad to know the news of his friend's death." Luna picked up the pumpkin juice.

Harry went on to say, "Someone used the Unforgivable Curse in the duel that day, maybe a former Death Eater."

"Harry!" Hermione immediately stopped Harry, who always thought of Malfoy too badly.Hermione felt that Luna seemed to be looking at her, and she paused before speaking. "You are innocent until proven guilty, Harry, this is an age of peace, if we don't treat those who turn from the dark to the light with fairness, then what is the difference from discriminating against non-pure blood wizards?"

"Hermione, take it easy, you know Harry didn't mean it," Luna gently shook Hermione's hand, "have some pumpkin juice."

Ginny immediately pushed the pumpkin juice in Hermione's direction so Harry and Hermione could not argue.

The remaining half of the meal passed happily while Ginny shared interesting stories about the Charlie Cannons team. After the meal, Ginny asked Luna and Hermione to sit downstairs, and she and Harry went to the kitchen to cook for everyone. Bring some margaritas to drink.

After Hermione and Luna sat down on the carpet around the fire, Luna asked Hermione without any surprise. "Do you know the answer to that Malfoy question?"

"I'm not sure, Luna." Hermione rubbed the corner of the shirt in her hands annoyedly, "One night, we went on a mission together, and Malfoy was injured, and when I was bandaging him, he smelled my hair , but then I asked him why he did it, and he denied it. And he said I was his enemy."

"I think sometimes we say things we don't really mean." Luna turned her pale eyes to hers.

Hermione asked, "How do you know what a person is really thinking?"

"This is a complicated question." Luna tilted her head. "Maybe start by watching what he does."

"Malfoy seems to want to ask me out to lunch, and Agnes in our office heard him say it, and he refused when I asked him." Hermione recalled the unpleasant conversation with Malfoy this afternoon, she He frowned again. "He said some really bad things, Malfoy said some things that disrespected my friendship with Harry."

"Maybe he's jealous of your proximity to Harry," Luna said simply.

Hermione heard Harry and Ginny's footsteps coming up the stairs, she said. "I don't want Harry and Ron to know about Malfoy, can you keep it a secret for me?"

"I will, Hermione, but I think you should be brave," Luna said.

Hermione shook her head, "I don't want to know if Malfoy really likes me."

Luna expressed her point of view with a disapproving look, and just when Hermione thought she wouldn't say anything, Luna spoke again. "You talk too much about Malfoy, Hermione, and I think you have feelings for him."

"That's just because we work together..." Hermione retorted weakly, but Harry and Ginny had already walked over with two glasses of margaritas each, and she and Luna stood up quickly to take the glasses.This topic ends here.

Hermione found out with a headache that the subsequent fireside chat was still inseparable from Draco Malfoy. On the one hand, it was Harry's habitual guessing about Malfoy, on the other hand, Merlin knew why.

Harry mentioned when he testified for Malfoy in court at the request of Narcissa Malfoy after the war, "I told the court that Malfoy didn't really do anything to Dumbledore in the observatory, and now I think about it , Malfoy has always been a coward, I remember the three of us in the first grade were punished to go to the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid to find unicorns together with Malfoy, Malfoy was frightened by a cloak, I ran away before I recovered Gone."

Hermione had to admit that drunk Harry was meaner, and she kind of thought he had been friends with Ron for too long.

Thank goodness Luna talked about her plans to go to Romania.

The drunk Harry started rambling again, "Ron is there too, dragons really make him uncomfortable! If only Hagrid went, Hagrid wants to raise a dragon the most. The first time we met He told me that he wanted to raise a dragon. Hermione, do you remember that in Hagrid's hut, when Noble was born, he coughed up little fireballs that burned Hagrid's beard .”

"Really? Dragons are really interesting creatures!" Luna said excitedly. "I can't wait to go to Romania!"

Ginny felt a little helpless towards Harry, and she whispered in Hermione's ear. "He hasn't relaxed for a long time. Auror work never gives people a little breathing space."

"It's not hard to imagine." Hermione and Ginny clinked glasses. "Poor Ron couldn't even survive the first year of training. Harry has only been working for half a year now, and it will take him a long time to get used to it."

"Ron! Ron!" Harry called Ron's name.

Luna also raised her glass to the air, "Cheers!"

Ginny summoned the empty shaker with her wand, and it was clear everyone had had enough.Hermione left Luna to spend the night at 12 Grimmauld Place, and she chose to floo back to her apartment.

Someone said that the quiet at night is more conducive to people's thinking. When Hermione stared at a small bump on the ceiling in a daze at three o'clock in the morning, she recalled every time she got along with Malfoy in the Reversal Incident Team.

She clearly remembered the gray striped suit and silk shirt that Malfoy wore on the first day in Percy's office. More and more fragments of memories flooded into her mind along with the alcohol, and Hermione suddenly realized that she paid too much attention to Malfoy.

Today is the early morning of August NO.16, and she and Malfoy have worked together for twelve days.a very short time.

Malfoy is like the licorice candy Hermione found in the drawer, although it bites, it is sweet in the mouth.

At the same time, in Malfoy Manor, Draco Malfoy, who once again saw the magic flower in the hair of the brown-haired witch in his dream, woke up in the middle of the night again, looked at the ceiling and knew that the morning sun had climbed up. It was only when he hung the curtain of the bed that he was caught up by the belated sleepiness.

At the moment before his brain sank, Malfoy decided to go to St. Mungo's Hospital tomorrow to prescribe some calming potions, and maybe see if there was anything strange about the wound on his head that the drunk old Digory left , so that he could not sleep well for five days in a row.
