HP Nocturne and Evening Bell

Chapter 26

The words in the dark made Hermione uneasy. She walked back to the dungeon, stared at her left hand, and found nothing unusual.Is the Sethlak family really related to the Malfoy family?Can Abraxas Malfoy really see his own tattoo?Hermione still felt that it was unlikely, but she took Tom's reminder to heart, and every time she was in the auditorium, she could always find Malfoy staring at her thoughtfully from time to time.When meeting Hermione's eyes, he didn't panic, but showed an inexplicable smile, which made Hermione turn her head away in discomfort.

What a strange kid.Hermione grumbled inwardly.

However, apart from the occasional eye contact in the hall, she had never met Malfoy anywhere else, and even Tom was always missing, except for the fleeting figure in the corridor, he was almost nowhere to be found.

"I'm really sorry, Marquez insisted that I go to his tavern to get together today, you know we have already agreed on a time, I didn't expect there will be a potions class for the first grade today, can you help me with the class Is it? I know it won't trouble you." Horace stood in the potions office with a big smile on his face.

"Okay." Hermione nodded.

"This is the progress of class and today's content." Horace had already put on his coat, he walked to the door, turned his head and added, "By the way, the colleges attending class today are Gryffindor and Slytherin, they are a group of A smart kid, but there may be some small conflicts, you can deal with things in the academy."

Slytherin.Hermione didn't want to see Tom in class, what a weird thing it was to be teaching the Dark Lord in class.She was even a little worried in her heart whether her performance would make Tom look down upon her. What if he thought her speech was not good?Besides, he has already learned these contents, and he must feel very boring listening to the repetitive knowledge.

Bite the bullet, she rolled up her hair, and put on a large black robe like Professor Snape. At a certain moment, she felt that she understood Professor Snape a little bit. It was like some special agreement. The potions classroom wore a black robe with tumbling sleeves, which had a unique charm.

Oh, wake up, Hermione stopped her associations with Professor Snape, took a deep breath, and walked into the Potions class.

"Students, I will take the place of Professor Slughorn in class today. According to the professor's progress, we need to learn several usages and production methods of Bai Xian. Please keep quiet and listen carefully." Hermione looked serious, and she I feel like a second Professor McGonagall.

It was really quiet in the classroom. The young wizards sat upright, no one dared to desert, and everyone took notes seriously with quill pens in their hands.

Hermione sighed secretly.She didn't intend to make the classroom atmosphere so serious. What she admired most was Professor Lupine's entertaining and entertaining way of teaching.But she was still too nervous, so nervous that she could only force herself to utter words one by one like a machine gun.

"Miss Granger?" A voice interrupted her mechanical speech.

"Mr. Malfoy, what's your question?" Malfoy was raising his arms at this moment, with a signature smug smile on his face.

"Miss Granger, you just said that Bai Xian's hemostatic effect is very good, but it doesn't leave any vivid impression on me at all. I think we can find a test product to test, so that everyone can be more impressed?"

"Thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Malfoy. So, do you have any good subjects?" Hermione smiled patiently.

"I think Gordon Crabbe is very suitable." There was muffled laughter from the crowd.The fat boy next to Malfoy, who was eating with his head down, stood up, staring at Hermione with round eyes, completely bewildered.

"Mr. Malfoy, I really appreciate your brave spirit of proposing, but I think I have a better subject." Hermione approached Malfoy with a smile.

"who is it?"

"It's you, Mr. Malfoy. If you can't personally experience the healing effects of white meat, you won't be able to deeply understand this knowledge. In addition, in order to prove the effectiveness of the teaching method you proposed, I think you will be happy to dismiss the get out of class." Then write a six-inch paper to prove it."

As soon as the words were finished, Hermione took out her wand and pointed at Malfoy, a small wound appeared on his arm. Before Malfoy screamed, she immediately poured a few drops of the white fresh potion on the wound, And dab it with your fingers.The wound that oozes blood just now returned to normal, clean and smooth.

The students were shocked by the immediate effect and exclaimed.

Malfoy opened his mouth to speak but stopped. Finally, he could only sit down and straighten his robes with his head bowed.

Hermione smiled triumphantly at Malfoy, turned and walked back to the podium.When she looked at the students in the audience again, she saw Tom's angry eyes.

why are you mad?Hermione felt that Tom was becoming more and more elusive, so she simply looked away from the area where Tom was sitting.The atmosphere in the classroom seemed to be activated by the farce of Malfoy just now. The students no longer sat upright, but raised their hands from time to time to ask their own questions.

"Miss Granger, can you explain what a half-dried Tiao Tiao root is? I've only seen fresh ones." A timid voice.

There was laughter again in the classroom, and a boy with curly hair yelled directly: "Hagrid, you are such an idiot!"

Hagrid?Hermione looked at the student who was speaking and couldn't help smiling. She even wanted to rush off the podium and give him a hug.It's Hagrid!His tall stature is very conspicuous among the students, and his messy hair looks like a bird's nest. At this time, he is holding the corner of his clothes, wriggling like a little girl, compared with his tall figure. It sounds ridiculous.

"Ruber Hagrid right? Thank you for your question. Semi-dry tiao tiao roots are cut tiao tiao roots that have been cut and dried until they are neither wet nor dry to the touch."

"What's dry or wet?" Hagrid didn't seem to fully understand.

"It's hard to describe it in words. It just so happens that I'm drying tiaotiao roots recently. If you're interested, come to the lab and have a look. You can experience it for yourself." Hermione answered patiently.

"Thank you, thank you." Hagrid sat down, looking as tall as anyone else standing up.

The class ended in an orderly manner, and Hermione lowered her head to tidy up the scattered materials on the desk.After tidying up and looking up, she realized that there were still people in the classroom.

"Tom?" Hermione was a little surprised, they hadn't spoken for a long time.That distant night when she first arrived at Hogwarts was like a dream, and Hermione wasn't even sure if Tom had paid her any attention since arriving here.

"You shouldn't provoke Malfoy." Tom stood in the back of the classroom and closed the classroom door.

Unexpectedly, the first sentence he uttered was a reproach.Hermione replied angrily, "I see."

"You're angry."

"I don't think I have time for that."

"You don't need to be angry, the Malfoy family controls the school board, they may make trouble for you, or even expel you directly."

"Perhaps it would be better for me to leave Hogwarts?"

"You like it here don't you?"

Hermione was speechless.Tom's consideration was right, she really didn't need to be quick.But she is her, let her watch others bully the weak, she just can't do it.

Tom seemed to have got the answer too. He sighed, put his schoolbag on the table, and walked towards Hermione: "Don't worry."

"what?"

Tom dropped the ramblings, and fell silent again.

Hermione stared at Tom in front of her. It had been a long time since she had looked at him carefully.He seemed to grow taller again, his black eyes glowed with an unknown luster, his curly black hair was plastered to his forehead, his chin became a little colder, his slender fingers slid across his curly hair, and touched the corner of his mouth delicately The arc finally stopped on Hermione's arm.

"You're still the same, nothing has changed, not even the curl of your hair." Tom also stared at Hermione.

Hermione's heart skipped a beat for no reason at Tom's words, she concealed her slightly flushed cheeks, ignored these minor discomforts, brushed the loose curly hair on her shoulders, and replied: "But it's also such a terrible thing , It’s like being sealed by time, I am immortal, watching the people around me leave one by one, but there is nothing I can do, and in the end I can only torture myself in the memory.”

"No, I won't let this happen." Tom's dark eyes swirled.

But you may be the culprit for making this happen.Hermione sighed inwardly.

"It's almost Christmas, are you going back?"

It's almost Christmas!Hermione lost track of time when she was so busy.In the past few months, she has been going back and forth between the dungeon, the greenhouse, the laboratory and the library, and even McGonagall's invitation can't be spared: "Are you going back? I want to go back and see how the Watson family is doing, West Wright still remembers its white fluffy ball."

"Cillet looked for you? I said why sometimes it disappears."

"It's very smart. It jumped directly onto my shoulder from the tree several times, scaring me half to death."

"It seems that it is closer to you, which is a pity."

"My history of keeping cats..." Probably older than your age, Hermione swallowed the last part of the sentence for some reason.

"Okay, then we will meet and leave together under the beech tree by the lake on the afternoon of the school-leaving deadline, and the students should have left by then." Tom suggested.

"Are you not doing the Hogwarts Express? That's probably the most comfortable mode of transportation in the wizarding world."

"Don't you have Hogsmeade's Portkey?" Tom interrupted Hermione's question, "Please don't ask me how I know."

"But traveling by portkey was really uncomfortable, and I almost threw up that day." Hermione thanked herself for not drinking much that day.

"I want to go back with you." Tom's words stunned Hermione.He broke out a sincere smile, and looked straight into Hermione's eyes with bottomless black eyes, "Hermione, I miss you so much."
