harry potter book of crimes

Hermione has always been a confident and stubborn girl.

Oh no, this sentence may be the opposite - maybe this Miss Granger is actually just a girl who stubbornly maintains her self-confidence.

There may be many so-called "geniuses" in this world, but Maka was right back then, at least he and Hermione were not one of them.

So when she encounters questions in her studies, she always goes to the library to look up information; so when she encounters various problems, she always tries her best to solve them.

So even when many of her classmates gave up comparing with Maka, she always wanted to catch up with Maka, and even looked forward to surpassing him one day.

However, what was hidden under the self-confidence that she worked so hard to build was actually a lack of security and a strong fear of failure.

That's right, just like the image of fear she revealed when she first met the Boggart, when Professor McGonagall said she failed all the exams. What she was afraid of was the sudden collapse of the self-confidence she had worked so hard to build up.

That moment.

But this time, after making a lot of preparations and confidently following Maka out of St. Mungo's, Herbo's appearance, the blockade of her retreat, and Luna's life finally shattered her confidence.

In the face of absolute strength, her preparations were of no use. On the contrary, because of her reckless confession in the past, she became the target that Haierbo intended to use to blackmail Maka.

Therefore, the facts prove that Luna, who clearly has a deep affection for Maka in her heart, but always hides it in her heart without revealing her feelings, is correct.

From this point of view, she undoubtedly failed.

However, this alone does not actually make her, who is already growing up, completely lose her confidence. Because even if her confidence is broken, she can still "stick it back together" with her own faith and hard work.

But correspondingly, if a person's life is broken... can it still be "glued back together"?

So in the final analysis, it was the death of Luna, who finally saved her life, that made her fully acknowledge her mistakes and failures for the first time in her life.

So, from the moment she realized Luna was dead, she decided to give up her unnecessary self-proof.

Like Luna, she chose to stay in this position looking at Maka's back from a distance, silently waiting for Maka's return... and no longer attempted to rush forward as foolishly as before.

Unfortunately, Hermione Granger was still Hermione Granger after all. During the time she spent with Luna at her bedside, she gradually became aware of the anxiety in her heart.

As she had realized earlier, not everyone could learn Luna's kind of silent watch.

But then again, she and Luna were on opposite ends of the spectrum, and it would be strange if she could adapt to it if she wanted to do what Luna did.

Therefore, when Hermione found that Delphi could not fall asleep tonight, she suddenly wanted to find a place to talk to him.

Yes, her initial thought was just to find someone to chat with and relieve her depression.

But when Hermione and Delphi walked together in the corridor, she suddenly thought of all the interactions and conversations between Delphi and Maka.

After thinking that the other party might have known Maka for a long time, Hermione immediately hoped to take this opportunity to learn about Maka's past from the other party.

To many people, Maka's life before entering school was obviously a blank. Even with her familiarity with Maka, she had never taken the initiative to ask about those extremely personal past events.

Who made Maka reveal that he was an orphan so early? Even though he didn't seem to mind, everyone subconsciously avoided those topics from then on.

Now, Hermione finally learned a little about Maka's past from Delphi, a rare insider, and for a moment she forgot her inner anxiety.

"...Well, that's all I know about Mr. McClain's past. If you want to know more, you might as well ask him yourself!"

Hermione was getting excited when she saw Delphi stop talking, apparently having finished most of the "bedtime stories" her father had told her.

In fact, since this was what her father used to coax her to sleep when she was a child, she basically didn't hear all the stories. There was no follow-up story halfway through, which made Hermione feel a little depressed.

.

"Really no more?"

"It's a pity, there really is no more."

If Delphi remembered correctly, this was the first time Hermione had chatted with herself for such a long time.

You know, when she was at Hogwarts, she gradually made friends with many people, and she would often go to class with Luna and Hermione.

But probably because of her unknown identity, Hermione has never completely let down her guard against her. Each conversation rarely exceeds three sentences. And even if she sometimes says a few more words, they are almost always insignificant.

topic.

But this time tonight, because of Maka, the person they care about together, the two of them unknowingly put aside all kinds of unnecessary emotions and suspicions.

To be honest, Delphi didn't have many friends since she was a child - even at the beginning at Chateau Blois, those sisters who took care of her and loved her were more like a group of elders worthy of her respect.

After that, as her father traveled around, it was naturally more difficult for her to meet anyone of the same age who could become friends.

Because of this, after coming to this initially peaceful era, she particularly lingered over the leisurely days at Hogwarts Castle.

There, she met Harry Potter, a boy who was completely different from the "hot-blooded bearded uncle" in her memory, and met the "brave and handsome uncle" Nathan, who could summon the powerful Griffin Summoning God in the future, but was still so low-key.

Will Longbottom.

But before that, the first person who took the initiative to come to her to make friends was the "Sleeping Beauty" she had only seen in the exclusive ward at the Resistance Headquarters - Miss Luna Lovegood.

Yes, that was exactly the person she had gone back more than ten years in this adventure and was determined to kill.

To be honest, after such a long period of contact with Luna, Delphi has deeply understood why his father was willing to be seriously injured for this woman. I am afraid that this has gone beyond the so-called love, and is a kind of "unbearable" that is difficult to let go.

”.

Because of this blond girl with a soft and erratic voice and a pure and transparent heart, even women like her can't help but feel pity for her. Let such an innocent and pure girl lie on the hospital bed like that for the rest of her life.

Anyone with a conscience will probably feel heartache and uneasiness.

However, even Delphi had been entangled in her heart, distressed, hesitant, and reluctant to give up, but compared to her father's safety, she still chose the latter.

It was Maka who never forgot her daughter in the crisis-ridden world. It was Maka who protected her daughter with all her heart in crisis after crisis. In such a difficult environment, she still remembered to always take time to accompany her.

Her daughter's is still Maka.

So when Maka took her to Rowena's island in the sea, and when she accidentally broke into the room that Maka said not to go in and met her biological father for the first time, she never had any reason to worry about Voldemort from the beginning to the end.

The remnant soul was shaken by his sweet words.

If there was a person who not only spared the enemy's child, but also treated her as his own daughter. Delphi didn't know what others would think and didn't care. She only knew that she didn't need another father at all.

.

In this regard, in fact, even Maka would not think as much as Delphi, because after all, he is really his biological father! He would probably at least hesitate.

That's why Maka felt that Delphi was indeed similar to Voldemort in some places...or, in other words, to Tom Riddle.

Of course, in addition to the series of friends mentioned just now, including Luna, Delphi also met the Hermione Granger in front of her.

In fact, she and the future "Ms. Granger" also knew each other during the war-torn era that Delphi experienced.

But compared to the current girl, the Ms. Granger in her memory was even more gentle...and paranoid.

Yes, the future Hermione does have two seemingly completely incompatible personality traits.

Most of the time, she only works silently in the logistics area of ​​the resistance headquarters, and she is polite and gentle in dealing with others. She is good at breaking spells, healing, construction planning, and enlightening people... Among the resistance, she is no less powerful than

Maca's popularity.

However, Delphi had clearly heard many people mention that Ms. Granger was also very good at fighting. Except for a few people such as her father, the bearded Potter, and Mr. Blois, almost no one

Lost to anyone else.

But unfortunately, she had never left the headquarters of the resistance army, and even the number of times she took action was surprisingly few. Even at the most critical moments on the front line, she just smiled and stayed at the headquarters extremely stubbornly.

Never been out.

Without the popularity she has accumulated in daily life and the many old friends who are also the main force of the resistance to help her cover up, it may be difficult for her to continue to maintain her image in the resistance.

However, the girl who is about the same age as herself now may be a lot less gentle than she will be in the future, but she is also less inexplicable and paranoid.

When she was talking about her father's past, Delphi had carefully observed the Miss Granger in front of her. And what she felt from her, besides the depression that was slightly similar to the future, seemed to be that there was something else.

A hint of invisible anxiety.

Suddenly, Delphi suddenly recalled the abnormality she had noticed in the ward before.

"The future...is changing?" (To be continued)
