Chapter 702 The Affected Hermione

"this……"

Sean sat back on the bed, feeling a small shock to his world.

What is this?

Isn’t it all a joke that Orange is so popular...

Glancing at Sean, Stephanie said calmly: "That's not the key."

"Isn't this the key?!"

Seeing his fuss, the silver-haired girl put down her tea cup and stood up. She grabbed Sean's hand: "How does it feel?"

Sean felt it for a moment, then blinked innocently.

Stephanie waved her hand lightly, then continued: "What now?"

Sean's hand had just been withdrawn and pressed down again. As a result, he was surprised to find that his hand seemed to be pressed against a transparent wall. Moreover, his keen magic perception told him that if he continued to go deeper, There will be a powerful spell attack.

Sean looked at Stephanie in surprise, who pursed her lips: "Is this... my defense mechanism?"

She waved her hand again, obviously dispelling her defense against Sean.

The resistance and warning that Sean felt just now disappeared all of a sudden.

"How did you do this?" Sean was amazed. "Whether it was you switching, um, your defense mechanism? Or the moment the magic took effect, I didn't feel the flow of magic."

Based on Sean's perception, if it is a defensive or trap-type magic spell, no matter how well hidden it is, there will always be a time for the spell to take effect from being triggered to taking effect, and this short time is enough for him to react. Coming over - but he didn't notice any of Stephanie's spell.

If this was a battlefield where magic spells were flying everywhere, and the flow of magic power was huge and messy, he might not be able to detect it. With only two people together, and the target of the magic spell was still himself, how could he not notice it?

Magic item? Sean has never seen such high-end magic props.

Stephanie’s magical physique? The two of them already knew each other very well, both mentally and physically - not to mention the magical physique. During the chat between the two afterwards, Stephanie basically told Sean her whole life.

Sean could hardly wait for Stephanie's answer.

The silver-haired girl smiled faintly: "You are still so curious about unknown magic."

"Of course - magic? Isn't this your constitution?" Sean asked curiously.

Stephanie shook her head: "No, this is my magic spell - to be precise, I combined the magic spell with a magic prop."

"How to do it? It is true that magic spells and magic props can be combined, but I am also familiar with the flow of magic power in magic props..."

Under Sean's doubtful gaze, Stephanie took out her wand - a light blue, straight wand with a sharp tip.

"Magic wand..." Sean was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

As Ollivander's granddaughter, Stephanie has an enviable talent for wand making and modification. He knew that Stephanie's wand and all the materials had come from her experienced and discerning grandfather, but the actual production was completed by herself, who was only ten years old at the time.

Moreover, as she grew up, Stephanie, who did not show interest in too many things, has always maintained a good enthusiasm for wands. She learned various wand-making knowledge from her grandfather and what she learned from ancient books. Content, constantly transforming your wand.

Therefore, her wand appears to be completely different from the others - this wand may not be as powerful as the Elder Wand, but it is definitely the most suitable for Stephanie, and only Stephanie herself can use it.

She also mentioned the wand to Sean and asked if she wanted her to help transform the wand. However, Sean's current strength no longer requires the use of ordinary wands, and he himself also gained the ability to transform wands through the system, so The two never spoke about the wand again.

Stephanie explained softly: "My magic power is not very large. My advantage lies in my proficiency in magic spells and mastering enough rare magic spells. At the same time, my magic power flows faster. So when I started learning magic, I The idea came up - to enhance my strength through the wand. Since the first grade, I have transformed my wand, and at the same time, I have continued to nourish my wand with my magic power..."

Following her words, the light blue wand with a needle-like tip began to circle around Stephanie like an elf that understood human nature.

"My various abilities are all reflected in my wand. Moreover, other people's wands are basically used as media, while my wand also has the function of 'storage' - so, magic wands such as defense, warning, attack, etc. are all used as media." The spell is stored on my wand, and because my magic power is always being nourished, it does not require my own reaction. It will also show its capabilities when I need it - some are similar to magic props, but the wand's The way magic is stored and cast is different from common magic props, even you can't notice it, because every wizard carries a wand with him."

"So that's it -" Sean couldn't help but admire, "You are really a genius..."

"Thank you." Stephanie said calmly, and then she looked at Sean, "This is where my defense mechanism comes from. At the same time, the function of the defense mechanism is also related to me - if the defense mechanism is divided into several layers, The most superficial thing is that if someone tries to attack me, touch me, etc., they will be directly attacked. At the same time, my wand will wake me up for situations where I may faint, have my soul taken away, etc. Then there are the ordinary situations. The wizards I am more familiar with will not touch my wand with their normal behavior. Then there are the wizards I have a better relationship with, such as Daisy, Hermione, Professor McGonagall, and my grandfather."

As she said that, she looked at Sean and smiled slightly: "Finally, there are people I will never resist, because I am sure those people will never hurt me - using 'those people' to describe it is not accurate enough. , for now, you are the only one who will not trigger all of my wand's defense mechanisms."

There was a hint of warmth in Sean's heart, and he couldn't help but pull the girl into his arms.

Stroking Stephanie's long hair, he whispered: "Wand Friend made a right decision - heh, what do you mean?"

Stephanie enjoyed his touch and replied: "Well, it's just what you think - I have magic materials embedded in the wand, and there is magic material in it that can sense my own state. When I am in an unconscious state , the defense will be tighter. Normally, when someone other than you touches me, the wand will automatically defend and start to wake me up."

"Then...Hermione?" Sean's expression suddenly became strange.

Stephanie raised her head with a calm face, and then punched Sean in the chest mercilessly: "Even if the target is a woman, I will not allow you to question my exclusive devotion to you."

"I just want the atmosphere to be less suspenseful..." Sean knew he was wrong and smiled.

Fortunately, Stephanie is not a girl who likes to worry about this. She lay back in Sean's arms: "Hermione is a familiar friend of mine, so normally, what happened last night was that she slept with a big brick in her arms. After a sleep... However, we almost had a super-friendship. With the wand and trustworthy people around me, I was angry and drinking with Hermione, but the situation was beyond my expectations."

Sean wondered: "Could it be that you two have become too familiar recently?"

Stephanie shook her head and said calmly: "Hermione is a trustworthy good friend, but this does not affect me from treating her as a love rival. Moreover, I have not experienced enough things with her to have the same relationship as you. ——Unless I have experienced many lives and deaths side by side with her, in that case, even if I am a love rival, I will open all of myself to her, and my wand will be defenseless against her."

"That?" Sean suddenly realized that there was something wrong hidden in this.

Stephanie turned around, put her hand on Sean's heart, and a faint magic flowed out: "Is there any difference?"

Sean closed his eyes and felt it carefully before shaking his head.

"You have said so, which proves that my magic power has not changed. This is also consistent with my own test results - because too many things related to the timeline have happened recently, I have thought about the related possibilities."

"Perhaps in a certain timeline, Hermione and I have a very close relationship. As I said, we have experienced many lives and deaths side by side. Naturally, my wand will not react to her - and the timeline may be in It secretly had an influence and affected my current magic. My wand and my magic are from the same source, so it completely accepted Hermione."

"However, it has now been proven that my magic power has not changed at all, which means there is only one possibility -"

Stephanie looked at Sean, her delicate brows showing some seriousness on her always calm face: "Something has changed in Hermione - do you remember what happened at the end of last school year?"

Sean's expression also became serious.

Originally, he found another ring on the island in the middle of the lake where Grindelwald was hiding, and that ring came from Sean in Grindelwald's previous timeline.

The information from another time cannot be viewed until the storm of time subsides, so Sean left it until the end, waiting until the two Grindelwalds completely "become one" and the will of the world is no longer watching, before he is ready. Check out the condition of that ring.

However, the ring disappeared.

Hermione said that she always felt that there was a feeling in the dark guiding her to steal the ring, but she did not do so.

In the end, this matter could not be investigated clearly, and the matter of the missing ring could only be left undisturbed.

Now, Stephanie mentioned it again, which also made Sean wary.

"Hermione was influenced by Hermione from another timeline? Moreover, this secret influence has begun to take effect subtly... So, she had a desire for my ring before, and your wand had no effect on her. Undefended.”

Stephanie nodded: "At present, this is the only possibility - there are almost no people in the world who can completely affect my wand. Even if there are extremely powerful wizards who can do it, is it just to let Hermione and I get along? ?”

"This is a cold joke - well, at least you are starting to have a sense of humor." Sean smiled helplessly.

Stephanie was right...that meant Hermione must have been affected.

but……

Sean thought for a long time and hesitated: "But that kind of influence is not necessarily negative..."

"You can't guarantee this," Stephanie said calmly. "The investigation still needs to be investigated, and it is obvious that Hermione herself does not know the impact. Regardless of whether the impact is positive or negative, the whole story must be understood. ——In addition, the ring you are missing may be with Hermione, but I guess she doesn't even know it."

"This is indeed the case..."

As he said that, Sean's pupils suddenly shrank: "Hiss—I suddenly remembered something. The birthday gift Hermione gave me yesterday also mysteriously disappeared..."

Stephanie thought for a moment: "Not many people came into contact with you when you were drunk. Your things were only kept in the ring. The only people who were familiar with the spells were me, Hermione and Daisy - I remembered that at that time, I and I When Hermione was half drunk, she left briefly for a while, and now that I think about it, she might have gone to get that gift."

Sean was puzzled: "But why...if Hermione was really being secretly influenced by herself in another timeline, why did she take away my ring and why did she take away the gift she gave me? …”

Stephanie said: "We can only do useless thinking here. Obviously, Hermione is the one who knows best."

"Tsk...it's troublesome...should we ask Hermione to explain it directly?"

Stephanie shook her head: "It's not appropriate, because we don't know what kind of impact the Hermione in the other timeline will have, and why these things happen... I think we need to hide it from the 'other Hermione' .”

"This is difficult..." Sean shook his head helplessly, "You can almost regard the influence of the timeline as an interaction on the soul. It is difficult for an outsider to contact the soul and hide it from another existence in the soul. Ascend to heaven.”

"No, we have a way... to be precise, you have a way." Stephanie suddenly stood up.

"I?"

——

There are many classrooms in Hogwarts Castle, and a distressed sigh suddenly came from one of the empty classrooms.

The girl wearing a thick cotton coat was resting her chin on the window sill. She opened the window a little and let the rain and snow outside hit her face. It seemed that this was the only way to calm down her emotions.

When she thought about the ridiculous things that happened last night, Hermione wanted to hit her head on the window sill and die.

Apart from being outrageous, she didn't know how to describe what happened - and, was this considered cheating on Sean?

No, I have no definite relationship with him...

However, I still felt bad.

If I had known better, I wouldn’t have drank that wine...

Thinking of the wine she drank yesterday, Hermione wished she could turn back time and slap herself twice.

"I must be crazy..." the girl sobbed.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone
