Chapter 1286 Hermione's Present and Future

Hermione has always been a confident and stubborn girl.

Oh no, this sentence may be reversed - maybe this Miss Granger is actually just a girl who has been stubbornly maintaining her self-confidence.

There may be many so-called "geniuses" in this world, but what Maca said back then was right, at least neither he nor Hermione was one of them.

Therefore, when encountering questions in her studies, she would always go to the library to look up information; therefore, when encountering various problems, she would always try her best to try to solve them.

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

However, what was hidden under the self-confidence she built up desperately 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 Boggart was actually Professor McGonagall saying that she failed all the exams. What she was afraid of was the moment when the self-confidence that she worked so hard to support suddenly collapsed.

But this time, after making a lot of preparations and following Maca out of St. Mungo's with full confidence, Haierbo's appearance, the blockade of the retreat, and Luna's life shattered her confidence after all.

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 Hai Erbo intended to use to blackmail Maca.

Therefore, the facts proved that Luna, who obviously had a deep affection for Maca in her heart, but kept it hidden in her heart and did not break her heart, was correct.

From this point of view, she undoubtedly failed.

However, just like this, in fact, it is not enough to completely lose confidence in her who is already growing up. Because even if your confidence is broken, you can still "stick it back together" with your own belief and hard work.

But correspondingly, if a human life is broken...can it still be "glued together"?

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

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

Like Luna, she chose to stay in this position looking at Maca's back from a distance, waiting silently for Maca's return... no longer trying to foolishly venture forward like before.

Unfortunately, Hermione Granger is still Hermione Granger after all. During the time spent by Luna's bedside, she gradually became aware of the restlessness in her heart.

As she had realized earlier, not everyone can learn Luna's silent watch.

But then again, she and Luna are equivalent to two opposite extremes. If she wants to do like Luna, it would be strange if she can adapt.

Therefore, when Hermione found out that Delphi hadn't been able to fall asleep tonight, she suddenly wanted to find a place to talk to him.

Yes, her initial thoughts were indeed just to find someone to chat with and relieve the depression in her heart.

But when Hermione and Delphi were pacing forward in the corridor, one after the other, she suddenly thought of the various interactions and conversations between Delphi and Maca.

After thinking that the other party might have known Maca a long time ago,

Hermione immediately hoped to take this opportunity to learn about Maca's past from the other party.

For many people, Maca's life before school was obviously a blank. Even with her familiarity with Maca, she never took the initiative to ask about those extremely personal past events.

Who let Maca show that he is an orphan early? Even though he himself didn't seem to mind, everyone subconsciously avoided those topics from then on.

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

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

Hermione was excited when she heard that Delphi stopped talking, obviously she had finished most of the "bedtime stories" her father had told her.

In fact, since these were all used by her father to lull her to sleep when she was a child, she basically didn't hear all the stories. There was no follow-up story in the middle of the story like this, which made Hermione feel a little depressed.

"Really gone?"

"Unfortunately, there are really no more."

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

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

But probably because of her unknown identity, Hermione has never completely let go of her guard, and each conversation rarely exceeds three sentences. And even if they said a few more words sometimes, they were almost irrelevant topics.

But this time tonight, because of Maca, the person they cared about together, the two unknowingly let go of all unnecessary emotions and suspicions.

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

And after that, with her father running around, it was even more difficult for her to meet peers who could be friends.

Because of this, after coming to this initially peaceful era, the leisurely days at Hogwarts Castle especially made her linger.

There, she met Harry Potter, a young man who was completely different from the "hot-blooded bearded uncle" in her memory, and met the "brave and handsome uncle" Harry Potter who could summon a powerful griffin summoner in the future, but was still so low-key. Will Longbottom.

But before that, the first person who came to her to make friends was the "Sleeping Beauty" she had only seen in the exclusive ward of the Rebel headquarters—Miss Luna Lovegood.

That's right, that was exactly the person she was determined to kill after going back more than ten years in this adventure.

To be honest, after being in contact with Luna for such a long time, Delphi has already deeply understood why his father is 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 hard to let go.

Because of this blond girl who speaks softly and has a pure and transparent heart, even she, who is also a woman, can't help but feel pity. For such an innocent and pure girl to lie on the hospital bed for the rest of her life, anyone with a conscience would probably feel heartache and uneasiness.

However, even though Delphi was once entangled, troubled, hesitant, and reluctant in her heart, but compared to her father's safety, she still chose the latter.

It is Maca who does not forget her daughter in the end of war and danger; it is Maca who protects her daughter with all her heart in crisis after crisis; in such a difficult environment, she still remembers to take time out to accompany her Her daughter's is Maca.

So when Maca took her to the small island in the sea of ​​Rowena, when she accidentally broke into the room that Maca said not to go in and met her biological father for the first time, she did not stop because of Voldemort from the beginning to the end. Shaken by the rhetoric of the remnant soul.

If there is a person who not only spares the enemy's child, but also treats her as carefully as his own daughter. Delphi didn't know or care what others would think, she only knew that she didn't need another father at all.

In this regard, even Maca would not think like Delphi, because he is really his biological father after all! He would probably at least hesitate.

That's why Maca felt that Delphi was indeed in some places similar to Voldemort...or in other words, she had a similarity with Tom Riddle.

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

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

But compared to the young girl now, the Ms. Granger she remembered was even more gentle...and paranoid.

Yes, in the future Hermione, there are indeed such two seemingly incompatible character traits.

Most of the time, she only works silently in the logistics area of ​​the Rebel Army headquarters, and treats people politely and gently. She is good at breaking spells, healing, building planning, and enlightening people... Among the rebels, she is as popular as Maca.

However, Delphi obviously heard many people mention that this Ms. Granger is also quite good in combat. Except for a few people such as father, bearded Potter, Mr. Blois, etc., he is almost not lost to anyone else.

However, she has never left the headquarters of the rebel army, and even the number of shots is surprisingly small. Even in the most critical moments on the front line several times, she just smiled and stayed in the headquarters very stubbornly, never going out once.

If she didn't have the popularity accumulated in the daily life, and many old friends who are also the main force of the rebel army to help her cover, it might be difficult for her to continue to maintain her image in the rebel army.

However, this girl who is about the same age as her now may be a lot less gentle than her in the future, but she also lacks that inexplicable paranoia.

When talking about his father's past just now, Delphi had carefully observed the Miss Granger in front of him. And what she felt from the other party, apart from the depression that was slightly similar to the future, seemed to be a trace of invisible anxiety.

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

"The future...is changing?"
