Chapter 609 Persuasion and Determination

Word of the Flobber caterpillars en masse climbing up the Whomping Willow to cocoon them had spread long before Maca returned. When those anxious crises subsided over time, such seemingly dispensable anecdotes became indispensable seasonings for young wizards in their busy study life.

If in normal times, someone like Luna who was genuinely curious about some weird biological phenomena, would have left homework and rushed over to observe them non-stop.

However, this time Luna didn't immediately go to admire the spectacle, but went to the school library immediately after class.

"Hermione?"

If you want to find someone in the huge Hogwarts Castle, it is actually not easy. Even if everyone has the same schedule every day, and when and where will be basically determined by the class schedule, it is still not easy to find.

But if you want to find Miss Hermione Granger, go to the library! This idea is right. Even though she might not be there at the time, as long as you wait patiently for a short while, she will most likely appear in your line of sight with her big schoolbag straddling her shoulders and her chin slightly raised as usual.

When Luna came to the door of the library with brisk steps and a rhythm, she saw Hermione who was sitting at the reading table and writing hard with all kinds of textbooks and materials.

That was her best friend recently. Since having this friend, Luna's mood has become more and more cheerful. Well, although she didn't know why Hermione took the initiative to come and befriend her that day, what did it matter? It was enough for her to understand that Hermione was not malicious.

"Oh... Luna?"

The quill in Hermione's hand paused, she raised her head, smiled and nodded to Luna who was walking towards her.

"Hermione, it's time for dinner in a while, do you want to go with me today?" Luna pulled out the armchair next to her and sat down gently, "I hope today's dessert is milk with a peach base." crisp."

"Really?" Hermione lowered her head and wrote a few more strokes, then echoed casually, "That sounds good."

Whether it's Hermione or Luna, everyone is growing up with each passing year. But even though these two little girls who could only be described as "cute" in the past have now become slim girls, the changes can be said to be quite huge, but their personalities are as clear as they are still in the past.

Especially Luna, her ethereal voice still has a purity that seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts, like the morning dewdrops dripping into a clear pool, crisp and clear.

The more time she spends with Luna, the more Hermione can feel that there is always an indescribable tranquility when she is with this girl. She believed that even though Hogwarts was still faltering under the threat of Voldemort, as long as she was with Luna, she could easily wash away her anxiety.

Just as Hermione was looking at Luna's pale blonde hair and thinking casually, Luna looked over at her with those quiet gray eyes.

"Hermione, why didn't you say everything you wanted to say when we went to find Maca today?"

Upstairs in the Three Broomsticks bar that day, the two of them actually talked a lot. And as the topic gradually deepened,

Hermione finally told Luna some thoughts.

Most of these thoughts are different, pointing to various aspects, but in the final analysis, they are basically related to Maca. In fact, the issue of employment and course selection they mentioned today comes from one of those series of ideas.

But there are some decisions that are difficult to say without adequate preparation. Especially Hermione, a girl like her who is more sensible, is more likely to be stubborn because of some trivial issues.

"Wait a little longer...wait a little longer..." She pursed her lips slightly, shook her head and said, "I'm not ready yet, and...you know, it's really hard..."

"Hermione," Luna suddenly stretched out her palm, and gently covered Hermione's hand holding the quill, "You've always been smart, if it's you, you can definitely do it. You can ask others, Everyone will tell you that."

"Oh, thanks...but..."

"I will also be with you, we can work hard together." Luna took her hand and said, "Besides, we still have Maca, he is so powerful, he will definitely help us solve many problems. As long as your ideas are completed Now, everyone will be able to live without any worries..."

"Well..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Yes, you are right, I was too careful this time... Although caution is always necessary, courage is also indispensable. When it’s time to try, every second counts to start early!”

"Wisdom, courage, shrewdness and hard work, Hogwarts is the one who does everything well." Luna still held Hermione's hand, sending her a hint of warm encouragement, but those eyes were And drifted elsewhere in a trance.

...

With Hermione's academic performance, of course, it is enough for her to occasionally put aside her homework and chat with others casually. But for Harry and Ron, the most important thing right now is homework and exercises.

At this moment, the two of them were facing piles of books and parchment scrolls in the common room, working hard for the exam.

As for what Fred and George had just said about "the Whomping Willow is covered with white cocoons, which are actually full of Flobber caterpillars", they had no time to think about it.

In a little while, it will be Easter break, the last holiday of the school year. And by then, there will be only six short weeks until the end of the term.

The O.W.Ls exam can be said to be imminent.

However, they discovered at this time that the history of magic of both of them was still fluctuating between passing and failing, and maybe they would face the miserable reality of failing a subject, making up a make-up exam, or even repeating a grade.

In normal times, the study life at Hogwarts is actually quite relaxed, but correspondingly, the exams will be extraordinarily strict. Each failed subject has one and only one chance to make up the exam. If it is not passed, it will inevitably lead to repeating the grade.

I believe that no matter which student you are, you don't want to be treated as juniors and juniors by your classmates who enrolled in the same year. It would be too bad if you really want to become like that!

It's a pity, probably because both of them put too much energy into Voldemort's attack before, so that in the past period of time, they practiced hard just to improve their duel strength, and gradually fell behind. Many purely written courses.

What's worse, those things need to be recited!

"Harry, I think I'm done..." Ron said in a low voice, "I didn't think there was any problem before, but now I see such a thick "History of Magic", I know I'm done."

"Stop talking nonsense," Harry said weakly, without even raising his head, just staring at the book, "Stop worrying about face for a while, let's go beg Hermione together! If it's just memorizing notes, Maybe the two of us can still be saved..."

"What is face? Is it the staple food for today's dinner?" Ron flipped the pages of the book, still muttering words in his mouth, "Add some sweet sauce, maybe it tastes good..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Harry said angrily.

Ron curled his lips, and quickly turned a few pages, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

"If I fail my exam, my mother will have to kill me!" he screamed. "Merlin! The Gryffindor prefects need to make up the exam. What will others think? Maybe I will repeat the grade." ……Oh……"

"Don't worry! Too many things happened this semester, and you basically haven't done what a prefect should do. As long as you don't mention it yourself, few people will remember that you are actually a prefect..." Harry waved He waved his hand and said, "Just like me, I only remembered after hearing you say that."

"Oh..." Ron couldn't help crying when he heard the words, "Don't make it so clear, it's too cruel."

Right now, everyone has rushed to the auditorium, and there are not many people left in the common room. It was only Harry and Ron, the brothers and sisters, who were worried about their test scores, and they faintly seemed to have lost their appetite.

Of course, it wasn't for this reason that they didn't go to the auditorium to eat with everyone. After all, no matter how anxious they were, there were still more than two months left, and they still had time to fill their stomachs.

"Oh, so... why hasn't Hermione come back?"

Ron closed the book in his hand with a snap, stood up and glanced at the door opening, apparently impatient to wait.

"Sit down! Didn't she say that she would go back to the lounge first? Since she said so, she will definitely come back. We just need to wait."

Harry wrote a few more words on the parchment in front of him, then dropped the quill into the ink bottle, picked up the parchment and blew on it.

It was at that moment before the words were finished that the fat lady's portrait opened gently.

"Are you in a hurry? Sorry, I was delayed by something just now..."

It was Hermione who came in, and she hurried past the two of them, and walked straight to the stairs leading to the girls' dormitory.

"Since you've waited until now, you guys should wait a little longer!" She said casually as she walked quickly, "I'll put down my schoolbag and come down soon..."

In the eyes of Ron and Harry, she blew through the common room like a gust of wind, and disappeared at the stairs in a blink of an eye, leaving only the two of them staring blankly in place.
