Chapter 969: Sinista's Smile

"...Like, it's really too similar, especially the back view."

Old Victor sat on the ground in a corner of the hall, holding his already empty flagon in his hand, and unconsciously rubbed it carefully.

To be honest, he doesn't want to recall that previous conversation now, not at all.

But no matter how much he tried to give up thinking, only the figure of Sinista still lingered leisurely in his mind, lingering for a long time.

In fact, old Victor also didn’t understand—don’t everyone say that time tends to dilute everything? Why has it been so long, but I still can't let go?

To this day, he can still clearly remember that night in Greenwich Park, that beautiful starry sky that was extremely rare in the "fog capital" London at that time.

And under the twinkling galaxy, the young he met the equally young and beautiful Aurelia—the innocent girl who almost changed most of his life.

He still remembered that Aurelia was wearing an ordinary felt trench coat and a plain wide-brimmed hat that night, no different from women of that era at that time.

But on the face under the brim of her hat, there is a purity that has long been seldom left in women who have experienced the wind and rain of the world.

After the old Victor saw the innocent face illuminated by the faintly discernible stars...he didn't pay attention, and just remembered it for the rest of his life.

Thinking about it now, in London, where the city was full of gray and fog, he was able to bathe in the starlight. Maybe that was the moment when he first came into contact with magic in his life?

"Sleep!"

Stuffing the empty wine jug in his hand into his arms, old Victor was about to shrink to the next floor on the floor to make do for another night, and let his sleep cleanse his uncontrollable thoughts by the way.

But at this moment, a sound of footsteps deliberately lightened suddenly came from the side door of the hall, making old Victor subconsciously turn his head to take a look.

Oh, it's the neat little girl.

He never thought that the other party was looking for him, so he just glanced over there, then folded his clothes on the floor and curled up.

But before he could close his eyes, he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and finally there was a pair of feet in front of him.

"Mr. Victor, I have something to tell you—about Professor Sinistra."

"Ok?"

Old Victor lay on the ground and didn't move much. He just turned his head slightly and looked up.

"What's up?"

His appearance seemed to be a little indifferent.

In fact, for old Victor, everything was over. After that Aurelia left back then, she returned to the magic world and spent the rest of her life with a wizard... and it is said that she lived happily.

What else can he say about this old man? After all, it's all over, and it's already too late to say anything.

So old Victor could only decide to let go of all his persistence so far, and go back to the Muggle world with his son when things are over, silently waiting for this boring life to end completely.

However, Hermione rushed to Old Victor all the way, so naturally she wouldn't give up her thoughts just because the old man's interest was fading.

"Teach her... I mean, Aurora Sinista, she's your daughter."

"My daughter?" Old Victor was slightly taken aback when he heard that, but quickly shook his head again, "Maybe...well, but forget it...what do you want to say?"

"Say she's your own daughter," Hermione said seriously, "I know what you're thinking, but the professor is lying to you—Sirius used to be a classmate with her, and he said the professor never After my father, I grew up with my mother!"

"Mr. Victor, do you understand? Professor Sinista never had a father in the magic world."

"never before--"

After listening to Hermione's words, old Victor repeated it in his heart blankly, and then got up from the ground with a single bone.

"Sinista...that's right! Sinista...why did she take her mother's surname?" He muttered to himself, "That is to say, when she left, she already had another child in her womb?"

After muttering emotionally for a while, the old Victor finally set his sights on Hermione again.

"Then...then why didn't she come to me after that? It's been so long...it's been so long, why..."

Looking at the confused old Victor in surprise, although Hermione really wanted to give him an answer, it was a pity that she couldn't.

"I don't know about that." She shook her head slightly, "If you want to know, why don't you go to the professor directly? I think only she can give you the answer."

"Find her... yes, I must go to her right away... my daughter, and I have a daughter!"

The old man wanted to leave in a hurry, but he turned around in a hurry after walking a few steps.

"Son, do you know where she is? Please tell me..."

Without a doubt, this was the most polite and polite side of him that Hermione had seen in a while - the old man could say "please"!

"Oh, I think the professor should be at..."

As she was talking, she suddenly felt a little inappropriate, so she simply walked in front of old Victor.

"She should be on the sixth floor, but it's a special place right now. It's hard for you to get through by yourself...Come with me! I'll help you get her out."

In fact, to be honest, Hermione felt a little guilty when she went to see Sinista right now.

Before, Sinista did not let old Victor know the truth, but now, she intervened as if she had made her own initiative, and directly told the old man the truth.

But now that we've said it, let's just do the "good thing" to the end!

Leading old Victor all the way up to the fifth floor, on the stairs leading to the sixth floor, Hermione asked old Victor to wait at the corner of the stairs.

"Is there anything unusual here?"

A group of r.a. members guarded here, and they were not sloppy when they saw that Hermione was coming. After giving the password like Hogwarts, Hermione asked about the guards here by the way.

One of the Hufflepuff seniors who had graduated from Hogwarts immediately gestured towards the stairs with his thumb.

"Nothing else, it's just a bit noisy up there..."

"What's going on?" Hermione asked curiously.

Another partner who stayed here immediately came over and said in a low voice:

"Since about three hours ago, Professor Sinista and little Sarah have been competing to tell which joke is the funniest. As long as the one who can't help laughing is the other party wins."

"Oh! They should find something else to do!" Hermione shook her head helplessly, "Well, I'll go in first, everyone will change shifts later, remember to take a good rest."

After all, he walked through the group of five and boarded the sixth floor of St. Mungo's.

As soon as she arrived upstairs, she saw that Ravenclaw elementary school girl named Sarah sitting beside Lian Chengzhen with a blank face, and said dryly to Sinista on the opposite side:

"Professor, do you know why we don't have any good luck recently?"

But before Sinista could answer, the two of them saw Hermione coming up the stairs.

"Miss Granger, what's the matter with you coming so late at night?"

Sinista was obviously a little worried about what happened next, and although Sarah on the side had been paying attention to Lian Chengzhen, knowing that there should be no accidents, she also followed Sinista to look over. .

"Oh, nothing..."

Hermione paused a little hesitantly, but the quill she was holding tightly in her hand gave her the strength to speak again in an instant.

"Well...that's actually how it is." She turned and continued, "Professor, I'm sorry... I told the old Mr. Victor about your matter without your consent."

"Oh?"

Sinista's expression didn't change as suddenly as Hermione imagined, she just remained silent for a while, and then nodded slightly after a short while.

"Really...how much have you said?"

"Uh, Professor?" Hermione said unexpectedly, "You...you don't blame me? I'm..."

But Sinista didn't let her finish speaking, but stretched out her hand to signal that she could stop talking about these blameless things.

Hermione paused for a moment, then said silently:

"I've said it all... including the fact that you are his biological daughter, and the fact that you have never had a father. Then, old Mr. Victor is waiting for you at the corner of the stairs below..."

After hearing this, Sinista couldn't help but nodded again, his eyes were full of indescribable depth.

"I see," she said faintly, "Since this is the case, then there is nothing I can do."

While talking, Sinista got up from the chair, and after nodding to Sarah, she walked slowly towards the stairs behind Hermione step by step.

Her footsteps seemed to be extremely heavy every step, as if an inexplicable force was constantly holding her back.

But the moment Sinista passed by her, Hermione silently glanced at her face.

She originally wanted to confirm whether the other party was angry with her, but who knew, what she saw at this moment was a calm smile.

For a split second, Hermione wanted to stop Professor Sinistra and ask her why she was laughing. But she opened her mouth, but in the end she still couldn't make a sound.

It wasn't until the other party went down with the sound of footsteps that Hermione let out a soft breath.

"Do you know why we haven't had good luck recently?" Sarah, who was opposite, suddenly asked again.

"what?"

"Because it's 'good luck'! It won't be so unlucky to meet us, will it?"

Hermione looked at Sarah blankly, and said for a long time:

"What is this? A cold joke?"
