Chapter 652 Repairing the Crescent Moon Pendant
Hermione stared at Ivan angrily, but she was also curious about what the important thing Ivan said was.
Perhaps because she felt that her gift was certainly not as valuable as Ivan's, Hermione gave in after hesitating, but still emphasized.
"Okay, I can take it out first, but you are not allowed to use Legilimency!"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't have to!" Ivan promised, patting his chest. He didn't mean to lie, because surprises are just like that. Once you know it, it won't be a surprise enough.
Hermione took out the wand from the black silk belt tied around her waist and waved it gently in the air. Dots of fluorescence spurted out from the top of the wand, and finally transformed into a long strip. Under the guidance, it became more and more solid.
Not a bad magic trick, Ivan secretly admired in his heart. Of course he could see that it was a deception. Hermione should have temporarily hidden the things with a shrinking spell, and then used fluorescence to attract his sight to enlarge the things.
But seeing it didn't mean exposing it. Ivan still pretended to be interested and watched Hermione conjure a brown scarf out of thin air.
"Is this for me?" Ivan noticed that this scarf seemed a little different. It was not as delicate as the ones sold on the market, and it was even a little rough on the corners. He looked at Hermione and guessed. "Did you knit it yourself?"
Hermione nodded shyly and said softly. "Mrs. Weasley taught me this during the summer vacation this year. I saw you didn't have a scarf yet, so..."
Hermione did not continue, but looked at Ivan expectantly and a little nervously.
She hesitated for a long time about the choice of Christmas gift this year. She originally wanted to give Ivan a book as usual, but she always felt that this would not be helpful to Ivan. She wanted her gift to be more meaningful, so she knitted a scarf by herself. .
"This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received. Can you put it on for me?" Ivan looked at her with a smile.
Hermione nodded, took a deep breath, walked forward with red cheeks, and slowly put the scarf around his neck.
The two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.
Whether it was her first time tying a scarf for someone, or whether she was too nervous, it took Hermione a long time to get it right.
Ivan was not in a hurry at all, he stared straight at the girl's delicate face close at hand, admiring the way she was playing with her scarf seriously.
After a while, Hermione finally arranged her scarf, took a step back, and returned to her previous position. She stood looking at him with her hands behind her back.
Ivan naturally knew that she was expecting a gift from him, so he no longer wanted to show off. He took out a pendant from the pocket of the wizard's robe and displayed it in front of the little witch.
This pendant looks very strange. It is in the shape of a crescent moon and is strung up by a long silver chain. It shines particularly brightly under the reflection of the moonlight.
"It's so beautiful!" Hermione stared at it in fascination and murmured to herself.
However, she soon noticed that there were many fine cracks on the surface of the crescent moon pendant, which seemed to be seriously damaged, and she looked at Ivan again in confusion.
"This is a Christmas gift my mother Asia gave me during Christmas in the first grade...a very delicate magic item that can resist a fatal injury to the bearer..." Ivan explained with an expression on his face. Somewhat nostalgic.
Hermione was both surprised and a little scared. Of course she could understand what the broken crescent moon pendant meant. Doesn't that mean that Ivan almost died once?
"Is it time to protect the Philosopher's Stone?" Hermione suddenly thought of this and asked anxiously.
Although she did not see the specific battle process at the time, the battle situation was obviously very tragic.
After she arrived with Dumbledore, the place was full of broken eaves and broken walls, and Ivan was in a coma for two full days before he woke up.
Ivan nodded with fear, but before he could say anything, Hermione rushed over and hugged him fiercely.
The intermittent crying soon reached his ears, and the robe on his chest seemed to be soaked with water.
"That happened a long time ago, it's long gone, isn't it?" Ivan didn't expect that the little witch would have such a big reaction, so he clumsily comforted him, secretly regretting that he would not have dealt with this if he had known better. I told her something...
Hermione didn't reply, she just snuggled into Ivan's arms and vented her panic. She really wanted to scold Ivan for his risky actions, but she couldn't speak anyway.
Because they went on that adventure together, and Ivan didn't do anything wrong. If they didn't stop Quirrell, the mysterious man would use the resurrection of the magic stone to wreak havoc in the magical world, causing massacres.
What really made Hermione feel painful was her own powerlessness. She was always unable to help at critical moments.
Ivan comforted softly, and it took a while to calm down Hermione's emotions. Then he personally put on the crescent moon pendant for her and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Very suitable and very beautiful!" Ivan said with appreciation as he looked at the girl in front of him.
The former is talking about the pendant, and the latter is describing Hermione wearing the pendant.
Although the little witch had cried and her eyes were still a little red, this did not affect her charm at all. On the contrary, it covered up her previous strength and highlighted the girl's unique softness.
Hermione gently stroked the crescent moon pendant hanging around her neck. The uneasiness and fear in her heart were gradually filled with happiness. She did not dislike it as a damaged magic item. After understanding the reason, , she knew very well how precious and special this gift was.
Thinking of this, Hermione wanted to say thanks, but was interrupted by Ivan.
"Wait...it's not over yet!"
Hermione looked at Ivan confused, not quite understanding what he meant.
"I think it's time to fix it now!" Ivan said with a smile, stretched out his hand to pick up the crescent moon pendant and slowly held it in his palm.
Then Ivan closed his eyes and concentrated on using Professor Nico Flamel's transmission magic to inject the strong emotions in his heart at this moment into the pendant.
Hermione was so nervous that she didn't dare to move or speak for fear of disturbing Ivan's spell casting.
Gradually, a dazzling golden light spread from between the fingers held by Ivan, which was exceptionally warm. Hermione, who was so close, could clearly feel the strong affection contained in that power.
This lasted for half a minute. Ivan opened his eyes again, with a little more fatigue on his face. He spread his hands, and the crescent moon pendant in the center of his palm had become perfect, and the fine cracks disappeared without a trace. From time to time, You can see golden fluorescence flowing on it.
