Chapter 127 Days at Hermione’s House

"Mrs. Thatcher has been made a lifelong noble." Wendell said vaguely while biting bread and reading the front page of the newspaper.

He naturally turned his thoughts to wizards, "Hey, Loren, are there any nobles in the magic world?"

Loren was eating slices of bread with milk. He didn't like strawberry jam very much: "Yes, in fact, wizard society is probably similar to medieval society."

Monica also strained her ears to listen.

Loren felt that as the parents of a young wizard, he had the right to understand the current trends and basic situation in the magical world.

Loren said: "The magic world divides people into pure blood, mixed blood and Muggle family origins based on blood. Pure-blood wizards with the twenty-eight pure-blood families as the core can be regarded as nobles."

"Wizard society has serious blood theories and blood discrimination. Pure-blood wizards discriminate against non-pure-bloods, including mixed-blood and ordinary families. Children from ordinary families are easily bullied by pure-bloods. The situation got better after Principal Dumbledore came to power. But also This cannot be completely prevented from happening.”

"Discrimination? This is really terrible!" Monica looked at Hermione worriedly, "My dear, you haven't even told us this."

Wendell stopped reading the newspaper and was worried and serious: "What is the current situation? Should we consider transferring to another school?"

The Grangers attach great importance to the campus environment. The campus environment when Monica was in school was also very harsh. She encountered prejudiced teachers and classmates who were always making things difficult for others. As an adult, she found it unbearable.

They couldn't help but worry at the thought that Hermione at such a young age might encounter a similar situation.

The letters Hermione sent home always only contained novel and interesting experiences, and never mentioned things like blood discrimination. She didn't want to worry her parents.

Hermione quickly explained: "That's not entirely true. Only young wizards in Slytherin will be instilled with this view. No one in Gryffindor House will discriminate against blood."

"Really?" Monica asked Loren for confirmation. She was worried that Hermione said this just to continue learning magic.

Loren nodded, "Pure-blood wizards are now the minority, and more mixed-bloods are entering the magic world, bringing about changes with modern ideas."

Monica felt slightly relieved.

Hermione took the opportunity to add: "Do you still remember? The Hogwarts I mentioned has four houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin, and only Slytherin. Only people have such backward thoughts..."

"Gryffindor values ​​courage..."

Hermione talked about the founders of the four major colleges and the ideological atmosphere of each college, so that parents don't have to worry.

The dining table has returned to a harmonious atmosphere, a warm family breakfast time.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. There was only one wizarding school in the UK, Hogwarts. If she really wanted to transfer, she would have to transfer to a foreign country.

When her parents weren't paying attention, she raised her head and glared at Loren fiercely. He was not expelled from school despite violating school rules, but he almost transferred to another school because of this person.

It's not my fault, I'm just stating the facts.

Loren glared back unwilling to be outdone.

After breakfast, Monica tidied up a little and went out with Wendell. I drove to go shopping to prepare everything for camping, and I had to be back before lunch, so time was a bit tight.

"You guys have fun at home!" The door slammed shut.

Only Loren and Hermione were left in the empty house, sitting quietly on the sofa with upright and meticulous postures.

Hermione was a little awkward. It was not like they had never been alone together, but now that they were alone in her house, it felt very strange.

Especially when I was bitten by Loren last night, when I thought about it, the strange feeling became even more serious.

After breakfast, her sleepiness seemed to have disappeared temporarily, and she was even very energetic now.

"Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Hermione tilted her head.

Loren, who had always fallen asleep when he could, was very energetic now. He shook his head gently and said, "I'm not sleepy after breakfast."

"Then, what do we do now?" Now that the two of them were alone, Hermione still didn't dare to look into Loren's eyes. The clear blue eyes sucked people's thoughts in like the ocean.

"When you ask me this, I don't even know which one of us is the guest." Loren smiled and said, "What do you usually do at home? Take me with you."

After hearing this, the strange feeling in Hermione's heart slowly disappeared, and she relaxed: "In the past school holidays, I would read books and do handicrafts at home. After becoming a student at Hogwarts, I have been doing Practice magic and read wizard books.”

Loren's heart trembled briefly as she thought about the large boxes of handicrafts in the room.

Hermione's life is very simple and can be seen through at a glance. You go to school to study, and after school you do pre-study and review. The extra free time is also used to read books for entertainment. When doing handicrafts, you should keep in mind your parents' instructions and not overuse your eyes.

In this way, several boxes of handicrafts were piled up.

She had no friends, no childhood, people at school called her a nerd, and she couldn't play with kids her own age in the community.

No wonder Hermione is so afraid of being expelled from Hogwarts, because this is her new and wonderful new life, a new life full of fun and wonder.

Loren exhaled and changed her tone, "So, Miss Granger, what do you want to take me to do?"

Hermione thought for a moment and her eyes slowly lit up: "I have finished reading all the books in my own small study. I want to go to my parents' study to read, but they won't let me in."

Loren looked at Hermione's eager expression and didn't dare agree to the proposal.

No wonder Hermione is so interested in books in the restricted section of the Hogwarts library. It turns out there is a restricted section in her home.

Loren could guess what the Grangers were thinking. Both of them were dentists and graduated from medical school. Most of the books in the study must be about medicine. Whether it was anatomy diagrams or disease diagrams, most of the illustrations above were not suitable for children and were not suitable for Hermione to view. The Grangers were doing it for Hermione's physical and mental health.

Swollen and twisted muscle tissue, crooked mouth, red and swollen pustule skin. The young Hermione probably had to have nightmares for a few days after seeing this.

More importantly, in a place like the study, if you go in and look around, you will definitely leave traces.

If Mr. and Mrs. Granger could detect that they had entered through the creases in the pages or the location of the pen, wouldn't it be another naughty classmate who led their obedient daughter into mischief?

But looking at Hermione's shining eyes, brown eyes that seemed to be filled with starlight, Loren couldn't say anything in opposition.

"This is your home, I'll do whatever you want." Loren compromised. He even got a hold of a snake in Snape's office. There are many things that are more difficult to accept than this.

"Yeah!" Hermione exclaimed happily.

If she were alone, she might not be able to make this determination, but it would be different with Loren by her side. Criminals will always feel much less psychological pressure when they have accomplices.

From this perspective, it was indeed Loren who led Hermione astray.

Hermione grabbed Loren's hand and led him to the door of Mr. and Mrs. Granger's study. She took out her wand and whispered: "[Alajo Hole Opens]"

The door lock made a soft "click" sound, the lock cylinder was twisted under the influence of magic, and the defense measures set up by the Grangers were broken.

Hermione carefully and very gently turned the handle and pushed the door open.

Loren followed the little witch and whispered: "Hermione, why do we act like thieves?"

He clearly felt Hermione's movements stiffen, and then Hermione smiled sheepishly, "Yes, mom and dad are not at home, so we can watch openly."

Hermione reached out and touched the switch on the wall, and the white light on the ceiling lit up, illuminating the entire study.

The study room is almost as big as the living room, with solid wood flooring and the same smooth light blue paint as the exterior walls. In the center is a long black desk with a matte brown wood surface and dotted lines. Next to it are two four-corner wooden chairs of the same color.

It's as if you can see the Grangers sitting on it, finishing the work they didn't have time to finish at the clinic, or one of them checking last month's expense bills, and the other filling out the tax return.

The two graduated from medical school, established a clinic together, built a home, and then welcomed the birth of Hermione.

There is a bookshelf on each side, both of which are filled to the brim. One side has professional books on medicine, and the other side has other miscellaneous books, mostly literary novels, and some best-sellers.

Hermione couldn't help but feel excited when she saw the book. She skipped the obscure medical books and rushed to other miscellaneous books.

"The Secret Pilgrim, The Great Railway Fair..." Hermione read the names of the books aloud, "Mum won't let me read these because she thinks I'm not old enough to read them."

The situation was better than Loren imagined. At least Hermione was not interested in medical books yet. As for Mrs. Granger's idea, it is also out of the protection of young minds. Every age has books that every age should read.

It's like asking a child to read Mo Yan's "Feng*Fat*", which is also inappropriate.

Loren thought about the words: "Maybe she is right?"

"I know, but I just wanted to take a look." Hermione's cheeks were flushed with excitement, "You also choose one, and we can look through it."

Loren understood immediately that Hermione didn't necessarily need to read these books, it was just that the Grangers' ban aroused her thoughts.

Hermione had already found her target. She picked a book, squatted down and flipped through it quickly. It didn't look like she was reading seriously, it was just for excitement.

He knelt down to see what book Hermione was reading. There were very few words in the book, and most of them were illustrations. The movements of the two simple figures on the picture were clearly demonstrated: turning and hitting, hugging and throwing, scissor-kick strangulation...

Loren gently lifted the page and checked the name of the book - "Analysis of Krav Maga".

Looking at Hermione again, she was completely immersed in the book, her eyes were sparkling, and she loved this book very much.

Loren was silent for a moment, and finally he plucked up the courage to snap up Hermione's book and put it back on the shelf.

Hermione looked at this series of actions and was a little confused: "What are you doing?"

"Let's practice magic. We shouldn't waste our time in the morning."

Loren's reason was very legitimate, but he didn't have enough confidence. "Didn't you say that you have the best memory and the best condition in the morning, so you can get twice the result with half the effort when studying."

Hermione eyed him suspiciously.

"I want to practice the Patronus Charm with you."

"Patronus Charm?" Hermione's eyes lit up, "Then let's go to the backyard to practice."

Hermione looked back at the name of the book carefully, as if to remember it, and then pulled Loren out of the study.

Loren followed without saying a word, silently raising the priority of Apparition by several levels.

Breakfast time at the Granger family was around 7:30. Even though they had an adventure in the study, the rising sun outside still had a halo of light. The bright white color was mixed with the orange clouds, conveying a scene full of vitality.

The two stepped into the courtyard. The water splashed yesterday had been completely absorbed by the grass, leaving only a few dewdrops hanging on the leaves and grass branches.

Seeing that Hermione seemed to be still thinking about the fighting skills in the book, Loren took out his wand and waved it gently, signaling Hermione's attention:

"The Patronus Charm is an ancient and mysterious spell. It is a response to our most positive emotions. It can summon a Patronus in the form of an animal, which can drive away specific dark creatures, such as dementors and Voldemort bats. You can use these. You know, right?"

"Ok, I know."

Speaking of magic, Hermione's eyes were firm, "Miranda Gorshak mentioned this curse. It is a symbolic curse. People think that wizards who can use the Patronus Curse always have lofty ideals. Those who Wizards who can conjure physical Patronuses are often promoted to high-ranking officials in the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic."

"In contrast, dark wizards are believed to be incapable of using the Patronus Charm."

Loren couldn't help but look sideways and exclaimed: "You can't memorize all the books written by Miranda Gorshak, can you?"

He only knew that Hermione admired this legendary witch and may have previewed her "Standard Spells" series of books, but it was outrageous that she could even recite content other than "Standard Spells".

Hermione took this as a compliment and said with a smile, "I just wrote down the parts that interest me."

The morning light shines on the girl's confident face, shining brightly.

Loren struggled to look away and brought the topic back on track: "When casting a spell, you need to concentrate on recalling the happiest memory you can think of. The stronger the pleasure the memory brings, the more powerful the spell will be..."

"Dumbledore can also use the Patronus to communicate, which is very convenient."

When the sun completely emerged from the clouds, Loren finished all the theoretical content.

"Let's start practicing."

"[Invoking God Guards]" Loren drew a circle with his wand, and wisps of silver light the size of his head appeared on it. The floating light mist and some condensed silver light ribbons kept floating and rotating.

Hermione brought her face closer to take a closer look, then raised her head and said to Loren, "I can't tell what kind of animal it is."

"I still can't summon a physical Patronus. Dumbledore said I need to practice more." Loren was also observing the silver light, which seemed a little bigger than when he was in Dumbledore's office.

Alas, I didn’t expect Er Yang to be even more annoyed than the first time. Please take care of your health.

The 4k I owe will be paid as soon as possible.
