Chapter 316 The Disappearing Centaur

When the Scottish round-faced fat chicken flew over the castle tower, a little snow on the roof was brought down, and some of it was scattered in front of the windowsill of the women's dormitory below.

Through the hazy glass window, you can see the beautiful girl waking up on the bed inside.

When a person is in a very good mood, he will laugh in his dreams.

Hermione is probably like this.

The first thing she did after waking up was to recall the memory of last night. After confirming that it was true, her heart was filled with sweetness again, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

"Mr. Lu Yuan~?"

[Hermione, speaking with a pinched throat is not your style, it's a bit strange. ]

"Well, I mean, Merry Christmas!"

[Merry Christmas, as for this year's Christmas gift, it's a bit special, we need to go to your house. 】

Hermione's face flushed, and the quilt covered half of her face in an instant. She said shyly: "So soon? Should I tell them first?"

Lu Yuan was speechless for several seconds before saying: [Think about yesterday's dance. Is there a possibility that we went there for the safety of your parents? 】

After being reminded, Hermione's smart brain regained the upper hand and immediately understood what Lu Yuan meant.

Her face changed on the spot. How could she stay in bed? She immediately turned over and got up, quickly dressed, and then the golden red flames engulfed her.

When she appeared again, she had arrived in front of a small villa in the suburbs of Hampstead Garden, London.

After Hermione checked all around and confirmed that all kinds of detection magic and confusion barriers were not triggered, she was slightly relieved, and then the flames brought her into the house.

"Dad, Mom!"

The Grangers, who were preparing breakfast and reading newspapers, were startled by the sudden appearance of Hermione.

"Oh! Honey, why did you come back so suddenly?" Mrs. Granger walked out of the kitchen and gave her daughter a hug.

"I know, it's because of the magic of missing you!" Mr. Granger smiled and put down the newspaper, and walked up to hug his daughter.

"You're back just in time, Hermione, just in time for breakfast." Mrs. Granger pulled her daughter to the table.

"Wait, Mom, there are some things we need to solve before dinner." Hermione didn't forget the business of coming back.

Pulling her parents to sit down in front of the sofa, the pendants they wore in front of them floated up silently, and more mysterious runes began to be outlined on them.

Then, with Hermione as the center, a circle of golden barriers spread out, covering the entire villa before disappearing.

When everything returned to calm, Hermione received the information from Lu Yuan, and then she smiled with relief.

"Dad, Mom, your pendants have been strengthened. In addition to the previous defense and communication capabilities, they have also added the effect of automatically teleporting home when encountering danger. Our house is cast with special magic. Even powerful wizards can't find this place without permission." Hermione explained.

In fact, in order to avoid her parents' worries, Hermione said much more briefly. This time, Lu Yuan helped to upgrade. In addition to hiding this villa, he also concealed the Grangers themselves, making it difficult for those with magic to remember and automatically ignore their existence.

Although Hermione didn't say anything, the perceptive Mrs. Granger still noticed something was wrong, "Hermione, did something happen?"

"It's okay, the magic world is not as safe as imagined, I have to give my family more protection." Hermione perfunctorily passed.

After having breakfast with her parents, she planned to return to school.

"Don't you want to stay at home for a few more days?"

"No, mom, we can contact each other at any time, and I can come back at any time."

"Well, be safe outside!"

Watching Hermione disappear in the flames, Mrs. Granger looked at her husband, "Our little Hermione has grown up and has her own secrets."

"Children grow up like this, as long as she doesn't learn bad things."

......

Time passed quickly, the Whomping Willow shook off the snow on its body, and new buds emerged from the soil of the earth.

The second match of the Triwizard Cup came quietly.

A huge viewing platform was set up at the edge of the Black Lake, because the content of this event was to rescue people from the hands of the fish-man. The result of the game was not much different from the original. Fleur was still caught by the waterweed. With the help of Hermione, Harry not only rescued Ron, but also Fleur's sister.

As for Hermione herself, with the help of the Bubblehead Charm and the flame, she was like a deep-water torpedo underwater. The person she rescued was Luna, the magical little witch from Ravenclaw. This made many people unexpected that they were also friends.

After the game, the three came to Hagrid's hut as guests and got an unexpected news.

The centaurs in the Forbidden Forest disappeared, or rather, they moved away from their original residence and went to the depths of the Forbidden Forest, as if they were hiding from something.

"Did they predict something?" Hermione said while drinking Hagrid's special afternoon tea: "The book says that they can get divination revelations through the changes in the starry sky."

"I don't know, they always talk nonsense and don't like to make things clear." Hagrid added firewood to the fireplace.

"Maybe they themselves don't know, so they are deliberately so vague, which makes them seem more mysterious, right, Harry?" Ron interrupted.

"I don't know either, I only met them once, but I feel they are not bad." Harry shrugged.

Hermione looked at Hagrid, "Has anything strange happened recently?"

"Strange?" Hagrid scratched his beard, his black beetle-like eyes fell into thought, and then shook his head, "Nothing strange, just one of the Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest is missing. Maybe it took the initiative to leave the tribe and go looking for the so-called kingdom of death."

"What legend is this?" Hermione wondered. With her current knowledge, it was the first time she heard such a statement.

"It's just a legend among fans of magical creatures. We always look for romantic interpretations for the death of some magical creatures. The Thestrals are like this. They can no longer stay in the human world and have gone to find the kingdom of death. They will become messengers of the god of death and continue to serve the god of death." Hagrid was happy to share this kind of anecdote, which would make him seem not out of date.

However, Hermione became alert after hearing the name "Death".

She looked out the window and always had a bad premonition.

The castle outside the window was still the same, but the surrounding scenery had changed from spring to early summer.

In the fantasy world, the two people who had just destroyed a forest were sitting by the lake drinking highly sweet honey tea.

Dumbledore held a delicate porcelain cup and enjoyed the moment comfortably. "You have made great progress, Hermione. After more than half a year of sparring, even I can hardly defeat you in terms of personal strength. The training afterwards is meaningless."

Hermione, who was drinking tea with the old man next to him, was stunned. "You mean, I don't need to come?"

Dumbledore smiled and drank tea without saying anything, but Hermione suddenly reacted and her expression changed. This fantasy world was created by Lu Yuan to improve her strength. If she didn't need to come again in the future, wouldn't it mean that this world no longer had any need to exist? What about the old man in front of him?

"Principal Dumbledore, you..."

Old Dumbledore raised his hand and smiled, "It's just the end of this special journey. For me, there are more unknowns waiting ahead."

Looking at the open-minded look of the old man in front of her, Hermione didn't know what to say. More than half a year of one-on-one sparring made Hermione change her view of Dumbledore a lot.

"Go, return to your world, where your story is still going on. Remember, Hermione, you are much stronger than you think."

After that, white light began to fill the entire world. At the last moment when the white light engulfed it, Dumbledore raised his tea from afar to say goodbye.
