Chapter 796

"Hermione? Oh, you're here..."

Luna would have come to the quill shop, but although she started earlier than Harry, she came to the literati house later than them.

In order to look for anything new and cheap at the DeVos and banks stores, she listed that store as the number one option almost every Hogsmeade day. Even if the store was at the end of Hogsmeade street, she always insisted on doing so.

Therefore, Luna's Hogsmeade trip is usually the opposite of everyone.

"Hermione, are you also choosing a new feather pen? I think crow feather is more convenient for us to write fine characters..."

Luna looked very happy to find Hermione and the three of them here. For her, the three Gryffindors in front of her are worth making friends, especially Hermione, who was close to her some time ago.

Unfortunately, today is not a suitable chance to meet.

"Wait!"

Hermione, who had been examining the feather tube carefully before, suddenly turned her head and stopped Luna who was coming towards her.

"Well?"

Luna was stunned when she heard the sound, and her steps stopped subconsciously.

"Are you okay?"

"Stay away from me and don't come here!" Hermione reached out and refused loudly.

In fact, not long ago, they had a tacit understanding in the library that did not need to be explained in words. Not to mention Maka, the friendship between them is actually a step further.

However, Luna now intuitively felt a sense of distance emanating from Hermione.

"What's the matter?" she looked at Hermione with a little doubt. "Is it physical discomfort? Or did the harassment gadfly float into your ears and affect your brain?"

It would be like swearing from others, but now Luna's gentle inquiry can only make people feel the concerns and concerns contained in her tone.

As for what is "harassment gadfly", er... Anyway, Ron standing not far away felt as if he had heard it somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it at all.

"Stop! Stop..."

Hermione closed her mouth tightly and didn't even look at Luna at the door. She just bowed her head and stepped back quickly.

Because somehow she felt that a restless mood was constantly surging up, and the unexplained anger mixed with her original doubts became more and more chaotic.

All she knew was that if Luna came any closer, she would probably be unable to help speaking ill to each other.

"Leave... Ron, Harry, let her leave first..."

Once she saw Luna's people and heard Luna's voice, she couldn't help getting angry. She knew that some ideas were wrong, but she could clearly feel that they really came from her heart.

Are you really jealous of Luna?

Yes, she's really jealous. Hermione always knows her mind. And she also knew that in the past, she had always suppressed this jealousy in the deepest part of her heart and never allowed it to be exposed.

But now, the jealousy is like a torch sprinkled with oil and lit... The high temperature is roasting her locked heart.

The salesman in the counter was looking at Hermione in surprise. He didn't know why she reacted so much when she saw the girl at the door.

Ron on one side saw that it was wrong and hurriedly came to Luna.

"Although I don't know what happened, in short, you go out first..." he was more or less at a loss, so he habitually listened to Hermione first. "Harry and I will take her back to school in a moment."

"Well..."

Luna glanced behind Ron again, but Hermione just leaned her back against the counter and still didn't look at her again.

"Then I'll go to the professor first," she was saying, but she warned seriously, "I think it's probably the ghost that harasses the Gadfly! Be careful, too."

After saying that, she wanted to turn around and leave here, but at the moment of looking back, her action suddenly stopped.

It can be seen that Harry, who was standing next to the container in the store, has now gone to Hermione's side. As he looked, he seemed to be comforting or asking Hermione, with a rather natural sense of anxiety in his expression.

However, Luna always felt that Harry today was a little different from usual.

"Luna, what's the matter?"

Ron saw her pause and couldn't help glancing back. But as soon as Hermione seemed to be shrinking back, he immediately urged Luna, "go first! Don't worry, Harry and I will take care of her."

"Oh."

Luna looked at Harry again in doubt. Then she nodded, turned and walked away quickly.

"Harry, how's Hermione?"

Seeing that Luna's figure soon disappeared into the crowd outside, Ron hurried back to Hermione. Harry was holding her elbow at the moment, otherwise she might have been unable to stand just now.

"I... I'm fine..."

The answer was Hermione. Her face looked very bad. She was a little red from the cold of Hogsmeade, but now she became pale.

Under the slight fluctuation of her chest, she wore coarse clothes and tried to adjust her breathing.

"She... Um..." Hermione opened her mouth and frowned, as if she was still enduring something. "Is she gone? Isn't she nearby?"

"Ah, yes..."

Ron answered, looking at his good friend Harry with an inquiring expression. But Harry, who was holding Hermione lightly, didn't seem to notice Ron's eyes, but was thinking about himself.

Hermione was relieved to hear Ron's affirmative answer. She first gently pushed away Harry's help, straightened herself, and then took a few deep breaths of air.

The salesperson behind the counter looked at them and showed a look of wanting to say but not daring to say. Most of them thought that the three students had affected the business of the store——

Don't you see that the other little guests are considering staying away from this "land of right and wrong"?

"Hermione, what happened just now? And you just talked to Luna in the auditorium -"

"Don't mention that name in front of me!"

Hermione's words interrupted Ron's concerns and startled the latter. But as soon as she blurted out these words, she immediately felt a little more regret on her face.

"Sorry, I'm not... I don't want to say that..." she first determined her impulse just now, but then she shook her head, "no, no... I did think so, but I..."

Ron blinked, a little complexity hidden in the depths of his pupils.

He felt that although he didn't understand what caused Hermione to become like this, he might be able to understand Hermione's state.

"Anyway, let's go back first!" Ron quickly exhorted without a sigh. "Lou... I mean, someone has informed the professor, and Maka must know soon. Let them have a look, they should be able to understand what's going on."

"Maka..." Hermione said in a daze, but the next second she stepped back. "No, it's the only thing. I don't want Maka to know --"

"Hermione!"

Ron stared into her eyes and just wanted to say something, but another thought suddenly crossed his mind.

[yes! If Maka saw what Hermione looked like with Luna... Would something interesting happen?]

He was thinking and suddenly knocked himself on the head.

"What's this with what..." Ron thought to himself, "is there something wrong with my brain? No, it's probably that I'm habitually thinking..."

After mocking himself, Ron pulled Hermione's sleeve and took her to the door of wenhabitat.

"It's normal for me to be small-minded, but it's wrong to put it on Hermione. Sure enough, I still have to let Maka see..."

He walked straight ahead despite Hermione's struggle to pull off her sleeve.

"Harry, come and help! We have to take Hermione back to school..."

However, Harry, who was still in the store, didn't act immediately.

In the hesitant gaze of the salesperson and other guests, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the back of Ron and Hermione.

"Hum... Interesting," Harry said to himself in a soft, inaudible voice. "Hermione Granger has strong willpower. It's understandable that she can barely resist her desire... But Ron Weasley's will is much weaker. Why is it less affected than Granger?"

"Harry?"

After discovering that there was no one to follow, Ron paused outside the door and shouted again inside.

"Ah, well! I'll come right away!"

Harry, who was still in the store, answered. He seemed to put down his doubts for the time being and raised his legs and walked forward.

"But the brain doesn't work very well... Is that why?"

……

Almost ten minutes later, at Hogwarts school gate.

"Marca - Professor McGonagall -"

Maka has just driven away the Witt family. She is discussing with Professor McGonagall about going to the pig head bar!

But when he stepped out of the door and was ready to take out the key, a familiar voice came from a far away place.

"Luna?"

Maka and Professor McGonagall looked at each other. The latter gave him a funny smile, and then turned and went in the direction of the castle.

"Oh... I'm so sorry?"

Marca smiled awkwardly, took back the door key, and then saw the familiar pale gold on the horse road.

"Maka, no! Hermione's brain is about to be destroyed by the harassment gadfly -"

"What?"
