Chapter 374 372. Thank you, Miss Granger
Floyd's body fell straight backwards. Her body was tightly wrapped with the rope produced by the restraint spell. Apart from her mouth being able to speak, her body could no longer make any movements. .
Her two followers only dared to raise their wands, but they still didn't have the guts to fight back.
It wasn't until Hermione turned her attention to them that one of the girls trembled and wanted to use the stun spell, but the spell didn't even scratch the edge of Hermione's clothes, and flew far away and hit Ground lawn.
There was no difficulty at all. Hermione directly dealt with these three pure-blood girls. To be honest, she herself found it a little incredible that in Hogwarts Castle under the control of Voldemort, pure-blood students had actually been ruined to such an extent.
But in fact, of course, not all purebloods are trash, but Hermione met these few who just happen to be indolent, and they bully the weak and fear the strong. Dark wizards like Hermione who are "notorious" and "notorious", They didn't even have the courage to fight back.
Because of fear, Freud did not dare to shout loudly. Moreover, the place they chose to torture Asia was particularly clever. It fulfilled the saying, "No matter how loud you shout, no one will come to save you."
"You, you can't do this. Do you think that by stopping us, you are saving this little bitch? No! As long as the professors know about this and know that you cast a spell on us just to save this mixed-race student, She will definitely be tortured to the point of death!"
As if he had thought of something, Freud told Hermione the consequences of doing so in a nervous and urgent tone, trying to save the situation.
"As long as you don't hurt me and my two friends, let us go. Then I promise that we won't tell the professor what happened today, and this little bitch will not be harmed. Granger, you It's called Granger, right? I make a promise on behalf of the Floyd family!"
Hermione didn't look at her from beginning to end, but just sat next to Asia.
"Did you see it? That's what they are like, not only them, but also the professors in this castle. No matter how ferocious and terrifying these people usually behave, once they lose their strength, they are just like a puddle of mud."
The short-term ups and downs have caused Asia to have great mood swings now.
She kept shedding tears and sobbing quietly, like a timid kitten who didn't even dare to cry louder.
After Hermione sat next to her, she couldn't help burying her head in Hermione's knees, holding her slender waist with both hands and crying loudly.
Freud thought that Asia was frightened by what she just said. She felt that Hermione would definitely feel soft-hearted by Asia's current performance, so she spoke more excitedly and urgently.
"Not only will I not tell anyone what happened today, I also swear Granger! I will never cause trouble to this bastard again! You certainly can't kill us, can you? Since Dumbledore is willing to come to the game, he definitely doesn't want to If you have a conflict with Mr. Principal, you can’t kill us, so just trust me! Let us go, Granger!”
Hermione did not push Asia away, letting her tears soak her robe. At the same time, she reached out her hand and gently stroked the hair of the girl who was obviously two years older than her.
"Have you forgotten that there is a kind of magic in the magic world called the Forgetting Curse?"
Hearing Hermione's words, Freud suddenly narrowed his eyes, but soon she pretended to be relaxed and said with a forced smile.
"But you have just learned magic for less than two years, right? The Forgetting Curse is a very profound magic. Even if you find a seventh-grade student in the castle, you may not be able to master it. What's more, you are only in the fourth grade and you can't master it at the beginning. After being a slave in the castle for a year, don’t scare me, Granger, letting me go is the only thing you can do!”
The further she talked, I didn't know whether she had convinced Hermione, but she seemed to have been convinced by her own words, and her tone became more and more decisive, as if she was sure that Hermione would not do anything to her.
"She can't do it, so can I?"
A voice that did not belong to everyone present suddenly sounded.
Floyd suddenly turned his head and looked at the boy who had appeared on the grass at an unknown time with a look of astonishment. After seeing the face that had appeared in the Daily Prophet countless times, the astonishment on his face It also turned into panic!
Hermione also raised her head and looked at the unexpected visitor. The corners of her mouth curled up in a slight arc unconsciously. Asia, who was buried in her knees, also raised her head blankly with red eyes and saw the person who had been there during this period. Let the students in the entire castle curse the terrified students.
"When did you come here?"
"Hey, we've known each other for so long, Hermione, you don't really think I didn't notice that your mood became a little different after returning to the carriage."
"Then why didn't you ask me then?"
"If I had asked, you would have told me directly. That would be boring. I would hide it from you first, and then suddenly show up when you need me. In this way, you will get a surprise, and I will be satisfied. We win-win, don't we?"
".Has anyone ever said that your hobby is disgusting?"
"It seems that there is no one, but there are so many people here, we can find someone to ask and we will know the answer. Miss, I remember your name seems to be Freud? Do you think I have a bad taste?"
Jon raised his eyebrows and walked to Freud's side with questions. He just approached and scared this noble pureblood to scream, just like Asia who was forced by them before, constantly trying to retreat and stay away from him.
"Don't kill me! Please! Don't kill me!"
"It turns out to be a persecution patient." Jon spread his hands and shrugged, then waved his wand casually, and the next moment Freud's eyes suddenly became empty.
Floyd's two followers also burst into tears, but unfortunately this is the place they chose themselves, no one will come to save them even if they cry louder.
Following the same method, Jon also made their eyes empty, cleared their memories of seeing Hermione and himself here today, and then wove a false memory that Asiya ran away from them.
"Let's go to another place, Miss Granger, who is a hero who saves the beauty, otherwise it will cost me a lot of effort when they wake up."
In the face of Jon's ridicule, Hermione just reached out and hammered his shoulder, then helped Asiya up and followed Jon to the edge of the Forbidden Forest near the carriage.
They couldn't get too close to the carriage, which was the focus of the Aurors' surveillance. The two of them would definitely cause trouble for Asiya in the future with a student from the castle.
After helping Hermione solve the subsequent problems, Jon didn't stay here any longer. He was not a patriarch who cared about everything. He just found that Hermione's expression was a little wrong in the carriage and followed her to help. Now that the matter was settled, he didn't intend to interfere with Hermione's social life.
Jon certainly didn't think it was a big deal to meet the students in the castle. He had met Cedric in the Forbidden Forest before. Couldn't Hermione play a hero to save the beauty?
So Jon didn't plan to steal the show. After saying goodbye to Hermione, he reminded her that it was almost time for dinner and left in the direction of the carriage.
By this time, Asia's mood had gradually stabilized. She was still sobbing softly, lowering her head and whispering to Hermione to thank her.
"Thank you, Miss Granger"
"So why didn't you resist?" Hermione looked at her calmly and asked the question again.
Asia grabbed both sides of her robe with both hands.
"If I resist, they will bully me more, and my parents will also cause trouble for them. My mother taught me not to cause trouble in school"
"So you can endure her curse on you, turning you into a beast that is neither human nor ghost in the future?"
Tears fell from Asia's eyes again, and her red and swollen eyes looked up at Hermione.
"But, but I am the only one who has to endure the torture, right? At least I won't bring trouble to my parents."
Hermione fell silent.
She stared at this seemingly weak girl quietly, as if she was looking at herself more than a year ago.
The only difference between the two of them is that Hermione wants to sacrifice herself to save more classmates, while Asiya now wants to sacrifice herself to stabilize her parents' lives.
She did not accuse her of being weak, because both of them made the same choice.
It was just because Hermione was lucky enough that she met Jon at that time, but what kind of luck could Asiya have to meet someone like Jon she wanted her to meet?
Or let Hermione be Jon now?
Hermione did not have that idea, or it could be said that Hermione could not think of it for the time being. This time at Hogwarts Castle, not only did Jon need to work hard to win the Triwizard Tournament, but Hermione herself also had an important task.
As for Asiya, there was not much she could do now.
"Your bracelet is very beautiful."
After a long silence, Hermione changed the topic and looked at the bracelet on Asia's left wrist.
Asia sniffed and looked at her wrist. After seeing the bracelet, her eyes were dull for a moment, but she returned to normal in the next second.
"My mother gave it to me on my 16th birthday."
"She should have bought it in a Muggle jewelry store." Hermione stared at the bracelet and said, "When I was taken to Hogwarts Castle, my mother was wearing a bracelet exactly like yours. It was given to her by my father on her wedding anniversary that year."
Asia was a sensitive girl. She heard the unusualness in Hermione's calm tone, so she asked in a low voice.
"Will you miss your parents?"
"Of course I will." Hermione did not hide her feelings, "But I can't recognize them now, but Professor Dumbledore told us that after the Triwizard Tournament, the Forgetfulness Curse on our parents may be lifted. At least it is safe in France. At that time, I can recognize them again."
Asia's eyes lit up.
"Congratulations."
"Such early congratulations mean that you also think that we will win this game, right?"
"Your friend, that boy named Jon Green, is very powerful. I heard a lot about him in the castle."
"In fact, he is usually very unpredictable, but at critical moments he is more reliable than anyone else. So, if you believe that he can win this game in the end, then after the game is over, your situation will be the same. will be changed."
Hermione said softly.
Asia raised her head. She didn't seem to understand what Hermione meant.
"Don't forget that the content of the bet between Professor Dumbledore and your principal is not only about the ownership of the French wizarding world, but also about the Hogwarts Castle."
Hermione looked up at the towering castle.
"Whoever wins this competition will gain the uniqueness of the school name Hogwarts and the ownership of this castle. At that time, the professor will definitely strive to keep all the students here. After that, you can have a normal campus life.”
"Is it really possible?" Asia asked in a small voice, with hope in her eyes, but her tone was obviously unconfident.
For some reason, Hermione suddenly remembered what Jon once said to her in the castle, "The professor at the other Hogwarts never lies."
She laughed and made the same promise.
"Definitely!"
As if moved by Hermione's promise, Asia became cheerful and bright. She looked at the smile on Hermione's face and a smile appeared on her own face.
This girl was obviously two years younger than her, but it gave her a sense of security that she had never felt before.
Asia had disappeared from the castle long enough. She could no longer continue chatting with Hermione here. Without waiting for Hermione to say anything, she offered to go back.
"Try not to be alone when you go back, and avoid those people who bully you. If they still want to kidnap you out of the castle and curse you, then scream for help and I will hear you."
This promise should not have been kept. Hermione warned herself from the beginning not to have too much to do with the students in the castle at this time, but in the end she couldn't hold back and said it.
Asia's red eyes were not swollen yet, but she looked at her smiling face as bright as the sun.
"Thank you, Miss Granger!"
