Hermione returned to the room, looking a little dazed.

Jack, who was in the same dormitory with her, was a little confused when he met her.

"What happened?" he asked with concern, "I saw you running out in a hurry just now, why did you come back with such an expression?"

"I... um..." Hermione hesitated, "I just went to find Neville."

"Then?"

"I asked him a few questions."

"Didn't get an answer?" Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah." Hermione nodded.

"What did you ask him?" Jack asked again.

"Yes..." Hermione didn't know whether to say it directly.

She was obviously in the same dormitory as Jack, but she wanted to get answers from Neville when she had questions. There was a reason.

It was not only Neville who was killed, but also Jack.

In addition, it was Jack who finally set fire to the Qianlong Sect.

Seeing how skillfully he did it, it was hard not to wonder whether he had done this kind of thing many times.

and so……

The smarter the person, the easier it is to come to a conclusion.

This wasn't Jack's first murder.

Obvious.

Killing people is wrong.

In other words, it should be wrong.

Hermione had tried to find the right reason in Neville and then apply it to Jack.

such……

At least, what Jack did was reasonable and not wrong.

However, she didn't get the answer she wanted.

And my heart became clogged.

What Neville said was that it was difficult for her to understand that feeling.

The original rescue target died in his arms.

Is that really unacceptable?

"Come, sit here with me." Jack patted the bedside and motioned for Hermione to come over.

The girl walked over as instructed and sat down.

Jack reached out, took Hermione's hand, and stroked it gently.

"You can tell me what it is about."

He admitted that tonight's experience had deviated a bit from his plan and exceeded his imagination.

The picture is a bit too exciting.

Hermione kept having hysterical breakdowns, and she was already considered mentally strong.

Don't be too harsh on her.After all calculations, she is just a 12-year-old girl.

This is not the world of Naruto, where you have to go to the battlefield and kill people at the age of three.

Hermione was not born in a war-torn area where war was raging and order was chaotic.

She was born in a country with stable social order, grew up in a wealthy middle-class family, and lived a good life.

Even if he was ridiculed by Draco on campus, it was only in words.

Where have I ever seen the real purgatory on earth?

Suddenly seeing such a scene, it is impossible not to have any psychological fluctuations.

Even people in their 30s and [-]s may not be able to do this kind of thing, let alone a child.

Likewise, Neville.

He originally planned to find a specialized psychological expert to look at the two of them tomorrow and help them with their possible psychological problems.

However, it seemed that Hermione couldn't sleep tonight.

He must be appeased first.

Jack did not force Hermione, but gently stroked her hand to relax her nervousness.

After a long time, Hermione asked: "Can I ask you some questions?"

"Of course." Jack responded gently.

"You can't lie to me." Hermione said solemnly, "If it's a part you don't want to answer, just say you can't answer it."

"When have I ever lied to you?" Jack still has a lot of experience with this kind of words, "Don't worry, I will only tell the truth no matter what."

"Hmm..." Hermione bit her lower lip lightly.

She stared at Jack.

"Neville...why can he kill people without changing his expression?"

This question was raised after she thought about it.

For her, the most unacceptable thing was not that Neville killed someone.Instead, Jack kills people, and looks expert at it.

Even disapprovingly.

Therefore, her most original purpose was to use Neville's behavior pattern to justify Jack's actions.

"About this..." Jack pondered for a moment, "Do you remember what Neville's family does?"

"Did he mention it?" Hermione frowned.

After thinking about it carefully, I didn't get an answer.

"I don't know," she said sincerely.

"Neville's parents are both Aurors." Jack said slowly, "They are fighters against dark wizards and the front line against evil..."

He was stating and explaining Hermione's doubts, and at the same time, he was also analyzing.

Neville's parents are both Aurors.

The Longbottom family is a serious pure-blood family with a comfortable life. They do not need to serve as Aurors and risk their lives to earn living expenses.

Becoming an Auror, in theory, stems from the sense of justice in their hearts.

That's why he chose to become a fighter specifically against dark wizards and uphold justice.

If the sense of justice can be engraved on DNA, then Neville, born from their union, should have a strong sense of justice.

The same is true.

Don't talk about the far ones, just talk about the near ones.

Jack, Neville and Hermione all discovered the tortured girl at the same time, leaving only one breath left.

Among the three, Neville was the first to act and the one who wanted to save people the most.

“Although Neville’s parents are elite Aurors and powerful, they are not invincible.

In the year after Voldemort's fall, they were besieged by Death Eaters and captured alive.

In the hands of Death Eaters, they were tortured continuously by the Cruciatus Curse, one of the three unforgivables, and lost their minds.

To this day, he is still being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

According to the doctor, they may not be able to recover in their lifetime and can only spend their whole lives being raised like ignorant children.

If your parents have experienced this, you should understand one thing. "

Jack's expression suddenly became serious.

"He didn't get any warmth or help from his parents, nor did he hear words of affection like my little baby."

Alive, but as if dead.

It's torture.

This is true both for Neville's parents and for Neville.

Maybe one day in the past, when Neville was bullied by other children, he also thought that it would be great if his father could help him seek justice.

Or there may be a mother who comforts him, gently pats the dirt off his body, and helps him treat his wounds.

However, all this can only be a fantasy.

Missing me day after day only breeds resentment.

For Death Eaters, for dark wizards, for evil.

"If he is just a mediocre person all his life, then that's it."

What about resentment?

If you can't even defeat the likes of Draco, how can you defeat real Death Eaters?

"But, he has power." Jack looked directly at Hermione.

It’s okay if you don’t have the strength, you don’t necessarily have the courage to even want to uphold justice.

But when you have the power.

It's just something else.

"In your eyes, he's killing someone."

With a sharp blade in his body, he will kill himself.

This is already the case for ordinary people, let alone Neville, whose heart is like a volcano.

For Neville, having power can not only uphold justice, but even redefine the standards of justice.

"In his eyes, maybe it's just eradicating evil."
