On that special platform in London, the Hogwarts Express train stopped at the platform, and the little wizards got off the train either together or alone with their salutes, and most of them looked a little flustered until they saw their parents who came to pick them up.

Most of the parents with one or both wizards left the platform directly with their children. They looked dignified, and when they met familiar friends, they just nodded to each other and occasionally communicated briefly, and they didn't plan to stay for a long time.

And those Muggle-born little wizards could only pass through the magical wall together, and when they stood in the crowded London Station again, they were all relieved because of the familiar and ignorant noise around them. .

The wizarding world is turned upside down.

If the Dark Mark on the Quidditch World Cup is just some disgusting pranks of some leftovers from the Death Eaters, then the Dark Demon on the ruins of the Ramirez Manor that took a lot of effort to eliminate the Ministry of Magic There is no way to simply remove the mark.

The strangest thing is that after making such a move, the people behind the scenes did not make any moves, which made the argument of the Dark Lord's comeback declaration, which was raging, questioned again and again, and even caused a long period of refutation.

Although such rebuttals will not be issued by ordinary people, most people have already made their own judgments in their hearts, and anxiety has swept the entire British magic world. Many people would rather believe that this is just a conspiracy of diehards than believe that The Dark Lord is still alive.

Look, there's no vandalism other than that Ramirez estate, is there?

The last descendant of the Ramirez family was in the sixth grade at Hogwarts. Although she was an adult at the beginning of winter, she was still a student after all. She was already studying when the incident happened. There were no humans in the manor except elves.

In other words, such an act of destruction, such a terrifying Dark Mark, ended up without any bloodshed.

Many people think so, hoping that things will be better.

Because there was no follow-up action, the Triwizard Tournament, which had been proposed to be cancelled, finally came to an end.In the maze, the four warriors entered separately, and after going through a test of both wisdom and strength, it was Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter who won the trophy together.

They got the rewards smoothly, the Hogwarts students cheered for the warriors, and even the Slytherins who were originally aimed at Harry Potter hardly made any opposing voices.

In fact, the atmosphere of the Slytherins was weird afterwards.Whether it is the Dark Lord or the Death Eaters, they are too deeply involved with Slytherin, and the destroyed Ramirez family is a very orthodox Slytherin family—although it has fallen to many little wizards and even unheard of— But this is an irrefutable fact.

Meanwhile, the last member of Ramirez, the Slytherin prefect, disappeared after this incident.

Although some professors confirmed that Lincos Ramirez had submitted a procedural suspension application to the school, no one knew where she had gone.

"Hermione, my little princess, what's worrying you?" Mr. Granger asked while driving.

There was a hint of concern in his voice, and when he picked up his daughter from the London station, he noticed that her daughter was in a bad mood. The daughter who would have been chirping like a canary and telling him about the magical life in school didn't say anything. talk.

Both he and his wife knew about the school year through letters, that the school had put on a terrific competition, and it was certainly impossible to have nothing to say.So what happened?

Hermione came back to her senses, met Mr. Granger's gaze through the rearview mirror, and finally said with some annoyance, "Dad, I don't know what to say."

Until now, she still feels that thinking of Linkos makes her heart feel messed up.

"Okay, we'll be home soon, maybe you'd like to chat with me?" Mr. Granger's voice was very gentle. His daughter has always had ideas since she was a child, and Hermione is no longer the little girl she used to be. It's been a year since I saw her, and she has grown a lot.

This conversation at the Grangers' house started after Hermione arrived home and ate the lunch carefully prepared by Mrs. Granger.

It wasn't that the Grangers were eager to start this topic. In fact, they had originally advised their daughter to rest for a while, but Hermione had obviously made up her mind and hoped to start as soon as possible, perhaps with some help from her parents.

Mrs. Granger made a cup of tea for everyone, and Hermione held the teacup in her hand, and said what she had already thought about and prepared.

"It's a friend of mine at Hogwarts, good friend." She licked her dry lips and took a sip of tea, "Her home was destroyed by a dark wizard, like the Italian Mafia, or maybe It was his men who ruined it. After that, she applied for a leave of absence, and I was very worried about her."

Hermione briefly talked about the matter, and in order to express her thoughts clearly, she also made some supplements before and after, and she kept her head down during the process of speaking.

"...But besides worry, I think I probably still have anger." Hermione thought for a while, and said with some confusion, "I would be very worried when I think of where she is and what she is doing now, but when I think of myself, I am worried." , I feel angry again, I don’t think I can tell what I’m angry about.”

Seeing their daughter's annoyed look, the Grangers couldn't help but exchange glances, seeing surprise and worry in each other's eyes.

Mrs. Granger thought for a while and asked, "Hermione, can you tell us about the Christmas ball you prepared earlier..." At that time, Mrs. Granger took her husband to read the letter after receiving her daughter's request for help. , carefully prepared the dress for her daughter.At that time, they thought that their daughter would suddenly care about their appearance, probably because they had a boy they liked.

Hearing her mother's sudden question, Hermione was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, she nodded very firmly: "It's her."

The Grangers didn't know what to say for a while, they never thought that their daughter would give them such an unexpected "surprise".

Granger showed a worried look, and wanted to say something more, but Mr. Granger temporarily held his shoulder to stop him.

Mr. Granger looked at Hermione who didn't pay attention to these movements, and asked in a deep voice: "Hermione, you are so worried, is it because the dark wizard you said is very dangerous?"

Hermione hesitated for a moment, but still nodded with her lips pursed.She has reduced the description in this aspect when she narrated, but her parents still noticed it.

"I think you also know what we're going to say." Mr. Granger tried his best to calm himself down, and he looked at Hermione, "You have been very independent since you were a child, and your mother and I are proud of you for that."

Dad's serious attitude made Hermione also seriously respond: "I know Dad, there are indeed some dangers involved, but we are all safe within the scope of Hogwarts, after all, we are all underage children. A wizard is a very precious existence in the magic world."

Hermione used to care about the contempt of those called Mudbloods, but with the growth of knowledge and ability, she has long been able to face these calmly, and then fight back unceremoniously.Therefore, she never mentioned these terrible things to her parents.

"And a very good partner of mine—that's Harry, as I mentioned before—that wizard has some, uh, entanglements with him, and I think I can help him." Hermione said frankly Thoughts, he hesitated for a while after speaking, "What's more, this happened again..."

After talking in a circle, I still came back.

Mr. Granger thought for a moment, then raised his hand and touched Hermione's head: "You value your friends, and your parents support you, but you must also remember that you are our most important little princess, and none of us would like to see You are hurt."

Hermione's nose was a little sore, she nodded quickly: "I will pay attention to safety."

Mrs. Granger glared at her husband, but seeing Hermione like this, she finally softened her heart: "Although my little Hermione said that she couldn't figure it out, she actually figured it out, didn't she?"

"Mom..." Hermione raised her head and looked at Mrs. Granger in a daze. She knew that the information she had revealed was enough for her parents to think of that possibility, but she didn't expect that she didn't ask any questions at all.

Mrs. Granger's expression was very gentle: "We trust you, Hermione, trust your judgment, and are willing to support your decision. Our only requirement is that you be safe and happy."

Hermione nodded, with a warm heart: "I won't be impulsive, Dad, Mom." She stood up and hugged her parents.

Although this conversation didn't sound like anything, the unconditional support and eternal love of parents made Hermione's anxious heart relax a little.

Of course she should be angry!Now she can think clearly why she is angry, and she can even think about what may happen next and the measures she will take!

As long as Linkos appears properly, she will always settle things with Linkos.

After confirming that his daughter was cheered up, and watching her go back to her room, Mr. Granger suddenly felt bitter.

He looked at his wife, but she got a blank stare: "Mr. Granger is quite generous, he stopped me right away."

Mr. Granger smiled wryly and quickly apologized: "I'm also worried about my daughter."

"I'm not worried anymore." Mrs. Granger sat down on the chair, "Now I regret that I promised Hermione to let her go to a magic school. Hermione is so smart that she can live well anywhere. "

"It's useless to think about it now." Mr. Granger hugged his wife, "As you said, we all trust Hermione."

I have to say that this is the most sincere thought of the Grangers now. As Hermione is getting more and more used to the magic world, they never thought that in the near future, Hermione's life will be farther and farther away from them ?

"Although I expected Hermione to stay in the wizarding world, I didn't expect that there would be a short-sighted little guy coveting my daughter so soon!" Mr. Granger couldn't help muttering angrily, "Hermione How big is it! If you let me see it, see if I-"

"What do you want?" Mrs. Granger looked at her husband and said amusedly, "Don't forget, that is a girl, just like your daughter." Thinking of this, she sighed, and finally decided to temporarily Don't think about it yet, "The daughter of El's family next door is only 12 years old, so she already has two boyfriends."

At Hermione's age, it's not uncommon for children to fall in love nowadays. When it happened at the Christmas ball, they were still enthusiastically guessing what kind of boy it was.Smart, polite, and maybe a good look - a very important plus for a young girl, who should also like to read as much as Hermione, and is very knowledgeable.

Faced with this painful fact, Mr. Granger had to admit that he could teach a kid a lesson, but he couldn't do it to a girl.

Mr. Granger, who has always held Hermione in his palm, is an elegant gentleman. He really can't do anything rough or even just show his face to a woman.

In the next few days, the Granger family returned to the most unusual calm.

Hermione didn't seem to be too troubled. Apart from receiving the Daily Prophet brought by the owl on time every day and paying attention to the trends in the wizarding world, she just helped with housework, spent happy time with her parents, and read books.

She is now almost completely devoted to learning the knowledge of spells, with a hunger and thirst.Whether as Harry's friend or as Linkos, she felt that she had to master more knowledge.

Underage wizards are not allowed to use magic in the Muggle world. Hermione can only write down the theoretical knowledge first, and then practice hard when she returns to school.

Such days are very fulfilling, and Hermione is relieved by the daily reports in the Daily Prophet as usual.

It was on such an ordinary night that Hermione finished her day's study tasks, and when she walked to the window to look at the starry sky, she noticed something unusual.

The author has something to say: This is almost a transitional chapter...

=-= In order to make everyone not worry, Bai Ye extracted some of Linkos' experiences during the period, and then explained them in the form of interludes, so the two will meet again in the next chapter!
