Chapter 34: The Friendship Forged
Hermione thought for a long time under Brandy's amused gaze, but finally she didn't remember anything, she only vaguely felt that the name was familiar, but she had read too many books to make out that the name appeared in the book.
"Give me a few days and I'll be sure I'll find out where the book is...... I can swear I only saw the name the other day. ”
"It's okay, it's okay~ Isn't it just a matter of one person's name...... Besides, even if you found it, it would have happened more than forty years ago, and I think that Wright and his companions really found any treasures, and they should have been emptied a long time ago~" Brandi wasn't curious at all. He put the pill bottle on the bedside table for the time being. "Don't be so concerned, why don't you just go to that classroom with me when you have that time, I think you'll be interested in magic that seals a space outside the real world. The last time I practiced magic, I deliberately attacked the wall, which was all enchanted, and the mark was restored on its own in less than a few minutes! ”
"So, you played disappearing at every turn some time ago, just going to that place to contact magic? No wonder it's suddenly so powerful that even that kind of high-level spell can be unleashed. ”
It's really hard to hear any compliments from Hermione's mouth, and Hermione has always been a partner in class, as if every time I practice, what I hear is my own shortcomings and improvements, and Brandi is really a little embarrassed to come to this point. He touched his nose a little shyly......
"Actually, when I first practiced this spell, it didn't work so well, but this time, I don't know how it became so strong, I didn't even think of it, how to say? It was as if the wand had let me go at the critical moment, and I barely felt the magic pass when I said the last spell...... Well, maybe this wand of mine is also very discerning, knowing that I am to protect you, so I specially saved some face~ If I really didn't defeat the troll, then we would have a lot of fun......"
Hermione's mind went blank when she heard "Protect you (you = you in English)", and she barely heard a word of what Brandi said later, she only felt that her body was light, as if she was walking on clouds. It was as if her heart was being clutched by something, and she felt a little out of breath.
“…… When I'm well recovered this time, I'll show you once, but don't be too disappointed, the power of the original version will definitely be much weaker than this one! ”
(To protect me............ )
“…… Huh? Hermione, Hermione? Are you listening? You're red-faced, do you want Madam Pomfrey to take a look? ”
Brandi looked at Hermione, whose face was flushed and she didn't know what she was thinking, and couldn't help but say something.
"Yikes!" With an exclamation, Hermione woke up from her imagination and saw Brandy, who was approaching with a concerned face, intending to touch her forehead to see if she had a fever...
"That's... I suddenly remembered... It is... In short, something... Ah! I'll go first! ”
A red-faced Hermione pulled Brandy's hand away and fled like a rabbit............
???
Brandi stared suspiciously in the direction of Hermione's departure, a little confused......
(Am I talking about that profound...... Tired of even listening to the first grade? )
He shook his head and picked up the medicine bottle on the cabinet...... The black asphalt was still bubbling and bubbling. "Oh God...... If I go down this bite, I'll probably die......"
He swallowed hard and steadied himself, because there was no way to pinch his nose with his other hand, so he could only tilt his head and suffocate like this. It's just too bad...... The agent was slimy, like a slug boiled to a pulp... The bitter and astringent flavor is accompanied by a rich aroma like burnt plastic that blooms on Brandi's taste buds... He drank it with difficulty, only to feel a burst of overturning in his stomach.
Forcing himself to drink the bottle of black paste, Brandi casually placed the bottle on the cabinet and fell headlong...... His left hand was waving in the air, his expression distorted as if he was about to drown for help.
Subsequently...... Madam Pomfrey pushed the door open and entered.
"Oh? Gryffindor's little lion is really brave~ At least I don't have to worry about drinking medicine...... I was just wondering if I could add some honey to feed you, but the little girl who just walked out said you don't need this. She winked at Brandy, a narrow smile. Looks like you're having an awkward fall out with your little girlfriend? ”
"Vomit...... Don't talk nonsense, Hermione didn't ...... Vomit, little girlfriend......" Brandi only felt that the world was spinning, all his internal organs were entangled, and his disgusting cold sweat flowed. What made him even more uncomfortable was his right arm, the power of the potion seemed to work instantly, and he only felt that his right hand suddenly felt like he was being placed on the grill...... He stared at his right hand in horror and noticed that it was getting weird, like a ...... A lump of rubber?
"This ...... What is this? ”
"Hey~ I just said that you quarreled with your little girlfriend...... Or she wouldn't even tell you this? Madam Pomfrey pulled out her wand with unusual skill. The bones in your hands are melting now, and I will probably spend more than an hour helping you reshape them, do you have any special needs? ”
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"For example, you can make your middle finger a little longer, hmm~ I think maybe you'll need this ...... in the future"
I don't know why, the disgusted and sweaty Brandi obviously didn't understand Pomfrey's advice, but she still detected a full of malice in her seemingly sincere words......
"You can pull it down...... Vomit...... I think I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to throw up! ”
"Oh, that's a pity." Hearing that his friendly offer was actually rejected, the smile immediately disappeared from Madam Pomfrey's face.
"Fainted."
She waved her wand, and the red spell struck Brandi. He rolled his eyes and fainted cleanly.
………………
Hermione blushed and returned to the common room, but she didn't expect to catch up with the end of dinner, the room was noisy, everyone was eating the food that was served, she wanted to find a remote corner to sit down, but she didn't expect to see Parvati standing up from a distance and waving to her excitedly...... She had left a seat for Hermione. Harry and Ron were across from her, looking a little unnatural, but also smiling at her.
A stream of heat suddenly fell from the top of his head and flowed straight into his heart.
Hermione walked briskly forward and sat down beside Parvati. She saw Parvati glancing at Ron and seeing that he was still struggling with what he was thinking, she stomped on him on her toes.
"Hmm!" Ron suddenly looked flustered, and he looked up expectantly to see that everyone was staring at him, so he blushed and stammered to Hermione. "I'm so sorry...... Hermione, I, I mean...... Thank you for saving me! ”
………… Hermione was stunned for a moment, then she burst out laughing.
Hermone smiled so happily, her bright eyes bent into two crescents, and at this time, everyone found out for the first time that Hermione was actually very good-looking when she smiled. She looked at Ron, who seemed too nervous to speak.
"It's nothing~ We're friends, aren't we~"
Ron's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this.
Immediately afterwards none of them looked at the other, but at the same time picked up their forks and ate their belated dinner.
Originally, Hermione wanted to lecture a little about Ron alone snatching the credit that should have belonged to Brandi, this person really can't even speak, obviously it is mainly Brandi's credit, how does it sound like he was clever and knocked out other trolls with a stick!
But well......
(Miss Ben is in a good mood today, and Brandi probably won't like me and my friends arguing, huh!) I'll just let you go) The corners of Hermione's mouth curled in a cheerful arc, and she poked the roasted potato in front of her with her fork in high spirits. He hummed an unknown tune in his mouth.
"Lalala...... Blondie...... Hee-hee! ”
"Ahh
Thousands of miles away in the hospital room, Brandi, who was cold, hungry and nauseous, sneezed, and then he looked at his arm, which was a little deformed by a sneeze. Want to cry without tears......
Ahhh Who is this who is thinking about me at this time!
…………
"Madam Pomfrey...... My arm seems to be bent... Also, if you have anything to eat, chocolate is fine! ”
Half an hour later, there was a cry from a defeated dog in the ward.
From that day on, Hermione Granger became Harry's friend. When you go through an event with someone, you can't help but build affection and trust between you, and knocking out a twelve-foot tall troll is one such event. What, you say Brandi? Needless to say? They have been there for a long time!
