Although Hermione was a strict teacher, Ning An had to admit that she could really teach her students well, and with Hermione's help, Ning An's grades in the history of magic improved by leaps and bounds, which made him finally not have to worry about repeating a grade because he failed this class.

Harry and Ron also often come to the library to look for them, and Ning An noticed that the three of them seemed to be looking for some information, and Hermione wanted to tell Ning An, but Ron stopped her.

However, Ning An probably guessed that they should be collecting information related to Nicolemel or the Philosopher's Stone. But Ning An didn't want to ask, nor did he intend to tell them anything. Anyway, I don't plan to intervene in this matter, and a few people can solve it perfectly in the end, so why bother.

However, Ning An soon noticed that Hermione seemed to be in trouble. She would always be stunned from time to time when she was revising, Harry and Ron would come over to discuss something with her, and even Malfoy would sneak over with her sometimes.

"Has anything happened lately?" In the library at noon that day, Ning An casually asked Hermione, who was sitting next to him.

"Ah......? It's not ......" Hermione was caught off guard by the sudden question, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she didn't want to deceive Ning An, who was a friend in her heart.

"Something to do with Malfoy?" Ning An turned a page of the book, which recorded the history of the werewolf and wizard wars. He turned to look at Hermione and said with a smile:

"If there's anything you need help with, I think you can trust me."

Hermione looked at Ning An's eyes, which were dark and deep, and she realized that she had never found that her black pupils were so beautiful, and she blushed subconsciously, and then she fell into a struggle again.

It wasn't her alone, what Harry and Ron would think if she had told Ning'an, she remembered that Ron seemed to have always complained about Ning'an's Slytherin status.

Ning An didn't continue to ask, just looked at Hermione with a smile, he had already forgotten that he was asking Hermione about it at this time, but Ning An, who had been looking at Hermione since just now, suddenly found that this girl's struggling thinking appearance was a little charming.

The long unkempt and thick hair added a touch of laziness to her, making this serious young lady look less rigid, and although she was still a little girl, her big eyes were already emitting a hint of wisdom.

Although there are also a lot of beautiful girls around, whether it is Daphne, who is lively and quirky, or Calidora, who has recently become taciturn, or even Qiu Zhang, who meets and chats at school from time to time, they are all very beautiful girls.

But Hermione, who was sitting next to Ning An at this time, gave him a strange feeling, calm and serene, as if he was sitting with his doll in the afternoon drinking tea and enjoying the sun.

"Bah" Ning An shook his head vigorously and shuddered, how could he imagine Hermione as a doll

"I'm not a pervert." He hurriedly read silently in his heart.

Hermione was in a tangle, and she didn't notice that Ning An had been looking at her, and when she made up her mind to raise her head, she saw Ning An closing her eyes, silently muttering something.

"Ning'an ......?" Hermione whispered to him

"Ahh Oh, Hermione," Ning Ann hurriedly withdrew from her autosuggestion, forgetting the strange idea of imagining the girl in front of her as her own doll and looked at Hermione with a smile

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something."

"I think I do need your help." Hermione said resolutely

"Huh? - Of course, I'm willing to help. Ning An didn't expect Hermione to be so direct, he paused for a moment, and then agreed with a smile.

"Phew—" As if to tell him a long story, Hermione took a deep breath, turned sideways to face him, then leaned a little closer, and said in a low voice:

"You might be a little surprised that this is the way it is."

"Hmm...... The caretaker of the hunting grounds - Hagrid, he is Harry and our friend" Hermione whispered, her wide-eyed eyes wide:

"He recently got a dragon."

"Wow, a dragon?" Ning An exclaimed with some exaggerated exclamation, but he had already thought in his heart that it was probably the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon, Noble.

Hermione seemed to be under a lot of pressure, she didn't know if her decision was right this time, but she somehow wanted to believe in Ning An very much, and she was willing to believe in Ning An, but after finally saying it, her mood was still very complicated.

"Yes...... Hagrid hatched it out of the dragon egg, and since it was now getting bigger and bigger, we were going to send it away...... Sent to the care of Ron's older brother, who was studying dragons in Romania. ”

"Well, I don't know where I can help?" Ning An asked sincerely, if there was anything he needed help, he was willing to help, if nothing else, just for Hermione's kindness of helping him with the history of magic every day, he felt that it was enough.

"Malfoy—" Hermione whispered a name she hated

"Draco? Malfoy overheard what we were saying, and he followed us to find Norber, oh, the dragon Hagrid raised. ”

She paused, then continued, "And Ron accidentally sandwiched his correspondence with Charlie in a book lent to Malfoy, so now Malfoy knows when we're going to send Noble away." ”

"I see." Ning An smiled and said, "I just need to help deal with Malfoy, right?" ”

"Well, don't worry, I can help you come up with a plan, you're both Slytherins, just keep him in his dorm or common room that night." Hermione saw that Ning An agreed, so she said happily.

"Don't worry about me, I have a way to get him, and since you don't like him, I can still give him a big." Ning An smiled and said:

"But you, how do you send a dragon away at night?"

Hermione was not surprised that Ning An refused her attention, in her impression Ning An has always been a very capable and assertive person, and it is not a problem to solve Malfoy's thoughts, she relaxed and whispered to Ning An

"Harry has an invisibility cloak that can make us invisible, and we can put Noble away in a cloak." After speaking, she flashed her big eyes curiously, looked at Ning An and asked:

"How are you going to make Malfoy deflated?"

"Haha, what a coincidence," Ning An laughed, "I also happen to be invisible, so I'm going to let Malfoy and Professor McGonagall meet." With that, he pulled out his wand and nodded at the history book in front of him, and the whole book disappeared from the table.

"It's ......!" Hermione reached out in surprise and felt to the place where the book on the table had once been. The tactile feel of the pages fed back to her fingertips, making her sure there was still a book lying quietly there.

"It's not vanishing...... Could it be- the Illusion Spell?! Hermione looked at Ning An incredulously, and she exclaimed in a low voice:

"I've seen it in the book, it's the Aurors using a spell, you're only in the first grade, how did you master it?" Covering her mouth slightly, Hermione was a little unconvinced that there was someone so gifted in spells.

Ning An's wooden stick that used the disarming spell to fly the troll before, made Hermione feel that Ning An's attainment in magic spells was very high, but she couldn't imagine that the other party was obviously only a first-year student like herself, how could he master such a complex spell.

Hermione's heart instantly flooded with a trace of jealousy for Ning An's talent, and at the same time a trace of admiration, Ning An was the only student in the whole grade who could surpass her in the three classes of Transfiguration, Charms, and Potions, which made her have a strange emotion for Ning An, the two were both friends and rivals, and at the same time secretly admired each other and learned from each other.

"Hard practice, you know, is no different from the acquisition of most knowledge." Ning An said with a smile.

"But there's no denying that you're extraordinarily gifted." Hermione laughed too.

"Okay, don't talk about this," Ning An cleared his throat and said with a wicked smile:

"So I'm going to lure Professor McGonagall over while Malfoy is looking for you at night, and you have the Cloak of Invisibility and they can't catch you, so only poor Malfoy will be punished."

"Hmm...... Although I don't agree with breaking the school rules, I'm glad you can help us this time, Ning An. Hermione's eyes lit up, and she looked at Ning An seriously and said.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, Hermione, we're friends, aren't we? And Harry, Ron, we're all friends, aren't we? Ning An shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.

——————————————————————————

The day flew by, and at dinner time, Ning An, Daphne and Calidora gathered at the Slytherin table. Because of the revision, the three of them have only stayed together for breakfast and dinner recently, and Ning An told the two of them about the actions he was going to carry out at night.

"I'd like to tease that Malfoy idiot, too." Daphne bit down on her spoon and said, "It must be fun to see him caught by Professor McGonagall." ”

"It's just a small action, and it's easy to have accidents when there are too many people." Ning An said casually

"I know, I know, then the training for the night will be over."

"Well, let's cancel the next night's practice, I think my history of magic has been reviewed, and the next time until the end of the semester will only be training during the day, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough wisdom enhancement potions."

The potions Snape had given him long ago, but fortunately, with the increase in mental power, they no longer needed to use the potions as often as before.

Daphne and Calydora nodded, and Daphne exhaled lightly, joking that staying up late was making her hair worse.

In this way, the time quickly came to the day when Harry had agreed to send off Norber, and Ning An found that Malfoy had been particularly excited since he had been in the Slytherin common room at night.

In the middle of the night, when Crabbe and Goyle's snoring was loud, he felt someone gently push open the door to his dorm room.

Ning An got out of bed, and sure enough, he found that Malfoy's bed was empty, he smiled lightly, pulled out his wand, and cast a phantom spell on himself, as if a cold liquid was poured from his head to his feet, and Ning An disappeared into the air.
