"Of course. ”

Hermione squinted at Ethan, and she could sense that Ethan was hesitant to say this, so she pressed on.

"Since I'm friends, shouldn't there be too many secrets between them?"

"What do you want to know?"

Ethan knew that Hermione had doubts about her identity.

"Are you really from an ordinary family?"

"It's not. ”

Ethan simply admitted that he was not ordinary, he used a fake identity just to infiltrate Hogwarts, and he was honest for more than half a year, and then he did whatever he wanted, not minding that his true identity was discovered and detected.

The reason for not telling Hermione and the others is simple, because they didn't ask before.

Hermione opened her mouth, her little head wondering why Ethan had hidden his identity and entered Hogwarts.

"Does Professor Dumbledore know?"

But she quickly got to the point.

"Of course I do. ”

Hearing this, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, Dumbledore knew Ethan's identity, which could prove that Ethan was not a bad person - but there was no way to really be sure, because these were all said by Ethan, what if Ethan lied to her?

To believe or not to believe? Hermione decided to believe Ethan first.

As she said before, she regarded Ethan as a friend, and she was willing to believe what Ethan said in her heart.

"So, who are you?"

She finally asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.

Miss Know-It-All holds a book when she has nothing to do, and she has a certain understanding of various situations in the wizarding world, and she has realized that Ethan's identity is definitely not simple.

Being able to defeat a dragon with ease is something that many adult wizards find difficult to do, and she even suspects that Ethan actually used some potion to disguise himself as a child to enter Hogwarts (the truth).

Considering Dumbledore knew Ethan's identity, could it be ......

"Is it and...... Is that person related?"

Hermione would never be afraid to say Voldemort's name, and she didn't say it here, because she was worried that it was in the hallway of the school, and there were a lot of people coming and going, for fear of being heard by others.

"Sort of. ”

Ethan himself was too lazy to deal with Voldemort, but now he and Dumbledore had a tacit understanding, and considering what was going to happen next, he really had to meet Voldemort face to face for the last time.

Hermione looked left and right, a 'I understand' look on her face, and instead of dwelling on the question, she began to ask about other things.

"Your real name is Ethan Arendelle?"

"My name is really Ethan. ”

"Arendelle?"

"Casual surname. ”

Hermione looked at Ethan curiously, "What's your real last name?"

"Nope. ”

"No, how could it not?" Hermione couldn't understand what Ethan meant, wondering if he didn't want to say it at all.

"Why can't it, not only do I not have it, but Skaha doesn't have a surname. ”

Hermione opened her mouth, and a question suddenly occurred to her: "Are you all ......?"

"There are still some differences, Rin and Leah are real children, and Illya's actual age may be a little older than she looks like in appearance, but not much older. ”

Hermione's mind began to mess up, and she found that the identity of Ethan's group was covered with layers of fog, and her inner curiosity was completely aroused, and she desperately wanted to cut through the fog and know all the hidden information.

I turned my head and looked around, trying to find a suitable place to talk, but I found that there were a bunch of students in most places at this time, and Ethan had been in the limelight lately, so he would attract attention wherever he went, and it was quite difficult to talk quietly.

"Come with me. ”

Ethan knew what she wanted to do, and beckoned her to follow him.

It only took a moment for Hermione to recognize where Ethan was going.

"Professor Snape's office?"

"Yes. ”

"Why go there?"

"Aren't you looking for a place where no one will disturb you? I can't think of a better place to be. ”

In the entire Hogwarts house, Professor Snape is definitely the most disliked professor by students, he has a cold face all day long and is extremely strict with grades, he is the embodiment of the devil in the eyes of students, even Slytherin students are in awe of him.

So Snape's office was an absolute no-go place for the students, and no one would come to this place with enough to eat, not even willing to come close - for fear of being caught by Snape.

"But ......," Hermione immediately understood the point, "Professor Snape knows, too?"

"Of course I know, otherwise how would I have gained so much convenience?"

As soon as Ethan said this, Hermione immediately understood why Ethan was living so comfortably in Slytherin, almost having whatever he wanted, and even if he didn't listen to the class, Snape never criticized him, it turned out that Snape was also an insider.

"No wonder. ”

When he came to Snape's office, Snape was about to go out, and when he saw Ethan, he was stunned, and was about to ask Ethan if he had anything to find him, and then he saw Hermione coming with him.

Putting on the usual cold face, Professor Snape, the first acting school at Hogwarts, took a posture as if he was usually facing a student.

"What's the matter?"

"Borrow your office for it. Then he waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to pretend, "Hermione has sensed my identity." ”

"That's right. ”

Although his expression did not change much, Snape's temperament and tone of voice immediately changed, and this change made Hermione wonder if she was dazzled.

I was thinking that maybe I was mistaken, when I saw Snape reopen the office, and then respectfully stepped aside and invited Ethan in.

“......”

Hermione followed Ethan into the office sluggishly, then heard the door close behind her, and turned around to find that Snape hadn't come in.

“......”

Turning back again, Ethan casually sat down in the chair behind his desk, and motioned for Hermione to sit casually, as if this were his office.

"Tea?"

"No thanks. ”

Seeing Ethan skillfully beckoning, the tea set that was quietly placed in the cabinet automatically flew out, and then began to brew hot tea as if someone was operating.

When Hermione sat down, Ethan spread his hands.

"Whatever you want to ask, I promise I won't hide it. ”

Hermione sat down in her chair as if it were uncomfortable, first moved it slightly, then flipped her leg to the other side, and then changed it back in less than two seconds, and finally finally asked her own question as if she had made up her mind.

"Who the hell are you?"

It's almost the same question as before, but this time it means something different.

Hermione would ask this question again because she had been thinking about it in her head for a long time, and after thinking about it, she found that she didn't know where to start, and in the end, she could only ask again.

"It's not a good question to answer, it depends on what you want to know, who I am, where I stand, or something else?"

"Identity!"

"A mage who is on his way to becoming a god and has achieved a little bit of success so far—in short, a slightly more powerful mage. ”

Ethan briefly described his identity, but the adjectives he had before made Hermione open her mouth wide and couldn't close it.

"Become a god?"

That's not what shocked her the most, but the next sentence 'achieved a little result' is even more shocking, okay?

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"Nope. ”

Hermione looked at Ethan's face, still a little unable to believe what Ethan said.

"It's normal for you not to believe it, in fact, you can accept the gods as a kind of existence with powerful magical powers, and its own life form has also evolved, with stronger qualities and powers, and a longer lifespan. ”

"I still can't believe it. Hermione rubbed her cheeks, she always opened her mouth in surprise today, and her cheeks hurt a little: "If you tell me now that you made it up to lie to me, maybe I would have found it easier to accept." ”

"But what I said was true. ”

Continuing to rub her face, Hermione had a 'I've given up' expression.

"Is there anything else that would shock me?"

"I'm not from this world, does this count?"

"Walter?"

After briefly explaining his origins, Ethan looked at Hermione, who had fallen into a sluggish state, calmly took a sip of hot tea, and complained that Snape's taste was really bad enough.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Hermione eased up a little, and in an instant, so much information poured into the brain that crashed that finally returned to normal, she stared at Ethan with wide eyes, and kept thinking about some of the details that had happened in the past few years together, and found that many things that would make people feel a little strange all had reasonable explanations.

For example, except for Ethan's guardian, the guardians of the other classmates have never appeared, and no one has ever contacted them.

Logan leaves very abruptly - because he had had enough of playing and doesn't want to come back.

She also understands why Rin Tosaka often comes up with strange magical theories, and why she has good theoretical results in the first place, but always has problems when it comes to practical operation.

Skaha is very good at runivan...... Because she's the legendary Skaha?

The truth turned out to be like this.

"That's really ...... It's hard to believe. ”

The person who thought he was a friend and classmate had such an amazing identity, and compared with this information, Ethan said that he was striding on the road to becoming a god, which didn't seem so unbelievable.

"So...... Your goal as you travel around and learn all sorts of things is to become a god?"

Ethan touched the teacup that was still warm, looked at Hermione, whose worldview was collapsing, and still stepped on the ruins.

"In a sense, I'm now. ”
