Presumably it was emotions that clouded his brain. He didn't know how he had walked through the hallway, how he had walked up the stairs, how he had ・・・・・・ anyway, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door of the school hospital

He stood here, hesitating for a long time. Knowing that Hermione's petrification was part of the plot, knowing that a potion made by a mandrake would soon restore her to her original state, knowing that handing it over to the savior Harry, he could still easily solve the matter in the end. I know all this so well.

But when you really face all this, you will still ・・・・・・

I thought that the hiding of the past ten years would make my endurance much stronger, and I would not be shocked when I faced all this, and just calmly reap the benefits I could reap. But・・・・・・

He pushed open the door of the school hospital and walked inside.

"Madam Pomfrey. He politely said, "My friend Hermione is petrified, can I go see her?"

"There is nothing to look at in petrified people. Madam Pomfrey said a little impatiently, it seems that she has been harassed many times by many people watching the excitement recently, and a series of accidents have made this invisible boss of Hogwarts a little anxious.

"She's my friend and I just want to see her. Joe was even surprised that his tone was a little sad, even a little pleading. "I knew she couldn't see anything, she couldn't feel anything. His voice was inexplicably a little hoarse, "but I can still feel that I ・・・・・・" a calm and eloquent Joe didn't know what to say at this time. It was as if something unknown was pressing down on his throat, and he just wanted to look at her quietly.

Suddenly, he heard Madam Pomfrey sigh, "It's all in vain!" and she said, "Forget it, go see her!"

"Thank you!" Joe replied simply, and then drifted to Hermione's hospital room as if sleepwalking, and slowly pushed open the door and walked in.

The neat hospital room was full of bright white, Hermione lay quietly on the white sheets, her skin turned bloodless white after being petrified, as if it was integrated with the whole ward, she held it with her right hand, and placed it on the white blanket, Jo knew that what she was holding in her hand was the key information she had investigated at the risk of her life, but he never wanted to touch it, he knew everything on it, leave it to Harry and Ron.

In addition to the bright white, there was also an old black in the ward - Professor McGonagall, he wore a black hat and a black robe, looking sadly at Hermione who was motionless on the bed, his eyes were full of tears, Professor McGonagall, who was usually strict and strong, looked so fragile at this time, looked as if he was several years old.

Seeing Joe, Professor McGonagall wiped her eyes with a handkerchief in a bit of panic, and she stared at Joe, her eyes red, and her lips pursed into a thin line that could not be thinner.

"I'm coming to see Hermione. Before Professor McGonagall could speak, Joe explained. "I just want to see her・・・・・・ just look at ・・・・・・ just look at her. He said a few words, a little incoherently.

Professor McGonagall stared into Joe's eyes, and there was self-reproach, sadness, and guilt・・・・・・ and suddenly her heart softened, and she spoke, and said in a strange, miserable voice, "I know that the hardest thing is a friend like you...... I understand, I'll tell Madam Pomfrey in a moment, you can watch it for as long as you want. ”

She didn't dare to look Jo in the eye anymore, and stood up and hurried away, Jo distinctly hearing Professor McGonagall blowing her nose behind her.

Joe walked over to the hospital bed and quietly looked at the petrified girl. Her expression was still at the moment before being petrified, her mouth was slightly open, her eyes were wide open, she looked surprised and desperate, under the effect of petrification, the eyes that were full of enthusiasm, sternness, and competitiveness in the past also looked hollow, cold, and faintly revealed a trace of fear. Joe cautiously stretched out his hand, but when his fingers touched the girl's cheek, he retracted his hand like lightning as if he had touched something terrible, it wasn't human skin at all, it was stone, cold, hard.

Am I really doing the right thing so far・・・・・・ Joe stared at the girl in deep thought. Is it a game or reality, is it a dream or reality, is it a fairy tale or a reality, but now it is reality, a reality that is really in front of you, without any falsehood.

Fear came like a tidal wave, my heart ached like a fire, what was I really doing, or what was I supposed to do?

If I was right before, why do I feel pain!

If I was right before, why did I feel fear!

What am I hurting, what am I fearing, what is the plot to me, what is reality to me!

"Love!" Suddenly, Joe felt his hand being held by a pair of warm soft wattles. "You're scared, you're scared!"

"Luna!" Joe immediately recognized the owner of the pair of soft wattles, and he looked back, and his eyes met the girl's silver-white eyes that looked like stars, and he tried to see something in them. But as with every previous attempt, he found nothing.

"I'm coming to see Hermione. "The girl looked at Joe, but she didn't see it," said Madam Pomfrey, who had been staring at her here for a long time. ”

"Yes, I didn't pay attention!" said Joe with a wry smile.

"What are you afraid of?" the girl asked softly again.

This time Joe didn't refuse, he opened his mouth and said slowly: "Future ・・・・・・ and my own ・・・・・・"

"My mom always says that what is lost is always found!" Luna always has an inexplicable look on her face every time she mentions her mother, "although the way to come back is always a little different from what we imagined. ”

"It's getting dark・・・・・・ but ・・・・・・ Luna・・・・・・ can you go out for a walk with me?"

"Hmm!"

The two walked slowly in the corridor of Hogwarts, not speaking, just quietly looking at the murals, armor, and holding hands around them, enjoying the temperature from each other's palms, and ・・・・・・, and freedom.

Good things always cleanse people's hearts!

Joe and Luna, past a beautiful stone statue of a witch, turned around the corner of the hallway, and in the shadow of the torches not far away, Joe saw a small figure.

The figure also saw Joe and Luna, and greeted them all, "Hey, Joe, Luna." You didn't go to the lobby for dinner?"

The figure walked over quickly, and Joe saw that it was Ginny Weasley, with her short stature and beautiful red hair.

Joe suddenly felt Luna's hand clench!
