Hermione herself knew that it was rude to look each other in the eye all the time.

But the deep eyes that shone with the light of the stars made her very curious.

What kind of environment is it that makes him have these eyes that people can't forget.

"Hello, Hermione. I'm lost, do you know how to get around St. Mary's Orphanage? ”

Arthur looked calmly, the Hermione who was slightly different from the one he portrayed in the novel.

Seeing the book on her chest again, I knew what she was doing.

Afterglow fell on one of Hermione's cheeks, staining her white, delicate skin with a red cloud.

When she heard the boy in front of her ask about St. Mary's Orphanage, her first reaction was whether the other party was an orphan.

I couldn't help but blurt out, "St. Mary's Orphanage? Are you an orphan? ”

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." But soon Hermione realized that her words might hurt the boy's heart, and quickly apologized.

"It's okay, it's nothing."

In the face of Hermione's sincere apology, Arthur shook his head, indicating that he did not feel offended by her words.

Hermione looked at Arthur's expression carefully, she didn't understand why a lost orphan was so calm.

It's not like kids of the same age at all!

"St. Mary's Orphanage, I haven't heard of it... Otherwise, you come home with me, my mom should know. She is a devout Catholic. ”

Hermione hadn't really heard of St. Mary's Orphanage, but she couldn't bear to disappoint the boy in front of her.

She decided to take him home first... Perhaps the mother knew about St. Mary's Orphanage.

After all, St. Mary's, this one sounds like the name of a church.

Because no institution that has nothing to do with the church will use the word "holy" at the beginning of its name.

"Well, then I... Well? Thank you, kind Hermione. Someone came to pick me up. Bye-bye~"

Arthur heard Hermione invite him to her house and was about to agree.

But then an elderly figure appeared next to the bench in front of him.

Seeing that Dumbledore had found him, Arthur quickly changed his words, thanked Hermione for his kindness, and walked towards Dumbledore.

"Bye-bye... Well? You haven't told me your name yet! ”

When Arthur passed by, Hermione suddenly realized that she didn't know the boy's name.

Although it is likely that he will not meet again in the future, such a different boy meets him, and he does not know his name.

Hermione felt that she would have regrets in her heart.

"Arthur, Arthur Pendragon!"

Arthur turned his head, a rare smile on his calm face.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, his deep eyes shone with brilliant stars.

"Arthur Pendragon? Why is it that name again..."

Before the boy's back could dissipate from her mind, Hermione quickly silently read the boy's name in her mind.

Suddenly, she frowned slightly. Isn't that the name the same abominable author she just cursed?

"It should be a coincidence, after all, he is an orphan, and it is normal to get this name in the orphanage."

Hermione quickly shook her head, and the shawl hair that had just been tidied up was unkempt again.

She didn't want to believe that the orphan named Arthur was the author of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

His eyes were so deep that they were like a galaxy of life.

That innocent face, friendly and gentle smile, must not be that nasty author!

With this in mind, Hermione walked back to her home with the book in hand.

Sunset, when Hermione accompanied her parents to dinner.

She hurried back to her bedroom, and with some impatience came to her desk, and before she could sit down.

He pulled out the book "Hogwarts: A School History" from the neat bookshelf.

"Oh! Found it, it's him! The old man who picked up Arthur was Headmaster Dumbledore! ”

Hermione excitedly looked at Headmaster Dumbledore, who was waving to her in the illustration.

"Could it really be him... No way! Impossible! ”

After confirming that the old man who picked up Arthur was the great Headmaster Dumbledore, Hermione was once again in a tangle...

While they were having dinner, Hermione's parents discussed the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Mr. Granger, too, jokingly said that Hermione, the heroine in it, is his daughter.

But it soon provoked serious protests from Hermione.

But just as her father apologized to her, Hermione suddenly remembered that the old man's figure was somewhat familiar.

To test her suspicion that she had seen him before, Hermione returned to her bedroom after eating the last apple pie.

"No! When I get to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I'll be sure to ask Headmaster Dumbledore about Arthur. ”

"If only he were the case! I... I can't spare him! At least... Let him change his name to me..."

Hermione closed the book in her hand and turned her gaze to the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Looking at the author's name on it, I remembered the image of Arthur standing alone in front of the riverbank.

She didn't want to believe that the angel-like Arthur would write the heroine of the same name as herself so ordinary.

But if it's really him...

Hermione couldn't figure out if she would be angry or sad.

She doesn't like the feeling of being deceived...

......

On the silent country road, one tall and one short, two figures walked forward silently, one in front of the other.

Even though the road ahead was pitch black, the speed of the two was not affected.

"The Ministry of Magic has taken care of it for you. They promised to quash all your charges and not interfere with your work on any fiction. But there are a few conditions, which I agreed to for you without your consent. ”

Dumbledore looked at Arthur, who was walking in front of him, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

In order to prevent the Ministry of Magic from holding Arthur again, he paid a lot today.

"Thanks, can you tell me about those conditions?"

Arthur paused and looked back at Dumbledore.

The dark clouds that obscured the moon cleared, and a ray of moonlight fell on Arthur's face.

Dumbledore stared at the boy's calm face as always, still the same as before, so that he couldn't read the boy's inner thoughts.

Recall Grindelwald's words to himself, "Albus, you're getting old!" He couldn't help but blink slightly.

"Number one, no fiction about wizards may be published in the Muggle world in the future, with the exception of the wizarding world."

"Second, you are absolutely not allowed to use the power of Silent Ran again!"

"Third, tell the Ministry of Magic everything you know about him."

"Fourth, you are absolutely not allowed to contact Grindelwald again!"

Arthur was silent for a moment after listening to Dumbledore's four conditions, and then nodded heavily.

Dumbledore saw that Arthur did not show any disgust at these four conditions, and his heavy face finally smiled.

"Arthur, there's one more bad news for you..."
