Chapter 106: Friends

Gryffindor always seems to be so noisy that the slightest thing can cause an uproar there.

In that environment, Hermione felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not that she doesn't like Gryffindor, in fact, until now, she also thinks Gryffindor is the best of the four houses.

After all, the house was home to Albus Dumbledore, the strongest wizard in the world, but Hermione really couldn't stand the babbling environment of the common room.

In comparison, it is clearly the library that is better.

Although Mrs. Pince was sometimes unkind, it was because of her presence that the library was like heaven and holy place.

There are endless books to read!

"It just so happens that I'm almost finished reading the book in my hand."

Thinking of the library's abundance of books, Hermione couldn't help but quicken her pace.

It's just that when she walked to the door of the open library, two figures appeared in her eyes.

One was Isobel, her friend.

She can be sure of that.

Hermione could seriously tell the others that she and Isobel were friends.

When we are in class together, we are often divided into groups, and we both like to read.

She felt that they shared the same hobbies and had countless topics in common.

But the other one is different......

"Connor."

After slowly taking her eyes off Isobel's silver-white hair, she looked at the red figure on the other side.

Connor McMab.

Seriously, she still wasn't sure if there was a friendship between them.

Even though Connor's side had approved of it, Hermione still had doubts.

After all, just like Isobel once complained, they haven't actually spoken much since they entered the school.

Unlike Isobel, Hermione was welcome to meet the boy, and even in groups, he would not lack a partner like Isobel.

As for their spare time, they have no opportunity or reason to meet in private.

It dragged on until now, and Hermione herself thought it was a little funny.

So what should I do now?

Do you want to go up and say hello to them?

Or do you go to Mrs. Pince to return the book, or renew the loan?

Speaking of which, I'm almost ready to read the book in my hand.

At most, you can finish reading it in the library for a while, so let's get another copy.

Holding the history book in her hand, Hermione fell into a brainstorming session on her own.

The thoughts in her mind kept echoing, and all kinds of ideas surfaced, but her eyes were always focused on the two classmates in front of her.

Seeing that they seemed to be talking about something, Hermione only felt that the other thoughts in her head were fading away, and there was only a kind of envy that was difficult to describe in words.

"What a good relationship......"

And just when she was about to make a certain choice, she found that they stopped without knowing when, and their eyes invariably stayed on her.

"Huh?"

This made Hermione stunned for a moment, and then a little confused.

"The ......"

"You're here, Hermione."

Without any cover-up, she saw her good friend greet her,

In this way, she can only walk through, can she?

Although the thoughts in her heart were a little awkward, a comfortable smile still involuntarily appeared on her face.

"What are you talking about?"

After walking in front of them, Hermione asked.

Isobel, on the other hand, just glanced at Connor.

"Nothing."

The one who spoke was Connor.

"It's just something about learning."

"Studying?"

"yes, classes start shortly next Monday, so we're here to discuss what we might learn next week."

"Want to do your homework ahead of time?"

“…… Sort of. ”

Greeted by Hermione's standard three-good student question, Connor nodded after a brief hesitation.

"After all, the class has to go on."

"yes."

Then there was a brief silence between the two.

Connor just couldn't find a topic for a while, and he didn't care about this kind of thing.

Hermione, on the other hand, was a little more complicated.

She had something to say, but she couldn't say it now.

"Actually, I think I'm going to suffocate myself if I'm stuffy like this all the time, Hermione."

In the moment of silence, Hermione suddenly heard something like this.

Looking up, she saw Isobel blinking her eyes.

Instead of the calm attitude she was familiar with, she seemed to be more enthusiastic now.

"Isobel?"

"Okay, I have something to do in the future, so I won't bother you."

Without waiting for Hermione to speak, Isobel waved her hand to herself.

She looked at Connor, then at Hermione, and finally at Miss Beaver on the shoulder.

"Okay, if you want to say anything, you can take this opportunity to say it, I'll go."

Hermione didn't mean to listen to anyone, and by the time Hermione came to her senses, Isobel had already walked over to Mrs. Pinns, borrowed a book, and walked to the depths of the library.

It's a very different place from the Forbidden Books Zone.

Hermione was until, it was a place where students could stay with the teacher's approval, and Isobel was one of them.

Watching her figure disappear, Hermione wanted to reach out but felt powerless.

When she came to her senses, she just looked at Connor.

"Is it the first time you've seen her like this?"

“…… Sort of. ”

Hermione said helplessly.

"I've heard something similar from other people before, like Isobel is going to be quite enthusiastic in flying lessons, but I haven't seen it."

"Sometimes, she does get emotionally high."

I don't know when, Connor had already pulled out a glass of water.

Was that cup there before?

Hermione suddenly realized that she couldn't remember it anymore.

With a dazed attitude, she watched Connor drink quietly over there.

"Hiss"

"Are you going to keep standing there?"

After drinking a glass of water, Connor asked.

“……”

Hermione sat down wordlessly.

And looking at her look like she was in prison, he was helpless.

"So you have something to say?"

However, Hermione still didn't respond, she just subconsciously hugged the book in her hand.

Looking at Hermione's dilemma, Connor didn't know what to do.

He didn't know what Hermione was struggling with, or what she was struggling with.

In the end, he couldn't help but speak:

"If you really don't have anything to say, and you can't say it, why don't you wait later?"

And at this point in Connor, Hermione seemed to have finally come to her senses.

"Wait."

"Huh?"

"I ...... I do have questions I want to ask. ”

After hesitating for a moment, she whispered.

"What?"

"We ...... Are we friends? ”

“???”

For a moment, Connor felt confused.

What kind of problem is this?
