Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 899: Stranger’s hot cocoa

"Who is there!"

Across the dense and manic snow curtain, Hermione raised her voice again and asked the sentence again.

Maybe it was because the strong wind from this high place swept away the voice, or maybe the other party still didn't think of responding, so she still didn't get any answer this time.

She can only be sure that the figure standing on the edge of the tower against the wind and snow has indeed turned around.

Then, what is the reason for a person to stand silently in this extremely cold snow in the middle of the night?

Hermione, who became more vigilant, clenched the handle of the wand in her hand, and walked out of the stairs under the trapdoor against the wind and snow. Although all the snowflakes were photographed so that she could hardly open her eyes, she still walked forward step by step.

But Hermione seems to have forgotten that she herself is also a "suspicious person" wandering around late at night?

But when she walked not far in front of the opponent, she slowly stopped. At that moment, she realized that she could finally see what the other person looked like.

However, it wasn't until then that Hermione realized that she didn't seem to know this...woman.

"You...who are you?"

To be honest, this is the third time she has asked similar questions.

Fortunately, the other party finally spoke.

"Hello, my name is Miriam... how about you?"

Yes, it was Miriam who ran up to the tower in the middle of the night to "find cool", but it was Miriam who had just borrowed to seek refuge at Hogwarts not long ago.

As soon as she spoke, Hermione immediately felt a mature charm.

To be honest, Miriam's appearance is by no means extremely beautiful, but if it is matched with her deserted temperament and proud figure, it is really charming.

A girl who is still growing like Hermione is naturally a bit more youthful, but often also a bit less charm.

"I'm Hermione Granger, a student at Gryffindor College..." She replied subconsciously, then shook her head again, "No, I mean to say-you are not us People from the school? How could they appear in this place at this point in time?"

"Oh...I'm afraid I can't tell you about it," Miriam explained calmly, turning the fluttering silk to the back of the wind, "I can only say that I am staying in Hogg. Woz's, your principal, Ms. Minerva McGonagall, also knows."

"Really?"

Hermione looked up and down Miriam suspiciously, not knowing whether she should believe it or not.

"Then... why did you come to the top of the Astronomy Tower so late? Even if you can't sleep and want to see the stars, you have to pick a clearer day?"

Of course she asked this question very well.

After all, even she was just walking in the dark in the corridors of the castle, and would never want to go outside in this blizzard weather for no reason.

But I don't know if Hermione's words touched Miriam's nerves, but when she saw the other party, her brows frowned, and a heaviness appeared in the corners of her eyes unconsciously.

On the other side, Hermione seems to have become particularly sensitive because of Maca's quiet departure. So when Miriam's expression changed slightly, her hand holding the handle of the wand tightened again.

As if as long as the other party moved, she would immediately throw a curse with her backhand.

But soon, Miriam sighed softly suddenly. As soon as the inaudible sigh was uttered, it was roughly swept away by the wind, so that Hermione could only find a trace of unknown complexity in her face.

"Nothing," Milian said slowly, "I just somehow awakened by a chaotic nightmare, and then I felt like I had lost something important inadvertently... this kind of The restlessness made me unable to fall asleep anymore, so I just wanted to come out and restore my peace."

"Lost something important?"

Hermione repeated her words dazedly, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy in her heart.

"Hmm."

Milian responded casually, but then smiled self-deprecatingly in the next second.

"No, if I have to say something, what else do I have to lose?"

Most of her only childhood friend is dead, and Grandpa Lavin, who raised her up, disappointed her completely. Nowadays, she has nothing, and what else could be worth her to feel so uneasy?

She originally planned to find a place to guard Asaph's grave after asking Maca to help her retrieve Asaph's body.

In this way, she can not only live up to Asaph who once gave up her life to cover her, but also can replace Asaph to watch the colorful world for a few more years, so that she will be very satisfied.

It's just that the inexplicable restlessness and anxiety at the time seemed so strong. She felt that something was wrong with people like her who had never believed in her premonitions.

"...I think it seems that something bad really happened."

After a while, Miriam added specifically.

But to be honest, what Hermione can't hear most right now is the "bad things".

When she thought that Maca was leaving tonight, she couldn't settle for anything. And now, when I heard Miriam say this, the distracted attention was instantly pulled back to the original starting point.

Forcibly pressing the entanglement in her heart, Hermione rubbed her aching cheeks from the cold.

"Since you are a guest, it doesn't matter. Actually there are a lot of guests these days. But now it's so late and it's so cold outside, you should go back to your room and continue sleeping..."

At this point, she paused for a while and added: "...Well, the corridors and stairs in the castle are a bit complicated. Where is your room? I can take you there."

Although Hermione has somewhat believed Miriam's statement, it would be even more reassuring if she reconfirmed her specific residence.

Of course, it's normal to say something like Hermione came up temporarily, even if it is rejected outright. But for Miriam, she nodded quickly.

"Oh, that's okay! Then I'll trouble you--well, Miss Granger?"

"Just call me Hermione."

Hermione smiled, but because most of her face was frozen a little bit stiff, that smile seemed a little embarrassing.

From this point, we can see some differences between the two. It was because Miriam, who stood far longer than Hermione in this ice and snow, still had an air of composure, as if she didn't feel the cold at all.

Hermione, who was shrinking her neck with cold, finally noticed this when she watched Millian pass by her and walked calmly to the stairs.

"What kind of curse was used? Or what kind of potion did you drink?" She secretly asked with some doubts, "Isn't it?"

While thinking about it, Hermione quickly followed.

Unfortunately, she originally thought that even if the other party really borrowed to live in Hogwarts, they should just be arranged in the guest room in the main castle. To get from here to there, you only need to go down two stairs and pass a few corridors.

But she didn't expect that, Miriam's room was actually on the side of the sub-fort, which was mostly idle!

Because the main and auxiliary forts are connected to each other only by the long corridor behind the hall on the first floor, they have to go up and down from the astronomical tower to the bottom, and then pass through the main fort to reach the auxiliary fort area.

Seriously, since enrolling in Hogwarts, Hermione has rarely traveled this far!

The two were in tandem, and after passing through some of the most familiar corridors on weekdays, the surrounding light seemed to become less and less as they stepped into the seldom visited area.

It is said that a long time ago, when Hogwarts reached the peak of the number of students, the sub-fort was also used as a teaching place.

However, for most of the time, the secondary fort, which is about half the size of the main fort, is rarely visited.

Therefore, a place like this without people and inside the entire castle becomes the best place for people with sensitive identities to hide.

That's why Maca would let Miriam and Ahaz live directly in the deputy fort.

"...is this right?"

After walking for a while, Hermione found a dusty door according to Miriam's description. Everywhere here looks a bit old, but since the house elves don't leave it alone because they are unoccupied, they are not inferior to the main castle in terms of cleanliness.

"Um...Do you really live here?" She couldn't help but hesitate.

"I know you might think I'm a little suspicious, but it's really true." Miriam reached out and pushed the door open, but there was no extra noise.

Ahas's room is not far away, so she still wants to avoid awakening the slightly annoying "little guy" as much as possible.

"If you are still not at ease, please come in and sit down! You can watch it as you like. When I came, I did not bring any personal items that cannot be seen."

When Hermione heard the words, she only hesitated for a moment, and then decisively walked into the room. When Miriam walked by, she still secretly pushed the wand back into her sleeve under the cover of her body.

As Miriam said~IndoMTL.com~There is really nothing suspicious in this room. Especially, there are small details and small traces of daily life everywhere here.

"Sit down, please, I'll cook a pot of cocoa for you, I think you seem to be frozen out!"

While speaking, Miriam walked to the fireplace and drew out the wand to light the firewood inside. Before long, the orange fire made the temperature in the room rise rapidly, and the warmth gradually dissipated the coldness of Hermione's whole body.

Not much, when a steaming cup of hot cocoa was delivered to her hand, the warmth that melted the heart immediately made Hermione sigh of relief.

But at the next moment, the special smell of the steam rising from the cup made Hermione startled.
