Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Who is there!"

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

But maybe it was because the strong wind from this high place had wrapped up the voice, or maybe the other party still didn't respond, 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.

So, what is the reason that makes a person stand silently in this extremely cold snow in the middle of the night?

Hermione, who was more vigilant, clenched the handle of the wand in her hand, and walked out of the stairs under the trapdoor against the heavy 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?

And when she walked not far in front of the other party, 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 shelter at Hogwarts not long ago.

And when 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, and then shook her head again, "No, I mean to say-you are not from our school Huh? How could you appear in this place at this point in time?"

"Oh...I'm afraid I can't tell you about it," Milian explained calmly, pulling the fluttering silk behind her head, "I can only say that I stayed at Hogwarts. , Your principal, Ms. Minerva McGonagall also knows."

"is it?"

Hermione looked up and down at 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 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 suddenly frowned, and a heaviness appeared in the corner of her eyes unconsciously.

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

It seemed that as long as the other party changed, 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 anxiety made me I couldn't sleep anymore, so I just wanted to come out and calm myself."

"Lost something important?"

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

"Ok."

Miriam 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 was dead, and Grandpa Lavin, who raised her up, disappointed her completely.Nowadays, she has nothing, and what else could be worth her feeling 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 could not only live up to Asaph who had sacrificed her life to cover her, but also could replace Asaph to watch the colorful world for a few more years, so she would be very satisfied.

However, the inexplicable restlessness and anxiety at the time seemed so strong.It made her feel that something was wrong with people like her who had never believed in her premonitions.

"...I think something bad really happened."

After a while, Miriam added specifically.

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

The thought that Maca was leaving tonight makes her uneasy.And now, when Miriam said that, the distracted attention was instantly pulled back to the original starting point.

Forcibly pressing the entanglement in the bottom of her heart, Hermione rubbed her cheeks that were a little sore from the cold.

"Since you are a guest, it doesn't matter. Actually there are quite a lot of guests these days. But it's so late now, 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 had somehow believed Miriam's statement, it would be more reassuring to confirm the specific residence.

Of course, it's normal to think of something like Hermione temporarily, even if it's 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 since most of her face was frozen so stiff that the smile looked somewhat 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 did you use? Or did you drink some potion?" She asked inwardly, "Isn't it?"

As she pondered, Hermione quickly followed.

Unfortunately, she thought that even if the other party really borrowed to live in Hogwarts, it should have been arranged in the guest room of 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, where most of it was idle!

Because the main and auxiliary forts were connected to each other only by the long corridor behind the hall on the first floor, they had 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 went one after another, 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 Vice-Fort was also used as a teaching place.

However, for most of the time, almost no one will go to the secondary fort, which is about half smaller than the main fort.

Therefore, a place like this with no people and inside the entire castle becomes the best place for people with sensitive identities to hide.

Therefore, Maca would let Miriam and Ahaz live in the sub-fort directly.

"...Is it here?"

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." Millian reached out and pushed the door open, but there was no extra noise.

Ahaz'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 as you like. When I came, I didn't bring any personal items that could not be seen."

After hearing the words, Hermione 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 Milian said, there is really nothing suspicious in this room.Especially, there are small details and small traces of daily life everywhere here.

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

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

Not long after, when a steaming cup of hot cocoa was delivered to her hands, the warmth enough to melt the heart immediately made Hermione sigh of relief.

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