Chapter 644 Hermione: Are You Here to Show Off to Me?

"What's going on?" Ivan asked curiously.

"I read in a book that every Christmas, the fairy tree will bloom, and all the fairy trees will fly out together at night. It must be very beautiful!" Luna said in a daze, as if she was thinking. Imagine that beautiful scenery.

"Oh, and there's also the Curved-Horned Snorlax. If it's nearby, it will definitely be attracted to it..." Luna added.

"So you plan to find the Fairy Tracer Tree during the vacation?" Ivan understood immediately. He had seen similar scenes in Luna's memory. The little witch was always keen on looking for some novel things.

"Yes! This kind of tree usually grows in very dense jungles. I think there might be one in the Forbidden Forest! I have never looked for it carefully." Luna said happily.

Ivan opened his mouth but stopped talking.

He knew that Luna would never find the Elusive Tree and the Crescent-Horned Snorlax in the Forbidden Forest—because these were all imaginary things.

But Ivan also knows that he is not qualified to break this beautiful illusion...

After a moment of silence, Ivan responded with a smile. "Well, I think you will find it one day."

"Yes, I will always find it..." Luna said seriously.

Unknowingly, the two of them had reached the end of the corridor. Facing the blank wall, Luna turned her head and looked at the main tower in the distance.

The lights in the auditorium were still flickering, and students could be vaguely seen walking out of the foyer in twos and threes.

Apparently dinner is coming to an end...

"I think you have to leave, don't you?" Luna looked at Ivan and asked.

Ivan nodded, apologized to Luna again, and walked quickly towards the foyer.

Along the way, Ivan organized the words in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. To be honest, this was his first time confessing his love to a girl.

"George, Fred!"

While passing through a corridor, Ivan happened to bump into the Weasley brothers who were about to return to their dormitory after dinner. An idea came to Ivan's mind, and he greeted them.

"What's wrong? Ivan? (Is something wrong?)" George and Fred turned around. Just as they had time to ask, they saw something flying towards them.

George subconsciously took it and took a look, only to find that it was a golden Galleons.

"I have something to ask you both for a favor with!" Ivan said, looking at the two of them.

…

Evening, Hogwarts Great Hall.

Hermione sat absentmindedly on the Gryffindor seat, her eyes turning to the entrance of the hall from time to time.

Harry on the side couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help asking. "Are you waiting for Ivan? Hermione? It's so late, he must not be planning to eat!"

"I'm not waiting for him..." the little witch shook her head and said angrily. The knife in her hand unconsciously cut the steak on the plate into pieces, but she didn't notice at all.

Harry glanced at the untouched plate in front of Hermione and shrugged helplessly. He could certainly see that his two good friends were having trouble, but he really couldn't figure out the reason.

Obviously Ivan invited Hermione to this year's Christmas ball in public a few days ago, so their relationship should be very good.

"Did you reject Ivan's invitation? Find someone else temporarily?" Harry asked curiously.

But he quickly thought that if that were the case Hermione wouldn't always be looking towards the hall.

"Why are you asking so much?" Hermione glared at him angrily, then stopped eating, picked up the books on the table, stood up, and walked straight out of the Great Hall, even as Harry shouted behind her. Nothing was heard.

Leaving the hall, Hermione had a confused look on her face.

She did not return to the girls' dormitory, nor did she go to the library to stay until night as usual. Instead, she wandered alone in Hogwarts Castle, thinking about the scene where she and Ivan had parted not long ago, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

When Ivan asked that sentence, she knew that she had misunderstood. Ivan did not invite Luna from Ravenclaw to the ball.

However, when she thought of the scenes of Luna and Ivan getting along in her memory, she felt like she had swallowed a sour fruit. She felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but irritate Ivan.

After saying that, Hermione regretted it, so she waited there anxiously for a while, but unfortunately she didn't wait until Ivan followed.

In addition, Ivan was not seen during the dinner, which made Hermione a little worried.

She had not forgotten her previous guess. The mysterious man's men might have sneaked in and threw Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire.

Maybe the opponent will also target Ivan, who is a warrior.

Of course, there is a second possibility, which is that Ivan has invited other girls during this time...

Thinking about this, Hermione became a little annoyed. She thought angrily that even if Ivan really invited someone else, it wouldn't be a big deal!

Various thoughts kept colliding in Hermione's mind. After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped because the person in front of her was the person she least wanted to meet.

The little blond witch opposite seemed a little surprised to meet Hermione here.

The two were stunned for a while, and Hermione turned around decisively and was about to walk back, but Luna's voice had already reached her.

"Hello, Hermione..." Luna greeted.

Hermione's steps forward paused. She didn't want to show weakness in front of Luna, so she turned back and said angrily. "Hello...Miss Lovegood!"

Luna didn't seem to notice Hermione's alienation or malice at all. She walked up quickly and rummaged for something in the cloth pockets of the wizard's robe.

Hermione was secretly vigilant and clutched the wand tightly in her right hand.

However, under her gaze, Luna just pulled out a thick notebook from her cloth pocket.

"Fortunately, I always carry it with me!" Luna said happily, and then handed the note to Hermione.

Hermione didn't take it immediately. She looked at Luna in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

"Don't you want to take a look?" Luna asked.

Hermione didn't care and directly took the note and opened it. She wanted to know what was written inside.

After glancing at it for a few times, Hermione discovered that what was written on the page was actually the method of practicing Occlumency and the technique of resisting Legilimency. The most important thing was that she recognized the handwriting on it. It was Ivan's handwriting.

Are you here to show off?

Hermione looked at Luna dissatisfied, but noticing the innocent look on Luna's face, she understood that she had misunderstood. After calming down and thinking for a while, she suddenly understood what Luna meant and asked in a confirming manner. road.

"So, you were practicing Legilimency that day?"
