Chapter 26: Cloudy Turns Sunny! Confident Miss Granger!
"Hermione, wait for me, you're walking too fast."
Cho Chang trotted after Hermione. Seeing the other party's angry face.
She teased, "What's the matter? Could it be that someone's knight made her angry again?"
"Cho, this joke isn't funny at all. I just think it's unfair. Why is Professor Snape unwilling to give us extra points when I answered all the questions correctly?"
After hearing this, Cho understood what was going on and started laughing, explaining to Hermione's dissatisfied eyes.
"Professor Snape is like this, even his own house rarely gets points, and the other houses even less."
"You should be glad you're not in Gryffindor, otherwise, don't talk about bonus points, you should thank Merlin if you don't lose points."
"And nobody does anything about it?" Hermione grumbled.
"Why would they? The extra points are the professor's power and they are free to give or take them as they see fit, and even Headmaster Dumbledore has no right to interfere."
After listening to that explanation Hermione's face relaxed a little.
Seeing this, Cho brought the topic back to a certain knight.
"Have you heard? Today your knight showed his prowess in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. He alone added fifteen points to Slytherin."
"I heard that Professor McGonagall invited him to join the Transfiguration Club. Oh Merlin, that's the Transfiguration Club. Anyone who can join is a master of Transfiguration."
"Hermione, did you know that Professor McGonagall has never invited someone so young, let alone a freshman?"
Something about Lucas in class.
Of course Hermione knew even if she didn't see it with her own eyes.
She can also imagine what Lucas looked like when he cast the spell. It should be the same as when he was on the train, calm, elegant, and smooth!
"Oh? It seems that someone is secretly happy for her knight."
Seeing the smile on the corner of Hermione's mouth, Cho immediately laughed out loud.
Hermione smiled wryly and shook her head: "stop joking, he is so excellent, I..."
"Oh, beautiful little witch, are you troubled by love? No wonder your expression is wrong today."
Hermione didn't refute, but smiled reluctantly, as an acknowledgment of the other party's words.
Cho Chang walked up to Hermione quickly, blocking her way.
"Hermione, you have to be more confident. In my opinion, you are excellent. There is no one you are not worthy of."
"Besides, whether you are worthy or not is not up to you, let alone someone else, but Mr. Grindelwald's."
"Hermione, maybe Mr. Grindelwald is also inquiring about your situation now, be confident, and don't forget that we are Ravenclaws."
"We are knowledgeable, smart, fair, and wise, and we have vision, but we never feel inferior, because these advantages are our confidence."
Cho Chang's enlightenment obviously had an effect.
Hermione changed from the dullness just now, and said with a smile: "I never expected that you would be so good at comforting others."
Cho shrugged, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Lucas coming from a distance.
"Hey, someone's knight is coming."
"Why, are you envious? If it's you, I don't mind."
"NO, the boy I like must be able to play Quidditch, and he must be better than me!"
...
Lucas watched the two future beauties running into the great hall.
Doubt was written all over his face.
Could it be that he is some kind of scourge?
Why are they running away as soon as they see him coming?
Walking into the great hall, Lucas went straight to Ravenclaw's long table.
He is also considered a little famous now, and he is talking about a good reputation here.
Seeing Lucas walking towards them, many girls in Ravenclaw start to organize their clothes.
For the learned Ravenclaws, Lucas, who is also knowledgeable and wise, attracts their attention very much.
It's a pity that Lucas didn't look at them at all, but sat directly next to Hermione.
"Beautiful lady, can I sit here and eat?"
"Handsome sir, haven't you already sat down?"
Lucas probably understood at this moment why Hermione was afraid to face himself.
He looked at her and said seriously.
"Hermione, I think the two of us need to talk."
"Okay, what are we talking about?"
Lucas thought for a moment before saying, "I found that you've been weird since breakfast, but you don't look like you're being bullied."
"So, can you tell me why?"
Hermione lowered her head and whispered, "It's nothing, it's all just my own wild imagination."
"Really? I thought you were upset that Professor Snape didn't give you a single point."
Hermione suddenly looked to her side: "You, you know?"
"Of course, I went to Hufflepuff specifically to ask the ones who took the class with you."
'He did ask! ' Hermione stared blankly at the blond boy beside her.
She couldn't help but think back to Cho Chang's words just now.
'Perhaps Mr. Grindelwald is inquiring about you right now!'
Hermione's tense body gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Hmph, I'm Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw, just watch, I will definitely make Professor Snape add points for my house."
"Ambitious, then I wish Miss Hermione success in her difficult endeavor."
Lucas was relieved to see Hermione back to normal.
After taking a few casual bites, Lucas got up to leave.
"You only eat this little?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Headmaster Dumbledore has something to talk about with me, I have to go to his office now, so I'll leave first."
Looking at Lucas' hurried back, Hermione thought for a while and took an apple and put it in her pocket.
...
On the seventh floor, in front of the stone gargoyle.
"Lemon Sherbet!"
As the password sounded, the stone gargoyle immediately moved aside and Lucas walked up the spiral stairs.
As soon as he arrived at the headmaster's office, right before he could knock on the door an old voice came to his ears.
"You may come in, Mr. Grindelwald."
Immediately afterwards he entered and saw Dumbledore's figure sitting behind his desk.
His eyes hidden behind the glasses were fixed on the boy who was walking towards him.
