The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 468 Hermione Says I'm Not Hungry

A ray of morning sunlight shone on Hermione's face, and she woke up.

"Hmm..."

Hermione rubbed her eyes and lay half-reclined on the headboard, her lips slightly itchy.

"It feels like something is flowing down... what is it?"

Hermione instinctively wiped her hand, then suddenly noticed Moriarty looking at her with admiration, his right hand supporting his head.

"ah!!!"

Hermione screamed.

"Thump!"

Princess Sophie was so frightened that she fell off the foot of the bed.

It also woke Violet up.

Moriarty was a little speechless. "Hermione, if you get rid of this jumpy little habit, you'll be perfect."

Hermione didn't have time to reply. She looked down to check herself and, finding herself unharmed and back to normal, quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped herself tightly in it.

"Meow~" Sophie meowed in dissatisfaction as the blanket was pulled away. "Do you really have to do this? You were so proactive last night! Have you forgotten?"

Hermione has an excellent memory; she remembered last night…

"Last night, a kitten was very thirsty, so I fed her some milk. That's all."

Moriarty followed Hermione's train of thought, making Hermione blush deeply.

"Tsk, I shouldn't have! Sigh! This shouldn't have happened!"

Hermione tugged at her hair in distress.

Moriarty reached out and took her hand away.

"Your hair is an expression of your charm. Remember, from last night onwards, your body belongs not only to you, but also to me. I will not allow you to harm it."

Moriarty pulled Hermione to lie down together.

Hermione's heart pounded.

A tidy little house.

A clean white bed.

A strong, considerate, and charming man.

This is the life she wants.

That is, excluding Violet lying at one end of the bed and Sophie at the other end.

If it's just Moriarty and Hermione.

Hermione felt that this was happiness.

However, she couldn't exclude them; Hermione's family life made it impossible for her to accept Moriarty's other partners.

"I have class this morning! Professor Flitwick's Charms class."

Hermione woke up with a start; she didn't want to be late.

"Let the floating elevator take you to the classroom."

Moriarty also got up, waved his Slytherin staff, and the floating ladders that were originally moving automatically flew up, forming a path that flew to the dormitory door.

With a "click," the door opened.

Hermione slowed down upon witnessing this incredible scene.

"You have a little time to change your clothes now," Moriarty said, walking up to Hermione with one of Violet's outfits. "You can't go to class dressed as a boy."

"If you're in the mood, you can also go and have some breakfast."

Moriarty handed the clothes to Hermione, then took her by the wrist and led her into the dressing room.

A minute later, Hermione came out, having regained her composure.

"Sorry, I'm not hungry, I have to go."

Hermione was still embarrassed and avoided Moriarty's gaze.

Before leaving, Moriarty felt he had to say something to her to comfort the little girl.

After all, she is only 11 years old.

Hermione.

Moriarty called out to her.

"You don't need to be sad, and you don't need to blame yourself."

Moriarty gently stroked Hermione's hair.

Hermione didn't look away; she stared at him.

Last night was an accident. You are still you, but I will take responsibility.

Moriarty tapped Hermione's chin with his left hand, gently lifting her head slightly, and lightly kissed Hermione's forehead.

Hermione's face turned bright red instantly.

Moriarty smiled slightly, and slowly raised his left hand, gently tapping his two front teeth, which were slightly open in his mouth, with his fingertips.

He whispered in Hermione's ear, "Last night, your door gave me an extraordinary experience."

Hermione fled the dormitory as if escaping, her body weak and her heart pounding.

"Oh my god! He's so good at flirting!"

Hermione clutched her chest as she was carried to the classroom by a floating ladder.

Hermione, still sitting in her seat, was replaying Moriarty's words in her mind.

"Nobody ever compliments my front teeth! Oh my god! Not even my parents."

As she pondered this, Hermione became engrossed.

Hannah sat down next to Hermione while Professor Flitwick announced the Linked Charm.

"Hermione, Hermione?" Hannah shook Hermione's arm. "I didn't see you in the Great Hall. Didn't you have breakfast?"

Hermione snapped out of her daze and remained silent.

Of course not!

Hermione pursed her lips; his breath still lingered in her mouth.

And last night I drank my fill.

How could I be hungry!

Speaking of which, Violet-senpai and that cat drank quite a bit, right?

When Hannah pressed Hermione for an answer, she mumbled, "Yes, I drank the milk, don't worry."

Hannah then gave up.

"Hannah is such a good friend," Hermione thought to herself. "But he and I... well, how am I supposed to tell Hannah? She idolizes him so much."

Hermione's little scheme led her to never call Moriarty by his name, but only to refer to him as "he".

Hermione was distracted for the entire lesson.

Hannah noticed that Hermione had been spacing out a lot lately, then giggling to herself, and then falling into a state of distress.

Hermione wasn't the only freshman struggling with this problem; Draco was too.

Because it's December now.

Draco trains in Quidditch every day in preparation for the final match against Slytherin.

Marcus has submitted the roster to Professor Snape, and Moriarty will still not start; Harry Potter will remain the Seeker.

Oliver Wood gained immense confidence and trained day and night.

Moreover, the arrival of December means that Christmas is just around the corner.

In previous years, Draco had spent Christmas with his parents.

But this year, my home is gone.

From the outside, Draco could go to Narcissa's castle and spend Christmas at Slytherin Castle, a place many wizards dream of.

But Draco had no desire to go to Slytherin Castle.

This Christmas, Draco decides to visit Lucius's grave.

If there was anything else that made Draco happy, it was that his roommate Ron was finally no longer hanging around in front of him.

Ron has been locked up in Hagrid's cabin for half a month now.

During this time, his parents came to Hogwarts to listen to several discussions between Dumbledore and the four heads of the house about Ron's punishment.

Professor Snape insists on expelling Ron!

This reminded many upperclassmen of the incident two years ago when Keith insulted Professor Snape and was also advised to be expelled.

Professor McGonagall made it clear this time that she had no objection to Ron being expelled.

Professor Pomona Sprout, however, said that Ron could be forgiven because he was cursed.

Professor Flitwick also felt that Ron should be given a chance.

Thus, Ron's punishment remained undecided.

No one expected what would happen to Ron during his time at Hagrid's cabin.

Voldemort's remnant soul has grown stronger!

Ron's soul was almost being consumed.

Perhaps only family and beautiful women can temporarily restore Ron's true nature.

"Ah~"

Ron's eyes turned like snake eyes.

"What a wonderful curse! Without her, I couldn't have regained my magic so quickly."

Ron let out a suffocating hiss.

"I see you, Egyptian princess!"

"Egypt? Good place! Lord Voldemort will come looking for you!!!"

Ron raised his head and growled menacingly.

Hagrid wasn't there, and Tooth seemed to sense something outside, trembling with fear.

Christmas is coming soon.

Ron was taken home by his parents for a lesson, and on the way, Molly Weasley kept lecturing him.

Ron kept his head down, but his eyes darted around.

He watched Draco hurry onto the Hogwarts Express, and a plan formed in his mind.

That night, at the Weasley family's Burrow.

Ron sneaked out, not forgetting to steal his parents' purse before he left.

"I need a motorcyclist bus!"

Ron stood on the hilltop and raised his wand.

He's going to Marseille, France!

The place where Lucius Malfoy was murdered! The Old Port of Marseille.

At the same time, Draco entered the Malfoy family cemetery.

I sat down in front of Lucius's tombstone.

Meanwhile, Slytherin Castle was bustling with activity.

Moriarty was surrounded by beauties:

Lilith, Penelope, Narcissa, Tonks, Violet, Queen Ventura, Victoria Cappadocia, and Fleur—she came all the way from France, bringing her sister Gabrielle with her.

Professor Polly also arrived, and Moriarty invited her to visit the castle.

To Moriarty's dismay, Cho Chang was called home, and Hermione didn't come either because of her beliefs.

The castle gets even more lively at night!
