Chapter 0053 Prejudice and Touching
_____________________________________________________________
The ambiguous atmosphere lasted for a while, then slowly subsided.
Reason took control of Ye Ting's heart.
He then did he remember that his own physical age today is only eleven years old, and Hermione is also eleven years old, the result is two eleven-year-old children hiding in the corner of the library to play and kiss...
Although he is definitely an adult in his heart, the most critical thing was that Hermione made the first move.
Are all little girls now so precocious?
It made him start to wonder if he was a lolicon.
Oh, Lolita, the light of my life, the fire of my lust. My sin, my spirit ...
Stop now, don't think about it any longer.
If this keeps going on, he would become a pervert, at least until the age of sixteen...
The actual fact is that you'll be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
Ye Ting thought about it for a while and finally came back to his senses.
At this time, Hermione was also in a state of confusion. She could not believe that she just said and did something like that, so she had to bury her head in Ye Ting's arms and pretend to be an ostrich.
"Ahem."
Ye Ting cleared his throat and first broke the silence.
"Well, Hermione, I have something to tell you."
In his arms, Hermione nodded incredulously.
Ye Ting continued, "I think that since you have been investigating Nicolas Flamel, on the one hand, you want to know what treasure Dumbledore has hidden, on the other hand, you are still suspecting that it was Snape who tried to murder Harry and steal the treasure."
Hermione in his arms nodded again.
"Listen to me, Hermione, you can't just suspect a professor based on a bad impression." Ye Ting sighed and advised, "It's a serious accusation to jump to conclusions about such things before there is clear evidence. I'm not accusing you morally, but I'm trying to tell you that doing so could lead your investigation down a major detour, or even cause irreversible consequences."
Hearing this, Hermione's reaction suddenly became fierce, she left the embrace of Ye Ting, tilted her head to look at him, and retorted seriously: "But Snape does often target Harry Potter, he's always embarrassing Harry in potions class, among the professors, he is the most suspicious."
As expected of Hermione, when faced with a debate, she never cares what is ambiguous or not, this is the "Miss Know-it-all" style.
"I know this, Snape really hates Harry. He has always been a mean person, I heard Cho Chang say that Snape was once named the winner of the English Mean Championship." Speaking of which, even Hermione laughed out loud.
However, Ye Ting changed his tone: "But this proves nothing if you follow this logic, whether it's painting the corridor with mud, or dripping Flobberworm juice in Gryffindor's lunch, or summoning Filch during the students' night out, these things are all done by Snape, because among all the professors he is the meanest to the students. "
"No... no, these ..." Hermione was dumbfounded, she did not know how to retort, because this was her original logic.
"In fact, all these things were done by Peeves." Ye Ting said with a smile, "But surely Peeves would not conspire to steal Professor Dumbledore's treasures, and we all know that mischief is his only hobby."
"So," he looked Hermione straight in the eye, "do you still think Snape tried to kill Harry?"
"You're right." Hermione thought for a moment and finally admitted her mistake: "I was the one who was too arbitrary."
"Yes, you are indeed too arbitrary." Ye Ting touched Hermione's cheek. "You are Hermione Granger, you are smarter than anyone else, all the little wizards, whether pure-blood or mixed-blood, cannot learn magic as fast as you. You always rely on logic to judge problems, how come this time you are like others, starting to follow your impressions and intuitions?"
When Ye Ting said this, Hermione's face turned red, because Ye Ting knew her too well, he got everything right, she was originally a more rational person who did not easily doubt others. She bit her lips and whispered "Yes, this time it was me who was too prejudiced against Professor Snape. I won't easily suspect him again."
Then she said aloud as if she were making a declaration, "But I still think Snape is a nasty guy."
Poor old bat, the student's bad impression of him can't be changed.
Ye Ting shrugged and agreed: "I think so too, not only is he gloomy, withdrawn, mean, and eccentric, but he never washes his hair."
Hermione then nodded in satisfaction.
Ye Ting let out a faint sigh.
Girls are really hard to coax. It is not easy to convince her and not make her angry.
Fortunately, this is a more reasonable Hermione.
Suddenly, Hermione looked at Ye Ting curiously and asked him, "So, the treasure hidden by Dumbledore is the Philosopher's Stone of Nicolas Flamel, right?"
"Yes, I guess that's what it is." Ye Ting nodded, but also did not forget to remind her: "Do not tell Harry and Ron about Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone. This is too dangerous, whoever has the courage to steal something from Dumbledore's hands, must be a powerful dark wizard. With their weak strength, they are not suitable for getting involved."
Ye Ting decided to reveal the news to Harry at the end of the semester when he was fully prepared, so that he could have a chance to get the Philosopher's Stone.
But this does not need to be told to the righteous Hermione for the time being, at least a few more semesters.
After reaching a consensus, the two immediately went to the library together.
On the way back to the common room, Hermione suddenly asked curiously: "You just said Harry and Ron are too weak to get involved, so what about me? Can I get involved in this matter?"
This time, Hermione didn't want to worry about this matter, but she still asked him.
WIth Hermione's character, she will definitely not be happy if she is not allowed to participate.
So Ye Ting raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "You are you, they are them, although your strength is not strong -"
Having said that, he glanced at Hermione, and the little girl's face looked a lot uglier.
He continued, "But it's okay, because I'll protect you."
Hearing these words, Hermione who originally felt underestimated, suddenly had no complaints in her heart, even if she was evaluated as low in strength, it did not matter.
She thought back to the night of Halloween, and her first Quidditch lesson.
Whenever she was in crisis, he would stand by her side and protect her from harm.
"He said he would protect me."
Hermione was completely moved, and she suddenly gave Ye Ting a big hug, without saying a word.
As a result, Ye Ting was at a loss.
What is this? Why is she hugging me? Did I say something special?
Whatever, let's leave it at that.
Feeling Hermione's strong feelings of closeness and dependence on him, he held her back in his arms.
He left his original family behind and came to a different world alone. Here, he saw the legendary magic and had a great goal.
But underneath it all, there was a deep loneliness.
However, now he knew that he is finally no longer alone.
There were people who cared about him and rely on him.
...
Christmas is coming.
