The Dark Lord at Hogwarts is not too cold

The locket is not damaged except for the decoration on it.

But things stopped temporarily, and Hermione put away the Horcrux, planning to take it out after getting the Sword of Gryffindor, and those images still remained in Cyrus' mind.

Whenever he closes his eyes to rest, those voices will be heard again and again...

"I think it's probably Voldemort's protection mechanism." Hermione looked at him worriedly. "It made the Horcrux feel the power of fear, so it adopted inductive magic. I think you should check your memory."

"It's ok...my head is messed up enough." Cyrus lay limp on the couch, pillowing her legs.

"You believed it?"

"How come?" He hugged and buried his head in it, "Just because it held you and said some flirty things that you would never say to me?"

Riddle was stupid enough to really think he could see what Cyrus was terrified of?

Hermione carefully placed her hand on his head, and it didn't move away, and she didn't hear an impatient tuck, which was a good sign.

"So...that's what you're afraid of?" Thinking back on Cyrus' description, she actually felt a little amused, "Afraid that I'd become a demon king who fell to the dark side... a bad person? And then abandon you? "

It's not a mocking laugh.

More of a playfulness, Hermione raised her eyebrows.

"It's better to say 'the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon'" Cyrus said contemptuously, "and, this is not what I fear most at all, so Voldemort is really stupid...he can't read a person's real mind "

Even if it transformed Hermione, she had a taller figure, fairer skin, and no freckles on her face.

But... so what?

"Then you mean, even if I break up with you, you won't be unhappy?" Hermione suddenly charged him with an unfounded crime.

"Is it plausible? I'm really afraid of being abandoned, but that's not what I mean..." Cyrus put his jaw on her lap, stared at her, and said falteringly, "I know it's good to be worried, but it's Bubble"

Like those wonderful dreams full of fantastic adventures.

Looking back, it seems to be a dream again.

He was so close to her, so beautiful that it was like a real dream, and this was what Cyrus was afraid of.

"I think therefore you are...?"

"Okay, why did you say such a thing suddenly?" Cyrus stood up like a spring, and was immediately pulled back to reality by Hermione, and being said by the person in front of him to express his intentions at the beginning was no different from a public execution.

Hmm... shut your ears and listen!

A few days later, Hermione left for the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts with the promise of "absolutely maintaining Occlumency as long as the locket is on her body".

Smaug lowered his head reluctantly, and pushed Cyrus over with the tip of his nose.

"Be careful not to expose..." Cyrus took her hand again worriedly, only Cyrus' Jupiter pendant remained on Hermione's neck, and that locket was stored in the empty in the wallet.

I don't know how long it will be before we meet again.

Not to mention, Hermione would be going to Hogwarts, which was being guarded by Death Eaters.

"Reorganize them. If you need anything, just call me with your watch... Don't force your way, remember the secret passage in Hogsmeade village, try the secret passage leading to the Whomping Willow... .”

"I know, I know..." Hermione stood on her tail unsteadily, and opened her arms towards Cyrus, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Their lips met, and after more than half a minute, the two of them parted panting together.

It was odd, as soon as she got up, Smaug would start dangling himself around... Hermione kicked him angrily at the thought.

The fire dragon flapped its wings and shot straight into the sky from the enlarged backyard of the museum. It rushed to the fresh air above and left the increasingly indifferent city. Those tall buildings became very small as Smaug rose.

The sun slid down a little more, and the sky turned indigo blue.

Its huge shadow swept across the ground like a great black cloud, and the city and market town receded below Hermione.

The fire dragon stopped again, and when it gradually descended to the ground, the sun had already set on the other side of the mountain.

Hermione sorted out her emotions, stood in an open grass field, and took another step forward, her feet touched the familiar blue brick ground, entering the oppressive darkness.

As the place where Cyrus once laughed, the current Hogsmeade village makes her both at ease and sad:

Every storefront is no longer as bright as before; some are just dark, and the originally narrow streets seem open because of no one;

The only lights left in the Three Broomsticks are candles in lanterns by the door.

But before Hermione reached the "haunted house", something happened --- a scream pierced the night sky where no stars could be seen. The sword of the mountain echoed.

And Hermione knew now why the candle by the door of the Three Broomsticks hadn't gone out:

A dozen or so Death Eaters wearing black cloaks and hoods suddenly rushed out of it, each of them holding their wands high.

Hermione immediately used the Disillusionment Charm to make herself invisible, stood against the wall, completely merged into the darkness, and moved away from the group of Death Eaters little by little.

Although she can solve it, she can't scare the snake away....

"Who?!" the Death Eater yelled.

"Could it be someone who ran out of curfew?" another person muttered.

"Impossible! The Dark Lord said that it is better to kill a person by mistake than to let another person go!" The Death Eater stopped the alarm, then turned his head and ordered, "Stay away... that person can't run far , Those who dare to violate the regulations now will be dealt with uniformly!"

Hermione heard the shouts of the group of people, so Hogsmeade village had been under control for some time.

The inexplicably added 'curfew' seemed to the Death Eaters to only dare to violate it now, and most likely it was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, or the gang of Potter or Cyrus.

The perfect Disillusionment spell...the group of Death Eaters brushed past Hermione without any problems.

"Is it Harry Potter wearing the Invisibility Cloak?"

"The Invisibility Cloak is coming!" The Death Eater shook his head, "I don't know, maybe not... let the dementors come looking for it!"

"Torn apart!!"

Hermione looked at the group of Death Eaters who were eager to try and gradually kicked their noses and faces, and they became angry. The silent cutting curse hit the Death Eater who was speaking in the middle from behind them.

The man immediately became disorganized, with his head and head separated.

"Where...behind you!!" The people around looked back in horror, but there was nothing but darkness.

"Run! Go get the dementors!!"
