Hufflepuff never works overtime

"But it seems that she has convinced you. Hermione must have said a lot of bad things about me to you, really... It's like I'm abusing that child."

Mrs. Granger's tone seemed to be talking about the ignorant kitten at home, while Faith touched the tip of her nose guiltily. She had indeed heard a lot of complaints these days, and it was the kind that didn't repeat itself every day.

"She must understand your painstaking efforts," Faith tried her best to cover up for the other party, "Although Hermione sometimes acts a little impulsively, she is so smart that it is impossible not to understand, and she often said in school miss you."

This is the advantage of calling, without face-to-face communication, Faise will not let the other party see her blushing face and evasive eyes.

"She's just too smart, too assertive..." Mrs. Granger sighed worriedly, but quickly changed her tone, and told Faith patiently, "I left a lot in the refrigerator for you. Eat less, let Hermione remember to heat it up, and call us anytime if there is an emergency."

"Okay, Mrs. Granger." Fayse heard Mr. Granger's voice urging to board the plane from the other end of the phone, and she really breathed a sigh of relief. The embarrassment should be over here.

"By the way, little Faith,"

The other party's next sentence made her heart hang again. Faith blinked her eyes and twirled her fingers uneasily on the phone line, "I'm listening. Is there anything else you want?"

"Your image of a good boy in my heart has not been destroyed."

The brisk tone came to her ears, and Faise felt that the top of her head was about to smoke, and said goodbye to each other stiffly, and the moment she hung up the phone in her hand, her body limply leaned against the wall.

"This kind of thing happens a few times...my heart will really be overwhelmed."

In order to share the thrilling morning moments with Hermione as soon as possible, Faith packed her luggage a little faster. Anyway, with Rabbi and Mercury around, even if she really forgot something important, it would be okay to bring it over. Too long a delay.

As Hermione was looking forward to it, the rhythmic knock on the door finally sounded in the silent room - in order to wait for the other party to come, she even muted the TV.

She immediately sprang up from the sofa, and ran to the door wearing slippers on her feet "slap, slap". The moment her hand touched the metal doorknob, she didn't know if it was the effect of static electricity, and her heart throbbed violently.

Can't wait to open the heavy door, the dazzling sunlight and the figure of the other party came into view, making Hermione a little dizzy.

And her body had already reacted first, cheering and pounced on the opponent.

Chapter 160 Four

Although they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, Faise actually didn't really feel the difference between the two because Granger Radio would share with her the trivial things of life from time to time.

At this time, Hermione was dressed at home, her slender arms were wrapped around Faise's neck, and her whole body hung on her body like a koala, although the other party restrained herself from arching her head in her arms like she did when she was a child. Back and forth, but Faise subconsciously grabbed each other's hand, making the distance between the two extremely close.

The fragrance that belonged to the other party mixed with the smell of shampoo in the hair penetrated into her nose. Faith could see the looming collarbone under Hermione's collar from one side of her head. When she accidentally glanced at it, she immediately moved away. line of sight.

Suppressing the strange thoughts in her heart, Faise comforted herself that it might be because she didn't have lunch and she was a little hungry. She patted the other person's back lightly, "Hermione, won't you invite me in?"

"I'm sorry I haven't seen anyone other than my parents for a long time, I'm a little excited," Hermione remembered that they were still standing at the gate, and quickly let go of Faise, whose face was already blushing, and grabbed the other's wrist, and then Pulled her into the house.

"You came so early, I thought it would be nice if you could catch dinner, have you eaten yet?"

Faith handed over the suitcase in her hand to the other party, and touched her shriveled stomach, "Not yet, but it's not my meal time yet, so I'm not very hungry."

Hermione sighed helplessly when she heard this, first she put the other party on the sofa, then ran into the kitchen to get Faith a glass of juice, and she didn't forget to move the box to the second floor.

Seeing the figure of the other party coming in and out busy for her, Faise felt a little unsteady for a while, she stretched her neck and looked at Hermione who was struggling with the suitcase on the stairs, "Do you need my help?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Hermione gritted her teeth, and less than a minute later, there was another sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. "I really hate that rule that minors cannot use magic outside the school."

Faith saw the other party rushing into the kitchen again with brisk steps, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "Indeed, after getting used to the convenience brought by magic, it doesn't feel good to be a Muggle again."

"That's not the case." Hermione brought out another biscuit, and then leaned carelessly on the sofa, watching Faith stuff things into her mouth like a little squirrel, "I just don't like others being bound by rules my feeling."

Faith glanced at Hermione in surprise, and after chewing to swallow the food in her mouth, she said slowly, "I thought following the rules was your specialty."

"The premise is that such a rule is reasonable and meaningful." Hermione thought of the treatment Harry received at the Dursleys' house recently, and how much she hated her aunt from the lines in each other's words. My friends feel unfair, those people just rely on Harry not being able to use magic, that's why they bully him wantonly...

"Is it because of Potter?"

Seeing the little lion's swollen cheeks, Faise thought of the other party's complaints on the phone last night. Even though she could only hear the voice, she could feel Hermione's deep dissatisfaction with that vicious person. Te can bear it. If I were myself, I would definitely not be willing to live under the same roof with such a person.

"Yeah, I don't know how long that woman will stay there. If Ron didn't go on a trip, Harry could still live with him anyway." Hermione angrily took the remote control in her hand and changed a few randomly. The second station ended up on a news channel.

What attracted her attention was a thin man with a disheveled face and a beard, holding a picture of the criminal number with both hands, and a line of words underneath, wanted fugitive—Sirius Black.

"If Potter really can't bear it, he can actually move to my house to make a living for a while. Anyway, there is no one there except the rabbi now." Faith glanced at the news on TV, and said with some emotion, "How could such a dangerous person be let go?" If you escape, the rules will still be exploited, no matter where you are.”

"Actually, this man... I saw his wanted notice in the Daily Prophet," Hermione hurried upstairs, and when she came back, she was holding a stack of things in her hand, which was different from ordinary newspapers. The pictures on them turned out to be movable.

"That's right... Sirius Black, once used magic to blow up a whole street of Muggles."

Listening to Hermione reading the arrest warrant aloud to herself, Faith frowned, "It's unbelievable that such a person could escape from Azkaban, and it sounds too magical."

"That's right, so I'm worried about your safety. Why don't you move to our house after my mother comes back and I discuss it with her?"

"But Hermione, do you know that Rabbi is actually much better as a house-elf than an ordinary wizard?" Faith blinked her eyes, "And...Mrs. things here."

"what?"

Hermione's eyes widened all of a sudden, and the biscuit in her hand slid down to the sofa. After listening to Faise's explanation, she was barely relieved.

"Oh my god, this sounds too coincidental. Fortunately, my mother didn't pursue what I kept from her. I said why she had prepared so many things at home..." Hermione's little eyes were disturbed when she said this. She still couldn't help but glance in the direction of the phone. If she didn't confirm it herself, she still wouldn't feel at ease.

After all, she didn't know if this was a set of excuses that her mother came up with temporarily in order to save her face in front of Faise, and she couldn't go to Diagon Alley if she promised...

Hermione couldn't help shivering, her fluffy long hair exploded according to her mood, but she still tried to divert her attention from this guess, and persuaded her earnestly, "I know the magic of house elves. You are stronger than ordinary wizards, but judging from the appearance, you are the only one living there, and those vicious gangsters must be picking on you."

"But if I don't come, you are the only one in your family?"

Hermione tugged Faith's soft cheek and said angrily, "So you're here now!"

"It hurts, it hurts... If you use such force, your face will almost be torn off by you!" Faise covered her side face, and looked at the other party with watery eyes accusingly, "Have you not dealt with people for too long? rough!"

"I'm concerned about your well-being... Who made you so ungrateful, hmph, come and live here as you like."

Thinking that she had been rejected by the other party several times, and that this time she had to beg for the cohabitation with her, Hermione only felt depressed and said angrily on purpose.

Faise saw that the other party started to fiddle with the remote control in her hand again, her pouting mouth was almost ready to hold a bottle of oil, it was rare for Hermione to show a little girlish coquettishness, she obediently moved her body a little, Rubbed his head against the opponent's shoulder.

"Are you really unhappy?"

The author's words:

Yesterday I felt that the release time was out of reach, so I made a supplementary file. For the convenience of everyone, I don’t need to type the link manually, so I used Youdao notes that can be shared with QR codes, and then hung up within an hour (┬＿┬)

Finally, I used the method of Youdao Notes to set hyperlinks. The password written on the link is Hermione’s birthday.

Chapter 160 Five Letters

"No," Hermione heard the flattery in Faith's tone, she suppressed the smile in the corner of her eyes, coughed lightly, and deliberately pushed the other's head away with her fingers, "Come on, we're not kids anymore .”

Faith's eyes widened in shock when she heard this. Under her gaze, Hermione cocked her legs artificially, pulled out a newspaper from the table, and pretended to read it seriously.

"I don't know who was hanging on me at the door just now." Not seeing the other party's appearance, Faise deliberately pretended to be scared, and hugged her arms and shrank to the corner of the sofa, "I understand , you must be someone who used compound potion to disguise Hermione, quickly reveal her true form!"

For a moment, Hermione really thought that the other party had misunderstood. Just as she was anxious to explain, she saw the wanton arc of Faise's mouth from the side of the newspaper, and she retracted her elongated head.

In order to cover up her embarrassment, she didn't even have time to read the newspaper in her hand, she hurriedly turned a page, and said, "Childish."

"Naive? Who is more naive now, me?" Faith laughed so hard that her body was trembling. In order to take care of the other party's self-esteem, she had to hold back her voice, and she didn't know where the slippers on her feet were bumped. .

She simply put her feet on the sofa, curled up with her knees hugged, her face flushed from suppressed laughter was hidden between her knees, and her eyes behind the glasses were secretly observing Hermione.

This is the legendary puberty?

Knowing the nature of the other party, Faise doesn't think that Hermione's mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes in this short month. After all, every time she calls the other party, the little lion will talk endlessly about Granville. Mrs. Jeff ordered her to go to bed.

She is too mature to be urged to sleep by her mother, isn't she?

Looking carefully at the side face of the other party, with the TV buzzing in her ears, Faise found that Hermione's facial features seemed to have really grown a lot during the summer vacation, and it might be because she wore that suit every day at school. Even if there is any change in the robe, I can't see it.

The scene that she accidentally glimpsed when she entered the room suddenly jumped out again, and the strange feeling in her heart resurfaced again. Faith subconsciously stretched out her hand and pinched her earlobe, her eyes wandering in thought.

Well... it's true that some areas have grown.

When Faise was leaning on the armrest of the sofa in a daze, she finally met someone, but Hermione, who couldn't talk about it because she wanted to maintain her image, was suffocated.

She drank up the juice she brought to Faith, and turned her clever head quickly, trying to find a suitable topic to chat with.

In fact, before the other party came to the house, she had already accumulated a lot of interesting and bad things that she wanted to share, and they were all written in a notebook. Unfortunately, she forgot to take it when she just went downstairs, and she didn't know where to start talking for a while.

Just when the two fell into a weird silence, a window in the living room was suddenly knocked hard, awakening their thoughts.

"Hermione, there's an owl outside."

Faith didn't recognize the owl's appearance, which meant that it might belong to Weasley or the school. After all, Mr. Savior's snowy owl was still very recognizable.

"Ah, Mom asked me to help her take the letter in." Hermione grabbed a coat from the hanger, draped it over her shoulders, and ran out without even changing her shoes.

When she came back, there was an extra stack of letters in her hand. She patiently wiped off the ashes of her slippers on the carpet at the door. While looking at the letters in her hand, she sat back on the sofa.

"Isn't it raining outside? I think the weather is gloomy." Faith glanced at the other party's coat, but did not notice any raindrops. "If Mrs. Granger sees you like this, she will definitely be lectured. What if Yu catches a cold?"

Hermione raised her eyebrows and took off her coat, "No, I'm wearing it just in case, didn't you see that the owl's feathers are not wet?"

When asked by the other party, Faise couldn't help being stunned for a moment, she really didn't care about such trivial things, "Your observation ability is really terrifying..."

Hermione sorted the letters in her hand into two stacks, and the extra one was put in the cabinet, and the clothes were hung back in place by the way, "I remember that my mother checked the mailbox just the day before yesterday, and there were so many letters for them. "

"It's not too little for you, is it?" Faith glanced at the envelopes of different sizes on the coffee table, "I may not receive so many letters in one summer vacation..."

"A lot of the letters I receive are not serious." Hermione casually stuffed a few letters that seemed meaningless at a glance into the trash can, and first chose a package with a very exotic style—the same as the owl just now. The one that was delivered.

"Ron actually bought presents for me and Harry, uh..." Hermione unwrapped the package without expecting, and her eyes lit up when she saw a thick book inside, but after reading After the title of the book, he showed a dumbfounding expression.

""How to Make a Mummy" looks very cool," Faith leaned her head towards Hermione's ear when she heard the other party's hesitant voice, "Weasley is so considerate , you will need it in a few decades.”

Hermione gave the schadenfreude helplessly, and the small card that Ron sent with the book said - I found this in a second-hand bookstore, I hope you like it.

After all, it was also the heart of a friend, and although this heart seemed unreliable, Hermione put it aside for the time being.

While Hermione was checking other letters, Faith casually glanced at the trash can that was almost full, and pulled out an unopened letter with some doubts, "Hermione, what are you? Didn't you throw it wrong?"

Hermione was struggling with an invitation to a community charity event. She glanced at the letter in Faise's hand and waved her hand casually, "It's just a notification of medical insurance. Anyway, Dad helped me apply, so it must be fine."

"I think it's better to take a look." Faise took the knife from the other party's hand, "You don't mind if I do it for you?"

"Hmm, why bother?"

Faith glanced briefly at the contents of the letter, except for the outrageously high insurance amount, it was indeed just a fairly official notification letter, and just as she was about to send the letter back to the trash can, a line caught her attention .

"Dear Miss Hermione Granger, your application for children's health insurance has been approved..." Faith purposely read this passage aloud, seeing Hermione's instantly stiff expression, she tilted her head and pretended to be puzzled. .

"Miss Granger, who is not a child, why did you apply for child insurance?"

Hermione blushed and snatched the paper from the other party's hand, crumpled it up and stuffed it into the trash can, "Because I'm only one month away from turning 1! And child insurance will be cheaper, you and I apply The conditions are the same, okay?"

Faise just spread her hands innocently, "I can't afford such expensive private medical insurance. I usually rely on the medicines at home for minor illnesses, and I have to wait in line for the NHS for checkups."

The little lion, who was still in a shy state, only hummed a few times after hearing the other party's explanation. This guy is really bad!

"It turns out that Tarsila also sent you a letter." After uncovering the child's scar, Faise covered the child's scar back. She happened to see the familiar envelope on the table. I brought it here and wanted to share it with you, but now it seems unnecessary.”

The author's words:

Although it is said that there is a main line outline, when I actually write every day, I only know the plot two hours before everyone...

Chapter 160 Six

"What kind of picture is it? She didn't pack it carefully, the owl was blown by wind and rain on the way here, wouldn't it be damaged..."

Randomly flipping over the photo in her hand, the funny self on it made her stop halfway through her speech, Hermione's mouth shrunk, and she looked helplessly at Faith who was watching the show.

"Are you going to let her play tricks on me like that?"

In the photo, her eyes are wide open without blinking, obviously it was taken when she was petrified, but the hand that was originally held in front of her, holding the message of the basilisk, was inserted with a rough painted Handmade torches of paint.

This is not pretending to be the Statue of Liberty...

"I wasn't there when she took this photo." Faith stroked Hermione's long hair with a smile, and messed up the hairstyle that she took care of with great difficulty. What do you think of the zero-point test paper?"

"Okay, if you don't help me, you still want to play pranks with her, right?"

Hermione aimed at Faise's troublesome hand with a head hammer. If they didn't go out today, their hair would be messy. Anyway, she just wanted to show it to the other party, but she didn't expect that the dull person didn't respond at all!

"Are these photos actually moving?"
