Hufflepuff never works overtime

At this moment, a thought of pity popped into her head—poor Tarsila, it really has nothing to do with you.

Chapter 220 Six Suggestions

This news has a strong impact on Miriam, as can be seen from her ever-changing expression.

Hermione was a little uneasy. Although she felt that the other party's usual behavior would not make her secret known to everyone, this was the first person she shared with her. If the other party's attitude was very opposed, she might Let her suffer a great blow.

"Can you accept that? I mean... the fact that I'm gay," Hermione said softly, feeling that the word was a little hot, before adding nervously.

"But it doesn't mean I like girls, it's just... I don't know, Faith was the first person I realized I liked, so I think I might like girls?"

Hermione talked more and more, and she was so anxious that she couldn't figure out what she was going to say.

"Wait for a moment," Milian made a pause gesture at the other party. She rubbed her head impatiently, her long fiery red hair was ravaged and messed up, and muttered softly, "I thought It's just my illusion, I didn't expect it to be true..."

Hermione stopped talking immediately after the other party spoke, her sweaty palms kept rubbing against her knees, her back straightened.

Hearing the few words in the other party's mouth, she asked suspiciously, "What is true?"

"Huh? Don't worry about it...it's nothing," Miriam certainly couldn't tell the other party stupidly. She occasionally enjoys observing the interaction between friends. The most amazing thing is that the other party just happened to find her and come to discuss with her. this matter.

"As your friend, I will definitely support your decision. As for the matter of falling in love with the same sex... In fact, the wizarding world will not be as afraid of it as the Muggles, and the Ministry of Magic will not punish you for it. What are you?"

Hermione was overjoyed immediately after hearing the other party's clear statement. She almost wanted to give him a big hug, but then she thought, she has a girl she likes now, and it's not good to do so.

Even if Faith doesn't know, it's okay, eh!

Although the purpose of Miriam's words was indeed to reassure the other party, her own mood was not as clear as it seemed.

Because she knew that what she said was just information on the surface. It was no one's business for powerful wizards to like who or what they liked. They could change the environment, people around them, and even the law for their love.

Even ordinary wizards can hide with their other half at worst. Besides, in the eyes of many people, the love between wizards and Muggles is even more incomprehensible than same-sex love...

Miriam's eyes were lowered, with a hint of mockery and depression in her eyes.

As for those children in big families with few people, I'm afraid they don't even have the right to choose who they spend their lives with, let alone the freedom to pursue love.

It is absolutely impossible for those old-fashioned to agree.

Miriam shook her head and pulled herself out of those troubles. You must know that there is still a confused lion in front of her, waiting for her to point out the way.

"Ahem," she cleared her throat a little. Before she formally 'applied' for the position as a military advisor, as Faise's friend, she still has one last thing to confirm.

"Hermione," Miriam looked seriously into the other's eyes, "although this is not forbidden in the wizarding world, once you start doing it, even if you succeed in the end, you will be in the minority after all. Do you understand the question?"

"Hmm..." Hermione also restrained her joy, and nodded silently.

"You will definitely meet a lot of people who you can't accept no matter what, they may be your friends, your parents, or even Faise herself, and you will make her face the same difficulties .”

Hermione sat on the chair with her head down and said nothing. It took a long time before she tightened her clothes and said, "I know,"

"After I realized that I fell in love with Faith, these things have been rolling in my head," Hermione blinked her sour eyes. In fact, she didn't even grasp Miriam's attitude before she came to the appointment today. how will it be.

"I have hesitated, been distressed, and even thought about whether I should give up this relationship and let the relationship between me and Faise continue peacefully. Maybe one day I will suddenly find that I can return to the position of a friend."

Miriam hesitated to speak, she bit her lower lip nervously, fearing that she might have spoken too harshly and cut off her friend's love thread.

Hermione took a deep breath, and then showed a slightly shy smile, "But I found that I still can't give up,"

"As long as I stay next to Faith, I will be very excited. The idea of ​​trying to please her by all means is crowded in my head. I feel that if I give up without even trying, I will spend the rest of my life. It’s impossible to let go.”

"I know this is not an easy path to take, and I know this bet is very risky..."

"But when I thought that if I won, I would be qualified to be the most important person in Faise's life, I couldn't hold back my heart, and even wanted to run to her immediately and tell all these words. she."

Hermione was excited, her brown eyes sparkled, and she finally said seriously, "I know that if Faith chooses me, our journey will not be so easy, but I will always be by her side. Just let me make up for the lack caused by those who don't support her."

"Since you've already figured it out for yourself, there's no need for an outsider like me to say anything," Miriam raised her eyebrows at the other party, "Then let's get to the point quickly, and we can't let you come here for nothing today." Let’s go, although I don’t have any practical experience, but if it’s about theory, I’m still confident that I can chat a few more words than you, a nerd.”

"Who's a nerd..." Hermione couldn't help curling her lips.

"Simply put, I think you have two options right now."

"Let me talk about the first one first." Milian raised a finger at the other party and said with a serious expression, "I personally think that Faise is a person who doesn't like others to cross the line. She is used to and enjoys everything around her. Personal existing behavior patterns, so as long as it is within her bottom line, no matter how noisy you are, she will tolerate you as much as possible."

"It's true that as long as we become friends, Faise is easy to talk to." Hermione nodded in agreement, and then asked a little puzzled, "Then what should I do? You said it... She doesn't like people who cross the line. "

"This is a method that only works for you. Of course, the risk is quite high." Milian clenched her fist and raised her mouth, pretending to cough lightly, "You can threaten her."

"threaten?"

"Because you are very special to Faith." Milian glanced at Hermione with a complicated expression. After her own words, the other party sat on a chair and laughed to herself, "Her bottom line for you As if it didn't exist, no matter how unhappy or even angry what you did, she never thought of giving up on you."

Milian's words brought Hermione the same pride as the teacher praised her after she got her grades. The little lion touched the tip of his nose and lowered his head slightly to prevent the corners of his mouth from being too arrogant. "So, threat means ?”

"Literally, you just tell Faise directly that if she doesn't want to be with you, your friendship will be affected, and you may not have any contact with her from now on."

The empty classroom fell into silence, only the sound of the wind outside the window was constantly knocking on the glass. Milian continued to speak slowly, "Although Faise will definitely be very angry at the beginning, after she weighs it, I think there is still a high probability. Take yours."

"This...isn't that good," Hermione frowned deeply, "She will be very disappointed in me, and if Faith is unwilling to accept it in the end, wouldn't we not even have to be friends gone?"

"I thought that when you made up your mind, you had already realized that your relationship would lead to the worst..."

Miriam carefully observed the other party's expression, and continued to probe, "But this is actually the most secure and efficient method, which is equivalent to adding Faise's friendship to you to this bet. Bet she also has a love for you, the probability is much higher."

"I, I still don't think it's good to do this..."

Hermione revealed her face with a gloomy face, no matter how much she longed to be the most special existence of the other party, the fundamental reason was because she liked Faise, since she liked someone, she naturally hoped that Faise would also fall in love with her because of her identity change. happy.

If threats are used, it seems that this relationship was based on Faise's tolerance and pain from the very beginning, so wouldn't that run counter to her purpose...

When Miriam heard that Hermione didn't choose the first option, she breathed a sigh of relief. Sensing the increasingly suspicious look in her eyes, she immediately raised her second finger.

"So I recommend you to choose the second method."

The author's words:

Today's chapter is very fat!

Ahem, it seems that the little lion didn't think about anything, but he still made up his mind!

Miriam complained in her heart: This person... said as if she was going to get married, but marriage can also be divorced, forget it, don't hit her

Chapter 220 VII

The moon poked its head out from the clouds, and the bright moonlight shone on the profiles of the two girls.

"Let Faise gradually get used to your changing status. You can't tell her your feelings for her directly like today... That will scare her. What's worse, once she starts to escape, you It’s almost impossible to succeed.”

"But in this case," Hermione turned her head and stared blankly at the starry sky outside the window, "it sounds like it will take a long time, I'm not sure I can hide it that well, and I'm not sure I can bear it... "

"Don't you think that after we finish talking tonight, you can confess your love tomorrow?"

Hermione opened her mouth, although she didn't say anything, but from that slightly innocent face, it showed that she really thought so before.

Miriam rubbed her brows, and sighed inwardly to the impatient lion in front of her, "Imagine Hermione, if one day, without warning, Weasley suddenly confessed to Potter, he would be What's the reaction?"

"Ron?" Hermione frowned, showing an awkward expression, "Harry must think he was given some strange love potion."

"Hmm," Miriam nodded approvingly, "what if Weasley didn't say anything and just kissed Potter suddenly?"

"Oh..." Hermione shook her head immediately, her face turned pale under the moonlight, "Don't let me imagine such a terrible picture, I believe Harry will use his wand and fist to wake him up .”

"That's right, that's because in our opinion, their usual way of getting along is that they are very good friends. If they do such a thing without any warning, most people will definitely fall into panic."

Miriam nodded generously, "But I don't know if you will notice that the way you and Faise get along has surpassed her limit for ordinary friends since a long time ago."

Hermione raised her chin with a little satisfaction, ran her fingers around her curly hair, and snorted softly from the tip of her nose.

Ignoring the flamboyant fool in front of me, Miriam continued to explain, "If it was you, even if you did something intimate with her suddenly, it is absolutely impossible for her to accept the outrageous behavior of other friends." , as long as you have a plausible reason, she will justify your behavior in her own mind."

"But what's the point of doing that?" Hermione shook her head puzzled, "If I don't tell her my feelings for her, and she can justify my actions, wouldn't it be no matter what I do, in In her heart, I'm just a good friend after all?"

"No," Miriam narrowed her eyes, with a mysterious smile on her lips, "you have to test her bottom line step by step, even if it's a little too much sometimes, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't take the initiative to pierce the last layer of paper, Faith will definitely condone some of your 'offensive' towards her, and use her evasive psychology to observe whether she will be disgusted by your intimacy."

Hermione swallowed carefully, the friend in front of her really looked like a witch in a fairy tale at this time - the kind who was very demagogic.

"But as long as your temptations are frequent enough and your behavior continues to deviate in the direction of crossing the line, no matter how much Faise can convince herself, she will gradually become suspicious in her heart, but out of fear of destroying the relationship between you, she absolutely cannot Take the initiative to ask you."

Hermione nodded thoughtfully, "In this way, as long as I continue to test, I will know whether Faise can accept my behavior towards her that is almost on the level of a lover, and when I finally express my heart, because She has already guessed in her heart, so she won't be frightened."

"Yes, the most important thing is that even if you find that she can't accept your feelings, because you haven't broken it, you still have room to return to the position of friends, and the two parties won't break up."

Miriam lifted her eyelids slightly, and said slowly, "Hermione, you have to understand that you are not doing Professor Snape's potions homework, you are not necessarily right or wrong, you can take it step by step. Come, until you are sure that Faith can accept all this, and tell her with your actions that changing your identity is not a bad thing."

"You need to do it step by step, do you understand? You have to be patient, let her fall into the net you prepared little by little, and don't reveal your true intention until the last moment, so that even if Faise finds out halfway, she chooses to struggle or Retreat, you are still her best friend, if it goes well, she will slowly sink into it, let her be mentally prepared to close the net again, and she will be with you willingly."

Hermione couldn't help licking her lips when she heard the other party's description, a lot of beautiful reveries about the future popped up in her head, and she said with a smile on her face, "Maybe Faise can't help being with me first. Confessions are not sure."

"Then stop dreaming," Milian immediately interrupted the other party's imaginings, "Even if Faise really realized her feelings for you, she would never say it out on her own initiative, do you understand? Absolutely." Impossible... If you want me to say, she is the type who will write all her regrets in a suicide note and bury her in the coffin with herself."

"Sounds like something Faise would do..." Hermione laughed out loud, and she scratched her cheek lightly with her fingers, "I seem to understand what you mean, this does sound like a very good idea." pretty good idea."

"Thank you Miriam," the girl stood up from the chair and stretched her waist, her moonlight-lit eyes sparkled with confidence and excitement, "After chatting with you, I feel that I understand what I should do. A lot."

"Don't be polite to me. After all, if you can really be together, it will be a good thing for me."

Hermione grinned, she was quite touched that her friend was so concerned about her affairs, and she asked casually, "But why do you know so much, I remember you haven't really been in love, have you?"

"Read more books, Hermione." Miriam looked at the other party with pity on purpose, reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, "Stop reading those useless textbooks."

----------------

The author's words:

Yesterday, a judge asked why Miriam made an obviously unreasonable first proposal. It’s a very good question. Unfortunately, it will be a little redundant to explain it in the text, so I will explain it here for CP fans╰ (*°▽°*)╯

Miriam really cares about the two friends, especially in her heart, she will be more inclined to Faith

The threat plan she said to Hermione is true to some extent, because Faith has too little, and her connection in the Muggle world is only the Granger family, and they even have a part. She entrusted her little family affection, so Faise couldn't bear the result of losing Hermione.

Milian knew very well that Hermione couldn't adopt the first proposal, but she still had to say it, because she had to have such a concept in Hermione's mind - she couldn't invisibly exert that kind of pressure on Faise when she confessed

It's possible that Hermione didn't have this intention, but Faise herself would think of it, so her final promise might still be due to 'coercion', which is something that no one wants to happen

Chapter 220 Eight

"I am back."

Humming a ditty, Miriam walked into the bedroom with light steps, and casually hung her gray-stained robe on the hanger.

"What's the matter? It looks like something good has happened. Has Hermione gone back?"

Faith had just returned to the dormitory after taking a shower. She stroked her long hair. The temperature had turned cold, and she could even see the heat in her hair dissipating into the air.

Tarsila, who was huddled under the quilt, poked her head out and winked at the other party, "Is everything going well?"

"Hmm," Miriam said with a smile on her face, casting the cleansing spell a little recklessly, and even deliberately turned around and said to Faith with a little teasing, "You care about her very much."

"what?"

The girl squinted her eyes in some puzzlement, and leaned leisurely on the head of the bed, with her left leg crossed over her right.

The box on the side made Faise's waist feel a little uncomfortable, she casually pushed it a little towards the wall, "You make me uneasy by laughing like that, you are probably planning something?"

That's right, I'm still playing with your idea.

Miriam smiled calmly, and secretly said in her heart that it was naturally impossible for her to sell Hermione directly, but it has to be said that Faise's sense of smell for such things is really sensitive.

"How come, it's just that Hermione encountered some small problems, and I helped her solve them by the way."

"Okay?" Faith was still a bit suspicious, but the limp limbs after the bath made her unable to cheer up—although her class schedule was not as exaggerated as Hermione's, it was not the same thing to balance studies and training at the same time. an easy job.

She wanted to ask a few more questions, but her eyelids were slowly drooping, and Faise stopped wiping her hair long ago, and the remaining water stains wet her shoulders.

"Face? If you're sleepy, go back to the box and sleep, or you'll catch a cold."

Miriam heard a few murmurs of unknown meaning intermittently coming from her ear, and when she turned her head, she saw that the other party was indeed huddled on the side of the simple bed, her eyes were already closed.

"Uh-huh……"

Sleepiness occupied Faise's brain's ability to think. Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, and Hermione needs to do her disgusting amount of elective homework, and she only needs to sleep until she wakes up naturally, and then go to the library to visit her. .

Faith yawned again with a drowsy expression, her eyes were so sore that she couldn't keep her eyes open. The surge in homework this semester has almost drained her energy. I can't imagine that when the fifth grade is about to prepare for the OWL exam, How tired will I be...
