"Luna?"
When Hermione saw Luna appearing at the door of the conference hall, she suddenly showed a surprised expression. But somehow, deep in her heart, a sigh of "It's really here" emerged at the same time.
"Oh! I'm sorry to bother you all... Miss Granger, Luna... she insisted on coming in, but I didn't stop her just now."
Fleur, who appeared behind Luna, felt very sorry for this. After all, even she knew very well that this was a very important meeting for many people present. It was indeed very rude for Luna to barge in so hastily.
However, Luna didn't care about that.
"Fleur, wait a minute, I'll eat sardine sandwiches with you later..." She patted Fleur's shoulder lightly, and then walked into the conference hall, saying as she walked, "Hermione, are you really?" Have you thought about it clearly? Although I don’t agree with you going to find Maka, I understand that you must really want to see Maka in your heart, right? "
"what are you saying?"
Seeing that Luna first came to the venue inexplicably and then said such abrupt words in front of everyone, Hermione felt a little at a loss.
Speaking of which, she was actually not good at dealing with emergencies like this. It was natural for her to feel confused at the moment.
After a pause, Hermione knew that facing so many people at this moment, the last thing she could do was to show her confusion. If these alliance member representatives feel that she is not reliable, it will be difficult to re-establish her prestige.
"Lou... Miss Lovegood, this is the venue of our Resistance Alliance. We are holding a very important emergency meeting. If there is anything, please wait until the meeting is over, okay?"
"Well, that's not possible!" Luna heard this and immediately shook her head and said, "When you finish this meeting, you are going to Birmingham, aren't you? Then it will be useless to say anything else—"
While she was speaking, she never stopped taking a step, walking quickly from the long table to Hermione's seat at the other end.
Of course, except for a few people such as Mrs. Maxim and the old housekeeper, the other witches and wizards here are obviously not very familiar with Luna, who has never been famous. Some people seemed to be offended when they saw her barging into the meeting hall to "make trouble" without being persuaded, and then stubbornly running to find Hermione.
"etc!"
Suddenly, a wizard sitting on a seat beside the long table stood up and suddenly stretched out his cane to block Luna's face.
"Miss, I don't know if you are a friend of Miss Granger, but right now we are having a very important meeting. We come from all over the world, not just to play - this meeting concerns many countries. The future of the forces and the people at all levels, I suggest you, Miss, go out and avoid it first!"
Almost all of the people sitting here are people who have been in high-level positions for a long time, so their words are naturally not very unpleasant. However, the implication of his words was actually very clear. At least he felt that a little girl like Luna was not suitable for appearing on such occasions.
However, perhaps it was Hermione's tough attitude that seemed to be the same as Maka's, which made this representative ignore the fact that he had to convince Hermione and Luna that they were of the same age.
"Who are you?"
As Luna was walking, she was stopped by the black cane, and she suddenly turned her head and glanced at him in confusion. But soon, she shook her head indifferently, waved her hands towards the other party and said:
"Forget it, please sit down first! I want to talk to Hermione."
Before he finished speaking, everyone saw that the wizard was shaken, then turned around with straight eyes and sat back on the chair obediently. Look at the way his hands are placed on the table, as if he is a good student who is listening carefully to the teacher's lectures.
This scene was naturally noticed by Hermione. So she immediately realized that Luna seemed to have been staying in Beauxbatons during this period, living a peaceful life as if she didn't care about everything, but in fact, she never relaxed.
Even looking at Luna's effortless posture just now, she may have a higher degree of mastery of the "rules of empathy" than her rules of gravity.
"Hermione, don't drive me away yet! Do you know? After hearing about your decision, I am actually very worried about you..."
After Luna asked the guy to sit down, she was not blocked by anyone else, which allowed her to finally reach Hermione quickly.
"Maka is in Winchester, right? I know, he doesn't seem to want us to find him very much, so... If you really want to obey Maka's will, then I will definitely raise my hands and feet to support you. your!"
As she spoke, she actually lifted up both hands and one foot, and even jumped slightly on the spot.
"Oh, it seems like the other leg can't be lifted," Luna muttered, then shook her head and said, "Anyway, if you really don't want to go to Winchester, then I will definitely support you."
"But, you have to 'sincerely' think that way!" Luna said, suddenly reaching out and pressing her hand on Hermione's chest, and said very seriously, "If you only do it out of anger... Hermione, you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now? You feel so suffocated, don't you?"
"Luna—"
"Hermione, don't say it, I can feel it." After Luna said this, she finally couldn't help hugging Hermione and whispered in her ear, "Go find him! I don't agree. , but... go find him! If he asks you to leave, then stalk him - you are the best at this, aren't you? "
From being at a loss at the beginning, to wanting to avoid talking in the middle, and now... Hermione's mood has been changing dramatically with Luna's every word.
In fact, maybe even she didn't realize that deep down in her heart, she really needed Maka as Luna said. But now that Luna's words gradually made it clear, she suddenly became confused.
Especially this hug from Luna at this moment, the caring warmth almost melted her.
Yes, although Luna didn't actually use it deliberately, it also came from her "rules of empathy". This kind of rule allows her to not only feel Hermione's mood personally, but also allows Hermione to feel Luna's thoughtfulness and kindness for the sake of the other person.
Just... to find Maka? Can you really do that yourself
"Hermione, you know? Maka is actually lonely too... I can feel it."
