This was probably the first time Hermione used the word "other" to address Maka.
And from the moment she said it, it probably meant that she would no longer give her full trust to the boy in front of her who was not only a classmate, but also a close friend and a teacher as she had always done.
However, in Hermione Granger's heart, the imprint belonging to Maka McClane will probably never be completely eradicated. But at least from now on, every time she faces the other person, her feelings for the other person will never be as flawless as before.
Is this simply because the two sides have differences in ideas? No, obviously not. Perhaps under the surface of Hermione's inability to agree with the other party's plan no matter what, what really shakes her is that the other party always wants to solve all the problems alone and refuses to let her participate in it. A posture of "I want to protect you".
Regardless of whether it was for her or the good of all of them, in short, it felt like no matter how hard you tried, it was in vain. It was really too bad!
Of course, Hermione didn't seem to really realize this at this moment.
"... Harry, don't be impulsive. But... I think you are right, he... is not Maka!"
Hermione looked directly at the sturdy black figure standing in front of the throne. She held her wand tightly in one hand and dragged Harry with the other, trying to get the latter to move away as much as possible - although Harry had already moved his wand. Gryffindor's sword was placed on the opponent's neck, but she had an intuition that this might not threaten the opponent at all, but would put Harry himself in danger.
Regardless of whether the person in front of him is Maka or not, he must be an extremely powerful target! After all, even if you put aside the uncertain soul inside, just the body of a demon is enough to make people extremely vigilant, right
However, Hermione soon discovered that she couldn't pull Harry back at all!
Although Harry had been stopped by Ginny's shout just now, the power of Gryffindor's sword had awakened the anger in his heart. It was already good to be able to forcefully hold the reins on the edge of the cliff that was about to fall into a whirlpool of fighting spirit. At this time, it was obviously impossible for him to step back, at least with Harry's current self-control ability.
But at this moment, everyone heard the low and hoarse voice suddenly speak again:
"Hermione, why are you stopping Harry? Let him give me a sword, and tonight's meeting, which seems to make you all somewhat unhappy... can be over."
He said.
"Then, you can no longer have any scruples about whatever you want to do in the future."
Is the man in front of me wearing the skin of a demon really not Maka, but the despicable Haierbo
Harry didn't care about it for now - with the influence of the Sword of Gryffindor, his judgment would definitely not be absolutely rational. As for Hermione and other people present, to be honest, no one really thought that the thing inside the demon body was definitely not Maka.
But whether it is from the perspective of myself and others as a member of the human race, or from the perspective of watching one of the zombie twins resolutely sacrifice her soul and life, if the person who committed the series of actions tonight People are really Maka's words.
Such a development is obviously unacceptable to the vast majority of people present.
So everyone remained silent. Whether it was Lupine, Kingsley, Ginny, Hannah, Ron, etc., everyone gave the right to speak tonight to Hermione and Harry. Because they are not only the strongest among all the human wizards present now, but they are also the two people who have the best relationship with Maka.
"... No, actually... there is also Miss Lovegood."
In front of the crowd in the center of the hall, Lu Ping seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously glanced at the blond figure who was still standing in front of the stairs, but then secretly shook his head.
Compared to Harry, who looked indignant, and Hermione, who was trying her best to be rational, the girl didn't seem to care about the actual situation at all. She just supported Maka wholeheartedly from beginning to end, and anything else that was right or wrong had nothing to do with her.
When it comes to her relationship with Maka, perhaps she is the most outstanding among everyone present! Is this kind of unreserved trust really good
Lupine still had no intention of expressing his opinions. He just closed his mouth and watched silently, frowning tightly.
And at this moment, another person suddenly spoke up again, and his cold words resounded throughout the hall.
"McLean, have you had enough?"
It's Snape, or rather, it's him again - today he showed up in London with an unknown reason that made others a little confused. He happened to have this special meeting as if he had calculated it well, but it still makes him confused even now. His ultimate goal is elusive.
But one thing is undoubtedly certain, even though Harry and Hermione have already questioned the identity of the person in front of the throne, when Snape spoke, he still called him "McLean" very decisively.
Just when everyone was uneasy, Snape raised his head slightly and continued:
"If you want to do something, then do it quickly! I personally will not support you or anything, but I will not deliberately obstruct it... I think Professor McGonagall and the others also have the same idea on this point. I know, this time It was you who gathered all of us here on purpose, so now, on behalf of Hogwarts, I will stay out of any form of plan you are going to implement next..."
After saying these words, Snape seemed to have finally completed everything on his trip. Before he finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight to the entrance of the hall. He actually wanted to leave directly.
No one stopped him, not even the living corpses, but the human wizards nominally headed by Lupin and Hermione just watched, watching him striding away with his usual black cloak in the wind. .
Only Maka, looking at Snape's retreating back, nodded slightly.
"As expected of Professor Snape."
I don’t know what he is “worthy of”.
A moment later, watching the palace door open and close again, Maka looked at the silver sword blade still resting on her shoulder and neck, and suddenly sighed silently.
Then, he simply pushed the Sword of Gryffindor away and stood up again.
"Since you are not in a hurry to drop the sword, let's give way first!" Maka said as she passed between the glaring Harry and Hermione who was still in a dilemma. For the first time tonight, she passed by that high Climb down the steps.
