Chapter 59: 'Miss Granger”

Chapter 59: “Miss Granger”

Is Professor Grindelwald the true Headmaster of Hogwarts? What does it have to do with us? Matthews voice grew colder. Hermione, were just ordinary first-year students.

But Hermione Grangers expression suddenly dropped.

Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill at any moment.

Matthew I miss my mom and dad so much I cant remember what they look like or the moments we shared but I can still feel their concern, tenderness, and love for me Hermione replied in a soft voice.

Hermiones voice wavered as sadness overtook her, and she sobbed softly.

She trembled, tears streaming down her face.

Matthew stood there, stunned, quietly observing the little girl crying.

Im sorry he whispered softly.

No, its me whos losing control. Hermione wiped the tears from her eyes. Matthew, I never dared to share this with anyone because they would tell me that now that Im at Hogwarts, I shouldnt dwell on my Muggle family. Theres no need to miss those in a different world

Except for you! She lifted her head, gazing at Matthew, and asked timidly, Shouldnt we all be the same?

Matthew understood what she meant. They were all children transitioning from the Muggle world to the wizarding world.

Though Matthew didnt have the same depth of attachment to his Muggle family, having only stayed with them for less than three months, he nodded gently and spoke softly, Of course. We are all the same!

Hermione quickly wiped away her tears, regaining her composure.

Simultaneously, she set aside the emotional episode and returned to their previous topic:

Yes, Professor Gellert Grindelwald must not be the real Headmaster, but Professor Rosier is temporarily masquerading as him. Thus, his previous intimidation tactics can only serve as a temporary measure. Once the true murderer lurking in Hogwarts discovers this

Isnt temporary deterrence enough? Matthew calmly interjected.

However, it seemed Matthew hadnt heard her as he remained engrossed in the book, seemingly captivated by its contents.

Matthew, what are you looking at? Hermiones impatience grew.

She acted impulsively, snatching the questionable book Matthew had borrowed from the library.

Her face blushed.

Pervert! She dropped the book on the floor as if it had shocked her.

Then, she swiftly gathered her belongings.

I thought we were the same! With those words, she left the History of Magic classroom without looking back.

Matthew stood there, innocence written all over his face.

Honestly, he hadnt anticipated Hermione would suddenly grab the book like that.

Yet, it was true that the book he had just borrowed contained some unsuitable for children content, explaining Hermiones drastic response.

Matthew picked up the book and turned to the previous page.

Aside from a short paragraph of text, the page featured a large picture

At the top was a woman in revealing attire, striking seductive poses.

Below, a small line read:

Succubus!

Matthew shook his head and continued to appreciate the picture.
