After escaping the crime scene, Leon returned to his dorm. However, his stomach was still empty. Perhaps it was because he had eaten something that had made his stomach work, but Leon seemed to be even hungrier now.
"It's not a good thing to continue like this.”
Holding his stomach, Leon stood in the dormitory and pondered. Hermione's current state was giving him a headache. Perhaps there were some things that needed to be clarified.
Although it felt good to have a girl like him, first of all, the education and traditional values that he had received did not allow him to lay his hands on underage girls. Moreover, even in the West, alchemists had to die. Leon would never do such a stupid thing that would start from three years and end up with the death penalty.
Secondly, Hermione's current good impression of him mostly came from the time they spent together during the summer vacation. At that time, because he did not want to be disturbed, he deliberately teased young Hermione in various ways, wanting her to retreat and leave angrily because she felt that he was not a good person.
Who would have thought that the little girl Hermione would not care about this at all? Instead, she blushed again and again, and her relationship with him became more and more familiar. They were walking on a path that Leon had never imagined. It was a standard unintentional willow tree that had grown into a willow tree.
Perhaps there was also the time when Quirrell attacked her. Although Quirrell's target was Leon, Hermione didn't know about it. Leon's subconscious protective action also brought great shock and gratitude to Hermione. From then on, Leon realized that Hermione seemed to have an inexplicable sense of dependence on him.
"In the end, it's still my fault. No, it's not my fault. It's the world's fault.”
Leon complained in his heart. Then, he walked out of the dormitory. He had to settle this matter. Otherwise, he would have to sneak into the kitchen to find food like the little badgers in the future.
In the Great Hall, many students had already finished eating and left, but most of them were the little badgers from Hufflepuff and the little snakes from Slytherin. Gryffindor and Lackwynlow, on the other hand, had no intention of leaving even after eating. They were paying attention to the two girls who were silently confronting each other at the Slytherin table.
"Hermione, come with me, I have something to tell you.”A light cough attracted their attention. Leon shook his head apologetically at Penelope and then said to Hermione,"
Hermione looked back at Leon and nodded. Then, she followed Leon's footsteps. The two of them left Hogwarts Castle one after another and came to the Black Lake outside the castle.
"Hermione, you're still young," As soon as he opened his mouth, Leon felt that his words were filled with the taste of an old father.
"Hmm?" Hermione looked at Leon in confusion, not understanding why Leon would suddenly mention this.
"You're only eleven years old. It's time for you to study hard and improve every day.”Leon added. After saying that, Leon felt more like an old father.
Hermione was not stupid. She understood what Leon meant, but she still looked up stubbornly. I don't understand what you mean." She had to hear it from Leon.
"Then I'll be straightforward. Before I turn eighteen, I don't think about anything other than my studies and life.”Leon said seriously. Some things had to be said.
"What about the girl from Lackenlaw?”Hermione retorted.
"I won't consider it." Leon replied, at the same time speechless at Hermione's knowledge that he and Penelope were really innocent.
"Including anyone?" Hermione demanded.
"Anyone." Leon answered firmly.
"I understand." Hermione suddenly smiled confidently."Then let's still be friends."
"Yes, I am." Leon saw that Hermione was actually smiling so brightly. He instantly felt that he had said something wrong and Hermione had misunderstood him. However, when he thought about their previous conversation, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
"Alright, it's only seven years anyway." Hermione nodded, then whispered, and then went forward to hold Leon's hand without any pretense."Let's go. I know you're definitely not full.”
"Um."
Although the matter had been explained clearly, Hermione's attitude did not feel right, such as her intimate actions.
"That…"
Before Leon could finish, Hermione interrupted,"Since we're friends, can't we even hold hands?”
"No, but you're a girl. Girls have to protect themselves outside and be reserved at the same time.”Leon explained awkwardly, trying to correct Hermione's values.
"If I don't care, what do you care? Besides, will you hurt me?”Hermione looked up at Leon, her smile widening.
"I don't know, but if you cross my bottom line one day, maybe.”Leon said seriously to Hermione. Although his words sounded heartless, these were Leon's true thoughts. He would not be a coward and be trapped by love. If he really encountered such a situation, even if the old hunter was facing him, he would not be merciful.
After all, Leon did not belong to this world, so he had no qualms about it. In this life, Leon planned to live for himself, and only for himself. As for what happened to Snape, of course, it was mainly because Leon was willing to make up for some of his past regrets.
"Then I won't touch it. Obviously, this kind of thing isn't your bottom line.”said Hermione jokingly, raising Leon's hand.
"Sigh…" Leon sighed. It really wasn't like that. He could only resign himself to his fate and treat it as having a brother of the opposite sex. Forget it, I'll just treat them as best friends. There's nothing wrong with brothers putting their arms around each other's shoulders, but it's very wrong to shake hands. I'm not an old bee.
Leon had thought that Hermione would leave in a huff once the conversation was over. Then, with time to calm her down, she would gradually forget everything. However, for some reason, things had developed in a strange way. Not only was Hermione not angry, but she seemed to have received some kind of promise. Her attitude became even more positive, which made Leon very confused.
On the other hand, Hermione was overjoyed. She knew Leon's personality and temper. Since he said that he would not consider these things before he turned eighteen, he really would not consider them. This gave Hermione a great sense of security.
Because she was really afraid that a beautiful girl like Penelope would approach Leon again. Now that she had this guarantee, Hermione was confident that she could keep Leon innocent until she had enough charm.
It was not that she did not know Leon's criteria for choosing a spouse. It was likely that Leon himself did not know about this. Hermione had long known that this guy liked mature girls.
When Hermione had accompanied Leon to buy necessities, she had noticed that Leon was always admiring the mature, beautiful, and good-looking women on the streets. As a girl, her feminine instincts had long made her notice Leon's interests and hobbies.
Leon frowned in confusion as he looked at Hermione, who was pulling him away happily. He was cursing crazily in his heart. Most of his understanding of women's emotions came from the Asian girls he had interacted with in his previous life.
However, he had never really interacted with Western women. He had only lived for eleven years, but the people he had interacted with were mostly the old hunter and others introduced by the old hunter. There were basically no girls before Hermione, so he could not understand why the reactions of Western and Eastern girls would be so extreme due to the cultural differences.
