Chapter 268: You Have Made Very Good Friends

~7 min read 1,210 words

Hermione's thoughts had always been a bit different from John's.

John had been saying that Ryan was pure-blood, and his family was worried that making friends with him would make him someone to be liquidated by the Death Eaters.

Therefore, John and the others had always been very caring about Ryan's situation.

But they seemed to have forgotten that John was the one who was truly standing at the cusp of the storm.

"Why do you always only think of others and not yourself?"

"How idle are the Death Eaters to go and catch an unknown person to establish their prestige?"

"Ryan and the others making friends with you might be targeted, yes, but at least it would have to be after we are completely defeated and Voldemort is completely in power that they would have the mind to flip through these old accounts."

"And you, a Muggle-born genius boy, uncovered the truth of Voldemort's resurrection plot, and then did an exclusive interview with great fanfare."

"Are you afraid that Voldemort won't notice you?"

Listening to this reprimand from Hermione, but also with a thick tone of concern, John was stunned for a moment.

After all, in his view, he had strength that surpassed all of them.

Standing at the very front was also a matter of course.

So compared to his own safety, he would care more about whether his companions could safely retreat behind the safety line.

Now he was speechless by these words from Hermione.

Looking at the serious and worried expression on Hermione's face, John didn't avoid it.

Looking at her seriously, he said softly.

"Don't worry Hermione, I have a sense of proportion."

Hermione pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak. She knew she couldn't stop John, so she could only hold his hand and stay silent for a long time.

On the other side.

The interview in the room also came to an end.

"Oh~ so that's it, so John can be so strong, all thanks to you."

Mr. Lovegood said to himself while recording Titus's words.

"That's right, John is just a Muggle-born, without our pure-blood escort, how could he have such achievements today?"

Titus patted his chest and said very proudly.

Since it was John's exclusive interview, they naturally chatted about John's problems.

However, they kept putting gold on themselves.

For example, some of John's achievements couldn't be separated from their help.

Luna on the side listened and smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"By the way, we don't need to be anonymous."

Ryan on the side added. Titus and Ethan looked at Ryan when they heard this, but didn't object.

"Good, no problem."

The interview with the three of them ended here.

Titus and the three walked out happily.

"John, our interview is over, it's your turn."

"Good, then see you at the Great Hall later."

John nodded, then walked toward the room, and by the way pulled Hermione in.

Luna was sitting at the table at this time, supporting her chin and looking at John, and said something inexplicable.

"John, you have made very good friends."

"Ah?"

John was stunned when he heard this, but Luna didn't explain anything.

Just as he wanted to ask, Luna also stood up and followed Titus and the others back to the castle.

Mr. Lovegood, who was sitting opposite, spoke first.

"Mr. Merrick, this is your little lover, right?"

"... Cough! Mr. Lovegood, please be serious, we are serious lovers."

Hermione was choked by these sudden words, coughed lightly, and emphasized seriously.

"Oh~ okay okay, excuse me."

"Then let's start with Miss Girlfriend."

Mr. Lovegood had a knowing expression and asked Hermione again.

"Ah... uh... he..."

Hermione was asked by these words, her cheeks slightly hot, looking at John, such words were not meant to be said in front of John...

And she didn't want to accept the interview either!

This was just confusedly asked...

"He..."

Just as Hermione opened her mouth, John stared with wide eyes, looking like he was very looking forward to hearing some praise from Hermione's mouth.

Immediately, Hermione changed her tune.

"He is just an idiot!"

John: "..."

Hermione said with a blushing face, very arrogantly.

Mr. Lovegood had a knowing expression, and the tip of his pen wandered on the parchment.

"Miss Girlfriend blushed, just like a ripe apple exposed to the sun, her eyes full of love when looking at her boyfriend, but she was shy because her boyfriend was present, and said falsely that her boyfriend was an idiot..."

While recording, he also deliberately said the content to himself.

These words, let alone Hermione, even John felt his old face blush.

Hermione stood up from the table in shame and anger.

"Mr. Lovegood, please don't write this kind of thing! This is not the truth at all!"

"But it is closer to the truth than the facts, dear lady." Mr. Lovegood said without raising his head.

Hermione pointed at him angrily, but couldn't get angry, so she had to run away with a blushing face, looking both shy and angry.

No, it wasn't me who wrote nonsense, why are you glaring at me?

John watched Hermione's back as she left, speechless for a while.

Mr. Lovegood watched this scene and smiled slightly, and said to John.

"Let's continue, Mr. Merrick."

"Good."

John nodded and continued the interview.

The content of the interview was nothing special.

It was just some of John's growth experience, and his daily study life at Hogwarts, digging deep from the daily life, how John grew step by step into the genius boy in people's mouths.

There were also some gossip questions, such as how he and Hermione fell in love, emotional history, etc...

There were no tricky problems.

And there was no specific mention of his attitude or position toward Voldemort.

Mentioning such words was equivalent to looking for trouble, and Mr. Lovegood obviously knew the measure.

The interview ended soon.

The two left Hagrid's hut together, and John intended to send Mr. Lovegood, who had come from afar, off.

"Thank you for coming all the way to help with our operation."

"Hey, being able to interview you and Potter is my honor."

Mr. Lovegood had always been so easygoing, without any elder's airs.

The two walked all the way to the bridge at the main entrance of Hogwarts Castle.

A crosswind blew Mr. Lovegood's crooked hat almost flying away, and he reached out to press the brim.

A special necklace on his neck swayed slightly in the wind.

It was a triangular pendant, with a vertical line inside the triangle, and a circle.

It was a symbol he had never seen before.

But he didn't ask more, probably just a family token or some kind of mark.

"Alright, let's send it here, see you again, Mr. Merrick."

Mr. Lovegood nodded slightly to John and smiled.

John nodded in greeting, and then watched Mr. Lovegood's tall and thin figure walk away, and after completely leaving the scope of Hogwarts, he disappeared from his sight with a pop. ===== CHAPTER 269 =====

John nodded in greeting, then watched as Mr. Lovegood's tall, thin figure walked further and further away. Once he had completely left the grounds of Hogwarts, he vanished from sight with a 'pop'.
