Chapter 969: Sinista's Smile
ββ¦β¦ Like, it's really too similar, especially the back. β
Old Victor sat on the floor in a corner of the hall, holding his already empty flask in his hand, unconsciously rubbing it.
To be honest, he didn't want to remember that conversation now, not at all.
But no matter how much he tried to give up thinking, only Sinista's figure still lingered in his mind, lingering for a long time.
In fact, old Victor also didn't understand - don't people say that time tends to dilute everything? Why is it that after so much time, I still can't let go?
To this day, he can still vividly remember that night in Greenwich Park, a beautiful starry sky that was extremely rare in London at that time.
And under that twinkling galaxy, the young man met the equally young and beautiful Olylia, the innocent girl who had changed almost half of his life.
He remembered that Olylia was wearing an ordinary felt trench coat that night and a plain wide-brimmed hat on her head, not unlike the women of her time.
But the face under the brim of her hat has the purity that those women who have experienced the wind and rain of the world have long left.
After old Victor saw the innocent face illuminated by the faintly recognizable stars...... He didn't pay attention, and just remembered it for the rest of his life.
Now that he thinks about it, when London was full of gray fog, he could bathe in the starlight, maybe that was the first time he came into contact with magic in his life, right?
"Sleep!"
Stuffing the empty wine jug in his hand into his arms, old Victor was about to shrink down to the floor next to him for another night, and by the way, let his sleep wash his uncontrollable thoughts.
But at this moment, a deliberately lightened footstep suddenly came from the side door of the hall, making old Victor subconsciously turn his head to look.
Oh, it's that neat little girl.
He didn't expect the other party to come looking for him, so he just glanced over there, and then collapsed on the ground and curled up.
But before he could close his eyes, he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and finally there was an extra pair of feet in front of him.
"Mr. Victor, I have something to tell you - about Professor Sinista."
"Huh?"
Old Victor lay on the ground and didn't move much, he just turned his head slightly and looked up.
"What's the matter?"
He didn't seem to care a little much.
In fact, for the elder Victor, it was all over. After that Orilia left, she returned to the wizarding world and spent the rest of her life with a wizard...... And it is said that he is living a fairly happy life.
What else does he, an old man, have to say about this? After all, it's all over, and it's already too late to say anything.
So old Victor could only decide to let go of all his insistence so far, and when this was over, he would go back to the Muggle world with his son, and silently wait for this boring life to be completely over.
However, Hermione hurried to old Victor all the way, and naturally she would not discourage herself because of the old man's interest.
"Teach her...... I mean, Aurora Sinista, she's your daughter. β
"My daughter?" Old Victor was slightly stunned when he heard this, but quickly shook his head again, "Maybe...... Well, but forget it...... What do you want to say? β
"Say she's your own daughter," Hermione leaned over and said seriously, "I know what you're thinking, but Professor She's lying to you - Sirius used to be a classmate of her, and he said that Professor never had a father and grew up with his mother!" β
"Mr. Victor, do you understand? Professor Sinista was in the wizarding world and never had a father. β
"Haven'tβ"
After hearing Hermione's words, old Victor repeated in his heart in a daze, and then he got up from the ground.
"Sinista...... That's right! Sinista ...... Why did she take her mother's last name? "So when she left, she already had another child in her belly?" β
After a moment of grumbling in a mood, old Victor finally turned his gaze to Hermione again.
"That'...... Then why did she never come to me after that? So long...... It's been so long, why ......"
Looking at old Victor with a confused surprise in his surprise, Hermione wanted to give him an answer, but unfortunately she couldn't.
"I don't know." She shook her head slightly and said, "If you want to know, why don't you go directly to the professor?" I think she's the only one who can give you that answer. β
"Look for her...... Yes, I need to go to her right away...... My daughter, I have another daughter! β
The old man was so busy that he wanted to leave, but he didn't take a few steps and turned back in a hurry.
"Son, do you know where she is? Please let me know ......"
Undoubtedly, this was the most polite and polite side of Hermione that she had seen in all this timeβthe old man would say "please"!
"Oh, I think the professor should be in ...... right now"
As she spoke, she suddenly felt that something was not right, so she simply walked in front of old Victor first.
"She's supposed to be on the sixth floor, but it's a special place at the moment, and you can't get by alone...... Come with me! I'll help you get her out. β
In fact, to be honest, seeing Sinista now, Hermione is really a little weak in her heart.
Before, Sinista didn't let old Victor know the truth, but now, she took it upon herself to intervene and tell the old man the truth.
But now that I've said it, let's just do the "good thing" to the end!
Led Old Victor all the way up to the fifth floor, and on the stairs leading to the sixth floor, Hermione told Old Victor to wait at the corner of the stairs first.
"Nothing unusual here, right?"
Members, seeing that it was Hermione coming, they weren't sloppy at all. After announcing the password like Hogwarts, Hermione asked about the guards here.
One of the Hufflepuff seniors, who had graduated from Hogwarts, immediately gestured to the stairs with his thumb.
"Nothing else, just a little noisy ...... above"
"What's going on?" Hermione wondered.
Another companion who had stayed here immediately came over and whispered:
"Since about three hours ago, Professor Sinista and little Sarah have been competing to see who tells the funniest jokes, and whoever can't help but laugh wins."
"Oh! They should find something else to do! Hermione shook her head helplessly, "Well, I'll go in first, and everyone will remember to rest after changing shifts in a while." β
With that, they walked through the group of five and ascended to the sixth floor of St. Mungo's.
And as soon as she got upstairs, she saw that the Ravenclaw elementary school girl named Sarah was sitting next to the refining formation with a blank face, and said dryly to Sinista on the opposite side:
"Professor, do you know why we've been unlucky lately?"
But before Sinista could reply, the two of them saw Hermione coming up the stairs.
"Miss Granger, come so late...... What's wrong? β
Sinista was obviously a little worried about what was happening below, and although Sarah on the side had been paying attention to the refining formation and knew that there should be no accidents, she also followed Sinista to look over.
"Oh, nothing ......"
Hermione paused with a slight hesitation, but the quill she had been holding tightly in her hand instantly gave her the strength to continue.
"Hmm...... Actually, it's like this. She then continued, "Professor, I'm sorry...... I told old Mr. Victor about you without your consent. β
"Oh?"
Sinista's expression didn't change as drastically as Hermione had imagined, she was just silent for a moment, and then nodded her head slightly.
"Really...... How much did you say? β
"Uh, Professor?" Hermione said unexpectedly, "You...... Don't you blame me? I'm ......."
But Sinista didn't let her finish, but stretched out her hand to signal that she could not say these things for the first time.
Hermione then paused for a moment before she said silently:
"I've got it all out...... Including the fact that you are his biological daughter, and the fact that you have never had a father. And then, now old Mr. Victor is waiting for you at the corner of the stairs below......"
After hearing this, Sinista couldn't help but nod her head again, her eyes full of indescribable depth.
"I see," she said quietly, "if that's the case, there's nothing I can do." β
As she spoke, Sinista got up from her chair and, after greeting Sarah, slowly walked down the stairs behind Hermione.
Her steps seemed to be extraordinarily heavy with each step, as if an inexplicable force was constantly holding her back.
But the moment Sinista passed by her, Hermione silently glanced at her face.
She originally wanted to confirm whether the other party was angry with her, but who knew that what she saw at this glance was a calm smile.
In an instant, Hermione wanted to stop Professor Sinista and ask her what she was laughing at. But she opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't make a sound.
It wasn't until the other party went down with a sound of footsteps that Hermione let out a soft breath.
"Do you know why we've been unlucky lately?" Sarah, who was on the other side, suddenly asked again.
"What?"
"Because it's 'good luck'! It's not going to be that unlucky to run into us, is it? β
Hermione looked at Sarah blankly, and then said:
"What is this? Bad jokes? β
