Harry sighed, he suddenly wished that when he and Qiu were together, a werewolf would appear...
In that case, he can directly prove it with actions!
Or get a girlfriend like Hermione, which can save a lot of trouble.
"Honestly, Hermione, you should write a book!" said Harry, sighing. "Explain girls' strange behavior so that boys can understand them. I'll be the first to buy it."
"Thank you, I'll think about it!"
Contrary to Ivan's expectations, the four of them didn't spend too long in the Honeydukes candy store.
Except for the bloody lollipop, Elaine doesn't like the rest of the candy flavors.
And as before, the store is full of people, and there is no place to stay. This is what Elaine doesn't like.
Not to mention, after Ai Wen and the others went in, everyone kept pointing and whispering at the four of them.
After a brief look, they left, deciding to go to the Three Broomsticks.
Sirius, Lupine, and Rita didn't come because it was too early.
They entered the bar, only to see Hagrid sitting sullenly in a corner by himself.
Chapter 1045 Excited Hagrid
"Hagrid!" The four of them squeezed their way across the table, "Why are you here all alone?"
"My God, how much you drank!" said Hermione, sniffing her nose, surrounded by the pungent smell of alcohol.
Elaine directly covered her nose and looked curiously at the big wine glass in front of Hagrid.
Hagrid jumped to his feet, looking down at them as if he didn't recognize them.
It can be clearly seen that two more wounds and several bruises have been added to his face.
"Oh, it's you, is everything all right?" said Hagrid.
"We're fine, but you look bad!"
Harry's failed date, Ivan's failure to start a date, and Elaine's disappointment at the candy store were nothing compared to a bruised, sad-faced Hagrid, who seemed to find anything to complain about .
"Me?" said Hagrid. "No, Hermione, I'm fine, really fine!"
Staring at the pewter glass the size of a bucket, he sighed and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
"Hagrid, is that the giant?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
"Did Glop hit you again?" Ivan looked at the scars on his face.
"Hit me? No, no, it's just a little friction, you know, I do rough work!" said Hagrid darkly. "This is family, anyway, blood is important, he's my brother." , I have an obligation to take good care of him."
"It's not okay to continue like this, you can easily be beaten to death by him..."
"I'm all right, I said, I bumped into it by accident," said Hagrid. "Glop is better than ever, really!"
For Hagrid's words, no one would believe that if there were real improvements, he wouldn't be drinking here alone with scars.
"Hey, no matter what, he's my brother too..." Hagrid waved his hand, signaling them not to continue.
Now that he was brought back, Hagrid would not give up on Grawp.
The decision you make yourself, no matter how difficult it is, you must persist until the end, needless to say, there are blood ties.
"Hagrid, can I go see giants?" Elaine asked, sitting on the chair next to Hagrid familiarly, "I heard from Ivan that I am very interested in giants, and I want to see them." See, maybe, we can make friends with him."
"What are you talking about, you want to make friends with little Grapp?!" Hagrid seemed to wake up a little bit, staring at Elaine.
He didn't know Elaine well, and he didn't know her vampire status. He only knew that she had been with Ivan and Hermione, so there was no doubt about her reliability.
But at this moment, Elaine is undoubtedly the cutest in his eyes.
"Yes!" Elaine nodded, and she didn't know if this guy knew what a giant meant. She continued, "Not only did I ask, but Hermione also said that she wanted to see a giant. Very interested."
"Yes, I said so, giants are not easy to see, are they?!" Noticing that Hagrid's eyes moved to her, Hermione said hastily, "I mean, we learned that in the textbook Giants, but we haven't really seen a giant, we want to go and see Grawp, Hagrid, if you don't mind..."
"I don't mind, I don't mind at all, you can go whenever you want!" Hagrid choked up, his eyes filled with tears of emotion, "Oh, little Gramp is finally making friends, you can talk to him Talk, he's bored out there by himself. Alvin, Harry, Hermione, and you, Elaine, you're the best people I know, really, I..."
"Okay, Hagrid!" Ivan patted him on the shoulder, "We all want to see Glop, this matter is settled, but not now, you know, we have other things today For something, I have an appointment with Sirius and Lupine to meet here."
Ivan can be sure that Hermione is just curious, and only Elaine wants to make friends with Glop among all the people present.
And he was very suspicious, she just said so, and she would definitely change her mind after seeing Glop.
After all, she is a little girl who has never experienced human affairs. She is full of curiosity about everything, always thinking that the bigger the better, and she doesn't think about what a giant means...
"Well, I see, I'm going back to tell little Gramp the good news!" said Hagrid, wiping his eyes vigorously.
He lumbered out of the bar, looking a lot better than before.
After Hagrid left, Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine continued to discuss about Hagrid and the giant.
They got a room and waited for more than half an hour before Sirius, Lupine, and Rita arrived at the Three Broomsticks.
After returning to work, Rita began to revert to the way Ivan and the others first saw her.
I have to say that her curiosity is too strong and she wants to know everything.
This woman is also a difficult character and cannot be taken lightly. Although the two parties are currently in a cooperative relationship, it is best not to let her know too many secrets. She is not her own at all, and she may turn around and sell them for a good price.
After the details of the report were finalized, she left first, and Sirius and Lupine stayed.
They brought the current situation, because of the escape of the Death Eaters, the situation in the wizarding world is extremely tense!
Fudge accused Sirius of helping the Death Eaters escape from prison and threatened to try him. This is nonsense, but he believed it so deeply that he even sent someone to follow Sirius and monitor the places where they often appeared.
In addition, the Ministry of Magic has resumed its search for and arrest of vampires.
Sirius told them that Fudge had even sent Aurors to France and Norway to investigate, to warn them.
Especially Elaine, her identity is very sensitive, and it is likely that she has been suspected...
As for Elaine's uncle Keresis, with the help of Dumbledore, it is said that he has awakened and will recover soon.
Don’t worry too much about this. What needs to be worried about is the thirty Death Eaters who escaped from prison. Sirius and Lupine gave them a detailed account of the past experiences of these Death Eaters, which is far more detailed than the newspapers. They and There was also a lot of personal vendetta between those Death Eaters.
Five hours later, they returned to Hogwarts with a heavy heart.
It's not easy being a vicious Death Eater or telling Rita what happened that day again.
As difficult as they were, there were Ron, Ginny and the rest of the Gryffindor team.
It wasn't until after six o'clock in the evening that Ron dragged his heavy body into the auditorium. He was covered in mud and in an extremely bad mood.
Followed by Ginny, she was also covered in mud, with an unhappy expression on her face.
"How's the date going?" Ron asked in a distressed voice, sitting down beside Harry.
"Forget it, what a mess!" Harry shook his head, pulling over a plate of rhubarb puff pastry.
This topic is really heavy, and Ivan hasn't started here yet.
He saw Colin walking in alone, and the expression on his face clearly stated that his progress today was not going well.
By the way, is today really Valentine's Day?
Shouldn't such a special day be very happy?Why does he know only single dogs?
Chapter 1046 A Desperate Game
Not surprisingly, Colin told Ivan about his experience today, and it was also a terrible mess.
Everyone will not be so perfect for the first time, Ivan comforted Colin, he thought it was best not to discuss this topic.
"How was the training?"
"A nightmare," Ron said gruffly, without looking up, as if trying to drown himself in the soup.
"No way!" Hermione looked at Ginny, "I don't think so..."
"Yeah!" said Ginny. "It sucks, Angelina was crying by the end."
After dinner, Ron and Ginny went to take a shower, Colin went to find his brother, and Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine returned to the lively Gryffindor common room.
Elaine continued to read the book introducing vampires, and Hermione urged Ivan and Harry to do the endless homework.
Alvin is now doing homework with the fifth grade, and the professors have agreed.
They all knew that he was going to take this year's exam, and if Umbridge didn't approve, they still wanted Ivan to attend the fifth grade class.
While Ivan and Harry were staring at the complicated star map in a daze, Fred and George came over.
"Ron and Ginny aren't here?" Fred dragged a chair, looked around, and said in a low voice, "That's good, we went to practice today, they will lose everything, without us, they The whole thing is a pile of rubbish."
"Vinnie is not bad, and if she knows what cooperation is, Ginny is also great!" George said fairly.
"Did Ron catch the ball?"
"If no one's looking at him, he can catch it," said Fred, rolling his eyes. "So when the Quaffle hits him at tomorrow's game, we'll have to tell the audience to turn their backs and talk." , in this case, he will pounce on the ball."
He stood up and walked to the window irritably, looking at the dark campus.
"You know, Quidditch balls are the only thing worth our being here."
"Don't be silly!" Hermione glared at him, "There's an exam!"
"We said before that we don't care about the NEWTs exam at all. It doesn't matter at all. The latest quick-acting skipping class candy is finished, and everything is ready for other joke products. With Aiwen's help, we even have mass production experience."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to outsource part of the work to Muggle factories." George said, "It's amazing, no magic is used, they call it assembly line work, which greatly shortens our time and costs a lot of money." few."
This is not surprising, after all, the population of muggles is much larger than that of wizards, and the manual cost is also very low.
If possible, the cost of finding East Asian countries for OEM is negligible. This is called global cooperation.
"Hogwarts is too small, and we can't wait to go to a bigger space, where the sky belongs to us, and we will be very successful." George yawned, looking at the cloudy night sky depressingly, "I Don’t know if I’m going to watch this game, I’d probably kill myself if Zacharias Smith beat us.”
"Killing him is more likely," said Fred firmly.
"That's the problem with Quidditch ball!" Hermione said absently, dismissing Fred and George's words, and went back to doing the ancient rune translation. "It made the relationship between the houses so tense."
She looked up her Magic Word Phonics to find Fred, George, and Harry all staring at her with expressions of disgust and disbelief.
"That's right!" she said impatiently. "It's just a game, isn't it?"
"Hermione!" Harry shook his head. "You're good at relationships, but you don't know anything about Quidditch."
"Maybe!" she said sullenly, continuing to translate, "but my happiness doesn't depend on Ron's ability to keep goal."
None of Harry, Fred, and George spoke, unwilling to admit that Hermione was right.
"Seriously, why don't you think about Elaine." Ivan said, pushing Elaine out with an innocent face, "You said that you fly very well?"
"Yes!" Elaine nodded, "I said so, and it's actually true."
Harry, Fred and George led Elaine to find Angelina, and they didn't want to let go of any chance.
Ivan and Hermione continued to stay between the pile of books, and no one bothered them this time.
He felt that it was necessary to say something. As a couple, the two of them didn't do anything today, which was really unreasonable.
Ivan didn't know what Hermione would think, anyway, he was a little disappointed.
"You know, Hermione, today is Valentine's Day." Ivan said in a relaxed and nonchalant tone as much as possible, looking at Hermione who was buried in the "Magic Illustrated Book", "I originally planned to invite you to Mrs. Puddiffe The teahouse, just the two of us..."
"I know, your intentions are too obvious!" said Hermione, without looking up, "Is that why you want to lead me to that kind of place?"
"I mean, I thought it would be more romantic." Ivan said hastily, but he wanted to admit that he kissed Hermione directly.
"Today is also very romantic, as long as we are together!"
"But……"
"Ivan, do you remember what I said to Harry, girls will use many methods to detect how much boys like them." Hermione said, looking up at Ivan, her face gradually turned rosy, "But we I don’t need these in between, because I have tested it and know who your heart belongs to, and I will always believe in you, so it’s actually quite good to spend it like this today, don’t worry too much about Valentine’s Day, and don’t need to prove it What, if you will, we're Valentine's every day..."
She leaned over behind a large pile of books, kissed Aiwen hard, and looked at Aiwen boldly.
"It's what you want. You don't need to go to Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse. Other places are fine." Hermione whispered, "I don't like it there."
To be honest, Hermione can be downright shy at times, and downright daring at other times.
In the common room, in front of so many people, she dared to come and kiss Ivan directly.
I have to admit that having such a smart girlfriend is so worry-free!
Without hesitation, Ivan kissed back, and the two stuck together.
