The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

Evening, Gryffindor common room.

The entire lounge was brightly lit, candlesticks and various magic lamps were placed everywhere upstairs and downstairs, and firewood was dancing in the fireplace.

The whole of Gryffindor was celebrating today's victory, with the twins bringing in all kinds of food, drinks, and even butterbeer from the kitchen.

Wood had a drunken blush on his face, his eyes were bright, and he was talking loudly: "I knew, I knew Harry would be an excellent seeker..."

Twin brothers eating strange magic candies. A mouse ate ice, and its teeth trembled with the cold, and they collided together, making a rattling sound. Another little urchin ate pepper and breathed fire out of his mouth.

The two people breathed cold air/fire at each other, looked at each other, and burst into laughter.

Seamus' eyes lit up when he saw it. He pulled Dean and asked, what would happen if he ate the ice rat and the pepper naughty boy at the same time?

After hearing this, Neville quickly stopped the two of them: "Don't try it! Uncle Ambrosio said that someone was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for doing this."

Ambrosio is the owner of Honeydukes Candy Shop.

When Seamus and Dean heard this, they said in unison: "No, no, no, no one would dare to do this, right?"

The smell was so overpowering that Loren frowned and looked like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"Where did you learn this saying?" Loren said.

Seamus blinked, "I learned from you."

Dean added: "We had to deal with Slytherin people like this today, and it was quite enjoyable."

Loren slapped his forehead in pain, "I am a sinner."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione on the other side did not fully integrate into this atmosphere.

They chatted with Hagrid after the game and learned Nico Flamel's name, and Hermione saw Snape hexing Harry. Now the three of them were even more sure that Snape was not a good person.

The three deduced that the thing Lu Wei was guarding involved Dumbledore and a man named Nico Flamel. Snape wanted to get the thing and kill Harry.

As for Loren, Hermione proposed that Loren should not be involved in this matter. Snape threatened Loren, but Loren did not cooperate with Snape. They could not embarrass Loren.

Harry and Ron agreed.

The twin brothers walked over, one on the left and the other on the right. Each of them lifted Loren up with one hand and carried him to the crowd.

"If you ask me, today's victory is inseparable from Loren!"

"He is the eighth member of our team!"

This is something all the Gryffindor Quidditch players admit. With Loren's commentary, their games are easier.

Everyone cheered in unison, throwing Loren up, catching him again, throwing him up and catching him again.

After a few times, Loren shouted loudly: "No, put me down, put me down!"

At this time, under the leadership of Seamus, everyone began to say: "No, no, no, no, someone will die." Regardless of Loren's feelings, they threw him up again.

Loren was crying in his heart, I deserve this, I am a sinner!

The merry party went on till late. At the end, Professor McGonagall comes in and warns everyone that it's time to rest.

The red-faced Wood ran to Professor McGonagall, trying to coax Professor McGonagall into throwing him up.

But he was the only one in the audience who was really drunk. The others were still sober. They were silent and did not dare to cooperate with him. They all pretended not to hear Wood's heckles.

Percy was about to cry.

Everyone thought that Professor McGonagall was going to turn Wood into something and teach him a lesson.

Surprisingly, Professor McGonagall just asked Wood's roommate to take Wood back to bed and let everyone disperse.

Professor McGonagall was also very happy with today's victory.

…

For nearly a month, the three little ones carefully avoided Loren, and they were busy looking for information about Nico Flamel.

But it was too obvious that they had guilty consciences and did not dare to face Loren.

Once Neville asked Harry if they had any trouble with Loren.

Hermione realized later that they couldn't alert the enemy like this.

Several people got together with Loren again, went to class and after class together, and did homework together in the library. Only Nico Flamel's matter was not mentioned in front of Loren.

An afternoon in the library doing homework.

Loren put away his finished homework and looked at the three people next to him.

Harry was holding a copy of "The Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century", Hermione was holding "Major Discoveries of Modern Magic" and "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft", and Ron had his head buried in the "List of Famous Contemporary Magicians". Little by little, I could see that I was in a very sleepy state.

Loren patted Ron and said, "You drooled all over the book."

Ron raised his head suddenly, his sleepy little face could not open his eyes, and he wiped his face with his hands randomly: "Where is it, where is it?"

Harry also raised his head, his eyes unfocused, shaking his head aimlessly, looking ahead. Although he didn't sleep, he couldn't read the book at all. He stared blankly at the book, and his mind had already flown to nowhere.

It's so stupid. The two teammates are really stupid. That was the only thought in Hermione's head.

"Ha!" Loren couldn't help laughing, "I've finished my homework. You can take a look if you want to refer to it."

He then looked at Hermione, "Hermione, come out with me."

With that said, he walked out of the library.

When Harry and Ron heard that nothing happened to them, they lowered their heads again. One of them started nodding, and the other's eyes began to lose focus.

When Hermione heard this, her heart began to beat. Does Loren know something? Should I tell him? What should I say?

For some reason, Hermione felt uncomfortable at the thought of cheating on Loren. With uneasy thoughts, he followed Loren blankly and walked out of the library.

Loren found an aisle where no one was, and turned to look at Hermione.

Not long after the Quidditch match, it started to snow in Hogwarts. Everyone put on winter clothes and added sweaters under the wizard robes, and their bodies became bulging.

Hermione was the same, all wrapped up, with a bright red and yellow Gryffindor towel wrapped around her neck. The fluffy hair accentuates the blush of baby fat on her face. When she smiles, her two front teeth are exposed. The whole person looks like a little squirrel, very cute.

Loren looked at it and unconsciously wanted to tease him.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Loren said.

Hermione was a little anxious and wanted to explain, "I, I didn't deliberately hide it from you. We are -"

Before he finished speaking, Loren interrupted: "Are you looking for Nico Flamel?"

Hermione was so surprised that she opened her mouth slightly and looked at Loren with doubts in her eyes. Her whole body said "How do you know?"

The expression of the little squirrel eating the whale was so cute, Loren was eager to move, "You are all looking through "The Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century" and "A Directory of Famous Contemporary Magicians". Who wouldn't guess?"

Before Hermione could say anything, Loren immediately said, "Come to the abandoned classroom in the Magic Mirror alone tonight, and I'll tell you." After that, he walked away.

Hermione's mind was left a little stuck. She couldn't quite figure it out. She could only be sure that Loren would not harm her.

In the evening, Hermione went to the appointment alone.

When he opened the door, Loren was already waiting in the empty classroom.

A desk and two chairs were placed in the middle of the abandoned classroom. There was a black cloth covering something on the table, which was piled in a heap on the table.

Loren asked Hermione to sit down and looked at Hermione seriously, "I know the Nico Flamel you are looking for, but I can't tell you directly."

"You should know some spells about secrecy."

Hermione nodded.

The Fidelity Charm, the Unbreakable Vow, and some other spells can achieve this purpose.

"I need you to help me break the spell so I can tell you the truth."

If Hermione still remembered the time when Loren tricked her into petting the cat during her first Transfiguration class, she would find that Loren's tone at that time was exactly the same as now.

"What do you need me to do?" Hermione's tone was firm. She wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible and rescue Loren.

Loren pulled off the black cloth. The table was covered with chocolate frogs and cockroaches.

How can these things break the spell? Hermione looked at Loren, with such confusion on her face.

"Eat them all~" Loren's voice was erratic.

Hermione felt like there was a big question mark on her head, "Are you sure you can break the curse this way?"

Loren reassured: "Hermione, you must know that magic is all kinds of weird, and their methods of breaking are also all kinds of weird."

"Would I lie to you?"

Loren didn't have enough confidence in this sentence, so he expressed it in another way, "Would I lie to you about this kind of thing?"

Hermione hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to pick up a package of chocolate frogs and tear open the package.

Looking at the beating legs of the chocolate frog, Hermione's hands trembled, resisting the urge to throw it out, and encouraged herself enough before putting it in her mouth.

The sweet chocolate melted, and the sweet core inside burst out with various fragrances, suppressing Hermione's discomfort.

"Hehe, is it delicious?" Loren teased.

Hermione nodded sheepishly, which brought a strange feeling. She obviously hated candies that looked like this, but the candies brought her a pleasant feeling.

Loren was looking at the pictures included in the package, and when he saw the characters on the pictures, he said in a brisk tone, "I'm lucky, the first one is Dumbledore."

As long as things have a beginning, it won't be so difficult later. The next few chocolate frogs were eaten by Hermione smoothly. Hermione even felt less disgusted by this food.

Hermione didn't see it, but Loren couldn't stop the evil smile on his face.
