[HP] Become a new Hogwarts legend
Chapter 20 Love Letters
Hermione was discharged from hospital in early February.
Nolen didn't ask her what happened, because she learned something interesting from Thalia - after the dinner on Christmas Day, Crabbe and Goyle came home strangely late for a long time. Wen Xi asked about the secret room.
Thinking of the potion ingredients that Professor Snape had mysteriously lost, Nolen quickly figured out the secret. She brought a copy of "Monologues of a Vampire" to visit Hermione, and said something meaningful before leaving. Said something.
"Many people who read this book were bitten because they were so bored that they lost their minds. The vampire Lestoat took advantage of people's curiosity. I think you will not be able to hold back and read a strange book. Of course it doesn’t matter if you take a look, after all, Hogwarts is the safest place in the world."
Hopefully the clever little witch can stop her savior friend and, ideally, convince him to give the diary to Dumbledore.
The diary matter seemed to have come to an end just like that. Ginny went to Nolen to apologize for her gaffe that day. Nolen also kept silent about what happened next. The two of them just got along with each other with their own thoughts.
Today was just like any other day, with Nolen drawing on the couch near the fireplace, and Fred and George working on their new self-inking quills on the next couch.
Ginny came through the portrait hole and sat directly next to her. She was silent and looked very worried. Nolen didn't say anything, but just stared at the freckles on her face for a while, then turned to add some freckles to the portrait on the drawing board.
After being lightly poked on the shoulder, Nolen followed George's fingers and looked towards Ron, who was staring blankly at the parchment not far away. The two men walked towards him with quills in hand.
George turned back and raised his eyebrows at Nolen, and she instantly understood that Ron was going to suffer.
Sure enough, Fred stretched out his hand and hooked Ron's neck, leaned close to his ear and said, "Hi, dear little Ronnie."
Ron froze in place for a moment, "What are you doing?"
"Don't be too nervous." George also leaned over and put a hand on Ron's shoulder. "We picked up a quill in the corridor. Is it yours?"
He opened his hand and let Ron examine the quill in his hand.
Ron seemed a little unaccustomed to his two inexplicably friendly brothers. He checked it several times before taking it, "Oh, thank you - this does look like the one I lost."
"Looks like?" Fred closed his eyes with a look of grief and anger, as if Ron's behavior had deeply hurt his heart.
"It really broke the hearts of my brothers." George also looked sad and angry. He put his arm around Fred's neck, stood up from his seat, turned around and walked towards Nolen. As soon as he turned his back, the two of them smiled. They grinned almost up to their ears, and poor Ron, who couldn't see their expressions, still looked guilty and hesitant to speak.
"Wait until you see our new props." George threw himself into the sofa and went to grab Nolen's drawing board with a smile.
"Poor Ron, why don't you have a long memory?" Nolen slapped his hand away and leaned on the shoulders of the two people to peek over there. "Move your head, Fred, you are blocking me." "
"Can you tell them apart?" Ginny suddenly interrupted from the side.
Nolen was silent. George and Fred were still staring at Ron's movements over there, but their ears stood up unconsciously to hear her answer. After a few seconds of thinking, she decided to answer Ginny truthfully. .
"Maybe not yet." She noticed that Fred and George's shoulders dropped instantly.
"But I usually rely on intuition to distinguish them, and I almost never make any mistakes."
Nolen turned his head and stared at their profiles with interest. After getting along with each other for a semester, she began to clearly feel that although they looked and sounded the same, their demeanor and behavior were still different in subtle ways.
In the impression, George is always playful with his eyes lowered, while Fred is more mischievous with his eyes wide open. If you observe their words and deeds carefully, you will find that the more measured and steady one must be George.
But when the two people are in a stable mood and think in the same way, it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish the two. At this time, Nolen will unconsciously approach them, and the one with a faint soapy smell is George.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Ron in the corner of the lounge screamed like a groundhog, and the quill in his hand flew out, leaving ink everywhere in the lounge. His face was full of ink and he glared at the two brothers who were laughing crazy. It was completely daring. I dare not speak when I am angry.
Nolen jumped up from the sofa excitedly, stretched out his hand to give George and Fred a high-five. The quill pen that can automatically spray ink is so cool, although Ron's face is full of ink, so he is miserable, hahaha.
"Then will you write love letters to them?" Ginny, who had been staying quietly next to her, added this again without thinking.
"How is it possible -" Nolen's eyes didn't even leave the quill spinning on the floor, and he retorted without hesitation.
Ginny was extremely disappointed. Troubled thoughts gripped her heart so deeply that she could hardly breathe. She turned and left the lounge.
It wasn't until breakfast on February 14th that Nolen saw the calendar and figured out what Ginny's incomprehensible words meant - today is Valentine's Day.
As in previous years, Nolen did nothing. If nothing else happened, today was as peaceful as many days in the past. She walked out of the dormitory and went to the lounge to wait for Fred and George. They didn't know what time they wandered out last night. They didn't yawn until the lounge was almost empty. The three of them walked towards the auditorium together. Go.
The air in the corridor exuded the smell of overly sweet perfume, which became stronger the closer to the auditorium. Nolen walked to the door and was startled by the dazzling pink color inside. He exited in disbelief and bumped into the two people behind him. On someone who yawns all the time.
"What's going on?" George woke up instantly and stabilized Nolen who was still in panic and asked.
Nolen pushed the two of them forward with a speechless expression. For a moment, they thought they had gone to the wrong door - the auditorium was full of pink and tender clothes, and Lockhart stood in the center in bright clothes, accepting all the teachers and students of the school. Attention gift.
"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" Lockhart said loudly, "So far, forty-six people have sent me greeting cards, and I would like to express my gratitude to them!"
Nolen immediately turned to look at the Ravenclaw table. Sure enough, Mary's head was almost lowered under the table. Similarly, several girls at the Gryffindor table lowered their heads shyly.
"In addition, I have also prepared a little surprise for everyone - my little cupids, they will be wandering around the school today delivering greeting cards to you."
Lockhart clapped his hands, and twelve dwarfs with gloomy faces appeared in front of everyone. They had golden wings, carried harps on their backs, and were dressed in nondescript costumes, which made a large number of people laugh.
"What's your first class today?" Fred took a bite of bread and asked Nolen vaguely.
Norton instantly choked on the cereal in her mouth. She tried to turn her stiff neck to look at Snape. She was sure that if a dwarf broke in, he would grab the person who received the greeting card by the neck and throw her out.
"No way?" Fred and George immediately understood Nolen's desperate expression and gave her a wish-for-goodness expression. Nolen felt that even his favorite marmalade was bitter.
After the meal, Fred and George escorted Nolen to the entrance of the cellar and watched her enter the classroom without leaving. They had no classes this morning and could use this time to do something for their dear collaborator. , George and Fred looked at each other, and accurately read the same meaning as his own from his brother's eyes.
Snape's face turned black as soon as the class started. He waved his wand roughly, moved Nolen's cauldron to his desk, and said harshly that he would pour the forgetfulness potion on her if she couldn't achieve perfection. Nolen was so frightened that he cut the bezoar with shaking hands, and was hit hard on the head by Snape with a big book.
Potions class turned the sweet Valentine's Day into gray. Everyone prayed in a low voice that no dwarf without eyes would come looking for them with Snape's murderous gaze. Even the timid ones heard outside the window. The sound of the harp would make him tremble, thus destroying his half-prepared potion.
In the morning that followed, dwarfs broke into the Potions classroom from time to time to deliver Valentine's Day cards. Only Nolen's seat was silent, and she was not surprised by this.
In fact, many students at Hogwarts are very curious about her. They only know that Nolen is a Nordic pureblood who transferred from Durmstrang. As for the reason for the transfer, they don't know at all. Some of them witnessed it on the train when school started. She casts a spell on a lizard.
When school first started, many curious people asked the pure-blood and Gryffindor classmates in Slytherin about her, but she always kept to herself, with an expression of "don't let strangers in" wherever she went. So much so that most people had a wait-and-see attitude towards her, and Gryffindor didn't talk to her very much because of her entangled relationship with Slytherin.
This is no different from when she was in Durmstrang, where the strong are more respected. The students have no impression of her who does not learn black magic. In addition, Victor, Thor and others shine too brightly beside him. , almost no one spoke to her, and it wasn't until she punched Lizzie in the face and threw him into the lake with a repelling spell that people gradually noticed this fringe figure in Krum's group.
Without the harassment of the dwarf and the taunting of Snape, the entire configuration process went extremely smoothly. Nolen handed in a potion that made Snape rarely show a satisfied expression, and was released in advance with the envious eyes of countless people. class.
Nolen and the twins arranged to meet at the door of the auditorium. On the stairs leading from the cellar to the auditorium, a dwarf suddenly chased her up.
"Don't run, Nolen Lynn!" Nolen felt that something was wrong, so he ran upstairs, and the dwarf chased after him with his two short legs upside down.
Dang-dang-dang, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the doors in the corridor were opened one after another, and the students rushed to the auditorium. Nolen kept using his elbows to separate the crowd, trying to get rid of it, just At this moment, she saw two red heads that stood out among the crowd.
"George! Fred! Stop me!"
Taking advantage of his height advantage, Nolen nimbly slipped under George's arm and hid behind the two of them. The two immediately understood and stood up straight to block the dwarf's sight.
"I have a letter that I want to personally deliver to Nolen Lynn!" The dwarf stood in front of the two of them and looked at their backs suspiciously.
"Just leave it to us." George snatched the envelope from the dwarf's hand.
"You're welcome! Bye!" Before the dwarf could react, Fred added a tacit kick, and saw the afterimage of the dwarf rolling downstairs and disappearing.
The crowd of onlookers booed in disappointment, and some clapped and applauded the twins for their feat. Nolen stuck his head out from between the two of them and made sure that the danger was over before walking out.
"Almost failed." George raised the blue envelope in his hand towards Fred and raised his eyebrows with unknown meaning.
"yes"
"What?" Nolen asked blankly.
"Secret" George rubbed Nolen's head and grabbed her neck and dragged her into the auditorium. Nolen was very dissatisfied and tried to pull his arm to break him open.
"Give me your love letter back!"
"No." George stretched out his arm and stuffed the love letter into Fred's pocket.
Nolen turned around to pick Fred's pocket, but George held him in his arms unable to move.
"That'smine!"
"I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you--" Fred waved the love letter in front of her eyes with evil intentions.
"You forced me to do this." Nolen quickly raised his elbow and stabbed back.
George whined and squatted down holding his stomach.
...
The corridors were empty and silent after curfew. The dim lights lengthened the shadows of night walkers, and chants echoed around.
"Her eyes hold a whole night sky
I look at the moon
Watch the stars rise and set like a tide
Watch as the horizon gradually becomes whiter and clearer.”
Fred began to recite the love poem again, and Nolen quickly covered his ears and passed in front of them, tapping his little leather shoes.
Nolen's mood is very complicated now. She finally accepted a love letter, but it was snatched away by these two people to read it. She continued to read it like this all night. Although she didn't like the person who only dared to write a love letter to her, but she treated her like this. It was really too much to treat it as a joke, but these two straight men really only knew how to play, and she couldn't get angry.
"In her eyes..." George caught up with Nolen in two steps, tilting his head and smiling playfully at her.
"Shut up!" Nolen slapped his face and pinched his mouth to prevent him from speaking. "Didn't you see that I was angry?"
"Angry?" George was stunned for a moment and looked at Nolen in confusion, "You don't like this person, do you?"
"Merlin's beard, I don't even know who he is. Get out of the way." Nolen tilted his head in disbelief, pushed him away and continued to move forward.
"Then you'll like him if you know his name?" Fred, who had been wandering behind, added.
"I can't possibly like a coward who doesn't even dare to leave his name." Nolen turned around and faced them, walking backwards with his hands behind his back. "No one talks to me usually. I don't believe that someone would be courteous for no reason."
"That's right, maybe he wrote the same love letter and sent it to all the girls in Hogwarts." Fred nodded.
"As the Muggles say, cast your net wide and catch more fish," George agreed.
The corners of Nolen's mouth raised uncontrollably, but he finally suppressed them.
"But - let me first state that I don't like him," Nolen said seriously and slowly, "your behavior of publicizing other people's love letters as a joke is wrong. Let's not say whether I agree or not - no, I agree. It’s useless, this is respect for others.”
Nolen continued to walk backwards, and suddenly found George and Fred looking frantically behind her as if they were hesitating to speak. Before she could react, her head hit a protruding water pipe. of the corner.
"Ah -" she whined and squatted down holding her head, "Why don't you remind me loudly?"
"Who knew you could hit such a height?"
"I'm afraid even the founder of Hogwarts didn't think of that"
The two looked at each other, thoughtfully measuring the distance between her head and the bulge.
Nolen immediately heard the ridicule in the two people's words, and he bared his teeth and was about to pounce on them and beat them. However, before she could stand up, she felt a rustling sound coming from the water pipe her back was pressed against, as if something was crawling along the water pipe.
"What's the sound?" Nolen immediately squatted down and got close to the water pipe, "Listen."
George and Fred also imitated her and squatted down and put their ears against the wall. "They didn't hear anything."
Nolen felt the movement of the sound and could basically conclude that it was a huge thing. It was nearby, and over there was-Myrtle's bathroom!
