Hogwarts Lion Girl

Everyone looked over and saw Cedric walking over with a serious-looking Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, her eyes swept across the two teams at loggerheads, and finally landed on the captain of Gryffindor, "Wood, can you tell me what happened?"

"Nothing, Professor. We are just about to go back." Wood stopped Fred who wanted to complain and said with a smile, "Professor McGonagall, what are you doing here?"

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Yes, Miss Granger, please come with me."

"Ah? Me?!" Hermione, who was suddenly called, looked confused and stared at Professor McGonagall blankly.

After Professor McGonagall took Hermione away, the two teams glared at each other and followed their respective captains in opposite directions.

At this time, the crowd dispersed, and Cedric also saw Salina. A smile appeared on his face, and he quickly came to Salina.

"Swinburne, we meet again."

"Hello, Senior Digory." Salina greeted politely.

Cedric took out an envelope from his pocket, handed it over and said, "Look, I have a ticket for a Quidditch match this summer. I wonder if you are interested."

Salina was stunned for a moment, and instead of reaching out to take it, she asked, "Senior Diggory, why did you invite me?"

Cedric still held up the envelope and said with a smile, "Why don't you call me Cedric? Senior Diggory or something like that sounds strange. As for the reason, I want to make friends with you. I wonder if Miss Swinburne is willing to give me this opportunity?"

Salina thought about it and reached out to take the envelope.

"Thank you, Senior Cedric. If you wish, please call me Serena."

"Then we'll see you there, Salina."

Watching Cedric wave and walk away, Salina and Ginny also walked towards the castle.

Ginny approached Salina with a gossipy look on her face and asked softly, "Is there something going on between you two? Did it start that day? To what extent?"

Serena pushed Ginny's little head back helplessly and said, "We are just ordinary friends, without those pink bubbles you think."

"What? I think that senior is obviously interested in you. It's only a matter of time before you get pink bubbles!" Ginny hugged Serena's arm. "I don't care. As your friend, I want to know your situation as soon as possible. You are not allowed to hide it from me!"

"Okay, okay, if there is anything, I will definitely tell you." Salina said helplessly.

"That's right!" Ginny nodded with satisfaction.

In the distance, Lucien watched Salina's back as she walked away, and whispered softly: "Salina Swinburne..."

Derian on the side looked at Lucian, then looked at Salina who was walking away, and lowered his head thoughtfully.

Draco, who was walking at the end, felt very unhappy ever since he saw Salina and Cedric having a very "intimate" conversation. This unhappiness reached its peak after Salina accepted Cedric's invitation. He couldn't help but tightly clutch the hem of his robe and stared coldly at Cedric's back.

Harry also saw that scene. He felt an indescribable sour feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell why.

Ron obviously didn't notice that. He was currently guessing why Professor McGonagall wanted to find Hermione. His mind was full of Hermione, and while guessing, he tried to discuss it with Harry.

Harry nodded absentmindedly, not paying any attention to what Ron was saying.

The twins on the other side looked at each other, then silently looked away and quietly followed the team away.

……

The sun pierced through the haziness of the sky, and a new day descended upon the ancient castle of Hogwarts as gently as before.

The early morning light awakens the sleeping earth. The surface of the Black Lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and the leisurely white clouds.

The castle's spires were tinged with a light golden hue in the morning light, like a fairytale fantasy world. The birds began to sing, the melodious tunes passed through the glades in the woods and echoed in every corner of Hogwarts.

The sunlight shines through the glass dome, covering the greenhouse with a layer of golden veil.

The air is filled with the fragrance of soil, mixed with the aroma of various exotic flowers and plants, which is refreshing.

Dewdrops slid down the broad leaves and condensed into crystal clear pearls on the petals.

The colorful flowers bloomed in competition, vying with each other in beauty, attracting bees and butterflies to dance around.

In the distance, tall ferns swayed gently in the breeze, as if waving to people.

Colin and Salina are on duty today. They need to water the plants in the greenhouse, loosen the soil, prune flower branches, etc.

Although it sounds simple, it is actually a very troublesome task when you actually start to act on it.

Colin doesn't like those little bugs, especially those with wings and can fly, which are his nightmare.

But in a place like a greenhouse full of plants, there are naturally all kinds of insects.

So throughout the work, Salina could hear Colin's screams from time to time.

After a lot of chaos, the two finally completed their duty.

When Colin was about to leave the greenhouse, he suddenly stared at one place in a daze.

Salina followed his gaze and found that it was a very special plant.

In the branches of an ancient oak tree, vibrant mistletoe is entwined, like pure white elves dancing among the green leaves.

Its stems are slender and tough, and each branch is full of vitality, climbing upwards as if exploring endless growth space. The emerald green leaves are like the umbrellas of elves, dotted with newly born yellow flowers, which emit a faint fragrance and sway on the treetops with the breeze.

Salina walked to his side, looked up together, and then reminded softly: "We should go, Colin."

Colin suddenly came back to his senses and nodded in response, "Oh, okay."

Then he looked at Salina beside him, as if he suddenly thought of something, and a blush suddenly rose on his face, but Salina, who had already turned and left, did not notice this.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in from the window, and a flower on the mistletoe was blown off and fell on Colin's outstretched hand.

Colin was slightly stunned, then carefully placed the flower in his notebook, making sure there was no wrinkle. After doing all this, he quickly caught up with Salina.

On the way back, the corners of Colin's mouth kept rising uncontrollably, and his whole body was filled with joy.

At this, Salina could only sigh and think, look at what this child has been tortured into. As soon as he left those insects in the greenhouse, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.
