Hogwarts becomes host

Time goes back to two hours ago.

After being refreshed by the essential oil, Hermione began to study hard.

She quickly solved the homework at hand, and volunteered to help Elaine review the homework for the Muggle Studies class. She occasionally asked a few questions, but she didn't feel anything unusual.

On the contrary, Elaine couldn't concentrate anymore, and she kept having a frightening and ominous premonition.

I always feel like something is wrong, like someone is plotting against me...

what happened?

Elaine is not an idiot. This feeling only appeared after Hermione used essential oil.

She paid attention to Hermione first, then Ron and Harry, and even Elaine found an excuse to look at the homework of the three of them, but there was no clue.

The classmates nearby were also normal... Maybe something happened to Adair at this time, and the Horcrux caused feedback?

Or is she just too sensitive, stressed out and starting to become paranoid?

"...Hermione, give me that bottle of essential oil just now."

After opening a new bottle of essential oil and making sure her nose was fine, Elaine decided to check it again.

That bottle of essential oil... seemed, seemed, probably fine. Although Hermione's efficiency had improved, Elaine was very concerned about the fact that she didn't smell anything.

There are too many weird things in the magic world, so you have to take precautions.

She herself couldn't say for sure what was in the wristband. After all, Adair would sometimes send some live broadcast viewers to her, or put items in there for future use. There were so many things, and Elaine would occasionally take them. wrong.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I want to smell it again..."

"Isn't it bad?" Hermione said worriedly, "It will be too much. You just reminded me——"

"I'm paying attention, it doesn't matter."

Elaine shrugged and was about to take the bottle from Hermione's hand.

At this moment Crookshanks jumped out of nowhere, and a cat's paw knocked the small bottle away.

"what?"

"Hey!"

The small glass bottle flew out and hit Harry on the opposite side.

The liquid inside also spilled on his homework and robes, and Hermione hurriedly took out her wand to help Harry clean it up.

"Crookshanks! Really...cleaned up!"

"Wait……"

Before Elaine could stop him, the wet marks on Harry's clothes and homework disappeared, and Elaine helplessly held her forehead.

"What is this? It's sticky...it smells like wood...like a Quidditch broomstick?" Harry said with a slight blush on his face, "It's a, it's not a bad aroma, it smells pretty good."

"I didn't smell anything..." Ron sniffed blankly.

"It's okay, forget it, it's just a bottle of essential oil." Elaine grabbed the back of Crookshanks' neck and threw it out while roaring. "This cat is really..."

In the distance, Crookshanks landed a neat somersault and turned around to threaten Elaine with bared teeth until an angry Hermione drove him away.

Although it was not detected, Elaine was relieved a lot. Harry and Hermione both smelled the scent of wood. It must be some kind of essential oil. There must be something wrong with their noses. Is it really too sensitive?

Shaking her head, Elaine refocused and continued correcting her homework.

Because she was so focused, she didn't notice that the distance between Hermione and her was getting shorter and shorter; she also didn't notice that Harry became absent-minded and often turned to peek at her...

Another hour and a half passed, and it was almost time for dinner.

Elaine also roughly read through everyone's homework with Hermione's help.

"Let's go to the restaurant for dinner."

"Great!" Ron, who had finished his homework long ago but was so hungry that he collapsed on the table because Harry didn't leave, jumped up instantly, "I'm starving!"

Harry and Hermione helped Elaine pack up her homework, and after finishing it, the four of them headed to the restaurant together.

Even though the sense of crisis was still lingering in her heart, after so long, Elaine no longer cared.

Until she found Adair sitting at the teacher's chair.

"Wow." Elaine looked for an empty seat at the Gryffindor table and sat down warily, "The sun is out in the west?"

Rather than going to the cafeteria and having to go to the kitchen to find food, professors can choose to have house elves deliver food to their offices or classrooms. For example, Trelawney never went down to the North Tower to eat. After Adair changed into a female body, It is also in-depth and simple.

But Adair showed up today.

He also showed a meaningful smile to Elaine, which made Elaine's hair stand on end and goosebumps fell all over the floor.

There must be something wrong...

But what went wrong?

Everything is normal!

Being stared at by Adair made Elaine more and more anxious. She didn't even notice that Hermione, who had always kept a safe distance from her before, now sat on the left side of her.

At the same time, Harry squeezed Ron away as if nothing had happened and sat directly opposite her.

This is nothing, they are friends, so why is there anything strange about sitting close to each other?

Even Ron thought Harry just wanted to sit closest to the roast beef ribs.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was even more subdued than usual. The sounds of clinking tableware, the muffled voices of students, and the sound of chewing food could be clearly heard. It was not as noisy and lively as usual.

Although Adair didn't do anything, to be honest, just like Snape, sitting there would affect the students' appetite.

Perhaps because she couldn't stand it anymore, Elaine saw what Slughorn and Adair said.

A few seconds later, under Adair's reluctant expression, Bach's Prelude in C major echoed in the restaurant. Under the light and leisurely melody, the student's expression gradually relaxed.

Everyone began to walk around casually, chatting easily, and laughter began to appear.

It was at this moment that Daphne came to the Gryffindor table.

She originally wanted to sit between Hermione and Elaine, but Hermione was busy cutting a particularly difficult piece of ribs, and Elaine was still staring at Adair and didn't notice her walking behind her, so Daphne could only He patted Parvati, who was sitting next to Elaine, hoping she would give her a seat.

Parvati gave in without saying a word, after all, Daphne came over often.

Seeing this, Hermione paused slightly with her knife and fork.

"Are you wondering why Professor Shafiq came here?"

"Well, do you have information?"

"In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the sixth grade, some Slytherin students were startled by her." Daphne said succinctly, "She said something interesting would happen at dinner."

"...something interesting?"

"Who knows?"

"Inexplicable guy..."

I can’t figure it out, I don’t understand, I don’t understand.

Maybe she thought it was funny to continue battling wits with the air, or maybe she relaxed after listening to the music. After taking a deep breath, Elaine decided to leave everything behind, finish dinner early and leave here early. Weird place.

"Hermione, you don't like rib roast?"

"...Too greasy."

"Is it okay?" Daphne smiled slightly, "If you don't like it, why did you throw all the ribs on Elaine's plate?"

"Ok?"

When Daphne said this, Elaine noticed that her plate was already filled with beef.

They are all cut into bite-sized pieces and can be eaten with a fork, which is very convenient.

"After I took a bite, I felt I didn't like it." Hermione turned her head and said dullly, "Elaine doesn't hate beef anyway, right?"

"Don't you hate it... but you put so much effort into cutting it and only eat one bite?" Elaine asked in confusion while eating, "This is just a normal rib. What are you dissatisfied with?"

"...Do you still need a reason to hate me?"

"No, as long as you're happy." Elaine was too embarrassed to eat Hermione's food for nothing, so she picked up the tongs and said, "How about I pick up something for you? Meat-stuffed mashed potato pie or fried tomatoes?"

"...I want lamb chops, cut them into pieces for me."

"Okay, okay."

"Elaine, can you cut some lamb chops for me too? I want to eat them too."

Daphne seemed to have discovered something and suddenly spoke.

Elaine didn't care at all, it was a cut for one person or two people anyway.

But later, the two asked her to cut more and more things...

"Well, why do you keep pestering Elaine?" Harry, who couldn't bear it, interrupted, "Let her have a good meal. Are your hands injured? And there is so much, you two can finish it." ?"

"Don't worry, Potter." "Harry, don't worry so much."

Hermione and Daphne said in unison. I don't know why, but they seemed to be competing today.

After belatedly, Elaine finally realized that the atmosphere was strange, but her intuition told her not to ask any more questions.

"Okay, eat quickly. If you don't eat, the house elf will take the plate away."

After giving Daphne a cold look, Hermione began to eat in earnest.

Daphne was not so obedient, she looked at Elaine with a smile and said to her.

"feed me?"

"...Don't even think about it."

"But I want you to feed me."

"Eat it yourself." Elaine replied angrily. "Even if your hand is broken, your wand is still intact. You don't need me to teach you the floating spell, right?"

"If you don't, I will tell you what happened in the secret passage last time." Daphne's tone was obviously very gentle, but Elaine suddenly shuddered. "The whole school will know that you would rather cast a Confusion Charm than——"

"...Forget it, I guess you're ruthless──"

"I'll do it." Just when Elaine was about to agree, Hermione took out her wand and pointed it at Daphne's dinner plate, causing the food inside to fly up. “There’s no need to bother Elaine for such a small matter.”

"...Then should I thank you?"

"If you remember etiquette."

"What's wrong with you two?" Ron said vaguely with his mouth full of food, "What's the point of arguing? Isn't it normal for Daphne and Elaine to feed each other? Are they engaged?"

"Yes, Elaine - she is my fiancée."

Daphne stretched out her hand, hooked Elaine's right arm, and announced loudly.

At that moment, Elaine's crisis radar exploded.

She subconsciously wanted to run, but her arms were held tightly by Daphne, and Hermione didn't give her a chance. She immediately grabbed Elaine's left arm and retorted with a louder voice.

"Even if there is an engagement, you can't force her like this!"

"This has nothing to do with you, right? You are just her classmate, what qualifications do you have to care about us?"

"I──because I like Elaine! I can't stand you bullying her!"

In front of at least 70% of the students in the school, Hermione boldly confessed her love.

The restaurant fell silent for a moment.

[Holy shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! 】
