Together [HP]

Jacqueline laughed. She opened her eyes and looked at Hermione. "Maybe it's because you didn't see Crookshanks when he was sleeping?"

Hermione smiled and shook her head, she shook the cup in her hand slightly, she turned her head and looked out the window.Jacqueline looked at Hermione's side face, she chuckled, closed her eyes, feeling the sunlight shining on her face through the glass of the cafe.Leaving aside all the affairs, my girlfriend sat opposite me, stealing half a day's leisure, both physically and mentally relaxed, this is the real rest.

"What do you want to do after I graduate?" Hermione asked softly when Jacqueline was about to fall asleep for a long time.

"Sleep well," Jacqueline said, laughing to herself.Hermione glanced at Jacqueline, then looked down at the glass in her hand.

"I'm not sure about anything else," Jacqueline rubbed her glass with her thumb, "but I'm sure that I won't teach at Hogwarts anymore. Professor McGonagall is probably wishing you could graduate soon , so that I can be sent away.”

Hermione frowned slightly, "You're a good teacher, you know that."

Jacqueline chuckled, and she reached out to hold Hermione's hand, "Of course I know this, my girlfriend. But," Jacqueline spread her hands, "teaching is not really suitable for me. .”

Hermione looked at Jacqueline, she didn't quite understand what Jacqueline was talking about, and what she wanted to say.But Hermione didn't say anything, she just covered the back of Jacqueline's hand.

"I don't know what's going on, Hermione." Jacqueline paused, looking like she wanted to clear her mind. "I just feel very tired recently. Although I don't seem to do anything every day, I don't know..."

Jacqueline frowned and shook her head, "This is completely different from the exhaustion I experienced when I was studying. At that time, I just had to do too much homework every day and didn't have that much energy, but now, "

Jacqueline took a deep breath, "I don't want to do anything anymore."

Hermione looked at Jacqueline, she was a little worried, "Maybe," Hermione thought for a while, and she said slowly, "You may just be a little tired, you know. What happened last year made us all feel tired. Too much energy wasted, especially you. I can't believe, and can't believe, how you survived on Malfoy's manor. You did,"

Hermione looked at Jacqueline and nodded, "You really should take a good rest." As Hermione said, she put down the coffee in her hand and picked up the coat that was put aside, "Let's go."

Jacqueline looked at Hermione very unclearly, she followed Hermione's example and picked up her coat, stood up, "Are we going to get it?"

"Go home," said Hermione firmly, pulling on her coat.

"Go home?" Jacqueline blinked, she looked at Hermione, and then at the ski resort outside. "We... don't you want to skate for a while?"

"But shouldn't you go back to sleep?" Hermione looked sideways at Jacqueline, "You need to go back to sleep."

"Hermione." Jacqueline took a step forward, and she gently took Hermione's hand that was pulling the zipper, "We don't need to be so anxious. Look, sit here, drink coffee, chat, and relax , this is also rest, isn’t it?”

Hermione frowned at Jacqueline, she was still a little puzzled. "But what if you fall asleep? It's better to go home and sleep in bed."

"Hermione." Jacqueline tugged Hermione's hand lightly, she sat down on her seat again, picked up her cup, "We just finished our coffee, no matter how sleepy I am, I don't feel tired now. Might have fallen asleep."

"But..." Hermione was still worried, she turned to look at Jacqueline, "Are you sure you don't need to go home to rest?"

Jacqueline rubbed Hermione's hand, she pulled Hermione to sit next to her, "Relax, Hermione, relax." Jacqueline said she leaned on the sofa completely, "Don't think about anything, That's rest, that's relaxation."

Hermione looked at Jacqueline, whose eyes were closed and breathing more and more steadily. She asked the waiter to add some coffee for herself, took out a needle and thread from her small bag, and began to knit.

Jacqueline tilted her head, leaning on Hermione's shoulder, watching Hermione's scarf slowly take shape.

"Why are you still knitting these things?" Jacqueline reached out and touched the scarf. "I thought it was Professor McGonagall who was paying the house elves wages."

"I really don't have to worry about the salary of the house elves at Hogwarts anymore," said Hermione, "but there are still a lot of house elves who don't get the treatment they deserve, so I should pay more attention now." Work hard to grow our SPEW."

"I asked Professor McGonagall." Hermione put the scarf she was knitting on the table, and she turned to look at Jacqueline, "I don't know how to send so many house elves Salary is such a big expense. I realize now that I used to have such a small amount of money that I could only pay the basic salary of less than ten house elves. There are many things, it is true that we think things too simply gone."

"But don't think things are too difficult." Jacqueline smiled and rubbed Hermione's palm, "Hogwarts' board of directors has a lot of money, so you won't give Professor McGonagall a lot of money." Too much trouble. And the Ministry of Magic, and many other places, actually have such funds. Not to mention, "

Jacqueline stopped, she looked at the half-woven scarf on Hermione's table, thoughtful, "Sometimes you really can't carry everything alone, even in high-end tailors In the store, a scarf is worth three Galleons at most, and yours..."

Jacqueline stopped, looked at Hermione, and decided not to make any comments.

"They gave me ten copper Knuts." Hermione didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed.

Jacqueline nodded cooperatively, "The minimum wage set by the Ministry of Magic is one galleon per hour. Although it is said that if the house-elves are liberated, their wages will definitely not allow you to pay them. But if you want to go to various places Going to give speeches, and the various funds needed to promote SPEW, according to this calculation..."

Hermione tightened her lips, "I also know that this is not a long-term plan, after all, if we liberate more house elves, we will need more funds, and we must not be able to weave these things alone." of."

"So, I was just thinking about this question." Jacqueline frowned and nodded, "You can't weave alone, no matter how much you use magic, no matter how much you weave every day and night, you won't be able to weave." Come on. So," Jacqueline looked into Hermione's eyes, "I was wondering if you could go get the house-elves together."

"Are they together?" Hermione was a little annoyed, but a little understanding. "You mean let them weave these together, and then sell them together for money?"

Jacqueline nodded, "As far as I know, the house elves have been very resistant to Professor McGonagall's forced salary and holidays for them. But I think if I tell them that the money comes from their work , I think maybe they could be more receptive."

"However," Hermione still looked a little resistant, "will this increase their workload?"

Jacqueline looked into Hermione's eyes in disbelief, and suddenly she didn't hold back and just laughed.Hermione blushed, and she patted Jacqueline lightly, "Why are you laughing, what did I say that made you find it so funny?"

"Hermione, Hermione." Jacqueline kissed Hermione's hair, "You can't always worry about these things, whether those things will add work to the elves, if you worry about everything, I'm afraid all the It's all up to you to do it."

"But..." Hermione frowned and thought about it, but she nodded quickly, "We can really try it when we go back."

"Yeah," Jacqueline nodded, "If they really like it and do a good job, I think I can give it to them in Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley, or somewhere else." A facade. You know, the things sold in the store will always cost a little more than you do."

"But," Hermione smiled and picked up the unfinished scarves on the table, "don't your shops cost a lot of rent? If you calculate it like this, I'm afraid we won't earn much in the end."

"Us?" Jacqueline hugged Hermione gently from behind, "Since when did you become a house-elf?"

Hermione smiled and nudged Jacqueline, "You know what I'm talking about. Besides, you're us too, and you keep forgetting that you're also an advisor to SPEW."

"Well, okay, consultant." Jacqueline reached out and pulled Hermione's scarf. Hermione patted the back of Jacqueline's hand lightly. Jacqueline chuckled, "Since it's you," Jacqueline said Lynn said the last two words emphatically, which made Hermione laugh, "Advisor, then I will give what I can. So, as long as the house-elf skills are good, I will give you a shop, absolutely , no rent will be charged forever.”

"That's not okay," Hermione shook her head. "If you're like this, Mrs. Graham will definitely say something about you. You can charge our rent, but not too much."

"It's okay." Jacqueline rested her chin on Hermione's shoulder, watching Hermione knitting her scarf, "I will pay your rent, and I will deduct it from my pocket money, anyway, I will Nothing to buy."

Hermione turned her face to look at Jacqueline affectionately, Jacqueline laughed, "Is it touched by me again?"

Hermione didn't speak, she put down what she was holding, lifted Jacqueline's chin, and kissed it.
