[HP] Seven Nights Talk

Hufflepuff's new prefect is Ernie MacMillan, Ravenclaw's is Anthony Goldstein, and none of that has changed.Harry was very thankful that the Head Boy didn't make them patrol in pairs or anything.He'd had enough going on lately, and didn't want to be pestered with details of the Triwizard Tournament or belittled about Voldemort.

After the meeting was over, Harry went out, met Hermione, and went to find Ron together.In the process, he ran into several other female prefects, Padma Patil, who showed him a friendly and warm smile, and Hannah Abbott, who was a little shy in greeting, but also Polite enough, Pansy Parkinson, her bulging eyes stared straight at Harry, feeling like they might fall off at any moment.

"Come on," said Hermione, shoving Harry in the lower half until they were completely out of sight. "How can a guy like that be a prefect? ​​She's a total cow! Got brains." Shock trolls are smarter than her!"

Harry knew she was talking about Parkinson's.Although Malfoy seemed to know something and didn't dare to insult Hermione as a Mudblood to her face (and had no such chance), Parkinson was obviously on the same level as Crabbe and Goyle; It's a kind of stuff, and it's easy to speak sarcasm about others.In this way, Hermione, who is Muggle-born, has excellent grades, and has an arrogant temper, will naturally become a thorn in her side.He opened his mouth, and then felt that he didn't need to hit Hermione's gun at this time, so he pretended to ask casually, "What's the matter with her?"

"They're all asking about you!" said Hermione, leading Harry through the crowd of students on the train walkway, letting them sit back in the carriage. "Forget about Hannah and Padma, just rely on her?" She snorted, extremely ironic.

"Ask about me?" Harry was puzzled, "What are you doing?" Nothing happened during the whole summer vacation, right?

Hermione glanced over at him suddenly. "Don't tell me you didn't think of it?" She said unhappily, "You are popular! Although the end of the Triwizard Tournament became like that, after calming down, they all thought of you——Hogwart The Warriors of the United States, doing well, taking the silver cup, and being single - is that any surprise?"

"...Wait?" Harry finally understood, but was anxious. "But I'm not single—"

His voice stopped abruptly as Hermione stopped suddenly. "I know it too! But the point is not that we just know it!" She said angrily, "I get annoyed when I see her—to be honest, I have been pestered by this kind of question since last year. They all come to me, you What kind of girls do you like—can you make them all stop?"

Harry was a little embarrassed.That aspect never occurred to him—he never thought he could be a heartthrob like Cedric had been.And he's not really a teenager anymore, he's less responsive to that kind of stuff because he has more important things to think about.It is estimated that what Parkinson said just now happened to set Hermione on fire. "I'll talk, soon," he reassured.

Hermione finally calmed down a bit. "Have you finally reached an agreement with Professor Roald?" she said, her tone no longer as aggressive as before. "Or in your terms, you've got him done?"

"Yeah." Harry was very glad that Voldemort had rushed back to Hogwarts ahead of time, and didn't hear Hermione's words.Otherwise, this might have given the other party another reason to toss him to death—in bed, of course—same as the consequences of his previous hot-bloodedly saying that Voldemort couldn't do it.At this time they had found the compartment where Ron was, and he was very happy to find this out: "I'll tell you when I find time."

This time it was Hermione's turn to give him a slightly suspicious look.Although the teacher-student relationship sounds very hot, but Harry doesn't seem to be the kind of person who cares about such things?And Professor Roald looks very young... Then why did Harry make such a mysterious and long story?

When it was about to reach Hogwarts, the sky outside the car window began to overcast, and then it rained heavily.Basically every time they go back to school, the weather is like this, the difference is that the rain is heavy and the rain is very heavy.When changing to the carriage, they saw Hagrid who was soaking wet and said hello.Even Hermione was thankful that the person who was going to take the first year on the boat in this weather wasn't a prefect.

The carriage was driving on the muddy ground, and the wind lanterns hung on it meandered into a faintly visible road in the wind and rain.As the convoy passed the gate with the boar statue, Harry saw through the shaky curtains that there were guards on both sides.He had heard before that in light of the events at the end of last term, Fudge had to agree to have Aurors stationed at the school in shifts, as countless parents had called for increased security at Hogwarts.Everyone agreed that this was what it should be, and Aurors were much easier to accept than Dementors, and it didn't cause any major fluctuations.And when they reached the gate of the castle, everyone just wanted to have a quick meal.

Neville got out first, then Hermione, then Harry.Suddenly a strong wind blew, he staggered a bit, and stretched out his hand to support the back of the Thestral in front so as not to fall.Then he jumped down and turned to see Ron staring at him in surprise. "how did you do it?"

Harry didn't understand for a moment, and he knew why when he saw the direction of his gaze.Ron couldn't see the Thestrals, so he had the feeling that Harry was hanging on the air. "Uh..." He didn't know what to say.Thestrals do exist, but only those who have seen death can see them, so how can he explain where he witnessed death?

Luna came down after Ron and showed him the magazine in her hand. "This happened to be reported on it. If you want to know, I'll go back and lend it to you?"

Ron was obviously indifferent to someone who wore a necklace of butterbeer corks around his neck, stuck his wand behind his left ear, insisted that magazines be read upside down, and didn't think he was weird in the slightest. "Oh, well," he said vaguely, trying to evade, "thank you, I'll look for you when I remember..." Then he took a few quick steps, catching up to Hermione and Neville ahead.

Harry was about to walk to the front together when he heard someone say, "He's not going to borrow it, is he?"

It was Luna, and her voice sounded very calm, but it made him hesitate for a moment. "He's just..." Harry tried to make an excuse for Ron, then realized it wasn't working, and Luna had already seen that.So he simply said directly: "Thank you for helping me out just now."

Luna blinked her eyes, and her pale eyes seemed even bigger. "It's okay, it's how it should be," she said, "No one wants everyone to know about this kind of thing."

Harry didn't speak, and looked back at the thestrals again.They were slick from the rain, and were snorting impatiently as Hagrid unhooked them from the nooses on the handlebars.This reminded him of the moments he had witnessed before - Sirius accidentally passed through the curtain while avoiding the spell, Dumbledore flew from the tower like a rag doll, Hedwig was fighting was hit by a green light in the night sky and fell rapidly...

He quickly realized that no matter what the current situation is, he doesn't want to see these things happen again; so even if there is only a little chance, he will not give up; The forest is exactly the same, never changed.

The two climbed up the stairs in front of the castle together, walked through the corridor among the crowd, and finally saw the gate of the auditorium.It was silent all the way, until Luna broke the state: "I like you."

Harry was taken aback by her sudden announcement. "What?" They haven't said a few words at all now, have they?

Seeing his shocked look, Luna laughed. "Oh, don't worry, I know you have someone you like." She didn't have the slightest sense that she was dropping bombs now, and continued, "You make me feel like we've known each other for a long time. I mean that kind of It feels like a friend."

Harry thought that last sentence seemed like Luna had put it on purpose to scare him away, but he couldn't deny that it was true. "We're friends indeed," he grinned, and he said it with absolute sincerity. "It's just that you said..."

After hearing his affirmation, Luna's eyes lit up. "You're different from everyone else," she said, "I sensed that early on. Don't worry," she said firmly, "though they're all mistaken, I'll keep it a secret from you—maybe you Would you like to change your mind?"

The words were so random that Harry was confused.But they had already entered the Great Hall door, and he couldn't ask any more questions, so he hurried over to the Gryffindor table.Ron and Hermione had taken his seat for him, and he sat down and looked around the teacher's table - Voldemort gave him a reserved smile reserved for such situations - before noticing that someone was asking him talk.

"When did you get so close to the crazy girl?" Ron didn't understand. "I've been waiting for you just now!"

"Don't say that about her, Ron." Harry and Hermione said these words almost at the same time.Then Harry gave her a look and told her to continue: "The Lunas are still fine."

They both held that view, and Ron dropped the subject decisively and started chatting with Neville instead.Hermione reminded Harry to finish his meal quickly, and the prefect still had things to do.

Then the door opened again, and Hagrid walked in with a group of soaked freshmen, dripping a channel of water as they passed.Almost everyone's eyes were on them, but then Harry's sense of being in the prefect's car returned, and it became more obvious - someone was watching him, more than one.From the corner of his eye, he could detect that some of those people were pointing at him.

Harry took a breath indiscriminately, then glanced over.On the Slytherin side, most of them looked away in a panic the moment they saw him turn his head.

He didn't even believe that this situation had nothing to do with Voldemort.Harry looked at the teacher's table again, and found that Voldemort's smile at the moment clearly said "be safe and don't be impatient".

The worst thing is that they all know... Harry muttered to himself, then looked away.It's just that he saw Luna on the way, and the latter smiled at him knowingly.

What did she know?Harry felt like his head was getting bigger.Why did the atmosphere become so weird when I came back from a summer vacation?
