Hufflepuff never works overtime

Chapter 160

This year's College Cup Gryffindor successfully won the second consecutive championship.

The controversy over the results this time is not as big as last time. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see how eccentric the headmaster was in the previous school year. He clearly wanted Gryffindor to get the No. In the Gryffindor tie, ten points were added to an unknown boy - for standing up to his friends bravely and preventing them from taking risks.

How outrageous is this?

Hermione won the first place in the second year, and it only added [-] points. What's more, if she could add [-] points to prevent her friends from taking risks, Faith should have won the House Cup for Hufflepuff.

Of course, for this year's Academy Cup results, such controversy no longer exists.

Although Gryffindor is slightly inferior to Ravenclaw in other grade competitions, and the school Quidditch competition is slightly inferior to Slytherin in total points, but in terms of overall performance, the struggle of the lions is the best for the naked eye. visible.

What's more, Hermione also set the highest personal scoring record for Hogwarts in the past 10 years. People can't help but sigh, if she didn't petrify those 5 months, she might really become the No. 1 scorer since the Academy Cup was held.

However, all the above-mentioned things are not for Hufflepuff. Their natural optimism and contentment—even some people can be called loose—make the students of Badger House not so concerned about the last honor.

A little achievement is enough to satisfy them - No.3 in the total points of the Quidditch competition, one of the seven first place in the grade, and the gap with the first place in the Academy Cup has narrowed to less than 100 points...

What makes them happiest is that the holiday this year is a whole week earlier than last year!

"Oh hoo, you're back Hermione, are you done saying goodbye to those two boys?"

Hermione is holding the phone number of the Dursleys that Harry just gave her. Last year, all the letters she sent to the other party were intercepted by an elf named Dobby. This year, he has a long memory. , and even plans to teach the Weasleys to call.

Surprised to see the suddenly full box, Hermione carefully put the note into the satchel, sat next to Faith, and looked at the opposite side curiously, "Why did you two sit together this time? Sit with your brothers."

"Anyway, I'm going to see Anthony's face every day for the next two months, so I might as well make out with you for a while before we part." Talassie tried to make a winking gesture, but the actual effect looked more like her His eyelids were cramped.

Faise was used to the other party's incongruity, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't be like this, you look so stupid."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Faith Orest, you ruthless woman, won't you recognize anyone when you get out of my bed!" Tarsila became even more fussy when she heard the other party's words.

"Oh?!" Hermione lost her composure instantly when she heard this, her eyes flicked back and forth between the two, "You... will you sleep together?"

"It's just that I played too crazy last night and put the two beds together to tell ghost stories," Faith remembered that Hermione's bedroom was not as harmonious as theirs, and poked the other's cheek with her finger, "together with Tarsila Sleeping is not a good experience, it feels like sleeping in the Amazon forest, it's so noisy."

"what!"

When Tarsila heard this, her eyes widened immediately, and she looked pitifully at Miriam, who was smiling beside her, "I don't have it, do I?"

"Hmm..." Seeing the other party's puppy-like sincere eyes, Miriam touched the top of her head comfortingly, "It's okay, I'm used to it, and it sounds quite reassuring."

"It doesn't sound like a human being can make, okay..." Faith shrank her neck, "I feel like her teeth are going to be broken, like she's chewing on a wooden board."

After being comforted, Tarsila stiffened again in an instant. She made a strange face at Faith, and turned to look at Hermione indignantly, "Does this guy sleep well at night?"

Hermione, who was still watching the show from the sidelines, didn't expect that the flames of war would suddenly spread to her. All three eyes focused on her. She pursed her lips and thought for a while.

"Face...she's quite obedient, she didn't make any movement while sleeping."

Except for the sudden hug...

I remembered that when I woke up at the beginning, I would inexplicably find that the other person's head was rubbing against me, wrapping around one of my arms, and then the whole person got into my arms, like an insecure kitten.

Hermione blushed a little for no reason, but in order to maintain Faise's image in front of her dormmates, she still didn't say these things out of her mouth.

"Hmph, did you hear that?" Faith crossed her arms, and looked at the other side triumphantly, "You are really unlucky for Miriam, I don't even know how she got used to it."

"Actually, you'll get used to it after listening to it a lot." Miriam was observing Hermione's expression changes probingly, and said casually, "Tasila will be like that when she is more excited or too tired, and it doesn't happen every day."

Hearing the two talking about their sleeping habits, even a heart as big as Tarsila felt a little embarrassed. She tugged at her cuffs, "Is it really a strange sound? I haven't noticed it myself... "

"Of course you can't find out when you are sleeping." Miriam waved her hand indifferently, "I heard from my brother that there is a symphony every night in the boys' dormitory. If you are very concerned, I heard it during the summer vacation and can record it for you. .”

"Um……"

When the two were discussing the sleep observation plan, Faise felt her cuff being tugged and turned her head to look at each other, "What's wrong, Hermione?"

"I, do I behave strangely when I sleep?"

It must be a lie to say that she doesn't care, Hermione curled her hair with her fingers, and asked softly, her eyes glanced at the opposite side from time to time, for fear of being overheard by them.

Faith thought about it seriously. Most of the time, she went to bed earlier and woke up later than the other party, so she really didn't know what Hermione would do at night.

However, feeling the more intense gaze from her side, Faise resisted the desire to turn up the corners of her mouth, how rare such a little lion is, it's dumb and cute, making people want to bully it.

"Hmmm..." After deliberately procrastinating her thinking for a long time, Faise said leisurely, "Your sleeping posture is the same as your posture in class. It's so upright that it doesn't mean anything, but once I woke up very early, and it turned out Found you untangling the hair that's tangled between us."

Faith couldn't help smiling, "This may be the only inconvenient place to sleep with you."

Can that be my fault?In the final analysis, it's because you fell asleep that you fell asleep and came here!

After listening to the other party's words, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help giving Faise a white look.

Chapter 160 The end of the second school year

As the train progressed, the scenery outside the window was constantly changing, and the sudden rain on the way added a hazy filter to everything.

This will not affect the heated discussion atmosphere in the carriage, and no one even cares about the view outside the window—it is not the first time for them to go to and from Hogwarts, and the novelty fades quickly.

"I wanted to travel to France during the summer vacation." Tarsila stuffed a lot of snacks into her mouth regretfully, and they stopped by a lot before leaving. This is the benefit of living opposite the kitchen.

"But if you pass the exam like this, there is probably no hope..."

Miriam nodded in agreement, "You should relax a bit this summer, Aunt Olivia will definitely grab you to study, she has said it many times, I'm afraid you won't pass any OWL in fifth grade. "

"Traveling does take a lot of time." Hermione stretched her waist, "The preparations for the final exam this time are really stressful. After I go back, I will have a good rest for a few days before starting to prepare for the next semester. "

When Faise heard the other party's words, she raised her eyebrows amusedly, "I'm different, I have to rest for at least two months."

"Your body will rust like this," Hermione sighed helplessly, "Although you can't practice Quidditch at home, you still need to do a little exercise, why don't I accompany you to learn swimming during the summer vacation? "

Amidst the laughter and laughter along the way, the train was approaching the end soon, and the corridor outside the box gradually became lively, and they changed their clothes in the suitcase two by two.

Seeing Hermione put on casual clothes instead of robes, Faith was in a daze for a moment.

"What's the matter? You look dumbfounded," Hermione noticed that the other party was staring at her, and pulled the hem of her clothes a little shyly, "I seem to have grown taller, and my clothes seem to have shrunk, so it's strange to wear it like this ?"

"No," Faise waved her hands quickly, unbuttoned her shirt, and said in a low voice while putting the clothes on her head, "It's been a long time since I saw you dressed like this, and I'm not used to it."

Hermione turned her back the moment she saw the other party taking off her clothes. She secretly condemned herself in her heart, why did she have to be so surprised? Isn't it common to change clothes with friends of the same gender...

But her attention was quickly attracted by the other party's words, and she looked at her trousers with some understanding, "Indeed, walking in a while will definitely be a lot easier, wearing a 'parachute' all day, who can stand it."

"I'm fine, let's go." After changing her clothes, Faise patted the other person's shoulder lightly.

After the train came to a complete stop, she said a brief farewell to the two friends, and Hermione almost couldn't wait to drag Faise into the crowded crowd.

This is not surprising, since she has not seen her parents for nine months since the beginning of school.

Faise, who was behind Hermione, was the complete opposite. Although she followed the person in front of her in a hurry, her face showed no expectation at all. After all, she knew in her heart that there would be no one to greet her on that platform. people.

I hope Rabbi cooks her favorite meals at home, it feels like her appetite is almost being fed by the elves at Hogwarts...

The faces of the people who passed by all had expressions of anticipation or excitement. Before some people got out of the train, the relatives who came to greet them had already patted the window glass to find them.

But at least I am luckier than Potter. What is waiting at home is a caring elf and a free life, instead of a mean aunt's family and a life under the fence.

Having heard from Hermione about Mr. Savior's embarrassing life in the Muggle world, Faise smiled wryly, and she could only comfort herself in such a bitter way.

It may be that the school life at Hogwarts changed her. She became used to the bickering between Tarsila and Miriam before going to bed every night, to living in a suitcase and sniffing on the same bed, and to the endless Quidditch training and teammates who encourage each other, teachers with different habits and personalities, and unique classrooms...

But all of this went away in the roar of the train, and a sense of loneliness came to my heart.

Although she was a witch herself, she still couldn't prolong the happy time a little bit. When the time limit came, she could only flee back to where she should stay in embarrassment.

Thinking about messy things in her mind, someone suddenly squeezed her hand hard, bringing Faise back to reality.

She came back to her senses, looked up and saw Hermione's concerned eyes, and Faise lowered her eyes to stare at the hands that they held tightly. The loneliness in her heart disappeared like a devil exposed to the sun. trace.

Hermione paused deliberately, and waited for many people who fell behind her to slowly squeeze to her side. The hands of the two who were close to their sides were tightly clenched, "There are really a lot of people..."

Faith nodded silently. After changing her position, Hermione protected her between the wall and the other party. The relatively safe space separated her from the flow of people.

"I should have waited for the people to disperse in the box before coming out. Are you okay, Faith?"

She snorted softly as a reply, but the other party didn't seem to hear clearly, so Faise put her head next to Hermione's ear, "I'm fine, we should be close to the open door, don't worry too much."

"Uh huh, I hope my father will drive over this time. Faith, do you want to take our family's car? Why don't you just stay at our house for two days? I don't want to separate from you so soon. See you often..."

Listening to the other party chattering beside her, if it was normal, she would definitely reject the proposal of traveling with her, but this time she was really moved.

Of course, the heartbeat is only for a moment, after all, the rabbi's hard work is still at home waiting for him to taste it.

The moment they stepped onto the platform from the train door, like fish without bait, the crowd dispersed in all directions instantly, and fresh air flooded into the lungs again.

"mom!"

After looking around a few times, Hermione immediately waved to a woman whose eyes were glued to the train. Her excited tone and loud voice passed through the crowd and reached the other party smoothly.

"Hermione!" Mrs. Granger turned her head quickly, and her eyes locked on her daughter who had been away for a long time almost in the blink of an eye. She hurried over and hugged the two girls into her arms.

Faith didn't expect that she would be involved in the mother-daughter reunion. When she noticed Mrs. Granger trotting over, she tried to let go of Hermione's hand, but the lion cub held it tightly and didn't give her a hand at all. There was no chance to escape, so they were caught together.

Mrs. Granger kissed Faise's face, and rubbed the top of Faise's head, "Little Faise has grown a lot taller, is she eating well?"

Faced with Mrs. Granger's enthusiasm, Faise shyly wanted to hide behind Hermione, but she didn't want to disappoint her, so she stopped abruptly and nodded her head that was about to smoke, "I'm fine. Mrs Granger, thank you for your concern."

After teasing the restrained child for a while, Mrs. Granger turned her eyes to the long-awaited Hermione's face. She first carefully looked at her daughter to make sure that the other party had no missing arms or legs.

Then she leaned into Hermione's ear and whispered, "Little Faith is still here, I don't want you to lose face in front of her, but when I get home, I hope to hear an unreserved explanation for the months you lost contact , think about it carefully."

Looking at her daughter who was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Granger also kissed her side of the face, "Welcome back, Hermione."

Chapter 160 Three

This summer, Faith lived a particularly simple and empty life. She was never a self-disciplined child like Hermione. Except for occasionally going out to the comic shop to borrow a few books for spiritual food and doing some activities outside, she stayed honestly in the rest of the time. home.

The main reason was that she got used to the college life at Hogwarts, and Faise completely broke away from the circle of Muggles her age. After all, she had no interest in such expensive and noisy activities as parties and fitness.

Coupled with the fact that Lockhart's reputation plummeted after he lost his memory, the price of his ridiculously expensive textbooks in the second-hand store in Diagon Alley plummeted, and none of them can be sold until now. shelved.

No social life and no money... She didn't know what to do if she wanted to hang out.

Of course, there was another reason for her depravity - Hermione was grounded.

This news was learned by Faise from Hermione's complaint call on the second day after the holiday. Although it was a bit unexpected, the attitude of Mrs. Granger, who has always advocated free-range education, was surprisingly tough this time. , but will get this end, it can only be said that the other party is to blame.

Curiosity will not only kill the cat, but also make the naughty little lion suffer.

Originally, it was not a big deal for Hermione to simply deprive her of entertainment activities. With the company of books and a piano, she could even live a more nourishing life than Faise. At most, her exercise needs could only be met in the gym at home.

But the problem is that the Granger family originally planned to travel to France this summer, and they even started preparing for it last year, and Faise was even asked insinuatingly if they wanted to go together.

So when she heard that the Grangers actually decided to abandon their daughter and change their original plan to go to France, they still showed complete surprise.

Given that the tone on the other end of the phone was too low, and as the time between the two grew longer, she did miss each other a little bit.

In the end, Faise couldn't bear Hermione's soft-heartedness, and she agreed with her half-heartedly. After the Grangers set off, she went to spend the vacation with the lonely little lion.

And today is the day she leaves.

The luggage was only half packed, and since the moment Hermione woke up, there have been three calls to urge Hermione, and Faise deeply felt that the other party was really suffocated.

When the bell at home rang again, Rabbi and Faise, who were loading clothes on the second floor, looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in their eyes.

He stopped the rabbi from going downstairs. Anyway, the person the other party was looking for must be herself, and she would go down sooner or later.

Faise hurried down the stairs to pick up the phone, and before the other party could urge her, she said preemptively, "Hermione... I told you, I'm still packing my luggage, unless you figure out how to put our two families together now." the way the fireplaces are connected together, or I shall not be there in time for you in the morning,"

Faith didn't hear the reply from the other side, but she smelled the scent coming from the kitchen, and smiled from the corner of her eyes, "Are you sure your parents have left when I go? I don't want to drag a suitcase and They hit each other right, so easily destroying my image of a good boy in Mrs. Granger's heart..."

"We're at the airport now, little Fayse,"

The other party finally found the opportunity to speak, but it was not Hermione's voice that came from the other end of the phone, but a familiar and steady female voice, "Don't worry, you won't meet us."

Faith froze in place for an instant, the blush and heat spread from her cheeks to the base of her ears almost at the same time, her tongue seemed to be knotted, and said hesitantly, "Mrs Granger, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to call The phone call... things are not what you imagined, it's because I haven't seen Hermione for too long, that's why..."

"Relax, Fayce, I don't mean to blame you," Mrs. Granger did not feel angry at all, her tone was still full of smiles, she knew her daughter too well, "I originally gave you The reason for calling is to ask you to accompany her, although it is to give her a punishment, but if it goes too far, Hermione will hold a grudge."

"Yes ma'am..."
