The days at Hogwarts

The entire Gryffindor family was celebrating today's victory, and the twins brought all kinds of food, drinks, and even butterbeer from the kitchen.

Wood's face was slightly flushed, his eyes were bright, and he was talking loudly: "I knew, I knew Harry would be an excellent seeker..."

The twin brothers were eating strange magic candies. One of them ate an ice mouse, and his teeth chattered and clattered together. The other ate a pepper urchin, and fire came out of his mouth.

The two men breathed cold air/fire at each other, looked at each other, and laughed out loud, hahahahaha.

Seamus' eyes lit up. He pulled Dean aside and asked, what would happen if he ate Ice Rat and Pepper Pussy at the same time?

Neville quickly grabbed the two of them and said, "Don't try! Uncle Ambrose said that someone was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for doing this."

Ambrosio is the owner of Honeydukes Candy Store.

When Seamus and Dean heard this, they said in unison, "No way, no way, no one would dare to do this, right?"

The smell was so strong that Loren next to him frowned and looked like an old man looking at his phone on the subway.

"Where did you learn that?" Loren said.

Seamus blinked, "I learned that from you."

Dean added: "We dealt with the Slytherins in this way today. It was really fun."

Loren slapped his forehead in pain and said, I am a sinner.

On the other side, Harry, Ron and Hermione did not fully integrate into this atmosphere.

After the game, they chatted with Hagrid and learned the name of Nicolas Flamel. Hermione also saw Snape cursing Harry. Now the three of them are more certain that Snape is not a good person.

The three deduced that the thing Fluffy was guarding involved Dumbledore and a man named Nicolas Flamel, and that Snape wanted to get that thing and kill Harry.

As for Loren, Hermione suggested that Loren should not be involved in this matter. Snape threatened Loren, but Loren did not cooperate with Snape. They could not make things difficult for Loren.

Harry and Ron agreed.

The twin brothers came over, one on each side, lifted Loren up with one hand each and carried him to the crowd.

"If you ask me, today's victory is inseparable from Loren!"

"He is the eighth member of our team!"

This was acknowledged by all the Gryffindor Quidditch players. With Loren's commentary, the game became easier for them.

Everyone cheered in unison, throwing Loren up, catching him, throwing him up, and catching him again.

After a few times, Loren shouted loudly: "No, put me down, put me down!"

At this time, led by Simo, everyone started to say, "No way, no way, someone is not going to be able to take it anymore." Regardless of Loren's feelings, they threw him up again.

Loren was crying in his heart, I deserve this, I am a sinner!

The merry party lasted till late, and at last Professor McGonagall came in and warned them that it was time to rest.

Wood, blushing, ran to Professor McGonagall and tried to stir up the crowd by throwing her up as well.

But he was the only one who was really drunk in the whole audience. The others were still sober and were silent, not daring to cooperate with him, and pretended not to hear Wood's booing.

Percy was close to tears.

Everyone thought Professor McGonagall was going to turn Wood into something and teach him a lesson.

Surprisingly, Professor McGonagall simply asked Wood's roommate to take Wood back to bed and let everyone go.

Professor McGonagall was also very happy with today's victory.

……

For nearly a month, the three little ones carefully avoided Loren as they were busy looking for information about Nicolas Flamel.

But it was too obvious that they were guilty and didn't dare to face Loren.

At one point Neville even asked Harry if they were having any trouble with Loren.

Hermione realized belatedly that they couldn't alert the enemy like this.

The few of them got together with Loren again, went to get out of class together, and did homework together in the library. The only thing they didn't mention in front of Loren was Nicolas Flamel.

An afternoon doing homework in the library.

Loren put away his finished homework and looked at the three people next to him.

Harry was holding a copy of "Great Wizards of the 20th Century", Hermione was holding "Major Discoveries in Modern Magic" and "A Study of the Development of Modern Witchcraft", and Ron had his head buried in "A List of Famous Contemporary Magicians", nodding his head, and it was obvious that he was very sleepy.

Loren patted Ron and said, "You're drooling on the book."

Ron raised his head suddenly, his sleepy face unable to open his eyes, and he wiped his face with his hands randomly: "Where is it, where is it?"

Harry also raised his head, his eyes unfocused, and he shook his head listlessly, looking ahead. Although he was not asleep, he couldn't concentrate on the book at all. He stared blankly at the book, and his mind had long since flown away.

How stupid! These two teammates are really stupid. This was the only thought in Hermione's mind.

"Ha!" Loren couldn't help but laugh, "I've finished my homework. You can take a look at it if you want to refer to it."

He then looked at Hermione, "Hermione, come out with me."

Then he walked out of the library.

When Harry and Ron heard that there was nothing more to do, they lowered their heads again. One of them began to nod continuously, and the other's eyes began to lose focus.

When Hermione heard this, she began to feel nervous. Did Loren know something? Should I tell him? How should I say it?

For some reason, Hermione felt uncomfortable when she thought about deceiving Loren. With a nervous heart, she followed Loren blankly and walked out of the library.

Loren found a deserted aisle and turned to look at Hermione.

Not long after the Quidditch game, it started snowing in Hogwarts. Everyone changed into winter clothes and put on sweaters under their wizard robes, making them feel bloated.

Hermione was the same, wrapped up in a bulging blanket, with a bright red and yellow Gryffindor towel around her neck. Her fluffy hair set off her baby-fat cheeks, and when she smiled, her two front teeth were exposed. She looked like a little squirrel, so cute.

Loren saw this and couldn't help wanting to play a trick on him.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Loren said.

Hermione was a little anxious and wanted to explain, "I, I didn't mean to hide it from you. We are -"

Before he could finish, Loren interrupted and asked, "Are you looking for Nicolas Flamel?"

Hermione opened her mouth slightly in surprise and looked at Loren with a puzzled look, her whole face expressing "How do you know?"

The little squirrel's expression when eating the whale was so cute that Loren was eager to try it. "You guys are reading books like Great Wizards of the 20th Century and List of Famous Contemporary Magicians. Who can't guess it?"

Before Hermione could say anything, Loren said, "Come to the abandoned classroom by the magic mirror tonight by yourself, and I'll tell you." Then he walked away.

Hermione was left with a stuck mind. She couldn't quite figure it out, but she was sure that Loren would not harm her.

In the evening, Hermione went to the appointment alone.

When I opened the door, Loren was already waiting in the empty classroom.

A desk and two chairs were placed in the middle of the abandoned classroom. On the desk was a piece of black cloth, covering something, piled up on the desk.

Loren asked Hermione to sit down and looked at her seriously, "I know you are looking for Nicolas Flamel, but I can't tell you directly."

"You should know some spells about keeping secrets."

Hermione nodded.

The Fidelius Charm, the Unbreakable Vow, and a few other spells can serve this purpose.

"I need you to help me break the spell so I can tell you the truth."

If Hermione still remembered the way Loren tricked her into petting the cat during her first Transfiguration class, she would have noticed that Loren's tone was exactly the same as it is now.

"What do you need me to do?" Hermione's tone was firm. She wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible and rescue Loren.

Loren pulled off the black cloth, and the table was piled with chocolate frogs, cockroaches and other candies.

How can these things break the spell? Hermione looked at Loren with such confusion on her face.

"Eat them all~" Loren's voice was vague.

Hermione felt like there was a big question mark on her head, "Are you sure this is the way to remove the curse?"

Loren comforted her, "Hermione, you should know that magic is varied and there are many different ways to break it."

"Would I lie to you?"

Loren was not confident enough to say this, so he changed his expression, "Would I lie to you about this?"

Hermione hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to pick up a pack of chocolate frogs and tore open the package.

Looking at the chocolate frog's hopping legs, Hermione resisted the urge to throw it away with shaking hands, and gave herself enough encouragement before putting it in her mouth.

The sweet chocolate melted, and the sweet core inside burst out with various aromas, suppressing Hermione's discomfort.

"Hehe, it's delicious, right?" Loren teased.

Hermione nodded a little embarrassedly. It brought her a strange feeling. She obviously hated this kind of candy, but the candy gave her a pleasant feeling.

Loren was looking at the pictures that came with the package. When he saw the characters on the pictures, he said cheerfully, "We're lucky. The first one is Dumbledore."

Once things have been started, the rest will not be that difficult. Hermione ate the next few chocolate frogs smoothly. As a result, Hermione felt less disgusted with this kind of food.

Hermione didn't notice that Loren couldn't stop the wicked smile on his face.

Chapter 62 How Can This Not Be a Good Person?

The look of Hermione gritting her teeth in disgust was so funny, and Loren's bad taste was satisfied.

After a while, when Hermione got used to the chocolate frog and her expression calmed down, Loren lowered his head and sorted the pictures one by one.

Cliona picking her nose, medieval witch, put it away.

Paracelsus from the Renaissance. There is also a portrait of this wizard who is good at healing arts in the corridor.

Dumbledore, take it out and put it aside.

Although the table looked like a pile of candy, the packaging took up a large part of it, and the chocolate frog was eaten in no time. There was a small pile of pictures, including several of Dumbledore.

Hermione had never eaten so many candies so wantonly in her life. Chocolate made her brain secrete dopamine, which made her feel happy. She felt happy but she shouldn't be so happy. It felt weird.

Hermione thought that in the future, she could eat chocolate frogs as a normal snack even without any reason. She also planned to bring some back and let her parents try it. Her father would definitely be interested in it.

But it’s different for cockroaches. The inability to accept cockroaches is genetically and physiologically engraved.

Hermione looked at the cockroaches rustling in the box, her scalp tingling, and she said timidly, "Is there really no other way?"

"Finish everything." Loren is a real bad boy.

Hermione struggled internally for a while, and finally mustered up the courage. With a determination to die on her face, she shrank her little head, stretched out her hand, and pinched a cockroach between her thumb and index finger.

Candy struggled restlessly in her hand. The small thorns on the arthropod's legs scratched the girl's fingers, making her feel itchy. The tingling sensation seemed to be transmitted to her back through her fingers.

"Ouch!" Hermione couldn't stand it anymore and collapsed, "I can't do it!"

She let go of the cockroaches and let them fall onto the table. The cockroach-shaped candies automatically crawled back into the box.

Oh no, that seems to be too much.

Loren stopped playing pranks, "Don't, don't cry, just forget it if you can't eat it."

Hermione's face was red. She used to cry like this only in front of her parents. When she was older, she thought it was too childish. She was already eleven years old. Even if she cried, she would not whimper. That would be too unpresentable.

Hermione's face was flushed. She seemed to be acting like a spoiled child to someone close to her just now. Fortunately, Loren didn't notice.

Glancing at Loren secretly, Hermione raised her hand to wipe her face, then reached out and grabbed a handful of candy and put it in her mouth.

That bug feeling came back, and Hermione started crying again while eating, "Woo, woo..."

The rich aroma of chocolate, filled with lemon syrup, tastes sour, sweet, and a little refreshing.

Loren slowly moved closer and asked tentatively, "Is it delicious?"

"Woooooo~"

Hermione cried even louder. Hearing the question, the girl sniffed and said angrily, "Delicious!"

Loren couldn't help laughing. It was so funny that the little squirrel cried while eating and said it was delicious.

"You're still laughing! It's all because of you!" Hermione became angry when she saw Loren laughing, and reached out to grab a handful of cockroaches and stuffed them into Loren's mouth.

Loren liked to eat this stuff, so he followed Hermione and ate the candies on the table with her.

In the abandoned classroom, the dim light casts shadows of two little people. Sharing the interesting candy, one can't help laughing from time to time, while the other sniffles and occasionally slaps the person next to him in anger.

Finish the candies on the table.
