Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Glenn is no longer the road-crazy guy he used to be.

Under the guidance of the upgraded system map, Qiu and Penelo were found in the common room at a glance.

He turned on automatic pathfinding and returned to Ravenclaw Tower without any hindrance.

...

Half an hour later, the three of them returned to the entrance door of the Gryffindor common room.

The fat lady in the portrait looks drunk and delirious.

Her friend Violet was the same, leaning against the pillar in the painting, belching one or two wine burps from time to time.

There were several empty chocolate boxes scattered at the feet of the two of them. There were wine bottles of various formats painted on the boxes, and they were all obviously filled with wine-filled chocolates.

Although George had already told Glenn the password, it was still somewhat impolite to go in by himself so rashly, so the three of them stopped in front of the door and waited.

Not long after, Fred and George appeared at the corner of the corridor after returning home with a full load.

"Where did you get so much food?" Penello looked at them in surprise.

"The house elves in the kitchen, they are so enthusiastic!" Fred guarded the high-stacked dinner plates, "Please, Glenn, help me! I can't hold it anymore..."

Glenn quickly stepped forward and took a part of the crumbling silver plate from each of their arms.

Percy, who had been watching for the wind, also returned at this time, his eyes swept over Penello, and his ears turned red again.

He didn't dare to say hello, he just coughed twice in embarrassment and said the password to the dizzy fat lady.

"Merlin's beard!"

The fat lady's eyes were blurred, she glanced at several people, pursed her lips, and burped again.

"The password is correct... hiccup... it is Merlin's bread... Go in, children, and Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Fat Lady!"

One by one, everyone climbed into the passage behind the portrait.

In the lounge, Morgana was helping Charlie place the various snacks and butterbeer he had brought back on the table.

"Merlin's beard!" Charlie looked at the food in several people's arms and exclaimed, "Why did you bring so much?"

George put the dinner plates he was holding into his arms and placed them on the table one by one.

"We didn't expect why those elves were so enthusiastic today. Is it because Fred and I said Merry Christmas?"

Fred also unloaded the burden with Percy's help, moved his sore arms and said: "We just said we missed the noon banquet and said Merry Christmas, and then our eyes blurred, and it became like this."

"If we hadn't really lost it, I doubt they would have piled on two more roast chickens," George added.

Everyone placed the meals they had brought back and sat down one after another.

For a small queue of less than ten people, such dishes are even more sumptuous than a lunch banquet.

Tender roast turkey, fragrant Cornish pies and haggis, and Glenn’s favorite roast beef with Yorkshire pudding.

There are also various desserts such as sponge pudding, cream sponge cake, Christmas pudding and Victoria sponge cake.

Coupled with side snacks such as French fries and onion rings, the table is filled with a dazzling array of delicacies.

Everyone seemed to be in high spirits, eating happily and chatting casually.

"I'm still curious, how did you find the kitchen?" Penello picked up a piece of pie and couldn't help but ask.

Fred and George looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"We used a little help left by some pranksters." They said proudly, "There is a painting of fruit in the basement. As long as you scratch the pear lightly, it will laugh.

Then it becomes a doorknob."

"Is it so fun?" Qiu was somewhat moved and said to Glenn, "When Marietta comes back, can I go and see it too?"

Glenn smiled and nodded in agreement.

Morgana looked at the two people talking and laughing, and her expression darkened slightly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of crisp sounds were heard, and the twins pried open several bottles of butterbeer and handed them to everyone.

Charlie stood up like a grown-up, tapped the wine bottle with a spoon, and made a "ding~" sound.

Everyone looked at him with their butterbeers.

“To celebrate our fate and this wonderful Christmas, let’s raise a glass together!”

With a happy smile on his face, he raised the bottle of wine in his hand.

"cheers!"

Several people said one after another.

Glenn took a sip of wine from the bottle.

Speaking of which, this was his first taste. Old Tom at the Leaky Cauldron never sold alcoholic beverages to preschoolers under the age of eleven like him.

The sweetness of butter covers up the bitter taste of hops, but it is not as greasy as the name suggests, and it is even better than Glenn imagined.

Compared with Budweiser, Heineken and other Muggle beers are more than a step ahead.

"How is it? How does it taste?" Charlie put down the wine glass and looked at the few little wizards who were tasting butter beer for the first time.

Of course, Fred and George are not in this category.

"It tastes good!" Qiu smiled, her peach blossom eyes narrowed into beautiful crescent moons, "It tastes much better than I imagined!"

Penello looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

This smile was nothing, but it stunned Percy, who had been peeping at her, and his ears turned red again.

Glenn looked at him looking like an innocent little boy who had a crush on him, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Seeing that his brother was so hopeless, Charlie couldn't help but pat him quietly and said in a low voice.

"Why are you still dawdling? Everyone has called you over!"

"I..." Percy was so warped in his heart that even his earlobes turned red.

Morgana, who was lowering her head to eat, seemed to have heard Charlie's words. She subconsciously raised her head and noticed Percy's eyes looking straight at Penello with a look of surprise.

"If you like it, be brave enough to say it." She pushed him gently and whispered.

Percy seemed to have made a difficult decision, took two deep breaths, and spoke hesitantly.

"Um...Penello..." His tone was weak, like a gnat.

Penello was chatting with Qiu and didn't hear his voice at all.

Glenn couldn't help but remind her and pouted angrily in Percy's direction.

"Ah?" Penello turned her head in confusion and saw Percy, the top student with a red face and a thick neck, wringing his fingers and a "girly shy" look on his face.

"Are you sick?" Penello asked, with a hint of concern on his expression.

"No..." Percy was stunned, "I just... have something to tell you..."

"Just say what you have to say, why are you hesitating?"

Percy seemed to be struggling for a long time, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke.

"Penello...I...can you date me?"
