Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

"Mom, here you are."

"Astoria is a good girl." Meseles said seriously, "I will not allow you to bully her."

"Who is your biological child?"

Louis was a little innocent, but he had never thought of it that way.

"Mrs. Lestrange, this is what happened."

Ginny looked at the conversation between the two of them and it was a bit funny, so she couldn't help but explain from the sidelines.

"Hahahahahaha."

Meseles burst out laughing when she heard this. Her laughter attracted the attention of many students, but soon she gestured for them to continue to turn their attention back to the Bowtruckle.

"Sorry, sorry." She laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up and could only use one hand to hold on to the tree next to her.

"Mom, please pay attention to your image." Louis looked at her and shook his head, "How old are you, and you are still so grandiose, and you are still a professor."

"You brat, did you say that about me?"

Meseles rolled her eyes at him and secretly cursed this "unsatisfactory" son.

"I have a way, you just have to look at me."

Louis and Ginny looked at each other, wondering what she was planning.

Meiselis walked among the students and clapped her hands at them.

"Everyone, pay attention."

"I found that there is a very serious problem among you. You don't seem to understand what the Sorting Hat said yesterday."

The Slytherin and Gryffindor students stopped what they were doing, and all the Bowtruckles ran back into the tree hole, curiously poking out their little heads.

"May I ask, Professor Lestrange, what do you mean?"

"Humph, none of you are listening well." Meseles pretended to be angry. She put her hands on her waist and pointed at the students.

"The Sorting Hat said yesterday that students from our several colleges must unite, but you don't look like you are united now."

The students all looked at each other and saw that the people in their group were all students from the same college.

"Let's do this, I will divide you into groups. All Slytherin students must be grouped with Gryffindor students, and the same applies to Gryffindor students."

Ah, this, this is an almost impossible scene. Everyone knows that Gryffindor students and Slytherin are not good at dealing with each other, and now Meiselis actually puts them in the same group.

Reluctance appeared on many students' faces, and some Gryffindor girls even took a step back unconsciously.

"Don't explain to me, I know what's going on in your little heads." Meiselis seemed to have already thought of the words.

"If this is a life-or-death moment for Hogwarts, can't you put aside your prejudices against each other?"

Maybe they were attracted by the cute Bowtruckle, or maybe it was Meselis's words. In short, after more than ten minutes, several students did what Meselis said.

Naturally, Astoria was assigned to a group with Louis, but the girl still didn't say a word.

Messelis specially arranged the two of them to the lake far away from the students, where it was almost quiet and undisturbed.

Louis dragged a heavy iron bucket of woodworms, which was the Bowtruckles' favorite food. The little guy among the trees by the lake carefully poked his little head out.

"The earthworms are poisonous, you have to be careful..."

"oops!"

Although Louis reminded her in time, Astoria's hand was still bitten by the round insect.

He quickly took out the soap from the fourth-dimensional eternity stone, soaked it in the lake, and carefully wiped it on Astoria's little hands.

"Pfft!"

Seeing the anxious look on the boy in front of her, Astoria, who had a straight face, couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

"You know a lot, Louis."

The girl's happy face gradually came into the young man's eyes, and he didn't feel anything wrong with her little hand being held by him.

"You...are not angry with me anymore?"

"You idiot!" Astoria stuck out her tongue at him, "Who is angry with you? I just don't want to talk to you."

If you don’t want to talk to me, aren’t you just angry with me? Louis scratched his head. Sometimes he simply didn’t understand the attitudes contained in those girls’ words.

"Okay, it was my fault yesterday. Then I thought about it and I really shouldn't have done this to you." Astoria sat next to Louis, their hands intertwined.

"You're right. Although that old woman Umbridge is hateful, we really can't be so impulsive."

This was the first time Louise heard Astoria use the word "old woman" to describe a Hogwarts professor, which shows how bad this guy was in her mind.

"It's okay, it's all over."

He held her little hand tightly with one hand, and the other hand had already climbed onto her shoulder, holding her whole body in his arms.

Astoria did not resist. She seemed to enjoy the process. The sun shone on the sparkling lake, and the Bowtruckle seemed to be a shining light bulb. It was cautiously testing it, as if it wanted to

Rely on your own ability to reach the bucket of worms.

She slowly closed her eyes, immersed in Louis' body temperature, and in her ears, the boy's lifelong vows came.

"I said and I promised you that I will protect you forever."

...

Louis and Astoria finally reconciled, and they were not surprised until Meseles, who was smiling but not smiling, came over to remind them that the Care of Magical Creatures class was over.

She hurriedly got up from Louis, her face was as red as an apple with shame, she straightened her somewhat messy hair and clothes, and ran towards the castle without looking back.

Looking at Astoria's leaving figure, Louis couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Although the two of them had experienced many things together, until now, they still have a relationship that is more than friends.

Last year, Louis expressed his feelings to Astoria, but at that time it was more about the Christmas ball, and he did not get a definite answer from the other party.

Of course, Louis doesn't think that Astoria will fall in love with someone else, but so far, the two of them have not broken through that layer of paper.

Although this lesson was successful for both of them with the help of Meserys, it was a pain for Ginny Weasley and Colin Creevey.

Ginny matched with a Slytherin student with greasy hair, who smelled like he hadn't showered in a long time. Colin was even worse. Others were in pairs of the opposite sex, but when it came to Colin, he was a

A chatty boy, but judging from his accent, he should be a student of Durmstrang.

While feeding the Bowtruckle, he endured the other's beeping. Sometimes when he couldn't understand, he would pull Colin to guide him in pronunciation, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

But what was even more uncomfortable was that when Louis returned to the Gryffindor common room, he saw Harry with an angry look on his face. Hermione and Ron were both beside him. The atmosphere in the common room was extremely strange.
