Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1721 A War Without Winners (One Hundred and Seventy-one)

Not only was Miss Yanila worried about what dress to wear at the Christmas party in a few days, but Miss Granger, who had finished her dress in just a few days, was also staring at the dress she had sewed herself.

At the beginning, Hermione was really impulsive and designed this bold dress in front of her, but after calming down, she found that she was too bold before.

She might not dare to wear the dress in front of her now, and she might not need to spend time sewing this dress. She could go to a Muggle store to buy a bolder swimsuit, which would also be a good choice.

According to Isobel, that annoying woman named Valeria did it this way.

If the other party could do that, she could do it too, and she could do it better.

"Forget it!"

Hermione sighed lightly. She didn't want to do the same thing as that woman.

Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that she and the woman named Valeria were the same kind of stuff, which was undoubtedly something Hermione could not tolerate.

What qualifications did Valeria have to compare with herself?

After convincing herself in her heart, Hermione took off her home clothes and changed into a newly customized Christmas dress. After all, she still needed to experience it herself so that she could make timely modifications to the inappropriate parts. Fortunately, a slight adjustment only took a little time.

Then, Hermione contacted Albert. It was not that she wanted to wear it to Albert first, but she was going to ask him to help her return the borrowed suitcase to Isobel.

"If you want to attend the next Christmas party, it's better to go there in person and meet them."

Albert expressed his opinion after Hermione mentioned this again.

Of course, he knew that Hermione's relationship with other lovers was not very good, but sooner or later they would have to meet, and they should avoid the girls' awkward meeting later and ruin the Christmas party.

"Okay, you're right."

Hermione heard the meaning of Albert's words, nodded in agreement, and reached out to hug Albert, hoping that he would stay with her tonight.

"Shall we go together tomorrow?"

"Of course, no problem. I'll pick you up tomorrow." Albert knew what Hermione meant, but he really didn't plan to stay overnight.

It was not difficult for the latter to hear that Albert didn't plan to stay overnight. He curled his lips and didn't try to keep Albert. After agreeing on a time to meet tomorrow, Hermione put on her cloak and gave Albert a farewell kiss, and personally sent him off.

To be honest, if possible, Hermione didn't want to meet Albert's lovers. This came from the unpleasant first meeting, but she also knew that as Albert's lovers, both parties would meet sooner or later, and some things were always unavoidable.

For this reason, Hermione went to bed early after seeing Albert off. Then, she got up early the next day and spent a long time dressing up seriously, so that those annoying women wouldn't talk about her appearance again.

Of course, Hermione also wanted to give Albert a surprise, letting him know that her vision was not bad at all, and she was also a beautiful girl.

The next day, when Albert came to see Hermione on time, he was indeed amazed by her dress.

"You put on makeup?" Albert immediately guessed the reason,

"I want to give you a surprise, how about it, are you shocked?" Hermione almost put her face in front of Albert, letting him take a closer look at her appearance.

"I was really shocked, it's not like you before." Albert said with a smile, "In fact, you don't have to care too much about their words, and you don't have to force yourself if you don't like to dress up."

Albert naturally knew that Hermione didn't like to spend a lot of time on dressing up, and didn't care about such things, otherwise he would have reminded her earlier.

"Your lovers are so beautiful, I can't let them hold me back."

Hermione, who put on a thick cloak, reached out and hugged Albert's arm, letting him appear directly near the manor with Apparition.

It was dark outside, and goose-feather-like snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the surroundings were covered with white snow.

Albert took out his wand and waved it forward. Most of the snow under their feet disappeared instantly. A winding path stretched out from their feet and connected to the gate of the manor in front.

Hermione looked up at the manor at the end of the path and sighed softly: "Every time I come here, I feel that this place is exaggerated."

"I don't really like such a big place. Just maintaining the bright and beautiful appearance is a big project."

Albert walked towards the manor and said to Hermione with a smile, "If you like, I have a smaller one there. It is the house left by the Flamel couple when they settled in England. It has been abandoned for many years."

"You are really... rich!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at Albert. Although she was not interested in this, she was still very happy in her heart.

"But forget it. I live alone. Why do I need such a big house? It's a big trouble to take care of it."

Looking at the manor in sight, Hermione seemed to think of something.

It seems that the rumor that Albert came from an ancient wizard family is not groundless.

Only an old and wealthy family would be so generous as to use this manor as a bargaining chip to attract geniuses.

"Come in." Albert held Hermione's hand and said softly, "Everyone is waiting for us!"

"Yes!"

When Hermione was led by Albert's hand towards the manor, she suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction. Just now, she vaguely noticed that someone was staring at this side.

Right by a certain window, it must be Albert's lover. Hermione couldn't help but hold Albert's hand tightly.

When they approached the door, the door suddenly creaked open from the inside, and several girls were standing there waiting for their arrival.

"You seem to have more lovers."

Hermione's eyes swept across those familiar pretty faces, and finally fell on another equally young girl. She was very glad that she had dressed up carefully when she came here, otherwise how could she see the surprise and astonishment on Valeria's face now.

Hermione was secretly happy in her heart, but she still politely hugged Catherine who came up.

"We all thought you would come here before the Christmas party." Catherine enthusiastically pulled Hermione to the living room, while Valeria froze in place, staring blankly at the backs of the two leaving.

Albert patted Valeria on the shoulder and reminded her softly, "Let's go, don't stand here stupidly."

"The power of love is so great." Valeria looked back at Albert and couldn't help but sighed softly.

Louise looked at the backs of the two and said to Yanila meaningfully, "Girls always want to show their most beautiful side to the man they like."
