The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

Baked beans with tomato sauce, red blood sausage, grilled mushrooms...

A good day starts with breakfast.

When Loren's stomach was full, he looked up again and saw that the industrious owl postman had finished delivering today's express delivery and letters, and was flapping his wings to return home one after another with the food given by the little wizards.

Hermione had a piece of bread in her mouth and a magazine in her hand, looking at it intently.

Loren leaned over and whispered the large title on the cover: "Transfiguration Today, Animagus special collection?"

Hermione put down the magazine, revealed her head with a piece of bread in her mouth from behind the page, and said happily: "It contains the latest research on Animagus by scholars and experts in recent decades, especially Professor McGonagall. The papers account for almost half.”

"I remembered, you mentioned this when we stole the mandrake blades, and said that it contained the answer to whether the time turner affected the Animagus ritual."

Loren nodded as he recalled it and asked, "How about it, does the time turner have an Animagus effect on it?"

"It has an impact, and the impact is huge..." Hermione lowered her head in frustration, then took a bite of bread and explained, "For the user, the time increased by using the time turner is real, not only It’s reflected in memory, but it’s also reflected in physiology.”

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that if I spend one more hour using the time turner, I will age by one hour. If I spend one more month with the time turner, I will age by one month." Hermione looked sad and looked very sad, " No wonder Professor McGonagall doesn't let me use it more, not only will it be dangerous, but it will also cause premature aging."

Loren felt his temples bulge a few times: "You are only 13 years old, so you can't use the word aging. It would be better to say growing -"

"This is even worse." Hermione whined even more sadly, "If I spend my precious puberty development and growth time during the day, it means less sleep, which will affect my height, intelligence... many aspects. It has an impact. No wonder Percy looks as tall as George and Fred..."

"..."

Percy was shot innocently.

Also, why didn’t you think so when you stayed up late before?

Seeing that the girl was so sad that she was about to cry, Loren suppressed his complaints, stroked her shoulder, and comforted her: "Then quit the divination class, and you won't need the time turner in the future."

"I don't!" Hermione took another bite of bread, "I have to wait until October 16th to see the result of Lavender's prophecy."

"..."

Loren silently withdrew his comforting hand, took a spoonful of mango pudding, and tasted it quietly.

After finishing the piece of bread, Hermione wiped her hands and looked at the table. She also wanted to get a piece of pudding, but the food she ate last night was still undigested and she couldn't finish the whole pudding.

So Hermione raised a spoon and took a spoonful of his mango pudding, pursed her lips, and looked at him with some regret: "Why isn't it strawberry flavor?"

Loren was silent.

Just do your best.

…

At night, Hermione walked towards the entrance of Gryffindor Tower by candlelight, still recalling the topic she had just discussed with Professor Bubbaji - the impact of transportation on social development.

"In Muggle society, transportation is the embodiment of productivity, and transportation speed affects the speed of development to a certain extent..."

"But wizards have Floo powder, flying broomsticks, and Apparition... The transportation problem has been solved a long time ago, but the production method still feels very primitive."

The little witch muttered some unintelligible words. The portraits in the corridor occasionally heard a few words, but found them difficult to understand.

Arriving at the Portrait Cave unknowingly, the Fat Lady woke up from her nap and asked: "Password?"

"Transportation...modes of production...social development..." Hermione had not recovered yet, muttering strange words in her mouth.

The fat lady felt a pain in her head and screamed: "Password!"

"Lucky stars are shining," Hermione finally recovered and replied.

The portrait popped open, and Hermione crawled into the common room through the hole. It was full of young wizards who were excited on weekend nights, chattering together, playing cards, playing chess, and making fire and playing games beside them. Bad idea, a lively atmosphere.

Hermione saw Loren in the corner without much effort. He was lying on the single sofa, holding the special issue of "Transfiguration Today" in his hand.

"...Special thanks to Ms. Minerva McGonagall for her strong support of this magazine..."

Loren turned the last page and saw his professor's name among the two full pages of acknowledgments. He smiled and read it in a low voice.

Suddenly there was a slight vibration next to him, and someone pushed his arm away and sat on the armrest of the single sofa.

Smelling the familiar fragrance, Loren knew who it was without looking back: "Transformation is related to the magic of the moon phase; the key point of the Animagus is the transformation of the familiar body and the control of animal nature; the same type of Anima There is a connection between Guts’s transformation process... Professor McGonagall has proposed more things than those old academics have explored in the past few decades. Tsk, Professor McGonagall is in the limelight."

"What are you talking about? Professor McGonagall doesn't care about the limelight." Hermione smiled and pushed him, "And the old scholars have also put forward many groundbreaking ideas -"

Hermione pushed one of his hands away and flipped to the front according to the footer of the page: "Look here, this expert proposed that Animagus has a strong connection with the image of the Patronus. This is the first transformation. Very helpful.”

Loren frowned and thought: "So, our Animagus transforms into killer whales and dolphins. Wouldn't that be terrible? We can only move in the sea, which is not convenient at all."

The advantage of Animagus is that animals are more agile than wizards and are easier to hide in some scenes, similar to Sirius's black dog, Peter Pettigrew's mice, and even Professor McGonagall's cats.

If you switch to aquatic animals such as killer whales and dolphins, there is no convenience and no hiding. If you don't do it well, you'll be stranded, which will have all negative consequences.

Hermione smiled: "Didn't it say it in the paper? It's just related, not 100%."

"I can't speak properly for a month, I can't eat properly, and I have to insist on reciting spells at my heart at sunrise and sunset..." Loren muttered in a low voice, "Suddenly it feels like practicing Animagus is not worthwhile."

Hermione's sly eyes rolled around, she took out a package of Bibby's Strange Flavored Beans from the pendant, and opened the package in front of Loren.

"are you hungry?"

Hermione nodded: "Well, I didn't eat much for dinner."

"I also want."

It's exactly what I thought... Hermione secretly smiled, but her face remained calm: "Open your mouth."

"Ah——" Loren opened his mouth happily and waited to be fed.

A piece of ice-cold stuff was suddenly stuffed into his mouth. It was a little slippery, and the fragrance of grass leaves made Loren a little confused.

Her white and soft little hands came up. Hermione held his head with one hand and covered his mouth with the other: "No spitting, no chewing."

"Ugh! Uh-huh!"

"It's not a sneak attack, it's not a sneak attack." Hermione patted his head as if comforting a cat, and coaxed softly, "It's just to ask you to learn Animagus."

"Uh-huh!"

"Yes, yes, I am evil."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"It's too long and I can't understand it."

"..."

After Loren got used to the mandrake leaves in his mouth, Hermione let go of her little hand and grabbed a few Bibi's multi-flavor beans and fed them to him.

There were leaves in his mouth, which were not easy to chew. Loren sipped the flavor of the multi-flavor beans: "The full moon has passed, and there is no use holding mandrake in your mouth from today on."

"Practice in advance and accumulate experience."

"Then why don't you practice?"

"The time turner will affect the magic of the mandrake." Hermione explained with a serious face, "I think you will definitely fail. Practice in advance, and then we will officially start together on the next full moon."

"You-" Loren wanted to scold her with his eyes fiercely, but he was fed a few more multi-flavor beans, which prevented his expression from becoming fierce.

"I won't do it. It's not fair." Loren sipped the multi-flavored beans. "If I persist this month, and then count the next month, then I don't have to suck it for two months."

Hermione was in the wrong and couldn't refute, so she just silently fed him multi-flavor beans.

The jelly bean cannonballs came over. Loren took the jelly beans and returned the cannonballs: "It's not impossible for me to practice, but I have to impose conditions."

"You tell me." Hermione continued to feed her multi-flavored beans without even eating.

"Every day you persist, you have to give me a kiss."

"ah!"

It was inevitable to touch his lips when feeding the jelly beans. She hadn't noticed it before. When he said this condition, Hermione suddenly felt that her fingers were burned as if she had touched the flint in the fireplace.

The girl secretly glanced at the man's lips, which were a little red from eating sweets. Hermione felt her heart skip a few beats as she recalled her mother's reply in her mind.

"...My lovely daughter, the throbbing of youth is one of the most beautiful scenery in life. There is no need to escape, let alone panic... I believe you can grasp the balance."

Balance, balance.

Hermione blushed, shook her head and whispered, "No."

"Once a week?"

Hermione's eyes widened a bit, and she felt herself starting to waver, but after thinking about it, she shook her head.

"Then, once a month?"

Hermione felt her heart beating unsatisfactorily. She opened her mouth, but her words of rejection were blocked by another thought.

Finally, the girl said "Hmm" in a vague, thin voice.

Loren was jumping for joy in his heart, but he did not continue to stimulate the little witch. Instead, he pretended to be serious and took a few jelly beans into his mouth, then opened the magazine and started reading.

A certain doctor was right when he said that many people always like to be harmonious and compromise in temperament. If you say that this room is too dark and a window must be opened here, it will definitely not be allowed. But if you advocate removing the roof, she will mediate and be willing to open the windows.

In the corner of the busy common room on a weekend night, a boy looked intently at the overturned magazine without blinking. The girl next to her was holding a bag of multi-flavor beans, and from time to time she would raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a silly but hidden smile.

There may be more than one person who wants to tear down the roof.

…

After entering October, the weather is getting colder, the rain is increasing, and the nights are getting darker, but the mud, strong winds and heavy rain cannot destroy Wood's determination to lead Gryffindor to win the Silver Light in his graduation year. The big shiny Quidditch trophy.

That evening, after training, the players of the Gryffindor Quidditch team dragged their tired bodies to the common room.

Although they had changed their clothes in the locker room of the stadium, the players' bodies were still wrapped in a biting chill. The team's captain and goalkeeper, Oliver Wood, was doing some mental building work for the players:

"We know that we are the best and best team in the school..."

Fred shouted: "Yes! We have three of the best chasers!"

Aaliyah Spinnett and Katie Bell smiled shyly, and Angelina Johnson gave him an elbow, warning him not to act weird.

Fred was temporarily suppressed, and George stood up: "There are also croaking seekers and goalkeepers!"

Harry also smiled shyly.

At this moment, George and Fred said in unison: "It's your turn, brag about your invincible hitter."

Their unabashed narcissism made everyone laugh and praise them in agreement, causing George and Fred to pretend to blush and look embarrassed.

Wood was also laughing, and when the laughter slowly subsided, he continued: "Please help me, I must win the Quidditch Cup. This is our - this is my last chance.

"I'm leaving at the end of this school year, and I'll never get another chance... So, although you are facing the O.W.L.s exams, I still want to say - please!"

There was a kind of determination in Wood's suppressed tone, and he spoke so tragically that Fred and George were also moved.

"We'll make it, Oliver!"

"It will definitely work!"

Standing in front of the portrait hole, everyone in the team made an agreement.

Entering the common room, Harry found that the common room was buzzing and lively with waves of warm heat emitting from the burning fireplace.

Harry found a few friends at the old location and asked, "What happened?"

No one answered him. Loren and Hermione were finishing two star charts for the astronomy class. Ron, who was sitting opposite, was holding a notebook in his hand with a serious expression.

Harry sat on a chair next to Ron and stretched his head to read the contents of his notebook: "What's the secret to learning the Patronus Charm?"

As if he was frightened, Ron closed his notebook and stared at Harry warily.

Harry asked in surprise: "Why can't you show it to me?"

"Professor Lupin's club is about to start, and he is going to teach us the Patronus Charm." Ron pointed to a notice posted on the tattered bulletin board, "It's this Friday."

It seems like this has been mentioned before.

Harry scratched his head: "What does this have to do with me not being able to read your notes?"

"Of course! Loren and Hermione have already learned the Patronus Charm. You have taken a few more classes than me, and I don't want to be the last one to learn it." Ron straightened his back and said proudly, "So I want to sneak away!"

Harry was speechless: "You asked Loren and Hermione for the notes. I can also ask them for advice."

"No!" Ron said anxiously.

Harry and Ron looked at Loren and Hermione across from each other, and then realized that something was wrong with these two people, they looked strange.
