"prom?"
Hermione squatted on the ground with dragon leather gloves to handle the herbal leaves containing hallucinogenic toxins on the surface, and heard the question Asia asked her.
"I don't know how the professors in your castle arranged on Christmas Day, but based on what your headmaster is doing to us, shouldn't we be banned from entering the castle?"
Acia shook her head.
"I don't know, but Professor Greengrass has announced the ball, and told everyone that the students will spend the Christmas holidays in the castle this year, which means that the ball must still be held normally, and there is no Reason will keep you out."
Hermione didn't care much about this.
"If there is, there will be, if there is no, there will be nothing. Even if this dance is held, it is just to maintain some things on the scene, and it will not have any impact on the result of the game."
"You should have already got the news." Asia blinked at Hermione, "Did someone invite Hermione to be a dance partner?"
Hermione said casually without any change on her face.
"not at all."
"But Hermione is so beautiful and such a nice person, she should be very popular."
"Probably everyone has never thought about this." Hermione said, "Because we have been in exile before, that is, running for our lives, everyone wants to learn and strengthen ourselves, and return to the original Belonging to our home, getting to know our family, a prom that has never been held in school."
"Then what kind of entertainment do you have?" Asia asked curiously.
"Well, we once held a fishing competition. Justin, a classmate at the same level as me, also caught a mermaid. Unfortunately, he didn't count the weight of the mermaid in his catch in the end. As a result, he didn't win the championship again. Two-time fishing tournament champion."
Acia was obviously not interested in fishing. She seemed to have thought of something, and she lowered her head slightly, with a faint blush on her white cheeks, and her normal communication voice became extremely thin.
"Then, if Hermione doesn't have a dancing partner at that time, it's better, it's better."
Her voice was so low that Hermione, who was concentrating on processing the herbs, couldn't hear her clearly.
"Not as good as what?"
In the end, Asia still couldn't say what she wanted to say. She lowered her head and looked a little lonely.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something."
Hermione didn't seem to be aware of Asia's emotional changes. She packed up the herbs in her hand, tilted her head and thought of something.
"I remember seeing related records, it seems that every Christmas ball of the Triwizard Tournament, the warriors selected from each school must appear as the opening lead dancer, right?"
"Yes, the young master of the Malfoy family heard that he invited the young lady of the Parkinson family, and the warrior of the Lestrange family also got close to a pure-blood lady surnamed Selwyn recently."
Hermione wasn't really interested in what kind of dance partners those pure-blood students would choose. She just showed an imperceptible smile at the corner of her mouth, as if thinking of something interesting.
"Jon is learning to dance with Professor Rozier recently. I heard him complain many times that this kind of study is very tortured. He actually doesn't want to participate in any dances at all, but he has to learn for some things."
Acia asked with some doubts.
"Who is Mr. Green's partner?"
"He hasn't found a date yet."
"Why didn't you find it? Is it because there are too many objects to choose from, so are you still hesitating?"
"Contrary to what you think, I guess, he must still be worrying about who he should ask to dance with."
Asia didn't understand this very much. If she was in Hogwarts Castle, let alone Jon's great achievements and fame, as far as Asia knew, there were actually many mixed-race girls around her who were secretly dating pure-bloods. The boys in the school have private and intimate relationships. This is not necessarily for the sake of climbing high, but because the castle has been exaggerating the theory of noble blood all day long, so many students really agree with this from the bottom of their hearts.
With a certain degree of Muqiang mentality, the girls in the mixed-blood college will subconsciously think that pure-blood boys are better, even if according to the rules set by their principal, mixed-blood and pure-blood cannot intermarry, then this will also give future benefits. Makes for a great memory, doesn't it?
So, according to Asia's understanding, with Jon's current status and prestige on Dumbledore's side, even if he didn't hug him left and right, he should have had many girlfriends and be very popular with the opposite sex.
Hermione didn't explain much about this. Although they both use the name of Hogwarts, the situation on the two sides is completely different.
Based on what Asia has seen in the six years of schooling in the castle, she certainly does not understand how the students in the carriage get along with each other.
Asia doesn't spend very long time with Hermione every time, even if she cherishes her friendship with Hermione, she also knows that if someone in the castle discovers their relationship, then It must be an extremely tragic ending.
After returning to the castle, she lowered her head all the time, like a frightened rabbit, cowardly avoiding everyone and things around her.
But there are some things that she can't avoid if she wants to.
Walking on the stairs, just as Asia was returning to her dormitory, a tall boy with brown curly hair suddenly stopped her way with a smile on his face.
"Good afternoon, Asia."
Hearing this boy's voice, Asia's body was obviously a little stiff. She tried to open her mouth, trying to stop the boy's intimacy from directly calling out her name, but in the end, these words still did not come out.
She didn't respond, she still lowered her head, and was blocked by the boy.
The smile on the face of the boy surnamed Flint became softer and softer. He seemed to be showing off his infatuated character, and wanted to hold Asia's hand, but this time she mustered up the courage to hide him. .
"You know, I told you about Asia, Freud was just a marriage arranged for me by my family. In fact, I have no relationship with her at all. The person I really like is you, and you are the one who fascinates me. I couldn't contain myself the first time I saw you."
Acia was terrified, she huddled against the wall and said in a trembling voice.
"School, Mr. Principal said that pure blood and mixed blood cannot be combined"
"Of course Mr. Principal is right, but love is also great. As long as we really love each other, it doesn't matter if we don't get married and become a couple in name, right? Don't worry, Asia, after graduating from Hogwarts, I will Arrange for you, and you don't have to worry about Freud, she is also a pure blood, but after all, she is only a new school pure blood, now she is troubling you at school, I can't get involved, she won't know what happened to us in the future. "
Flint said in a soft voice, but such words not only failed to make Asia feel at ease, but even made her feel sick.
As if he likes Asia, Asia must also like him, that is not a great love at all, but just his own despicable wishful thinking, wishful thinking that cannot be rejected by taking advantage of his status.
Asia has no chance of rejection at all. The mixed-blood class seems to be no different from the previous life, but that is because the vast majority of pure-bloods can maintain their so-called nominal arrogance and pride of pure-bloods. abusing their powers.
Once the pure blood wants to tear away this illusion, the persecuted mixed blood has no room to resist at all. It is not easy for Asia to persist for so long.
"Remember, no matter who asks you to be your dance partner, don't agree. I can't dance with you on the day of the ball. It will make the classmates around me laugh at me, but after the ball, we can dance in the garden outside the castle. Get together for a while alone, at that time we can reveal our sincerity to each other and imagine the future, don’t you think so?”
Flint approached Asia with a smile on his face. He intoxicatedly sniffed the fragrance lingering in the pale golden hair, and then turned around and walked towards the first floor without further entanglement here.
Even though he had already left, Asia's complexion hadn't returned to normal. She was pale and stunned in place, not knowing how to deal with Flint's "invitation" at that time.
Flint's family has a huge industry in the British Ministry of Magic, and Asia's parents are both employees of his magic company.
Therefore, as the sole heir of the Flint family, it is not easy for him to handle Asia.
While Asia was standing still, the movement from the stairs above her head suddenly woke her up. She looked up, and then saw Freud's extremely cold and hideous face.
In an instant, Asia felt chills all over her body, and her entire face was so pale that it was bloodless.
"No. Miss Floyd, I don't"
Floyd didn't give her any chance to explain at all, his expression seemed to have determined that Asia was a dead person, and he turned his head and left here immediately.
Acia could only put down her hand in a daze. She leaned against the wall and slid slowly on the stairs. In the end, only her crying covered in indifference and darkness came to mind.
“I always enjoy being here.”
After dinner, Jon invited Hermione to sit in the driver's seat in front of the carriage for a while.
"The first time I came here to meet Hagrid, there were golden wheat fields everywhere, and before the thestrals' hooves trampled on the ears of wheat, they automatically parted ways to let us Tong Tong, the scenery is really unforgettable in this life. At that time, I asked Hagrid whether our trip had an end, but I didn’t expect that we had reached the end in only three years.”
The cold wind in winter is very cold, but there is no way to blow through the magic cast on the driver's seat of the carriage, so Jon and Hermione, who are sitting here watching the heavy snow, don't feel the slightest chill.
"No matter how heavy the snow is, there will always be a day when it will end, right?" Hermione said softly.
"Of course, not only that, after the rain and snow, the world will become better than before."
Jon picked up the teapot Hagrid left here, and poured himself and Hermione a cup of moderately warm black tea.
"Did you have a good relationship with that girl named Asia?"
Hermione was holding the steaming teacup, and the red and yellow scarf wrapped around her neck made her face look so delicate.
"From her, I learned that the mixed-race students who I always thought were superior, actually live in the castle not very well."
"Because pure-bloods control absolute power, even if they are not degraded to slaves, how they live depends on the self-consciousness and moral cultivation of pure-blood wizards. Instead of believing this, it is better to imagine those who were cut off in the Tower of London. The Winged Raven will surely keep Britain safe and secure."
Hermione was amused by Jon's analogy, she said as she swayed her calf.
"After we regain the castle, can we go to school here?"
"It depends on what the professor means. I guess we still need to see the specific situation at the time. If we just take back the castle and England is still in the hands of the Dark Lord, then that won't work."
“Hope we haven’t graduated from school by then.”
"Of course not, to be honest, I kind of want to have lunch in the Hogwarts auditorium."
"I heard that the starry sky is very beautiful."
"You haven't seen it yet?"
"No."
"In fact, there is such a good opportunity this time. Well, you know that there will be a dance in the castle at Christmas. If you want to see the starry sky with your own eyes, that night must be a good time. Of course, I happen to be short of a dance partner, if you don’t mind, then you can visit the starry sky in the name of my dance partner, and you don’t need to do anything, just dance with me at the beginning.”
He rambled on a lot, and Hermione just turned to look at him with a smile after he spoke.
The white water mist rising from the teacup made her smile hazy as if it was reflected by the lake water. It felt a little untouchable, but close at hand, just like the starry sky above their heads.
She seemed to have thought about it seriously, and then nodded in thought
"Sounds and feels good."
