Winter has long passed, spring has arrived, and the snow around Hogwarts has completely melted away. The catastrophe that happened near this ice and snow castle not long ago was silently erased with all remaining traces, as if it was just a faded dream that belonged to Maka alone.
Of course, among the areas where wizards are active in this area, the end of snow only exists near Hogwarts Castle.
In places like Hogsmeade, which lives above the snow line all year round, the rate of melting of ice and snow is far less than the annual snowfall. Even though this village where only wizards live seems to have gotten a little warmer recently, it is still full of white at a glance.
Today is Valentine's Day, and every year on this day, Hogsmeade Day will be adjusted accordingly.
Since wizards and Muggles lived in isolation, the fertility rate in the wizarding world once dropped to a limit, and the average life span of wizards is usually longer than that of Muggles, so that some of the bad effects of the aging population are increasingly becoming Aggravated.
If it weren't for wizards and various kinds of magic spells, as well as numerous fertile and capable house elves to support basic production, the lack of production capacity alone might be enough to cause the entire closed magical society to collapse.
Therefore, in terms of the long-term development of the wizarding world in various countries, such as having more children... In principle, the Ministry of Magic is encouraging.
Although it is generally not stated explicitly, the advance arrangement of Hogsmeade Day on Valentine's Day probably has some meaning in promoting the interaction between boys and girls.
Well, that's what it says, but in the eyes of those diehards who follow the old-fashioned lineage theory, things like having a child early are absolutely undesirable. They believe that the excellence of bloodline and the purity of bloodline require more attention from each generation of wizards. Only by having children at the right age can the magic bloodline of wizards be better passed on.
However, let’s not mention whether quantity or quality is more important. At least today is a day for the young wizards at Hogwarts to take the opportunity to relax, so that can't be wrong.
Perhaps because the recent study life has been too busy, the male and female students this morning were in particularly high spirits. As soon as Filch, who was responsible for collecting signature slips, stood at the gate, there were already many young wizards in front of him. There was a long queue.
It is worth mentioning that the young man in the first position looks a bit familiar. His red hair is even sticking up, as if he came to guard him as soon as he got up.
"Ron Weasley."
No one needed any further urging. As soon as Professor McGonagall finished explaining the precautions, the boy at the head of the queue immediately announced his name and hurriedly handed Filch the parent opinion form he held in his hand. hands.
"Well, okay... yes, Weasley." Filch squinted and read the crumpled paper several times before waving his hand and saying in a routine manner, "Go and wait in the carriage outside. , or go by yourself...Next Next!"
"Thank you, thank you."
Ron muttered something random, then hurriedly passed Filch and headed towards the castle gate. After hearing this, Filch glanced at his back with an incomprehensible expression.
"Thanks?"
Just when Filch felt a little puzzled, a voice sounded in his ear, startling him.
"...Sir, this is my opinion sheet!"
"Huh? Oh... okay..." Filch looked back and quickly forgot all the doubts in his heart.
…
Ron, who had been waiting in the foyer for a long time, seemed very eager to go out, but as soon as he left the school, he stopped and waited at the door.
Not long after, the classmates who were behind him all passed by here one after another, and went to Hogsmeade together. Every time someone passed by Ron, they would look at him with a puzzled expression, as if they were confused by his unusual behavior of not taking the first step.
Ron seemed uncomfortable with this kind of gaze, and soon he involuntarily shrank behind the tree trunk on the roadside.
To be honest, he has been waiting here for a long time. But when he saw the figure appearing at the school gate from behind the tree, his whole body trembled violently and he couldn't even move.
"Do you really want to go?" He couldn't help but feel like retreating again.
However, maybe he was not completely ready, but the other party quickly discovered where he was. The next moment, I saw that figure running towards this side with fast speed and strong momentum.
"Oh - Luo Luo! My Luo Luo, are you waiting for me? I thought you left first... Really, oh, I'm sorry! I think I wronged you... Oh! My dear Luo Luo !”
It was a girl, a young girl in love who was so passionate that her whole body exuded a high aura.
"She was galloping towards me with great strides. She was getting closer... even closer! Should she stop? Should she... Oh, she rushed forward with her whole body!"
Ron's whole body was stiff as the girl threw him down on the grass. The fragrance of green grass mixed with the strong perfume poured straight into his nose, choking him and making him feel dazed.
"Oh - Luo Luo, you still smell so good! Luo Luo -"
The girl hugged him tightly and almost had a tendency to use him as her bed, putting her whole body weight on him.
"Merlin, I seem to be out of breath..." There were not many thoughts left in his head, and he could only make a simple and incomplete judgment, "This is so crazy... This is so crazy..."
At this moment, he felt a sudden lightness in his upper body, and his vision, which had been dimmed due to the feeling of suffocation, became bright again. He was panting heavily, his eyes staring blankly at the top, where there was a clear and peaceful blue sky.
But in the next second, the blue sky disappeared and was replaced by a round face.
"You... La, Lavender, what are you going to do?" he asked with a confused look on his face.
"Dear, have you forgotten again? You should call me 'Levin'—"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that face instantly enlarged in front of his eyes, and he was about to face him face to face.
"No, oh-no! Wait, stop-"
He quickly turned his head and covered his mouth with both hands.
"Dear, why!" The girl suddenly pursed her lips and said affectionately, "I think I can't wait any longer. You know, I have been waiting all night! My Luo Luo, we should kiss right away, I want you to feel how deep my love for you is!"
"No, I... no," he shook his head vigorously, "Well... I, I mean... By the way, this is not a suitable place for kissing. Someone will see it!"
"It doesn't matter at all!" the girl said nonchalantly, "Do you remember? You must still remember... The first time we kissed was in the hallway of the school, wasn't it? It was at the end of class that day that I made love for a full fifteen minutes I moved you, and you agreed to be with me—oh! How romantic that was! Let’s do it again!”
"Ten, fifteen points... Ahem, of course I didn't forget it. But..." He tried to calm down his head, but his hands were still covering his mouth, with no intention of putting it down, "Well... I am I want to say that today is a rare day, why don’t we enjoy it first... yes, enjoy the joy of Hogsmeade?"
"...and then kiss, right?" The girl immediately took over the conversation, but the topic came back to kissing again, "Dear Luo Luo, you are really a man who knows how to be romantic - brew first and then enjoy. That sounds wonderful!"
"Uh... yes, yes, that's it." In order to deal with the current situation first, he seemed not to care about anything else, "That's so romantic!"
"Yes!" The girl nodded, but she still straddled Ron's waist and had no intention of climbing down. "But dear Luo Luo, don't you think... there is nothing that can't be done between us?" Is all time spent kissing together a terrible waste?”
"I... uh, I think it's better to brew it... Yes, brewing is just like making wine. The longer it takes, the more fragrant it will be?"
He was talking for the time being, but he couldn't even figure out the reason why he was talking, so he could only say whatever came to his mind.
But just such a random sentence seemed to hit the girl's inner itch.
"Oh! My Luoluo-" Lavender sighed with her boring voice, "I can't believe that you actually know how to taste wine... You are really a mature gentleman! Yes, what you said makes sense, I Maybe I should endure it a little longer. Yes, I will try my best to endure it for my Luo Luo!"
Lavender said, finally retreating from him, still mumbling subtle arguments such as "the charm of men" and "the difference between tasting wine and tasting love".
"Well, okay!" After smoothing her clothes, she stretched out her hand towards her lover on the ground, "Luoluo, get up quickly! Although the weather is much warmer today, I have been lying on the ground for a long time. It’ll still be a little cold.”
"This is really... no, I need to cheer up. Today is an important day." Ron whispered to himself and encouraged himself again, "Well, let's... go?"
"Of course, Parvati is waiting for us in front!" Lavender nodded, but without hesitation, he hooked an arm around Ron's arm and pressed tightly against his side. "Where do you think we should go for a walk today? We have to come back after lunch, but there are still a lot of homework waiting for us to complete!"
As a "young couple", they were tired of being together and moved forward with crooked steps.
