In our every day, the sunrise is always wonderful but short. It symbolizes vigorous vitality, which makes people want to pick up the energy to face a new day.
Corresponding to this, of course, is the exceptionally long and sloppy sunset. Compared with the sunrise, which speeds up the pace of your life, the sunset is like a rickety old man, enjoying the afterglow of the whole day with you under the dim afterglow.
After the little wizards at Hogwarts hurriedly spent this chaotic day, those who remained in Hogsmeade were bathed in the golden sunset, laughing and walking with each other. On the way back to school.
Logically speaking, there should be no fifth-grade and seventh-grade students among these groups. Because they will all face a major exam that can be said to be of a lifetime soon, and there is not much time to waste.
However, there are no absolutes in the world, and there are indeed a few fifth-year Hogwarts students in Hogsmeade who are not doing their jobs properly.
Harry, of course, is one of them.
In his mind at the moment, the top priority was to accompany Ginny to enjoy this beautiful dusk. In order to have enough confidence to stay in Hogsmeade, he had to spend a lot of effort to finish most of his homework ahead of schedule. . Well, yes, it's just most of it - if I go back later, I'm afraid I'll have to stay up late tonight.
"Harry, this sunset is so beautiful." Ginny walked gently beside Harry and let him hold her hand, feeling the warmth from his palm. When I came here, I thought I would never be able to enjoy such a beautiful sunset in my life!"
Harry turned his head when he heard the sound and quietly stared at Ginny's side face. Under the soft sunset light, the slender hair on her face reflected the light, and her side face was outlined with a golden outline.
"Yes!" Harry looked at her and said, "The so-called Dark Lord is indeed very scary. Although we all believed that we would be able to defeat him at that time, we also believed that it would definitely be a tragic showdown. Don't blame us. , even everyone in the Order of the Phoenix resisted with desperate determination. Who could have imagined that the final victory would come so suddenly... "
The two of them chatted casually while strolling through the streets of Hogsmeade, feeling the last warmth that today's sunshine brought to the world.
"Harry... tell me, is Neville okay now?"
…
Harry definitely didn't know whether Neville was good or not.
Just in the previous afternoon, Mr. Longbottom, who had been scolded by Lavender, told a truth that he had buried deep in his heart, which suddenly stimulated the hearts of the two girls at the same time. That sentence "I like Hannah" not only severely damaged Lavender's self-esteem, but also made Miss Hannah Abbott, who was standing by silently watching, tremble all over.
Speaking of which, Hannah and Neville are actually very similar - they are both the kind of people who are not good at words, shy, timid, forgetful and reckless, almost like a pair of long-lost twins. From this point of view, perhaps it is not so incredible that Neville would fall in love with Hannah.
But here's the key. After all, Neville has never expressed his love for Hannah. Now that Lavender has forced him out, the cowardly boy and girl naturally become more and more embarrassed.
After that, no matter what Lavender said, Neville never answered a word. He just lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, for fear of seeing the possible disgust on Hannah's face.
As for Hannah, she was even more embarrassed.
Her little face hidden between her long hair was all red, so red that it seemed like it was about to bleed. A pair of delicate hands were folded together, clasping the chest tightly for a while, and covering most of the face for a while. It seemed that they were doing well without running away on the spot.
In the end, Lavender, who kept harassing Neville, seemed to be tired of her troubles. Her mouth was dry when she talked, and she finally gave up her persistent questioning. She took her good sister Parvati and left the Three Broomsticks bar angrily. .
When Harry and Ginny left there together, they remembered that Neville and Hannah were the only two people left. As for whether the two boring gourds will develop further in the end, it depends on whether Neville can muster up his courage again - at least that's what Harry thinks.
Of course, if the future will be performed according to someone's expectations without deviation, then it is not a "future", but another person's "past".
Well, probably right now! Right now, in the Three Broomsticks pub, Hermione and Luna were walking down the stairs from the second floor. The content of their conversation today was not heard by anyone; as for some of the results of the conversation, no one knew.
Let’s not talk about what the pair of girls, who were standing together with a sense of incongruity, talked about. The most noteworthy thing now is Neville and Hannah, who were sitting on both sides of a small round table. .
Their expressions all looked strange: one put his hands between his knees, hunched his neck and stared at the table, as if he was trying to count the wood grains on the table; the other was holding a cup of hot drink, and the cup was The heat in the drink has long since dissipated, but not a single sip has been taken.
If you didn't know what happened between them, it would be hard to understand why they were so silent.
"Neville? And Miss Hannah Abbott of Hufflepuff House?"
The Three Broomsticks were already quite empty at this time. Hermione, who had just come down from the stairs, glanced casually in the store and spotted the two classmates who looked and looked very similar.
"What are they doing? Who has been silent for longer?" Luna next to her asked curiously.
Hermione shook her head speechlessly.
"Hermione, let's go quickly! I want to join them-"
Luna said, grabbing Hermione's arm and trying to pull her over with her, but she was staggered by Hermione who suddenly reacted.
"Hey, don't go there!" She whispered hurriedly, "I think they must have something to do, so let's not go there and cause trouble."
The innocent Luna may not be able to see the wonderful atmosphere there, but Hermione is so smart that she naturally realizes something about the situation very quickly.
"Eh?" Luna said with a look of regret, "How do you know? Maybe the winner will get a small gift... Is it true that I can't go?"
"No!" Hermione grabbed Luna's wrist angrily and walked straight to the door, "Stop making trouble, it's almost time, we should go back."
However, perhaps because the movement on their side was still too loud, Neville and Hannah quickly noticed their appearance.
"Well-"
Hannah's face suddenly turned red again. She glanced at Neville quickly, then stood up and ran towards the door in a hurry. It looked like she might want to escape here before Hermione and Luna.
When Hermione saw something was wrong, an idea flashed through her mind, and the next moment she started running without hesitation.
"Wait, Miss Abbott!"
Hannah is actually a member of RA, and it is probably for this reason that Neville has the opportunity to develop feelings for her. But with Hannah's personality, she really didn't have much presence in RA's previous trainings, so even Hermione didn't have a close relationship with her.
But even if the friendship is still shallow, even if she doesn't know much about the situation here, Hermione still wants to take care of this nosy matter. For a girl who would even blame herself for house elves, it was obvious how responsible she was, so how could she allow the situation to change in a bad way just because of her appearance
Yes, it was because of her and Luna's appearance that Hannah ran away - she could still see this.
"Oh! I... Miss Granger, please... please let me go..."
Hermione moved very quickly, and in terms of distance, she was closer to the bar door, so it was natural that she could intercept Hannah's footsteps.
"Sorry, I think I can't let go yet -" Hermione looked at her face and said seriously, "Miss Abbott, if I disturb you, please let me say sorry..."
"No, no... no interruption." Upon hearing this, Hannah immediately interrupted her with a blushing face, "You don't need to apologize, we didn't... nothing happened."
After hearing this, Hermione blinked slightly, and then glanced casually in Neville's direction.
As she expected, Neville was still standing next to his chair. He looked at this place from a distance, his face full of embarrassment and anxiety, but he refused to move another step.
Regarding Neville's temper, Hermione, who had been together since they first entered school, knew it very well. As a result, she had more speculations about what happened between Neville and Hannah.
"Miss Abbott, if you are willing, we can chat alone." Hermione retracted her gaze, lowered her head slightly, and whispered to Hannah, who was slightly shorter than herself, "Come on, please come over here. —Luna, please wait here."
"Oh... Okay?" Luna nodded dreamily, but her attention had already slipped to the kitten lying by the window.
On the other side, Neville was immediately discouraged when he saw that Hannah finally walked out of the bar with Hermione. He threw himself back onto the chair again and lay down weakly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Ron..." He put his face against the cold table and murmured listlessly, "I messed up everything you asked for. I'm really... really sorry."
Neville knew that what he really wanted to say wasn't actually sorry. But even while talking to himself, he still didn't have the courage to complain about his feelings for Hannah, and could only hide them deeper and deeper silently.
