Chapter 552 The So-Called Fate

To be honest, our Gryffindor trio has been having a bit of a hard time lately.

Since Maca solved Voldemort's worries, the R.A. training meeting seemed a little loose. It turned out that they had quite a few members. Except for Slytherin, people from the other three colleges responded.

But now, once the crisis in front of them disappears, everyone seems to have lost motivation and goals, and gradually becomes lazy.

But in fact, we can't blame those members who are gradually coming in less, after all, the final exam is about to come, and there are so many things that even Harry feels that he can't keep up. And everyone knows that the activities of R.A. were not mandatory from the very beginning. This was born out of everyone's needs, and it is not unreasonable to say that it has its timeliness.

When Maca was in school, it was okay to have an excellent wizard of similar age to give him supplementary lessons or something, which would always make some motivated young wizards enjoy it.

However, after Maca temporarily asked for leave these days, the number of people who came to participate was significantly less than last time.

yes! Harry and the others also knew that Valentine's Day was approaching. Many boys and girls are preparing for that day. Those who should study more intensively, those who need to tidy up their outfits, and some even get together to discuss their confession plans. Besides, there are more and more homework every night, and everyone's life is very tight.

"You tell me, when will Maca come back?"

It was just after lunch, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron were all gathered in the common room, packing up their textbooks and preparing for the afternoon classes.

As usual, Hermione sorted things out quickly. She usually puts the whole day's textbooks in her big book bag, and there are even other books mixed in it. Some time ago, she actually started to consider whether to try the traceless stretching spell.

So, she just casually glanced at the timetable that she had already memorized in her heart, compared it with the one in her memory, and then started to do the after-school homework that most students only start to deal with at night.

Harry and Ron were just like ordinary little wizards. After lunch, they chatted to digest food, and enjoyed the rest time after an afternoon while they were busy.

"Who knows when he'll be back?" Ron shrugged. "If I ask you, those guys who took runes are probably praying for him to come back later—anyone who asks him to take a leave What about homework?"

When Harry heard it, he waved his hands quite indifferently.

"Hermione, does Maca leave a lot of homework? How many days?" He turned his head and asked Hermione who was lying on the table doing homework.

It's a pity that Hermione was probably calculating some formula, chanting words, and ignored Harry's inquiry.

"You'd better not ask Hermione such questions," Ron said in a low voice, "even if she answers you, you can't use it as a reference, can you? It's not like you don't know that when she gets any homework, she will Can hand it in the next day and use it as a reference answer for the professor!"

"Except for Defense Against the Dark Arts class..." Harry added feebly, rolling his eyes.

It used to be Potions class, but now it's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Any class taught by Snape would cause Gryffindors to complain.

But to be honest, although Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was full of dangers everywhere, everyone had to worry about it every time they went to class. But I have to say that he is really teaching with his heart.

At least compared to the potions class in the past, the big black bat is obviously more devoted now. During this period of time, Harry and the others could feel that their understanding of various black magic and dark creatures was getting deeper and deeper, and the methods to deal with them were being forcibly engraved into their heads one by one.

Even if these improvements were all obtained by fright, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to make people feel worthless.

Of course, hate is hate after all,

Snape's way of teaching was basically hard to like. Not to mention the little lions he has been targeting, even the little snakes next door have been tossed by him to the point of making a miserable face all day long.

After mentioning the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, both of them fell silent. This spring has always been like this, it seems that no matter what topic, as long as it is related to the defense class, it will become boring, and the interest in continuing to talk will completely disappear.

It took a few minutes before Ron changed the subject again.

"Harry, who do you plan to spend with on the 14th? Have you decided?" He thought for a while, then wrinkled his face and said, "When that day comes, I guess I'll have to stay with Lavender all the time... ...To be honest, I feel a headache when I see her now, and I don't know why I agreed to her at that time?"

"'With whom'? With my broom!" Harry sighed. "I'm going to go fly all day at the stadium that day, then finish my homework and go to bed early!"

"Hey, buddy, don't do this!" Ron persuaded first, then hesitated, "Let me tell you, Ginny seems to have officially broken up with that instant noodle guy recently-she won't let others talk about it Nothing, Lavender told me when he was free."

"Uh, Ginny?" Harry looked hesitant.

"What's the matter?" Ron said dissatisfiedly, "My sister is the best girl in the world. There is no girl as beautiful and smart as her in the whole of England! If I didn't know what kind of person you are, I don't know how to say that!"

"Oh, it's not—" Harry quickly shook his hand and said, "I know that the best little witch in the world must be right...but she treats me..."

"I won't talk about the past, I'll just ask you, do you have to start looking for girls who are interested in you?" Ron curled his lips and said, "The kind of girl who clings to you is not good. It’s not a good choice, look at me, I’m almost regretting it to death!”

The so-called "girls must know how to cherish themselves", Ron can be regarded as personally experiencing it now.

"It's not like you said," Harry struggled, "I just... um...how should I put it?"

"You're just shy!"

A voice suddenly sounded from the side, startling the two little boys who got together and worried about their love. They turned their heads quickly, only to realize that it was Hermione who spoke.

"Did you finish your homework?" Harry asked subconsciously.

"How can it be so fast!" Hermione said angrily, "This time Maca has left a lot of homework, and the difficulty is not small. It can be seen that he has also started to sort out the questions for O...."

In the middle of speaking, she paused again, and then put the subject of the course aside.

"...Don't talk about this, let's talk about the incident just now." Hermione moved the chair to this side again, and then frowned, "Harry, I think it's because you are embarrassed! Don't Rushing to deny it, don’t you just think that this kind of thing needs to pay attention to fate? But fate also needs to be taken on the initiative, just waiting can wait to come?”

"Eh?" Harry suddenly said, "Oh, yes, it's fate—"

"Come on!" Hermione interrupted him mercilessly, glaring at him and said, "Seriously, if you want to chase girls like you, girls will have to wait until their hair is gray!"

Harry was a little dumbfounded by Hermione's good training. He opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say. After thinking about it carefully, he really realized that what Hermione said was indeed correct.

In matters such as love, if boys don't know how to take the initiative, it will basically fail.

"Well, you're right." Harry was silent for a moment, but his expression was still a bit distressed, "But..."

Hermione tilted her head to look at him, and suddenly asked directly: "Harry, to be honest, what do you think of Ginny?"

Hearing Hermione mention his sister, Ron immediately cheered up and put his eyes on the face of his good buddy.

Although he felt that Harry was definitely worthy of his younger sister, he always felt a bit awkward when he was asked to match this pair. It's true, how can anyone send their baby sister out?

But it would be much more appropriate if the words came from Hermione's mouth.

"Of course, she's a very nice girl," Harry said sincerely. "As Ron said, she's pretty and smart, and she likes Quidditch very much! And... well... quite Pretty……"

"You said 'beautiful' twice!"

Ron couldn't help but interjected, only to get a stare from Hermione.

"If that's the case, what reason do you have for not chasing her? Hmm?" Hermione spread her hands, then pointed her finger in front of him, "It's only a few days away from Valentine's Day, before the fourteenth, We must find a way to ask her out, do you understand?"

"Do you understand?" Ron repeated from the sidelines.

To be honest, he had known that his precious little sister had a strong crush on Harry since Ginny hadn't even gone to school. For the twists and turns between the two, he who was caught in the middle was obviously anxious.

Now that Hermione took the initiative to bring this matter to light, he couldn't help but also heaved a sigh of relief.

"must?"

Under Hermione's tough tone, Harry felt as if he was tied to a speeding train, and he couldn't even struggle. Of course, maybe he also had a glimmer of expectation in his heart, but that expectation was buried so deep that he still didn't realize it.

"Sure!" Hermione nodded clearly, taking it for granted.

Before Harry could think about it for a while, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the Gryffindor common room. He looked around blankly, only to find that the lunch break had ended before he knew it.
