Chapter 661 Let's Fly! Fireworks
Chatting with classmates or something during dinner is a very common thing. Especially in Gryffindor College, most of the lion cubs are easy-going, and there is no distinction between high and low grades.
Alexander spoke up in such a way, coupled with some deliberate and active elements in it, he soon integrated into Harry's circle.
So, after dinner, Alexander, a freshman who had just made a fuss because of being punished, naturally mixed with Harry and the others. Although it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a good friend, it can be regarded as getting acquainted.
After Professor McGonagall read the words of encouragement as usual, everyone got up and prepared to go to the common room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked together as usual, seeming to be discussing something, while Neville habitually followed behind them, acting as his "little tail" as a matter of course Role.
However, the journey back to the Gryffindor common room seemed a little different today. Because it was rare, Neville didn't hang behind alone as his follower with a very weak sense of presence as in the past, but had an extra small companion.
"Excuse me... are you Mr. Longbottom?"
At this time, Alexander was naturally the one who approached. After Professor McGonagall announced that the dinner was over, Ens, who had been staring at this side not far away, found the right time to wink at him. Under somewhat contradictory psychological distress, Alexander finally bit the bullet and chased after him.
"Uh...ah, it's me." Neville hurriedly turned his head, looking at Alexander Road suddenly appearing from his side, "You can just call me Neville... What's the matter?"
His shyness obviously hasn't changed much, even when facing a junior student who is younger than him, he will inevitably shrink back. Maybe he can show his courage as a Gryffindor at a critical moment, but in normal times, he might not be able to survive for a lifetime.
"Oh, okay...Neville," Alexander mumbled with confusion, "I heard from others that your herbal medicine class is very good... If I have any questions, can I ask you for help? ?”
"This...well," Neville stammered, "Of course...I mean, if I can help. But I still suggest you to read more books, herbalism...well, I think it is more dependent on textbooks... ..."
"Is that so?" Alexander blinked his eyes, he was not good at deceiving people, and he spoke dryly, "Thank you for your suggestion... It's just that I just started learning, and I'm not familiar with the contents of the textbook... …You know, some problems are not easy for me to find."
Fortunately, Neville was obviously less used to this sudden chatter than he was,
It's even a little difficult to express, not to mention the stiffness in his tone.
"Oh..." Neville shook his head and nodded, "You're right...if you have any questions, you can come and ask me anytime. Hmm...but it's the same with others, I...my grades are very average ..."
"Oh, it's not likely!" Alexander said quickly, "Everyone says that your herbal medicine is very good, that... er, yes! Neville, do you know the growth environment of the devil's net? I just previewed it yesterday. Up to this point, but the book is not very clear..."
"Devil's net? Ah, the book only says 'dark and damp places', but they actually occasionally appear in some drier places. They are mainly afraid of light and high temperature. If the environment is drier, they sometimes appear It can also steal water from other plants and animals..."
If you want to talk about other things, Neville may not be able to answer them yet, but as for the question about herbalism, this is his forte. As soon as he talked about those interesting magical plants, his nerves relaxed, and the chatterbox immediately opened up.
Since Neville suddenly became talkative, Alexander, who couldn't get in the conversation, was relieved. He listened silently, and followed Neville slowly down the stairs all the way to the common room.
It wasn't until he was about to see the portrait of the Fat Lady that Alexander felt that it would be too late if he didn't interrupt Neville.
"...Oh! Neville, your knowledge of herbal medicine is really rich, and I have learned a lot." He hastily interjected, "Yes, thank you very much for answering this question for me... this..."
Alexander pretended to feel in his pocket, then dragged out a piece of chocolate that he had already prepared, and stuffed it directly into Neville's hand.
"I don't seem to have brought anything... This chocolate tastes pretty good, just take it as a thank you gift for helping me! Please...well, please accept it..."
It can be said that from dinner time, everything he did was for this moment. Therefore, he, who was not used to fooling people, suddenly became nervous. Although he tried to pass the chocolate to Neville pretending to be casual, and tried not to look at it, he couldn't help but finally said the obvious words "please accept it".
However, how could Neville, who was not vigilant against such things at all, notice these things?
"Oh...chocolate? Thank you..." Neville took the chocolate, without thinking about anything, he just peeled off the tin foil and stuffed it into his mouth, then mumbled, "If you have any questions, feel free to Come to me... oh, I only know herbs..."
Just as he was talking, Neville's eyes suddenly lit up, and he twisted his mouth and said, "Oh... this chocolate tastes really good, where did you buy it? Honeydukes?"
"Uh... I don't know too well, someone gave it to me," Alexander looked at him curiously, and then asked tentatively after a while, "Is it really delicious?"
"Of course," Neville said as if enjoying himself, "Well...I've never eaten such...so...oh, how should I put it? Anyway...this feeling is really cool!"
"yes?"
Alexander watched carefully with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to see something from Neville. It's a pity that he didn't see any other differences at all except that Neville's steps seemed much lighter and his face was full of energy.
"If the chocolate is indeed mixed with Felix Elixir, how will its effect be manifested..." He pondered secretly in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little hopeful.
While Alexander was still secretly thinking for a moment, the entrance to the Gryffindor common room arrived. The students in front had given the password to open the portrait of the Fat Lady, and everyone filed in together. Seeing that Neville was also walking forward with the crowd, he quickly took a few steps and followed closely.
The doorway hidden behind the fat lady's portrait is only that big, and the students have to go in one by one. Naturally, there is no rush. And just as Alexander followed Neville to the side of the portrait, he heard a noise coming from the common room.
"...Come and see this! Fred and George sent it to me this morning, saying that they have developed something new...Come on! Let's have a good time..."
At the dinner table before, the three of them, Alexander and Harry, had chatted for a while, so at this moment he recognized right away that it must be Ron's voice that suddenly quarreled. It's just that the tall Neville is still standing in front of him, so that he can't see the specific situation inside at all.
But at the next moment, Neville, who was walking in front of him, suddenly turned sideways and turned around in the doorway.
"Oh, Alexander... just now you mentioned the devil's net..."
Neville had just begun to speak, but Alexander was horrified to find that at the moment Neville turned around, a colorful bright spot quickly passed through the gap opened by Neville, and it became brighter and brighter in his eyes. The bigger it was, it finally hit his forehead with extraordinary precision.
"Aww"
While Alexander gasped in pain, accompanied by a series of "crackling" explosions, even though he subconsciously closed his eyes, there were still a lot of colorful lights lighting up his entire field of vision through his eyelids.
It was a firework. An unusually dazzling firework exploded in front of Alexander coincidentally. For a moment, the doorway was filled with sprayed fine fragments of light, which fell to the ground with a clatter.
Neville was attracted by the spot of light passing by him just now, and suddenly turned back to the common room to find the source, but he was not affected by it in the slightest.
It was only when he heard Alexander cry out in pain that he could barely react, and then turned around again to help Alexander, who was squatting down with his forehead covered.
"Oh, Alexander... are you... all right?"
Just as he was leaning down to help Alexander, the next point of light rushed out of the doorway from behind him, and after hitting the portrait on the opposite side of the corridor, another burst of fireworks exploded, scaring the man in the portrait like a dog The old man hurriedly jumped up with his head in his arms.
At the same time, there was a mess of noise in the common room, and the fireworks had completely occupied the entire Gryffindor common room.
Neville, who had just helped Alexander up, heard the chaotic yelling behind him, and a little bewildered expression appeared on his face. He did see the firework blooming in the corridor, but he obviously didn't fully understand what was going on.
When he turned around again and wanted to see what happened in the common room... the three light spots passed through the gap between him and the doorway one after another, bypassing them with a slight arc. He then hit the chest of Alexander who had just been lifted up without missing a beat.
Alexander, who was still clutching his forehead, couldn't react. This time, he didn't even have a chance to be surprised, and he was ruthlessly swallowed by the whole piece of fireworks...
