Chapter 1726 A war without a winner (one hundred and seventy-six)

A loud "crack" broke the silence of the Gryffindor common room. Fortunately, no students stayed at Hogwarts for the winter vacation this year, so there was no need to worry about the sound of the house elf's Apparition accidentally disturbing other students. rest.

The common room was dark, and there was an inexplicable chill in the air.

Hermione subconsciously stretched out her hand and pulled the cloak around her body, wrapping herself more tightly before taking out her wand and chanting a glowing spell. She looked around with the faint light from the tip of the wand and smiled kindly at the house elf beside her: " Thank you Dobby, I'll do it myself."

"Do you really not need Dobby's help?" the house elf asked worriedly.

"No need, I can handle my own affairs by myself." Hermione said gently, "You have a lot of things to do yourself, don't you?"

"Well, good night Miss Hermione, I wish you a sweet dream."

The house elf bowed slightly to Hermione before apparating away.

"alright……"

Hermione muttered and used magic to levitate the suitcase at her feet. After sending it back to her dormitory, she used the light from the tip of her wand to look at the gloomy dormitory and the cold bed, and then used the Disguise Charm to turn her body around. Hidden, then left the Gryffindor common room directly, and went to Albert's office amidst the Fat Lady's startled shouts.

Hermione needs to leave Hogwarts through the Floo network there, and then use the time turner with Albert to go back a few hours to attend the Christmas party on the other side of the manor.

Looking at Albert who was solemnly putting away the time turner, Hermione said softly: "The time turner is indeed very useful, but it is a bit dangerous."

"Let's go."

Albert smiled and took Hermione's hand, and after Isobel took his wrist, he directly led the two of them to apparate to the outer paths of the manor.

"Everyone is waiting for you."

When Albert opened the door and walked into the manor, he saw a figure wearing a white silk dress walking towards this side, taking the initiative to send his greetings to everyone.

"Good evening Louise, your dress is beautiful." Albert gave the other party a hug.

Compared to the bustle of Avalon, the Christmas banquet in the manor villa seemed much warmer. All the girls sat down like a family reunion, chatting about trivial matters while enjoying the large amounts of food on the table.

Fortunately, Albert, Isobel and Hermione hadn't eaten much before, otherwise they might have had to worry about the food on their plates.

What made Albert feel most helpless was that the girls somehow rushed to feed him first, which made Albert feel a little stuffed.

In the end, if Isobel, who was watching the fun, hadn't reminded everyone that there would be entertainment tonight, it might have ended badly.

"I didn't expect that there is such a magical thing as a time turner?"

Catherine couldn't help but sigh when she heard Isobel mention that the three of them had just attended a banquet in Avalon.

"Then we can get five more hours a day." Valeria was also interested in this.

“There’s no extra time, I’m just diverting time from the future to use.”

As a former Time Turner user, Hermione has a strong say in this regard.

"This means that life span will inevitably be shorter than before, and people will age prematurely. If it is not necessary, it is best not to use the time turner frequently, which is not good for the body."

"Actually, telling you this is against the rules for using a time turner." Albert realized that the girls still wanted to continue talking about this topic, so he put down the knife and fork in his hand and interrupted.

Sometimes eating too much at night is not a good thing.

The girls all realized that the topic was over, so they brought the topic to the gossip that everyone was interested in.

Hermione also took the opportunity to ask how everyone declined suitors.

It was not difficult to see that Ron's pursuit really gave Hermione a headache. She also felt that all the girls present were inexperienced in this kind of thing, so she wanted to hear how others solved it.

"It seems you have a difficult suitor."

Probably seeing Hermione's hesitation, Kathleen smiled and talked about her own method:

"The best way is not to give the other party any hope, and then gradually alienate the other party and stop seeing the other party. That's how it goes."

This is a relatively common approach and is not low in feasibility, but it is obviously not suitable to be used to kill Ron.

"How about you just slap that guy and wake him up. This is how I deal with those entangled guys." Valeria gave Hermione a bad idea.

"You can use memory magic to modify his thoughts." Louise smiled and said a method that surprised everyone.

"Let him realize that he has been rejected and has no chance. It is best to let him move on to other women."

Hermione heard this thoughtfully, seeming to be considering the feasibility of this approach. According to the information provided by Ginny, Lavender has been writing to Ron. If...

"If you really encounter a difficult guy, you can go to Albert for help." Yanila reminded Hermione with a smile.

In fact, the girls were very interested in Hermione's problems, but the latter obviously didn't intend to mention them more.

The dinner ended with everyone having a pleasant exchange. However, since eating was not suitable for exercise, everyone moved to the sun room to chat and enjoy the fruits prepared in advance.

Hermione also took the opportunity to whisper to Albert. Ron's incident did make her a little upset.

After all, if there is someone who pays close attention to you, it is easy for her to show her flaws.

"So, you want Ron to fall in love with Lavender again?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, Lavender seems to like Ron very much. They were together when they were in school...I think it would be a good idea if they can be brought together."

"There is no magic that can make one person fall in love with another person."

Albert didn't think he could do it. He could let Lavender keep writing to Ron. It was more because Lavender didn't want to give up on Ron deep in his heart. After being misled by Albert, he thought Ron You will definitely be moved by your persistence and change your mind.

After all, they had never been separated, and Ron hadn't found another girlfriend.

"I know that, but... maybe we can make Ron realize that Lavender is his girlfriend."

Hermione still wanted to get along with Ron and Lavender and make him realize that it is rare to have a girl who loves you very much in life.

"You can think about your ideas."

Albert did not deny Hermione's thoughts, because he did think so at first.

"Are you done talking?"

Isobel and the other girls came out of the sun room, not forgetting to greet Hermione before leaving, "It's time for us to change into our prom clothes."
