Chapter 272 The Boys' Conversation and the Forbidden Forest

At Hermione's insistence, Harry and Ron reluctantly sat beside her and began their research on the centaurs.

However, the two of them couldn't concentrate, always discussing the game in low voices.

Harry thought he could catch the Snitch faster, and he had a chance before.

Ron told him that he was being too polite to Cho Chang and that he was restrained early on.

Then, the topic of the two of them shifted from Quidditch to Qiu and the other girls, and when Hermione wasn't paying attention, Aiwen was brought into the discussion.

"All in all, that Ravenclaw Seeker is really good at flying, and she's probably the best of all the girls in the school." Ron covered himself with a book and whispered, "But compared to you, she As for the broomsticks used, there is no comparison, the Firebolt is the best, it is a world-class broomstick, and it is not popular even in professional leagues."

"Qiu Fei is great, I'm not much better than her." Harry said objectively, "If it wasn't for the Firebolt, I might not have won so easily today."

He smiled slightly, and the appearance of Qiu wearing the sky blue shirt appeared in his mind, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

"You're just too condescending to her because she's a girl!" Ron disagreed with Harry, "According to Wood, you're too gentlemanly."

"But..." Harry wanted to explain.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ai Wen, he also witnessed the whole process."

"If you want me to say, Qiufei is really good, the key is that she is also very beautiful." Aiwen said with a sense of understanding, "Harry, if you have a crush on her, you can try to ask her out. I heard Luna said that she doesn't have a boyfriend yet!"

"I don't think that way..." Harry argued vigorously.

His face was flushed and he looked unconvincing.

In fact, as Ai Wen said, he does have a crush on Qiu.

To be more precise, he may have fallen in love with each other. However, Harry is relatively slow in this area, has no experience at all, and he is not aware of this situation.

Now when he thinks of Qiu, he is purely excited and heartbroken.

As the topic deepened, Harry felt his face getting redder and redder. In order not to let Ivan and Ron laugh at him, he hurriedly shifted the topic to Hermione.

"Ivan, how are you and Hermione going?!" Harry lowered his voice behind Hermione's back, "To be honest, have you two ever done that kind of thing?"

"What's the matter?!" Ivan looked at him strangely.

"It's just..." Harry hesitated, then whispered, "Kiss!"

Hearing his words, Ron spurted out the sip of juice he just drank.

Coughing violently, he stood up from the sofa, almost knocking over the small round table because of too much force.

Hermione looked up at Ron's noise.

She squinted her eyes and stared at the three of them suspiciously, her eyes full of suspicion.

"You kissed Hermione?!" Ron said in surprise, he looked at Ivan hesitantly, then looked back at Hermione who was reading a book.

Before Ivan had time to explain, Harry continued to Ron, "On Christmas night, at the Leaky Cauldron, Ivan and Hermione went out alone. About 20 minutes later, Hermione herself blushed. The face came running back looking weird...."

Harry and Ron all looked at Ivan, their eyes full of inquiry.

"Well, it's not really a kiss." Ai Wen argued, "It was just a light touch under a Christmas tree in Diagon Alley."

Time seemed to stand still, his thoughts returned to that night, and his heart beat slightly faster.

Harry and Ron on the opposite side looked at Ivan in astonishment, their expressions even more exaggerated than his.

Harry looked completely stunned. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect Ivan to admit it readily. But he quickly recovered and became extremely excited, sincerely happy for Ivan and Hermione.

Ron was not yet immersed in the shock, he was brooding over the incident, and seemed to want to say something else.

Before he could get any further on the subject, Fred and George came over with butterbeers to toast.

They laughed happily, much to Hermione's dismay. She looked up irritably, and shooed them all away, telling Harry and Ron to leave and rejoin the party, so she could hurry up and concentrate on reading the remaining four hundred or so pages of the book at hand.

The carnival has been going on and there is no sign of stopping.

"Does he know what we are going to do later?!" Hermione whispered, she curled up on the sofa and stared at Sirius, "The Forbidden Forest at night is very dangerous, we should be prepared, not here Drinking orgy..."

Around ten o'clock in the evening, she suddenly put down the magic book in hand.

Hermione seemed to have made some kind of decision. She walked over and said a few words carefully to Sirius. Ivan saw that Sirius was full of apologies, as if he was apologizing to Hermione.

A few minutes later, Hermione walked straight back, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Get ready to go, Alvin!" she whispered.

Hermione pulled Ivan out of the common room, and behind them, there was a mess of whistles. They were not the first couple to go out. Everyone had a clear expression on their faces, as if they already knew what Ai Wen and Hermione were going to do.

Both Ivan and Hermione blushed, trying to pretend that they didn't hear the whistles.

"What did you tell Sirius?" Ivan asked curiously.

"Nothing, just remind him to pay attention to the time."

In the dark corridor, Hermione repeated to Ivan what she had just said to Sirius.

But Ivan kept thinking about the content of his conversation with Harry and Ron in his head. He looked at Hermione in front of him, and his thoughts drifted further and further away.

Time passed, and at about half past ten in the night, Sirius, Harry, and Ron came out one by one.

Fred and George seemed to be performing some kind of show, the common room was still noisy, and the carnival showed no signs of ending.

"Let's go, to the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest." Harry said excitedly, without the fatigue he had just finished the game.

"The five of us better hurry up, so that no one else notices that we have left the castle." Sirius was completely back to normal, not at all drunk, "I just asked Fred and George, they Will try to keep the carnival going."

Sirius led everyone to the foyer, while telling them what to pay attention to. They walked through the old castle gates and strode across the pitch-black grounds. The tension became more tense as they approached the dark, silent Forbidden Forest, and everyone was cautious.

The moonlight was very bright, but clouds kept drifting over to cover the moon, making them plunge into darkness.

It's hard to imagine that just now, a few of them were still having a carnival in the brightly lit common room, but now they asked to enter the forbidden forest full of dangers.

Harry and Ron's expressions gradually became serious, and they didn't have the energy to think about messy things anymore.

They seem to realize that venturing into the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night is not as easy as they imagined. (To be continued.)
