Harry Potter: The Wizard of Apocalypse

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Hermione's Gift



Under such an overclocked frequency band, except for a few girls who really fell asleep, the other girls who were lying in a daze woke up quickly. New thoughts were instantly injected into the minds of those who were in a daze, and those who were lying in bed waiting for the god of sleep to quickly lift the quilt.

In short, all the girls in the dormitory had turned their gossip radars to the limit.

"Yeah, girls need to practice putting on makeup more."

Parvati first expressed her approval of Hermione's answer, and then said, "How can you make boys' hearts beat faster without makeup? Right, Hermione~"

Parvati deliberately prolonged her tone and said teasingly, "I have a book from my hometown in India that teaches you how to capture boys. It's a pity that it's with my sister, otherwise, it would definitely be good for you to read it..."

"What? I don't understand what you are saying, Parvati," Hermione said calmly.

"It's weird for you to put on makeup so early on a weekend morning." Seeing that the topic had deviated a little, Lavender, who had been unable to wait any longer, chose to join the team battle herself.

This unusually affirmative tone seemed to give a precise definition of Hermione's behavior.

"Are you going out on a date with a senior?" Parvati asked suspiciously. With Lavender's help, the topic gradually returned to the right track.

"Ian Titus!!! His name was written on the gift." Lavender pronounced the name in a high-pitched tone.

"Wow!" This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Not only the girls who had a good relationship with Hermione, but even those girls who had conflicts with Hermione, or even those who were fighting secretly with each other, chose to temporarily put aside their prejudices at this moment, and they all had the desire to slowly move closer to watch and listen.

"No way... she's with Ian?"

Before she knew it, there were 6-7 girls surrounding Hermione.

"We can talk about this later. Don't waste time now. Go put on your makeup."

As the instigator of the incident, Lavender still had some responsibility. She took the initiative to block the fire for Hermione, and at the same time reminded her: "Remember not to make people wait too long."

Perhaps it was the encounter with Ian on the train before school started that gave Hermione her first friend before entering Hogwarts. This small change had the most direct consequence that she was no longer isolated by the girls in her dormitory as in the original timeline.

Because Ian always made her feel safe, Hermione no longer used her arrogance to protect herself. This also enabled her to have several friends in the dormitory whom she could talk to, and Parvati was one of them.

Of course, Parvati and Lavender had no intention of letting Hermione go, and after sending everyone away, only the three of them were left, and this was their own little circle.

Although they had sent everyone away and avoided being surrounded, it did not mean that other girls would not eavesdrop. At that moment, the dormitory was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and they all pricked up their ears tacitly.

The main reason was that the gossip object, Ian, was too popular. It is also the law of attraction. Just like Jupiter's asteroid belt, there are as many as 120,000 numbered asteroids orbiting Jupiter, not to mention other meteorite fragments, which are countless.

After repeated questioning by the two of them, Hermione finally admitted that she did have an appointment with Ian today, but it was not a date in the traditional sense, just a discussion of magical knowledge together.

After hearing this, the girls in the dormitory collectively breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a date, it proved that Ian hadn't been taken yet. They still had a chance, but they also understood that the chance was actually very, very slim.

The simplest example is that even though they knew Ian was in the Gryffindor common room at the moment, few girls would muster up the courage to approach him and talk to him.

It wasn't because Ian was serious or unkind, but because of his clear, cold temperament and deep eyes, which made them feel ashamed when standing in front of him.

Coupled with Ian's quiet personality, over time, all the girls only dared to pay continuous attention to Ian secretly while keeping a certain distance.

This is also the reason why Jupiter is surrounded by countless meteorite fragments, but those meteorites can only float around in the asteroid belt instead of rushing towards Jupiter in a disorderly manner.

Back to the topic, after Hermione confessed, Parvati was really happy for her and gave her the best advice. Parvati quickly returned to her bed and took out a purple wooden box about one foot square from the bedside bookshelf.

"Wear some gold jewelry. Choose whatever you like. Choose as much as you like. If a girl doesn't have enough gold on her, boys will look down on her."

As she spoke, she opened the purple wooden box, which was shining brightly with gold. It was full of gold jewelry of various styles. In short, this Indian girl really cared about Hermione, although she might not be accepted by the other party.

As expected, Hermione chose to refuse, but at Parvati's repeated request, Hermione still chose a less exaggerated necklace inlaid with white gems to wear on her chest.

Lavender also said casually, "I heard that Daphne from Slytherin had openly said that Ian was her chosen target, and she also said something like not allowing anyone to spy on Ian."

Compared to Parvati's sincerity and kindness, what Lavender said sounded a bit like fake sisterhood. They just wanted to watch the fun and make trouble, but their intention to sow discord was too obvious.

"Ian is a human being, not someone's appendage. She only dares to say these things behind Ian's back," Hermione couldn't help but say. It was obvious that she didn't understand Lavender's thoughts, and she was so naive that she fell into the trap.

Before Hermione could continue to speak, Parvati interrupted her and said, "Now that you have finished your makeup, go and open the gift he gave you and see if you need a gift in return."

Compared to Hermione's simplicity, Parvati was very familiar with this kind of struggle between girls, and she also understood Lavender's little thoughts.

Therefore, she stopped Hermione from speaking any further in time. If Hermione said anything more, it might be spread out by 'someone with ulterior motives,' which would widen the conflict between Hermione and the other party.

After being reminded by the other party, Hermione obediently went to the bed to open the gift box sent by Ian. What came into view were two pairs of exquisite silk socks, one black and one white. The length was just a little above the knee, which was a medium-length style for students.

Hermione liked the silky and soft touch very much and immediately chose to wear the white one.
