Harry was silent for a moment, "I heard that you successfully summoned the physical Patronus? Can you tell me the trick?"

His mentality was like that of a poor student in his class. He clearly failed with another poor student yesterday, but that kid got full marks in the exam in a blink of an eye. Harry was naturally curious how Tom did it.

Tom scratched the back of his head: how? The truth is that I have always been able to summon a physical Patronus...

That is to say, the brother who failed the class with you just forgot to draw the answer sheet every time...

The truth was so cruel to Harry that Tom chose to use white lies.

"Find the beauty in your heart and practice more."

After throwing such a nonsense, Tom Fei also walked away.

Leave Harry and Ron there to figure it out.

"Would you like to go for a walk by the Black Lake?" Hermione suggested after leaving the school hospital. She thinks that studying in the lounge or the library will lead to a decrease in efficiency. It is better to go out for a walk, which will help improve efficiency.

Many times, distress and boredom are caused by lack of exercise. As long as you go downstairs for a walk and let the cold air pour into your chest and lungs, all kinds of negative emotions will disappear.

"However, I have to wait for me to go back to the dormitory." Hermione stretched her clothes, "This dress is really inconvenient to wear."

Tom, of course, had no objection.

They came to Ravenclaw Tower and knocked on the knocker.

The eagle knocker begs the question as usual: "What is a nose without a body?"

"No one knows." Tom pushed open the door of the tower, "I'll wait for you outside."

Hermione walked into the common room. She was a little puzzled by Tom's choice to stay outside the door. At first she thought Tom was trying to get a cool breeze, but she soon understood why.

After she walked into the lounge, the little wizards who were busy with various things in the room stopped their work and stared at Hermione.

Hermione: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

She understood the reason at once: Yesterday, she was in a lot of limelight, and it is normal to be in the spotlight now. So she rushed into her dormitory before her classmates surrounded her.

However, after entering the dormitory, she realized that she seemed to have just escaped the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again, and her "sisters" were already waiting for her.

"Hermione-Jane-Granger," Sue Lee rushed up, blocking Hermione's retreat, "Can you tell me where you went last night?"

The other girls gathered around and surrounded Hermione.

Hermione rolled her eyes, "I got a little hypothermia from the rain, so I went to Madam Pomfrey to get a decoction, and then Madam Pomfrey left me in the school hospital for a night of observation—you guys You know, Madam Pomfrey, zealous, sometimes too zealous—"

Hermione felt that she was like an actress in a TV series at this time, she believed that the expression on her face must be very stiff, and her acting rating must be in the middle of nowhere.

"Reasonable." Su Li said justly and sternly like a judge.

"But according to the testimony of Witness No. 1, Padma Patil, you did not leave the Quidditch pitch immediately after the game, so please explain to Miss Granger that since you are soaked in the rain, you Why not go back to the castle as soon as possible, but stay where you are?"

Hermione: ?

"Witness? Number one?" She felt that today's group of hooves were prepared, and it was difficult for her to pass the test easily.

But Hermione was by no means a person who could easily be captured, and the aggressiveness of her roommates gradually aroused her competitiveness, so she said as usual that she was frozen.

"So someone sent you back?" Little stars appeared in the eyes of the girls present.

"Yes, Tom took me to the school hospital."

"Wow!" Hermione's roommates burst into cheers.

"So he stayed with you in the school hospital overnight?"

"Did you really spend the night in the school hospital?"

"Where does he sleep?"

The little girls asked in vain.

"You... what happened to you?" Mandy Brohe asked nervously and gossip.

Hermione was in a trance when she remembered the "Little Wildcat" outfit, but she quickly restrained her mind.

"Nothing happened, where is the school hospital!"

Su Li frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple, and she felt that the matter needed to be further investigated. And the one who uncovers the fog and finds the truth about the relationship between Tom and Hermione will be her: the famous Hogwarts love detective, Sue Lee!

She approached Hermione and sniffed her body lightly, "It smells like lying..."

Hermione: ?

"What are you talking about, I don't understand..." She felt a little guilty.

Su Li narrowed his eyes.

"Anyway, make room for me, I want to change clothes." Hermione pushed her roommates away, ran to her closet, opened the closet and suitcase and began to pick and choose.

This successfully attracted the attention of the roommates. They no longer struggled with where Hermione went last night, but began to advise Hermione and match her clothes.

"How about the red one? Pair it with a yellow silk scarf, and you must be the most beautiful."

"If it's the red one, I think it would be perfect to wear that purple dress, but it's a bit cold now—"

"What's wrong with the cold!"

While the girls were arguing, Hermione found a grey wool skirt that was long enough to wrap around her knees and looked warm. Below the skirt, there is also a tonal scarf and a light grey woolen coat. In addition, she came out with a pair of brown boots from under the bed.

The feature of this outfit is thermal insulation.

"Our Hermione doesn't need clothes at all, she looks good even in a sack - and if Yordle dares to say one more bad word, I'll tear his mouth apart!"

"Our Miss Granger must be reluctant to..."

Hermione was used to her roommates. She changed her clothes, but before she could get out of the bedroom, she was dragged by her friends.

"Merlin's here! Don't you wear makeup?!" They pressed Hermione on the chair and painted her brows, primer, and eyeliner.

"With this color, it is white, but not obtrusive."

"The eyebrows are drawn so long-"

"Where's the eyeliner!"

...

When Hermione walked out of the lounge again, she was already a different person.

"Waiting for a long time..." She lowered her head and trotted all the way to Tom's side, a little embarrassed: she knew that she had made Tom wait outside for a long time.

"It's nothing, I happened to go downstairs to get two breakfasts." Tom showed Hermione the kraft paper bag in his hand.

"You still wear makeup?" He saw the delicate makeup on Hermione's face. He felt that the makeup must have consumed a lot of energy.

"Well," Hermione lowered her head, secretly surprised in her heart: doesn't it mean that as long as you don't put on lipstick or blush, boys can't see that girls are wearing makeup or not? Why is there something different on Tom's side?

"very nice."

"……thanks."

The two walked down the stairs, through the castle's atrium, and out of Hogwarts Castle through the back door. Not far away is the school's greenhouse and vegetable fields. Professor Sprout grows quite a few teaching crops and common fruits and vegetables there.

"Cherry?" Tom opened the kraft paper bag and took out a smaller bag filled with purple thumb-nail-sized cherries.

The vegetable fields and orchards of Hogwarts are enchanted to produce all kinds of fruits and vegetables, regardless of the weather. Like these cherries, they usually ripen in May or June. It is not so easy to eat fresh cherries in this late autumn season.

But Hogwarts is all about fresh, freshly picked cherries.

"Eat!" Hermione leaned over, put both hands on her chest, stuck her head out and looked at the cherries in the bag expectantly, then stretched out her hand and picked out a few cherries that were delicious at first glance .

"Very sweet!" She praised, "I will test you, what kind of cherry do you think this cherry is? There is a reward for the right answer."

Tom: Huh?

"There are four kinds of cherries, namely cherries, European sweet cherries, European **** cherries and raw cherries," Hermione said while putting the cherries in her mouth, while lowering the difficulty for Tom. "Think about it, it's not difficult."

"Uh, European sweet cherries?"

"That's right!" Hermione snapped her fingers. "How did you figure it out?"

"This is Europe, and that cherry is sweet..."

Hermione:  …

"Forget it, you're right when a blind cat meets a dead mouse. Remember, the fruit of the European sweet cherry is nearly spherical or ovoid, red to purple-black in color, and 1.5-2.5 cm in diameter."

Tom nodded, nice.jpg

"Well, reward." Hermione took down a cherry and greeted Tom, then put her mouth up when he turned his head, and gave Tom the cherry in his mouth.

It was soft and tender to the touch, with a hint of oiliness in the warmth, and then a round thing opened Tom's lips and teeth, and was sent in by a naughty little guy. Before Tom could react, the little guy finished his mission and ran away.

"Well..." Tom swallowed the sweet and moist cherry, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a rustling voice from the vegetable field next to him.

He looked towards the voice, and it turned out to be a beige hare.

"Little rabbit!" Hermione exclaimed softly in surprise, then took a cherry from the bag and threw it in front of the rabbit.

The rabbit was startled by her and almost ran away, but seeing that the two were not approaching, another cherry was thrown in front of it, and it squatted back again.

After waiting for a few seconds, after finding that there was no danger, it cautiously moved to the front of the cherry, opened its three-lobed mouth, and snapped the stalk off the top of the cherry, swallowed it in its mouth, and enjoyed it. Chew up.

Seeing it eating cherry stems there, Hermione blinked: The rabbit's understanding of cherries seems to be a little different from ours?

"Maybe it's grinding its teeth?" Tom speculated.

What the rabbit was thinking, they couldn't speculate. Because the rabbit hopped away after chewing the cherry stalk.

After Tom and Hermione finished teasing the rabbits, they continued their walk along the vegetable patch.

"Look, there's something in Hagrid's pumpkin patch!" Hermione called, pointing to the pumpkin patch in the distance. Tom looked there, and at a glance saw the huge creature lying on the edge of the field. The guy has the body, hind legs and tail of a horse, but the front legs, head and wings are like an eagle.

It was Buckbeak, the hippogriff who committed the crime.

Seeing Tom and Hermione approaching, Buckbeak stood up vigilantly, staring at them vigilantly with his big orange eyes, his steely beak gleaming with a grim sheen, half a foot long. The long claws scratched on the ground, making deep scratches.

Fortunately, a thick iron chain was tied around its neck, and it was tightly wrapped around a wooden stake, so that it was restricted within a certain range.

"Tom, be careful!" Hermione pulled at the corner of his shirt worriedly. Although Malfoy is self-inflicted, this is a bird of prey that hurts people, if the ferocity is not lost...

Hermione shuddered at the sight of its dagger-like claws.

Tom looked Buckbeak's orange eyes straight at it and bowed to it. Buckbeak gave Tom a few glances, then bent down his scaly front knees in a very standard bow.

"Success." Tom motioned for Hermione to bow like him. Buckbeak replied again, but this time he seemed impatient, his knees bent a little perfunctory.

The two of them patted Buckbeak's beak lightly, making him close his eyes comfortably. It looks like it likes the tone - it's hard to reach with its claws in this position.

"Hey!" Suddenly a panicked shout came, which startled the two of them. Tom raised his head and saw Hagrid rushing towards him like a tank. He rushed a few meters away to see the situation clearly before he became embarrassed. stop.

Buckbeak uttered a disgruntled tweet at Hagrid. Hagrid stopped quickly.

"Why are you here—I mean... well, I didn't expect you to get along well with it..." Seeing Tom and Hermione safe and sound, Hagrid's heart was about to settle down. He was really afraid, afraid that Buckbeak would hurt someone again.

"Okay, now that you're here, come in and have a cup of tea?" Hagrid untied a furry unknown creature from the fence on one side and threw it to Buckbeak.

With the cracking of bones, Tom and Hermione entered Hagrid's cabin. As soon as he entered the door, Tom could smell a strong aroma of coffee.

"Sit whatever you want." As soon as he entered the door, Hagrid beckoned the two to sit down, while he took out two bowl-sized teacups from the cupboard, and picked up a steaming white one from the stove on one side. kettle.

"Tea?"

"Coffee bar~lightnovelpub.net~ It's better to have a cup of coffee in the morning.

Tom put the paper bag of breakfast on the table and watched Hagrid prepare the coffee.
