"Why...... Do you smell of Selwyn's perfume?" asked Astoria Greengrass with a bitter expression.

This question...... Jon was stunned.

Why do I smell of Selwyn's perfume? Isn't that magical......

"Ahem...... You must be mistaken, right?" Jon coughed dryly, remembering what had happened.

"How could it be ......" Astoria shook her head sadly: "Selwyn is my friend, and I can't be more familiar with the smell of her......"

Jon reacted suddenly...... Selwyn sat beside him when the Knights of Walples had just gathered, and he had hugged her himself during the welcoming ceremony......

Most likely it was at that time!

But why is Astoria's sense of smell so sensitive, you can smell it.

"That's right...... Ahem...... Jon scratched his head, "I did have a ...... with her just now"

Looking at Astoria's ugly face, Jon quickly added, "Of course, she's not alone...... And many more, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson and Vincent Crabbe...... A small gathering...... You know, my new Slytherin 'friends' and I ......"

“...... I guess I just got it!" Jon explained...... He couldn't go into more detail, he couldn't tell Astoria that he had just officially joined the Death Eaters, and that he had gone undercover to become the leader of the organization, and by the way, he had a hug ceremony with each of them.

Fortunately, the strange look on Astoria's face eased a lot.

"Is that so?" she nodded and whispered, "That's fine!"

......

The small and cramped teahouse private room has become a little deserted.

A few candles were lit on the rough wooden table, and a few wisps of mist were rising from time to time in the corners.

Jon and Astoria sat facing each other, neither of them seeming to speak.

At Hogwarts, they are all passers-by who pretend to be nodding acquaintances for fear of being noticed, and they don't have many opportunities to talk together, and they can occasionally meet in the Forbidden Forest for too long......

It stands to reason that coupled with the previous summer vacation, they haven't been able to stay quietly with such a person for half a year......

After being silent for dozens of seconds, Astoria suddenly took the lead in speaking: "Selwyn is not a good girl......

"Huh?" Jon let out a strange cry:

He said quickly, "It really has nothing to do with her...... I swear ......"

"I know!" Astoria leaned over suddenly, put an index finger on Jon's lips, and shook her head at him slightly, "If there's something you're not sure to tell me, then don't say it...... I believe in your ......"

Looking at her clear gaze, Jon nodded and shut his mouth.

"But Selwyn wasn't a good girl...... I've been with her for more than three years, and I know ......" Astoria continued the topic just now: "She is very, very hostile to ordinary people and wizards from ordinary families......"

"It's much more serious than my sister, and my sister doesn't actually discriminate against you......" Astoria sat down again, holding her chin in her hands and muttering, "She's just ...... She's just ......"

"Did she just say she slipped out?" Jon said jokingly.

Astoria snorted and laughed, "Do you remember...... At that time, you hated ......."

Jon stuck out his tongue mischievously......

"I hated you at the time, no one ever spoke to me like that when I was a child......" Astoria pouted, "If it weren't for Professor Snape who assigned you to me in Potions class, I would have ignored you for a few years, hum......"

"Shouldn't I have to thank Professor Snape, then?" Jon asked with a smile.

"And thank Professor Snape?" Astoria glanced at Jon with disdain, "He didn't even know you were alive......"

"Uh......" Jon nodded ashamedly, "Seems to be ......"

"Isn't that just me and Professor Dumbledore knowing...... It's an honor......" There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, but a smile appeared on the corner of Astoria's mouth.

The previous unpleasantness was quickly blown away by laughter.

Although Jon always felt that Astoria was acting a little strange today.

But he couldn't tell where the strangeness was.

......

The heart-shaped clock on the wall shows that the time has reached 11:45.

If they don't get back to the Hogwarts gates before twelve a.m., Argus-Filch, the caretaker, won't let them go.

In the cramped room, Astoria asked, "Do you go first or do I go first?"

"Why don't we go together?" Jon asked with an inquiring look as he prepared to take the Iron Ring.

"No......" Astoria shook her head firmly, "what if it makes others doubt you......"

"Okay...... Whatever!" Jon said casually, "You go first!"

"Hmm!" Astoria stood up and put her coat back on.

"Next time we come to Hogsmeade, will we meet here?" Jon asked.

Astoria seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay!" she adjusted her facial expression, leaned into Jon's ear, and said with a smile, "Next time you come over, don't get the smell of other girls on you, otherwise it won't be as easy as it is today......"

Then she turned and walked out of the hut.

Jon, who remained in the private room, looked out the window, looked at Astoria's back, left Lady Padiv's teahouse, and walked towards Hogwarts.

For some reason, he still felt that Astoria's performance today was weird.

Could it be that she was still suspicious of Selwyn's affairs...... But no, judging from her tone, she should be fine......

"Probably my own delusion!" As Astoria's back vanished, Jon stood up.

He put on the iron ring and walked out of Madame Pardiff's teahouse.

......

Outside, on a sunny day, Jon stretched.

"Christopher!" someone was calling his name, a "new friend" he had met a few hours earlier.

Bress Sabini walked over with a pile of candy in his hand: "You haven't been back to school yet...... I went to Duke Honey to buy some sweets......"

"yes...... I just had a cup of tea here!" Jon nodded, "Let's go back now!"

"Yes......" said Sabini.
