Chapter 219: Christmas Carnival in Diagon Alley
Dating, dating again?!
Hermione's face flushed, and she remembered the last time she was alone with Aven.
The two of them went to Hogsmeade together on the last day of last semester, where they spent the whole day, and even went to Lady Padiff's teahouse
Hermione's heart beat slightly, and her mind returned to the couple's teahouse, all dressed in pink and filled with the smell of sweetness and greasy.
She thought about what Evan was going to do to himself under that big Christmas tree, that he was going to kiss him, and that he was almost going to succeed.
As for what Evan did, Hermione couldn't tell if it was surprise, anticipation, or even hope
Anyway, the strange emotions in her heart are getting stronger and stronger, and her face is getting redder and redder.
To tell the truth, she didn't expect that Evan would be so bold at that time, he actually wanted to kiss herself, and if he really kissed, she didn't know what to do.
Thankfully, it didn't work out, and reason told Hermione that it was the right thing to do.
There's no denying that she does like Aven. But Hermione wasn't sure if Evan liked her too, or if she was just influenced by the atmosphere in the teahouse.
She also had a jump at the time, there were so many couples doing that kind of thing.
In that kind of atmosphere, anyone can be tempted to do something stupid.
In Hermione's opinion, Evan was so good, very talented in magic, always the focus of conversation, and there were many girls in the school who liked him.
For example, Ravenclaw's Autumn Akira, she is much more beautiful than herself.
Hermione was a little frustrated, she was just a nerd who only knew how to read to death, she was average-looking, she loved to drill horns, and her temper was not particularly good.
Compared to Qiu, boys should like girls like her.
Every time Autumn walked past them, Aven, Harry, and Ron would all three of them look up at her.
So, Hermione has always dared to be sure if Evan really likes her.
But after that, they went through a series of events together.
Whether it was the horrific werewolf attack, or the next accusation of Professor Lupin by Ron, the conspiracy of Peter Pettigrew, the rescue of Sirius, the search for Regulus in the dangerous cavern, etc., the events of the past few days have made Hermione feel like she has passed centuries.
Many times, they have brushed shoulders with death.
While the tension remained high, Hermione and Aven's relationship grew closer.
At all times, Evan is willing to protect himself regardless of his life.
While Hermione was moved, the trust in Evan in the depths of her heart, as well as the indescribable different emotions, became stronger and stronger.
She suddenly regretted it now, why didn't she take the opportunity to clarify the relationship at Madame Pardiff's teahouse last time, maybe she should have been more proactive
It was a shame to miss that opportunity, and one thing was for sure, she would never have had the courage to go to that kind of place with Evan again.
But I still have a chance, tonight's Christmas party.
They're in Diagon Alley, where there's a festive atmosphere, and there's a better atmosphere than Hogsmeade, and there's definitely no monsters like werewolves or corpses to disturb them.
Hermione was looking forward to tonight as he and Evan went on a date in the truest sense of the word.
She glanced at Evan secretly, and if there was an opportunity like the last time at Lady Padiv's teahouse, she must seize it.
In the narrow patio behind the Leaky Cauldron Bar, the atmosphere became a little strange.
I don't know when it started, but Evan and Hermione suddenly fell silent, and the things they were talking about about Regulus were gone, and neither of them spoke.
Evan scratched his head in embarrassment, his heart pounding.
Through the glow of the micro-milk in the bar, he saw that Hermione's face took on an attractive pink color, like a ripe apple, and people couldn't help but go up and take a bite.
He subconsciously took half a step forward, getting closer and closer to Hermione.
The palms of the hands were full of sweat, and the strange atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger.
Aven's gaze accidentally met Hermione's, and he noticed that there was a hint of frenzy hidden in the girl's smart gaze, which looked particularly attractive.
He and Hermione looked at each other, and the two of them hurriedly moved away.
I can't tell why, but Evan just thinks that Hermione is particularly beautiful tonight.
Just as he mustered up his courage and was about to say something, the stone wall in front of him suddenly began to move, startling them.
Aven and Hermione hurriedly turned their heads, and in front of them, a small hole appeared in the middle of the stone wall that led to Diagon Alley, and the hole grew larger and larger, and in a short time there was a wide archway in front of them that led to a cobbled street that was winding and endless with no end in sight.
"Merry Christmas, kids!" a group of wizards dressed in festive red and green costumes stepped out of it and greeted Evan and Hermione happily.
They hurried past the two men, ready to go to Diagon Alley for a drink.
Evan and Hermione looked at each other, slightly embarrassed, Evan was extremely clumsy in his movements, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Hermione suddenly laughed, the corners of her mouth on both sides rose slightly, and her smiling eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape,
She gritted her teeth, took the initiative to take Aven's right hand, and stepped forward into Diagon Alley.
Diagon Alley tonight has a special charm, and almost all the shops are brightly lit.
The streets are filled with cheerful Christmas songs and flanked by rows of Christmas trees filled with decorations and Christmas presents, some with shiny Xiaoice pillars and others with hundreds of candles. Walking through the Christmas tree, you can see that the brick wall behind it has also been cast with a special magic, and it is covered with weeping ribbons of holly and mistletoe, changing colors.
There are also those bizarre mascots, each of which looks extraordinarily peculiar, some dressed up as wizards, and some conjured up with Transfiguration.
The smell of sweet food fills the streets, and the streets are filled with people who are partying, dancing and celebrating the arrival of Christmas.
"Look there, Aven!" said Hermione happily, looking in high spirits with a sweet smile on her face.
Following the direction of her finger, Aven saw a paper dragon in his twenties with a red Christmas hat flying over the crowd in the small square in front of Gringotts, with a goblin on the dragon's body, and he kept throwing Christmas presents into the crowd below.
Those gifts were glittering gold gallons, and many wizards were grabbing these gold coins below, and from time to time they erupted into loud laughter.
Evan knew that those gold coins must be fake, otherwise with the stinginess and greed of the elves, they would not have done such a thing.
Instead of joining the revelry crowd, they wandered aimlessly through the lively streets, chatting happily.
There are celebrations at every store, as well as free Christmas gifts.
The sound of magical fireworks rang out from time to time above their heads, not with a muffled bang like a normal firecracker, but with a blast like a cannon bombardment, engulfing the crowd in smoke of all colors.
Inside the firecracker, there are all kinds of Easter egg gifts.
Evan picked up an admiral's hat and put it on top of his head to be particularly funny.
Hermione wanted a cute pink straw hat, and they ran around Diagon Alley with the other wizards.
Follow the direction in which the firecrackers land and collect the gifts that fall on the ground everywhere.
At the door of the Jumping and Frolicking Magic Joke Store, a goodie bag firecracker exploded with a thud, and a puff of green smoke drifted by, and Evan saw the pink hat fall into the alley not far away, and he hurriedly pulled Hermione and ran over.
In front of them was a secluded alley, and there was no one in it. Like the outside, inside the alley is a towering Christmas tree with mistletoe and a dozen candles, emitting a faint, hazy light that looks very romantic. (To be continued.) )
