When Andrew arrived at the venue, he heard a deafening commotion from the crowd, drowning out the whistle for the end of the match.

"How's it going?" Andrew asked as he walked over to Hermione.

"Andrew!" Hermione jumped and pounced on Andrew, "Win! We win!"

"Looks like I missed a good game?"

"yes," Hermione said excitedly, "if you had come a little earlier, you would have seen the best part." ”

"I see," Andrew said as he looked at the players hugging each other excitedly, "and it looks like I really missed it." ”

In the Gryffindor lounge, a celebratory party was going on. Harry became the center of celebration, and the crowd gathered around Harry, especially the large group of girls, who surrounded him in the middle, and no matter what Harry said that was not interesting, they all laughed and winked at him.

Ginny and Hermione sat on a couch in the far corner, each with a bottle of drink, watching the frantic group of celebrators.

"Oh no, they can't do that blatantly here!" Hermione said suddenly, pointing to the other corner.

"What?" Ginny looked in the direction she was pointing, and Ron and Lavender Brown were hugging each other tightly in front of the rest room, so indistinguishable that they couldn't tell whose hand belonged to whom.

"Isn't that an impact?" said Hermione, "in front of so many people, after all. ”

Ginny smiled, "It's alright," he put his arm around Hermione's shoulder, "Why don't we try it too?"

Hermione blushed and pushed Ginny away, and Ginny laughed even harder, "Just kidding." ”

"Are you kidding?" Hermione blinked, then put her arm around Ginny again, "I think we can try." ”

"Hey, you'd better go find your boyfriend, Andrew must be with you all night. ”

This time it was Hermione's turn to smirk, she looked at Ginny stunned, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I'm kidding too." Speaking of which, how are you and Harry, and how far have you go?"

Ginny smiled mysteriously, "Very good, we did what should be done between couples." ”

Hermione covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Ginny with wide eyes, "What, Ginny, you must be lying to me, how old are you, if Mrs. Weasley knew, she would have killed Harry." ”

"Haha, just kidding, but, although I didn't break through the last step, I did everything else. What about you, how are you and Andrew? He's always had that relationship with that Autumn, are you willing?" Ginny smiled and patted Hermione on the shoulder, and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Mrs. Weasley would turn Harry into a toad.

Hermione smiled relievedly, "So are we, you don't know, boy, they're all that kind of greedy and can't control themselves." So Cho and I have formed an alliance and are ready to take care of him together. ”

It would be Ginny's turn to be surprised, "You actually made a deal with Cho? ”

"Otherwise, who made me like Andy so much. Besides, there are many polyandry and polygamous countries in the world now, even in the United States, in some places. Now we can only take one step at a time, and we are not ready to get married. Hermione shrugged, "Autumn thinks the same way, originally I thought Autumn would be more conservative, Andy was so attentive, and Autumn didn't quit." Hermione puffed out her cheeks and feigned anger.

"Wow, that's incredible. I thought..."

"Well, Ginny, even the famous wizards, and even Queen Elizabeth, have many lovers, don't they? Besides, as I said, we are not married, and I may leave him at any time, and I may not like him one day. Hermione watched Ron still hugging the girl, and they started kissing--- Andrew took Hermione's first kiss--- which was annoying.

As time flies, Christmas is just around the corner.

Hagrid had single-handedly brought the twelve Christmas trees that were indispensable in the Great Hall each year, the railings of the stairs were wrapped in holly and metal foil, the helmets of his armor were flickering with bright candles, and the hallways were hung with bunches of mistletoe at intervals.

The silence of the deep sea made it difficult for any force to attack, which gave the Ministry of Magic a respite. The Dark Lord did not storm the Ministry of Magic as he had imagined, and the situation was strangely plunged into a brief period of silence.

Earl Lee gave Cho a position in the Ministry of Magic, and the department has been gradually resuming operations recently, so Cho can't stay at Hogwarts with Andrew all the time. These Andrew became more relaxed.

Because Andrew has so much time, many people feel that they can see Andrew wherever he goes, or that he is almost everywhere.

"Why are you here?" said Hermione, as Mrs. Pince, the librarian, was patrolling the bookshelves in the back, "I was about to go for you." ”

Andrew sat down next to Hermione and flipped through a worn-out notebook, "It's okay, I just woke up." ”

"Oh," Hermione suddenly remembered something, "I was invited to Professor Slughorn's evening, and he said he could bring someone with him. So I thought ......"

“…… Are you going to call me along?" Andrew asked.

"Yes, if you don't want to go, forget it. ”

"Of course I went. Andrew said decisively.

"Great. Hermione was happy with your smile.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Andrew and Hermione came to the foyer.

He suddenly noticed an unusually large number of girls wandering around.

"What's going on?" Andrew asked.

Hermione sneered quietly, "They——— look. ”

At this time, Harry walked over with Ginny, and the girls seemed to be staring at him with resentment. Ginny was wearing a robe studded with pink lace, and although she was still a little immature, her appearance was already very attractive to the boys.

"It's because of Harry. Andrew said, "I can understand that, so let's go?"

"Oh, good. ”

They ascended the marble steps to Slughorn's office, laughter, music, and loud speech increasing with their steps.

Slughorn's office was much larger than the average teacher's room. The ceiling and walls are covered with emerald green, crimson and gold draperies, which look like in a large tent.

The room was crowded and stuffy, illuminated red by a golden lamp hanging in the center of the ceiling. There are real elves flickering in the lights, and each elf is a bright point of light.

In the distance, a loud song sounded like a mandolin, a few talkative old wizards with a mist of pipes on their heads, and house-elves creaked through the jungle of calves, holding heavy silver platters that covered their bodies like roaming little tables.

"Hello, glad you're here!" "Hello Andrew and Hermione squeezed through the door, Slughorn exclaimed, "Hello first——— Andrew, I didn't expect you to come too, I thought you were going to do something big with your dad--- I happened to hear something about your father and son, it was amazing, I mean, it's a genius, next time I'll give you an invitation, don't say no." ”

Andrew smiled, "Of course, Professor, I'm honored."

Slughorn wears a velvet hat with tassels that matches his smoking shirt.

"This is Miss Hermione Granger, and this one next to her is Mr. Andrew Lee, and it is worth mentioning that the two of them are the best students in the whole of Hogwarts. ”

Andrew didn't react to this introduction, and looked calm, but Hermione felt a little embarrassed, she blushed slightly, and her steps were slightly behind Andrew.

Most of the people in the room Andrew didn't know, but they all seemed to be very capable people, Andrew didn't have any desire to show it, but Hermione, who soon met a few female prefects and was invited to talk.

No one will look at them and ignore them again.

"Well," Andrew sighed, "that's exactly what I thought." ”

"What's the matter, Andrew? These people look very powerful, and the wizard over there seems to have been in the Daily Prophet and killed two Death Eaters. Hermione asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"How to describe it?the last revelry, the feast of the end?" Andrew politely took the wine from the elf's hand and said, "This is just a stage for a group of so-called celebrities to socialize with each other, only some famous people, they are willing to come forward to communicate with you, these people work hard to weave a net, maintain the threshold of class——— it's a pity that they forget, even this world has reached the brink of destruction, have this moment, not to prepare more, but here drunk and forget to die, isn't it pitiful?"

"Don't be so scary, Andrew. A voice behind him said. Luna wore a very normal and completely unadorned student robe--- which made her stand out throughout the ball--- and she was invited to be the trending star of the wizarding world.

"Come here, Luna, I haven't seen you in a few days, let's have a good chat in a moment. Hermione laughed and said, "You're alone?"

"Isn't my companion by your side?" Luna took the goblet from Andrew's hand and took a sip of it--- which Andrew had drunk.

Hermione smiled, "Alright, I knew I was going to invite you, and the two of us will make a pair, and we're sure to wow the whole ball." ”

Luna didn't answer, looking through the crowd, Andrew saw two or three people talking enthusiastically around Harry - one of them seemed to be Luna's father, Mr. Lovegood--- this guy really likes celebrities, but why does he like to go against the grain.

"Mr. Lovegood is here too?" Andrew said noncommittally, Luna was the only person who could talk to Andrew more frankly, before Queen Anne, only Luna knew what a terrible demon Andrew had in his body, "It seems that the professor has invited a lot of people." ”

Luna nodded.

Andrew took two more goblets with mead from the elf's plate and handed them to Hermione, leaving one for himself, "Since we're here, let's stay for a while before we leave." ”

"Glad you took care of my thoughts, Andrew. I hope I won't get in your way. ”

"Of course not," said Andrew, "I think it's too early to go back——— hello, Professor. ”

Professor Trelawney slowly approached them alone.

"Hello. Luna said politely.

"Good evening, dear. Professor Trelawney struggled to get to see Luna, "I haven't seen you in class lately......"

"Well, I took Ferenze's class this year. Luna said.

"Oh, of course," said Professor Trelawney, with an angry drunken chuckle, "I like to call him a colt. You might think that when I came back, Professor Dumbledore would send the horse away, right......? We're also going to split the lessons...... It's an insult, seriously, an insult. You know ......."

"You're drunk, Professor. Andrew politely reminded.

"I'm not ...... drunk?" exclaimed Professor Trelawney, turning to speak to the others again.

Hermione raised an eyebrow, "Looks like she's really drunk." ”

"That's right," Andrew agreed, "the best way to tell if a person is drunk or not is to see what he says: if he keeps shouting that he is not drunk, he must be drunk; ”

Luna tilted her head and looked at Andrew for a moment, "That's interesting." She said, "You don't object to me telling my dad about this theory, do you? I think he'll be happy to write an article about drunkenness." ”

"Absolutely. ”

"It's a disaster," Harry said embarrassedly, "these people grabbed me and asked me this and that, as if I knew them well." ”

"yes," Andrew said with a smile, "if they had made friends with you, I think they would have become even more famous." ”

"Ah, yes. Harry gave them a nonchalant look as the group waved at Harry enthusiastically.

"My dear child!" said Professor Trelawney again, her voice small but far away, "those rumors! those stories! savior! Of course, I already knew...... It's always a bad sign, Harry...... But why don't you come to the divination class, which is especially important to you!"

"Ah, Sybil, we all think our lessons are the most important!" said a loud voice, and Slughorn appeared on the other side of Professor Trelawney, his face flushed, his velvet hat a little crooked, with mead in one hand and a huge piece of fruit tart in the other, "but I don't think I've ever seen such a potions genius!"

He looked at Harry with adoring, albeit somewhat bloodshot, "Gifted—like your mother! I've only taught a few students of this aptitude, and I can tell you, Sybil—even Severus—"

Then Slughorn held out an arm, as if out of thin air, hooking Snape out.

"Don't sneak around, come and talk to us, Severus!" Slughorn said with a cheerful burp, "I'm talking about Harry's special talent in Potions! and of course you have taught him for five years!"

Snape was caught in Slughorn's arm around his shoulders and couldn't move, his eyes narrowing as his hooked nose fell to Harry.

"Funny, I never felt like I taught Potter anything. ”

"Oh, that's genius!" Slughorn exclaimed, "didn't you see the living hell potion he gave me in the first lesson—I haven't seen a student do better than him for the first time, I think even you, Severus—"

"Really?" said Snape calmly.

"Remind me, what else did you take, Harry?" Slughorn asked.

"Defence Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbs, ......"

"In a word, all the lessons that the Aurors need to learn. Snape said, with a slight sneer.

"Yes, I just wanted to be an Auror. Harry said challenged.

"You'll be a good Auror!" Slughorn said in a booming voice.

"I don't think you deserve to be an Auror, Harry. Luna said unexpectedly, as everyone looked at her, "The Aurors are part of the Rotten Fangs' conspiracy. I thought everyone knew. They want to use dark magic and gum disease to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within. ”

Hermione chuckled, he had never found Luna to be so cute, and it was so amusing to see Luna look serious, and everyone was surprised, or frightened.

"It's a funny statement, but I don't think it's funny, kid. Slughorn said.

He tried to resolve the embarrassment, and he said to Andrew, "I think this society would be terrible without the Ministry of Magic——— I heard that you only chose three courses this year———?

"——— I don't think so, Professor Slughorn. Snape interrupted, sneering, "I think Andrew is very talented, he even surpasses some of the big names,"

He glanced at Harry again with a mocking expression, "Such a person, even without those ridiculous certificates, I believe he can make a career." ”

Snape would speak for himself, which Andrew did not expect. But for this embarrassing scene, the only thing Andrew can do is to leave decisively. So, he, Hermione, and Luna left the party.

On the way back, Hermione said angrily, "I won't come to such a party again, it's just ......"

"It's unbearable. Andrew continued Hermione's words.
