Chapter 15: John the Cooked
Emily's strange reaction left Link a little confused.
But that didn't stop him from continuing to stare at the other party.
Link is not a shy little boy, and he is nervous when he meets a beautiful girl.
Looking at beautiful women is originally 'as long as you are not embarrassed, then the other party is embarrassed', so Link has no burden on this at all.
He even felt that Emily's blushing look was even cuter than she usually was!
......
"That's all for today, class. ”
Two hours later, Professor McGonagall shook the textbook in her hand and left the classroom with a neat step.
And as she walked away, the originally dead classroom gradually became active.
Emily Victoria couldn't wait to get up and flee the classroom, and the Slytherins followed her, some of them glaring at Link viciously as they passed by.
And it wasn't until they were gone that the Hufflepuffs breathed a sigh of relief.
Truth be told, their appearance reminded Link of some kind of herbivore that had escaped from a predator's mouth.
The Hufflepuff classmates were still slowly packing their things, while Link had already gotten up and was ready to head to the auditorium.
It's lunchtime, the bread and milk in the morning have dissipated after hours of Transfiguration classes, and Link can't wait to feel the hunger in his belly.
Link had just left the classroom when a small hand grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Wait for me, Link! Huhuhu~ You're running too fast!"
John gasped, clutching a rucksack in his hand, which, judging by the outline of the book squeezed out of it, should not be Link's spatial pocket.
"What's the matter?"
Link said bluntly.
He doesn't like children, and he is not very good at communicating with children, so for those ordinary classmates and roommates, Link feels that it is enough to maintain only the most basic social relationship between them.
But John obviously did not fully understand the hidden meaning of Link's words, and when he heard that he looked a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and rubbed his hands back and forth on the corners of his clothes, and after a while, he said in an inaudible voice:
"Link, you...... Isn't your relationship with Cedric's seniors very good? ”
"Well, it's okay, what's wrong?"
"That's right, Link, can you help me say a few nice things to Cedric? The Hufflepuff Quidditch school selection will begin in a few days, and I've always wanted to be a batter. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between the two instantly became a little dull.
Link didn't say a word, just looked at John quietly.
John, on the other hand, was so nervous that he was sweating on his forehead.
Finally, after thinking for a moment, Link nodded and said:
"Yes, but I can't guarantee how much it will help you, and you know Cedric's character. ”
"Great! Thank you! Link!"
Looking at John's flushed face and dancing hands, Link shook his head imperceptibly, and then continued to walk towards the auditorium.
He had thought that John would leave on his own once his goal was achieved, after all, his reputation in Hufflepuff had been terrible lately, and no one would want to stay with him unless necessary.
But it seems that because of the excitement, John still follows Link, and keeps telling Link about Quidditch.
This made Link very helpless, he was really not interested in Quidditch, so he could only keep a cold face all the way, 'mmmmmmmmmmmm
Fortunately, John's emotional intelligence is not so low as to be outrageous.
It wasn't until the two of them arrived at the auditorium by the suspended staircase that he finally changed the topic and said with a determined face:
"Link, you must have gone to make up for class during the holidays, right?"
"Make-up classes?"
"yes, or you're going to be so good this year?"
John's words made Link a little embarrassed, he didn't know if he had made up for the original owner's holidays, but in order not to show his stuffing, he could only continue to 'uh-huh-ah' perfunctory.
John apparently misunderstood Link's meaning, and he sat down at the long Hufflepuff table with Link, and muttered as he tore a chicken leg from the roast chicken that suddenly appeared on the plate in front of him, and muttered:
"I'm really envious of you, Link, you can continue to use spells when you go home from vacation. Unlike a pure Muggle kid like me, the wand really became a useless stick as soon as he got home. ”
Link on the other side had also started to eat, but John's words caught his attention.
Link asked after swallowing the food in his mouth:
"Can't you use spells after the holidays?"
"Of course, have you forgotten? Headmaster Dumbledore said something about it at the end of last year. No young wizard is allowed to use spells when they return home, saying that this is to prevent us from accidentally casting spells by mistake. It is said that they also put something called Tracer on our wand, and as soon as we use magic the Headmaster they will know about it and expel us!" John said as he bit the flesh of his mouth, "They say so, but everyone who understands it! This rule is only for Muggle-born students like me! The so-called Tracer has no way to cast magic. Others, as long as there are other wizards in the house, can use magic as they please!, this is really unfair!"
"Is that so?"
Link muttered.
He didn't know how to comfort the other party at the moment.
I can only say that I was lucky enough not to directly cross over to become a Muggle student, otherwise I would have been deprived of the right to use magic spells during the holidays.
Fortunately, John only complained to Link for a few words, and after finishing speaking, his attention was all attracted by the food in front of him, and he began to fight with the roast chicken.
This made Link breathe a sigh of relief, and he concentrated on eating.
One thing to say, Link's meal was not pleasant, because the food in the country is really not good!
Although it is not to the point of daily fish and chips as it is said on the Internet, the recipe is monotonous but it is true.
In Link's own experience, it's been almost four days since he arrived at Hogwarts, and during those four days, he has seen potatoes and various roasts at almost every meal.
Although everyone around Link thinks that potatoes are a vegetable, Link feels that in the eyes of the people, potatoes may have become their real staple food for a long time.
After all, you may not be able to eat bread at Hogwarts sometimes, but potatoes are a real meal!
It's still good to eat once or two of this kind of stuff once in a while, but the experience of eating one meal every day is not very good.
Looks like we need to find time to go to the kitchen. ’
Link, who had not eaten a bite of the roast chicken in front of him, thought.
