Chapter 592: Ginny's Touch
In Hogsmeade, the dazzling sunlight and thick snow on the side of the road don't come as a surprise. This is true all year round, at best the difference between "very cold", "very cold" and "slightly cold". And when you get used to this cold breeze, it's actually relatively warm today.
This village, made up entirely of wizards, is small, and the roads in the village are just one main road and four relatively narrow side roads. Wizards were naturally much more efficient at clearing snow from the roads than Muggles, so even if it snowed every once in a while, every road for people to walk on was clean.
Right now, under the rising sun in the morning, the slightly wet road reflects the bright golden light, and walking on it makes people feel that their feet are paved with gold bricks.
At this time, the number of people coming and going on the streets of the village is gradually increasing, and needless to say, the children are about to start their wares cleaning again.
At this moment, at the intersection of the road leading to Hogwarts, a pair of boys and girls separated from each other by a few feet were slowly walking towards each other. For some reason, they seemed to be a little stiff when they walked.
When they got close enough, they found that it was Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley, who had gone through many twists and turns to get together.
Truth be told, Harry had already noticed them walking down the road from Hogwarts Castle and barely said a word. He himself felt uncomfortable, because since the two of them had pierced the layer of paper between them, he felt that something invisible and untouchable had replaced the layer of paper, which made himself and Ginny a little more embarrassed when they were alone.
Yes, he didn't know what he should say to be appropriate. Let's not mention pleasing girls! At least he had to say something, he couldn't let the two of them always be at such a stalemate, right?
"Come to think of it, you need to say something to liven up the atmosphere!" Harry secretly cheered himself up.
But just as he wanted to subconsciously discuss with Ginny what the weather was like today, he didn't expect Ginny to speak before him.
"Harry," the pretty red-haired girl pursed her lips and said softly, "I know what you're thinking, don't think too much." We've known each other for so long, you just do it like you normally......"
"Uh," Harry said, trying harder to push harder, "Ginny, I don't think I can do anything to you anymore...... That's so unfair to you. Well...... By the way, Ginny, what do you think we should go to Duke Honey first? While there are not too many people now, we can buy some snacks and eat while shopping. ”
"Harry—"
Ginny was a little thrilled by Harry's words.
Think about it! Over the years, she had been one-sidedly in love with Harry, and she knew that Harry didn't seem to have any feelings for her. In order not to embarrass Harry, she did not take the initiative to confide in Harry once.
It had been too long for Ginny to have felt so intense about Harry that she had been washed away by time, and had become dull and blurred.
In order not to completely forget this emotion that fades with the years, she even found a boyfriend she didn't like very much, and used another more broken relationship to remind herself not to forget her original intention.
In this world, how many pure first loves can be preserved into the future? Not to mention others, at least Ginny really did.
When Harry said the words "It's not fair to you", Ginny's deep emotion suddenly burst, and when her nose was sore, she even felt the urge to cry.
How long has she been waiting for this day?
“…… Okay, let's go to Duke Honey first. Ginny sniffed, then took a step closer to Harry's side.
"What, what's wrong...... Seems like that sentence was just right? But then what? What should I say next when the iron is hot......" Harry strode his legs in a daze, and the closer Ginny got closer he felt that his hands and feet were a little disobedient, and that he didn't even seem to have enough brains, "...... No, I can't think about anything more, my mind goes blank. ”
Not to mention that Harry walked like a Muggle robot and had rust on every joint on his body, Ginny was walking and gradually remembered something from his childhood.
It was before she enrolled at Hogwarts...... No, she remembered that Ron hadn't even received his acceptance letter back then!
At that time, she saw a long article in one of her father's old newspapers, and she was fascinated by a magical photo on it. It was a baby baby who was still swaddling and had a strange lightning-shaped scar on his forehead, which looked particularly chic.
At that age, Ginny was not fully literate—at least she was a little worse off reading the news, but she couldn't recognize all the words in the article, but she could read the numbers! When she found out that the baby was only a year older than herself, she really became interested.
What is the reason for such a young baby to make headlines?
Ginny, who was reading and reading in a little way, ran to her mother to read the newspaper to her. And after that, she learned for the first time that there was a boy named "Harry Potter", who was the "savior" of the entire British wizarding world!
In fact, there are many articles documenting Harry's past, and they are not limited to a slightly yellowed Daily Prophet. After the Dark Lord was destroyed, the magazines, newspapers, and even books of that period were like a carnival, and Harry Potter's defeat of the Dark Lord was almost overwhelming.
It was for this reason that Harry was now known to so many people, and he could be recognized by just one look at the scar on his forehead.
And for this reason, after Ginny went through the various versions of the story about Harry, she became more and more adored with the eldest brother who was born a year before herself.
When the whole world is promoting a hero, he's a hero - at least that's what kids Ginny's age basically think, not even Malfoy before school.
So, when Harry went to the Weasley's house, Ginny was so excited that she didn't know what to do. On that day, both excitement and shyness took over Ginny's little brain and managed to squeeze her head!
Ginny had thought that might be the most regrettable thing she would ever regret in her life, because she had subconsciously fled back to her room when her mind was in turmoil.
Sometimes, once you miss the first time, the difficulty of thinking about the second time increases dramatically. And when the second and third times missed the opportunity over and over again, even though she has become more and more mature and more generous, the difficulty of speaking again seems to stay at the highest point forever.
To this day, not so long ago, she almost thought that her affection for Harry would probably never be reciprocated in her lifetime.
It's just that I didn't expect happiness to come so unexpectedly and so unexpectedly.
The two walked quietly side by side on the street, one mind full of blanks, the other full of emotion and memories. Although the thoughts in their chests were diametrically opposed, they were surprisingly tacit in their actions, and neither of them said anything to break the peace with a little warmth.
Of course, if you have a destination, you will eventually reach it. Even though both of them walked very slowly, Hogsmeade Village was only a little bigger, and within a few minutes the Duke of Honey's candy store was there.
"Let's go! Go in and have a look......" Harley paused and led Ginny through the door of Duke Honey, "What do you want to do?" I think the chocolate balls here are very good, and the strawberry custard filling is delicious. ”
As Harry had said before, because it was still early, it was the little wizards who were in a hurry. So there were a lot of people, but they weren't crowded, even the Duke of Honey, who was the most popular with children.
"Hmm......" Ginny looked around the shop, looking a little hesitant.
The Weasleys have never been wealthy, and the pocket money they give is naturally very small. Ginny, as the only daughter in the family, had more money than her brothers, but that wasn't much.
Today she actually wanted to add a learning tool in passing - her old quill tip has been a bit wrong lately, and it's time to get a new one.
“…… By the way, the weather has warmed up a lot today, and I thought I could try coconut sorbet again. ”
She said that, and after greeting Harry, she walked briskly towards the refrigerated business cabinet. Duke Honey's coconut sorbet is a pretty pink color with some faint glow on the surface, which looks quite interesting. And, more importantly, they're cheap!
"Oh, that's not bad either." Harry followed Ginny and shouted to the boss, "Please give us two pieces of coconut sorbet, thank you!" ”
"Ah, I'll just pay for mine......"
Ginny was about to take the money, only to find that Harry had handed out a shiny gold galleon. That coconut sorbet can't even use a silver sorbet, isn't it too much to use gold gallons? Didn't he bring change?
"No, no, I'll just pay for it." Harry said, "Go and see what else you want...... Sir, take another jar of chocolate balls, the kind of strawberry custard. ”
"How can this work! Mine or let me pay for it myself-"
When the two of them were struggling with such a trivial matter, in the direction where they came, a figure was slowly walking towards this side with his friends......
