It's all too common to have a chat with your classmates during dinner. Especially in Gryffindor House, the little lions are mostly easy-going, and there is no distinction between high and low grades.

Alexander took advantage of the situation, and with some deliberate initiative in it, he quickly integrated into Harry's circle.

So, after dinner, Alexander, a freshman who had just made a little noise because of the punishment, naturally mingled with Harry and the others. Although it's a bit far-fetched to say that friends, they are more or less familiar.

When Professor McGonagall had recited her usual words of encouragement, everyone got up and prepared to go to the common room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked together as usual, seemingly discussing something, while Neville habitually followed them, taking on the role of his "little tail" as a matter of course.

Today, however, the journey back to the Gryffindor common room seemed to be a little different. Because of the rare thing, Neville did not stay alone as his weak follower as he had in the past, but had a small companion.

"Excuse me...... Are you Mr. Longbottom? ”

At this time, it was naturally Alexander, and just after Professor McGonagall announced that dinner was over, Earns, who had been staring at him from a short distance, found the right time to give him another look. Somewhat ambivalent in psychological distress, Alexander finally chased after him.

"Uh...... Ah, it's me. Neville hurriedly turned his head to look at Alexander who suddenly appeared from beside him, and said, "Just call me Neville...... Can I help you? ”

His introversion has obviously not changed much, even when facing a junior younger than himself, he can't help but cringe a little. Maybe you can show the courage to be a Gryffindor at a critical moment, but in normal times, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for the rest of your life.

"Oh, okay...... Neville," Alexander said with a tangle of confusion, "I've heard from others that you're doing well in your herb class...... If I have any questions, can I go to you for help? ”

"This ...... Uh-huh," Neville said, "of course...... I mean, if I can help. However, I still recommend that you turn to the book and ...... herbalism Well, I think it's more dependent on textbooks......"

"Is that so?" Alexander blinked, not very good at deceiving people, he said a little dryly, "Thank you for the suggestion...... It's just that I'm just starting to learn, and I'm not very familiar with the content in the textbook...... You know, there are some questions that I don't find easily. ”

Luckily, Neville was clearly more uncomfortable with the sudden chit-chatter than he was, and even a little hard to put into words, let alone notice the stiffness in his tone.

"Oh......" Neville nodded with a stiff neck, "you're right...... If you have any questions, you can always ask me. Well...... But it's the same with asking others, I ...... My grades were very average......"

"Oh, not so!" Alexander hurriedly said, "Everyone says that you have learned very well in herbalism, that ...... Uh, that's right! Neville, do you know the environment in which the Devil's Web grows? I just got this in preview yesterday, but the book doesn't make it clear......"

"Devil's Net? Ah, the book only says 'dark and damp places,' but they do occasionally appear in some of the drier places. They are mainly afraid of light and heat, and if the environment is drier, they can sometimes snatch water from other plants and animals......"

Neville might not be able to answer anything else, but when it comes to herbalism, that's his forte. As soon as he talked about those interesting magical plants, his nerves relaxed, and the conversation box suddenly opened.

Since Neville suddenly became talkative, Alexander, who couldn't interject, breathed a sigh of relief. He listened silently as he slowly followed Neville down the stairs to the common room.

It wasn't until he was about to see the portrait of the Fat Lady that Alexander felt that it would be too late if he didn't interrupt Neville.

“…… Oh! Neville, your knowledge of herbalism is really rich and has taught me a lot. He quickly interjected, "Yes, thank you very much for answering this question for me...... This ......"

Alexander feigned his fumbling in his pocket, then slipped out a piece of chocolate that had already been prepared and shoved it directly into Neville's hand.

"I don't seem to have anything with me...... This chocolate tastes good, so take it as a thank you for helping me! Please ...... Well, please be sure to take ......."

It can be said that everything he does from dinner time onwards is for the sake of this moment. Yes, he was not very used to fooling people, and he suddenly became nervous. Although he tried to pretend to be inadvertently handing Neville the chocolate, and his eyes tried not to look at it, he couldn't help but utter the obvious words "Please take it".

However, where could Neville, who was not in the slightest wary of such things, notice this?

"Oh...... Chocolate? Thank you......" Neville took the chocolate, almost didn't think about anything, just peeled off the outer tin foil and stuffed it into his mouth, and then said vaguely, "If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time...... Oh, I'll only be herbalist......"

As he spoke, Neville's eyes suddenly lit up, and he twisted his mouth and said, "Oh...... This chocolate tastes awesome, where can I buy it? Duke of Honey? ”

"Uh...... I don't know, someone else gave it to me," Alexander looked at him curiously, and after a while asked tentatively, "Is it really delicious?" ”

"Of course," Neville said as if enjoying himself, "hmm...... I've never had such a ...... So...... Oh, how to say it? In a word...... It's so cool! ”

"Really?"

Alexander's eyes widened as he looked closely, as if trying to get something out of Neville. Unfortunately, he didn't see anything different at all, except that Neville seemed to walk much brisker and his face was full of energy.

"If chocolate is indeed infused with elixirs, how will its effect be reflected......" he thought to himself, and couldn't help but have some anticipation.

While Alexander was still thinking for a moment, the entrance to the Gryffindor common room arrived. The students in front of them had already reported the order to open the portrait of the fat lady, and everyone rushed in together. He saw Neville follow the crowd as well, so he hurried a few quick steps to keep up.

The doorway hidden behind the portrait of the fat lady is so big that the students have to go in one by one, which is naturally not in a hurry. Just as Alexander followed Neville to the portrait, he heard a noise coming from the common room.

“…… Let's take a look at this! Fred and George sent me this morning that something new had been developed...... Come on, come on! Let's make a fuss......"

At the dinner table before, Alexander and Harry had been chatting for a while, and now he could hear that it must have been Ron's voice that suddenly started the noise. It's just that Neville, who is tall, is still in front of him at this moment, so that he can't see the details inside.

But in the next moment, Neville, who was walking in front of him, suddenly turned sideways and turned back in the doorway.

"Oh, Alexander...... Just now you talked about the devil's web......"

Neville's words had just begun, but Alexander was horrified to find that the moment Neville turned around, a colorful bright spot flew through the gap that Neville had let out, widening in his eyes, and finally slammed into his head with extraordinary precision.

"Whew"

While Alexander was crying out in pain, accompanied by a series of explosions of "crackling", even though he subconsciously closed his eyes, there was still a large amount of colorful light through his eyelids to light up his entire vision.

It was a firework, an unusually brilliant and dazzling firework that exploded in front of Alexander, and for a moment the door hole was full of splashes of fine brilliance, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

Neville was distracted by the point of light that had just passed by him, and suddenly turned back to the common room to find the source, but he was not affected by it.

Hearing Alexander's cry of pain, he was able to react, and then turned again to help Alexander, who was squatting down with his forehead covered.

"Oh, Alexander...... You...... You okay? ”

Just as he leaned down to help Alexander, the next point of light rushed out of the doorway from behind him, and after crashing into the portrait on the other side of the hallway, it exploded into a fireworks, causing the dog-like old man in the portrait to scurry up.

At the same time, a chaotic commotion was echoed in the common room, and fireworks had completely taken over the entire Gryffindor common room.

Neville, who had just picked up Alexander, heard the chaotic shouting behind him, and his face couldn't help but show a slight dazedness. He had seen the fireworks blooming in the hallway, but apparently he hadn't fully understood what was going on.

When he turned around again to take a look in the common room...... Three points of light passed through the gap between him and the doorway one after another, bypassing him with a slight arc, and then one of them slammed into Alexander's chest as he had just been helped up.

Alexander, who was still covering his forehead, reacted, this time he didn't even have a chance to be surprised, and was directly swallowed mercilessly by the entire fireworks......
