Winter has long since passed, spring has arrived, and the snow around Hogwarts has completely melted. The catastrophe that had occurred in the vicinity of the Ice Castle not long ago had been silently erased from all traces, as if it had been a faded dream that belonged to Maca alone.

Of course, in the few areas around the area where wizards are active, the snow only ends near Hogwarts Castle.

In places like Hogsmeade, which lives above the snow line all year round, the rate of snow melt is nowhere near as fast as the annual snowfall. Even though this village, which only lives by wizards, seems to have warmed up a little recently, it is still full of white at a glance.

Today is Valentine's Day, and every year on this day, Hogsmeade Day is reasonably adjusted according to the specific situation.

Ever since wizards and Muggles lived in isolation, the wizarding world's fertility rate had fallen to a limit, and wizards had generally lived a longer life expectancy than Muggles, so much so that some of the negative effects of an aging population were exacerbated.

If it weren't for the fact that wizards still have all kinds of spells, and many capable house-elves to support basic production, the lack of production capacity alone would probably be enough to collapse the entire closed magical society.

So, in terms of the long-term development of the magical community in various countries, it is like having a few more children or something...... In principle, the Ministry of Magic is encouraging.

Although it is not usually explicitly stated, the advance arrangement of Hogsmeade Day on Valentine's Day probably has some meaning to promote the interaction between boys and girls.

Well, that's right, but in the eyes of those old-fashioned lineage diehards, things like having a noble son early are absolutely unavoidable. They believe that the quality of the bloodline needs the same attention as the purity of the bloodline, and that the age of childbearing can make the wizard's magical bloodline better passed on.

However, whether quantity or quality is more important will not be mentioned for the time being. At least today, it's a time for the young wizards of Hogwarts to take the opportunity to relax, and that must not be wrong.

Perhaps because of the recent hectic study life, the male and female students were in a particularly high mood this morning, and as soon as Filch, who was in charge of collecting the notes, stood at the gate, there were already many young wizards lined up in front of him.

It is worth mentioning that the young man in the first position at this time looks a little familiar, and his red hair is even hairy, and he seems to have come to guard as soon as he got up.

"Ron Weasley."

There was no need for much urging at all, and as soon as Professor McGonagall finished talking about the precautions, the boy who was at the top of the line immediately reported his name, and then hurriedly stuffed the parental opinion form in his hand into Filch's hand.

"Well, okay...... Yes, Weasley. Filch squinted at the crumpled piece of paper several times before waving his hand and saying as usual, "Go outside and wait in the carriage, or go yourself...... NextNextNext! ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Ron muttered a rambling phrase and hurried past Filch to the castle gates. When Filch heard this, he glanced at his back with an inexplicable expression.

"Thank you?"

Just as Filch was feeling a little puzzled, a voice sounded in his ears, startling him.

“…… Sir, here is my opinion form! ”

"Huh? Oh...... Okay......" Filch retracted his gaze and turned his head, quickly forgetting the slightest doubt in his mind.

……

Ron, who had been waiting in the foyer early, looked impatient when he went out, but as soon as he left the school gate, he stopped again and waited at the door.

Not long after, the students who had lined up behind him just now all passed by and went to Hogsmeade Village together. Whenever someone passed by Ron, they would glance at him with a puzzled expression, as if they were bewildered by his unusual behavior that had been delayed for so long.

Ron didn't seem used to the gaze, and soon he involuntarily shrank behind the trunk of a tree on the side of the road.

To be honest, he's actually been waiting here for a long time. But when he saw the figure that appeared at the school gate behind the tree, his whole body trembled violently, and he couldn't even move his steps.

"To ...... Are you really going? He couldn't help but retreat again.

However, maybe he wasn't quite ready, but the other party quickly discovered where he was. The next moment, I saw that figure running towards this side with a fast speed and powerful momentum.

"Oh, Rollo! My Rollo, are you waiting for me? I thought you went first...... It's really, oh, sorry! I think I'm wrong about you...... Oh! My dear Rollo! ”

It was a girl, a girl in love who was so passionate that she exuded a high breath all over her body.

She hurried at great strides, and approached ...... It's closer! It's time to stop, right? Should...... Oh, she pounced! ”

Ron stiffened as the girl threw himself on the grass, the scent of grass mixed with the smell of perfume and poured straight into his nose, choking his whole body.

"Oh, Rollo, you still smell so good! Rolloe—"

The girl held him tightly, and there was a tendency to use him as a bedman, putting all the weight of her body on him.

"Merlin is on top, I seem to be out of breath......" There were not many thoughts left in his head, and he could only make a simple judgment that was incomplete, "it's crazy...... It's crazy......"

At this moment, he felt that his upper body suddenly lightened, and his vision, which had been dimmed by the feeling of suffocation, lit up again. He gasped for air, his eyes resting blankly above him, where there was a clear, serene blue sky.

But in the next second, the blue sky disappeared, replaced by a round face.

"You...... La, Lavender, what are you going to do? He asked, confused.

"Honey, have you forgotten again? You should call me 'Levin'—"

Before the words fell, he only saw that the face was instantly enlarged in front of his eyes, and he was about to stick to him face to face.

"No, oh-no! Wait, stop—"

He quickly turned his head and covered his mouth with both hands by the way.

"Why, my dear!" The girl's mouth suddenly flattened, and she said affectionately, "I don't think I can wait any longer, you know, I've been waiting all night!" My Rollo, we should kiss right now, and I want you to feel how much I love you! ”

"No, I...... No," he said, shaking his head vigorously, "yes...... I—I mean to say...... By the way, it's not a good place for kissing, someone will see it! ”

"It's totally okay!" The girl didn't care, "Remember?" You must remember that...... Our first kiss was in the foyer of the school, wasn't it? It was at the end of class that day that I touched you with a full fifteen minutes of love, and then you agreed to be with me – oh! How romantic that is! Let's do it again! ”

"Ten, fifteen points...... Ahem, of course I haven't forgotten. But......" he tried to calm his head, but his hands were still covering his mouth, and he didn't mean to put it down at all, "Hmm...... I mean, today is a rare day, so let's enjoy it first...... Right, enjoy Hogsmeade? ”

“…… And then kissing, right? The girl immediately picked up, but the topic was again turned back to kissing, "Dear Rollo, you are such a romantic man - brew before you enjoy, that sounds so good!" ”

"Uh...... Yes, yes, that's it. In order to please the current situation first, he didn't seem to care about anything, "How romantic is that!" ”

"yes!" The girl nodded, but she still straddled Ron's waist and didn't mean to climb down at all, "But dear Rollo, don't you think...... Is all the time we spend together kissing a terrible waste? ”

"I ...... Well, I think it's better to brew it...... Yes, brewing, just like brewing, the longer it lasts, the more mellow it becomes? ”

He was talking, but he couldn't even figure out what the hell he was talking about, so he could only say whatever he wanted.

But just such a random sentence seemed to poke at the itch in the girl's heart.

"Oh! My Rollo—" Lavender exclaimed in her tired voice, "I can't believe you know how to taste wine...... What a mature gentleman you are! Yes, you have a point, and I should probably bear with it a little longer. Yes, I'll try to hold back for my Rollo! ”

Lavender spoke, finally retiring from him, still muttering subtle arguments such as "the charm of a man" and "the difference between wine and love."

"Well, then!" After smoothing her clothes, she stretched out her hand to her lover on the ground, "Rollo, get up quickly!" Although the weather is much warmer today, it will still be a little cold after lying on the ground for a long time. ”

"That's really...... No, I need to cheer up, it's an important day. Ron whispered to himself, cheering himself up, "Well, let's ...... Let's go? ”

"Of course, Parvati is waiting for us right in front!" Lavender nodded, but without hesitation, one arm hooked the crook of Ron's arm, clinging to his side, "Where do you think we should go first today?" We'll have to come back after lunch, but there's still a lot of homework to be done! ”

Their "little couple" is so tired of being together, walking forward with crooked steps.
