Chapter 13: Be open and honest

"So...... It's been too long! ”

Start with appetizers and work your way through to the main meal, and then grind and grind until you reach desserts...... Until even with a big appetite like Brandy, who was able to rub his stomach hard and stuff a third vanilla raspberry ice cream into his mouth little by little, Orianna and Katie did not reappear in the auditorium.

At this time, the whole meal process has lasted almost an hour.

Forget about Orianna, it takes so long for Katie to find a toilet? After a full meal, Brandi began to feel a little uneasy, not that he was worried about what danger Katie would encounter - after all, Beauxbatons was no better than Hogwarts, and the founder here should not have been perverted enough to like to keep a basilisk in the sewers of the women's bathroom, but the problem was the purpose of Katie's outing.

She was originally going to peek at her senior sister going to the toilet...... Now that the senior sister is not here, she hasn't come back from the toilet yet......

That is to say, I guess I was caught as a pervert.

Hiss~

On the first day of the academic exchange meeting, Hogwarts was shocked by the same-sex voyeurism in the women's bathroom!

Well, I don't know if Dumbledore will be able to bear it when he sees the front page of the Daily Prophet the next day......

Tsk, it's really fun to think about it~

However, imagine that although Dumbledore had cheated on him for more than a day or two, considering the school's poor reputation and Dumbledore's fragile little heart, Brandi still managed to put down the last bite of ice cream and struggled to get up from his chair.

"Britney? Do you look like you're going out? ”

"yes, go to the toilet, I seem to be eating too much...... Kindness? ”

He subconsciously answered, only to find that Wendy in front of him was still engrossed in searching for all the food related to papaya from the light belt, and even the handsome boy next to her who stared at her with an obsessive look for half an hour didn't have the time to take a look, let alone chat with himself. So he turned around and found Qiu Zhang walking behind him, hearing his words, Qiu Zhang's slightly flushed face seemed to have a relieved expression.

"Gee, that's awesome! Let's go together~"

Qiu Zhang almost trotted over, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to go out. This made Brandi a little confused. ??? This suddenly sighed, I was overwhelmed, what is the situation?

"Britney, help out~"

Qiu Zhang's palm was slightly forced, and his eyes glanced to the side without a trace. He was excited, subconsciously looked sideways, and immediately understood the seriousness of the matter with black lines on his head-

Behind Qiu Zhang, a faint electric shot out a few faint green and faint green eyes, like a wolf's aggressive gaze. They moved quickly and quietly, stealthily weaving through the crowd, trying to surround Brandy from all sides without a trace—a scene like a spy movie. Even Brandi, who had never been in a relationship before, had extremely touching emotional intelligence, was in a state of school uniform and women's clothing, and was even planning to invade Beauxbatons women's toilet to save people, was shocked by the fragrance and indomitable momentum of the single dog that rushed to her face.

Merlin's beard, what the hell are you here to flirt with my sister or catch spies!

"Uh...... Hehehehe......" Brandi laughed dryly, then grabbed Qiu Zhang's arm in turn and walked towards the door of the auditorium without looking back.

"This beauty... We... Let's make a friend~"

Broken French English and giggles still reverberated behind him, and the blades hidden in them pierced Brandi's already fragile heart.

This beauty ......

I'm a girl too, okay? Why don't you even want to embody me in a sentence! Even Wendy's senior sister has a boy next to her, looking at me with squinting eyes, am I not as attractive as a 1.5-meter-5 little short leg with no breast!?

Running outward, Brandi's heart is in the most terrible tangle ever.

………………

"Whew, whew, whew...... It's really dangerous, Britney. ”

"Ah, that's right!"

The auditorium, which was dangerous in every sense of the word, escaped, and the two of them flew all the way they came, running through two or three corridors in succession, before the footsteps behind them disappeared. Qiu Zhang gasped hard and let go of Britney's hand - because someone ate too much and couldn't run fast, he was almost dragged out by Qiu Zhang in the back.

Deep in the hallway, two girls leaned against the wall in two muddy places, gasping heavily, one bite after another. The scene was unbearable for a while......

After a while, after taking a little breath, Qiu Zhang straightened up and looked at Britney with some embarrassment.

"Thank you so much, Britney, for taking you into such a pretentious way."

"It's okay... After all, that kind of situation—" Brandi couldn't help but shudder at the scene of the wolves just now, "Oooh! No wonder Katie had to sneak away under the pretext of looking for Sister Orianna, and she wouldn't go for such a long time, she was already prepared - this cunning guy! ”

"Katie? She also ran out? Qiu Zhang looked at him in surprise.

"Ah...... said that he was going to peep at the sister to go to the toilet......"

"Poof~" Qiu Zhang covered her mouth, her eyes bent into two crescents, "Katie's words, maybe she is serious, but she is usually so aggressive." ”

Brandi looked at her with some surprise. "You know her well?"

"Of course, after all, there will be a lot of classes to be taken together, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor have always had a good relationship, and of course I am very ...... about the sisters in the same grade," said with a smile, Qiu Zhang was suddenly stunned, and at the same time stopped at the same time Brandi, who was taking care of his clothes.

Both men realized that the time had finally come for them to be open and honest about the issues they had been deliberately avoiding.

"Senior Sister Qiuzhang, I'm ......"

"Just call me Autumn, Britney." Qiu Zhang said indifferently, as if he already knew it. "When Professor Dumbledore spoke to me the afternoon before I came here, I wondered why I had chosen to be involved in this secret mission to the school. It wasn't until you showed up in the Transfiguration Classroom and started to speak......"

"I'm sorry... Autumn..."Brandi lowered his head.

"What is there to be sorry for, this is not at all like you used to be." Qiu Zhang stretched out his hand and helped Brandi, who was full of confusion, straighten his collar. "Although I have no idea what you are here for this time, I will try to help you."

Me before? Brandi wasn't sure what she had done before...... In his impression, he seemed to have talked to Qiu Zhang once, or was everyone thought that he liked Qiu Zhang - did she mean that she was very brave to express her heart at that time?

Thinking about it, Brandi's face turned red.

"So what do we do now?" After a casual conversation, the two of them began to plan their next steps - unlike Hogwarts, where a meal was quick and easy, Beauxbatons' meal was infinarily slow. The boys and girls here are very attentive to each dish, and they seem to be more inclined to chat with their companions elegantly while feeling the brilliance of different delicacies on the taste buds of the tongue like a gourmand rather than simply filling their stomachs with these dazzling foods.

To put it bluntly, it's really ink. Don't look at the dessert now, but it is conservatively estimated that the two of them will have to hang out for at least half an hour.

“…… Go find Katie, if she really didn't come out to find Oriana as you said, it would be strange not to see her for so long. Brandi frowned, "She asked Beauxbatons about the location of the student bathroom before she left, and she wasn't a road idiot like Parvati, so she shouldn't get lost." I was worried that she was caught as a bad guy......"

"Then let's go to the bathroom first." Qiu Zhang turned around and pulled Brandi towards a quiet fork in the road. "I just asked them where the bathroom is, and if you take a shortcut, you'll get there soon - those seniors are actually pretty good, but they're just a little too enthusiastic,"

Qiu Zhang must be a smart and empathetic girl, as she can tell from a boy who can't speak English fluently where the bathroom is. And it's still so charming...... Turning around a corner behind Qiu Zhang, Brandi thought vaguely, and then inadvertently whispered what was in his heart.

"Autumn, you must be so popular at Hogwarts."

Qiu Zhang's body paused slightly, she turned to the side, and said funny, "You're really suspicious, Britney, you've already come to ask me once—and you have to have a little more faith in yourself and your little boyfriend once in a while." ”

Little boyfriend? Brandi blinked, and then his face turned pale—as if suddenly he realized the terrible misunderstanding that might have existed between the two from the beginning.

"Oh, don't worry, didn't I already tell you." Seeing that Brandi still looked puzzled, Qiu Zhang shook his hair a little uneasily, and a shy expression appeared on his beautiful side face. "I already had a boyfriend a few months ago~"

"Huh?!"

Brandi, who was already at a loss, was blown up by this more heavyweight news.

"Didn't I tell you once, don't suffer like that... Actually, I think you two - hmm! Qiu Zhang turned the corner, and Brandi subconsciously followed. As a result, he collided with Akihari who stopped around the corner.

"What's wrong?" He staggered a step and asked absentmindedly.

"Senior sister?" Qiu Zhang hesitated, Brandi raised his head, and suddenly found that just a dozen steps in front of them, a beautiful and mature female figure was standing quietly with her back to them, her back carrying the airtight door panel wrapped in black cloth as always.

So quiet, is she looking at something?

"Huh?" Hearing Qiu Zhang's call, Orianna turned her head vigilantly and found that it was Brandi and them, and her body relaxed. Brandi keenly saw that she was holding the stack of loose-leaf books, one of which had been torn off.

"It's you, the banquet is over?"

"Not yet, Senpai, we're just out for a walk - excuse me, have you seen Katie Bell? She just said she was coming to you. ”

"Little Sister Bell? I just came down from the tower, and I didn't see any of us at Hogwarts on the way. Oriana didn't mean to be in a hurry, and she relaxed and put her hands in her pockets, and the charming smile on her face was back on her face. It's okay, it's safe here, little sister Bell is probably just lost, and she should be able to come back when she remembers to ask for help with the portrait on the wall. Let's go back first-oops, it's so tiring to patrol, Sister Britney~Remember to massage me for a while~"

There was no doubt that it was Sister Ouliana.

Brandi's head, which had been a little struggling because of the previous news, forced himself to see Oriana's appearance clearly.

That's right, the looks, the tone, the behavior, the clothes, the box behind the back, and the large piece of black cloth that wrapped, there was no doubt about her.

But......

He looked a little confused at Oriana, who had lightly put her red lips in his ear and spoke dangerously, and his eyes crossed over her fair and smooth cheeks to the end of the corridor that Orianna had been staring at just now—the stairs leading to the second floor and the basement, where the lights were bright and there was nothing.

So what is it exactly?

Until he returned to the auditorium with Qiu Zhang and Senior Sister, he couldn't clear out the inexplicable strange thoughts that came to his heart at that moment. And at the end of the banquet, Katie, who had been lost in the road of life for a long time, rushed in from outside the auditorium in a reckless manner...... He had long since forgotten about it - something more serious and important was waiting for him to choose.

It's time to go to the girls' dormitory!
