Passing through the meadows and Hagrid's hunting lodge, the tall pines and cypresses of the Forbidden Forest were bathed in sunlight, and the snails had grown to six feet, and they were entrenched in the fence in front of the hut, their tails hissing and spewing flames, and Hermione could smell the strong smell of rotten fish and shrimp as she passed.

She tugged at her hair all the way, the damn frizzy long hair just wouldn't conform to the flat area, and though she had barely tried the smoothing charm, as soon as she crossed the meadow, her hair began to curl again, and Hermione had to try to smooth it out in frustration.

She didn't know why Ning An would ask her out again so quickly, oh my God, they just separated last night, did he also want to think like him, thinking about me?

Hermione thought uneasily, her heart seemed to be thrown into the air, fluttering, as if it was about to fly away at any moment, but she couldn't find a place to stay, so it was inevitable that it would be empty.

The two moods were like the torment of ice and fire, which made her inexplicably bored.

She should have waited for another two days, she had already planned to go to the library today to check and see if there was any magic or potion that could completely change her frizzy hair, and her eyebrows should be trimmed slightly, but Ning An seemed to have said that she liked her eyebrows, fortunately her teeth had been trimmed, otherwise she really didn't dare to imagine what Ning An would do with her front teeth......

But he seems to have seen his front teeth in the first grade......

Hermione saw Hagrid come out of the hut with his teeth in his hands and walk straight towards a large pile of fried tail snails.

Thanks to the rattling tails and the stench of the snails, neither Hagrid nor Tooth noticed that a girl had snuck into the Forbidden Forest.

But the Forbidden Forest is so big, where should I go to find him?

While Hermione was still thinking like this, she saw the boy standing under a tall fir tree, half of his body illuminated by the soft sunlight.

He stood there smiling, the expression on his face the same as yesterday, his mouth slightly open, as if calling a familiar name

"Come here, Jane—"

Hermione's shuang/leg seemed to disobey the call, and she walked slowly towards him step by step, and her eyes could not take her eyes off that face for a moment, which was an experience that had never been experienced before, so that "Miss Know-it-all" felt extremely panicked.

She seemed to have fallen under a spell she had never heard of before, she had never read about it in a book, and there was any spell that could put people in such a state.

"You...... What's the matter......"

Stupid! As soon as she opened her mouth, Hermione regretted it, her tongue was like a knot, and she clumsily said something that she thought was inexplicable, there was no worse opening sentence than this, well, now her only advantage of being smart and clever was gone, and now she probably looked like a fool/zi in her eyes.

Hermione lowered her head in frustration, like a deflated ball.

"I miss you."

Ning An's words, straightforwardly without the slightest concealment, he just stood there, looking at the girl who was walking towards him step by step, his eyes stared at each other without blinking, the expression on his face was a little displeased, as if he was dissatisfied with the girl's avoidance of the girl's gaze.

He stepped forward, feeling that there was a surging emotion in his heart that could no longer be hidden, and for the first time he wanted to say something so impulsively, he gently lifted Hermione's chin up so that their eyes could meet again.

Her brown eyes were clear and confused, as if she was shocked by Ning An's words just now, she covered her mouth with one hand, and couldn't believe that Ning An would say such a straightforward thing.

Her heart was pounding, and she felt that all this was incredible, like a dream, and she was extremely happy to think that yes, this is what she wanted, so that time would stand still in this moment forever.

"You don't know, I was thinking about you all night yesterday—"

Ning An's words made Hermione's soul tremble, she was past her 15th birthday, 15 years old, and she might have had a love story or two in a secondary school in London that was enough to be a conversation point, but for the young witch, whether she was busy with her studies or stayed with Harry Ron for too long, she simply didn't have time to start her first love.

The sudden love words caught people off guard, and Hermione was stunned, like a sculpture, standing there, the yellow leaves on the soles of her feet were rubbed against her black leather shoes, and she couldn't see anything else in her eyes except for the black pupils.

"Hermione, I don't know if it scares you, but last night's date made me understand a lot, and I can't fully express my feelings, it's amazing, even if you know a lot of spells, it won't help much."

Although Ning An tried to make his words as easy as possible, his voice was also a little trembling, and he swallowed his saliva and took a deep breath to keep himself calm.

Don't panic, I wasn't so nervous when I faced the Kraken.

"I had a very happy date last night, never, we talked about poetry, Muggle history, their culture, or all the magic that was hard to do, no one could speculate like the two of us, you know if Christmas Eve never ends, we can talk forever, we can always talk."

There is always something to talk about, Hermione's heart floated all of a sudden, as if she was going to ascend to the sky, yes, isn't that it, the two of them have an unparalleled tacit understanding, every topic, every idea is full of surprises and inspiration, they are the best combination, that kind of feeling together, and ordinary friends are different.

It's just that there is always something to talk about, he likes to talk, and she likes to listen to him.

"I realize, it turns out that I've always liked you, and I've actually liked you since we first met."

Ning An stared at Hermione, her eyes didn't blink, her face was already red and hot, and she wanted a piece of soldering iron that had been burned for a long time.

"I like your cleverness, I like your strength, I like your maverick, I like your sincerity and bravery, even your frizzy hair, and your big teeth that were there not long ago."

Hermione seemed to hear her heart thumping, thumping, thumping, a powerful and rapid crash, coming, she knew what he was going to say next, focusing on schoolwork but it didn't mean she was a white/chi, how could she not hear that this was a prelude to confession?

He asked me out, did he confess, did he agree, did he refuse? Hermione's mind was a mess, she thought she had more time to think, more room to prepare, but she didn't expect Ning An to confess to herself so quickly.

All this ...... It's too fast...... It's like a train traveling at high speed that has exceeded the limit, and it seems that it is in danger of getting off the track at any time.

So reject him?

No, don't!

Hermione's heart struggled and cried, she had never been so determined, oh my God, she would refuse if she was crazy, she didn't want to refuse, even if reason told her that she should refuse, it wouldn't end well, but her heart seemed to be enchanted, in case, even if there was even a little hope, maybe they could go on forever, maybe they could go on some small village in Scotland, and just live like this, he and her, the two of them, could stay together forever, anyway, they would always have something to talk about.

Let reason go away, just this once, she wanted to do it according to her instinct that she didn't know if it was or maybe even ethereal, although she did so, and in the end she got a bad result, she might die, but if she didn't, it would be more uncomfortable than dying.

"I like you, Hermione...... I like you, Jane ......."

Ning An's exhaled hot breath had even reached Hermione's ears, and she could hear the breath coming in and out of his mouth and nose.

"Be my girlfriend."

After saying the last words, Ning An felt as if there was a block in his chest, and he didn't know why, he shouldn't have confessed so quickly, but when he looked at Hermione, wearing a gray cashmere skirt, a dark sweater and small leather shoes, he couldn't help but feel it.

At that moment, he understood the true feeling in his heart, he had never liked a girl so much, yes, he liked her and wanted her to be his girlfriend.

Hermione felt like the whole world was spinning, she was about to suffocate with happiness, if anyone else said something like this, she would have thought it was insane or disgusting, but when it came out of Ning'an's mouth, everything was so beautiful and wonderful.

Her heart was beating faster than ever, as if it was about to burst, and Mei stared at Ning An, as if she wanted to imprint his appearance in her mind.

Be his girlfriend, once she agrees, then their relationship will be completely different, no longer that hazy ambiguous feeling, but completely determined the relationship, and each other has become the only one for each other.

He will be hers, and he will also belong to Ning An.

Promise, what are you waiting for?

No, you should be sensible, it won't end well with Ning An!

The noise in her mind made Hermione panic, she had never felt that her brain was so messy, as if there were thousands of people arguing in her ears at the same time, and she couldn't help but cover her head.

I like Ning An too, I want to be with him!

But he's not for you, he's a bad boy, he's a dark wizard, and you're not going to end well with him, a calm and rational voice ringing in her head, constantly reminding Hermione, like a block, obscuring everything in front of her.

So...... Do you want to reject him......

With a pain in her heart, Hermione saw a figure in a trance, a girl with long hair, black hair draped behind her head, and a gentle and sweet smile.

Whose hand was she holding, Hermione looked over, it was Ning An, and he was also smiling-

The two of them looked at each other very sweetly, and Hermione saw the girl's appearance clearly, it was a face very similar to Ning An, so beautiful, it was Qiu Zhang!

The heart was screwed together, and it produced an unprecedented colic.

No, I don't want that—Hermione shouted, and she breathed a sigh of relief as Qiu Zhang disappeared, but Ning An picked up another girl.

Her blonde hair was smooth and natural, much stronger than her frizzy brown hair, and she had beautiful blue eyes and snow-white skin as if she were a baby.

Daphne? Greengrass!

Hermione felt that something was leaving her, it was Ning An, she was going to lose him, and if she refused here, she would lose him forever.

"No, I don't want it!"

Hermione shouted, she suddenly sobered up, her head was soaked in sweat, and in front of her was Ning An's surprised and disappointed face, he seemed to have expected it, but the lost emotion was obvious to anyone.

"Oh, that's okay...... I think...... It's that I'm in too much of a hurry...... Did I scare you...... I'm sorry...... Hermione...... Are we still friends......? ”

"No—"

Hermione rushed forward, there was only a step between her and him, but Ning An had already turned half of her body, and Hermione felt that something was digging in her heart, a shovel, a small shovel? Looking at Ning An's gloomy expression, her heart was being hollowed out little by little.

"No, I'm not saying no-"

She hugged Ning An, with unprecedented force, her wildly beating heart finally quieted down, Qiu Zhang's shadow and Daphne's shadow all turned into bubbles and shattered.

The person holding Ning An now is himself, his Jane, not someone else.

"I didn't say no......"

With her head buried in her chest, Hermione had never spoken in such a tone, even with her own parents, rarely in such a semi-coquettish tone.

She felt as if she was sick, suffering from some kind of disease that would change people's temperament, and she didn't even know herself, but why was she so happy? My heart was warm and hot, as if it was about to melt.

"What did you say?"

Ning An's expression came to life again, and he also reached out to hold Hermione in his arms, feeling the strength of the girl holding him, and the loss and uneasiness in his heart were gradually dispelled by the sunlight shining overhead.

"I mean—"

Hermione looked up, her hair was jumping, it had scratched the tip of his chin, and I didn't know if he would be annoyed, it seemed that it was indeed much worse than Daphne and Qiu Zhang, always unkempt, and even Ginny was much better looking than her own hair.

She pouted, thinking about what she didn't have, and slowly whispered:

"I do...... What I want to say is...... I'm willing to be your girlfriend. ”

Saying the words in his heart, the whole person was a lot more relaxed, Hermione leaned against Ning An's warm chest, inexplicably relieved, feeling the two arms of her own lightly, eager to take them into her arms.

This person is holding himself now, not Qiu Zhang, not Daphne, why would he agree to him, Hermione understood, if he rejected him, there would be other girls like him, even if he was a bad guy, if he saw him with other girls, he would be worse than dead.

Hermione knew her heart at this moment.

"This ...... It's simply amazing! ”

Ning An lifted Hermione up and hugged her in her arms, he was a little incoherent, extremely disappointed, and in a blink of an eye, she was desperate, she didn't reject herself, she agreed, she agreed to be her girlfriend!

"Scared the hell out of me...... Jane, I thought you were going to say no! You...... It can't be intentional! ”

Ning An gently pinched her soft waist, making Hermione tremble, and pushed him away again, Ning An hurriedly pulled her back and held her firmly in his arms.

In the quiet of the forbidden forest in the past, there were surprisingly bursts of happy laughter today, startling the night owls who had not slept all night last night, and flew away from the branches with a coo, until ten minutes later, they returned to calm.
