Chapter 158: Either You'll Get Rid of Her
Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students arrived at Hogwarts on their first weekend of the term, and Hogwarts students celebrated their first Hogsmeade Week of the term.
Originally, Hogsmeade Week this semester would not start until two weeks later, but at Zhang's strong suggestion, it became Hogsmeade Week every week from this week until the end of the Triwizard Tournament.
Early in the morning of the weekend, the students of the three schools arrived in this pure wizarding village, which is also famous throughout Europe.
Zhang Xu took Fleur and Gabrielle to the Duke of Honey candy store first.
Walking into Duke Honey's candy store, Gabrielle is like entering heaven, this one wants to taste it, that one wants to try.
In the end, Zhang Xu only allowed Gabrielle to buy three kinds of candy at a time, and she was so angry that she jumped to her feet.
It's not that Zhang Xu is reluctant to spend money, but he is afraid that Gabrielle will eat so uncontrollably this school year and become a little fat girl.
After finally choosing three kinds of candy, Zhang Xu gave money to Gabrielle and asked her to pay for it herself.
"You're too spoiled by Gabrielle." Fleur said as she chose her favorite candy.
"Girls should be more spoiled." Zhang Xu said.
"Do you want a boy or a girl in the future?" Fleur asked with a smile.
Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment by Furong's question, and then looked at Furong speechlessly.
Zhang Xu is only fourteen years old this year, and Furong is only seventeen years old, so it seems too early to discuss this issue.
Harry, who was picking out candy behind Zhang Xu and preparing to visit Blake and Lupin, had a face as red as Ginny's hair beside him.
"Boys and girls are just as good, men and women are equal and well-off." Zhang Xu replied as he fed a licorice wand to Fleur's mouth.
Zhang Xu is a super VIP customer of Duke Honey's candy store, and has the power to taste unlimited food in the store.
"Why don't we find some time to practice how to have children?" Then Zhang Xu said to her in Furong's ear.
Then Fleur blushed and kicked Zhang Xu's calf.
At this time, Harry and Ginny behind Zhang Xu and Ginny were already running to the cashier with red faces.
Ron, who had just finished settling the bill, walked over and took out a bean from the Bibi Duowei bean bag in his hand and put it in his mouth.
"Click", dog food flavored.
Ron handed the bag to Hermione next to her, and Hermione picked one out.
"Click" is also dog food flavored.
"Yo, hello two." Zhang Xu spotted Ron and Hermione and greeted them.
"I feel like I'm having a bad time right now." Ron said indignantly.
"Why, if you encounter something unhappy, say it and make everyone happy." Zhang Xu said.
Ron looked at Zhang Xu with a speechless expression, and then said, "Rita Skeeter, that woman is making up nonsense on the news again." ”
"Oh, the news in the Daily Prophet this morning." Zhang Xu pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said, "Rita Skeeter has a good evaluation of you, full of courage and loyalty to her friends, willing to sacrifice herself to help her friends, and there are many advantages that I don't usually see." Your mother is also mentioned in the news, saying that only the greatest mother can raise your seven wonderful siblings. ”
Rita Skeeter is actually a very principled journalist, and as long as she takes money, she will definitely get things done.
After the wand was tested that day, Zhang Xu received Rita Skeeter in the office. An hour later, the two reached a pure deal for money.
Since getting Scarlett's warning, Zhang Xu has started a series of preparations, he is not a person who sits idly by.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" cloud: "Therefore, the Ming monarch is a virtuous general, so he moves and wins, and success comes from the many, and the prophet also." The prophet shall not be taken from ghosts and gods, nor from things, nor from the degree, but from men, and from those who know the feelings of the enemy. ”
And the principled Rita Skeeter is an excellent "enemy knower", and it is best to collect information about the other party through her.
And the "black material" in these intelligence can also provide Rita Skeeter with material for big news.
Such a win-win thing, Rita Skeeter naturally nodded in agreement.
And today's article in the Daily Prophet about the Triwizard Tournament warriors belongs to Rita Skeeter's gifting service.
At that time, Zhang Xu only mentioned a few words to Rita Skeeter, and she nodded very respectfully.
Rita Skeeter didn't discredit anyone in the news this time, and eighty percent of the entire story was touting Ron, and the rest was almost twenty percent touting Cedric in passing. Fleur and Krum only mention a small paragraph each at the end.
As the host newspaper, it is understandable to tout its competitors. It's just that Rita Skeeter habitually adds fuel to the story.
Perhaps it was Rita Skeeter who found out that Cedric, who was also Hogwarts, had a girlfriend and Ron didn't, so she matched Ron Lalang.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Ron said indignantly, "That woman actually said Hermione was my girlfriend. ”
Zhang Xu glanced at Ron, who was angry, and then at Hermione, who was standing next to Ron frowning, and then said to Ron dryly: "Otherwise, you will follow Hermione." ”
For a moment, the air fell silent.
"I have two coupons for Madame Pardiff's teahouse here," Zhang Xu hit the railroad while it was hot, "you two should go there and discuss it together." ”
After speaking, Zhang Xu took out two coupons for Mrs. Padifu's teahouse, and put them in Seron's hand.
Then Zhang Xu pulled Fleur past the two of them who had entered a state of confusion, and walked straight to the cashier to settle the bill.
Zhang Xu and Fleur pulled Gabrielle out of Duke Honey's door and walked down the streets of Hogsmeade.
Looking at Ron and Hermione, who were walking in front, Fleur smiled and said to Zhang Xu, "Is it good for them that you do this?" ”
"I think it's good," Zhang Xu replied with a smile, "I did divination for the two of them, and they will be happy." ”
As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the three broomsticks bar in front of them, and watched in amazement as Ron and Hermione in front of them walked into Lady Pardiff's teahouse.
Looking at the row of red-haired heads in front of him, Zhang Xu felt that there was a good show to watch today.
Ron had been feeling a bit of a trance since the start of this morning.
Why is this happening...... For the first time, I became a person who was in the limelight. There is news in the newspapers that tout themselves. Two happy things coincide. And these two happiness bring me more happiness. What you get is supposed to be a happy time like a dream...... But why, is this happening......
It's not like Ron hasn't thought about finding a girlfriend.
More and more classmates around him are pairing up, not to mention Harry, who hooked up with his sister early in the morning, but Neville, who was originally dumbfounded, and he recently hooked up with Hannah when he was receiving extracurricular tutoring in herbology in the greenhouse. and his twin brother, who also unknowingly hooked up with the girl in the Quidditch team.
As for which girl he was looking for to be his girlfriend, Ron hadn't thought about it before.
Before, Zhang Xu asked him to get together with Hermione, but Ron just took Zhang Xu's words as a joke.
Today, Zhang Xu once again proposed to let himself from Hermione, and Ron began to think about the feasibility in his heart.
While Ron was thinking, he and Hermione walked into Lady Paddev's teahouse.
Ron had heard of Lady Parddev's teahouse in Hogsmeade, but had never been there, and he didn't know what it was for.
Hermione probably knew, but she didn't say anything, and followed Ron into the teahouse with her head down.
When he walked into the teahouse with Hermione, Ron noticed that there was something different about the atmosphere of the teahouse.
The place in the teahouse was small and foggy, as if everything was decorated with frills or bows.
In particular, Ron found that the guests in the teahouse were only one-on-one, all holding hands.
Ron and Hermione sat down at one of the only remaining tables by the window, and after ordering two cups of coffee from the chubby Lady Padiff, the two fell silent.
Hermione fiddled with the cuffs of her robe with her head down, and Ron looked down at the coffee in front of her, and for a moment neither of them knew what to say.
After a while, Ron and Hermione looked up at the same time, both trying to say something, but stopped at the same time.
It was only then that Ron looked at Hermione from a different angle.
He noticed that after Hermione had healed her front teeth, her whole face suddenly became delicate and attractive, and she no longer looked like a black beaver rat as before.
Ron was a little stunned for a moment.
Faced with Ron's different gaze from before, Hermione's face was hot and she lowered her head.
Ron also noticed that he was strange, and took a sip of coffee to hide his embarrassment.
Ron, who was drinking coffee, turned his head to the window next to him, and was about to organize the language when suddenly a sip of coffee spurted out.
Ron noticed a line of people standing outside the window next to them, looking at him and Hermione.
On the far left are the smiling Weasleys, followed by Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ginny, and Harry with all sorts of weird smiles.
In addition to this, there are Lupin, Blake, Zhang Xu, Fleur and Gabrielle.
In the face of such a strong lineup of onlookers, Ron was so frightened that the coffee cup in his hand almost fell off.
Hermione also looked out of the window after seeing Ron's strange reaction, and after seeing the crowd of onlookers outside the window, she covered her face and rested her head against the table.
Then Zhang Xu used his wand to cast a phantom spell on the onlookers, and they all disappeared into the air one by one.
Then two rows of magically conjured words appeared on the glass window:
Leave us alone and move on!
\(≥0≤)/Come on!
