154. Valentine's Day, a letter, a funeral
Coming out of the Room of Requirement, Scott, walking through the castle, felt that the atmosphere of Hogwarts was a strange day.
It was only when he came to the auditorium for breakfast that he learned the answer from Eddie.
"Tomorrow is Valentine's Day." Eddie looked at him in surprise, "You don't know. ”
"There's been so much going on lately......"
Scott explained, looking around in passing.
Valentine's Day......
No wonder there are more boys and girls talking and laughing together, and there is a beautiful atmosphere floating in the air......
"Huh."
Hearing Scott's words, Roger scoffed.
"Seriously......"
He said as he nibbled on bread.
"I'm worried about the three of you."
He looked at Scott, then at Eddie, and then at Milton, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
"You three haven't been in a relationship yet."
He deliberately looked surprised.
"I'm asexual."
Milton took out the words he had learned from Scott and gaged Roger's mouth.
"I think so."
Roger nodded approvingly, looking at Scott and Eddie again.
"I just like money."
Eddie patted his backpack on a nearby stool and smiled smugly.
"On Valentine's Day, I'm planning to make a big buck."
“…… You haven't grown up yet. ”
Roger labeled him as not growing up and looked at Scott again.
“……”
Scott ate slowly, with his knife and fork, oblivious to his gaze.
"I see." Roger took the initiative and said, "You just like to learn." ”
"Nope."
Scott put down his knife and fork, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth reservedly.
"Learning is just a way to acquire knowledge, what I like is knowledge."
Roger had a choked expression.
"The way you look now, you're so badly beaten." The corners of his mouth twitched.
Eddie and Milton both nodded in agreement.
"Okay."
Scott stopped pretending.
"In love?" He thought for a moment, "I'm busy, so I'm not willing to spend time and energy on a precarious relationship for a while. ”
"That's what you mean by being in love?" Roger was dumbfounded.
Scott looked at him, "Is there a problem?" ”
"Nope."
Roger shook his head, gave him a thumbs up, and turned to the Hufflepuff table to find Caccini.
"What does Roger mean?"
Scott turned to ask Eddie and Milton.
The boys shook their heads in confusion.
"I want to ...... I know what he means. ”
Peneno, who was sitting across from them, said.
Scott, all three of them looked at her.
"Oh, you're thinking too complicated, Scott."
Peneno said with a smile.
"Love is love, you just need to enjoy the sweetness of love, and it's not marriage."
The other girl also laughed, "But if it's you, you don't have time to date, and you only focus on studying, so you might make your girlfriend angry!" ”
"Running a precarious relationship." Peneno couldn't help but laugh out loud as he learned Scott's words, "You're talking too seriously, it's not a research topic. ”
Saying yes, the girls around her burst into laughter.
Scott shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
He felt he wasn't wrong.
Falling in love will definitely affect the speed of your progress.
On Sunday, Valentine's Day, the same long table in the auditorium.
A flock of owls flew over everyone's heads, constantly dropping all kinds of colorful gifts and letters.
Scott received a pile of chocolates and a letter.
"It's!"
The three roommates stared at the letter in his hand with wide eyes.
"Pink envelope." Milton muttered.
"Delicate fonts." Eddie smirked.
"And the stamp of the rose." Roger winked his eyebrows.
Then they said in unison, "It's a love letter!" ”
Their voices attracted more curious glances, and Scott hurriedly put the letter in his pocket.
"Oh! Take it out and take a look, Scott. Roger was still wincing.
"I don't know who wrote it." Milton laughed and said, "Probably a Ravenclaw girl." ”
"Maybe it's a Gryffindor." Eddie also speculated.
"It's none of your business."
Scott began to concentrate on his meal, ignoring their teasing.
After breakfast, Scott found an empty classroom with no one and opened the letter, which he quickly read.
This is a letter of apology.
The letter was written by the girl who used to call him "Ravenclaw's Hound."
She wanted to apologize to Scott for the nickname.
Of course, this is also a letter to express good feelings.
But the other party did not sign it, and Scott did not know who the girl who wrote the letter was.
Scott knew that if he wanted to find the other party, he just had to ask Jacob's boy.
But he didn't want to do that.
Like he said, he's really not interested in love these days.
Putting the letter away, Scott quickly put the matter behind him.
He sat in his seat in the empty classroom and turned his head to look out the window at the Forbidden Forest in the distance.
He remembered his raven, Rimbaud, who probably never came back.
I don't know what exactly it went through.
Scott got up and left the classroom, walked out of the castle, and finally came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"Try it."
He muttered, took out his wand and waved it, imagining Rimbaud in his mind.
"Rimbaud flies!"
He chanted the incantation aloud and began to wait.
He waited for a few minutes, and finally saw a black dot fly out of the Forbidden Forest and roll down to the ground at his feet.
Scott bent down to pick up the tattered piece of wood, which had become its original form.
It seems that it was attacked.
Scott felt the marks of the spell on the wooden block, and casually put it back in the deformed lizard leather pouch around his waist.
After glancing into the Forbidden Forest again, Scott turned to leave.
It wasn't long before he met Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Hello, Scott!"
Harry saw him and immediately walked quickly in front of him.
"Hello, Harry." Scott smiled, "Ron, Hermione. ”
"Oh, hello, you finally didn't call us Weasley and Granger." Roger smiled at him.
"I received your Christmas presents." "I think we're already friends," Scott said. ”
At the mention of Christmas presents, Ron probably remembered the greeting card he had given him, and suddenly blushed a little.
"Oh, and thank you for the Christmas present, Scott." Hermione said.
"The oral care kit you sent is very useful." Scott also said politely.
At this point, Harry leaned closer, "Scott, is that really Slytherin's daughter?" ”
Scott called the three of them curious, and nodded, "Of course, do you think Dumbledore will lie?" ”
"Of course not!" Ron immediately affirmed, "I've said it a long time ago, those reporters can't be trusted!" ”
"I just want to know why she's alive to be here!" Hermione said.
"Where are you going?" Scott changed the subject.
"Oh, we're going to Hagrid."
Harry's expression was a little odd.
"He wrote to me and invited us to the funeral."
"Funeral?" Scott raised an eyebrow.
"He said his best friend's family living in the Forbidden Forest had died tragically......"
Harry's expression grew stranger.
"To be honest, those tears on that letter made me a little reluctant to go."
"Oh, Harry!" Hermione said sternly, "You can't say that, Hagrid is pathetic enough!" ”
"Who knew Hagrid's best friend...... What are they...... He liked some of the fanged and clawed beasts, and thought they were cute. ”
Ron gave a helpless look.
