Rove stood in the hallway and whistled softly, crisply melodious.

"Which college is this? I even skipped class in the daytime, wandered in the corridor, and was careful to deduct points. ”

When Shirley heard the familiar voice, she turned around suddenly, and when she saw Rove, her face showed joy that could not be concealed, and she walked towards the young man gently, and said with a smile:

"I'm just skipping a class, someone has been absent for two months, do you think he should be expelled from Hogwarts?"

"Someone was absent from school for two months?" Rove pretended to be surprised and said, "This kind of student is really lawless, I raise my hands to support the expulsion!" ”

He smiled and said, "I'll let him pack up his things and leave the school, this beautiful young lady, do you think you are still satisfied?" ”

"The punishment is a bit harsh." Shirley blinked and smiled softly in a soft voice:

"You can stay in school for a period of time without expulsion...... I'll see for myself how he performs. ”

Rove looked at the ponytail girl, spread his arms, squinted and smiled softly:

"Come on, you can observe me from the outside in now, and you don't have to wait for later."

Shirley hummed heavily in a nasal voice, she could no longer control her excitement, she was both happy and aggrieved, she ran to the boy with a cry and a smile, hugged him, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Rove, you're finally back!"

Rove, who stumbled a little, also smiled and hugged Shirley, sniffed vigorously next to the girl's ponytail, and said softly:

"I'm sorry I promised you to come back sooner, but I'm so late."

"It's okay...... Safe...... It's good to be back...... I'm so worried about you! Shirley spoke intermittently, pear blossoms with rain.

Rove slid his hands down, grabbed the girl's delicate waist, lifted her slightly, and circled the hallway.

Shirley didn't struggle, she didn't resist, but her earlobes were already red, and she tried her best to calm her mind and not let her chest tremble too much.

The ponytail girl was nervous, and said softly, "Don't be here...... Let others see it. ”

"It's fine." Rove smiled: "I just looked, there is no one else here." ”

"That stone statue is staring at us......"

Rove put Shirley down, turned his head, and said with a dumb smile: "It's just a stupid dripping mouth stone beast, out of the way." ”

"You two are stupid." The dripping stone beast guarding the entrance to the principal's office muttered dissatisfiedly, "You two are stupid! ”

“……”

The boy and girl looked at each other and grinned in unison.

Rove took a step back to take a closer look at Shirley.

The ponytail girl is still wearing a simple black robe, taller, but not much, a beautiful face, not seen for a few months, more and more amazing.

Rove stared at her for a long time, reached out to help Shirley wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smoothed a strand of hair from the corner of her forehead behind her ear, and said with a smile:

"Here, laugh again."

The ponytail girl burst into tears and laughed, she tidied up her messy clothes, bent down to pick up the black box on the ground, and said softly, "Your box." ”

"You carry it first."

Rove did not take the box, but took out the cross pendant from his neck, handed it back to Shirley, and said:

"Thank you for your amulet for protecting me all the way."

Shirley took the warm pendant and hung it back around her neck, and she smiled, "Shall we take a walk?" ”

Rove nodded, and walked side by side with Shirley, strolling leisurely down the empty hallway, stop-and-go, aimlessly.

Shirley asked curiously, "How did you come back on a ball-flying machine?" ”

"It's not a flying machine, it's a magic item that resembles a time-turner." Rove explains:

"My time turner was given away, so I had to ride that thing back, but it was so unstable that it left me off for a full two months."

Rov said, and suddenly smiled mysteriously:

"I was supposed to go back to Halloween last year, but due to an accident, I accidentally used a time turner and went back to the distant past."

"You can't guess what era I'm back in."

The ponytail girl thought about it seriously and guessed: "The era of the Big Four? ”

Rove was dumbfounded, his face full of shock, and said, "Can you guess this?!" ”

Shirley covered her mouth and chuckled, "I couldn't have guessed, but you said that, anyway, it's so unbelievable?" ”

Rove exclaimed sincerely: "Amazing! ”

"So, you're really going back a thousand years?" Shirley still blinked in surprise.

"yes, it's really back a thousand years ago." Rove nodded:

"I met Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor, and I met Professor Trelawney's great-great-grandmother, Cassandra.

She's just a little girl about the same age as us.

I also helped Gryffindor retrieve the sword, attended Ravenclaw's funeral, and witnessed Professor Binns turn into a ghost......"

Rov gushed about his experience to the ponytailed girl, and he finally laughed:

"It's a long story, it's going to be told for a long time, don't you go back to the dormitory tonight, I'll tell you a good story in the box?"

Shirley smiled and didn't speak, just quietly raised her face and stared at Rove.

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to delay your class during the day, so I'll talk to you at night." Rove looked like a decent man and assured:

"I have absolutely no bad intentions! Swear in the name of Professor Hufflepuff! ”

"I'd love to stay, but Professor McGonagall won't agree." Shirley regretted.

"What does it have to do with Professor McGonagall?" Rove wondered.

"Professor McGonagall knows you're back." Shirley smiled and said:

"With her temper, she'll definitely go to the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw common rooms tonight to see if we're in our dorms."

Rove was a little speechless and said:

"She's so lenient, a Gryffindor dean, even if she manages Hermione, can she still manage our Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw houses?"

Shirley pursed her lips and smiled, "Professor McGonagall is still our Vice Chancellor. ”

“……”

Rove sighed and grabbed the handle of his box.

Shirley couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not tired. ”

Rove looked dazed.

Shirley smiled: "If you are really afraid that I will be tired, you can carry the box yourself and let me pull my hands out." ”

The girl had been carrying the handle of the box, but now Rov was also holding the handle, and then he was holding her hand.

Rove didn't withdraw his hand, but instead clenched her little hand and said softly:

"Shirley, I was almost stuck a thousand years ago and couldn't come back...... Good to see you. ”

Shirley fell silent, and after a moment, she raised her head, looked at Rove in a daze, bit her lip and tried not to let the tears flow, she said with a serious expression:

"Rove, I knew you'd be back...... If you don't come back, I'll go to the Ministry of Magic to steal the time-turner and look for you...... Even if I search for all the past, I will always meet you again! ”

Rove stroked Shirley's head and said gently:

"Thank you."
