I've already fallen asleep, and if I cast a wakefulness spell again, it won't have much effect. Looking at Hermione who had fallen in his arms, Arthur sighed.

Looking up and looking around, not to mention the Gryffindor students, not even a ghost.

Arthur waved his wand and used the levitation charm to lead Hermione towards the magic staircase, and when he walked to the portrait of the fat lady in the Gryffindor common room, he saw that the portrait was empty, and the fat lady was nowhere to be seen.

With a sad face, he turned to look at Hermione in a comatose state, and began to curse in his heart the man who gave Hermione the drink.

"This wine tastes so familiar... Damn, isn't that the smell of wine in Stiencana's office? When did she lure Hermione into drinking? ”

Recalling the mysterious smile of Stiencana as he walked out of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Arthur instantly frowned.

The Gryffindor common room was now inaccessible and could not put Hermione back in his dorm, and knowing that Lilith was Hermione's drunken murderer, Arthur snorted coldly and led Hermione towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

"Damn! This guy is just going to make a fool of me! ”

Coming to the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, Arthur's face became gloomy when he looked at the large piece of parchment on the door that read, "I'm out of school, I'll come back tomorrow for something."

Hermione behind her won't wake up for a while, Arthur has no choice but to take Hermione and continue to walk towards the Transfiguration Professor's office, Professor McGonagall is the dean of Gryffindor House, even if the fat lady is not in the entrance portrait, Professor McGonagall has a way to open the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.

"Mistakenly, how did I forget that Professor McGonagall was going out with Headmaster Dumbledore. None of them will come back tonight..."

Looking at the closed office door, Arthur patted his forehead speechlessly, scolding himself for being by Lilith's pranks, today is Friday, most of the professors have gone home, and Snape is the only professor on duty.

It was impossible to go to Snape, what difference would that be between sending Hermione directly to a confinement cell. Underage drinking is strictly forbidden in both the Muggle world and the wizarding world.

I can't go to the school hospital, Filch's office is on the first floor, and if you want to get to the school hospital, you have to go through Filch's office.

"Hermione probably doesn't want anyone else to know about her drinking..."

After thinking about it, Arthur could only take Hermione and walk towards the Slytherin common room. Before that could happen, however, Hermione needed to be disguised, so William draped his coat with the Slytherin emblem over Hermione's body.

"Glory!"

The password was correct, and the statue didn't find out that Hermione was a Gryffindor, so William helped Hermione into the Slytherin common room.

I thought I would have to explain it to Pansy, but the common room was empty. While Pansy was away, Arthur hurriedly took Hermione into his dorm.

After placing Hermione on his bed and covering her tightly with the quilt, Arthur took out his diary and prepared to use his writing skills to make Hermione wake up quickly. But just then, there was a knock on the door from outside the house.

"Arthur, are you back?"

It's Pansy! Arthur frowned, and quickly put down the diary and came to the door.

"What's wrong? Pansy. ”

After opening the door, Arthur saw Pansy standing in the doorway wearing a beautiful red Lolita dress with a lace headband on her head.

"That's... I'm alone, a little scared... Can you make me..."

"It's an opportunity for you to grow up quickly, and you have to face your fears."

Before Pansy could finish what was in his heart, Arthur refused very decisively. The absurdity of the afternoon is still fresh in my mind, and if Pansy is allowed to live in her dorm tonight, then what will it be?

Also, Hermione was in there. Pansy would be very angry if she saw this.

"Can you sit with me in the fireplace for a while? You can do your thing, just sit for a while..."

Hearing Arthur's rejection, Pansy was a little disappointed, and some reluctantly asked Arthur to stay with her in the common room for a little longer.

"Yes, you can."

When Arthur heard this, he immediately agreed. At present, she has Hermione in her bed, and she doesn't like to sleep in other people's beds. Spending some time in the break room is just that.

After getting the response she wanted, Pansy jumped up happily, like a fairy dancing with flowers.

"It's beautiful tonight, but aren't you cold with bare legs?"

On the couch in front of the fireplace, Arthur was holding a copy of Intermediate Transfiguration and reading it carefully, but Pansy walked back and forth in front of him a few times. Arthur understood that Pansy was trying to get him to compliment himself on his outfit today.

"Hee-hee, it's a bit of a thing. But this way, I won't be cold! ”

Pansy, who finally heard Arthur praise himself for his beauty, quickly sat down next to Arthur and put her calf on Arthur's body.

Although she has not grown up yet, her calves already have the smoothness of youth, the lightness of vitality, and the dream of going to the world.

The two little feet, which were not wearing socks and were not red from the cold, shook a few times flexibly in front of Arthur, and their toes were like tender lotus root buds, which was extremely cute. Pansy tilted her head slightly, revealing a provocative moan.

I retract that afternoon. You haven't changed at all! ”

Arthur sighed and covered it with his wizarding robes. Pansy is still the same Pansy, straightforward and bold, just following her own heart and doing whatever she wants.

"Anyway, I'll try to make myself stronger, let myself be recognized by you, always follow your side, and become.... Hee-hee~"

Her plan had succeeded, Pansy smiled happily. Although the ultimate goal was not achieved, Arthur was not angry, and she was already very happy.

"Here you go, this is the Intermediate Transfiguration Technique I borrowed from the library, if you don't finish reading the first chapter, I won't be used to you in the future."

With that, Arthur handed Pansy the book in his hand and threatened.

"Uh-huh, I will!"

Pansy nodded like a good student, holding the book above her head and reading it, and after a while she found it too uncomfortable to read half-lying, but she didn't want her legs to leave Arthur.

She twisted again and looked sideways.

And Arthur saw that Pansy was really reading carefully, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

As long as you listen to him, it doesn't matter, such as this more ambiguous behavior, he can also accept it.

Picking up a book about Defence Against the Dark Arts class from the table on the side of the couch again, Arthur also entered the reading time.

Time passed, and when Arthur finished reading the book, he found that Pansy was asleep, and the copy of "Intermediate Transfiguration" had fallen to the ground at some point.

Arthur looked up at the clock on the fireplace, and it was already half past ten in the evening.

"Hermione must have woken up..."

Muttering quietly, Arthur carefully lifted Pansy's calf and stood up. Looking at Pansy in her sleep, she was cute and cute, and he smiled unconsciously.

In order to prevent himself from waking Pansy up, he will be entangled by her again. Arthur put his arms around Pansy and led her towards her dorm.

After settling into Pansy, Arthur belatedly returned to his dormitory.

"Haven't you woken up yet?"

Arthur crouched down and took a closer look at Hermione's face, noticing that she showed no signs of consciousness, and muttered quietly.

Finding that Hermione didn't know when to kick the quilt away, in order to keep her from catching a cold, Arthur put the quilt on her again, afraid that she would continue to be dishonest. This time, she also deliberately wrapped her two little feet, which were different from Pansy's, but just as beautiful.

The Slytherin common room is on the second basement level, next to the bottom of the Black Lagoon, and although it is heated by a fireplace, it is still much colder than the Gryffindor common room.

If Hermione wasn't covered, she would most likely catch a cold.

"Arthur, why are you so annoying, why are you doing this to me!"

"I'm sorry, Hermione, what are you talking about?"

Hermione's sudden murmur made Arthur think she had woken up. But when he turned his head to look at her face, he realized that Hermione was just talking in her sleep.

"Mom said she liked someone, and that's what it feels like. But I like you, and I hate you... What to do? ”

“......”

Listening to Hermione's dream words, Arthur fell silent. How could he be confessed by two girls in one day...

"Hey..."

With a long sigh, Arthur walked out of the dormitory again, taking his journal to the common room.

Sitting by the fireplace and writing in her journal that Hermione would have a good dream and wake up at 5 a.m.

He then tucked his journal into his wizard's robe and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next day, Hermione woke up punctually, tiptoed to Arthur, and walked out of the Slytherin common room after a while.

......

"Arthur, is my movement standard?"

In an empty classroom, Pansy waves her wand, turns the water glass on her desk into a dancing mouse, and asks Arthur.

"It's perfect, but when you chanted the mantra just now, some of it was mispronounced. Follow me along..."

Arthur first compliments Pansy, then points out Pansy's problems and begins to teach her the most correct spell pronunciation.

Half an hour had passed by when Pansy had finally learned the most standard way of pronouncing it.

"That's all for today. I have something to go out for. You have to practice well alone. ”

"Can't I follow you?" Pansy asked, a little disappointed.

"I told you before that I was going to meet my partner, the goblin of Gringotts." Arthur touched Pansy's head and comforted.

"Then you come back early!"

"Yes."

After parting ways with Pansy, Arthur walked out of the castle, where the heavy snow that had fallen two days earlier had been swept away by Hagrid. When Arthur arrived at the gates of Hogwarts School, Jim Baggins and two of his men were already standing in front of a wooden cart towed by Thestrals.

】

"I've been waiting." Arthur approached Jim Baggins and spoke.

"We've just arrived, let's go."

Jim Baggins was on crutches, nodded slightly, and then took Arthur to this wooden cart with a very fairy aesthetic decoration.

The outside of the wooden cart is adorned with fine metal bronze, which does not look very large, but when Arthur walks in, he realizes that there is a hole inside. More than 80 square meters of large space, exquisite patterned carpets, expensive silk decorations on the walls, and the heads of various precious magical creatures, the most conspicuous is the skeleton of the dragon in the front.

When William sat down, a house-elf came over with a tray and placed a cup of steaming milk in front of Arthur and a cup of alpine black tea in front of Jim Baggins.

"Arthur, your new book has been printed, and I have sent people to send it to bookstores in various countries, and by next Tuesday, your book will be available to wizards."

Jim Baggins took a slight sip of black tea and then continued slowly.

Because he negotiated a cooperation with Arthur, and his "Lord of the Rings" was recognized by the high-ranking members of the clan. With this feat, Jim successfully defeated his rivals at the annual meeting of the elves and became a true top leader.

However, because there was no suitable junior who was qualified for the position of manager of Gringotts in England, he continued to serve as manager until a new manager was sent over by the clan before he could return to the elf ancestral land.

"The Lord of the Rings is a fantastic book! I spent the whole night reading it and forgot to rest... Hehe. ”

"But... Arthur, it doesn't seem to be finished. Did the ring end up being destroyed? ”

Jim Baggins placed the beautiful white porcelain teacup on the saucer and looked at Arthur with half-squinted eyes.

"Well, it's not over yet. But these plots are enough. Now it's up to the market to respond. If the wizards like it, then I'll keep writing. ”

Arthur put the cup with only a third of the milk left on the table, and said calmly.

Traditional, not the network of later generations, needs so many words, hundreds of thousands of words are enough.

And the plot of "The Lord of the Rings" is very long, if all of them are written, a book will not be bound at all, and this book is a custom text written for goblins, as long as the number of words is enough.

"Well, there's no problem with your consideration. But I have a hunch that this book of yours will definitely explode. ”

Jim Baggins chuckled, and he realized that the young man in front of him was not only a genius, but also had the potential to be a shrewd businessman.

Thinking of his reaction after watching "The Lord of the Rings", he became more and more unable to understand how Arthur came up with such an epic plot. It's not just something that can be created by inspiration, it also requires a lot of experience.

I can't read it, I can't read it!

Jim Baggins, who has 100 years of experience, can't see what kind of person he is from the behavior of the teenager in front of him.

"Thank you for your good words."

Arthur smiled slightly and looked out the window, at this time the wooden cart was already slowly driving towards Gringotts in Diagon Lane, pulled by Thestrals.

Outside the window, the white expanse, the heavy snow that had stopped for a long time fell on this land again. The dark clouds with no end in sight indicate that this heavy snowfall will not end easily.
