Harry and Hermione were probably the little wizards who had the most dealings with Professor Bryan in private, and they both knew very well that Professor Bryan was not particularly fond of showing off his majesty in private, and every time he came to this office, Professor Brian would kindly invite him to sit down before they began to talk about things formally.

This time, however, Professor Bryan only made the two of them stand there, looking at him with unkind eyes, and the subtle change made both Harry and Hermione feel terrified.

It seems that the trouble they had caused today did annoy Professor Bryan.

It's not surprising that while Professor Blaine was strict about punishing them for sneaking out of school, they knew very well that the nature of the injury to the Beauxbatons warriors was even more serious.

I don't know if Madame Maxim had come to the castle to inquire about it, but Harry mustered up the courage to sneak a glance at Professor Bryan behind his desk, and saw a face that was not happy or angry in the flickering candle shadow, which made Harry even more worried.

"I'm sorry, Professor--"

Hermione seemed a little out of breath, "We. . . We've got something—"

Amosta's face softened, he knew that Harry and Hermione had probably gone to find Ron when they returned to Hogwarts, and predictably, they probably had some conflict.

Amosta shook his head undeniably,

"How's it going, Hermione, are you ready for the Triwizard Tournament?"

Hermione's body shuddered violently, her heart racing in her chest—Hagrid had only told her and Harry that Professor Bryan had locked down the competition program tightly, but Hagrid still wanted to help her get the inside scoop.

"I—I'm looking at previous game materials—" Hermione stammered, "I thought, maybe it would help." ”

"Hmm-"

Looking at Hermione, who was a little too nervous, Amosta raised an eyebrow.

Under normal circumstances, it is understandable to give Hermione a little extra help, after all, she is the youngest of the Warriors, and it is not her intention to be a Warrior However, after thinking about it, Amosta extinguished this plan again, regarding the process of the Warriors' game, whether it is him or Dumbledore, it is better not to interfere too much, and she may not have no one to help.

"Gryffindor needs to deduct twenty points for you two to sneak out of school, of course, confinement is inevitable, but considering that you are under the pressure of the competition right now, I won't make additional penalties-"

Wow!

Harry and Hermione looked up in unison and glared at Professor Bryan in disbelief, Harry said in surprise,

"Is that all, Professor!"

"Of course it won't be that simple, have you forgotten Miss Fleur Delacour who was injured by you?"

Harry, whose expression immediately became dull, made Amosta laugh, it was already late, and he didn't plan to talk to Harry and Hermione more, so he said directly,

"Harry, I know you didn't mean to hurt Miss Delacul, and normally I shouldn't punish you for this, but you should know that she's a Beauxbatons warrior after all, and her identity is sensitive, and if you take this incident for granted, it's probably not appropriate, so Hogwarts should apologize to her-"

Even if Professor Bryan didn't say it, Harry and Hermione understood it, and if they put themselves in their shoes, Fleur was indeed unlucky, she had only been at Hogwarts for a week, and she had already suffered two injuries in a row, although they were caused by accidents, but it was inevitable that Beauxbatons would have an opinion.

"What do you need us to do, Professor?"

Since Professor Bryan said so, there must be something they need to do.

"I have prepared a gift for Miss Delacour, a dress--"

Amosta knocked on the gift box in front of him, looked at Harry and said,

"I wish you could give it to her with your own hands, as an apology, and of course, in your name, Harry--"

Harry and Hermione then set their eyes on the box in front of Professor Blaine, Harry thought that this box was given to Professor Bryan by someone else, after all, with Professor Bryan's current fame, it is not a strange thing to receive a gift from a fan, but they didn't expect that Professor Bryan bought a gift to apologize to Fleur on his behalf.

Harry's mouth opened, panicked and moved.

"--If Miss Delacour asks why you bought this, you can tell him that you asked me how to apologize, and that I gave advice to go ahead, it's getting late, use the invisibility cloak, and if you get caught by other professors and prefects, I won't admit it-"

Harry and Hermione walked out of Professor Blaine's office in a daze, and it wasn't until they went down to the foyer and were stirred up by the cold wind outside the castle that Harry suddenly realized.

"Do you think I should return the money I paid for the gift to Professor Brian, Hermione?"

Harry did have a good question, and Hermione couldn't give an accurate answer for a while.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't have made Professor Bryan pay for his mistakes, but Hermione thinks that Professor Bryan must have taken some responsibility for himself, so he took the initiative to buy the gift.

The glow from the windows of the rooms in the castle wasn't enough to light up the grounds, and the campus was pitch black, and Harry and Hermione stumbled to Beauxbatons' carriage to the sound of ghosts crying wolf, the grass was slippery and muddy from the daytime rain because of the cloaks of invisibility, and they fell several times on the road, and their robes were covered in muddy water.

Since Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrived at Hogwarts, no one has walked into their quarters. Beauxbatons' carriage seemed to have some kind of vigilance around it, and as soon as the two men approached the carriage door, the door with two golden criss-crossed wands opened on its own, and a boy in a light blue robe poked his head out of the crack in the door vigilantly.

"Hogwarts students, I remember you, you are the second champion of Hogwarts!"

The boy spotted Hermione and Harry standing under the golden spiral staircase, and he easily recognized Hermione, so he became more alert,

"What's the matter with you?"

"We want to meet Fleur Delacour, well, because of the day--"

Harry took a deep breath of cold air and said unnaturally.

"Daytime things?"

The boy at Beauxbatons was stunned,

"Did anything happen during the day?"

His question made Harry and Hermione wonder, could it be that Fleur hadn't said anything about her injury again? However, during the day, many people witnessed this scene. However, it seems that the people in the three broomsticks bar at the time were indeed Durmstrang people.

Hermione shrewdly pounded Harry's ribs,

"We're here to deliver something to Miss Delacour. It was something she bought at Hogsmeade during the day, um, but she forgot to take it, and we happened to meet—"

"Oh, didn't that elf send everything-"

The boy muttered, a little unhappily. However, he didn't question Hermione's claim, and after a few words of waiting, he slammed the door shut.

The lights in the carriage clearly reflected the white air seeping from the noses of the two people, and it was so cold that Harry could even hear the sound of ice chips squeezing and colliding with each other as they floated on the surface of the rippling black lake.

Before the two of them could freeze into popsicles, Fleur finally appeared, and she pushed open the carriage door with a thick cloak, but the cold wind that seeped in made her shiver.

Fleur couldn't be happy with the cold climate, so she wrapped herself tightly in her cloak and walked down the spiral staircase carefully, staring suspiciously at the box Harry was holding.

"Ravi said you sent me what I left on Hogsmeade?"

"Ahem-" Harry's face was a little unnatural, "actually, oh, we bought you a gift, well, apologies, because of the day's events." ”

"Gifts?"

I don't know if it's because her nose hasn't fully recovered, Fleur's voice is a little nasal, which makes her voice more hoarse than usual, she blinked in surprise, looking at the muddy water on Harry and Hermione, her face was a little gentle,

"Oh, it's not necessary, it was just an accident-"

But then, she asked with great interest,

"What are you going to send me?"

"A dress!" Harry said hurriedly.

Professor Bryan had already taken great pains, and it would be a bit unreasonable for them to not even give away a gift. He held the gift box in his arms to Fleur and looked at her eagerly.

And perhaps it was Harry's sincerity that impressed Fleur, and she didn't intend to accept it, and she reached through the crack in her cloak and stretched out her hand in a light blue blouse, gently pulled the ribbon of the gift box, and then lifted the side of the box.

"Oh, it's--"

With just one glance, Fleur confirmed that it was the dress she valued at the Fengya brand wizard costume store during the day, and she called out in surprise, but in an instant, she realized that something was wrong.

"How did you know I liked this dress?"

So, Harry hurriedly said the answer given by Professor Brian, but unexpectedly, Fleur did not let go of this topic, she looked at him, and the suspicion in her eyes did not dissipate,

"Really—"

Fleur muttered,

"This dress is not cheap, if it is too expensive as an apology gift, how much did you spend?"

Belch--

Harry froze, Professor Bryan didn't answer the question, so he looked at Hermione without knowing how to answer.

"We knew the owner of the clothing store very well and she gave us a discount for only a few dozen Galleons --"

At the critical moment, Hermione said with a blushing face and a heartbeat, she expected that this dress should not be cheap.

In Harry's opinion, Hermione's answer was perfect, but for some reason, Fleur burst out laughing when she heard this answer, and even reached out to take the gift from Harry's hand with joy, which also caused her cloak to slide to the ground.

With a single glance, Harry's face turned red, and he quickly looked away, not daring to look again, but Fleur himself leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek, and Harry immediately felt that the place where Fleur had kissed became hot!

Then, Fleur wanted to kiss Hermione.

"Oh, don't do that!"

Frightened, Hermione jumped out of the way, glaring at Fleur in horror.

"Okay--"

Fleur smiled and shrugged her shoulders, she picked up the cloak on the ground and covered herself again,

"Thank you, I accept your apology--"

Fleur walked up the golden spiral staircase with the gift box in her hand, but before she could get into the carriage, she suddenly turned around and smiled at a stunned Harry,

"Thank you, Mr. Brian, for me--"
