Chapter 529

Heavy rain fell outside the window, and the curtains were blown backward.

Jia Siting closed the window, and the cabin returned to quiet and warmth.

"Sorry, Harry, I probably won't be able to make it either. Look at this pumpkin king; I want to carve a lounge inside it."

Jia Siting looked apologetic.

"It's, it's okay."

Harry was even more disappointed; he shouldn't have agreed so early.

"I, I also..."

Nawei also stammered a refusal.

Harry sat dejectedly on his seat, his head slightly lowered, looking a bit pitiful.

"This..."

Luo En fell into a dilemma, and just as he was struggling, he happened to see Xiang Xien sighing.

"You agreed, Harry?"

Xiang Xien asked.

"Yes, I think I can tell the Sir that I might have some other things to do..."

Harry said in a low voice.

"A word once spoken cannot be taken back."

Xiang Hemin reminded Harry in an overbearing manner,

"You said you were going to the Deathday Party, so you can't go back on it."

"I think... yes."

Harry said slowly, which instead made Xiang Hemin feel embarrassed and try to make up for it:

"I mean..."

"You mean we are a whole, right? Since Harry, you agreed to go, then we should act as a group. But next time, I think you can ask everyone's thoughts earlier."

Jia Siting was hammering and chiseling at the big pumpkin with a hammer and nails; only after he had hammered out a window did he turn his head and say,

"Do you think so too, Xiang Xien?"

Xiang Xien nodded gently.

Harry raised his lowered head and found that everyone was looking at him with smiles.

For no reason, he remembered what Jia Siting had said with a smile:

"My mother said that friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity."

In the days before, time had eroded memories as always; friendship was like a pebble in a river, and the water flowing over it only polished it to be smooth and clean.

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down; being able to stay by his friends' side, Harry could not think of anything luckier than this.

"Shall we come back early? That way we might still make it to the feast in the Great Hall."
