Chapter 348: Amortentia Incident
Inside the Shrieking Shack.
"Going on a mission again?"
Hermione lay in John's arms, listening to his sharing of the follow-up plan.
Frowned her cute brows, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the hem of John's shirt.
"Uh-huh, don't have to meet Voldemort this time, rest assured."
John said easily while helping Hermione braid her hair.
This was learned from his mother.
Braiding hair is a technical job.
Braiding it is one thing, braiding it well is another.
Hermione raised her face, her nose almost touching his chin.
"John."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Hermione's sudden soft call, John's fingers paused, and he looked down at Hermione's small face close at hand.
"How old are you this year?"
"Ah?"
John was stunned; why did Hermione suddenly ask this?
"Uh... will be 15 in a few months?"
"15, huh~ then there's only one year left until 16~ hee hee."
Hermione repeated John's words thoughtfully, and then rubbed against John's chest happily.
This act of acting cute made John look confused.
"What happens at 16?" John asked strangely.
"Won't tell you~"
Hermione blinked slyly, then suddenly got up and pushed John down to the floor.
She sat on John's waist, looking at John with a smile.
"Someone was sold, and is still kept in the dark~"
"What the hell?"
John was really full of question marks this time.
Why has Hermione been acting crazy these past two days.
Laughing out loud while walking, and burying her face in the book and giggling while reading.
Every time he asked, she just gave a bad smile.
This made John anxious, so he turned over again, and amidst Hermione's exclamation, pressed her onto the soft carpet.
"Miss Granger, if you continue to provoke me with riddles without consequences."
"I really won't be able to help but pry open your little head to see what you are hiding from me."
John supported himself with one hand, gently pinched Hermione's chin with the other, and said 'viciously'.
Hermione immediately covered her head like a child and said milkily.
"No, you can't look now!"
"If I don't look, I don't look; sooner or later I'll make you spit it out yourself."
John leaned down and kissed her slightly open lips directly; Hermione struggled slightly, then closed her eyes obediently, responding to John's kiss.
Between breaths, it was full of the scent of lavender on Hermione and the ink scent of book pages intertwined.
After sending Hermione back, John also returned to his dormitory.
Just got back.
Saw Ryan and Ethan sitting on the carpet, dismantling something.
"Oh John, you're back, just in time."
"A girl sent you something again."
Ryan raised a small box that had just been dismantled in his hand and said.
Inside was a piece of chocolate, and a pink card.
John is a big celebrity now.
Occasionally girls would send him things.
But he always shared them with the two silly brothers, never touching them.
"You guys handle it, I'll pass." John waved his hand, not interested at all.
Ryan and Ethan looked at each other, laughing and breaking a large piece of chocolate into two.
"This woman is really strange, actually making cockroach cluster flavored chocolate, really cheap for me."
John:?
What kind of thunderous recipe is this?
Fortunately, I don't eat it.
But immediately Ethan on the other side questioned.
"Ah? Why do I smell mint? And a bit of citrus fragrance."
"It's clearly the taste of cockroach clusters, don't believe me, smell it."
"I smelled it."
Hearing the argument between the two, John suddenly frowned.
Stepped forward and took the chocolate to smell it.
There was a faint scent of lavender and the ink scent of book pages intertwined......
He was too familiar with this scent; it was the scent on Hermione.
But this couldn't have been sent by Hermione.
Combined with the different scents smelled by Ryan and Ethan, it seemed to be the snack scent they liked most usually.
"Amortentia?"
"What the hell?!" Hearing John's mutter, Ryan and Ethan were stunned.
John explained slowly.
"There should be Amortentia on this."
"Amortentia makes people smell the scent they crave most."
"Who sent it?" After finishing, John asked.
TMD drugging me?
"It's Romilda Vane."
It was a female student in their same grade in the Lion House.
But John couldn't say he knew this person, only that they had no connection at all.
Why did she want to drug me?
Could it be that she is actually a Death Eater?
To seduce me away and take me to a deserted corner to assassinate?
Thinking this way, John wanted to go directly to report to the teacher and then arrest her.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"John, Senior Sister Granger is looking for you outside the academy, looking very anxious."
Hearing Hermione looking for him, John went to find Hermione first.
Just happened to be able to tell her about this.
He walked quickly to the entrance of the common room; Hermione was pacing anxiously, and saw John come out.
Immediately grabbed him nervously, speaking anxiously.
"John! Did you eat the chocolate Romilda sent you!"
"She put Amortentia in the chocolate!"
Hearing Hermione's words, John was stunned, but turned to notice Hermione's hair was a bit messy, and there were injuries on her face.
Immediately his heart tightened, carefully holding Hermione's face and asking.
"What's going on? Who hit you?"
Hearing John still caring about her first, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.
Because it didn't look like he had eaten the chocolate.
"It's Romilda; when I went back just now, I heard her and a few girlfriends betting in the washroom, saying she would make you fall in love with her."
"I went out to refute her, saying it was impossible."
"She said she had just sent you a box of chocolate and put Amortentia in it."
"I immediately rushed out and beat her up, and then fought with her girlfriends."
"She is simply vain!"
Hermione immediately poured everything out like finding someone to complain to.
The more John listened, the darker his face became.
Also understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Romilda Vane, for the sake of vanity and betting with friends, intended to use Amortentia to fascinate John and become her "trophy."
Using Amortentia is actually not illegal in the wizarding world.
This is a thing that makes John very confused.
Now it has developed to the point where someone wants to use it to play games, bet.
But this is no longer the scope of pranks.
"Rest assured Hermione, I don't have the habit of eating other people's things casually."
"Not to mention things sent by other girls."
John didn't rush to vent his anger for Hermione.
Instead, while comforting her, he took out ointment to help her apply it to the scratches on her face.
Hearing this, Hermione's tense shoulders finally relaxed, enjoying John's care.
After helping Hermione finish applying the medicine, John asked her to wait here for a while.
Then turned back to the dormitory and took out the box of chocolate.
"Let's go Hermione, since she likes making others fall in love with her so much."
"Then let's satisfy her."
John didn't say his purpose directly, but took Hermione's hand and walked downstairs.
Bullying my Hermione, and wanting to use Amortentia to play with people's hearts.
Today, I will make Amortentia completely a forbidden drug at Hogwarts!
Although not clear what John wanted to do, Hermione still followed obediently.
Soon, they came to the underground, in front of the entrance to the Slytherin common room.
They had never been to this place before.
John called Draco out.
"What's wrong John?"
Draco walked out in confusion, seeing John and Hermione, and asked strangely.
"Draco, trouble you with something."
John said very politely.
"Help me distribute this box of chocolate, remember, distribute it to those Death Eater reserves."
"The reason is that a girl from Gryffindor sent it to everyone."
"By the way, don't eat it yourself."
Hearing this, Hermione immediately realized what John wanted to do.
The good child attribute made her want to stop him.
But after coming back to her senses, she felt it was good too.
Although Draco was also very strange, he didn't refuse.
The next day.
Gryffindor was surrounded by a large group of Slytherin students at the entrance of the common room.
Those snake house students, men and women, each had blurred eyes and flushed cheeks.
All were shouting Romilda Vane's name, the voice sweet and greasy as if wrapped in honey poison.
Professor McGonagall appearing couldn't disperse them.
Developing to the end, the scene was so chaotic that the snake house broke into the lion house common room.
The lion house thought it was the snake house coming to start a war, the snake house thought the lion house was hindering them from pursuing true love.
Then the two groups fought, and Professor McGonagall couldn't control the situation alone.
The entrance to the common room became a messy battlefield.
All kinds of evil curses filled the sky.
Until Headmaster Dumbledore arrived in person and suppressed all the students controlled by Amortentia, then calmed this absurd riot.
The Headmaster even thought Voldemort had attacked, and entered a state of combat readiness with a group of Aurors.
As a result, after checking clearly, I realized that the culprit of everything was just a box of Amortentia chocolate.
Romilda Vane was called to the Headmaster's office.
Not long after, John was also called over.
John admitted it very directly.
He received the chocolate sent by Romilda Vane, but he didn't like chocolate, so he gave it to Draco.
Then Draco also came to the Headmaster's office and admitted it.
He did receive the chocolate given by John, but it was snatched by snake house classmates, and he didn't eat a bite.
Afterward, Hermione also came.
She told the Headmaster what happened in the washroom yesterday, pointed out Romilda's shameless conduct, and said that when she went to find John, the chocolate had already been distributed.
Thinking that so many people shared this little chocolate, the effect shouldn't be strong, so she didn't care.
As smart as Dumbledore.
Saw at a glance that they lied about the time.
But he didn't point it out, because in essence, it was the chaos caused by Romilda Vane's crooked heart and abuse of magic potions.
Finally, Romilda Vane happily received a suspension punishment.
Originally it was just confinement, but that group of snake house students who woke up complained to their parents one after another, and then the parents came to make trouble.
So it became a suspension.
And those girlfriends of Romilda Vane also received joint punishment because of shielding and instigating.
Were cancelled the qualification for advanced potion elective in the future 6th and 7th grade, and forced to participate in a three-month school rule remedial course.
John was placed in detention for a month for knowing the truth but failing to report it.
Draco and Hermione were also given a week of detention as a consequence.
To be fair, Draco was quite wronged, but he did not evade the punishment.
And the Amortentia.
It also successfully became one of the banned substances at Hogwarts.
