Chapter 39: Hagrid's Hut

After introducing Hermione and Luna to each other, they quietly watched Quidditch.

Although John didn't know much about this sport, he also saw some ways.

"Hmm... why do I always feel that our house's Quidditch level isn't as high as the Gryffindor one we watched last week?"

John made an evaluation after watching for a while.

"Things shouldn't just be looked at on the surface, John; everyone in Ravenclaw is very amazing."

Luna on the side said with a smile.

"In fact, Ravenclaw isn't weaker than our Gryffindor; they are just training together now, cultivating newcomers."

Hermione on the other side also said slowly.

John nodded knowingly.

"By the way, John, didn't Professor Hooch say your talent is very good? Do you want to join them too and win a Quidditch Cup for our house?"

Speaking of this, Luna suddenly said to John with a smile.

"Don't, I'm really not suitable for this thing, and with this time, I'd rather go learn a few more spells."

John waved his hand hurriedly upon hearing this.

Listening to their conversation, Hermione on the side also just knew that John had a lot of talent for flying brooms.

"That's not how you say it; if you fly Quidditch well, after graduation, you can join a professional team, which might not be a way out."

Hermione also said to John; if the talent was really good, maybe he could try to develop it.

He could have one more way out in the future.

But John still shook his head; to stand firm in this fantasy magic world, fists were the hard truth.

"If you fly Quidditch well, maybe there will be many fans, and you will receive love letters from girls every day." Hermione added with a smile, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes.

Seeing John so firm, Hermione suddenly wanted to tease him, using fame and beauties to tempt him.

"Ah? Really? Then I must go try it."

As a result, when John heard this, he didn't even act, directly showing a greedy appearance.

"......"

Hermione was speechless immediately.

Luna on the side covered her mouth and chuckled.

Hermione couldn't help but take back her previous evaluation; John might not be that honest...

Perhaps it was because they spent more time together, Hermione gradually discovered that John wasn't as old-fashioned as he looked on the surface.

Sometimes, he would still be like a teenager, revealing a funny and cute side.

Of course, it was also possible that this was a side only shown in front of familiar people.

"However, jokes are jokes; to be honest, compared to being a sought-after star, training Quidditch here every day."

"I'd rather go to the library with Sister Hermione to quietly read and study."

John suddenly changed the subject and chuckled.

Hearing this, Hermione looked at John's profile and blinked; she didn't expect John to think this way.

"By the way Sister Hermione, I haven't had time to thank you; the study method you taught me in the library last time is really useful."

John suddenly turned his head and smiled at Hermione.

Facing John's straightforward words and sudden gratitude, Hermione was caught off guard.

"... That's nothing, it's the result of your own hard work."

Hermione turned her face away unnaturally and said with an indifferent appearance.

If one could see Hermione's front, one could find that Hermione's expression wasn't natural.

She pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and was trying hard to suppress it.

Clearly, John's words were very useful to Hermione; even on her little face, a thin layer of pink was dyed.

It was just that John didn't notice it at all, scratched his head, and laughed again.

"Haha, not all of it, Sister Luna also helped me a lot."

Hermione:?

Hearing John's words, Hermione's body paused, and John continued to say without noticing.

"Sister Luna's understanding of Transfiguration is also very interesting, and she has provided me with a lot of help usually."

"If it weren't for Sister Luna's help, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Just finished praising Hermione, and Hermione hadn't recovered yet, when John suddenly turned his head and praised Luna fiercely.

"Thank you for your praise, John."

Facing John's praise, Luna was much calmer and showed a bright smile at John.

Hermione on the side didn't know what she was thinking, just slowly turned her head back, her face had already turned into a dead fish face, and she didn't say anything more, quietly watching the game.

John didn't know what was going on; Hermione suddenly didn't want to chat with him anymore.

They watched Quidditch all morning, and soon it was noon.

No matter how reluctant, Ryan and the others had to leave.

It was only on the way back that they discovered Sister Luna and Sister Hermione were both standing beside John.

But they were very tactful and didn't say anything, just said hello, and chatted about Quidditch topics John couldn't understand.

Just as the group entered the castle, thinking about going to the Great Hall for lunch.

Suddenly a familiar scene appeared before John's eyes.

Big Orange chasing a big rat wildly.

But the difference was that this time there were two boys chasing behind, which were Harry and Ron, whom he had seen before.

"Hermione! Quickly make your stupid cat stop!"

Ron clearly also noticed Hermione, didn't pay attention to anyone else present, and directly scolded Hermione loudly.

Hermione, who had finally temporarily forgotten her troubles, was shouted at by Ron in public, and her mood immediately became bad again.

But when Big Orange passed under her feet, she still stopped Big Orange and held him in her arms.

Ron ran past Hermione's side and said to her with dissatisfaction: "Manage your stupid cat, Hermione."

Then he went to chase his pet rat.

Hearing Ron's words, Hermione closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then walked away quickly.

Harry looked at Hermione on the left and Ron in the direction of leaving on the right, and finally chose to chase Ron.

Passing by John, he nodded at him.

This sudden farce made John and the others look at each other.

It was Luna who suddenly spoke to wake John up.

"John, are you going to let a girl leave alone in a sulk?"

"Ah, I know, you guys go eat first, I'll be right back."

John immediately understood Luna's meaning and didn't refuse.

Hermione's appearance didn't look good.

John had long regarded Hermione as a friend, so naturally he couldn't sit idly by.

After saying that, John chased in the direction Hermione left.

Hermione's little feet walked very fast; John was delayed for a while, and couldn't find Hermione.

It's really hell.

He ran around the castle, but didn't find Hermione, and was panting from exhaustion himself.

"Meow~"

Just when John had a headache about where to find her, a familiar cat meow came.

John turned his head and looked, isn't this Big Orange?

"Big Orange?"

John immediately saw hope; Hermione was holding Big Orange when she left, now that he could see Big Orange, did it prove that Hermione was nearby?

Thinking of this, John immediately walked over, wanting to pick up Big Orange.

As a result, Big Orange suddenly turned and ran, running all the way to the corner of the corridor before stopping.

Then turned back and meowed at John.

"Big Orange, are you pointing the way for me?"

John was stunned at first, but immediately reacted.

Heard that cats look back every three steps, meow at people, and don't let people hold them, just wanting to take people to a certain place.

John immediately lifted his feet and followed.

Following Big Orange left and right for a long way, he actually ran to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Big Orange ran straight towards Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and meowed at John several times on the way, as if signaling John to follow.

Although he hadn't been to this place, this should be allowed for students to approach.

John thought he would at least take a look, in case Hermione was really here.

So he slowly came to the outside of Hagrid's hut and knocked on the door. ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
