Chapter 75: Invitation

John's words sounded.

"Eh?"

Hermione, who was still lost, raised her head in astonishment, looking at John with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

"Think about it, since your parents won't be back until after Christmas, then in the time before Christmas, you can stay at my house first."

"And then after Christmas, let your parents pick you up, anyway it's just a few days."

John suggested to Hermione like a dog-headed military advisor.

Hermione blinked, obviously not having reacted yet.

John actually took the initiative to invite her to his house for Christmas.

Her first reaction was that this was indeed a good way, so she could visit John's house and go home to accompany her family.

But she immediately felt that it was inappropriate, visiting suddenly, and even staying for a few days, maybe it would cause trouble for John's family.

"That would be very disturbing..."

Hermione said softly with some hesitation.

"Not at all, don't worry."

"My family is very easygoing, my parents will definitely welcome you, I'll write a letter to them later to mention it."

"And there are empty rooms at home, you staying for a few days won't affect anything."

John waved his hand and said firmly.

"But didn't you say you were going to a friend's house to play during the holiday?"

Even though Hermione was already very moved, she continued to ask reservedly.

"Oh, we plan to go after Christmas, so it doesn't conflict with your schedule at all, Hermione."

Hearing this, Hermione pursed her lips, her fingers twisting together unconsciously, as if she was having an ideological struggle.

It seems there is no reason to refuse now.

She was actually quite wanting to agree directly; after all, this really had no disadvantages.

But if she agreed, wouldn't that mean she would live under the same roof as John, eat together, live together, and even...

Hiss, anyway they are still children, it seems it's not impossible?

No, no, thought wrong!

Hermione hurriedly shook her head, shaking away the strange thoughts in her mind.

And John also noticed Hermione's hesitation and entanglement, thinking Hermione was worried about causing trouble by going to his house, so he spoke again.

"Hermione, if you still feel embarrassed, then why don't you prepare a gift for me at Christmas, as a return gift."

"And I, I will also prepare a gift for you, as a return gift for the gift you gave me before, how about it?"

Hearing John's words, Hermione raised her head and looked at John.

His clear smile made Hermione's heartbeat speed up a bit.

Hermione pursed her lips, finally showed a smile, nodded and said.

"Okay."

Seeing this, John smiled: "That's a deal."

"Hmm..."

After agreeing, Hermione didn't dare to look into John's eyes.

Because she couldn't control her wild imagination again.

She was very happy spending time with John, so she didn't dislike living with John, and even looked forward to it.

But living under the same roof, would something unexpected happen...

Hermione thought, her cheeks getting hotter and hotter.

And John, looking at Hermione's appearance, was also a bit unable to bear it.

No, don't be shy after agreeing.

Originally didn't feel anything, just a normal invitation for a friend to stay at home for a few days.

But Hermione's shyness made John feel embarrassed too.

It seemed like his invitation for a girl to come to his house was to do something to her.

But the words were already said, couldn't take them back, right.

So the atmosphere between the two suddenly became a bit subtle.

The cold wind blowing in from the window couldn't blow away the gradually warming atmosphere between the two.

Originally Hagrid was just listening quietly on the side.

At first, he felt it was quite warm for the two children to discuss Christmas arrangements together.

It's just that why did they fall silent while chatting?

And their faces were so red.

Is the temperature in the room too high?

Hagrid scratched his head, looking at the two in confusion.

Time flew, and it was Hogsmeade week again.

This time Harry could finally go to Hogsmeade with his partners, not having to stay at school alone.

Honestly, if it weren't for the appearance of Sirius this time, who signed the consent form for him, he would have wanted to slip over wearing the Invisibility Cloak directly.

But now that he could go openly, it was naturally the best.

Soon, the older students set off together for Hogsmeade village.

And John and the others naturally were going to the Shrieking Shack.

After learning a trick from Professor Lupin last time, he didn't need to find Big Orange to open the way.

Just use the Levitation Charm to control a small stone to press the switch.

Ah right, speaking of Big Orange, since there was no need to feed Sirius, Big Orange seemed to have become much more relaxed, no longer running around, and was often brought by John.

For example, now.

Big Orange was lying lazily on John's backpack, its tail flicking one after another.

After pressing the switch, they immediately drilled into the secret passage and arrived at the Shrieking Shack all the way.

The secret base hadn't changed much since the last time they came, everything was as it was.

This time they also came prepared.

John planned to shallowly repair this drafty room.

After all, it started to snow in the sky now.

The wind blowing in from outside was like a bone-scraping knife; if it wasn't repaired, this place really couldn't be stayed in.

John threw Big Orange off the backpack, and then took out a handful of wooden strips from the backpack.

Waving his wand, these wooden strips returned to their original appearance one by one, board-straight wooden planks.

This was prepared by John when he went to the Forbidden Forest to chop wood with Hagrid a few days ago.

Hagrid needed wood for fire, and John needed wooden planks.

So John used the Cutting Curse to cut the chopped tree into suitable wooden planks, and then those scraps were given to Hagrid as firewood.

Although an extra tree was chopped because of this, I believe the Forbidden Forest wouldn't mind.

John thought while starting to wave his wand.

Under the guidance of his wand, the wooden planks covered the drafty walls one by one, and then were nailed firmly one by one with nails.

Don't look at this operation as if it's very simple, but it's actually not difficult.

Magic is really too convenient, praise magic.

Before long, the originally drafty walls were patched tightly.

John looked at the repaired walls with satisfaction, looked back, and found that Titus and the others had put some small gadgets in the room again.

Titus even took out a small wooden table, and after enlarging it with the Transfiguration Charm, it was just right for the four of them to sit around.

Ethan took out a small potted plant grafted after learning botany with Neville for a period of time, placed it on the shelf, adding a touch of green to the room.

Ryan handled the dust accumulated during this period, and even took out a few pairs of slippers, saying that wearing slippers in the room in the future would not step dust everywhere.

Everyone performed their duties, and the secret base gradually radiated new vitality.

Really good, the feeling of transforming the secret base by yourself.

"Hey, someone is approaching outside, hide."

At this time, Ryan by the window suddenly discovered that three figures were walking over in the woods not far away.

The few people stopped their movements immediately.

Leaned to the window one after another, looking out through the tiny cracks.

Fortunately, those three figures just stopped outside the iron net and had no intention of approaching further.

Hmm? That girl looks so familiar.

John looked closely, that seems to be Hermione.

So the two beside her should be Harry and Ron.

Then they should just be visiting the Shrieking Shack, no need to worry too much.

But for the sake of insurance, everyone still didn't make a sound.

At this time, three more figures came out of the woods.

Another old acquaintance.

It's the useless Malfoy and his two useless lackeys.

Although I don't know what they are saying, it can be seen that they are spraying each other passionately.

But it looks like Hermione and Ron seem to be of no use, it's Harry spraying Malfoy and the three of them alone.

Awesome Potter.

I don't know if it was because of being sprayed, Malfoy raised his fist and wanted to rush up to fight, but was stopped by Hermione, who had long been unable to bear it, in two steps.

First punched Malfoy in the face, beating Malfoy until he didn't know east, west, north, or south.

Then another big swing knocked the two lackeys down directly.

Hiss!

She is simply a war god! ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
