Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 283 Gossip
"Maureen, not bad! I heard that a fifth grade girl is chasing you."

"Excellent! We have all found out, that person is Magatha, and she is a top student."

"Congratulations, Maureen!"

"Molin, cherish it."

……

Among the students, the more this kind of gossip, the faster the news spread.When they walked into the auditorium for dinner at noon the next day, James and Albus surrounded Molin excitedly to congratulate him, and then many students also looked at Molin in whispers.

The girls in the fifth grade are chasing the boys in the second grade, especially the Quidditch star Maureen. This is the top 10 breaking news among Hogwarts students, and it is almost catching up with the popularity of the sudden appearance of the stone arch in Hogwarts.

"It's not what you think, James, don't spread the word!" Maureen touched his forehead, the news was too crooked.

Hugo exclaimed from the side: "Man, you are really amazing! The charm is very powerful."

"Why does the fifth grader fall in love with you?" Lily looked at Mo Lin suspiciously.

"I didn't like me, don't get me wrong."

Maureen found a place to sit down and eat lunch quickly. He had to go to class later, and after class, he had to participate in Quidditch training.He felt that this kind of gossip news was too unreliable, how could it spread like this.

"How do you know each other?" Lily asked curiously.

"I just met her at the club, that's all." Mo Lin spread his hands and said.

"You don't need to explain, we all understand. It's okay, Maureen, don't deny it." Hugo said with a smirk.

"It's really not what you imagined. She followed me just to study magic. She said she wanted to study me." Mo Lin argued.

"I understand, I understand! Research!"

Hugo picked up a sandwich with a smile, and said meaningfully: "First study the character, and then study other things... You know, this is how love comes about."

"Hugo, I really look down on you." Lily glared at Hugo.

"That's right, Lily, you still trust me, right?" Mo Lin felt that he had found a comrade-in-arms, and was very moved.

"But to be honest, Maureen, you don't need to hide it. It's okay to fall in love with a girl two or three years older than yourself. You shouldn't hide it from us." Lily said.

"I shouldn't...I'm hiding it..."

Mo Lin covered his face with one hand, pretending to be passionate, and Lily is not a comrade in arms.

Molin ate lunch with a depressed face, and then went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon under the teasing of Hugo and Lily. During the class, Hugo would do everything possible to find out about Maureen and Magatha.

"It's really not what you think."

After finally getting out of class, Mo Lin hurriedly took the flying broom and ran towards the Quidditch training ground.

"Maureen, I heard."

An Ran also ran over from the crowd, holding a newspaper with the Hogwarts logo in her hand, and she said in surprise: "The matter between you and the fifth-grade girl Magatha, the "Hogwarts Weekly News" It's all published, look, there are photos!"

"What photo? So fast?"

When Mo Lin saw An Ran, his expression was flustered, and he quickly took the newspaper in An Ran's hand.The largest section of the newspaper was usually occupied by various rumors about the Hogwarts Stone Arch, but today it was replaced by a photo of Magatha walking behind Maureen with a magnifying glass.

It's only been a day, and the paparazzi even took pictures. The reporters in this school are very efficient.

Mo Lin crumpled up the newspaper for a while, and said with some guilt: "An Ran, don't think wrong, this matter is not what you imagined at all."

"What's that like?"

An Ran blinked her long eyelashes curiously and asked.She followed Maureen out of the castle gate, and she was going to see how Maureen played Quidditch today.

"It's all nonsense, she didn't like me, and I didn't like her, that's all." Mo Lin secretly watched An Ran's reaction, not knowing why he didn't want An Ran to misunderstand.

An Ran asked thoughtfully: "If she doesn't like you, then why does she keep following you?"

"Good question!"

Maureen threw the ball of newspapers on the ground, took out his wand to clean it up, and then said, "She has a little brain...how should I put it? She is different. She is an arithmetic fortune-teller and wants to do research projects, because she I always miscalculated my behavior, so I decided to follow me, but what she said in the auditorium the day before yesterday didn't mean that, it was misinterpreted by others...Anyway, she..."

Mo Lin was thinking about how to explain to be convincing, but it seemed that the more he explained, the more chaotic he would become.

"Don't you like her?" An Ran pointed out the problem very simply.

"Yes! I don't like it!" Maureen shook his head desperately, "She and I don't think so!"

"Why? I heard that she is very good at studying, she is also pretty, and she is still in the fifth grade!" An Ran asked innocently, holding her chin.

"But I don't have that kind of... you know, we should focus on our studies... Anyway, that's not like it! I definitely don't like her, because I know what it feels like... She's too... I don't ...I like... oops, it's really not that kind...because...because..."

When Mo Lin said these words in front of An Ran, he looked very clumsy, and his language was not organized well. He kept thinking about how to say it so that An Ran would not miss it.

"Why are you hesitating? Why?"

An Ran blinked her eyes, the lazy afternoon sun shone on An Ran's eyelashes, she looked like an elegant and playful snow lotus.

"Because...because..." Mo Lin was a little embarrassed, and his breathing became difficult, "because..."

"Do you have someone you like?" An Ran asked curiously, and then said happily: "Ah, that's great! I don't even know about it! Who is it? Is it Lily?"

"It's not Lily, it's not her, Lily and I are just friends..."

Mo Lin looked at the cheering An Ran hesitantly, his heart was pounding, why was An Ran so happy when he said he had someone he liked?
"Who is that? I don't know too many people, is it your second grade?" An Ran asked impatiently.

"No, yes... yes..."

Mo Lin scratched his head, he looked at An Ran who was bouncing around like an elf, didn't know what to say, and muttered: "Oh, don't ask, it's not a big deal, I'm going to train now, Go to the locker room to change first, you go directly to the auditorium of the stadium..."

Mo Lin blushed completely, jumped on the flying broom and flew away from An Ran.

"I'll be waiting for you at the stadium!" An Ran waved excitedly from behind and shouted loudly.

The wind outside the castle was blowing on Molin's face, which made Molin feel relieved for a while, his face returned to normal a little, and he flew towards the Quidditch pitch.

After a while, he secretly looked at An Ran who was running towards the Quidditch pitch behind him. An Ran who was running on the path looked like a lark in the wind, with a happy figure fluttering.

Mo Lin didn't understand why An Ran was so happy, what did her reaction mean, knowing that she had someone she liked, was she really happy for herself?What on earth is she thinking?

"Really...why, what am I thinking about!"

Maureen shook his head, pushing the strange thought out of his mind.
