Hogwarts in the shadows

On the morning of February 14, as soon as Hephes entered the auditorium, he thought he was dazzled.

Huge pink flowers are blooming on all four walls.

Countless heart-shaped confetti gently fell from the light blue ceiling.

Shortly after Hephis sat down, Lockhart waved his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.

He was wearing a pink robe that was similar to the surrounding decorations, which made him look particularly sexy.

Professor Snape, who was sitting next to him, had an even gloomier expression than when he was teaching Hephesus a lesson that day.

"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" Professor Lockhart announced loudly.

"So far, I have received 45 greeting cards. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to every student who sent me a card!"

He paused, a smug smile on his face.

"Yes, I arranged this little surprise especially for you all, and that's not all!"

Lockhart clapped his hands, and twelve ugly leprechauns emerged from the entrance hall.

They had golden wings on their backs and each held a harp in their hands. They were as ugly as they could be.

"These are my friendly messengers, the little Cupids carrying greeting cards!" Lockhart introduced proudly.

"They will be walking around the school today, bringing joy and blessings to everyone..."

Hephis had no interest in listening to Lockhart's further rant.

His eyes involuntarily turned to Hermione and found that she was eating breakfast as usual.

All day long, those ugly leprechauns kept barging into the classrooms, delivering Valentine's Day cards.

This made the professors look extremely unhappy during class.

Hephis was having a Transfiguration class when a leprechaun broke into the classroom.

"There is a musical message for Hephaest Dam."

"I have a message for the music which I want to deliver personally to Hephaest Dam."

' said the leprechaun in a shrill voice, and made as if he were going to pluck his harp.

Hephaestus was not at all tolerant of ill-treatment.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and the little dwarf was immediately petrified on the spot.

Then he waved his hand again and hung the leprechaun upside down outside the Transfiguration classroom.

The harp and the letter in its bag were scattered all over the floor.

Professor McGonagall's expression softened slightly when she saw this.

She coughed twice, "Ahem, Hephis, you cast a spell randomly in class, so I'll deduct one point."

She winked at Hephis and continued, "Two beautiful wandless, silent spells, plus twenty points for Slytherin."

Professor McGonagall ignored the leprechaun hanging at the door of the classroom and continued her lecture.

But the obvious curling of her lips proved that she was in a very good mood.

Hephis looked calmly at the little snake with its legs spread out in front of him and continued to fall into deep thought.

After that, the Transfiguration class returned to normal, and no leprechaun dared to break into the classroom again.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Hephis went directly to Hagrid's villa and waited for Hermione.

He was not just waiting, but used this time to personally give Novia some blood.

A little bit is just over twenty liters, just enough to fill a jar.

An hour later, Hermione finally showed up.

Her hair was obviously carefully groomed and fell softly on her shoulders, further highlighting her delicate little face.

"Hermione, you look so beautiful today." Hephis exclaimed.

No wonder the girl told her that she would come a little later, it turned out that she was doing this.

Hermione's little face flushed slightly, and her hair was always messy for some reason.

She tried to respond, but it was a complete waste of time every time.

Over time she got used to this messy hairstyle.

But today is Valentine's Day after all, so she still put a little thought into it.

After a brief greeting with Hagrid, Hephis took Hermione out of the villa.

He took Hermione to a secluded corner.

"Hermione, are you ready?" Hephis said softly.

There was a trace of confusion in Hermione's eyes, "Prepare...prepare for what?"

Hephaestus smiled evilly and they disappeared from the spot.

Hermione looked at the scene in front of her in confusion, and she found herself in a spacious living room.

"This...where is this?" Her eyes were full of confusion.

Hefeth smiled and explained, "This is my home in South Kensington."

Hermione's heartbeat accelerated instantly. "You...you...why did you bring me here?"

Hephis raised the corner of his mouth and showed a playful smile, "Of course I took off my clothes."

"Take it off...take it off...No." Hermione's little face suddenly turned red.

She quickly shook off Hephis's hand and jumped a few meters away like a frightened little rabbit.

"Haha, you're so cute." Hephis couldn't help laughing out loud.

Hermione glared at him angrily, "Don't you dare laugh!"

The little lion started to show his teeth again.

"I'm just kidding, but we do need to take off our clothes." Hephis didn't dare to continue teasing Hermione.

"It's just a change of clothes. We can't go out and play in wizard robes."

He took out two sets of couple's clothes from his bag, both of which were styles from the Muggle world.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and said through gritted teeth: "You bad guy!"

Hephis laughed, put the clothes on the table, and pointed to the bedroom next to it, "You can change your clothes there."

He picked up his own set of clothes and headed for the stairs, "I'll go upstairs and change."

As Hephis passed by Hermione, she suddenly pounced on him and bit his arm.

"Ouch!" Hephis was afraid that Hermione would fall, so he quickly put his arm around her waist.

"See if you dare to bully me again!" Hermione said angrily, and stepped hard on Hephesus again.

Then she gathered up her clothes and ran into the bedroom, slamming the door.

Hephis looked at the shallow teeth marks on his arm and smiled slightly, "This little girl."

He certainly didn't need to actually go upstairs to change.

He snapped his fingers, and the wizard robe fell off automatically.

The clothes placed next to him were put on him by themselves while jumping and hopping, and even the shoelaces were automatically fastened.

He sat on the sofa and waited quietly for Hermione.

About ten minutes later, Hermione came out of the room, looking calm again.

She was wearing a white pullover sweatshirt with a cute round kitten pattern printed on the lower right corner of the shirt.

Below was a pair of sky blue skinny jeans and on her feet were a pair of blue and white sneakers.

Hephis was dressed almost exactly like her.

But there was a not-so-cute little snake pattern with its tongue sticking out printed on the lower left corner of his sweatshirt.

"Hermione, you're so cute." Hephis praised.

"Hmph!" Hermione's mouth corners slightly raised, but still expressed dissatisfaction.
