Hogwarts in the shadows

Leaving Hagrid's Hut.

They all held a white thing in their hands - a "bandage" in Hagrid's words, which was very effective in stopping bleeding.

Hephis's small bag also contained a bag full of dragon claw bark.

Hephis looked at the "bandage" in front of him and felt worried.

"What's wrong with you?" Hermione asked concernedly.

"Alas, this gift is too expensive." Hephes sighed.

"Dragon claw bark! That's indeed a problem. But you can try to sell it and give the money to Hagrid."

"Not only that," Hephis shook his head, "this bandage on our hand is actually made of unicorn hair."

"Ah! Unicorn hair?" Hermione's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, and these are the hairs that unicorns shed automatically. Each hair is worth three Galleons. The bandage on my hand alone has at least three hundred of them."

"It's so expensive, no, no, we have to go and return it to Hagrid." Hermione said hurriedly.

"Go back? Let him be a bandage?"

"How about selling it too? Give the money to Hagrid."

"Hey! The money problem is easy. I can take it out now."

"Then why don't we just give the money to Hagrid when we go next time? What are you so hesitant about?"

"I'm just afraid Hagrid won't want it!"

"Hephis, never mind how much these are worth in Galleons. Friends are priceless."

Hermione suddenly became extremely serious and stared at Hephis firmly.

"Hermione, you are right, this is a gift from a friend." He rubbed Hermione's little head.

"Don't rub my head, my hair is just so messy." Hermione said angrily.

"Got it." He took Hermione's hand and walked towards the castle.

Hermione lowered her head shyly and let Hephis lead her.

Hephis took Hermione to the eighth floor.

He opened the door. "Welcome to the Room of Requirement."

Rose petals are scattered all over the ground, like a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers

There were many candles floating around, giving the room a soft glow.

The table was covered with a crisp white tablecloth and exquisite silverware was neatly laid out.

Hermione was a little dazed when she looked at the red rose petals all over the ground, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Hephis, is this what you prepared?"

"Uh... yes." Hephis scratched his head awkwardly and accepted it without knowing it.

In fact, he just made a small request to An An, hoping to have dinner with Hermione alone.

Who would have thought that An An made such careful arrangements.

This requires An An to be given two chicken legs.

Hermione was a little hesitant, after all, she had only known Hephis for a short time, and her little hands kept pinching the corner of her clothes.

Hephis didn't notice Hermione's abnormality and pulled her into the Room of Requirement.

He pulled out a chair for Hermione like a gentleman and motioned for her to sit down.

He sat down slowly after Hermione sat down.

"An'an."

An An's figure appeared with a "puff", holding two plates full of delicious food in her hands.

An An quickly placed the food on the table one by one, and in an instant the entire table was filled up.

Hephis and Hermione expressed their gratitude to An An, and the blush on An An's cheeks disappeared.

"Thank you, Hephis." Hermione's face was still flushed.

"I just wanted to have dinner with you. I can't always go to the Gryffindor table."

Hermione looked at him with some confusion. Over the past week, Hermione had been eating at Gryffindor's restaurant almost exclusively.

The little lions even mistakenly thought he was from Gryffindor.

"I'm afraid it will cause you trouble." Hephis explained.

"I'm not afraid."

"You're not afraid, but I am."

"Hephis~" Hermione was a little touched.

"Come on! Let's clink glasses to celebrate our first meal alone." Hephis raised the glass in his hand and gestured to Hermione.

Hermione raised her glass as instructed and clinked it lightly with Hephis's.

She took a sip of the drink in the cup and immediately felt a sweet taste spreading in her mouth: "What is this?"

"Butterbeer," Hephis explained. "Don't worry! It's non-alcoholic."

"Yeah, it's really delicious." Hermione smiled sweetly.

The two ate and talked, and Hermione was very curious about the Room of Requirement.

If she wasn't having a meal at the moment, she would definitely have done the experiment.

The drinks were just right, and even though butterbeer was non-alcoholic, both of them seemed a little tipsy.

"Hermione, you are so beautiful."

"Thank you, you are just as handsome." Hermione blushed slightly.

"Hermione, I like you." Hephis looked at Hermione affectionately.

"Hephis...we are still young..."

Hermione lowered her head, her voice becoming quieter and quieter, and she felt her heart beating faster and faster.

"Hermione, what did you say?" Hephis leaned forward slightly.

Her cheeks became redder and redder, and her little hands kept picking at her nails.

But the atmosphere had become so tense that Hephis was ready to charge forward.

Hephis took a deep breath, walked over to Hermione, and gently held her in his arms.

"Hermione, will you be my girlfriend?"

Hermione tried to speak, but her body was stiff and her throat was dry, so no sound came out.

"You know what? Hermione, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."

"Your every frown and smile are deeply engraved in my heart."

"I dream of walking through the cycle of the four seasons with you and appreciating the beauty of this world together."

"I am willing to spend my whole life to care for you, cherish you, and protect you."

Hermione's body gradually softened, and her arms were wrapped around Hephis' broad back.

"Hephis, I do." Hermione responded softly.

The two people hugged each other tightly.

The mistletoe around it also began to grow slowly and bloom with pink flowers.

"Hephis, you're hugging me too tight. I can't breathe." Hermione panted slightly.

"Hermione, you are so beautiful that I can't help myself." Hephis regained his senses, let go of Hermione, and hurriedly explained.

Afterwards, the air seemed to be filled with a pink scent. They held hands and chatted, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

Hephis rushed back to the dormitory before curfew, feeling very happy.

As for "Advanced Memory Revealed", what is that? Don't get close to me.

Time always passes by inadvertently.

There was a little tail behind Hephes, and Theodore followed him like a shadow every day.

Even when he was with Hermione, Theodore was like a light bulb.

No vision at all.

She was like a young wife whose husband had been taken away, always staring at Hephes with a resentful look.

If Hermione hadn't stopped him, Hephis would have really wanted to kick him away.

Perhaps Theodore felt that he had no chance of winning favor, so he simply changed his strategy.

He began to bribe Hermione with the family's collection of books, which made Hermione very happy.

I have to say that Theodore is worthy of being born into a pure-blood family and he knows a lot.

After a few days of observation, Hefeth gradually discovered that Theodore was actually very talented.

He is particularly good at potions and spells, but I don't know why he ended up being just an ordinary person.
