[HP] Hogwarts Muggle University

James, Lily, and Sirius called successively within two days. They had a common purpose - to trick Harry into asking for leave to go home for "fun".

"Just playing?" Harry thought he was hallucinating when he heard Lily say that. "Are you all right, Mom? I'm only a week away from autumn break."

"That's right, so you can take another leave with the professors and come back to rest for two weeks." Lily suggested very gently, "Generally speaking, doesn't every professor give three chances to be absent? It's a waste if you don't use it."

"Are you all right?" Lily was so abnormal that Harry suddenly became nervous, "Are you all all right?"

"We're fine." Lily tried to confuse the past vaguely, but Harry was not stupid at all. There must be a monster if something goes wrong. These few phone calls made his heart flutter, and his intuition told him that there must be something behind it. There are some amazing things.

However, in the end, Lily did not reveal the secret.There was only a verbal agreement with Harry: the matter of asking for leave would be discussed after he came home from autumn break.

Just when Harry was getting annoyed, Cho popped up again and offered to invite him to the same coffee shop that he failed to go to last time.

Harry wanted to say no at the time, but Hermione stopped him: "Since the last date that wasn't counted as a date, have you two had any private interactions?"

"Sent a text once or twice," Harry replied distractedly.Hermione clapped her hands:

"That's it! It can be seen that Qiu still wants to work hard to develop a relationship with you. One thing is another thing. You can't completely disrupt your life rhythm with those few phone calls."

"It's not all because of that..." Harry hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly told Hermione how he felt about his last date with Cho, "I don't think she likes me that much."

"Really?" Hermione scratched her chin. "To be honest, I have my doubts about your judgment, Harry."

"Don't doubt a man's intuition." Harry said sullenly, "I'd better not go out with her, the atmosphere was weird last time, maybe this time it's even more embarrassing."

Hermione sighed deeply: "Wouldn't it be a complete fallout if you refused directly. Listen to me: you still have to go, and you go to see her attitude and whether the overall atmosphere has improved. If you still If you think there is no possibility of further development, then you can deal with it slowly later." Seeing that Harry was still struggling, she added very righteously, "She made an appointment with you after lunch, right? Then come to the library to find me in the afternoon , I’ll give you physics supplements, isn’t there an exam next week?”

Long live Hermione!

Harry suddenly felt that there was still a glimmer of light in his life.Ron is such a fool, he thought beamingly and regretfully, why would such a nice girl be awkward rather than get her way sooner.

When the appointed day came, Harry realized that the atmosphere between him and Cho seemed to be getting a little better, at least Cho was more active.She brought up the subject of the Super Bowl, and Harry happened to be half an expert on it.They talked about rugby all the way, and Harry was delighted to see how things seemed to be turning for the better.

At this moment, a sports car passed by them, and Draco and his followers were sitting on it.

"Potter and Zhang!" Draco seemed to be dying of laughter, "My God, at least Diggory looks good, Potter...ha!"

Everything is ruined.Harry's heart sank suddenly, he really wanted to drive a tank and crush Draco's sports car into scrap iron - Digory's name was like a cloud covering the sun.

They walked all the way to the pedestrian street in silence.

"Where's the coffee shop you speak of?" Harry looked around.

"Oh, there it is, Mrs. Puddiffe's Teahouse." She led him into a small teahouse, a place Harry had never noticed.The inside is small and bustling, and everything is beautifully decorated.

"It's cute, isn't it?" Qiu seemed a little happier.

"Uh, yes." Harry lied.

"Come on, there's still an empty table," Cho said.They had to walk down narrow passages with balls and stars hanging from the ceiling, and Harry had a gut feeling that this was not the right place for him.

Their table is right next to the glass window.An arm's length away is another table, and the couple just hold each other and talk sweetly.The image made Harry a little uncomfortable, especially when he looked around, and he had the misfortune to find that it was all couples.Harry's goosebumps fell all over the floor, and he could even vaguely see the pink bubbles filling the room... Maybe Cho also wanted him to hold her hand?

"Would you like something to drink, my dear?" asked Mrs. Puddieff.

"Two cups of coffee, thank you," Cho said.

While waiting for coffee, the couple next door started kissing over their sugar bowl.Harry wished they hadn't, he thought it was a bad example and it made him even more overwhelmed.He felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward. In order to ease the tension, Harry tried to bring up the topic of football just now.

But rugby is obviously not the time to talk about it, at least not in a cafe that is clearly intended for couples.

In the end they fell silent again, and amidst the sound of tsk-tsk water from the next table, Harry remembered more and more painfully the last time he had lost his first kiss for no reason.

Honestly, this all feels like a colossal mistake.

Then he made mistakes again and again: "Uh, I might have to leave early today, I have an appointment with Hermione at the library."

Cho raised an eyebrow.

"You're meeting Hermione, today?"

"Yes, um, she's going to tutor me in physics." Harry added stupidly, "She said it's okay if you want to come, we can study together."

"Oh, she's really nice."

Qiu's voice didn't sound like she really felt good at all. On the contrary, her tone was very cold, and her face suddenly became scary.

A few minutes passed in silence, and Harry's coffee quickly ran low.The two people next door kissed back and forth like glue, not afraid of suffocation at all.

Cho's hand was on the table next to her coffee, and Harry wondered if he should hold it.try it?He pushes himself.Right now!You have already kissed!

But just as he moved his hand forward, Qiu suddenly withdrew his hand.She glanced at the person next to her with a slightly interested expression.

"He asked me out," she said quietly, "a few weeks ago. But I turned him down."

Harry grabbed the candy tightly to cover his movement.He couldn't understand Qiu's words at all.If she wanted to sit and kiss this guy, why did she ask him out in the first place?

"I was here last year with Cedric," Cho continued.

It took him two seconds to catch what she was saying, and Harry felt his guts freeze.He could not believe that she was talking about Digory at this very moment.

Cho's voice sharpened: "They—my friends—thought I should try to hang out with new people so that... it might help, you know, a little wind before Cedric dropped out Didn't tell me either."

"Hmm." Harry said quietly, and at the same time he finally understood Cho's purpose in sending out the invitation, "So you want to take the opportunity of going out with me to forget about Digory?"

He saw tears in her eyes again, and he obviously said the wrong thing again.

"But," she said, tears streaming down the table, "you are nothing like him."

The couple finally parted, and they turned to look at Harry and Cho.In fact, the entire coffee shop noticed what they were doing here.

"Yes." Harry heard himself say grimly, "I'm not a replacement for Digory."

"Come on, get out of here!" She dramatically grabbed the napkin and covered her face and began to cry, "Well, you were going to meet Granger anyway, weren't you!"

Harry felt that there was no need to explain the matter further: "Goodbye."

He bravely faced other people's probing eyes and rushed out the door of the coffee shop.

Goodbye, damn first love.

He simply and neatly blocked Qiu's contact information.
