Bullido sighed to Sprout: "You Hufflepuff students are really fair and friendly! As a victim, Miss Murray not only didn't blame others, but also thought of Severus, which is really rare among other college students. See the quality!"

Sprout showed an expression of half pride and half pity: "Dolores is indeed a rare and generous child. Except for that time when she was reckless because of her hobby, she is a typical Hufflepuff on weekdays." !"

Severus, who was at the end, raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, showing some doubts, but quickly restrained his emotions, but never joined the chatting of the other four.

With Dolores, it is far easier to retreat than to take the initiative.She can hesitate for a lifetime for a confession, but she can effectively reduce her sense of existence without saying a word.She maintained her previous above-average grades and became quieter in class, neither earning points for the house nor avoiding any chance of getting locked-up.

She lived in peace here, and the noisy petrification incident finally came to an end. Dumbledore also canceled the final exam for this, which won cheers from all the students in the school.

Before leaving school, Dolores was called by Sprout for a talk.Her excessive self-preservation, excessive low-key, and excessive introversion, after all, fell into the eyes of caring people.But in the eyes of outsiders, this is all a sign that she has not yet come out of the psychological shadow of being forced to confess to a cold and violent male teacher.

So Sprout suggested: "Dolores, if you really can't get over this hurdle, you might as well prepare yourself a dose of forgetfulness potion (Forgetfulness Potion)-I remember you learned it in the first grade-just forget the whole incident , you won't be troubled any more."

"Thank you, Professor, but no need." Dolores shook her head immediately: "The amnestic is not foolproof, once the memory is restored, the influence will be doubled, so...let me adjust it slowly."

"That's fine." Sprout cheered her up with a smile: "Then you work hard! Summer vacation is here, whether you spend time with your family or go on a trip, it's an excellent way to adjust your mood. And—" She winked at Dolores: "You will be 15 soon, you can consider having a boyfriend. After you have been in love, you will understand that confessing to the wrong person is not a big deal!"

Dolores was taken aback for a moment, although she was very resistant in her heart, she didn't show it, she only thanked her politely.As soon as she left Sprout's office, she put the proposal behind her.Being persuaded to fall in love, as long as the person is not Severus, it is like persuading her to cheat. If another person tells her like this, she may turn her face on the spot.

However, what she didn't expect was that Sprout didn't mention it on a whim, and she even wrote a letter to her father Myron.So on the third night of her arrival, Myron informed her of a visitor the following afternoon.

"Who is here?" Dolores was extremely surprised.Myron naturally has colleagues and friends, but this is the first time he has been invited to his home.

"The Diggory family," Myron replied, "Amos and I both work in the Department of Magical Beast Control. His son, Cedric, is a grade above yours. You should have met him at school."

Dolores nodded, of course she knew Cedric Diggory, he was a rare handsome and outstanding boy in Hufflepuff House, the daily topic of conversation among girls, either Harry Potter or him up.

"I ordered lunch for five at the Three Broomsticks, with two bottles of mead and a bottle of cherry syrup." Myron continued, "They delivered at a quarter past eleven, and the Diggory family at twelve o'clock." Arrival, this arrangement, do you think there is no problem?"

"It's okay." Dolores didn't object.Although it may seem impolite to not cook and entertain guests by yourself, but for a family without a hostess, it is justifiable.

The next day was a sunny day, and Dolores arranged her lunch in the garden.This place has spent all of Myron's time and energy outside of work, and it is the most sincere place to treat guests this time.In addition, she also made other preparations, such as desserts and afternoon tea cakes, which Myron didn't consider, but she couldn't pretend not to know.

The place is there, the food is there, what else is there?Just one more host to make you feel at home.Washing up in the morning, Dolores stared at the mirror for a long time, staring at the flat and negative face reflected in it, deeply felt that she could not use this face to know her father’s colleagues and family, otherwise it would not be friends but enemies.

So she dug out her raw material collection and improvised a small pot of ElixirtoInduceEuphoria.The euphoria potion is a rare, beautiful and delicious potion. After being boiled, it shows a light yellow color like sunshine, smells fragrant, and tastes like honey.She took a drop with her fingertip and tapped it on her tongue.Such a rare dose is enough to mobilize all her pleasant memories and help her show the most natural and kind smile.

Orders and guests arrive on time.Amos Diggory is a very ordinary English wizard, tall, ruddy, with a short brown beard, and Grace Diggory is a rare beauty, with a Ravenclaw-style elegance and subtlety .Cedric Diggory picked on the advantages of his parents. Although he was only about 16 years old, he was already a tall and handsome boy.

Dolores thought he looked familiar, and after a few more glances, she suddenly realized: "So it's you."

"I guess you didn't recognize me as the Seeker on our House Quidditch team," Cedric said, handing her a colorful bouquet as a visiting gift.

"No, I'm thinking of the first grade Christmas dinner." Dolores confessed with some embarrassment.He was the boy who gave her his share of mulled grape juice.

"I thought about it too." Cedric smiled slightly: "However, you don't seem to be able to drink very well. You can only drink syrup or soda today."

"Can't I drink more?"

"You are also underage, how can you have the opportunity to exercise your drinking capacity?"

The two had something to talk about, and the atmosphere was harmonious, which made the three parents on the side quite relieved.Amos patted Myron on the shoulder: "Our two families should have walked around like this a long time ago! It's because you are too introverted!"

He turned his head and said to his wife: "Although Myron and I are in the same college and at different levels, we have been classmates for many years, but we only communicated with each other after work and gradually became familiar with each other. Fortunately, I don't think Dolores is as strange as him. She is sociable. She looks more like Keith, she is not high-profile, but she is very assertive and can take charge of the family early."

"It's good to be like her mother." Myron was a little depressed, not only because his wife who had passed away for a long time was mentioned: "Lola is a good girl, but I am not a competent father. No Professor Sprout wrote to remind me, I never realized that.”

"You can learn, for example, follow me!" Amos hammered his chest hard: "Look at how well I raise my son! Oh, of course—" He put his arms around his wife: "Grace It also deserves credit.”

Grace nodded in agreement: "Amos is quite good at education, maybe let Dolores get in touch with my family Seid. Seid is not very cheerful, but with two Hufflepuffs, it is not difficult to find common language."

The three parents set up a friendship for their children in a few words, and it happened that Cedric was talking about Quidditch and was sending an invitation to Dolores: "The school's flying lessons are too restrictive to let you experience the joy of flying." Why don't you go to Hogsmeade's Flying Club with me to have a try? The weather in these two months of summer vacation is very suitable for high-altitude flying!"

Dolores didn't really want to accept it, she still had a plan to work to earn money, but before she could refuse, Myron pushed her for the first time: "Go, Lola, if you don't try, how will you know?" like or not?"

It was rare for her father to speak, and Dolores didn't want to offend him, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay, thank you, Cedric."

"Call me Seid, and I'll call you Lola, or, like your friend, Dolly?"

"It will be all right."

Myron took the initiative to ask again: "Sid, Lola is going for the first time. Does Lola need to bring her own broomstick? She hasn't had one yet. If she needs one, she should buy one as soon as possible."

"Don't worry." Cedric waved his hand: "The club rents brooms, and there are many models to choose from. It's just that Lola can try them one by one to see which one suits her best."

"Then I'm counting on you!" Myron solemnly begged and got the assurance from the other party.

Seeing that Cedric and Dolores began to discuss the meeting time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he just saw Amos give him a thumbs up and enthusiastically encouraged him: "There is progress, Myron! You see, it is not difficult to be a good father who supports the development of children's hobbies!"

Not long after the lunch was officially served, the Diggory couple obviously recognized that it was a service from the Three Broomsticks Bar, and deliberately avoided food-related topics until the fruit soufflé made by Dolores was served.

Listening to their loud praises, Dolores felt ashamed.She just added seasonal cherries and strawberries according to popular recipes, and there is no exclusive recipe.But such popularity is always a good thing, and she thanked them one by one for their compliments, and politely invited them to try other desserts in the future.

A meal was enjoyed by all guests, including Dolores.The effect of that euphoric potion has long since passed, but the smile on her cheek has not disappeared.There's always something, a potion
