Chapter 12 Intimate
When she went back to school, Avro had to bring even more things. She had to bring those heavy books, gifts from her friends, and the clothes and food that her mother had stuffed into her.
She said goodbye to her parents and two younger sisters, and Astoria reluctantly nuzzled into her arms, "I'm leaving."
The Hogwarts Express started slowly. Aphra was in a bad mood and didn't want to go back to school. She pursed her lips.
Outside the window, her family members waved to her, and Avro raised the corners of her lips, pretending to be cheerful.
"..."
The compartment door was quickly opened, and Avro looked up. Unsurprisingly, it was Fred and George.
Avro paused and showed a joking smile, "How do you think of the Christmas gift I gave you? Is it delicious? I picked it specially and I personally like it very much."
"..." They looked at each other with annoyed expressions.
"No," George replied.
"What's wrong?" Avro took out a book from her bag, "Isn't the address your room?"
"..."
Avro lowered his head and smiled sullenly, and took out another box of chocolates, which were also brand new, "Would you like to eat them now?"
Without looking at the two of them, she opened the box and randomly picked a chocolate and put it in her mouth.
Fred and George looked at her suspiciously, as if they were making a decision, wavering.
"I'm not like you, who loves pranks so much." Avro complained, "I'm a kind-hearted person, and I don't bother to compete with you to see whose prank is better."
But they didn't seem to trust him.
"Ma'am, three drinks...what do you want to drink? I'll take it." Avro called to the passing train salesperson.
"Sherbet drinks, two." Fred answered for George.
"I didn't say I wanted to drink."
"Okay, then a sherbet drink, what do you want to drink?"
"Sherbet drink, thank you." George nodded.
Fred showed no surprise.
Avro laughed, "I drink pumpkin juice."
"Ok."
The three of them got along very well, with Aphra drinking pumpkin juice and reading a book. No one ate the chocolate either.
Fred and George were rarely quiet, wondering what they were thinking.
"Ouch! Fred, your hair is floating up like a red cloud." George said with a smile.
"Please, your hair should be like this," Fred complained.
The two looked at Aphra, who blinked with a pure expression.
The two of them were not angry or embarrassed at all. Instead, they were pulling each other's hair with great interest and chattering to each other.
Avro shook her head. This was not as cute as Draco. It was more interesting to watch others become angry.
As for these two...they were afraid that there would be no prank, even if the prank was effective on them.
"Go show it to Percy?"
"Go show it to Percy!"
They hit it off immediately, ran away playing around.
Avro used her magic spell to clear away the two sherbet drinks and clear her mind.
……
Hogwarts is still covered in snow, and all the Christmas decorations haven't been taken down yet.
Aphra sat by the fireplace in the common room, reading quietly.
Many students are busy making up their homework, after all, classes start tomorrow. After playing like crazy for the entire holiday, they all forgot how to hold a pen.
"Aphro, can you show me your history of magic homework? Please, please." Bayet Roll, her roommate, requested.
Avro curled her lips and said, "Of course, just take it."
"Huh, I knew it. Aphro is beautiful and good at studying. Thank you very much."
After hearing the conversation between the two, many students in the same grade around them rushed to get copies of Avro's homework.
……
When I met Cedric again, the weather was already getting warmer. In fact, it was not warming up, because it would suddenly turn cold at every turn, and the weather was more unpredictable than a woman's heart.
In the corridor, Cedric and Aphra ran into each other.
"Cedric? I haven't seen you for a long time." Avro smiled lightly.
"Yeah, you haven't been to the library recently. It's been a long time since I've seen you."
Avro touched her nose. She had been establishing friendship with Slytherin and usually stayed in the common room.
Cedric smiled and noticed that she was holding two bottles of potion in her hands. The bottles occasionally collided and made a crisp sound.
"The weather is abnormal, and many people have colds. Please keep warm and cast the Warming Charm several times." Cedric said thoughtfully.
Avro was wrapped in a robe. Her problem could not be solved by the warmth spell. As long as she was not taken care of carefully, something would always go wrong.
I didn't expect him to be so attentive.
"Thank you," she said cheerfully, "Are you free? I have something for you."
"I'm free, but what is it?" Cedric asked.
"A belated Christmas gift, to thank you for reviewing the textbook." Aphra smiled, "It's not far from the Slytherin lounge. I'll go back and get it."
"Then I'll wait for you." Cedric nodded.
It's not that Aphra couldn't meet Cedric, but she didn't deliberately look for him. For example, for daily meals, she couldn't go to Hufflepuff to deliver things in front of all the Slytherins.
Avro quickly returned and handed a box of chocolates to Cedric, "Thank you."
"Thank you, I like it very much." Cedric couldn't say he liked this kind of thing, but he wouldn't say that.
Hearing Cedric's answer, Avro was very satisfied, "This is delicious, I always eat it."
"I'll try it when I get back... By the way, everyone has taken the time to review, so do you too."
"Of course, I will go to the library tomorrow." Avro smiled.
"Don't worry, of course we'll wait until you recover."
"Well, see you later!"
"See you."
After chatting with Cedric for a while, Aphra felt much better. After drinking the potion, she also felt much better.
After Christmas, Hogwarts was always boring, and Aphra ran back and forth between the common room and the library, reading books.
When June came, Avro coped perfectly with the exam week. She performed very well from theory to practice. She thought she had handed in a satisfactory answer sheet.
After finishing the exam and packing up, Avro quickly rolled back home and saw her sisters whom she had not seen for a long time.
Because she lived in Hogwarts, Aphra happened to miss their birthdays, and Daphne made trouble with her for a long time because it was her eleventh birthday.
"I'm going to Hogwarts in September, so I can play with them at any time." Daphne said happily.
Astoria was a little disappointed, "Then I'm the only one left in the house."
"Let's have some fun together now." Avro touched her head, "You go ahead and play, I'm going to do my homework."
"Aphro, are you doing your homework again? Every day you are either sitting in your room or receiving guidance from your father. Why don't you stay with us?" Daphne said coquettishly.
"I'm the boss, so of course I have to be strict." Avro smiled and scratched her nose, "Let's go."
