Chapter 126 Percy's Sense of Urgency
Chapter 126 Percy's Sense of Urgency
Harry and Cedric concealed their doubts and naturally avoided the topic, talking about other things.
Afro breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had disguised herself well.
23 saw through everything but did not expose it. He sighed as he looked at Afro who thought he was at the top but had actually been seen through.
Even if they practice for another hundred years, they still can't outsmart these little boys!
Just accept your fate!
And it found that 19 was right, it is much more interesting to ship a couple than to break them up. However, it has to screen carefully, because these boys all have their own advantages, and it is really difficult to choose!
Or maybe we should convince Afro to take them all!
The hour hand slowly pointed to the number ten. Afro and Harry said goodbye to each other and prepared for Dobby to take them home.
"Senior Diggory doesn't have his own home?" Harry watched Cedric naturally take Afro's hand and put his other hand on Dobby's body. He felt so jealous!
"I have been staying at Avro's house."
It would have been fine if Cedric hadn't said anything. Once he said it, Harry felt even more sour. The sourness in his heart was about to turn into substance and drown him!
"Uncle Campbell asked me to supervise Afu's studies." Cedric, who was far ahead all the way, took out the "imperial edict". He was a person with approval and legitimate reasons, and he was different from these little brats.
Who made him have excellent academic performance and be polite and gentle to others?
Harry clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stared at Cedric, wanting to punch him in the face! He wondered if he could get the job if he studied hard from now on.
Sensing the tension in the air, Afro jumped out to act as a peacemaker. She was really afraid that Tom's little bar wouldn't be enough for these two boys to deal with!
"Harry, good night! See you in two days!"
After saying that, Afro shook Dobby's arm, signaling Dobby to take them away quickly. She was really afraid that Harry and Cedric would fight, and she didn't know who to help!
"Good night." Harry looked at the three people who suddenly disappeared, and his eyes stayed on the place where Afro had stood for a long time.
He murmured to the empty floor, and only the tiny dust floating in the air heard the words "good night".
He took the newspaper that Afro had placed on the table. Although she didn't say anything, Harry still felt that Afro would not ask him this question for no reason.
There must be something different about this wizard named Sirius Black. Perhaps it has something to do with the strangeness of Aphrodite.
Harry decided to get to know this wizard better.
The sun rose and set, and two days passed in a blink of an eye as Harry wrote his paper and investigated Sirius. He learned the story about Sirius from his boss Tom.
They all said that Sirius was Voldemort's minion, and even after Voldemort's fall, he was hunted down by the Ministry of Magic and sent to Azkaban.
Tom told him that Sirius had stood in the ruins laughing as Ministry Aurors arrived, and that the attack had left a wizard and a dozen Muggles dead.
But Harry felt that this was very consistent with the movies he saw at the Dursleys' house. Serial killers were usually like this, crazy and mentally abnormal.
But why is Avro so interested in Sirius?
This is what Harry is most puzzled about now.
And everything was interrupted by the return of his little friend.
"Afro! Look, these are the photos we took in Egypt!" Ron took out a newspaper clipping and described his experience in Egypt to Afro. There was a gleam in his eyes, which attracted Afro's interest.
"Fred and George put beetles in Bill's bowl! Bill is my brother too."
"Mother wouldn't let Ginny go into the last chamber. She said it was enchanted."
Fred and George came over with a bowl of potato chips and orange juice respectively, and before they got close they heard Ron showing off his newspaper clippings to the little girl.
"Little Ronnie, why don't you tell me about the time when the mummy chased you and kissed you?" Fred kindly reminded Ron that he had forgotten something important. Afro was completely attracted by the story he told.
Ron was reluctant to talk about his embarrassing moments in front of Afro, although he had done it many times, he would hide as much as possible.
"Fred and George locked Ron in a tomb, which alarmed the mummy inside and they chased Ron for a whole day." The cute little Ginny pushed away her brothers and sat next to Aphrodite, covering her mouth as she vividly described the scene of that day.
Listening to Ginny's description, Afro seemed to have a picture in front of her eyes. In her mind, Ron opened his mouth wide, screamed in a shrill voice, and followed by a mummy who couldn't even see the road clearly.
Afro was amused by her own imagination, she almost laughed under the table. Ron, who was sitting opposite her, pouted, resting his chin on his folded arms, looking very depressed.
Percy, who was helping the Weasleys carry the presents, came in and saw Aphrodite's sunny smile. He and his two younger brothers continued to dance and make the little girl laugh.
He has entered the seventh year and will graduate from Hogwarts soon, which made him feel a sense of urgency.
He did not have any advantages over the other competitors, and although the age difference between them was not much, it was the biggest compared to the others.
Once he graduated from Hogwarts, he and Avro would have even less interactions.
Percy deeply regretted why he was obsessed with "How to Get Power as a Prefect" instead of "A Practical Manual of One Hundred Ways to Pursue Witches" in his fifth year.
"Percy, come and sit down!" Afro saw Percy standing far away from their table. For a moment, she saw loss and grievance in Percy.
Would Percy, who is obsessed with studying, also feel lost because he can't fit in with them?
The soft-hearted Afro took the initiative to invite Percy to join them and even gave up his position on the other side.
Percy, who was hit by the sudden surprise, sat down in the seat that Aphrodite pointed out to him with a dizzy head. He didn't come to his senses until his butt touched the chair.
"Aphrodite, I..." Percy clenched the thing in his pocket. This was a gift he specially picked for Aphrodite in Egypt, representing his unspeakable feelings at the moment.
"Ok?"
Afro tilted her head and looked at Percy, who suddenly became hesitant. His figure was reflected in her green eyes, as if he was the only one in her eyes.
The thought in his mind made Percy feel a hidden sense of joy. He took out the gifts in one go and almost said what was in his heart.
"This is the gift I chose for you, I like..." Percy stopped himself in time, and the words turned into another sentence on the tip of his tongue.
"Hope you like it."
