On the 14th of February, the sky above Hogwarts Castle seemed to be exceptionally clear. During breakfast, the clouds on the ceiling of the auditorium turned pink.
The young wizards in the castle were excitedly talking about this special Valentine's Day. It was not only because there was no class today, nor was it because the third round of the Three Wizard Tournament would be held in the afternoon. Instead, it was because of the sponsorship from Madame Perdif's Teahouse. Today, a special Valentine's Day event would be held by the Black Lake.
At around ten o 'clock, the young wizards arrived at the Black Lake. An open-air stage had been set up on the grass beside the lake. The person in charge of the selection was a Hufflepuff named Elena. She had long brown hair that reached her waist. She was using her magic wand to direct all kinds of exquisite tea and snacks to fly to the long table below the stage for the young wizards to enjoy.
Elena was Hermione's right-hand woman in the training class. In fact, most of the wizards in charge of this event were from Allen's class. For example, the wizard who was waving his magic wand and hanging golden fat angels on the tree was Douglas North, a pure-blooded wizard from Slytherin. He was also Hermione's right-hand man in the training class.
Allen leaned against a tree and leisurely looked at the scene in front of him. The atmosphere was not like the eve of a competition at all. Instead, it was like coming to a holiday resort. The air was filled with the smell of love.
Even the tree behind Allen was filled with fat golden angels. These cute little fellows were constantly tossing candies at the Magi who passed by.
The stage was open. As long as you had the courage, you could go on stage and perform. Anyone who participated in the performance would be able to get a lunch voucher from Madame Perdif's Teahouse worth five galleons.
Singing, dancing, imitation shows … There were even magic shows. There were many young Adepts who participated in the show, and the five-gallon lunch voucher was very tempting to them. It was also the perfect excuse to openly invite the person they liked to a small teahouse that was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
Allen watched two people perform the guitar, a male wizard play the harmonica, a male wizard tap dance, and two people conduct the band.
Lee Jordan came onto the stage and said hello to everyone with great enthusiasm. Then, he began his talk show. "I didn't understand why a public restroom is called a restroom until yesterday when I went to the Pig's Head Bar that doesn't provide toilet paper. Furthermore, I didn't bring my toilet paper with me."
He gesticulated with his hands and feet as he spoke, and the others listened attentively, bursting into laughter from time to time.
Everyone applauded and cheered Lee Jordan when he had finished. He jumped lightly off the small stage, and North raised his hand to give him a high five to congratulate him.
Michael was the next to go on stage. He cleared his throat and started singing a song called "Heartbreak Hotel."
Sigh, this song was indeed very sad, because — Lee Jordan did not sing a single line out of tune.
Noyes tried his best to accompany him, but Allen could see that he was having a hard time playing. He probably wanted to throw the piano down and cover his ears with his hands.
Lee Jordan had a shrill voice, and the notes he sang were ugly enough to make your face twitch.
Malfoy shook his head and said, "It's like a wild boar caught in a trap."
After the performance, everyone gathered by the lake. For the next activity, the little wizards volunteered to imitate the contestants of the Three Wizards Tournament and compete in a winter swimming competition. The winner would be given the right to go on the small stage and confess his love, and the grand prize of a month's free tea at Madame Perdif's for the year.
"The water is great. It looks clean, and the sun is strong today. It shouldn't be too cold." Cedric stooped down confidently and poked at the water.
With a splash, he turned his head and cried out in horror, "Autumn!"
Without hesitation, he also jumped into the lake and looked at the bottom of the lake.
Autumn was motionless, very deep in the water, almost at the bottom. She was motionless, as if she were not breathing, and her arms were swaying up and down with the current.
Cedric quickly dove to her, grabbed her arms, put his hands under her arms, and lifted her to the surface.
Cedric brought Autumn to the surface and gasped for air. His lungs felt like they were about to explode. He was probably panicking too much. He was too worried.
Just then, he heard laughter. It was Autumn. She was laughing at him. Cedric's hand was still under her arm, when she turned round, threw herself upon him, and kissed him fiercely on the lips.
"Congratulations, Cedric! You won first place in this competition!" Elena's voice rang out.
Cedric was dumbfounded. Water droplets slid down his cheeks, making him look a little silly. But this silly look earned him another passionate kiss from Autumn.
"It's just like how the warriors have to save the person they miss the most in the Three Wizard Tournament. What you have to do is to save your other half without knowing what's going on. The one who arrives first will win." Elena explained with a smile.
Cedric was relieved. He came ashore to accept the cheers of the crowd. After changing into clean clothes, he walked onto the small stage with Autumn and shouted, "Autumn Zhang, I love you!"
Although the two of them were both embarrassed and blushing, their eyes were filled with love and joy when they looked at each other.
On the shore, Allan's heart was also warm. Not only because he had witnessed the love between Cedric and Cho Zhang, but he had also received three gifts from three girls.
Hermione gave Allen a gray scarf that she had knitted herself. Penello gave him a note with a red lipstick print, inviting him to meet in the Forbidden Forest tonight. Penello gave Allen a necklace. Allen could tell that the pendant on it was the same as the one Mr. Xenophilus had given him.
After putting the gifts into his portal, Allen looked at Cedric and Autumn Zhang, who were snuggling up to each other not far away. They were going to be happy this time. Although Cedric had lost the honor of becoming a Warrior, he would not lose his life because of it. Being ordinary was not necessarily a bad thing.
In fact, they could live a longer life. Mr. and Mrs. Cedric were at home, talking about visiting Autumn Zhang's house tonight.
Mr. Cedric rubbed his stomach and said worriedly to his wife, "You can drive when we go to Muggle Street. Don't forget that I ate a lot of grapes three days ago."
"Okay. We'll be in trouble if we run into the police at Muggle." Mrs. Cedric calmly put a box of wine into the trunk of the car.
The afternoon sun was warmer than the morning sun. The little wizards gathered at the Quidditch Arena. The Quidditch Arena was twice as big as usual. The seats were packed with wizards who came to watch.
