These things were very tedious, and Ron kept complaining.
For example, when they went to supervise the decoration of the castle or the hanging of ribbons, he said that Peeves grabbed the other end and tried to strangle him.
When he looked after the first and second graders, he would complain that they were too thick-skinned. He was definitely not so presumptuous when he was in first grade.
When he patrolled with Filch, Ron's evaluation of him was that the guy had sh * t in his head, and he always made things difficult for the students.
Hermione didn't complain, but she was also annoyed because she didn't have time to liberate the poor house-elf!
She had high hopes for this, although so far, there hadn't been a single successful case.
As Christmas approached, D.A. activities had to be suspended during the holidays, and almost all members had to spend the holidays with their families.
This made Harry very unhappy, because he had nowhere to go. For the first time, he wanted to leave Hogwarts during the holidays.
For some reason, Hermione's parents decided to take her skiing this year, and they invited Elwyn.
In fact, it wasn't just Evan. They had invited his parents as well.
Only then did he realize that since their last meeting, both parents had been contacting each other very frequently in private.
So, both parents decided that they would go skiing in an isolated town in Austria this Christmas holiday.
It was undoubtedly inappropriate to do such a thing at such a time, but Elwyn couldn't refuse.
This was a joint family activity, and Elwyn didn't have the option to refuse.
Ron also wanted to go back to the Burrow, which made Harry jealous for a few days. When he asked Ron how he planned to go home for Christmas, Ron said, "You should go too! Didn't I tell you? Mom wrote to me a few weeks ago to invite you! "
Harry's heart soared. It would be great to spend Christmas in the Burrow, instead of staying alone in Hogwarts or 12 Grimmauld Square. Although he actually wanted to be with Sirius, the Burrow wasn't bad either. He hadn't spent Christmas in a wizard's house yet.
On the last night before the holiday, Hermione was excitedly reading the brochure about the ski towns in Austria that Mr. and Mrs. Granger had sent her.
After leaving Hogwarts the next day, they would meet at Elwyn's house and then fly to Austria.
It was rare that Hermione didn't mention anything about her studies. Instead, she focused on discussing the scenery and skiing with Elwyn.
She didn't know how to ski, and neither did Elwyn. However, Elwyn felt that it shouldn't be too difficult to secretly use magic.
On the side, Harry, Ron, Corin, and Neville were talking about Autumn.
He didn't want to tell them, but not long ago, before D.A.'s last event, when he was alone with Autumn in the House of Granted, the three of them accidentally saw Autumn crying uncontrollably on his shoulder.
It was so awkward. Harry swore that he didn't say anything, nor did he do anything.
Ever since the competition with Hufflepuff, Autumn had been crying non-stop. Her emotions were very unstable.
"What did you do to her?" Ron asked curiously. "Scared her to tears?"
"I didn't do anything!" Harry said tiredly. He was also a little unsure. "Maybe it's because of me."
"Of course not," Hermione said casually. She didn't even raise her head. She was still reading the brochure in her hands.
"How do you know?" Ron asked sharply.
"Because Autumn has been crying most of the time!" Hermione said vaguely, "She cries after class, she cries during meals, she cries in the bathroom, she cries everywhere. Don't you understand how Qiu feels right now?"
"No, I don't." Harry and Ron said in unison. Elwyn also shook his head. In his mind, Autumn was a girl who loved to laugh and was always full of joy. He still remembered the first time he met her in Hogsmeade.
Of course, it was also because of Autumn that Elwyn and Hermione went to Madam Perdiff's teahouse for the first time.
The tea and pastries were so expensive, but the two of them didn't do anything. It was such a pity!
Now that they thought about it, the place was actually quite lively. They could consider going there again.
"It's obvious that she's sad because of Cedric." Hermione sighed and put down the brochure in her hands. She was ready to explain it to the slow noobs. "At the same time, I think she's a little confused. She used to like Cedric, and now she might like Harry. She can't figure out who she likes the most."
"You're saying that she might like me?" Harry said in surprise.
"Yes. As long as you're not blind, you can see that the two of you have been very close recently. She's trying to accept you and has feelings for you," Hermione said. "Otherwise, why do you think you met Autumn alone before the D.A. event? How could there be so many coincidences? She must have asked about your whereabouts."
"Is Autumn actually waiting for me?" Harry asked uncertainly.
"Of course, but it looks like you've missed the opportunity!" Hermione said.
There was one thing she didn't say. Autumn actually had feelings for Elwyn, but that was probably it.
The two of them didn't make any real progress. After Elwyn and Hermione's relationship became public, Autumn almost gave up.
After that, she seemed to want to accept Harry, but she was still hesitant.
"Other than being confused, she's also worried about what people will say if she's close to Harry. Also, she might not be clear about her feelings for Harry, because Cedric disappeared with Harry. " Hermione said, "So, it's all very contradictory and painful. Oh, she's also afraid of being kicked out of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team because she's been flying so badly lately. You all saw the match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. The Golden Snitch was right under her nose, but she couldn't catch it. "
Hermione's words seemed to have stunned all the boys present, especially Harry. He couldn't tell what was going through his mind.
Then, Ron suddenly said, "A person can't have so many feelings at the same time. It'll explode."
"You only have a teaspoon of feelings, but that doesn't mean everyone is like that," Hermione said sarcastically. She picked up her skiing album again.
"What should I do now?" Harry hesitated and decided to humbly ask Hermione for advice.
After all, she seemed to know a lot, more reliable than Elwyn, Ron, Corin, and Neville combined.
"The answer is obvious. You should take the initiative now and go out on a date with her." Hermione said indifferently, buried in her album. "Go to the woods, Hogsmeade, the classroom in the middle of the night, or in the iron pot. Spend a few hours alone with her, and then seize the opportunity. After all that happened just now, she will certainly expect you to ask her out. You have many opportunities, but whether you can seize them or not depends on you! "
"What if he doesn't want to ask her out?" Ron kept staring at Harry, his face showing an unusual shrewdness.
"Don't be silly!" Hermione said vaguely. "Harry has liked her for a long time. Isn't that right, Harry?"
Harry didn't answer. Yes, he had liked Autumn for a long time, but he didn't know how to face a crying Autumn.
He was used to Autumn's smiling face, and he had no experience with this kind of Autumn.
