Under Hermione's insistence, Harry and Ron reluctantly sat beside her and began to study the centaur.
However, the two of them could not concentrate and were always discussing the match in whispers.
Harry thought that he could catch the Flying Burglar faster, as he clearly had the chance to do so.
Ron told him that he was too polite to Qiu Zhang, and that his performance in the early stages of the match was restricted.
Then, the two of them changed the topic from Quidditch to Qiu and the other girls. When Hermione was not paying attention, they even dragged Elwyn into the discussion.
"All in all, Ravenclaw is really good at finding balls. Out of all the girls in the school, she might be the best." Ron covered himself with a book and said softly, "But compared to you, her strength is still too lacking. As for the Flying Broom, it's even more incomparable. The Fire Crossbow is the best. It's a world-class Flying Broom. Even in the professional league, it's not common. "
"Qiu Fei is very good. I'm not that much better than her." Harry said objectively, "If it wasn't for the Fire Crossbow, I might not have won so easily today."
He smiled, and the image of Qiu in the sky blue battle robe appeared in his mind. She was exceptionally beautiful.
"You're just being too polite to her because she's a girl." Ron disagreed with Harry's opinion. "According to Wood, you're too gentlemanly."
"But …" Harry still wanted to explain.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Elwyn. He saw the whole process."
"If you ask me, Qiu Fei is indeed not bad. The key is that she's also very beautiful." Elwyn said as if he understood something, "Harry, if you have a good impression of her, you can try to ask her out. I heard from Luna that she doesn't have a boyfriend yet. "
"I don't have that kind of thought …" Harry tried his best to explain.
His face was red, and he looked very unconvincing.
In fact, as Elwyn said, he did have a good impression of Qiu.
To be more precise, he might have fallen in love with her. However, Harry was slow in this regard. He had no experience at all, and he didn't even realize this situation.
When he thought of Autumn, he was simply excited and moved.
As the conversation went on, Harry felt his face getting redder and redder. In order not to let Elwyn and Ron laugh at him, he hurriedly changed the topic to Hermione.
"Elwyn, how's it going between you and Hermione?" Harry lowered his voice with his back to Hermione. "Tell me the truth. Have you two done that kind of thing?"
"What is it?" Elwyn looked at him strangely.
"Yes …" Harry hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Kissing …"
Hearing his words, Ron spat out the mouthful of juice he had just taken.
He coughed violently and stood up from the sofa. Because he used too much force, he almost knocked over the small round table.
Hearing Ron's noise, Hermione looked up.
She squinted and stared at the three of them suspiciously, her eyes full of suspicion.
"You kissed Hermione?" Ron said in surprise. He looked at Elwyn hesitantly, then turned back to look at Hermione, who was reading a book.
Before Elwyn could explain, Harry continued to tell Ron, "On Christmas night, at the Broken Cauldron, Elwyn and Hermione went out alone. About twenty minutes later, Hermione ran back with a red face. It looked very unusual …"
Harry and Ron both looked at Elwyn, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Okay, actually it can't be considered a kiss." Elwyn explained, "It was under a Christmas tree in Diagon Alley. It was just a light touch."
Time seemed to stop. His thoughts returned to that night, and his heart beat slightly faster.
Opposite him, Harry and Ron looked at Elwyn in shock, their expressions even more exaggerated than his.
Harry looked completely stunned. He opened his mouth but did not know what to say. He only wanted to make a joke, he did not expect Elwyn to admit it so readily. However, he quickly recovered and became extremely excited. He was sincerely happy for Elwyn and Hermione.
Ron was not immersed in the shock. He was still brooding over the matter and seemed to want to say something.
Before he could continue on this topic, Fred and George came over with buttered beer for a toast.
They laughed heartily, disturbing Hermione's heart. She raised her head in annoyance and chased them all away. She asked Harry and Ron to leave and rejoin the party so that she could seize the time and focus on reading the remaining four hundred pages of the book in her hands.
The party continued and showed no signs of stopping.
"Does he know what we are going to do later?" Hermione mumbled. She curled up on the sofa and stared at Sirius. "The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous at night. We should be prepared, not here drinking and partying …"
At around ten o 'clock at night, she suddenly put down the magic book in her hands.
Hermione seemed to have made a decision. She walked over to Sirius and said a few words carefully. Elwyn saw that Sirius was full of apology, as if he was apologizing to Hermione.
After a few minutes, Hermione walked straight back with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Get ready to go, Elwyn," she said softly.
Hermione pulled Elwyn out of the common room. Behind them, there was a mess of whistles. They were not the first couple to go out. Everyone had a knowing look on their faces, as if they already knew what Elwyn and Hermione were going to do.
Elwyn and Hermione's faces were red. They tried their best to pretend that they did not hear the whistles.
"What did you say to Sirius?" Elwyn asked curiously.
"Nothing. I just reminded him to pay attention to the time."
In the dark corridor, Hermione repeated to Elwyn what she had just said to Sirius.
However, Elwyn's mind was constantly thinking about his conversation with Harry and Ron. He looked at Hermione in front of him, and his thoughts drifted further and further away.
Time passed slowly. At around ten thirty at night, Sirius, Harry, and Ron walked out one after another.
Fred and George seemed to be performing something. The common room was still very noisy, and the party did not show any signs of ending.
"Let's go to the centaur tribe in the forbidden forest." Harry said excitedly. He did not have the tiredness of a match.
"The five of us should hurry up. Don't let others notice that we've left the castle." Sirius had completely recovered, and did not look like he was drunk at all. "I've just asked Fred and George for help. They will try their best to let the party continue."
Sirius led everyone to the entrance, and reminded them of the things they needed to pay attention to. They passed through the ancient castle gates, and strode across the pitch black grounds. The closer they got to the dark and silent forbidden forest, the tenser the atmosphere became. Everyone was extremely cautious.
The moonlight was bright, but clouds constantly drifted over to cover the moon, and caused them to sink into darkness.
It was hard to imagine that just a moment ago, they were still partying in the brightly lit common room, and now they had to enter the forbidden forest filled with danger.
Harry and Ron's expression gradually became serious. They did not have the energy to think about random things.
