The next day was Saturday. Normally, everyone would wake up very late.
However, Elwyn got up early. He had promised Gabri to familiarize herself with the Hogwarts campus last night.
Hogwarts was unusually quiet in the morning. Elwyn followed the empty corridor to the castle gate.
The sky was a little dark. The sun had not risen yet, and there was no wind outside.
From afar, Durmstrong's ship was floating slightly in the lake, shrouded in a thin layer of mist.
Because it was too dark last night, he could not see it clearly. Now, the ship looked even more sinister.
It was like a ghost ship that usually appeared in stories. It was covered in unpleasant black and dark green decorations.
It cast a dark reflection in the water, like a skeleton.
Although it looked a little scary, if possible, Elwyn would like to go up and take a look.
The ship was cast with many spells, including black magic. There were many designs and magic reactions that Elwyn was unfamiliar with. He wanted to study them, but Durmstrong and the others would not invite him up.
Elwyn retracted his gaze and walked along the lawn by the lake to the side of Hagrid's cabin.
Boothbottom's huge powder blue carriage was parked less than 200 yards away.
The few divine rune horses that pulled the carriage were the size of elephants, grazing in a temporary enclosure.
Not far away, near the pumpkin patch behind Hagrid's cabin, terrifying explosions and clashing sounds came from time to time.
It was the restless exploding snails. They were now on a rampage, trying to escape from Hagrid's cabin.
Now, each snail was three feet long, and they had even begun to kill each other.
Hagrid had no choice but to change to a sturdier wooden box, even though it was of limited use.
Elwyn walked around Hagrid's cabin. Just as he reached the carriage, he saw Gabri.
She was curled up like a kitten in the hall, looking like she had been waiting for Elwyn for a long time.
Gabri wore a dark blue wizard's robe, and her waist-length hair of pure color seemed to shine in the morning sun.
With a mischievous smile on her face, her eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Elwyn passionately.
This made her look very cute, and people couldn't help but feel happy and warm.
"Hush! My sisters are still asleep inside!" Gabrielle whispered, pressing her finger to her lips.
Behind her, Elwyn could see that the interior of the carriage was decorated luxuriously, continuing the style of Boothbottom.
Gold and red were the main colors. After the entrance hall, there was a large living room.
Further inside, there were small rooms. That was where the boys lived. The girls all lived upstairs.
Gabriel carefully stood up. Perhaps because she had been squatting for too long, her body swayed as she climbed down the carriage.
She did not dare to touch the glass door of the carriage, for fear that the wind chimes hanging on the door would make a noise and alert the people inside. She was about to fall.
Elwyn hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and then, the two of them fell back heavily.
The soil on the ground was very soft, and it did not hurt when they fell, but Elwyn felt that the girl's petite body on his body seemed to be even softer.
Now, Gabriel was completely lying on top of him. What was going on?!
The two of them looked at each other and could feel each other's breath. The girl's face was obviously rosy.
She hurriedly climbed up from Elwyn's body and apologized to Elwyn repeatedly. She was extremely shy.
Elwyn also did not know what to say to Gabrielle. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was deliberately taking advantage of her.
Just like that, the two of them set off for the castle in a slightly tense and strange atmosphere.
Elwyn and Gabrielle walked along the other side of the lake to visit Hogwarts Castle, and the atmosphere quickly returned to normal.
Elwyn introduced the surrounding landscape to Gabrielle, and they chatted happily. Gabrielle was very interested in everything.
She also promised Elwyn to go to Hogsmeade together, which was a rare pure wizard village.
Then, the topic naturally shifted to the Top Three Hegemony Competition and the Warriors.
Mrs. Maxim asked the students of Boothbottom to go to the castle after breakfast and throw their names into the Goblet of Fire.
They went through a strict selection within the school, and even Nicole participated in the evaluation. In the end, a dozen of the most outstanding young wizards were selected.
Of course, Hibiscus Chinensis was the strongest among them, and if there were no accidents, she would definitely become Boothbottom's Warrior.
Otherwise, Gabrielle would not have followed them to Hogwarts.
She was not old enough, and it was Hibiscus Chinensis who specifically asked Mrs. Maxim to let her come with the team.
Gabrielle, who was not burdened by anything, simply treated this trip to Hogwarts as a vacation.
Not only could she see Elwyn, but she could also see a lot of new things.
After knowing that Elwyn was not going to become a Warrior, Gabrielle's face flashed with a trace of disappointment, but she quickly comforted Elwyn.
"My sister said that you are very strong, far beyond the level of a young wizard. You don't need to participate in the Hegemony Competition to prove anything!"
Elwyn could not participate, not only because he did not meet the age requirement, but also because Boothbottom and Durmstrong did not allow him to participate in the competition.
Hibiscus Chinensis must have known about this, that's why she said that.
"Oh right, your sister seems to be not very satisfied with me. She didn't talk to me much last night." Elwyn said, thinking of Hibiscus Chinensis's behavior last night.
"That's an attitude that she deliberately put on for everyone to see. You know, after what happened last semester, the school's evaluation of you is not very good, and many people want to challenge you to a duel!" Gabrielle hurriedly said, "But the girls actually have a very high evaluation of you, and they kept talking about you last night …"
Her voice became softer and softer, and her face was a little red.
Obviously, she was too embarrassed to tell Elwyn about the girls' private conversations, as there were all kinds of messy things in there.
Seeing Gabrielle's cute look, Elwyn suddenly wanted to tease her.
"Now that you're interacting with me like this, aren't you afraid of what the other people in the school will say?"
"I'm not afraid, and I don't care what they say!" Gabrielle said, raising her head to meet Elwyn's gaze.
The girl's serious, bright blue eyes were enough to make one's heart waver.
Elwyn held his breath and looked at Gabrielle, his mind blank.
The two of them stared at each other for three seconds at such a close distance, before they both came to their senses.
Gabrielle hurriedly lowered her head, and her little face blushed all the way to her neck, as red as a ripe apple.
Seeing Gabrielle's expression, Elwyn did not know what to say. The tense atmosphere was extremely strange.
In order to alleviate the awkwardness, he hurriedly raised his head and looked around.
It turned out that the two of them had unknowingly walked half a circle around the castle.
Now, they were in a secluded little forest at the side of the castle, and there were only the two of them around.
