In this strange calm, time continued to move forward.
After dinner on Friday night, Elwyn, Harry, Ron, and Hermione left the castle and prepared to visit Hagrid.
Hagrid originally planned to invite them to his place for dinner, but the four of them agreed that it was better not to risk trying the pie made by Hagrid. So they changed the appointment to have tea and dessert at his place after dinner.
Ever since his identity as a half-giant was revealed, Hagrid never went to the auditorium to eat with everyone again.
Because there were always students pointing at him impolitely, which made him very uncomfortable.
More importantly, Mrs. Maxim would sometimes go there.
Hagrid did not want to meet her now, let alone sit down and eat dinner with her.
Although his relationship with Mrs. Maxim was at a freezing point, Hagrid took good care of Bubbottom's Pegasus.
He constantly provided the horses with the best fodder and their favorite single malt whiskey, so that the fodder trough in the corner of the temporary stable was always filled with the smell of alcohol. Any student who came near would feel dizzy from the smell.
"I hope Hagrid doesn't want us to eat his pie!" Harry said. "I saw him get a piece of purple meat a few days ago."
"Purple meat? What animal did you get it from? "
"I don't know, but I want to ask Hagrid about Sniff. Maybe we can use it to hunt for treasure." Ron said excitedly. "I know many people used to bury treasures underground. What is Professor Moody doing by the lake?"
Following his gaze, Elwyn saw Moody standing by the lake near the Forbidden Forest, as if he was observing something.
If he was right, he should be investigating the situation in the lake. That magic eye could see through the lake water.
Next week was the day of the second game. Barty Crouch Jr. must be planning his own plot.
"Maybe he's just taking a walk," Hermione said uncertainly.
"He didn't even eat dinner and came out for a walk. What a strange person!"
The four of them looked at Moody standing by the lake for a while, then continued to walk in the direction of Hagrid's cabin.
After a few steps, they stopped again. This time, it was Krum who called them back with a gloomy face.
Krum came out of the castle and seemed to have something to say to them.
"Elwyn Mason, can I have a word with you?" Krum said briefly with a serious face.
"Okay, no problem!" Elwyn looked at him strangely, slightly surprised.
Seeing Krum's face, Hermione secretly pulled Elwyn, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
From Hermione's eyes, Elwyn could see her concern and worry for him.
He suddenly remembered what Hermione told him some time ago. He knew that what Krum wanted to say had something to do with Hermione.
He patted Hermione's shoulder intimately, telling her not to worry.
Since he was Hermione's boyfriend now, he should solve this kind of trouble.
He told Krum to stop pestering Hermione, or else she wouldn't dare go to the library alone at night to read books.
Although Elwyn wasn't worried about Hermione and Krum getting into a fight, trouble still needed to be solved as soon as possible.
He followed Krum towards the Forbidden Forest, passing by Hagrid's cabin and the brightly lit Bob's Barton carriage.
Krum didn't want their conversation to be overheard, so he kept a distance from Harry, Ron, and Hermione behind him.
"Strange, why did Krum suddenly talk to Elwyn?" Harry looked at their backs until they were completely hidden by the trees, and then said slowly, "Krum doesn't look very happy."
"A few days ago, he invited me to his house during the summer vacation!" Hermione said, "I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this."
"What?" Ron looked at Hermione in surprise.
"On Wednesday night in the library, he invited me. To be honest, I was also very surprised at the time when he suddenly said those things to me." Hermione's face was a little red. She paused for a moment and quickly added, "But I refused on the spot!"
"Hermione, Krum invited you to his house?!" Ron said in surprise, "And you refused?!"
"Yes, otherwise, what should I do?" Hermione frowned and looked at Ron.
"If it were me, I wouldn't refuse Krum's invitation. Think about it, being a guest at Krum's house during the summer vacation is the dream of many people. He is a famous international Quidditch player! " Ron said to himself, "You should say yes to him, Hermione. By the way, ask him if he can bring his friends, so that you can bring us along."
"I just see him as an ordinary friend, that's all. Besides, Elwyn doesn't like me to have too much contact with him. However, he seems to blame Elwyn for my refusal. "
"Krum must be angry!" Ron interrupted Hermione. "It's just a guest, and you came to my house last year!"
"That's not the same, Ron!" Harry said, grasping the key point of the matter. "Hermione really should refuse Krum. She is Elwyn's girlfriend. How can she be a guest at someone else's house during the summer vacation?"
Ron was still puzzled. Harry thought for a moment, probably thinking about how to make Ron understand.
"Ron, Krum is Elwyn's rival, and he also likes Hermione."
Hearing Harry say it so bluntly, Hermione's face was as red as fire. One could almost feel the heat from her body.
Ron also understood why Krum invited Hermione to his house, so he didn't continue to express his opinion.
Yes, Hermione was Elwyn's girlfriend now.
Ron suddenly remembered the night after the Christmas party, when they came back to announce this.
Maybe because he was too familiar with it, he had been ignoring this fact.
Krum obviously liked Hermione, and it wasn't as simple as just wanting to invite her to his house.
Ron looked at Hermione, who was blushing, strangely, as if he had just met her.
At the same time, Harry's thoughts were equally complicated. Krum's behavior suddenly touched his heartstrings.
He couldn't help but think, if Qiu Zhang was his girlfriend, what would he do in such a situation?!
Unfortunately, Qiu's current boyfriend was Cedric Diggory. They were already in a relationship, right?!
Harry wasn't Krum. He wouldn't go to Cedric just like that.
Just as he was about to say something, there was an unusual movement in the bushes behind Hermione.
