HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 222 Confession Card

The entire auditorium became a mess.

The dwarves' sensual performance made the young wizards so disgusted they wanted to vomit their breakfast.

"Harry Potter, stop right there!"

"Here's a message with background music for you!"

Seeing a dwarf walking towards him, Harry panicked, his face turning deathly pale.

He immediately turned around and tried desperately to escape.

But the dwarf saw through his plan and immediately leaped up and hugged his knees tightly.

This made it impossible for him to break free.

Under everyone's gaze, the dwarf loudly proclaimed, "Harry Potter, this is your Valentine's Day gift with a song: your eyes are as green as freshly pickled toads, you're as black and dashing as a blackboard, I wish you were mine, you're truly handsome, a warrior who conquered the Dark Lord—"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Draco, who had come specifically to watch the show after noticing the commotion, was now rolling on the ground laughing, showing none of his usual arrogant aristocratic demeanor.

Ron's face turned bright red, and he could barely contain himself.

He wanted to laugh along, but worried that it would affect the deep friendship between himself and Harry.

Ginny, standing to the side, was also blushing, but her situation was different from Ron's. Ron was trying not to laugh, while she was shy.

Because the Valentine's Day card the dwarf is reading now was sent by her, and the contents were written by her own hand.

The Weasley twins, always eager for a good spectacle, joined the dwarves in singing loudly, their rendition of "Make your eyes green like freshly pickled toads" becoming almost universally known.

As for Harry, once he was certain he couldn't leave, he slumped onto the table, looking utterly hopeless.

Meanwhile, Elaine, who had escaped, was not idle.

Since Lockhart has put on this show, he should naturally make good use of it.

So he started writing anonymous love confession cards like crazy.

The process is not complicated. Just prepare some blank greeting cards and have the alchemical dolls created by "mechanical magic" write them.

Of course, he would personally write the greeting cards for his close friends; that way, it would show how deep their friendship was.

In just one hour, Elaine wrote more than 500 Valentine's Day cards.

Most students will only receive one card, a small number of students will be lucky enough to receive two, three or even more, while Lockhart, the instigator, will receive a total of thirty cards!

The dwarves received the greeting card sent by Elaine and began moving toward the young wizards.

Today is Saturday, no school, and most of the young wizards will be wandering around inside and outside the castle, giving the dwarves plenty of opportunities.

Soon, all of Elavin's close friends were cornered in the corridor by the dwarves, who listened to them sing love songs in their rough voices.

Ernie, Justin, Hannah, Susan, and Cedric from Hufflepuff; Harry, Ron, and George from Gryffindor.

Fred, Percy, Neville, Ginny; Hermione, Luna, Cho Chang from Ravenclaw; Malfoy and Daphne from Slytherin —

None escaped; they all perished.

Lunchtime, in the auditorium.

The young wizards complained endlessly about what had happened that morning.

"Good heavens, those dwarves are still singing! I can't take it anymore!"

"In a way, they're quite dedicated —"

"Of course they're paid by Lockhart, how could they not be professional?!"

"He's so idle! He doesn't teach a single proper spell, just takes the salary Hogwarts gives him and does these despicable things—"

"Damn it, another dwarf is coming this way! Merlin, please bless him, I hope he's not coming for me! I don't know which damned bastard wrote me three love letters, these dwarves are driving me crazy today!"

Three love letters?! I suspect you're just showing off! Why didn't I receive any love letters?

"What utter nonsense! Anyone can see this is just a prank by some people, okay?!"

"Some people—??"

"Yes, certain people! The only ones in the entire Hogwarts who would do something like this are the Weasley twins, I'm not even considering a third!"

"That makes sense!"

Almost all the young wizards cast venomous glances toward the Gryffindor table, especially at the Weasley twins sitting there.

"Uh, have you noticed the way everyone's looking at us, Fred?"

"I see, George! I think they must have misunderstood us! We did want to do that, but we haven't taken any action yet!"

"I wonder which genius came up with this method and beat us to it—"

As the two were talking, Ron suddenly walked over with his head down and his face flushed.

"Hey, our lovely little brother, Ronnie, what's wrong?"

"I—I received a love letter this morning." Ron looked as shy as a little girl.

George and Fred exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

"Let me guess, is it something like, 'Your vibrant red hair, like a flame, dispels the loneliness in my heart'?"

"And what about 'When you eat a chicken leg with gusto, you're like a juicy tomato, making me want to take a bite'?"

Ron exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know?!"

The twins burst into laughter again.

"Of course we know, because we received the same greeting card too!"

The two then pointed to Percy and Ginny, who were quietly eating with their heads down beside them: "Percy received one too, and Ginny even received two, with almost the same content!"

"This is clearly someone's prank!"

"You don't actually believe someone sent you a love letter confessing their feelings, do you? No way, no way!"

"How could a little witch from Hogwarts possibly be interested in you, poor Ron?"

Ron's face turned even redder upon hearing this, half from embarrassment and half from anger.

"You—you're lying! My situation is different from yours!!"

After saying that, he ran out without looking back, leaving two glistening tears in the air.

Seeing this, George and Fred laughed even harder.

Uncharacteristically, Harry didn't chase after his friend to comfort her. Instead, he approached Ginny and cautiously asked, "Ginny, did you really receive two love confession cards?"

Ginny blushed and nodded, giving a soft "Mmm": "It was a prank!"

"Was it really a prank?"

"But we all only received one, why did you receive two?"

"Is it possible that the first one was a prank, but the second one wasn't?"

Harry didn't know why he cared so much about this.

Ginny shook her head: "I don't know, there's no signature on it."

"Um, could you let me see those two greeting cards?"

"sure."

Harry took the two greeting cards from Ginny and read them. The contents of the cards were just ordinary love letters, but neither card had a name written on them.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
