Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 140, Chapter 138: The seed of love was nipped in the bud before it could even sprout.

There are really only a few points about how to pursue a girl.

First, you must make a good first impression on the other person. Second, you must spend as much time as possible with them, showcasing your abilities in private. If there are no opportunities, create them. Then, proceed gradually and steadily increase their favorability. Once the favorability reaches a certain level, things will naturally fall into place.

Sweet words are a plus, and frequent acts of kindness are essential; not to mention small gifts.

With the joint planning of several members of the discipline group, a plan called "Operation Potter's Love Story" quietly began.

Ron, Neville, and Malfoy, three guys with no dating experience of their own, seemed to have found a common goal when they got together, and they all offered advice and suggestions to Harry.

What good ideas could they possibly come up with? Dudley had serious doubts.

This feels like when you're preparing to pursue a girl and you seek advice from your roommate who has zero dating experience.

Dudley observed a second of silence for Harry.

When it comes to pursuing girls, Dali can't offer any good advice. He doesn't have much say in this area and can only let these people do whatever they want.

We can't exactly send him to help Harry chase girls, can we? Or just tie them up and dump them on Harry?

Just kidding, that's illegal. Our Mr. Desley is a respectable man who is good at reasoning and persuading people with virtue.

However, on the other hand, he was not optimistic about Harry and Cho Chang's relationship, as the two were not very compatible.

Hermione was very enthusiastic about it, but her suggestions were even more unreliable. She even suggested that Harry "dress up" as a girl and then get close to Cho Chang to infiltrate the organization.

Is Harry Potter big?

To this, Dali could only say, "You're the one who knows how to play, aren't you?"

Unfortunately, no matter how well the discipline group created opportunities for him to be alone, as soon as he saw Cho Harry, he would immediately turn into a super stutterer. His hands would stiffen, his feet would stiffen, and his body would be as stiff as a piece of wood. Sometimes he would even forget to breathe. Forget about leaving a good impression on the other person, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence for a long time.

That's not the most crucial point. Whether it's fate or they're just not meant to be, Harry either messes up at critical moments or unexpected events cause their relationship to develop in strange ways.

During their first time alone together, the two got lost and were locked in a room at Hogwarts. The key door lock suddenly broke, and the lock-picking spell couldn't open it, causing Cho Chang to miss the Quidditch match and Ravenclaw to lose this important game (Cho Chang was very fond of Quidditch and was Ravenclaw's pursuer).

The second time they were alone, shortly after they met, they encountered Pipi Ghost playing a prank, throwing dung bombs around as weapons, and Qiu Zhang unfortunately fell victim to it.

During their third time alone together, a runaway flying broom appeared out of nowhere and hung Cho Chang upside down on the top of Hogwarts Castle. It took Harry a lot of effort to rescue her. Because of his nervousness, Harry failed to cast the spell several times, causing Cho Chang's head to hit the roof several times.

This made her deeply suspicious that Harry might have a grudge against her.

It's worth noting that Harry had never made a mistake when casting spells in front of others before.

The famous Harry Potter would make a mistake? That must have been intentional.

On his fourth time alone, he happened to encounter the owls resting in the tower who all got sick from eating something bad. On their way back, they rained down owl droppings, which happened to soak Cho Chang. The smell lingered for a long time, and no amount of cleaning products could help.

Whenever the two meet alone, an accident is bound to happen, and Cho Chang is destined to be the unlucky one. The key is that every time he makes a fool of himself, only Harry sees it.

The result is that although opportunities were created and a lot of contact was made, the outcome was completely unsatisfactory.

So much so that now whenever Cho Chang sees Harry from afar, he runs away in the opposite direction.

It's like avoiding a plague god.

Now Harry can't even bring himself to give small gifts, let alone have a proper conversation with the other person.

If the favorability rating is displayed, it's likely to be a negative number.

"In Qiu Zhang's eyes, I'm probably a weirdo, right?"

Harry thought with a look of despair, then silently added another sentence.

And he's a jinx too.

First love is beautiful, but Harry's seed of love was nipped in the bud before it could even sprout.

After yet another opportunity to be alone went awry, Malfoy helplessly covered his forehead: "Hopeless."

If Harry knows how to charm girls, is quick-witted, and can grasp their thoughts in time, then there's actually a tiny bit of hope.

The problem is, well, Harry is like that. Forget it.

"You talk like you have a lot of dating experience."

Ron was very indignant and stood up for his good brother.

"Of course." Malfoy looked at Ron with disdain: "Every Malfoy in the Malfoy family is a master of seduction."

"So, how many girlfriends have you had so far? How many times have you held a girl's hand? How many times have you kissed?"

Ron posed a soul-searching question.

Without a second thought, Malfoy replied, "I don't like promiscuity."

"off"

Ron made a disdainful sound through his nose.

Everyone here has a zero chance of finding a partner, so don't laugh at me, big brother.

"Harry, take it easy, maybe you two aren't a good match."

Neville patted Harry on the shoulder, offering words of comfort.

Harry sighed and mourned for his lost love.

To be honest, he really liked Qiu Zhang. Although he didn't know exactly what he liked about her, isn't that the hazy feeling of first love?

Harry is considering whether to follow Dudley's example and write a book. He's currently bursting with inspiration and has already come up with a title: "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

He had a feeling that it would become a huge hit.

Indeed, given his recent experiences, writing a book might actually make him a hit.

Of course, the title needs to be changed; it should be renamed "Harry Potter and His First Love".

"Where are Dudley and Hermione? Where did they go?" After pondering for a while, Harry realized that Dudley and Hermione were not there, and then asked.

Ron, who was arguing with Malfoy, took a moment to reply: "D and the others went to assess the new members."

"We're having a new member? How come I didn't know?"

Harry asked in surprise.

Is a new member joining the disciplinary team? When did this happen?

Hearing Harry's question, Malfoy retorted mercilessly, "Potter, what do you know? You've been completely infatuated with that Cho Chang lately, you have no interest in the disciplinary committee at all!"

Although this guy was one of the most enthusiastic helpers in giving Harry ideas, that didn't stop him from mocking Harry.

Harry couldn't be bothered to argue with him; that's just Malfoy's personality, and he was used to it.

If you take him too seriously, you'll lose.

This guy is a true Snape imitator; you might not be able to out-insult him with your sarcastic remarks.

"Who is our new member? Do you know?"

Neville answered him: "First in fourth grade, Cedric from Hufflepuff."
