She saw Li Su with a serious expression.

And then there was Li Su's clenched fist...

So serious!

Has something big happened again? Or has that bastard Tom offended someone again without my knowledge?

“Go on,” Hermione said, sitting up in bed just like Li Su. “I’ll listen carefully.”

"I... never mind, you go to sleep first, I'm too scared."

Hermione: "?"

No, are all you guys cowards?

Oh, except for Tom, that's a jerk, not a ghost.

"Su, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm going to sleep."

Li Su felt that her heart was divided into two sides, black and white.

There was a little Harry floating in the sky on the black area. He urged Li Su to speak up quickly, saying that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that if he didn't speak up now, when would he ever get another chance?

On the other white side, there's a little... why is it a little Tom?

Little Tom stammered and mumbled something about friendship and bonds, babbling on and on, but Li Su couldn't understand a word he said.

In short, just go for it.

Right here!

"Tom, I want to ask you something. Do you... only have friendship with Hermione?"

"What else?" Hermione asked, puzzled. "Do we look like we have some other kind of relationship?"

You see, we're either arguing or fighting every day. It's only because she's weak now; once she gets stronger, the fighting will be even worse… What exactly are you trying to say?”

"You know, if I asked Hermione to be my future dance partner, would we have a chance? I mean... well... you know, Hermione is from a Muggle family, and I'm pretty much the same, so I think we'd be a good match."

confession?

Hermione curled up in bed.

For me?

But we're not close at all. All I know is that you're a little idiot, and that's all I know.

Imagine what Tom would say?

"Lady Luck won't be on your side. Give up on that idea, Sue. Hermione isn't right for you. You deserve better." Hermione chattered like a little pea shooter. "Hermione's heart is only for studying, really only for studying. She craves knowledge and isn't interested in this kind of thing."

After saying that, Hermione threw herself into the blankets.

Time to sleep!

Suddenly, she lifted the covers again: "But I can take you to see Hermione tomorrow. You can talk to her yourself, be a man, and don't be so hesitant like you were today."

This time, Hermione really did lie down.

It's so interesting to think about!

I wonder what Tom's response will be to Li Su's confession.

Reject Li Su like a gentleman... no, like a lady?

That doesn't seem like something Tom would do.

With her imagination running wild, Hermione drifted off to sleep.

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, Hermione pulled Li Su out of bed.

"Let me sleep a little longer..."

"Sleep, keep sleeping! If you keep sleeping, Hermione will go out to play with other people! Hurry up, get up right now!"

Hermione grabbed Li Su by the ear and pulled him up, watching him go to wash up.

"Can you fix your hair? It looks so messy!"

Oh my god, why are your two socks different colors, and there's a hole in your toe...

Wizard robes? Just because you're wearing wizard robes on the outside doesn't mean you don't need to dress up your clothes underneath!

Li Su suddenly felt her head buzzing.

Why... does it seem like Tom wants to succeed more than I do?

Is Tom really only friends with Hermione?

Then...wouldn't I have a very good chance?

Perhaps I could prepare a bouquet of roses and take the opportunity to arrange a wedding with Hermione?

"Tom, do you think I have a chance?"

I didn't have a chance; I just wanted to see you make a fool of yourself.

Hermione, of course, didn't say it aloud. She coughed and said, "Do you know Schrödinger's cat? If you put a cat and a bottle of poison in a cardboard box, the cat has a 50% chance of survival as long as you don't open the box!"

So, I don't know if you have a chance. As long as you haven't tried, you only have a 50% chance of success. But that's always 50%. In many things in life, 50% = 0%!

Li Su thought about what Hermione said for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. How do I look in this outfit?"

"Good, let's go catch her."

"Catch?" Li Su asked, taken aback. "Isn't that word a bit inappropriate?"

"Never mind all that, let's go!"

……

"Today we have a special burger made by Ms. Mona, Hermione, could you bring me two when you come back..." My roommate's voice was still half asleep early in the morning.

Every weekend, the two girls in the Gryffindor girls' dormitory sleep until the sun sets.

According to them, weekday classes are already grueling enough, and they have to make up for it on weekends.

And that's exactly what they did.

"I'll check when I get back, but can you guys hold out until then?" Tom glanced at the time; it was only a little past seven, and he wouldn't be back until at least midnight.

Will these two starve to death?

"I can manage... Thank you, Hermione. Let's go back to sleep."

Tom fell to the ground and quickly heard the two men breathing evenly; they were clearly asleep.

As a light snow fell in winter, Tom put on a pair of thick red snow boots, leaving footprints on the ground.

"what--"

Tom suddenly bent down.

"boom!"

The snowball flew over his head and landed a short distance away.

If Tom hadn't dodged that blow, the fine snow would have landed on his neck.

Turning around, Tom saw Hermione's smug smile.

"Okay, you want to have a snowball fight with me? To be fair, how about you throw your wand away?" Tom was the first to toss his wand aside.

"Hmph, fine, you've missed your only chance to defeat me." Hermione did as she was told.

Li Su, who was standing to the side who had been prepared, was stunned when she saw the two of them. She stood there dumbfounded and did not continue to move forward.

"I'll smash it!"

"That's it? Look at my super snowball!"

"No, how can you use magic?"

Tom casts spells silently. For Tom, the wand is merely a bonus; he can use many spells even without the wand.

"You cheat!"

"Hey." Tom beckoned with his finger, and several snowballs swirled around him. "The struggle for the crown prince is just like this. Let me see your arrogant face. Take this!"

Snowballs rained down on Hermione, leaving marks on her body and head.

……

Li Su stopped in his tracks, rubbed the roses in his hands, and hid them in his pocket.

Take a deep breath, and the air you exhale forms a white mist that drifts and fades until it slowly disappears into the horizon.

Terry arrived at some point and patted Li Su on the shoulder: "Su, I've told you before, if there's no chance, there's no chance. You saw how good Hermione and Tom's relationship is, so don't even think about it."

My guess is that for the next few years, Hermione's dance partner will only be Tom.

But Tom might not be.

After all, he's the kind of person who gets candy from Senior Zhang Qiu, so maybe he'll have several dance partners in the future?

"Go back, I can have hot black tea with you tonight."

Why not mulled honey wine?

“Because I hate alcohol.” Terry shrugged. “And your Hermione Club, you should just quit. I can already see how you all end up.”

"No one can control Hermione except Tom. Try throwing a snowball at her if you don't believe me."

"Am I going to get beaten up?" Li Su wondered. "They won't both attack me together, will they?"

"Good to know. Let's go." Terry patted his shoulder and led Li Su away from this sad place.

The snowball fight between the two became increasingly intense.

—But it was only one-sided and intense.
