At this moment, the Chinese girl was standing with her friend Marietta, admiring the most eye-catching display case in the center of the store.
There was a broom in the display case, more beautiful than any flying broom he had ever seen.
Levin walked up to the girl and patted her on the shoulder.
When Zhang Qiu turned around, Levin could see that the girl's previously somewhat bored expression instantly turned into one of surprise.
"It's you, Levin. I thought you weren't coming."
“Since I’ve already promised you, how could I not come?” Levin gave a nonchalant smile, completely ignoring the fact that he only managed to come because Hermione was temporarily busy.
"So, what are you doing now?"
“Marieta and I are watching the ‘Firebolt’!” The girl’s voice immediately became excited as she spoke. “It’s the fastest broom in the world, designed by the famous flying broom designer Randolph Badmore, and manufactured by Ellerby and Badmore. The Irish national team ordered seven of them!”
At this point, she drifted into daydreams, "If I could ride this broomstick in the Quidditch Cup, I could definitely sweep aside all the Chasers..."
Seeing Levin and Cho Chang talking about Quidditch, Marietta yawned listlessly.
"Qiu, now that the person you're waiting for has arrived, I'll head back first... I wasted two hours wandering around Hogsmeade just to keep you company while you waited for him, I'm exhausted."
With that, she left the sporting goods store.
At this point, only the two of them remained in the sporting goods store.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward because of Marietta's words.
"I'm sorry, Zhang Qiu, I didn't know you'd been waiting so long... You know, there were some things that happened before." Levin said somewhat apologetically.
From this perspective, he almost stood the other party up.
But Zhang Qiu's smile remained bright: "It's okay, I understand. After all, I was mentally prepared after choosing you."
She said she understood, but her tone still carried a pitiful and sorrowful quality, which made Levin feel somewhat guilty.
However, since he has chosen to have both, this is something he must bear.
Looking at the fire crossbow bolts in the display case, Levin suddenly had an idea.
He asked Zhang Qiu to wait for him there, then went to the counter and found the shop owner.
Soon, he handed Zhang Qiu a carefully packaged crossbow bolt.
"This is."
The girl could hardly believe it.
Levin placed the flying broom in her hand: "You see, a fire bolt. Consider it an early Christmas present."
“But this is too expensive,” Zhang Qiu said, somewhat reluctant to part with the broom, but she quickly shook her head and refused to accept it. “This broom alone costs 400 or 500 Galleons.”
“500 Galleons,” Levin replied, “but I only paid 400 for each one because I bought three at once, almost emptying his stock.”
"Three?!" Zhang Qiu exclaimed in surprise. "Why did you buy so many crossbow bolts?"
“Of course it’s for riding. Quidditch season is just around the corner, it’s perfect for competitions.” Levin said, calculating for her, “One for myself, one for Ciri, and one for you, but unfortunately you’re not willing to accept it.”
"Ciri has one too?" Zhang Qiu grasped the key point.
“That’s right.” Levin nodded. “And she’ll definitely accept it. Ciri never refuses my kindness.”
Upon hearing the news about her love rival, Zhang Qiu gritted her teeth and immediately said, "Fine, I'll take it!"
"Really, that's wonderful."
Levin feigned surprise, but inwardly he was not surprised at all.
Everything went as he expected.
A girl's jealousy, if used properly, can produce amazing results.

Chapter 205 Quidditch in Turmoil
Having overcome the psychological hurdle, Zhang Qiu immediately began to admire the Fire Arrow in front of him with delight, from the golden serial number at the very top of the flying broom all the way to the perfectly smooth, streamlined tip of the broom.
Finally, she carefully handed it to Levin.
"Could you keep it for me for now?" the girl said reluctantly. "I really want to keep it with me, but it's too conspicuous. You can give it back to me when we get back to the lounge, okay?"
“It’s not that complicated, just consider it an extra service.” Levin handed her a small handbag. “It’s a homemade product, it can probably hold a cubic meter of items, more than enough to hold a fire bolt.”
Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Levin compensated, "Don't be fooled by its large capacity. The cost isn't as high as you think. For me, it's just a matter of casting a spell. I can make as many as I want, so take it."
After saying that, he forcefully stuffed it into Zhang Qiu's hand.
Zhang Qiu numbly accepted the handbag and put the fire crossbow bolts and the goods he had previously purchased inside.
She suddenly realized that she didn't really understand the boy next to her.
She was initially attracted to his appearance, but fell in love with him because of their chemistry on the court and his selfless protection of her.
But his understanding of him was limited to his strength and numerous achievements; he didn't know why he could casually make such a large handbag, or why he was so wealthy…
I thought that being with him was a one-sided emotional investment on my part.
But now it seems that all I can offer in 08 is my emotions.
There seemed to be a sad, thick barrier between the two.
They should be more like a helper in one's career.
"Well! I will."
Zhang Qiu nodded obediently.
She thought of Ciri and Hermione, who had indeed made their own conquests in Levin's legendary adventures.
Since that's the case, I can't be worse than them!
The girl silently encouraged herself to become "a woman worthy of Levin Green".
Next, the two strolled around Hogsmeade. Levin took Cho Chang to sit for a while at Madam Patiffe's Tea House before finally heading to Honeydukes to make some purchases.
The owners of both shops were quite sensible and did not expose Levin for bringing different girls on two separate occasions.
"It seems we need to act quickly today."
At Honey Duke, Zhang Qiudao.
"Why?" Levin asked.
“Because of this!” She pointed to the back of the candy store door, where a notice was posted.
Ministry of Magic Order
Customers please note that unless otherwise notified, Dementors patrol the streets of Hogsmeade every day from sunset.
This measure is to protect the safety of the residents of Hogsmeade and will be lifted once Sirius Black is captured.
Therefore, all customers are requested to finish shopping before sunset.
This notice wasn't there when Levin last came; it was probably sent out after he met Fudge at the bar.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately sped up their purchasing.
When he came here with Hermione before, he didn't buy many desserts, just to save them for drinking with Cho.
He still remembered that Zhang Qiu was the one who loved sweets the most among the three girls.
Levin not only bought boxes of snacks, but also ordered a batch of candied fruit, which he had the shopkeeper Froome mail to Hogwarts.
Finally, the two met Cirella and Penelope in the central square of Hogsmeade.
The two were somewhat surprised by the change of Levin's female companion.
However, as fellow Ravenclaws, they were quite familiar with Cho Chang, and were even well aware that Cho Chang coveted Levin.
The four, each with their own ulterior motives, returned to Hogwarts together, seemingly enjoying themselves.
Soon, it was Ravenclaw's Quidditch practice day again.
When the team members discovered that their Ravenclaw team had three extra Firebolts, everyone went crazy.
"I can't believe it!" Roger Davis said hoarsely as he squeezed through the crowd upon hearing the news.
This is a fire bolt, a flying broom that every little wizard dreams of.
But Levin, Cirihong, and Cho Zhang each had one.
"May I touch your treasure?" Roger's voice trembled with excitement.
When Levin handed him the broom, Roger held it in his hands as if it were a priceless treasure, appreciating it slowly.
In the days that followed, Roger Davis seemed to be fueled by the fireball, leading his team with frenzied energy to train as hard as ever, through wind and rain.
But not a single team member complained of being tired or overworked.
As soon as they saw the fire bolts streaking across the sky, they felt as if the glittering Academy Cup was beckoning to them.
Even on their return to the castle, the three of them walked the entire way surrounded by Ravenclaws.
Everyone believed that the fire bolts deserved this treatment.
After learning all this, the other colleges were in an uproar.
Malfoy's face turned ashen; his father would never buy seven fire bolts for Slytherin.
A single fire bolt costs more than all of Slytherin's brooms combined!
Gryffindor suffered an even greater blow, as the gap between them and the Hawks widened after Ravenclaw acquired Levin.
However, Ravenclaw, who possess the Firelord Arrow, did not immediately show their fangs on the field.
The first match was between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.
On the morning of the match, the wind howled and the rain poured down harder than ever before. The corridors and auditorium were so dark that more torches and lanterns were lit.
The wind blew even harder on the field, and the players staggered as they walked onto the field. The captains tried to boost morale, but their attempts to speak were repeatedly thwarted by the wind.
Amidst the rumbling thunder, even as the audience cheered for them, they couldn't hear it.
However, Quidditch matches are not canceled because of something as trivial as a lightning storm.
The Gryffindor and Hufflepuff crews even gave the audience the illusion of being ready to die as they took off.
This was definitely a tough match. In the howling wind, the spectators in the stands could not hear the commentary or see the game clearly. Only the occasional flashes of lightning allowed them to catch a glimpse of the situation on the field.
