Chapter 191 Avoiding each other is also a kind of fun
"Parting always happens in January, oh, and September; memories are the sorrow of longing."
The winter fog of London kissed my forehead.
......"
Hermione went up to the attic to urge them to set off, listening somewhat blankly as someone hummed a song.
She couldn't understand what was being sung, only that the melody was a bit sad—after all, the guy's expression was indeed very sad, it was just a bit too deliberate.
Then, when he sang a certain line, he held my head and pressed his hand to my forehead.
"Hermione, Qin! We need to hurry, there might be traffic on the way!"
Just then, her mother's voice came from downstairs.
The person was startled, their eyes filled with lingering fear.
This made the little witch shake her head inwardly, thinking to herself, with this kind of courage, what can she expect him to accomplish in the future?
The guy peeked downstairs, and after finding everything was safe, his expression relaxed again. He continued humming a song and making the final tidying up.
After everything was almost tidied up, he glanced around, adjusted the placement of a few small items on the desk, and finally nodded in satisfaction.
"...London, the only thing I can take with me is you~"
She sang another line, and then he pulled her along, and she took her luggage and went downstairs.
……
As Mrs. Granger said, the road was indeed a bit congested.
Fortunately, they set off early and arrived at King's Cross Station at just 10:40.
Practice makes perfect; now I can time things just right.
This time, the emotions between the two sides were not as complicated as they were last time.
After all, Miss Granger is no longer a clueless new student at the magic school. She might even be able to sit down and comment on those juniors who were making a fuss when they wore the Sorting Hat next September.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger, the parents, have also emerged from their initial confusion and uncertainty about the magical world. Although they are still filled with confusion and uncertainty, they are much more at ease now that they see their daughter lively and energetic, even better than before.
Of course, Qin's existence, his reliability and steadiness, also gave the couple a great sense of reassurance. With his care, they didn't have to worry too much about their daughter—and the facts proved this to be true.
“…Take good care of yourself, listen to Qin, and remember to write to your parents often.” Mrs. Granger gave her another few words of advice at the station entrance.
"Yes, I will, Mom! You two take good care of yourselves too. When you and Dad have a holiday, go on a trip. The weather in London is really not good." Hermione also gave her parents advice.
Then, the four of them—two adults and two children—waved goodbye.
After watching the two children enter the train station, Mr. Granger pulled his wife back to the car.
Although Mrs. Granger didn't cry like she did when she said goodbye to the children last time, she was clearly not in a very good mood.
On the way back, Mr. Granger comforted his wife for a while, which cheered her up.
Seeing that it was still early, Mr. Granger suggested that they rent a few more videotapes.
Then, the couple discussed whether to watch some of the new B-movies from North America or more artistic films in the style of the French New Wave, and finally decided to rent and watch both.
Since the two kids aren't home, it doesn't matter whether the film is rated 18 or 19.
Since the conversation turned to movies, it naturally flowed to the topics of their activities outside of watching the films.
“Honestly, Jenny, these two kids are getting bigger and bigger, and I’m really worried that they might accidentally see us one day,” Mr. Granger said somewhat awkwardly as he drove.
"Yes, yes! So we need to be careful. We almost got caught by them several times during this holiday." Mrs. Granger still feels a bit nervous and scared for herself when she thinks about it now.
At this point, she couldn't help but pat her husband lightly, saying with a hint of reproach, "I told you it was dangerous, but you had to be so anxious! It was daytime!"
"Hehe, I thought they were taking a nap," Mr. Granger said somewhat embarrassedly.
“Even so, it depends on the occasion,” Mrs. Granger said, rolling her eyes at him.
Of course, Mr. Granger, who was driving, didn't receive the eye roll, but he definitely sensed the tone of the voice. After all, they had been married for many years and knew each other very well.
Then he turned to his wife with a grin and said, "But you have to admit, you were pretty into it, weren't you, Jenny?"
"Drive carefully, David!"
Mrs. Granger blushed and gave her husband a light tap.
Then, I found myself unconsciously reminiscing about those experiences.
As she pondered, her gaze became somewhat unfocused as she looked at her husband—Mr. Granger still hadn't seen what was happening.
Mrs. Granger instinctively reached out her right hand, intending to place it on her husband's leg...
(Note: In the UK, cars are right-hand drive, with the driver on the right and the passenger on the left, so Mrs. Granger was extending her right hand.)
Just then, a series of car horns from behind startled her and stopped her from taking any further action, preventing Mrs. Granger from doing anything that would affect her husband's safe driving on the busy street.
Don't drive when you're supposed to be driving; only drive when you're not supposed to be driving.
Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes!
Remember to follow driving rules!
“Well, David, I must say, we still need to keep the children away, no matter what,” Mrs. Granger said to Mr. Granger, banishing her distractions.
“Yes, you’re right, they’re still young after all.” Mr. Granger nodded in deep agreement.
As the saying goes, even a stick can be afraid of both sides when fighting a wolf.
They were afraid that the two children would discover some of their actions, little did they know that the two children were also afraid of being discovered while doing certain things.
Yeah, let's just avoid each other.
Perhaps, hiding is a unique kind of fun.
……
Time flies like sand, and years pass like a galloping horse.
Life is like a train journey over mountains and valleys, passing by one landscape after another, stopping at a certain station, leaving behind deep and shallow imprints after getting off.
With these thoughts in mind, Qin Yu boarded the Hogwarts Express and arrived at Hogsmeade Station.
The little witch who had been sleeping with her head on his lap woke up at that moment—or perhaps she was awakened by people passing by in the corridor, as things were gradually getting noisier outside.
So, taking advantage of the little witch's dazed state, someone quickly bent down and gently touched her forehead, completely waking up the princess who had been sleeping for so long.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts, Miss Granger!"
"Welcome back again, Mr. Qin!"
After saying this serious sentence, the two couldn't help but laugh. It was a kind of amusing feeling that the other was a little silly, and a pleasant feeling of having someone to be silly with.
In winter, Black Lake is covered with a thick layer of ice, and people can walk directly across the ice.
After getting off the vehicle, the young wizards boarded sleds pulled by tall reindeer. Each reindeer had a pair of antlers that looked like intricate tree branches, making them look very majestic and imposing.
When reindeer pull sleds across the ice, it really feels like riding in Santa's sleigh.
Especially the one Hagrid was piloting; if he were to wear a red cotton coat and a matching red triangular hat, he would look even more like the real thing.
Qin Yu and Hermione were Hagrid's passengers.
The first-year wizards, riding a snow sled for the first time, were naturally very excited. It was much more fun than taking a boat ride at the beginning of the school year. Many of them ignored Hagrid's prior warning and opened their arms to the cold wind, shouting and yelling.
However, when they reached the shore, everyone's noses and ears were red from the cold, some had runny noses, and others were sneezing.
I imagine the door to Mrs. Pomfrey, the school doctor, will be packed with patients today.
Qin Yu promptly stopped Hermione, who was about to be exposed to the wind, and even used his arm to shield her from the wind.
At this moment, although the little witch's face was rosy, she wasn't really cold.
They followed the crowd back to school, then went to their respective dormitories to put down their luggage, tidied up a bit, and finally went to the auditorium together.
A hot and hearty dinner awaited them there.
Sitting at the dining table, many people hadn't seen each other for days, so naturally there were greetings and casual conversations.
As the holiday drew to a close, Hogwarts returned to its bustling state.
