Chapter 18. Boys

The night after Christmas, when returned to Hogwarts, students had a good time.

Della and her friends chatted happily in the common room, talked about their Christmas gifts, and had a dinner even bigger than the Christmas one.

She also spent more than an hour chatting with Fred on a sofa before going to take a shower.

They shared the same bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.

Della even mentioned the pomade in the Christmas gift that Hermione received.

Fred was a little embarrassed. Not that he didn't want to buy the better one, but…

"If only you could do it." His girlfriend expected.

"Oh, honey," Fred turned happy, "you really think I'm omnipotent, don't you?" Della had no doubt of his ability. "You can, can't you?"

"Oh." Fred sighed and leaned over.

They kissed each other through air.

After that, Fred looked at her affectionately and asked, "when can I really kiss you?" Della replied, "…after you finished your experiment of Amortentia?" Fred began to figure out when he could be able to work out the weakened version.

Then he cried, "would be until next year?" Dell's face went bad.

Fred quickly made up for it: "Honey, I'm not saying you're not important…"

At that time, students around were waiting for their… another break-up.

Della calmed down.

Fred talked her for a long time, praised her from head to toe, then her mood became better. She even thought if next time she was angry, it's no necessary to break up, she can punish Fred for saying nice words to her.

Then she went back to her bedroom, took a bath, took a night care of her skin, and tried Hermione's pomade — it really worked!

If its price was not so outrageous, she could… buy one.

Finally, she sprayed it on her pillow, lay down and smelled again the odour of Fred's sweater — The instruction indicated to spray it on the pillow or blanket, it would be the smell you most desired to have.

She also told Hermione this secret, which made her wonder what smell did Hermione have before she fell asleep.

Then she was asleep.

Later, all of a sudden, she woke up.

Della bounced out of bed, still at a loss. In front of her, everyone was up, Katie was still holding her pillow.

Outside door was in chaos, someone was running up and down the stairs.

Della scratched her head and glanced at the magic clock at the head of the bed: Two o'clock in the morning.

Della: "What happened?" Katie replied, "I don't know, but you'd better got up and put on your cloak, maybe…"

The door was knocked by the Prefect. "Bundle up and come out." She said outside.

Della had to get up, put on her cloak, hat and scarf, looked at her feet, and put on her dragon-hide boots.

"What's up?" Katie asked. "Boy's dormitory has been invaded," said the female Prefect.

A room of girls looked at each other.

Della asked for everyone, "well… did you talk about girl's dormitory?"

The Prefect shook her head, "no, it's boy's."

There was a deep sigh in the room.

Della: "May I ask which bedroom it is?"

"Harry Potter's," said the Prefect, paused and went on complicatedly, "Ronald Weasley was attacked."

The girls looked at each other again.

Della: "it's really…" She was stuck.

Everyone looked at her and waited for her words.

Strange? Peculiar? Incredible?

Della: "…pitiful." She finally expressed sympathy.

The girls came out of the bedroom in cloaks, hats and scarves and to the common room.

It's Ron on the sofa, covered in blankets, surrounded by people.

Hermione and Harry sat beside him.

Fred and George were by the side.

Fred: "It's incredible."

George: "Yes, it's probably the only time in your life that you've been passionately pursued."

The students around cachinnated.

Romilda Vane called out to stop them: "You're so mean!" She stared at the twins sternly, then squatted in front of Ron and held his hand, "you must be scared."

Harry nodded, "yes, he woke us all up."

Ron's eyes were red, and so as to his nose, he must have cried. "Fair enough, Harry. I saw Sirius Black standing in front of my bed like he was going to kill me!" Harry frowned, "then he must have mistaken. It's me that he wants to kill."

Ron sniffed, "oh, he should have found out that he had identified the wrong person, since he ripped my bed nets and stopped when he saw me. Then he ran away."

Hermione sighed, "I have to say, you're so lucky. He's in Azkaban and must be mad. He can recognize you're not Harry," she hugged Ron and Harrys "you're both lucky tonight!"

Harry blushed.

Ron struggled uneasily. "Hey, let go!" Hermione did so. Ron muttered, "you're not my mother." He shivered as if he thought of his mother's arms.

Fred: "Oh my poor little brother." He also hugged Ron.

Ron screamed and struggled.

Fred let go of him, but George sighed with "oh my dear little brother!" and hugged Ron again.

Ron yelled and struggled again. He got angry because people around were not sympathy to him but started cackling.

He thought the twins were trying to make fun of him.

Della looked around and said to Katie, "Fred is so considerate."

Katie was not sure: "What?" Della: "He made fun of Ron so he wouldn't be scared. Look, Ron is much better now."

Katie looked at Ron, who was going to be mad, in red. Unfortunately, he can't win his two brothers.

"…All right." Katie took a look at Della, "whatever."

Finally, all of them had to go to the dining room to sleep.

Because Sirius Black destroyed the door of Gryffindor, and everyone could come in now.

The students, dressed in pajamas and cloaks, lined up and went downstairs to the cafeteria.

Fred said to Della, "that's great. We can be the first one to have breakfast next morning."

Katie heard it nearby, rolled her eyes, but saw Della chuckled happily. She said to Angelina, "if everyone falls in love like Della, who think everything about her boyfriend is good…" She shivered, "that's terrible." She couldn't image being so stupid.

Angelina: "Everyone is different, maybe you won't."

Katie nodded, "yes, I will keep calm."

The dining room was full of sleeping bags, the long tables were gone.

She and Fred could lie together this time, with their sleeping bags next to each other.

When Della got into her bag, Fred held her cloak and said, "I can watch you till you fall asleep."

The two chortled at each other. Percy Weasley, the brother of the twins, came up and urged his brother, "get into your bag, it's time of lights out."

Fred shook his head, got into his sleeping bag and said to Percy, "I don't think you have a girlfriend."

Percy blushed, "don't worry about me! Now, close your eyes!" Fred: "Are you going to sing me a lullaby next, dear brother?"

Percy stormed off.

Headmaster Dumbledore came, and said, "good night." Then he raised his wand and put a pure white spell.

Della fell asleep, very fast, without a dream.

———————————————

Lupin was running in the campus, chasing a running figure in front of him.

He suddenly rolled to the ground, became a four feet animal, and ran faster.

Lupin watched him run farther, he had to put a spell.

But the figure of the four feet was very nimble, he seemed to know the movement behind him, turned around and jumped away from the incantation.

Lupin had to catch up more closely and kept sending spells.

However, he lost it in the end.

He panted and stopped, feeling that he had never been so tired.

He hoped others could be luckier them him.

In the morning, when Della and her friends woke up, they need to go back to the tower to change clothes before came back.

Fred: "How inconvenient. Why don't we go up after breakfast?" Professor McGonagall walked around to urge everyone, hearing this, she turned around and said, "Mr. Weasley, you should hurry up, or you will miss your breakfast."

"Of course, professor, I'm leaving now." Fred said sweetly at once.

Then he winked at Della and sped off with George.

Della giggled and went with Katie and Angelina.

She just found out that she couldn't find Hermione.

So strange, she was just there.

Harry was looking around, too. When he saw her, he came over and asked, "do you see Hermione? I can't find her."

Della shook her head. "She may have left." But it didn't make sense, she didn't wait for her nor Harry.

Harry nodded hesitantly.

Della hurried upstairs to wash herself, put on her robe, took her bag and ran down, only to find Hermione sitting at the table for breakfast.

"It's no fair! How could you be faster than me?" She said, sat next to her,

Hermione was about to talk to her when Harry ran in breathlessly, sat on the other side of her and handed over a book, "here, I'm afraid you haven't got the textbook, so I asked Romilda to get it for me."

Hermione frowned at the name of "Romilda", but she accepted it happily.

She looked around Harry and asked strangely, "what about Ron? Aren't you together?"

Harry: "Romilda stopped him, she seemed to comfort him."

Hermione gently uttered a sound, exchanged a look with Harry, and both of them chuckled.

Della had never felt herself transparent.

She ate eggs in silence and finally waved happily when saw Fred, "dear, come on!"

Fred took only two sandwiches and left. He sent Della a kiss, "honey, I have to go! My homework is short for three inches!"

Above them, Professor McGonagall glanced at him, apparently heard the word.

Fred ran away, and Della's face turned black again.

She wanted to complain to Hermione but saw Hermione and Harry were talking happily, they seemed to be talking about a very difficult spell.

…She never knew Harry was a good student.

But now he seemed to have a lot experience with this difficult spell, and he's actually giving Hermione some tips.

He · was · instructing · Hermione!

"The Patronus Charm requires a little skill, but it's not difficult at all…"

She sighed heavily in her heart: Boys!
