The Fragrance Between a Girl's Lips

As the two ate and chatted,

a loud argument suddenly broke out at the table to Harry's left. "Ron, it's all because of you that Gryffindor lost so many points today!" a boy said.

Ron muttered, "I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, didn't Harry earn the points back today?"

Harry took a bite of pie, lowered his head slightly, and seemed to wear a faintly mocking smile.

Hermione shot him a glare and said irritably, "Who offended you this time? Why are you smiling so nastily?"

"Cough, cough..." Harry choked on his pie, his eyes rolling upward as if he were about to choke to death. Hermione immediately panicked, at a complete loss.

"Here's water, hurry..." Hermione quickly pushed the cup in front of Harry. His face had already turned red from lack of air. He grabbed the cup as though it were a lifeline and gulped down the water.

Only after finishing the water did Harry let out a breath. Then he suddenly frowned and said solemnly, "This cup..."

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, frightened by his expression.

"This cup..." Harry closed his eyes as if reminiscing, a smile on his lips. "It still carries the fragrance between a girl's lips. I just don't know whose it is. If only I could meet her, that would truly be..."

Hermione's face turned red, then black. She went completely dark as she said ominously, "Mr. Potter, do you want to die?"

"Ha, hahaha, just kidding, just kidding." Harry wiped away a bead of sweat. What terrifying killing intent!

"Give me the cup," Hermione said coldly.

"Here." Harry handed it to her.

A vein bulged on Hermione's forehead as she enunciated each word. "Why haven't you let go yet?"

Harry blinked innocently. "I did let go. Is the cup too heavy for you to hold—"

"Ah, let go—no, let go with your mouth!" Hermione finally ran out of patience. She actually leaned over, tilted her head, and bit Harry's hand!

Startled, Harry let go. Hermione hurriedly snatched the cup into her hands.

"You really bit me!" Harry shook his hand and held it before his eyes. There was a neat circle of teeth marks on the back of it!

Harry gently blew on his hand. Looking at the bite marks from up close, he could not help freezing. Some of Hermione's saliva remained on them. When she had bitten him just now, it seemed something wet had touched him as well...

Seeing Harry staring blankly at his teeth marks, Hermione finally realized what she had just done. Wasn't that a little too intimate?

Hermione said shyly, "What are you looking at?"

"Uh, nothing, really!" Harry made a decision in his heart: for the next three days, his hand absolutely could not touch water!!

"Hmph, what were you laughing about just now?" Clever Hermione changed the subject.

"Oh, that..." Come to think of it, all of this seemed to have started because of that smile.

Just as Harry was about to explain, the argument beside them seemed to escalate.

"Look at how many points Gryffindor has lost since the start of term because of you!" a boy said to Ron. "Bang!" Ron finally exploded. He slammed a hand on the table and stood up, knocking a plate of sauce onto himself and making him look thoroughly bedraggled.

"You're always talking about me. Why don't you look at yourself? Didn't you get criticized plenty of times in Potions class?"

"Say that again!" the boy said furiously.

"I'll say it again! You..." Ron had apparently taken plenty of criticism from other students, and all his anger erupted at once!

"Enough, stop arguing. The Head of House will be here soon..." a short boy with glasses tried to persuade them. But they both shoved him, accidentally knocking him over.

They exchanged a look, each blaming the other. And so, war broke out!

No one knew who made the first move, but the two began wrestling across the table. Everyone nearby quickly moved away. Clatter, crash—tableware was knocked to the floor and shattered!

But the two of them finally remembered that they were wizards. Almost simultaneously, they drew their wands and pointed them at each other!

Everyone else realized that something serious might really happen. They hurriedly began shouting at them from the sidelines when a gloating voice rang out from afar. "Hurry up and fight! I didn't expect to get such a good show during dinner. Don't tell me you're too scared to do it!!"

Who else could it be but Malfoy from Slytherin? Ron and the other boy, who had been wavering, immediately hardened their resolve. If Malfoy looked down on them, how could they ever hold their heads high again? The two eleven-year-old boys thought childishly.

But they had only just begun learning magic and were racking their brains for attack spells they could use.

However, at that moment, a sharp female cry rang out. "Separation Charm!" The two people facing off across the table seemed to have been struck by something and each stumbled several steps backward, unable to keep their balance.

Immediately afterward came, "Expelliarmus!" Two beams of light shot from the tip of Hermione's wand, accurately striking Ron's and the other boy's wands and sending them flying beyond the crowd!

Only two seconds had passed since Hermione acted. The students who had been worried had not even had time to react.

That was it... it was over? They felt an absurd sense of disbelief. We weren't even ready yet!

They turned to look at Hermione. Her wand was still raised, and the students she pointed it at immediately scattered. It was terrifying, okay?!

Ron and the other boy remained stunned even longer. They had no idea what had happened and stared blankly at their empty hands. Where were their wands?

Although the students had been startled, their hearts immediately began burning with excitement. So this was magic! They had attended classes for several weeks and learned some magical knowledge, but they had never known what magic truly looked like or what it felt like to use it. What they had just witnessed completely ignited them!

So cool, wasn't it! Hermione was so cool, wasn't she! Magic was so cool, wasn't it!

At that moment, an opening appeared in the loosely formed circle of people, and Harry walked in.

The protagonist always appeared last, didn't you know?

Right, first came the lesson!

Harry looked at the two boys. They both lowered their heads involuntarily. "Ron, have you considered that if you used magic to duel today, the two of you could very likely be expelled from Hogwarts?"

Their faces instantly turned pale, and their whole bodies trembled.

"That's all I'll say. Think about it yourselves," Harry said blandly.

The end of a wand slid out from Harry's sleeve and pointed at the scraps of food and broken plates on the floor. "Scourgify!" Everything on the ground vanished at once, as though a layer had been peeled away.

"This..." Everyone nearby drew in a sharp breath. They knew this spell well; Snape often used it in Potions class.

But wasn't this a spell for upper-year students?!

"Let's go," Harry said to Hermione. Hermione followed behind Harry as they slowly walked out of the crowd.

As they passed Malfoy, Harry suddenly turned his head and stared at him with a cold laugh. "Serves you right for running your mouth!" Malfoy seemed to sense what was coming and tried to dodge, but...

"Silencing Charm!" A beam of light struck Malfoy.

"This spell will keep your mouth shut for a day. If you ask a professor to help you, hehe, you know what will happen..." Harry wore a devilish smile!

Malfoy was on the verge of tears. My mouth is so cheap. Too cheap!
