Sensing someone approaching from behind, Hermione nimbly twisted her waist to dodge, turned around warily, glared at them, and said irritably:
"How many times has this happened? Do you think I'd fall for it?"
Having dodged Parvati's hungry pounce, Hermione ran half a circle around the table, using the tabletop to separate herself from Parvati.
As soon as Parvati moved, Hermione followed suit.
The two remained separated by a table.
"Why are you running?" Parvati chased Hermione around the table twice but still couldn't catch Hermione, pouting as she asked.
"Then what are you chasing?" Hermione asked warily.
"Why would I chase you if you don't run?" Parvati seemed tired and stopped to say.
"Why would I run if you don't chase me?" Hermione rolled her eyes, still looking wary.
Parvati suddenly accelerated, chasing Hermione around the table, making a series of sharp turns and sudden stops, but Hermione anticipated all of them and dodged them perfectly.
Panting heavily, Parvati reluctantly pulled out a chair and sat down. "I'm not chasing anymore, I'm not chasing anymore."
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards her bed, intending to use the blankets to create a three-dimensional defense, just like before.
When I got to the bedside, I found that my blanket was gone.
Hermione: "???"
"Where's my blanket?" Hermione asked, turning around.
Parvati slowly shifted her chair, gesturing with her chin to the bed opposite Hermione: "It's mine."
Hermione went over to take the blanket back.
As she passed Lavender's bed, she suddenly heard Parvati shout, "Lavender, do it!"
Lavender, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly threw off the covers, jumped out of bed, grabbed Hermione, and pulled her to the table.
Lavender and Parvati positioned themselves in the classic left and right stances, surrounding Hermione in the middle.
"Now, please welcome Judge Wizengamot." Parvati produced a lion doll from somewhere and placed it opposite Hermione.
Hermione stared at the adorable lion plushie for a moment, then asked, somewhat annoyed, "So who are you two?"
"Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement," Lavender said solemnly.
"And the Head of the Auror Office. We're going to question you now, so you'd better tell the truth," Parvati said.
Miss Granger, who was being interrogated by the three judges, sat in her chair somewhat speechlessly, puffing out her cheeks, and said, "Yes, yes, gentlemen, please speak quickly."
Looking at her two serious-looking roommates, Hermione shook her head helplessly. These two had actually come up with something new.
Parvati and Lavender exchanged a smile, then quickly put on a very serious expression and coughed twice.
"Ahem, Miss Granger, did you join Professor Snape's Potions Club with Prewett?" Parvati asked.
Hermione asked curiously, "How did you know?"
Lavender shrugged and answered first, "You could have guessed it."
"You're already exceptionally talented in Potions, and more importantly, Prewett definitely wants to be with you too."
"Don't talk nonsense." Hermione blushed.
Seeing that Hermione was so stubborn she could block the Killing Curse, Lavender was at a loss and gave Parvati a look.
Go, teach her a lesson!
Director Parvati asked mysteriously, "How many people are in the Potions Club?"
"Two," replied the honest Miss Granger.
"Isn't that obvious enough?" Parvati suddenly raised her voice, glanced at the door, then quickly turned back and whispered, "Don't you find it strange that it's just you and Prewett?"
Hermione had a strange feeling when Snape said the Potions Club was full.
Now that Parvati had said that, he felt even stranger and stammered, "Maybe... perhaps... maybe... there's nothing wrong with it?"
"No problem? There's a huge problem!" Parvati tapped the table and leaned half her body toward Hermione.
Lavender seemed equally astonished by Parvati's wild idea, frowning as he asked, "You mean, Professor Snape deliberately put those two together?!"
"You didn't tell me this before." Lavender nudged Parvati with his shoulder.
"I just thought of that myself."
Parvati's eyes gleamed with wisdom, and she grew increasingly excited as she thought about it. She analyzed rapidly, "Think about it, if Professor Snape only wanted to keep Prewett because Master Charlemagne was trying to steal his student, there would be no need for him to bring Hermione along."
"If he only teaches one student, he has more time and energy, and his teaching can be more targeted."
"But he specifically brought Hermione along, and they were the only two people in the entire club. This clearly indicates he has another purpose. For example..."
Parvati finished speaking in one breath and then looked at Hermione meaningfully.
"These are all unreasonable guesses!" Hermione jumped up from her chair, punched the lion doll with a red face, and walked away with her cheeks puffed out.
Lavender reached out and stroked the lion doll's mane, comforting it, "Don't be angry, Your Honor."
Holding the lion plush toy in his arms and comforting it, Lavender asked, "That's Professor Snape, after all. Would he really deliberately pair Prewett and Hermione together?"
Snape's bat-wing-like black robes, his long, greasy hair, and his cold, ruthless gaze flashed through their minds one after another.
"Would someone like him be interested in the relationship between Prewett and Hermione, just like I am?"
The moment the thought crossed their minds, both Parvati and Lavender felt a chill run down their spines.
"It's so strange that Professor Snape is interested in this kind of thing!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Miss Granger tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep...
Silan woke up after sleeping for three hours.
[Deep Sleep: Proficiency +1]
After spending 10 minutes collecting the gold coins from the bed, Silan felt refreshed.
What could be better than waking up and counting your money?
After washing up and tidying herself up, Silan brought up her character profile panel.

[Santa Claus: Delivering Christmas gifts more than ten times each Christmas earns one entry into a prize draw. (Note: Cannot be upgraded)]
After reviewing all the entries from beginning to end, Silan pondered in silence, "As the level increases, the acquisition of new entries and the upgrading of old ones have become much slower. However, this doesn't necessarily hinder progress..."
After all, the keywords only enhance his advantages and cannot directly bring him definite benefits; they mostly play a supporting role.
If you want to make a lot of money and improve your magic skills, you still need to spend time and effort studying and researching.
"[Wandless Casting] is almost leveled up; I can make the most of these next few days to grind it out."
Silan stared at the virtual screen in front of her, noting down several terms that were close to being upgraded, as key areas to focus on improving in the next stage.
It was still dark, and there was plenty of time before class, so Silan changed rooms to practice [Wandless Casting].
[Wandless Casting: Proficiency +1]
[Wandless Casting: Proficiency +1]
After practicing for a while, Silan left the room and headed towards the Rest Room.
Before he even pushed open the door, he could hear George and Fred talking animatedly inside.
"I dare say, this time we'll have a huge sales boom!"
