The Engagement News

In a room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor, Harry, and their friends, who had chosen to gather here to avoid the crowds, did not have the same harmonious atmosphere as they did at the Quidditch Pitch.

They all had strange expressions, their eyes fixed on the ground.

Ron and Ginny stood with their backs to each other, pouting.

All of this stemmed from a conversation that just took place.

That was ten minutes after the game ended. Lavender was pulled away by Professor Trelawney and Parvati, leaving Ron alone.

For a peaceful afternoon, after lunch, Ron, Ginny, and Harry, along with Draco who was temporarily separated from Pansy and the Pansy, spent the rest of the day in the room that Dumbledore had forbidden them from approaching last year, with a pitcher of chilled Pumpkin Juice and snacks such as Chocolate Frog and Licorice Wand.

For some reason, Ron seemed very happy. "Haha, I've finally gotten closer to Lavender! Thanks, Harry!"

"You're welcome." Harry felt a little speechless, and took a sip of the slightly chilled Pumpkin Juice with a few ice crystals to calm his nerves.

What does this have to do with him? And Ginny is right here.

"However, there's one annoying thing: Professor Trelawney, who never leaves her house, actually came to watch the game."

"She and Parvati kept staring at me."

"Why doesn't Parvati sit with her sister Padma?"

"If it weren't for her, my relationship with Lavender would be even closer!" Ron frowned.

He paid no attention to the increasingly unpleasant look on Ginny's face beside him.

"Ron, how about we talk about something else?" Draco, who usually loved seeing Ron make a fool of himself, couldn't help but suggest.

"What else is there to talk about?"

"I think it was Trelawney probably said bad things about me."

"I should have known better than to choose Divination Class; then I would only have nine courses next year." Ron waved his fist, as if punching thin air.

"You despicable hypocrite!"

"He always points fingers at me and Harry."

"Why do they change their attitude when it's their turn?"

"Lavender tried to push you away, but you still wouldn't let go."

"Nausea!"

"I think Parvati and Professor Trelawney did the right thing in this respect."

"They clearly suspect you're with Lavender because of that thing!" Ginny raised an eyebrow, her eyes gleaming with disdain.

In her view, Trelawney and Parvati were just doing the same things Ron did to her and Harry.

Harry winked discreetly at Ginny and cautiously gave her a thumbs-up.

Draco stopped Ron from walking toward Ginny.

So, they've been in a cold war ever since.

Harry's ears twitched almost imperceptibly. The flapping of an owl's wings came from afar, growing louder as it approached.

It reached Harry's ears.

"Hedwig!"

"It's you!" Hedwig affectionately pecked Harry's fingers, revealing the letter on his right leg.

[Dear Harry, Harry, you are indeed James' son. You and your friends, just like we were back then, have found the Screaming Shack.]

Also, riding on Remus with Shrinking Solution is a great idea.

Unlike before, when we could only transform into animals and move around in the tunnels.

Remus and Tonks are back together, so you don't need to worry.

You seem to already know that Voldemort will be resurrected soon next year. I don't know how you know that.

But this will not affect the arrangements to come.

Or rather, it is precisely because he is to be resurrected that we—hold a feast, so that the world may be filled with more love.

Upon seeing this, Harry couldn't help but swallow hard, and Ginny's eyes lit up.

Ron couldn't care less about being angry anymore.

Draco chuckled mischievously.

A banquet that should have been held long ago—your engagement party with Ginny.

The date is set for June 21st. I asked Dumbledore, and he said that your powers have stabilized and you no longer need to return to the Dursley family.

If possible, I would like you to come to me yourself.

Love, Sirius Black Family

"Harry, Harry, can you hear me?"

"We're getting engaged, just like Draco and Pansy."

"This month!"

"Two weeks and two days!" Ginny hugged Harry and clung to his neck.

Ginny, you're still a child!

"I won't allow it!" Ron roared, his fiery red hair standing on end.

"At this point, you can finally remember that I'm a child?"

"Isn't Lavender a child in the eyes of Parvati and Professor Trelawney?" Ginny's face fell, and she turned to retort to Ron.

"This is different!"

"This is an engagement!"

"You should find someone more reliable—I mean, Harry might be good, but he's just a kid. Maybe you'll meet someone better, someone more suitable for you in the future," Ron replied, blushing but unwavering.

"Draco, you be the judge!"

"As someone who's been engaged before, why don't you give Harry and the others some advice!" Ginny and Ron stared at Draco, who was watching the commotion.

"Well, since they're engaged, it means Mr. Weasley have both agreed."

"The same goes for Sirius."

"Since the adults have agreed, and Harry and Ginny are willing, I think Ron, you shouldn't cause any more trouble." Draco looked at Ginny and Ron, and said after careful consideration.

"Harry doesn't want to!"

"I've noticed!"

"Harry used to watch Cho Chang, the Third Year Ravenclaw Quidditch Team Chaser, practice every morning."

"And there's Lady Grey, the ghost of Ravenclaw —I heard Harry call her Helena."

"You know, ghosts these days are evolving into living beings—who knows, maybe one day ghosts will be able to have children with humans."

"You can see that from Myrtle."

"As Ginny's brother, I think she should carefully consider getting engaged to Harry —he probably doesn't want to settle down so soon." Ron seemed like a different person, looking at Harry with a critical eye.

The Harry before him no longer seemed like his friend, but rather a long-standing enemy.

"Harry!" Ginny looked at Harry was sweating slightly.

Have you forgotten?

"Back then, I had to get up at 6 a. m. every day to do what?"

"I've already told you about the side effects of that, haven't I?"

"As for Lady Grey, she could be my great-great-grandmother." Harry gave Ginny a disapproving look.

He did develop feelings for both of them, but at that time Ginny wasn't with him yet.

Draco, on the other hand, was completely baffled.

Why does Harry wake up at 6 a. m.?

And what is that, and what are its side effects?

But now is clearly not the time to ask those questions.

"You dare say you never had any feelings for them?" Ron continued, unconvinced.

"Shut up, Ron!" Harry and Ginny said in unison, and then hugged each other again.
