HP Dual Masters and I had a blast in Hogwarts.

Chapter 28 Dating

"Ayers?" After parting ways with Severus, he walked out of the alley in a bad mood and ran into an acquaintance.

"Senior Diggory." This time, I really didn't realize it; I found love around the corner.

"Was that Professor Snape just now?" Cedric's eyesight is really good; he could see me and Professor Snape even in such a dark alley.

"My guardian." There's nothing that can't be said, except that it's unclear how much Cedric actually saw.

"Hmm, do you have time to go for a walk together?" Only Cedric himself knows how much he saw.

"I'm meeting the twins at Flourish and Blotts. Want to come along?" Let's talk about teaching them back at Hogwarts; there's plenty of time, isn't there?

“Let’s go together then, I also have a few books to buy.” Cedric and I left together towards Flourish and Blotts.

When we arrived at Flourish and Blotts, we saw the Weasleys still shopping for books.

Just as it was their turn to pay, Cedric and I arrived.

"I'll take care of you. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

As a Harry Potter fan, I understand the Weasley family's situation, and since I earned my first money from Percy's mission, I'll cover the cost of this book.

"That's not really appropriate," Mrs. Weasley said, a little embarrassed that a guest had to pay for a book.

“It’s okay, Mom, that’s just how Ayers is.” Fred was used to it; they’d known each other for a year, and they all knew what kind of person I was.

“Yes, Mom, why don’t you give him a different Christmas present?” George had even thought of a way to solve his mother’s problem.

"You two brats!" Mrs. Weasley said to her two sons, sounding both embarrassed and angry.

“It’s alright, Mrs. Weasley.” I smiled slightly.

“Look at Mom, that’s how Ayers is.” Fred thought that this was just my usual behavior.

"Ayers, look what I found! I think you'll love this book." Cedric walked over excitedly, holding a book in his hand.

I looked through the books, and realized I hadn't actually read them before.

"Hmm, this book is quite interesting. Could you please wrap it up as well?" He handed the book to the cashier.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I sensed a hint of Percy watching me from behind.

When I looked over, he was intently looking at the book in his hands, as if it were just my imagination.

While I was chatting with Steve, the Weasleys had already bought all the other necessities, including mine; the books were just the last thing they needed.

But I've grown up too fast this year, and my school uniform and some clothes no longer fit. So I have to go to the Madam Malkin's Robe Shop with Cedric.

Finally, Cedric and I had to part ways with the Weasleys in front of Flourish and Blotts.

Cedric had just gone to Diagon Alley to buy things, so we agreed to go together. The Weasleys could only help me take the things I had already bought back to the Burrow, and I could go back by myself after I finished shopping. Anyway, I've already learned Apparition, and all I need is a certificate from the Ministry of Magic.

"Ayers, you've grown up way too fast this summer."

Cedric also thought I had grown a lot taller during the holiday.

"Maybe it's because I've been exercising all holiday that I've started to grow taller." When I hugged Si Jiao just now, I felt like I had grown a lot taller, I think I'm already 160cm, and Si Jiao is probably over 170cm.

So much so that I have to buy new school uniforms and some everyday clothes because they feel too small. My 4S+ body size is no joke!

“That’s true, after all, you’re still growing.” Cedric felt that his clothes were fine and he could still wear them this year, so there was no need to buy any more.

"Diggory, you're talking like you won't grow any taller. Come on, I've already made arrangements. I'll have an owl deliver it for me. I'll go with you to buy your school supplies." After paying, I dragged Cedric shopping.

Diagon Alley is really, really not a good date spot.

I remember that Cedric, besides being good at Transfiguration, also seemed to like Quidditch.

Diagon Alley was really crowded, so I consciously held Cedric's hand and walked through the crowd.

I can't afford a Nimbus broom, but I can go with him to take a look.

"There are a lot of people now, so we won't get lost if we hold hands." I didn't dare look behind me. I actually managed to hold the hand of this little sun today. Last time when we were on a mission, I only held hands briefly. It was nothing compared to this enjoyment.

Cedric Diggory's palms are really warm and soft. His hands don't sweat easily, and they feel comfortable and warm to the touch, like a warmth that warms your heart.

“Okay, actually you can call me by my name, Diggory, it sounds a bit awkward.” Cedric held my hand tightly from behind me. He didn’t mind holding my hand. The little hand I was holding was very slender, and my palm could just cover it.

"Okay, Cedric, look, this broom is really nice, it looks so cool." He pulled Cedric to the busiest spot, admiring the newest broom in the shop window. It wasn't just forced praise; the broom genuinely was very attractive.

"It really is quite nice." What Quidditch player wouldn't like a broom? It's just that they don't have the money to buy one. Cedric's family isn't exactly wealthy either, so they can just look at it and be done with it.

"Let's go get something to eat. We can just look at this broom." I can only look at it with Cedric. I can't afford it either, but I can consider giving him a broom care kit for Christmas.

"Hmm, there's an ice cream shop up ahead, let's go grab something to eat." This time, Cedric pulled me through the crowded streets to Florin's Ice Cream Shop, where we each ordered an ice cream and ate it as we walked.

"Ayers, this is pretty good, do you want to try some?" I feel like Cedric is flirting with me without my noticing.

"Try this one, I think you'll like it." Indirect kissing and stuff like that, I'm totally open to it~ Please give me more opportunities like that~

We swapped our ice creams, and they were pretty good, quite delicious!

It seems like Badger Courtyard just loves eating all sorts of delicious food. Maybe I can use my cooking skills to win over Cedric?

Great! Very promising! Let's arrange it this way!

Next, I accompanied Cedric throughout his shopping trip.

We finally parted ways in front of the communal fireplace.

"Cedric, thank you." Actually, I knew everything. Cedric saw everything. It was more like he was helping me relax than me shopping with him today.

Perhaps my expression changed a little when I walked out of the alley where I had chatted with Stalin.

This warm little sun is so heartwarming.

“Ayers, see you at Hogwarts.” Cedric watched me disappear into the flames of the fireplace.
