Chapter 30: Kiss

Professor McGonagall didn't expect Arthur to be so good at talking.

She was stunned for a moment. But seeing Hermione in Arthur's arms, the wise professor guessed some things.

However, Professor McGonagall didn't mention it. After all, there were still young wizards from her own house, especially Hermione, whom she admired.

"Both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw lose ten points for not following the professor's instructions to return to the dormitory. However, as first-year students, you won twenty points for Ravenclaw by defeating the troll monster. I have to say, Mr. Gaunt, the sword you transformed is really sharp. I believe it will remain like this for some time."

As a master of transfiguration, Professor McGonagall immediately saw that the sword was transformed. After giving a scold, she also couldn't help but praise Arthur's magic.

As for Hermione, the deducted ten points will serve as a warning for today, and I hope that future young witches can be more careful.

"Hermione! Hermione, are you okay!" At this moment, Harry and Ron also ran over, panting and arriving in front of everyone.

The two of them looked nervously at Hermione.

Hermione didn't answer, just looked up at the two of them.

Professor McGonagall understood what had happened here and let everyone go. The bathroom was seriously damaged, and the hallway was a mess. The professors had to use spells to restore everything to its original condition.

Hermione also stood up from Arthur's hug, her eyes red from crying.

However, when Arthur passes by Professor Snape, he suddenly calls him back.

"After the potion class next Wednesday, come to my office," Snape said, and without waiting for Arthur's reply, he went to deal with the troll's corpse.

Arthur was puzzled, but he didn't ask right away. He just agreed and continued walking forward.

On the way, the four of them remained silent and didn't speak.

"Sorry, Hermione," Ron suddenly spoke up halfway through their route.

The other three stopped in their tracks and looked at Ron.

Ron felt uncomfortable under their gaze, but he continued, "I was stupid in the Charms class today. I shouldn't have said those things to you. Please forgive me!"

After saying this, Ron also looked at Hermione.

Hermione pursed her lips and didn't speak. Harry, next to her wanted to speak up for Ron but didn't know how to defend him.

Arthur admired Ron's courage to admit his mistake despite his recklessness, hot-headedness, and sometimes weird jealousy.

After all, he and Harry had rushed over to save Hermione earlier.

Being willing to admit one's mistakes is hard. Moreover, just now, Ron and Harry rushed over in a hurry to save Hermione.

"You're right, Ron, I am indeed Miss Know-It-All."

"That's the best compliment you should give me, but next time you make a mistake, I'll still point it out," she continued before grabbing Arthur's hand and leading the way.

Harry and Ron remained in confusion as they watched Hermione walk away, wondering if she had forgiven Ron or not.

Harry and Ron were left standing there, looking at each other in confusion.

"So, does that mean she forgave me?" Ron scratched his head, not understanding what Hermione meant.

"Maybe?" Harry was also puzzled, but seeing Hermione's lighter steps, he slowly spoke up.

Outside the Gryffindor common room, Arthur escorted Hermione and was about to leave when the young witch held him back.

"Um...thank you for today. Not only did you save me, but you also lied for me in front of Professor McGonagall," Hermione said, her voice stuttering.

Arthur smiled faintly. "It's no problem. I just happened to smell something strange and went to take a look. It was just a coincidence."

Arthur didn't want to reveal that he had watched the movie and knew the plot. He had to come up with a random excuse to brush it off.

As Hermione looked at Arthur's handsome face with a gentle smile and her heart started to race. Finally, Hermione lightly hugged Arthur's waist, lifted herself up, and gently kissed his face.

Then she said, "Don't think too much. I just want to thank you for saving me again this time, plus the last flying class, you have saved me twice now."

After she finished speaking, Arthur didn't react much, but Hermione herself was a little embarrassed.

Harry and Ron, who were slowing behind, arrived at the entrance of the common room and just happened to see Hermione kissing Arthur.

The two of them couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.

Especially Ron, he felt a sudden weight on his head, as if something had been placed on it. And he felt empty inside as if something had left him.

Arthur didn't expect the young witch to be so bold, but after hearing her words, he didn't say much.

He nodded to show he understood, and then he walked toward the stairs and waved goodbye to Harry and Ron.
