People in Hogwarts, holding scripts and systems

Dumbledore reentered the room. "We have been disturbing you for a long time. It seems that the bet has been settled."

Slughorn was startled and looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

"gambling?"

Dumbledore made a farewell gesture and said to him regretfully, "Hogwarts would be very happy if you could go back, but unfortunately..."

Slughorn looked a little anxious, rubbing two fingers together as he watched Avro and Dumbledore put on their cloaks.

"Wait a moment!"

Dumbledore stopped and turned around in confusion.

"I promise you!" Slughorn shouted impatiently at them from the doorway of the living room. "I must be crazy! But Albus, I want a raise!"

Dumbledore chuckled, "Great, see you on September 1st!"

Walking along the path in the garden, Dumbledore smiled and hummed a little tune.

"Good job, Aphrodite."

Afro scratched his head and laughed shyly. "I just told him that he would gain some benefits by returning to Hogwarts."

"Horace likes material enjoyment and likes to make friends with powerful and famous people. He likes to select some students and form clubs even more." Dumbledore walked to the church they had passed before and stopped.

"It sounds like he has a lot in common with someone." A handsome young man, Voldemort before he went bald, emerged in Afro's mind.

"Tom was indeed his most proud pupil, but they are different, Avro." Dumbledore grasped her arm and they Apparated back to the Burrow.

"Although Horace likes the feeling of being at his mercy, he doesn't like being in charge."

The night air is filled with a faint scent of flowers mixed with the fragrance of earth.

They walked to the barn some distance from the Burrow, and Dumbledore lit his wand, illuminating the small room.

"Horace is smart and knows how to protect himself, so it's not easy to get the hidden story out of him."

Dumbledore looked at Avro directly, without hiding his purpose at all.

"Is it between him and Voldemort?"

"Yes, I hope you can help me find her."

Moonlight shone through the glassless window, shining silver on the tip of Dumbledore's hat. Aphrodite could clearly see a spider crawling up his hat.

Before they parted, Dumbledore said with a sullen face, "Gayle added some spells to Malfoy Manor. This is a secret."

He blinked, smiled and continued, "I know you took them somewhere else, but in order to prevent any accidents, Gale is willing to offer the basement of Nurmengard."

Afro touched Xiaoba with amusement and said, "Let him stay in prison."

"I'll let him know." Dumbledore pushed open the barn door and walked out into the moonlit yard. "Snape will be the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. We'll tell him when school starts."

Avro knocked three times on the door of the Burrow. Even though it was very late, Molly immediately turned on the light in the hallway.

"Are you hungry, Afro?" Molly closed the door, pulled her to the kitchen, and took out the steaming caramel pudding from the oven.

"Want some milk, honey?"

"No, thank you Aunt Molly." Afro smiled sweetly at her and scooped a big mouthful of pudding with a spoon and put it into her mouth.

Molly looked at Afro, who was puffing up his cheeks and eating attentively, and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"I'll be staying at Aunt Molly's for a few days." After having supper, Afro took the initiative to help Molly clean up the kitchen. "My parents have been ordered by the royal family to go to Buckingham Palace."

Voldemort and the Death Eaters caused panic in the Muggle world, although they only told the public that the vicious fugitives had escaped.

But the royal family received more accurate information, so wizards with noble status were given the responsibility of protecting the king.

"Oh, my Merlin!" Molly stood up with obvious joy and clapped her hands happily. "My dear, you can stay as long as you want!"

"Ginny, she was asking me a few days ago why didn't you come over to play with her?"

Aphrodite smiled apologetically, "Snape and I have some things to do."

"Dumbledore is always like this. How could he assign you some tasks when you are not yet an adult?"

Molly said this, but she knew in her heart that Afro was much better and could at least protect herself.

"Your luggage has been put in Ginny's room, go to bed, dear."

As Afro reached the second floor, an arm reached out from the dark corner and hooked her waist.

"Little Afu~"

Percy looked straight into her eyes, and put his other hand on her shoulder, and with a slight hook the girl fell into his arms.

"Shh, Aunt Molly is still downstairs." Afro quietly pointed to the lighted living room, where they could still hear the sound of the door opening.

It seemed that Mr. Weasley had returned as well.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time." Percy buried his head in the girl's face and rubbed it, touching her eyelashes with the corner of his mouth unsatisfiedly.

Their location was not really safe, Afro pushed the boy guiltily. Percy took the opportunity to take his long-missed girlfriend into his room.

Once they entered the room, Percy held Avro against the door, clasped his hands around her waist.

A barrage of light kisses followed, leaving a tingling sensation on her skin. It was a long time before Percy let go of the breathless girl.

Their foreheads touched, and Afro saw her own blushing cheeks and lips swollen from the kiss in the eyes that were so close to her.

"I'm going back, Percy."

Percy tightened his arms around her, clinging to Aphrodite's body stickily.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and you don't write to me often."

A tone of grievance and a mild condemnation.

Afro was confused by the look as always, she raised her hand to stroke her messy hair, trying to comfort her ignored boyfriend.

"I was wrong, is this okay?"

She stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss Percy on the cheek.

"not enough……"

Percy's deep eyes were filled with darkness, and they covered him again.

Afro only remembered that in the end, her legs went weak and she was carried back by Percy.

Ginny pulled open the curtains and pulled up the girl who was lying on the bed, "Today is the day the report cards are handed out!"

Afro rubbed her face sleepily on the pillow twice. Her wide collar revealed her round shoulders, and her snow-white skin was covered with small plum blossoms.

"I'm really sleepy!" Afro fell back onto the pillow.

"You went out with Dumbledore?" Ginny sat on the edge of the bed and helped her pull up her collar.

"I visited an old professor..."

"how is he?"

"Well, it looks like..."

Before Afro could finish his words, the bedroom door was forcefully opened.
