HP: Becoming a Maiden Heartthrob

While Cedric was having dinner with Nallylian at the Leaky Cauldron, they were visited by an unexpected person.

Ernest MacMillan.

He ran in, and after seeing her, he stopped at the door, not even taking a breath, just staring at her blankly.

Nothing happened.

"Wait, Lillian, there's a tendon connecting it..."

Cedric, who was concentrating on cutting lamb chops for Narilean, did not see Ernest because his back was facing the door.

Nalilian was facing the door, watching Cedric helping her cut lamb chops. When she felt someone's gaze, she looked up and met Ernest's gaze, and was also startled.

Why is he here?

The blond boy leaned against the door, looking at her against the light, his golden eyes like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood, revealing a moment of vulnerability.

But in the next second, he disappeared at the door.

Nalilian was having trouble coming back to her senses.

He seems to have lost weight.

Have you been having a bad time lately?

She hasn't seen him since she broke up with him.

She was avoiding him and he was avoiding her.

And the people around her also helped her avoid him.

I originally thought that I would rarely see him, but I didn’t expect to see him before school started.

When Ernest met Narielian's gaze, he subconsciously took a step back and left the Leaky Cauldron directly.

Standing outside the door, he stared at it in a daze for a long time, until the sweat on his body turned cold, and then he looked at the letter in his hand.

This is a letter from Justin asking for his help in finding Nalilian after telling him what happened at his house.

When Ernest received the letter, he ran out to find Nalilian before he had time to reply and scold him.

Now I have to reply to that idiot, otherwise he won’t know how to find it in the Muggle world.

Ernest took out a feather pen from his wizard robe and wrote "All is well at the Leaky Cauldron" on the back of the letter. He put the letter back into the envelope and took it to Eeyore's Owl Shop to mail it.

"What's wrong, Lillian?"

As Nalilian watched Ernest run away, she heard Cedric's voice in her ears.

She came back to her senses and looked at him, then at the lamb chops he had cut for her, and replied, "I just saw a butterfly flying outside."

"Butterflies?" Cedric was startled and asked, "Does Lillian like butterflies?"

"I like it," Nalilian said, forking up a lamb chop and stuffing it into her mouth, whispering, "It's beautiful."

"Especially when you see it flying freely."

After breaking up with Ernie, she never had the courage to look at Ernie's favorability value, but when she ran away with Kersten, she went to look at Ernie's panel.

Favorability value: 95.

This was the highest favorability value she had ever seen.

But Ernie is not the main character, his heart value is only eight, and the system does not give her the option to set him as the main strategy character, nor the option to start the side story.

She broke up with him because she was afraid that he would be troubled by his family.

Because they were both so young and relied on their family for survival, she didn't want him to suffer more because she severed ties with his family.

Of course, she was also afraid of seeing the other party choose his family and give up her.

If it were now, seeing what Kerston did, perhaps she would ask for his advice and would have the courage to face his family with him.

Too bad they've broken up.

Then don't bother me anymore.

The two finished their meal quickly and took the sandwiches back to give to Keston as dinner.

"came back."

Kerston was still sitting at the corner of the desk busy looking at his laptop. He greeted her without turning around when he heard the door open.

Nalilian walked over with the sandwich and handed it to Kerston.

As she got closer, she saw that the screen of Kerston's laptop still showed a long stock market line, but this time it was not Ende Insurance, but countless other companies that she could not understand.

There are also lines of densely packed small characters on the split-screen page.

Is he speculating in stocks?

"What's wrong?" Kerston asked as he started eating a sandwich when he noticed her gaze lingering on him.

"Is there electricity here?" Nalilian looked away and asked about another thing she was concerned about.

There are no electric lights in Hogwarts, and magical items are usually used.

How does the Nexon charge my laptop?

"Sed did this," he said, eating his sandwich.

Nalilian looked at Cedric.

Cedric was sorting through her textbooks and when he heard his name mentioned, he looked up at them and blinked at her questioning look.

"Kston showed me a book called 'Introduction to Electronic Circuits' before. The materials in the book can be easily found here, so I made a mobile power supply similar to a battery," he explained.

Isn’t that just a power bank?

Hearing his words, Nalilian was stunned.

I didn't expect that Sede would figure it out now. He is simply a genius.

"Sed is amazing!" she praised sincerely.

She always knew that Seth had a talent for making things. Every Christmas gift he gave her was handmade by him. In the first grade, it was a Christmas ball, and in the second grade, it was a pillow that moved by itself.

The last time she received a birthday gift from him, it was a bunch of roses blooming in a miniature glass greenhouse. The pink petals fluttered down, which was particularly beautiful.

"This is all thanks to the large amount of trial and error funds provided by Keston," Cedric did not want to take all the credit on himself.

After all, whether magic energy can be used in circuits still needs to be tested again and again.

Without gold galleons, it's just empty talk.

"It didn't cost many Galleons. Seid's vision is very accurate."

After finishing the sandwich, Kerston looked back at the laptop and said, giving the credit back to Cedric.

"Maybe I'm just lucky," Cedric reluctantly accepted the compliment.

Why are you praising him all of a sudden? That's not like Kersten.

Nalilian looked at Kerston.

Just listening to what they say, it's like friends offering help to each other.

But when she looked at the stock market page in front of Kston and heard their words, she felt that this was more like an investment for Kston.

He invested in Sede's creative talents.

I don't know if he noticed this.

After Kston finished reading the stock market information, put away his laptop, and took out the manuscript, Cedric, who had previewed the book for Nalilian, gave her homework and started editing the book with Kston.

Nalilian was busy doing her homework. Actually, the homework assigned by Seth was not much, but after she finished the homework he assigned her, she also did her holiday homework.

Because when you are busy, you don’t have to worry about other things.

For example, what would her parents do after she and Kersten escaped from Finch-Fletchley Manor? How would they face Justin after Kersten hit Justin's father on the head?

And Mrs. Finch-Fletchley, the driving force behind this incident, will she remain invisible in the future? And does Kerston know of her existence?

Now it seems that after doing this, it was really a mess.

But she didn't regret running away with Kersten at all.

Because she didn't dare to imagine what kind of treatment and cold stare he would receive if Kerston, who had hit Mr. Finch on the head, was allowed to stay in Finch-Fletchley Manor.

If she rejected him and let him leave on his own, he would run to some deserted corner to lick his wounds, and how would she be able to find him?

After doing something that made him run away once, she would never want to touch it again.

And she also saw clearly into her own heart.

Kersten, the brother who has always been by her side, whether at home or at Hogwarts.

To her, it was above Mrs. Ender and Mr. Ender.
