HP: Becoming a Maiden Heartthrob

"You didn't even tell me when you released the news."

When she went to the principal's office to pick up Kersten in the evening, Nalilian couldn't help but say.

"It's you who didn't pay attention to the Quidditch World Cup," said Kersten.

"The Irish team won today, and all of their players bought rocket crossbows. That Mr. Harder decided to publish the report today, even expediting it."

"So this Irish team is the one you chose as a sucker?" Nalilian couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," Kersten replied, "They're willing to try new things and spend money."

"You're really willing to spend money, right?" Nalilian joked.

“Trying new things is part of what we like about them,” Kersten said.

As they talked, they walked towards the Hufflepuff common room. During the time, many people greeted and congratulated Kerston. Kerston responded and thanked them one by one, which was very different from his usual cold and arrogant attitude.

"You've changed, Kersten," Narilian couldn't help but tease him again, "Does this count as bowing down for money?"

Kersten said, "When you are famous, you are always surrounded by gossip. I don't want to be in the spotlight."

"And most of the Gryffindors who greeted us are your friends."

After greeting him, the younger Gryffindor wizards looked at her eagerly.

Nallylian felt embarrassed when he mentioned this matter, because this was mainly the great achievement of Ginny and her roommates.

They seemed to have formed some kind of support group. Even when they played tricks on Parkinson last time, they and the new wizards played the main role.

Every time Ginny dragged Nalilian to help them with their lessons, she never expected that the four little girls who looked so well-behaved were actually so powerful in combat.

The two arrived at the Hufflepuff common room while chatting.

Nalilian paused at the entrance and pulled two small boxes from her wizard robes and handed them to him. "By the way, Kersten, these are gifts for the new book release."

She had already picked it out for them and Harry.

As for Harry's, she had given him shaving cleanser before picking up Keston.

Harry turned fourteen and started growing a beard, Nallylian remembered, because Kersten had grown a beard the year before.

Although there are spells for shaving in the magical world, the shaved beard also needs to be cleaned, so there are shaving cleansers.

"What is this?" Kerston asked, holding the gift box.

"Here's a tie for you," said Nalilian.

Although Mrs. Ender would buy Kersten new ties, she liked to pair him with dark red and silver-blue ties.

Coxton didn't care about the color and wore whatever he wanted, but Narilean thought he should fit in with the Hufflepuffs, so she bought him a black and yellow tie.

"What about this?" Kerston asked, holding another box.

This box is light and airy.

"This is for Sede," said Nalilian.

This was an agreement she had made with Thad when they were editing a book at the Leaky Cauldron. When the book was published, she would give him a Quidditch pendant that she had personally woven.

Nalilian didn't want to go back on her word, after all, the gifts Seid gave her were all made by him.

But she couldn't give it to Seth now.

This is too ambiguous.

"Why not just forget it," Nalilian thought of this, hesitated again, and reached out to take the gift back.

Kersten put the gift box into his pocket before her and asked, "If not this one, then who else?"

Seeing him like this, Nalilian knew that she would never come back.

She sighed and instructed, "Then if Ced asks, just say you bought it ready-made at the Quidditch shop."

"Yeah," Kersten replied, watching Nalilian leave.

It was not until he saw her leaving with the arm of a passing Gryffindor girl that he entered the Hufflepuff common room and saw Cedric surrounded by people.

Compared to Keston, Cedric gained more fame because of publishing the book. After all, he already had the halo of the titles of prefect and Quidditch captain.

"Good boy, you published a book without telling anyone?"

"You wrote a book and kept it secret, and you even published it in limited quantities. Why don't you show it to us?"

Cedric was being tormented by the crowd holding onto his shoulders, and he smiled helplessly, but the next second, his smile froze slightly.

"Didn't Ced confess his love to that beautiful Ravenclaw girl, Qiu Zhang? Wouldn't Ced have both fame and beauty?"

"Really? How long do you plan to confess, Ced?"

Cedric couldn't answer that question, nor did he want to.

Fortunately, he saw Kerston at this time and said, "Kerston is here. He is responsible for the promotion of this book. It would be best if you ask him. I dare not leak the secret without his consent."

So the Hufflepuffs surrounding Cedric quickly surrounded Keston and asked him.

Most of them were members of the Quidditch team who had worked with Kirkston and were not very polite to him.

Kersten patiently answered their questions.

For example, when asked when the book was written, Kerston replied: I had the idea since the school year before last.

For example, could you reveal some of the contents of the book? Everyone wanted to get it for free. Kston replied: Seth will be integrated into the training, which was cheered.

For example, there must be a party for the release of a new book. Kerston replied: Let’s hold it tomorrow, this Friday night.

After they had asked their questions, they gathered together to chatter about Quidditch, which was no different from the girls discussing hairdressing and dressing.

Kerston was able to leave the circle and go to the periphery to find Cedric.

"Gift," he took out the gift box given by Nalilian.

"Lillian gave it to me?" Cedric asked.

The gifts that Kerston gave him usually arrived in the same condition as they were from the factory, at most in a plastic bag. Only the gifts that Lillian gave him were carefully packaged.

Cedric opened the gift box and saw the Quidditch pendant lying inside, and his heart softened.

She did not forget her promise to him.

“Lillian said it was store-bought ready-made,” Kerston said.

"But the truth is obviously not what you said, Kersten," Cedric touched the pendant and denied it directly.

This is what she did.

It was wearing a small, crudely made pendant, the same kind of wire lion cufflinks that Kerston had once admired and showed off.

He saw the corners that couldn't be hidden and revealed the crude texture, and smiled helplessly.

"So, Ced," Kersten asked at this point, killing the mood, "when are you going to confess?"

Cedric paused, the surprise of receiving the gift being overwhelmed by the repression.

He silently placed the gift box into his wizard robe.

"At this celebration," he said, rubbing his fingers over the surface of the gift box.

"should."
