Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong
Chapter 43 A Young Girl's Thoughts, Constantly on Her Mind
In that sunlit attic with its large windows, a little girl with brown hair and beautiful eyes was diligently tidying up the room.
Actually, there weren't many things in the room, because its owner didn't stay there for very long. She didn't even stay until the weather turned cold before leaving for a place she couldn't find on the map.
Therefore, the clothes here are only spring and summer clothes, not many, just a few pieces.
However, she still carefully folded the few clothes that had been sun-dried and put them into the not-so-big wardrobe.
Then, she arranged some things in the room according to her own ideas, such as the location of the coat rack, where the vase would look best, and how the books, stationery, and cups used by the room's owner should be placed on the table.
Of course, the floor still needs to be cleaned, because even if no one lives here, dust will still keep falling.
After finishing, she clapped her hands, looked around, and smiled with satisfaction.
Her gaze swept around and finally landed on a standing photo frame on the desk.
—The frame contains a magical, moving photograph. It shows a boy in a red-lined robe riding a broomstick through the sky. At one point, he turns around and smiles at her.
Looking at the boy who was "looking" at her, the little girl pursed her lips and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"Are you doing well..." she silently repeated to herself the words she had written countless times in her letters.
Then, her gaze slid across the photo album, looking out the window, gazing into the distance…
Yeah, I miss him a little.
This kind of longing is not as intense as when he first left. I won't secretly hide in my room and cry because he's suddenly not around, and I won't pretend to be indifferent to his departure in front of my parents.
This kind of longing is like eating, sleeping, or breathing—very ordinary, yet you can't help but do it subconsciously, as if it has become a habit when your mind is idle.
Then, imagine what he is doing right now, what he is thinking, and whether he sometimes thinks of the little girl he used to study, eat, and play with, just like you do.
Of course, most of the time, I simply imagine his features, his smile, and his voice.
It's strange, but some people who have known each other for a long time are like strangers, or even like enemies. For example, those girls who used to laugh at her, tease her, and are now somewhat afraid of her.
Some people, however, have only known her for a very short time, yet they have fiercely entered her world, come to her side, and then tell her to be a strong and courageous person, and to be a happy person.
She missed him, not because of his good looks or his intelligence, but because he made her a better version of herself.
At least now, she won't wallow in self-pity because of some people's foolish mockery, nor will she argue heatedly with their malicious slander. He told her that people don't live by other people's opinions, and that arguing with fools will only make her a fool herself.
"Haha, you're so eloquent, you must leave a lot of people speechless at school," the little girl said, poking the moving photo with her finger.
The little man inside immediately swerved to the side on his broom to avoid being poked down from the sky.
"Giggle!"
The little girl laughed as she looked at the tiny figure.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bullied you. You can stay here peacefully, and I'll wipe the dust off for you from time to time," the little girl said to the boy in the photo.
The boy rolled his eyes and continued flying in the sky in the photo on his broom.
"Hermione, have you finished tidying up Qin's room? We should get going!" Her mother's voice rang out from downstairs.
"Okay, Mom, I'm done with my work, I'll be right down!" the little girl replied quickly.
This little girl is, of course, Hermione Jane Granger, the Granger family's daughter.
Halloween is just around the corner, and the Granger family is getting quite lively with the holiday approaching.
While doing a thorough cleaning at home, Hermione took out Qin Yu's clothes again to air them out, and then tidied up his room once more.
The next activity was to go to the supermarket with Mom and Dad to buy some Halloween decorations and cooking ingredients for dinner, and of course, the most important thing was pumpkin.
After coming downstairs, Hermione changed her shoes, put on a thick coat, and went out with her parents. They rode in Mr. Granger's car to the largest shopping mall closest to their community.
This shopping mall has a wide variety of goods and has always been the most popular commercial place in the area. Now that Halloween is approaching, there are even more people. Many people, like the Granger family, come to buy Halloween items.
The Granger family walked through the somewhat bustling crowd.
Looking at the smiling faces of adults and children around her, Mrs. Granger couldn't help but sigh and say, "Oh, if Qin were here, we could celebrate Halloween together."
She missed that little boy; what a lovely and kind child he was.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Granger immediately pressed down on his wife's hand and gave her a reproachful look, signaling her to be careful with her words.
Mrs. Granger immediately understood her husband's meaning and looked at her daughter beside her with some trepidation.
However, instead of looking sad as I had expected, my daughter smiled and said, "It's okay, Qin said he'll be back for Christmas, and we can spend Christmas together then!"
“Yes, let’s spend Christmas together!” Mrs. Granger smiled upon hearing this.
Then, she subconsciously looked at her husband, and Mr. Granger happened to be looking at her at the same time. Their eyes met, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Yes, their daughter seems to have grown up. She's no longer as fragile and sensitive as before; she's become much stronger and more confident.
The same thought popped into their minds simultaneously.
Next, the family of three entered the supermarket in the mall and put the items they wanted to buy into the shopping cart one by one according to the item list.
These items include apples, toffee, lamb chops, beef, potatoes, carrots, and many more.
Then, when they arrived at the shelf where the pumpkins were, Hermione carefully selected two pumpkins of similar size, saying that she would make jack-o'-lanterns by hand when she got back, and named one of them "Qin Lantern". Well, the other one was naturally "Hermione Lantern".
This elicited a smile from the Grangers.
……
After browsing the supermarket and buying their groceries, the Granger family drove back home.
It was already late, and the streetlights on both sides of the street were already on, as were the Halloween-themed decorations in front of the shops. Some of the pedestrians on the street had already put on strange Halloween costumes.
The festive atmosphere is getting stronger.
When they drove home, they were surprised to see Trigger the owl perched on the lamppost by their door.
Upon seeing this, Hermione immediately opened the car door and quickly ran out.
She quickly called Trig home and took a letter from him.
Then, as usual, she went back to her room to check the letters.
Entering the room and sitting in the chair at the desk, Hermione couldn't resist bringing the envelope to her nose and taking a deep sniff before opening it.
As the distinctive scent of the brown paper wafted from the envelope, Hermione found herself suddenly overwhelmed with something.
What she had initially thought was a quiet longing suddenly spread and became intense and passionate.
——Dimensional wall——
