Chapter 21 Misunderstanding
Chapter 21 Misunderstanding
After Newt found out that Peter was a girl, he always wanted to avoid her, but because they were in class together every day, he would inevitably notice her, hiding her identity as a girl and hiding among a pair of boys.
Newt discovered that although the four of them had a good relationship, Peter always seemed to be the friend at the "bottom", always helping James and Sirius get books, reserve seats, do homework, etc.
She never refused or complained, and always accepted their requests with a smile, but turned her head and rolled her eyes when they couldn't see her, which was really funny.
Although she would help James and Sirius with their homework, Newt had seen her handwriting for them. How could he describe it? It was similar to what he had written when he was four or five years old, or even younger? It was understandable that she would not receive much praise from the professor.
She was even criticized in class, but when James and Sirius went to settle the score with her, she would pretend to be pitiful and say that she really could only write like that, and said that she would write better in the future.
After James Potter and Sirius believed her, she simply lost their homework next time, and the task of helping them with their homework fell on Lupin.
During Quidditch training, Peter always seemed to find a suitable place to hide and refuse to participate in their "special training". When their training was about to end, Peter would appear with witnesses or professors, leaving them helpless against her.
Looking at Peter's uncontrollable smirk, Newt felt that she was more like a cute little hamster. Newt also stood in the shadow of the Quidditch field, looking at Peter who was being pinned down by Sirius and having his hair stroked wildly in the distance, then looked at his own hands, wondering what it felt like to touch her hair.
“Will it be like touching a salamander?” Newt muttered to himself, startling Leta, who had snuck in to watch the school Quidditch team practice.
It has been a long time since Rita and Newt did their homework together. They used to do it together, just each other, but now Newt has four inexplicable good friends. At first, she deliberately ignored Newt, but after she found out that Newt, the straight man, didn't notice that she was angry and didn't look for him, he didn't notice it at all? !
Rita understood that doing so would only make herself furious and impotent, and would make it even harder for Newt to see the true "faces" of those people, so she once again approached Newt, wanting to have a good talk with him. As a result, she saw Newt staring at Peter with a longing expression and saying these words.
"Newt, you like that boy?!" Leta opened her eyes wide in horror. She had always thought that she was different to Newt, but what if the person Newt liked was a boy? ! Then she...
"What? Like...oh no...no..." Newt was suddenly shocked by what Rita said. He had not thought about it that way, but because he recalled the misunderstanding, he could not help but feel shy and be misunderstood by Rita.
Rita ran away, and he chased after her to explain. He was very distressed about how to explain that he didn't like men, and he couldn't say that Peter was a girl, but he liked Peter? He never considered that Peter was his friend...
Newt was confused as to why Leta ran away in anger, and he wanted to find out.
And what about Alaia? Once again, Sirius grabbed her neck and "ravaged" her hair because of her "escape" "Peter, what's your excuse this time?!"
"I really... have something to do! Professor Dumbledore called me..." Alayya breathed painfully, feeling the boy's vigorous energy. The youthful hormones that came to her face made her a little hot. Don't lean on her in such a hot day!
"Then why didn't he call us?!" James also chased down from the sky with a broom in his hand. He was very excited when he heard the name Dumbledore. He wanted to help Dumbledore become the number one in research!
"Sirius, I think Peter may be out of breath..." Lupin also followed and kindly reminded Sirius to show mercy, and Sirius let go of his hand.
"That's right, tell the truth!" Sirius liked hanging on Peter more and more. His body was always soft like cotton, smelled good, and the height was just right for his height. Hanging lazily on Peter, it was very labor-saving for him to walk.
"Then you should go ask him, I forgot!" Alaia pushed the soft flesh on Sirius' waist and quickly hid behind Lupin. With Lupin protecting her, she was not afraid of Sirius' confrontation. Anyway, she did go to Dumbledore.
It was just that she took the initiative to "chat" with Dumbledore, and curiously asked about his "ex-boyfriend". Alaia wanted to hear some gossip, but unfortunately Dumbledore was too tight-lipped, and there were too many people who came to him to ask questions, so she had no chance at all.
But she did get some big news. "By the way, do you know? Hogwarts is going to hold a ball!"
"Dance?!" As expected, everyone's attention was drawn to this topic, and they all asked her to explain it in detail.
"It's the Halloween party!" Aleyya heard the portraits discussing it in the office. The ghosts there were already eager to try it out and were looking forward to the excitement of this year's Halloween party.
The students had not received the official notice yet, probably because they didn't want them to be distracted while reviewing for the exam. And the reason why Rita took the initiative to invite Newt was because she also heard about the dance through gossip and wanted to ask Newt to be her dance partner.
Leta is not a shy girl waiting for Newt to invite her, she will take the initiative. But the situation now is that Leta is angry with Newt, and she turned around and invited another Hufflepuff to be her dance partner.
Although she usually wouldn't pay attention to that Hufflepuff, she just wanted to piss off Newt. She also has other friends! Friends of the opposite sex!
James, who heard the news, scratched his head in annoyance, "Do I have to participate? I don't want to dance with other women except Evans..." After saying that, he realized that what he said seemed to be too ambiguous, so he added, "I mean, it's a pity not to see the angry look of Snotlout."
"Huh? I don't want to attend this kind of dance..." Sirius put his arms behind his head leisurely, as if it had nothing to do with him. Here he didn't have to be forced by that woman to attend that kind of boring dance, and he didn't like dancing! Why bother?
"Maybe we don't have to attend?" Lupin didn't want to take part in such an event either. Besides the difficulty in finding a dance partner, he didn't have any costumes to wear to the ball and didn't want to add to his worries and cause trouble for Dumbledore.
"That's a pity. Dumbledore seems to be looking forward to seeing how you dress up at the ball." How could Alayya miss the opportunity to grow? She deliberately lured them to the ball, and some of them actually fell for it.
"Really? Then I can't let Dumbledore down!" James was instantly ignited...
Alayya was waiting with a smile on her face, wanting to see how they would design their outfits and invite the girl to fulfill what Dumbledore expected, but she didn't expect that she would end up getting herself involved.
