Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 310 Provocation

Just as dawn was breaking, Gella knocked on Thea's door.

After a while, Thea opened the door from the inside, still sleepy-eyed.

"Today is Theodore's birthday, and it's a bit unreasonable for you not to attend."

The two are still engaged, and they've been acting like they're deeply in love these past few days.

Gella spoke softly, as if afraid of startling the person in front of her.

"Oh……"

Thea thought for a moment and vaguely recalled the incident from the depths of her memory.

"Wait for me for an hour,"

Thea thought for a moment and added, "Even if Theodore comes, you're not allowed to rush me."

As she listened, the smile in Gella's eyes grew wider.

She gazed at the much fuller-figured girl before her, her heart brimming with pride.

All her shamelessness these past few days has paid off; she's finally managed to fatten him up!

When she looked better, even her voice became softer and gentler, unlike before when it was as cold as the wind outside the door.

"Okay, I'll go down now."

Gella had only come up to give a reminder, and since she was also going, she naturally needed to go back to her room to get ready.

"Click".

The door was locked.

Thea was no longer sleepy and sat lazily in front of her dressing table, carefully considering how to handle the day's events.

Call her an overreacter or overly cautious.

Anyway, she didn't want to gamble on those people's eyes being blinded by self-interest.

With the last pearl earring in place, Thea's makeup was complete for the day.

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside the window?

Thea was puzzled, but when she went outside to take a look, her doubts were resolved.

A perfectly neat row of... cars and male models? Right in front of me.

"...Draco's new product?"

"And you're all back?"

Unlike their innocent naivety during their previous meeting, they now reek of gunpowder.

They had witnessed death, but fortunately, they grew from it.

"Good morning, Miss Blake."

Just like countless times when we met her at school, everyone naturally greeted her.

"You too."

She couldn't quite describe her feelings, but Thea felt that all the previous arrangements hadn't been in vain.

At least, they are all here.

No, it seems like a few are missing.

Seeing Thea's worry, Theodore added, "Draco and the others wrote to say that something came up and they can't come."

"Is this car team his creation?"

"Yes, I heard he figured it out while he was in school, and this is a good opportunity to test it out."

Theodore stepped forward naturally, his familiar tone causing the others to exchange glances.

What's even more surprising is that as soon as Theodore finished speaking, his coat was draped over Thea's shoulders.

Meeting Thea's questioning gaze, Theodore smiled and said, "The black coat suits you perfectly."

He made no mention of how much he had tutored women on clothing coordination behind the scenes, but when Thea leaned in to ask, he casually remarked, "It suits your outfit quite well today."

Even if Theodore didn't say anything, how could Thea not know the effort he had put in behind the scenes? It was just an extra piece of clothing. Since he wanted her to wear it, why shouldn't she?

Compared to what she's going to do next, let him be.

Even after getting on the bus, Thea was still thinking about this.

Unlike Muggles who use gasoline as fuel, Draco, no matter how imaginative, would never use this method.

Thea watched for a while and vaguely recognized that the working principle of this thing was similar to that of the Knight Bus, except that it did not have the invisibility function and was more luxurious in appearance.

The car drove smoothly all the way and soon arrived at its destination.

What puzzled Thea was that the group of boys did not go in together.

They waved their hands shyly, seemingly feeling that their reason was not very respectable, "We only got half a day off, and now we have to go back."

The boys didn't mention that they had worked day and night to meet the deadline, and had driven hundreds of miles to get here, only to end up spending a few tens of minutes together.

But it's worth it.

They saw Thea in her rare finery and with her full figure.

Thea also saw that they were completely unharmed.

Even before entering the hall, the unique smell of money wafted over you.

Amidst the fragrance of clothes and the sway of hair, a delicate and melodious laugh rang out.

Everything came to an abrupt end when Thea and her two companions stepped inside.

Suddenly, a voice announced, "Miss Black has arrived."

After a faint buzzing sound, the world returned to calm.

Fortunately, Thea and her two companions were already used to the silence when they appeared, and they broke the silence with just the right smiles and greetings.

"Uncle XX, it's been a long time."

"XXX, it's been a long time since we last met since you went to Durmstrang!"

Thea raised an eyebrow as she watched Theodore flit among the crowd like a butterfly, responding perfectly to everyone's words.

She hadn't realized that Theodore actually had a talent for socializing.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the proceedings proceeded as usual for a birthday party, and Theodore was forced to take the stage and deliver a long, high-sounding speech.

His tone was so serious that Gella, standing next to Thea, almost couldn't stand up straight from laughing.

It would be even more appropriate to add a "forced to work" emoji at this moment.

After the speeches, it was time for everyone to chat, trade, and exchange information.

Thea knew very well that her position made it inappropriate for her to force her way in, so she simply sat at the table and obediently played the role of a decoration.

Although, this decoration... is a bit edible.

Looking at the coconut ice cream that was about a third less, Thea began to wonder if she had become addicted to being fed by Gella.

What is this occasion?

Is it an occasion where you can open your stomach completely?

Just as Thea was inwardly condemning herself, a very, very untimely voice rang in her ears.

"Isn't this Miss Blake?"

Thea didn't want to pay attention to the fool, but then the fool said in an affected tone, "Oh, I was mistaken. In a few months, I should be calling you... Mrs. Nott."

I just went to the restroom and came out to see someone doing something reckless: "..."

Let her think about it, the last person who dared to provoke Thea like this... their ashes must have been scattered to the winds...
