Chapter 43 You choose one
"Morning." Aphra walked towards Harry, who was sitting at his desk doing homework.
"Morning." Harry moved cautiously, and Aphra sat next to him nonchalantly, staring at him with her chin propped up.
The two of them were so close that Harry could even smell the sweet scent of her hair.
Harry tilted his head slightly, leaving only the back of her head.
?
Why, so pure.
Avro pursed her lips, "Why do you dislike me?"
"No, no." Harry had no choice but to move closer. He buried his head and pretended that he was concentrating on his homework. In fact, his mind was so messed up that he couldn't write anything.
Avro suppressed her laughter, stopped teasing him, took out a book from the drawer, and stood up, "I'm going to the study."
"oh oh……"
There were many more situations like this, and Harry simply had nowhere to hide and was unable to resist.
Fortunately, they didn't live long before they went to Diagon Alley to buy supplies for school. In Diagon Alley, Harry was intercepted by Ron.
Ron looked at Aphra warily, fearing that Harry would be led astray by her.
Avro: "..."
"I was also warned by the Ministry of Magic, but there was no follow-up. It's probably not a big problem." Harry told Ron about his boasting about Aunt Maggie during the summer vacation, and Ron seemed a little excited.
Hermione looked a little disapproving.
Avro didn't care. He was an insignificant person anyway. If he messed with her, there wouldn't be any bad consequences.
"Harry, where did you live during this time..." Ron asked hesitantly, a little belatedly.
Harry looked at Aphra carefully and saw that she had no intention of hiding anything, so he smiled and said, "Yes, Avro took me in."
"Oh..." Ron hid his face, as if this was a bad situation. He didn't like anyone who had anything to do with Draco.
"Aphrodite?" Draco's voice sounded faintly from behind Aphra, and the three Harrys and Aphra looked over.
His face was cold and his eyes were full of anger.
Avro walked over subconsciously, and Draco took two steps back, looking displeased and disbelieving, as if he had been betrayed.
"Why don't you listen to what I have to say." Avro was indeed in the wrong. She should not have been friends with Harry without telling Draco. However, she has the right to make friends on her own, and she should not be controlled by who she is friends with.
"I won't listen." Draco looked at Aphra with his chin, "You must choose one between us."
"..."
Avro paused and stood there. What she disliked most in her life was making choices, and she didn't like being forced to make choices.
"She doesn't need your permission to make friends," Hermione couldn't help but say, "She's not your property."
"Shut up, you mudblood." Draco frowned.
"Eat slugs!" Ron took out his new wand - the original one was completely broken, and fired a spell at Draco.
Avro didn't think much and waved her wand, blocking Ron's spell lightly.
Harry looked at her with an incredulous look, Hermione was also stunned, and Ron looked furious.
Avro was extremely angry. She neither liked Draco's natural words nor Harry's suspicious eyes.
She really wanted to leave, why should she stand in the middle like a fool and be in a dilemma.
Avro took a few deep breaths in her heart, and then she smiled slightly, "Give me some face and don't make any noise, okay?"
"Your heart is so biased." Harry complained angrily. Hermione pulled Ron and Harry away, choosing to settle the matter.
"Why can't you only have me in your heart?" Draco asked Aphra in a desperate move.
Avro smiled and returned to her usual calm smile, "Because there are too many men around me, and you are just a younger brother."
Draco's face became visibly depressed.
Avro smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Together we will?"
"Need not."
"Then...see you at the beginning of school." Draco didn't understand why she was not interested.
Avro turned around, her smile disappeared. She felt a little irritated and shook her head. She wanted to walk around Diagon Alley, anywhere.
Diagon Alley was crowded and busy, and Aphra was taking a peaceful walk.
"oops……"
She was accidentally hit by a boy and screamed.
When she saw the person coming, Avro's mind worked hard before she pulled him out of her memory, "Ah, classmate Theodore, what a coincidence."
As her eyes rolled around, Aphra had become smiling, charming and smart.
"...If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh." The other party replied lightly, revealing her with a casual glance.
Avro's psychological defense collapsed, and she slowly retracted her smile and exhaled.
"That's good." Theodore nodded, "I remember you, you are Avro Greengrass."
"It's me." Avro blinked her big eyes and stared at him curiously.
"I just bumped into you, I'm sorry." He lowered his eyes and turned sideways to leave.
Avro didn't have time to think about it in her mind. Of course, she didn't really want to think about it today, so she followed her first thought and called out to the other party.
"Maybe we can go shopping together."
Theodore turned back with a look that didn't mean anything, but he didn't have any bad intentions, Avro could tell.
"Go to a quieter place." He lowered his head and agreed to her reckless invitation.
The two of them were walking by the river. The river reflected the setting sun, and their shadows were deformed and pulled in the rippling waves.
"Why do pigeons flock together?" Theodore pointed to the pigeons falling on the lawn in the distance with a calm expression.
Avro looked at him, "For self-defense, it may be safer to be with the team."
He didn't quite agree, but said nothing. When he was not speaking, his tall and thin appearance and cold face had an extra touch of melancholy.
He probably doesn't agree with this approach. Maybe, he prefers to be alone.
Avro speculated.
The breeze blew through her broken hair, and Aphra asked confusedly, "Then why did you agree to my invitation?"
"Maybe, I'm a little confused." He answered seriously, with a sense of cold humor.
Avro couldn't hold it back and chuckled. This was her most genuine smile today, "Are you awake now?"
Theodore shook his head, "I still have to blow for a while."
In fact, he just felt that her expression was a bit pitiful. Like himself, she often did not have a sincere smile.
Avro is very popular in school. She has always been a role model among students and a role model in the eyes of teachers.
Theodore had noticed her to some extent, watching her talking and laughing among the crowd with ease, and he would often wonder in confusion why she made herself so tired.
