He seemed to be busy with something in the past few days, and he hadn't gone to the library with him for four or five days, even if he had a meal, he left after eating in a hurry.

Not only that.

He was also very close to the Ravenclaw prefects, and there were even rumors that they were in a relationship.

Dad obviously has nothing to worry about.

We are just friends.

Lingo is so good, how could he like a little girl with messy hair who likes to be aggressive... Yes, I am too young to fall in love.

Hermione comforted herself.

But for no reason, there was a slight bitterness in my heart.

She quickened her pace, wanting to rush to the auditorium, hoping to see Ringo there, her best friend, he must know that it is her birthday today...

She walked into the auditorium.

just went in...

There was a burst of cheers:

"Happy birthday!"

"So it's your birthday today! Haha, hurry up and take out the cake, I want to eat cake! Chocolate cake is best!"

"No wonder you got up so early today."

"What are you still doing? Hurry up, happy birthday..."

"..." For a moment, Hermione was stunned. Great joy flowed from the heart to the whole body along the blood vessels. Her small mouth trembled slightly, showing the excitement in her heart, and then opened subconsciously, wanting to express her gratitude.

But the words remained unspoken.

I found out that I made a mistake:

"Joseph, congratulations on turning 13! Here, here is my present for you!"

"this is mine!"

"I also prepared it for you, Bibi multi-flavored beans, don't dislike it."

"I made a small prop with my own hands..."

A boy with yellow hair was pulled into the crowd. Many senior students were celebrating his birthday. The birthday wishes just now were obviously for him.

"It's not me..." Hermione closed her mouth.

Scratching his head pretending not to care, he walked through the crowd to the place where he usually sat, and then searched around - Ringo didn't come.

It was only a quarter of an hour before dinner time.

She could only sit in embarrassment at the empty table, watching a group of people next door celebrating their birthday, singing birthday songs, giving gifts, and dividing the birthday cake...

"Is Granger right? Those who meet have a share. Here, let's have a piece." The boy named Joseph gave a piece of cake to everyone present, "It's my birthday today, I hope you are happy too."

Hermione stood up restrainedly and took the cake.

Smiling awkwardly: "Happy birthday to you... Sorry, I don't have any presents."

"It's okay..." Joseph left with a wave of his hand, "When it's your birthday, I'll give you a piece of cake as well. It's a good deal."

"Thank you..." Hermione sat down again.

Staring at the cake with lonely eyes.

She wanted to tell Joseph that today was also her birthday.But she couldn't say it, she just thought bitterly and amusedly that Joseph might not be able to eat her birthday cake.

Will Ringo make fun of me if he finds out?

Jokes are okay too.

Because he must be empathetic compared to that.

Ringo... why aren't you here yet?

Facing the cake, Hermione waited for the arrival of her good friends, until the dinner in the auditorium, until the arrival of Percy and other seniors, and then for Harry and Ron. The three of them avoided looking at each other.After all, I just got upset because of being reported on a night tour.

—but did not wait for Ringo.

"He might have stayed up late," Hermione reassured herself.

She sorted herself out.

Go to the library to study.

By the way, I was looking forward to lunch... Then at noon, Ringo still didn't show up, even including the whole afternoon, no one saw him.

"so……"

"There's no doubt that Ringo was busy, and..."

"He doesn't know..."

When it was dinner time, Hermione lost even the last gleam of anticipation.

She sits on the seat.

Looking at the empty Ringo's place.

Her face was slightly pale, but she hid it well, her fluffy hair covered most of her cheeks, and she kept lowering her head and pulling a lamb chop...

"Hermione, what's wrong with you?" Neville, who was stuttering, suddenly asked, "You, are you in a bad mood?"

Has it been discovered yet?

Hermione was taken aback.

Asked by Neville, she seemed to notice that the corners of her eyes were moist, so she didn't dare to raise her head, but pretended to be normal and said, "No, I just don't have an appetite."

"No appetite?"

"Um……"

"Why no appetite? Is it because no one gave you a birthday?"

Hermione gave a sharp pause.

She thought she heard it wrong, birthday?Does anyone know their birthday today?And why did Neville's voice suddenly become...

hallucinations?

She looked up blankly.

next moment……

I saw the familiar smiling face of Ringo and the pumpkin cart music box in his hand: "You don't think I forgot your birthday, do you?"

"Here, this is a gift."

"Don't cry... happy birthday, Hermione."

"054" friend

Hermione stared blankly at the dining table, bitter and joyful in her heart.Although she was comforted not to cry, she almost shed tears.

"Ringo..." She choked up, "Where did you go today?"

After speaking.

Realizing that something was wrong, she quickly wiped her eyes again, and took the pumpkin cart: "Uh, no, I mean, thank you for the gift, Ringo."

"Ah! Hermione, is today your birthday?" Neville suddenly belatedly said, he rummaged through his body, but unfortunately found nothing, he said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I don't have any presents... ..."

These words sound familiar.

Hermione regained her strength, she smiled at Neville: "It's nothing, Neville, I didn't notify you in advance."

Their voices were so low that the people around them didn't seem to hear them. Harry and Ron were talking about wizard chess. Seamus passed Dean Thomas to discuss magic with sister Patil. Lavender Brown was so close that she seemed to be listening. When it arrived, it seemed that I didn't hear it.

But Hermione didn't care anymore.

After comforting the flustered Neville, she tilted her body and looked at Ringo again: "Do you want to sit down?"

"No need..." Ringo shook his head, "Don't eat too, how about taking you somewhere?"

"Where are you going? Aren't you hungry?" Hermione, who returned to normal, immediately felt the aroma of food, but she was embarrassed to say that she was not full, so she had to make a detour.

"A music box whets your appetite?" Ringo looked at her mockingly.

Hermione turned her head, although she didn't want to admit it.

But it is.

I felt uncomfortable and lonely all day, but the moment Ringo appeared, I really felt much better.

The music box proves that Ringo remembers his birthday.

She is already very satisfied.

"Let's go...it's just a little further from Hagrid's hut to the Black Lake." When Ringo said this, his voice rose slightly, and he looked around the students around him as if nothing had happened, and then landed on Hermione again. "Aren't you curious about what I'm doing today? Just go and see."

"All right……"

Hermione stood up, holding the Pumpkin Cart music box with both hands, felt a few glances, immediately lowered her head slightly, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and just followed Ringo away.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ringo leads her past Hagrid's hut.

Came to an embankment slope.

Although it was dinner time, the sun had not completely set, and was hanging in the west, reflecting a fiery red sunset indistinctly.

"It's so beautiful..." Hermione sat on the lawn, staring at the sunset, seeming to have forgotten her hunger.

Ringo lay beside him with his arms under his pillow.

Seeing her a little obsessed.

He immediately said, "Are you going to keep holding this music box? Why don't you try listening to it?"

Hermione just looked at the pumpkin cart music box. She didn't refuse, and after observing for a while, she twisted the key correctly.

Then--

The little figure inside the pumpkin caravan suddenly moved.

It whimpered and fluttered its butterfly-like wings behind it, and flew out from the hood, singing "Happy Birthday to You", dancing in front of Hermione.

"So cute!" Hermione's eyes widened, "It looks just like the real thing."

"Is there a possibility that it is indeed a magical animal called a fairy?" Ringo corrected.

Hermione touched the fairy with her hand, and asked suspiciously, "Is this true?"

"of course it's true!"

Ringo finally sat up, and pointed forward: "Everything here is true!"

Hermione looked over as directed.

next moment……

She saw several fairies flying from a distance, but compared to the dancing one, these fairies all carried tools in their hands, and there would be colorful tail lines in the area they flew over, intertwined with each other, very The words "Hermione Granger Happy Birthday" were almost formed;

Below the fairy.

There is also a creature like a living branch, with three legs, constantly jumping and clapping;

clap clap...

In the black lake, a few mermaids appeared at some point. They all held a big conch in their hands. When they blew gently, they made a pleasant sound, which was perfectly blended in the birthday song of the music box;

A little far away in the Forbidden Forest.

Two horse-like creatures came out slowly, one was covered in silver and had a single horn, and the other had an eagle's head and wings.But they didn't get too close, they just lingered on the edge;

Not only that.

When Hermione looked back.

But I was surprised to find that picnic cloths appeared on the lawn at some time, and all kinds of exquisite food emerged on them.

"This is..." She was full of shock.
