The other two adults, however, did not have as much inner turmoil; they simply circled Harley, constantly searching for Lily's shadow in her.
"I say, have you two seen enough?" Harry asked, a bit speechless.
"Uh, seen enough, seen enough. Well, we just came to make sure you were alright, and also..." Sirius said, as if performing Magic... well, magic is far more wondrous than magic.
He suddenly pulled out a large package from behind him: "This is the new dress I bought for you. Go back and try it on... Oh, and don't let those two brats, Ron and Neville, get too close to you."
Sirius reminded her seriously at the end.
But looking at Harley, she clearly didn't take it to heart.
That night...
"So you're really leaving?" Ron said, looking at Harley carrying her bedding roll, sounding miserable.
"Apparently so. Dumbledore found me a private dormitory for me to stay in until the Potion wears off. Besides, why are you guys so sad? I'm only staying for a month, it's not like I'm leaving forever." Harley rolled her beautiful eyes and said.
"No, I just feel... uh... never mind, let's hug." Ron said, putting down what was in his hands, only to be preempted by Neville, who was quicker.
"Take care."
After Neville was Ron. He hugged Harley tightly, only to feel that the current Harley was much softer and smaller than the previous Harry... and she smelled good too...
"Take care, brother... You smell so good... Just being honest." Ron said, his face red.
"But I didn't spray perfume? Is it body wash?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just my imagination," Ron explained.
The next day...
The much-anticipated Potion Class...
...and it was a fourth-year Potion Class.
Draco, leaning against the podium, looked at the unfamiliar girl sitting next to Hermione with a puzzled expression. He couldn't for the life of him remember who she was.
But this girl, how should I put it, was inexplicably beautiful.
"What are you looking at, Draco?" Clarke suddenly asked in a low voice.
"The girl next to the know-it-all. Was she always in Gryffindor?" Draco asked in a low voice.
"Know-it-all? Who's that?"
"Hermione Granger!" Draco snapped.
"Oh... I don't know her, neither of them." Clarke shook his head.
"Never mind, it's none of your business, go play somewhere else." Draco shook his head, calculated the time, suppressed his curiosity, and returned to his seat.
Soon, Snape walked in with a stern face, glanced at Harley sitting next to Hermione, and nodded, then began the class.
Soon, the first question of the class popped out of his mouth.
"Po... Miss Harley, please answer."
Harley stood up, bracing herself, while Hermione whispered something softly next to her. Then Harley quietly said, "Bifurcated plants."
"Correct answer. Gryffindor gets five points because of Harley. Please sit down." Snape completely ignored Hermione's small movement, pretending to be casual.
?....
?...
?....
All the Little Wizardss from Gryffindor and Slytherin looked at Snape in confusion, of course, subtly.
After all, today's Snape was truly a bit too unfamiliar.
However, Snape didn't bother with any of that, simply continuing to push the class forward. Soon, it was time for practical work.
Snape wandered around the classroom like a ghost, without even a sound from his footsteps.
Slowly, slowly.
Snape thus came behind Harley, suddenly picked up the semi-finished Potion on her desk, and sniffed it: "A very good Insight Potion, although not yet complete, it can still earn Gryffindor ten points."
After he finished speaking, he still made all the Little Wizardss in the classroom feel that he was very likely to have been disguised by others using Polyjuice Potion.
Of course, some Little Wizardss with excellent initiative and courage had already begun to act.
Like right now.
Snape looked at the Potion in Draco's cauldron, which only had a few degrees of color difference from the Insight Potion, frowned, then sniffed it using the fanning method....
"I need an explanation, Mr. Malfoy, what are you brewing an antidote for Polyjuice Potion for?" Snape said with a cold face.
"Professor..." Draco looked up at Snape, who frowned, but still understood what his student meant.
After all, as the Dean of Slytherin, and based on his usual persona, his actions today were indeed out of character.
After all, in just one class today, he had already given Gryffindor 15 points... Hmm...
But what was the problem with that?
He simply picked up a small cup, scooped half a cup of the Polyjuice Potion antidote, and drank it in one gulp.
Draco almost popped his eyes out watching this scene: "I know, wait, I'm going to call Professor Grindelwald. Professor, don't be afraid, he can definitely break the Imperio on you!"
Then he was pressed back into his seat by Snape, who also gave him two big slaps on the back of his head.
Harley on the other side felt nothing... Actually, she did feel something, for example, her Potion-making skill was rapidly increasing, after all, there was no longer that bat constantly spewing venom behind her. Not only her technique, but even her mindset had improved.
And so, until the end of class, Harley had earned nearly forty points for Gryffindor.
Not only was Gryffindor confused, but Slytherin was too.
Including Draco.
Although he didn't know what kind of background this suddenly appearing Little Witch named Harley had... Maybe she was Snape's goddaughter...
Huh? Why didn't Scarhead come to class today? Never mind, why should I care about him? Does he smell as good as Harley?
But why had he never seen her before? Was she abroad? Or had she also been receiving traditional master-apprentice education? But even then, there should have been a Sorting Ceremony, right?
Was he dreaming? Had he lost his memory?
Before he could finish thinking, standing at the classroom door, he saw Harley about to walk out, clutching her books.
Then, student Draco directly made his move.
"Miss Harley, may I have the honor of being your Yule Ball partner?"
