Chapter 140 - Stone success...

While walking to Hogwarts, Gray felt something and stopped... Then a smile appeared on his face and walked again to the school...

...

Not far away from the place where Gray was walking in, Perona wearing her witch hat on her head standing alone looking at the lake in front of her with a blank face...

Not far away from her, she saw a male student asking another female student for a dance... they look so happy... That she wants to throw her ghosts, to make the scene happier...

*Sigh...* With a sigh, Perona held a stone and threw it away...

"Why no one asking me to dance..... let's not say the others... WHY GRAY IS NOT ASKING ME! AM I SO BAD!" Perona's calm face slowly lost its calmness and started hitting the ground with her leg...

She didn't realize her actions scared the few students who were around...

After venting for a few seconds she calmed down and threw another stone...

But this time a hand came from behind and took the stone from her hand and threw it toward the lake...

"Gray!" Seeing Gray appeared silently behind her, Perona was surprised and more panicked.

She didn't notice when Gray appeared around her...

"Did you prepare for the party? Wanna go and to the city and pick something?" Before she speaks, Gray asked first.

"Ha..?" Hearing Gray's words, Perona was surprised again and almost didn't react directly...

"There is no need... no one invited me... Maybe I'm not going..." But think for a second she said depressedly...

"Ouch..." But before she continues, Gray hit her forehead with his finger which pained her...

"What are you talking about? aren't we are going together like always?" Gray looked at her with dead fish eyes... But in his heart, he was laughing funnily... This girl is really funny...

When he reached the place, he heard her words and almost laughed out loud...

Who will dare to ask her with all the ghosts moving around her all the time... Gray really felt funny hearing her words...

But he knows that he should say something to her...

He didn't care at first, because it was really as he said... Shouldn't she go with him as they always do? Why thinking too much about it? But in another thought, from Perona's point of view, he really should ask her...

Hearing Gray's words, Perona froze again... Gray's words were clear... They are going together... Like always...

"HraHraHra, Yes like always..." Within a few seconds, her face changed too much, and a happy smile enough to make her fly appeared on her face.

Seeing Perona finally smiled like always, Gray also smiled... But he didn't realize that his words made her happy in many different words...

So under Gray's eyes, Perona said that she has something to do and left alone...

"Well... Things solved" Looking at Perona flying back to Hogwarts, he felt funny and also followed...

But along the way, he stopped again...

This time he saw Hermione studying alone in one of the chairs outside, but just seeing her almost beating the book while writing, he can see how bad her mood right now... So he thought for a second and walked to her side...

...

...

...

After going back, the sky of Hogwarts started snowing, and everyone stayed in the school after...

These days, Gray watched how the trio acted and felt helpless... How to say it... Ron and Harry were really blind birds...

Especially Ron... This guy made it clear that he wants to go out to the party with a beautiful girl... and used Hermione as the last result... Which immediately angered Hermione.

So she walked away with anger and told them that she already had a partner... Which surprised Ron and made him restless...

Well... Gray can understand her mood...

How to say it... For Hermione as a girl, when seeing her best two friends not even look at her or try to invite her to a simple dance party.

But looking at other girls to go with... Then used her as the last choice...

This... enough to upset anyone...

Ugh... He really doesn't like this scene...

As for Harry, this kid's mind was somehow more straight... he liked a girl and didn't think of another, just looked at her... Even though he was disappointed to find that she already found another partner... But he still looked at her...

Unfoutnrly for him, he won't get the chance to be with her in the future, after all, her future partner won't die like the original...

...

A few days after, the day of the Yule Ball party...

In the shared room.

Gray looked at the big container that has many things around it and took a bottle of weird liquid then opened it slowly, and with most gentle movement, he dropped two drops in the container in front of him...

"BOOG*

With the drops falling down, the containers started shaking and all the Ingredients inside started glowing together...

Seeing this, on Gray's other hand, a white stone appeared, unlike other normal stone, this stone looks so pure and dusty.

So he threw it directly inside the container with everything inside...

*WOOOOOSH* With his action, a red light appeared from the container washing the entire room, shining on Gray...

Till a few seconds later, the light calmed down, and the entire room was filled with the pure and extraordinary breath...

Gray slowly walked to the container and looked inside...

There was nothing inside the container except a ruddy red shining gym that looks like a beating heart inside the container...

The stone inside rose up by itself and fall on Gray's hand...

"Finally... the second one success!" Gray looked at the stone and smiled weirdly...

With the countless material he got in these years, Gray managed to create two philosopher's stone only... one he created the last weak and already extracted the two attributes he wants from it, and the other one today... Creating this stone was really hard...

But this didn't disappoint him, and in fact, he felt its a great success!

After all, he didn't use any luck to cheat...

"Bloody hell... What was that just now!" While Gray was observing the stone, on his hand, Ron's voice appeared from behind...

"PFFT" Gray turned his head and saw Ron who was looking at Gray with curiosity, but the moment he saw what was Ron wearing he laughed...

"Aren't you so handsome like this...." Seeing Gray laughing at him, Ron felt the life was dark again...

If even Gray showed this reaction, what about the others outside...

"Aren't you going to the party..." But then, seeing Gray still wearing normally like this, Ron asked weirdly... As a champion, Gray should be going...

"Yeah... I'm going after ending what I'm doing..." Gray said this while taking his things back to the ring...

"So who's your partner ...Perona?" Hearing Gray answer, Ron thought for a second and asked... Come to think about it, no one asked Gray about this till now...

"Mmm..." Gray cleaned everything and took the last weird potion he was boiling beside the container.

"Well, that was expected..." Ron said this and looked at himself in the mirror with an annoyed face...

"I still don't understand who would take Hermione with him, she said someone has invited her, I'm sure she's hiding somewhere crying alone because no one really invited her..." Ron said while trying to fix his rob that simply can't be fixed...

"Why you think like this? What's wrong with Hermione? Tell me... How many good girls like her you know outside? What she's inferior compared with others? Don't you think it's normal for someone to be interested in her?" Gray said this and sniffed the weird liquid he was boiling just a few seconds before; "Ugh, smell bad"

"It's her personality you kn...." Ron wanted to say something again but...

"Personality?... I haven't seen her doing any wrong thing till now to say this... In fact, if it wasn't for her unique and smart personally, you and the protago.. I mean Harry would have been dead several times already... Don't you think so..." Gray spoke and stops his unresponsible words Ron was about to say again...

Maybe because he was in a good mood for the stone success, Gray said more than usual...

"Well..." Ron heard Gray's words and wanted to say in low voice...

"Well... I said too much, just a piece of advice Ron, Don't keep your way of thinkning, or you will regret it... Well... Whatever, go out, I should get ready" Gray said this, and threw Ron out of the shared room, and closed the door at himself...

"What was that..." Ron outside the room, looked at Gray closing the room, and felt uncomfortable.

"Ron are you ready?" Harry's voice appeared from behind Ron who was still standing in front of the door, thinking what Gray meant just now...

"Harry..." Seeing Harry there, Ron woke up...
