v2 Chapter 124： Tom, my legs are so cold

Tom was a little surprised when he saw Hermione appearing in the Astronomy Tower, "Hermione, why... didn't you take the train home?"

​​

He didn't like talking to Hermione with other people's faces.

​​

"I changed my mind before the train left." Hermione tilted her head and put her hands behind her back. She put her left foot behind her right calf, and tapped the ground with her toes.

​​

"It's a bit of a surprise, isn't it?"

​​

Tom nodded.

​​

Hermione lowered her head, her body trembled slightly, she stopped talking to Tom, and just rubbed her toes on the ground from left to right.

​​

"Aren't you... cold?" Tom's downed brain finally reacted, but he said something that made Hermione dumbfounded.

​​

On December nights, even velvet, the warmest stocking material, cannot withstand the cold winds of the Scottish Highlands. Although it is said that "fresh milk should be kept warm and ham should be refrigerated", the weather is still too cold.

​​

"Cold!" She raised her head and said pitifully, "It's really cold today!"

​​

Tom ran into the astronomy classroom in two steps, closed the door leading to the rooftop, and set the fireplace on fire. He and Hermione sat down with their backs against the fire.

​​

"Tom, my legs are cold!" Hermione put her seat very close to Tom and rubbed Tom lightly with her calf.

​​

After saying these words, a flush of red appeared on her face, and Tom also lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

​​

Time seemed to stop at this moment. The distance between the two was very close, and Tom could smell an icy aroma. It was Hermione's smell mixed with the cold winter wind. I don't know how long she had been standing outside. He looked at the delicate velvet, at the vague flesh color under the rounded curve, and he was sure that it would feel good to touch it.

​​

"Hermione..."

​​

"Um?"

​​

"I... I, I can give you a cold spell on your socks, so it won't be cold." Tom hesitated, some words that came to his mouth changed subtly, and finally became this sentence .

​​

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

​​

Tom gently tapped the wand on Hermione's thigh. When the tip of the wand touched her, Hermione trembled slightly, but soon recovered her calmness, letting Tom's wand swipe around her leg.

​​

The moment the rune was carved, Tom breathed a sigh of relief: This time, I was always distracted and hard to concentrate.

​​

Tom conjured up a ribbon, which consisted of hollowed-out squares and inlaid with a white rose made of magic silver.

​​

He wrapped the ribbon around Hermione's leg to make a leg loop, which formed a whole with the rune on the stockings. The moment the leg loops were connected end to end, Hermione felt a warm current flow from the leg loops, along the thighs, to the calves and toes, and to the crotch, spreading to the other leg.

​​

Hermione's legs were warm, as if the autumn sun was shining on them, and as if a lover's hand was caressing them.

​​

She laughed.

​​

"It's so warm," she changed position on the chair, "it's so beautiful."

​​

"Yeah, it's so beautiful." Tom echoed.

​​

"Come on, let's go back to London together."

​​

"it is good."

​​

As for how to get back, that's not difficult for Tom.

​​

Tom got up from his chair, ready to go to London with Hermione. Tom took a step, Hermione took a step, Tom took a step, Hermione took a step, followed. Tom stopped and hooked Hermione's hand, her fingertips were cold and wet.

Slender, thin, and cold.

​​

The two clasped their hands and stood together on the roof of the Astronomical Tower, feeling the strong wind blowing towards them.

​​

"In this weather, riding a broom is a kind of torture." Tom opened his mouth and was greeted with cold wind.

​​

"There's that kind of broom with a spell to keep out the wind and rain!" Hermione shouted loudly, lest the sound be blown into the wind.

​​

"But I still choose the phoenix." A golden flame rose from Tom's body, and he turned into a beautiful golden-red bird. After confirming that Hermione had grabbed his tail, Tom took off into the air and flew to London. .

​​

In cold weather, Floo and Phoenix are the best options for long-distance travel. The fireworks of the furnace and the phoenix can effectively dispel the cold and isolate the cold wind. In theory, though, the only fireplace at Hogwarts that connects to the Floo network is in the headmaster's office...

​​

Although Tom felt that he would not meet Dumbledore if he went to the headmaster's office now, he still did not go there to use the Floo network - Tom's hunch was correct, the headmaster's office is now empty and no one knows Dumbledore where to go.

​​

Phoenix flew to an empty alley outside London. After landing smoothly, Tom recovered his prototype, held Hermione's hand, and walked down the street.

​​

Walked the streets of London with Hermione until all the lights went out.

​​

Hermione grabbed Tom's sleeve and Tom put his hand in his trouser pocket until he walked to the end of the road.

​​

……

​​

The closer he got to Hermione's house, the more nervous Tom became.

​​

Hermione saw Tom's mood, and held Tom's hand a little harder. Feeling the strength that came from the hand, Tom looked at Hermione.

​​

"Don't worry, they've been looking forward to your coming back. Mom said, this is your home forever Hermione said with a smile," Dad also said that instead of inviting other wizarding children Come on, I'd rather ask Tom, everyone's habits are similar and familiar - he's not used to dealing with wizards. "

​​

Hearing Hermione say that, Tom's mood eased a little.

​​

Tom returned to the familiar street, the familiar fence, and the familiar house. But it's a little strange that on the night of the lights, Hermione's house turned off the lights.

​​

The note on the door answered Tom's doubts.

​​

"Seeing a doctor?" Hermione was stunned, "It's Christmas Eve today, why did Mom and Dad go to the emergency room?"

​​

Hermione's parents are dentists and they have their own clinic. It stands to reason that things like overtime on Christmas are not their responsibility. But unfortunately, an old friend of theirs had a problem with his teeth today - a toothache is not a disease, it hurts really badly, and the old friend couldn't stand the pain, so he had no choice but to ask the Grangers to visit his teeth.

​​

Mr. Granger and the friend were young and had a very close relationship. Naturally, he would not refuse if his friend was in trouble, so he went with his wife and left Hermione this note and a sumptuous Halloween dinner before leaving.
