With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

At that moment, she unconsciously poked at the apple pie on the plate with her fork, turning the crisp apple pie into crumbs. It was unclear whether she was trying to convince her best friend or herself.

Others reacted in various ways, but in general, every girl envied Ginny's current treatment and wished she could be in her place. It can only be said that Levin was right to use magic to appease Hermione.

Otherwise, the one who was closest to her would definitely have said a bunch of sarcastic things.

But many girls watched this warm and romantic scene with shining eyes, praising Lai's thoughtfulness.

"How could Levin possibly be interested in a Weasley's daughter, and even go to feed her himself?" Draco Malfoy said sourly as he watched Levin being so attentive to Ginny at the Slytherin table.

He was jealous that those girls could get so close to Levin.

“You’re right, redheads always cause trouble.” Pansy Parkinson picked up a small steak and, mimicking Draco’s behavior, fed it to him.

Malfoy frowned almost imperceptibly, but still forced himself to swallow it.

However, compared to Levin and Ginny, they seemed less romantic.

Pansy's poodle-like face and affected expressions disgusted the young wizards around her.

After feeding Ginny, Levin picked up a beef burger, ready to eat it.

Just then, a man strode in from the foyer. He was wearing a new Auror uniform and looked very dashing.

As soon as he appeared, many people called out his name.

“Gabriel Truman!”

"Class monitor!"

Gabriel Truman, a Hufflepuff graduate, graduated in the same year as Penelope and Ciri. He had been a prefect in Hufflepuff until then, so many people knew him.

Of course, besides being the prefect, he was also one of the first members of the Knowledge Society and had attended classes in the society's third class.

Last summer, Levin personally recommended him to Jaina and Tonks.

Chapter 397 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Gabriel nodded slightly to the familiar young wizards, and then, under their curious gazes, walked briskly to the Gryffindor table and stopped in front of Levin.

He said softly, "Master Levin, an old man went to the Auror office today to confess. He said that he was following your instructions and wanted to apologize to Miss Hermione Granger and Miss Ginny Weasley in person. I have brought him to Hogwarts. I wonder if you and the two ladies are free to see him now?"

Levin turned to look at Hermione and Ginny, both kind-hearted girls, who nodded in agreement.

So the three of them followed Gabriel through the corridor and arrived at a small classroom on the first floor.

The classroom was empty except for a row of chairs in the center.

They walked straight over, sat down, and quietly waited for the person who had turned himself in to arrive.

Seeing Ginny's brow furrow slightly from the occasional large movements, Levin felt a pang of guilt: "I should have just given you a drop of the 'Rejuvenation Elixir,' then you wouldn't have had to suffer so much."

“No, it’s not your fault.” Ginny mustered up her courage and said what was on her mind. “In fact, if I could be fed and taken care of by you, I would rather suffer for a few more days.”

After saying this, a blush rose to her face.

“You don’t have to do this, really.” Levin sighed. “I still hope you can stay healthy and unharmed.”

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and the three of them looked up at the doorway in unison.

The door slowly opened, and an old man with sparse white hair and a wrinkled face walked in with a cane, his steps faltering.

He was so old that his teeth were scattered everywhere, he couldn't close his mouth, and saliva kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Upon seeing the three men, the old man suddenly knelt down and apologized to them incoherently, clasping his hands together and begging Levin for forgiveness.

Hermione and Ginny exchanged a glance, and both kind-hearted people expressed their willingness to give each other a chance.

Seeing this, Levin waved his hand, and a gray energy dissipated from the old man's body.

But his appearance did not change at all.

“You should be glad you turned yourself in to the Ministry of Magic in time,” Levin stared at the old man, his expression one of undisguised disgust. “However, the effects of my curse won’t be lifted immediately. You have a two-year sentence, so you can use that time to slowly regain your youth in prison.”

He adjusted his posture and asked in an icy tone, "Have you heard of that cursed Muggle, Benjamin Button?"

The old man nodded. This was a major case that occurred in the United States at the beginning of the century, involving a violation of the International Wizarding Secrets Act.

An American wizard from New Orleans is attempting to study a time-tamper, hoping to uncover the mysteries of time.

However, he made a serious mistake during the operation, causing the magical energy to go out of control and triggering a violent magical rampage.

The magic rampage didn't destroy anything, but it had far-reaching consequences.

The wizard himself vanished without a trace during the magical upheaval, perhaps turning into a fertilized egg, or perhaps traveling to another timeline.

The aftermath of the riot affected a pregnant woman in the wizard's neighbor's house; she was carrying a baby.

This baby was impacted by the forces of time, and its life course underwent a peculiar change.

He is Benjamin Button.

He was born with the appearance of an old man, but as the years went by, he gradually became younger.

The U.S. Ministry of Magic was unable to dispel the spell, so it had to station two wizards around Benjamin Button for a long time to cast spells on every Muggle who doubted him, convincing them that it was just some terrible illness or a miracle of God.

They also needed to ensure that strangers who had little contact with Benjamin Button would quickly forget about him.

In short, in order to prevent Benjamin Button from causing too much of a stir in Muggle society, the Magical Congress of the United States has spent a great deal of manpower and resources. Even now, wizards are still taking turns monitoring Benjamin Button, who looks like a 9-year-old child but is actually 76 years old.

This incident also impacted the improvement of the Wizarding Secrets Act in Shenyang.

This legendary and bizarre event, especially since it happened to an American wizard whom the wizards of the Underworld usually looked down upon, became a well-known topic of conversation among the wizards of the Underworld.

They always bring up this joke whenever they want to belittle American wizards.

"During this time, you will experience the same rejuvenation process as him. Your wrinkles will gradually disappear, and your lost hair will grow back on its own, but I can't do anything about your lost teeth. If you want to return to your former self, I recommend that you go to St. Mungo's and have a cup of Bone Regen after you get out of prison."

After saying that, Levin waved his hand, and Gabriel immediately stepped forward, grabbed the old man, and left the classroom.

Levin was still quite unhappy at this point.

The two girls were behind him, whispering to each other.

"When that old man knelt down, he spit on a large patch of your robe and soaked it with his saliva," Hermione suddenly stepped forward and reminded Levin, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Levin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He suddenly realized that Hermione had actually been bothered by the fact that he was feeding Ginny.

She simply didn't say it directly, but kept it to herself, waiting for the right opportunity to retaliate.

So I've been caught, haven't I?

But it's not over yet.

Hermione tilted her head and continued to Levin, "That Auror secretly told me that when they searched the old man's house, they found his room covered with your photos."

"I understand." Levin's voice was somewhat stiff.

Hermione was delighted to catch the fleeting embarrassment on the boy's face.

“We will keep these things a secret,” Hermione said sincerely.

“I know, but you guys sometimes make fun of me about these things.” Levin sighed, a rare hint of melancholy in his voice.

Hermione's become cunning too.

“And…” Hermione seemed to want to add something.

"Um, I have some things to do right now, see you later?" Levin interrupted her.

Hermione finally couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this: "I understand."

After a day of classes, the young wizards of Hogwarts are about to embark on a joyous day—it's time to head to Hogsmeade again.

In order to date as many girls as possible at the same time, Levin announced that he would cover all the shopping expenses for this trip to Hogsmeade.

So the next day at noon, Levin had no choice but to leave the castle with a large group of people.

Upon hearing that Prince Grimm was paying the bill, not only Hermione, Cho Chang, Luna, Ginny, and Fleur, but even Astoria and Gabrielle wanted to come along.

A perfectly good date turned into a group shopping trip.

After leaving the castle, they saw a sun emitting a faint silvery-white light, warmly shining on the earth.

Such weather is unusually warm for this winter.

When they arrived at Hogsmeade Village, everyone couldn't resist taking off their cloaks.

· ········Requesting flowers···· ·········

The Triwizard Tournament is open to the public, making it not only a grand event for the three schools but also a rare peak tourist season for Hogsmeade.

Whether it was the Elegant Wizarding Clothing Store, Honeydukes Candy Store, or Devis & Bance Store, large quantities of packing boxes were piled up in front of them. These boxes contained both newly purchased goods ready to be put on the shelves and various materials used to decorate the stores.

It seems that businesses are making thorough preparations for the arrival of tourists.

Even the "Three Brooms" bar was cleaned up by the beautiful proprietress and looked brand new, a world of difference from its previous dark and messy state.

The girls wandered among the shops in Hogsmeade Village, browsing endlessly and enjoying the carefree pleasure of shopping.

Without having to worry about running out of Galleons, they can freely choose any items they like.

The girls were having a great time browsing and choosing items in the store.

The only one suffering was Levin.

He had originally hoped that there would only be two or three girls with him, which would give him the opportunity to turn this trip to Hogsmeade into a date for three or even four people.

.... .. 0

Who would have thought that so many people would come? The girls were all so engrossed in their own conversations that they didn't pay any attention to him except when it was time to pay the bill.

...Or perhaps, this is the unspoken understanding between girls?

Levin eventually figured it out by spying on their thoughts: they were all actually quite shy, and no one dared to openly flirt with him in front of so many people.

It can only be said that he shot himself in the foot.

Meanwhile, inside the Three Brooms bar,

Harry and Ron watched speechlessly as Sirius and Madam Rosmerta flirted.
