Mike stared at Penello nervously. Although Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey had assured Mike that the potion prepared by Snape using mandrake would definitely restore Penello, Mike was still very nervous.

nervous.

It turned out that Mike's worries were unnecessary. Penello's long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and then slowly opened her eyes under Mike's expectant gaze.

Penello looked at Mike, who looked surprised, in confusion, and asked: "What... is going on? What happened?"

"This is a long story, madam. Please allow me to talk to you later. Your first priority now is to eat. You have been petrified for several days." Mike thought when he saw Penello wake up.

A big stone finally fell to the ground, and he said to it in a funny tone similar to that of an early British gentleman.

Penello ate the bread that Mike handed him in a daze, trying to remember what happened before.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, grabbed Mike's hand before he could retract it after passing the bread, and said angrily: "You let me go!"

"Well, actually the letter asking you out was not written by me. Why don't you recall it carefully."

Penello frowned and thought for a while before slowly saying: "I remember that I received your letter asking me to meet at the Eagle Head knocker that night and went out. Then I waited for a long time and you didn't come.

I was so anxious that I kept staring at the door. Then...then I saw a vertical pupil."

When Penello said this, she covered her head in pain. Mike hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and comforted her: "Okay, everything is over now."

After being held in Mike's arms, Penello's condition seemed to be much better, and his tight brows relaxed.

"uh-huh!"

While the two were enjoying this beautiful time, a coughing sound suddenly came over.

Penello hurriedly pushed Mike away, and with a blushing face, he retracted into the quilt and did not dare to look at anyone. Mike sighed and turned to look at the person at the door who had disturbed his good deeds.

"Mr. Townley, I think you and Miss Penello should get ready. Tonight's celebration dinner is about to begin." Dumbledore's eyes were full of smiles and he said in a teasing tone.

.

Next to him were Harry and Ron who were looking gossipy. Mike was a little surprised. Logically speaking, when Harry was discharged from the hospital, Hermione should also be here. He looked up and looked behind the two of them, only to find that Hermione was holding her arms alone.

With his back facing the door of the ward, he seemed a little angry.

Mike chuckled and replied: "Okay, Principal Dumbledore, we will go right away. You can go first without waiting for us."

Dumbledore agreed and left with a smile. Harry and Hermione also made preparations to leave. Only Ron seemed to have something else to say to Mike, with a hesitant expression on his face and was reluctant to leave.

Upon seeing this, Harry quickly stretched out his hand to pull Ron away, and at the same time made a cheering gesture to Mike.

Seeing that everyone had left, Mike gently patted the bulging quilt and said to Penello, who was acting as an ostrich inside: "They are all gone. Come out."

The white quilt was kicked away, and Penello said to Mike: "They saw it!"

"So?" Mike asked doubtfully.

"They saw it!" Penello's expression became even more exaggerated when he heard Mike's answer, as if he was surprised that Mike didn't understand the seriousness of this problem.

Mike spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and gave her a confused expression.

Upon seeing this, Penello completely exploded and rushed directly towards Mike. He kept slapping Mike's chest and kept mumbling: "They must have seen it. I'm almost dying of embarrassment!"

Although Penello didn't hit her hard, Mike wouldn't just stand there and let her hit him. His hands passed under her armpits, and he directly picked up Penello from the bed and started spinning around, causing the girl to let out a cry.

A scream.

After a while, Mike put down the panting Penello, looked at the bright smile on Penello's face again, and said: "I think we may not have time to dwell on this problem anymore. You heard what Dumbledore said just now.

Well, the dinner is about to start, and you... your current appearance is really... hard to describe."

After hearing this, Penello quickly ran to the bedside and picked up the mirror and looked at it.

I saw Penello in the mirror with messy hair, a blushing face, and even the skirt of his clothes was half open.

Penello screamed and rushed out. As soon as he left the ward door, he turned back and said to Mike: "I have to go back to the dormitory to touch up my makeup right away! Lend me your clothes first, I can't let others see it."

This is what I look like now!”

Mike curled his lips when he heard this, cast a transformation spell to turn Penello's windbreaker into a hooded robe, and said: "I just want to go to the dormitory to tidy up, let's go together."

Penello nodded, put on his hood and followed Mike out of the ward.

On the way back to the Ravenclaw lounge, Mike told Penello in detail what had happened in the past few days. Those thrilling stories made Penello exclaim from time to time.

It wasn't until the two of them arrived at the Ravenclaw lounge that Penelope parted ways with Mike and returned to her dormitory to touch up her makeup, while Mike also went to straighten his hair that was messed up while fighting the basilisk.

It didn't take much time for Mike to come to the lounge again, but at this time, the door to Penello's dormitory was still closed. Mike was not surprised. Girls always spend a lot of time putting on makeup. Because boys cannot enter the girls' dormitory.

According to the rules, Mike could only sit back on the sofa where he usually sat by the fire and waited silently. Due to the Basilisk, Mike had not sat on this sofa chair for a long time in the past few days. At this time, he sat on this sofa again.

Sitting on it, a familiar feeling of comfort made Mike couldn't help but close his eyes.

Perhaps because he had been in a state of high mental stress these past few days, Mike actually fell asleep like this.

In the dream, Mike saw the raven again. He originally thought that the raven was going to cause trouble again, but the strange thing was that the raven just kept scratching his nose with its feathers.

He is very itchy.

When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Penello who was scratching his nose with her hair. He couldn't help but feel funny and reached out to hug him.

But Penello avoided Mike's arms as nimbly as a kitten, raised a finger and said, "Don't mess around. I managed to do it with great difficulty. Don't mess it up again."

Only then did Mike notice the change in Penello. Penelo must have put on light makeup. At first glance, there was no trace of makeup, but she looked better than before. Although she was wearing Hogwarts clothes

The school uniform robe still couldn't hide Penelo's beautiful figure. Mike looked at the faint bulge on the school uniform robe, recalled the feeling of Penelo when he hugged her in the ward, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You are so beautiful! You will definitely be the most beautiful girl tonight!" Mike praised without hesitation.

Penello, however, blushed at Mike's unabashed exaggeration. She flipped her hair awkwardly, exposed the earrings on her ears and said to Mike: "Let's go quickly, it's getting late."

Only then did Mike notice that the sky outside had completely darkened, so he got up and headed to the auditorium with Penello.

Along the way, Mike secretly used his magic sense to feel the material of Penello's pair of earrings, and found that they were just cheap silver. He couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
