Chapter 111 Penelope wakes up

. Mike stared at Penelope nervously. Although Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey had assured Mike that the potion prepared by Snape with mandrake would definitely make Penelope recover, Mike was still very nervous.

It turned out that Mike's worry was unnecessary. Penelope's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and then slowly opened her eyes under Mike's expectant gaze.

Penelope looked at Mike with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

"This is a long story, ma'am. Please allow me to tell you slowly later. Your first task now is to eat. You have been petrified for several days." Mike saw that Penelope woke up and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He said to her in a funny tone similar to that of an early British gentleman.

Penelope took the bread handed over by Mike in a daze, trying to recall what happened before.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and she grabbed Mike's hand before he could retract it after handing over the bread and shouted angrily: "You stood me up!"

"Uh, in fact, the letter asking you out was not written by me. Otherwise, you should think about it again."

Penelope frowned, pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "I remember that night I received your letter asking me to meet at the eagle-head door knocker, and then I went out, and then I waited for a long time but you didn't come, and I was anxious and kept staring at the door. Then...then I saw a vertical pupil."

Penelope covered her head in pain when she said this, and Mike hurried forward to hug her and comforted her: "Okay, now everything is over."

After being held in Mike's arms, Penelope seemed to be in a much better state, and her frowning brows also stretched out.

"Hmm!"

Just as the two were enjoying this beautiful time, a cough suddenly came.

Penelope hurriedly pushed Mike away, and her little face blushed and shrank back into the quilt again, not daring to look at anyone. Mike sighed and turned to look at the person who disturbed him at the door.

"Mr. Townley, I think you and Miss Penelope should get ready. The celebration dinner is about to start tonight." Dumbledore said with a smile in his eyes. Next

to him were Harry and Ron, who were gossiping. Mike was a little surprised. According to reason, Hermione should come when Harry was discharged from the hospital. Looking up behind them, he found that Hermione was facing the door of the ward with her arms folded across her chest, and seemed a little angry.

Mike chuckled and replied, "Okay, Principal Dumbledore, we will go right away. You go first and don't have to wait for us." Dumbledore

agreed and left with a smile. Harry and Hermione also pretended to leave, but Ron seemed to have something to say to Mike. He was reluctant to leave with an expression of wanting to say something but not wanting to.

Seeing this, Harry quickly reached out 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 Penelo who was acting as an ostrich inside: "They are all gone, you come out."

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

"So?" Mike asked puzzledly.

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

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

Seeing this, Penelo completely exploded and rushed directly to Mike, patting Mike's chest continuously, and kept muttering in his mouth: "They must have seen it, I'm almost embarrassed to death!"

Although Penelo didn't use force when she hit her, Mike would not just stand there and let her hit him. He passed his hands through her armpits and directly picked up Penelo from the bed and started spinning around, causing the girl to scream.

After a while, Mike put Penelope, who was out of breath, down and looked at the bright smile on Penelope's face again and said, "I think we may not have time to dwell on this issue anymore. You heard what Dumbledore said just now. The dinner is about to start, and you... you look really... hard to describe now."

Hearing this, Penelope quickly ran to the bedside and picked up the mirror to look at herself.

In the mirror, Penelope's hair was messy, her face was flushed, and her collar was half open.

Penelope screamed and was about to rush out, but just after leaving the ward door, she turned back and said to Mike, "I have to go back to the dormitory to touch up my makeup! Lend me your clothes first, I can't let others see me like this now!"

Mike curled his lips when he heard this, cast a transformation spell to turn Penelope's windbreaker into a hooded robe and said, "It just so happens that I also need to go to the dormitory to tidy up, let's go together."

Penelope nodded, put on the hood, followed Mike and walked out of the ward.

On the way back to the Ravenclaw common room, Mike told Penelope in detail what had happened in the past few days. Those thrilling stories made Penelope exclaim from time to time. It was not

until the two came to the Ravenclaw common room that Penelope separated from Mike reluctantly and returned to her dormitory to touch up her makeup. Mike also went to tidy up her hair that was messed up when fighting the basilisk.

It didn't take Mike much time to come to the common room again, but the door of Penelope's dormitory was still closed. Mike was not surprised. It always takes a lot of time for girls to put on makeup. Because of the rule that boys cannot enter the girls' dormitory, Mike could only sit on the sofa where he often sat by the stove and waited silently. Mike hadn't sat on this sofa chair for a long time because of the basilisk these days. Sitting on it again, a familiar sense of comfort made Mike close his eyes.

Perhaps because his spirit has been in a highly tense state these days, Mike actually fell asleep like this.

In his dream, Mike saw the raven again. He originally thought that the raven was going to do something weird again, but strangely, the raven just kept scratching his nose with its feathers, making him very itchy.

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

But Penelope nimbly avoided Mike's arms like a kitten, raised a finger and said, "Don't mess around. I finally got it right. Don't mess it up again."

Mike only noticed the change in Penelope at this time. Penelope should have put on light makeup. At first glance, there was no trace of makeup, but she looked better than before. Although she was wearing the Hogwarts school uniform robe, it still couldn't cover up Penelope's beautiful figure. Mike looked at the faint bulge on the school uniform robe, and recalled the feeling when he hugged Penelope in the ward before, and couldn't help laughing.

"You are so beautiful! You will definitely be the most beautiful girl tonight!" Mike praised generously.

Penelope blushed at Mike's undisguised exaggeration. She shyly lifted her hair, revealing the earrings on her ears and said to Mike, "Let's go, it's getting late."

Mike then noticed that the sky outside had completely darkened, so he got up and went to the auditorium with Penelope.

Along the way, Mike secretly used his magic to feel the material of the earrings on Penelope's body, and found that it was just cheap silver. He couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He thought that maybe he knew what gift he should give her for Christmas.
