Chapter 567 "Gryffindor's Girls Dorm"

Gryffindor girls' dormitory was buzzing with conversation as Hermione entered.

"Hermione, another study session with Jerry?"

Lavender, a blond girl with a pink bow headband, was seated, engrossed in a book on divination and magic.

She spoke teasingly upon noticing Hermione's arrival.

Hermione, feeling a bit flustered, responded, "Lavender, we were just studying together in the library."

"We were just studying in the library... It's been three years, and you two still haven't officially confirmed your relationship? If it were me, I'd have pounced on him and kissed him by now."

Lavender echoed Hermione's words, a hint of disdain in her tone.

Hermione couldn't help but imagine the scenario Lavender described, and her cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson.

"That... that's rather forward!" Hermione refuted Lavender's words out of surprise.

The last time she and Jerry had indirectly kissed through the candied haws, her heart had felt as if it was about to leap out of her chest.

The thought of jumping on Jerry and kissing him left her feeling absolutely flustered.

Lavender responded with a pout, "Forward? That's called being forthright. If I had someone I liked, I'd express my feelings in front of everyone, give him a passionate kiss, and let him know my affection."

Hermione found it challenging to respond.

She thought Lavender might be a little eccentric, but it didn't occur to her that Lavender had such a different perspective on love.

"By the way, do you have anyone you're interested in?" Hermione inquired.

Lavender set aside her book on love divination and replied, "Yes, Jerry. He's handsome and talented. Who wouldn't be interested in him? Unfortunately, apart from you, we barely get a chance to interact with him at all."

Jerry was presently regarded as one of the most popular wizards at Hogwarts.

He was the kind of person who could capture the attention of both men and women.

Secret admirers ranged from first-year students to seventh-year students.

However, most of them had a realistic understanding of the situation.

They knew that pursuing Jerry was futile, akin to being fans of a celebrity.

Additionally, aside from those in his own year in Slytherin who interacted with him, his rumored girlfriend Hermione, and his close friend Harry, nobody else had much access to him.

"My love divination magic actually hinted that my true love might be Ron. He might be a good choice." Lavender added upon seeing Hermione being deep in thought.

"Ron?" Hermione asked to confirm whether what she had just heard was a nonce or not.

Hermione was surprised to hear Lavender's revelation.

She found it hard to fathom that Ron, the wayward guy, was still the object of attraction for girls.

"Hermione, you better make your move soon. I've heard that Daphne has been chasing Jerry, and my sister, Padma, is interested too. In Ravenclaw, several girls have their eyes on him. If you don't act, someone might steal him from you!"

At that moment, an Indian witch who had been lounging on a bed in the dormitory, stretching her back, chimed in.

Hermione's heart skipped a beat at the mention of Daphne.

She was aware of Daphne's pursuit of Jerry.

Over the past three years, whenever she engaged in a conversation with Jerry in the common room, Daphne would glare at her as if she were an enemy.

However, her primary concern was Padma of Ravenclaw, the twin sister of her roommate, Parvati.

Parvati and Padma, known as the most beautiful witches at Hogwarts, had been admired by many male students.

Both Ron and Harry had praised their good looks.

Hermione thought to herself that it wouldn't be surprising if Jerry also fell under their spell.

"Will I need to be more proactive?" Hermione asks herself.

Hermione decided then and there that she would make an effort to establish a clearer relationship with Jerry and claim her territory, not allowing anyone else from the school to have an opportunity to interfere.

"Hermione, what's in that box?" Lavender inquired while slowly moving in closer to observe what was in Hermione's hand.

Lavender, noticing the exquisite box in Hermione's hand, became curious.

Parvati also joined in, attracted by the box.

Hermione didn't hide it. She proudly raised the box and said, "This is the birthday present Jerry gave me!"

"What a beautiful bracelet!"

Lavender and Parvati gazed at the delicate pair of silver bracelets inside the box with a mix of envy and a tinge of jealousy.

Although they had just teased Hermione, in reality, they understood that attempting to take Jerry from her at this point would be nearly impossible for anyone in the school.

It wasn't because of Hermione; it was because of Jerry.

What they didn't realize was that Jerry had traveled through various magical worlds and encountered countless beautiful girls, so he was not particularly swayed by looks.

Jerry felt a connection with Hermione because when he initially encountered magic, he spent all his time discussing and learning magic with her.

After reuniting after many years, he held a unique sentiment toward her.

"Go ahead and try it on!"

Lavender and Parvati urged after their admiration.

Hermione remembered what Jerry had mentioned during the day. The anticipation that had subsided for a brief period resurfaced in her mind.

She carefully took out the pair of silver bracelets from the box and began to put them on, one on each wrist.

Suddenly, a surge of magical power emanated from the two bracelets, entered her body through her wrists, and intermingled with the magic within her.

Instinctively, she extended her left hand to touch the bracelet on her right wrist.

A soft, silver glow radiated from the bracelet on her right wrist, enveloping her entire body.

After the light dissipated, Hermione's typical school wizarding attire had transformed into an elegant black off-the-shoulder evening dress with intricate lace embellishments.

With a swish of the bracelet, the evening dress changed into a long-sleeved, sophisticated gown.

Another swipe turned it into a low-cut, open-back, waist-length dress.

As Hermione continued to swipe the bracelet, her attire shifted through various styles, each of them masterfully crafted.

What was even more astonishing was that the bracelet allowed for more than just evening dresses.

It could generate all kinds of outfits, including skirts, shorts, lingerie, coats, sweaters, and more.

After testing her right hand, Hermione swiped the bracelet on her left wrist, and her clothing's colors began to change.

She realized that Jerry had created the silver bracelet using magic-infused metal and incorporated various spells such as transfiguration, garment charm, and color-changing magic.

He had also integrated tens of thousands of unique designs provided by the Smart Bracelet Silly Girl Clothing.

With this bracelet, she could instantly alter her outfit by simply swiping it.

She could change the colors and design of her clothing and even create custom designs using her own magical input.
