21. Langlock

It was a sunny day in the beginning of March, when their romantic history began. This eventful day started from a very strange and suspicious act – Hermione was late for breakfast.
This morning she found a colorful box beside her bed. Examining it, she noticed a little note: “My beloved Hermione! Well, this is awkward, but I have deep feelings for you for so long… Please enjoy my gift to you. Your secret admirer.”
Hermione read the note again, shocked. Finally there was a boy who liked her! She opened the box, and….
She tried to scream, but nothing came out. Her tongue was glued to the roof of her mouth! It’s the langlock spell! She guessed. And she knew the counter spell. She grabbed her wand from her side table, and pointed it at her mouth. Finite Incantatum! She thought as she could, and her tongue came back to normal.
She went back to the box, angry with herself because she believed she had a real admirer. She started examining it, and saw another note inside. “Can’t believe you actually thought some boy may like you! Enemy.”
