HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 126 The choice to insist on participating

Since the incident with Mr. Crouch, Qiu Zhang finally thought about and worried about this matter.

She thought that she had not been completely sure before, but now that she was no longer sure about the identity of "Moody", she might be able to tell Professor Dumbledore for help.

She believes that anyone in Hogwarts can become a bad person, but Professor Dumbledore is absolutely impossible. Now only Professor Dumbledore can answer her confusion and control the fake Moody.

Soon, Qiu Zhang came to the large sculpture in the shape of a griffon again, hesitating and hesitating, only to see the griffin statue rotating on its own, revealing the spiral staircase inside.

Could it be that Professor Dumbledore knew that he was coming to find him?

Just as Qiu Zhang was about to walk up, he saw several people coming down the stairs one after another.

The first ones to come down were Fleur and Krum. Their expressions were not very good-looking, with solemn expressions on their faces and no energy.

Then Cedric's figure came into view. He was as dejected as the first two people. The moment he saw Qiu Zhang, he suddenly curled his lips and smiled reluctantly, as if he didn't want his emotions to affect Qiu Zhang. .

"Sed?" Qiu Zhang was puzzled by the expressions of these warriors. What did Professor Dumbledore say to them?

"Qiu..." Cedric slowly walked forward until he stood in front of Qiu Zhang. The forced smile on his face slowly relaxed as if he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Qiu, you seem to have known this for a long time? It seems that you have expected it?" Cedric then said a few questions, like murmuring to himself, or questioning something to Qiu Zhang.

"Qiu!" Harry's voice came from behind Cedric. He and Qiu Zhang looked at the stairs at the same time. Harry was seen walking down slowly, his eyes fixed on Qiu Zhang as if he had something in mind. Important things to say.

"Qiu, although I don't know how much pain and entanglement you have in your heart that cannot be expressed, I just want you to know that Cedric will always unconditionally trust and love Qiu Zhang!"

Cedric held Qiu Zhang's shoulders tightly, looked into her eyes seriously and intently, and spoke, his eyes firm and gentle.

"I will always be behind you!"

After saying that, Cedric turned around and stared at Harry, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly let go of Cho Chang's shoulders, letting Harry talk to Cho Chang, and then turned around and left first.

Qiu Zhang looked at Cedric's departing back for a long time, looking a little thin, with an inexplicable aura of desolation, which made people couldn't help but get closer to comfort him.

"Qiu..." Harry approached slowly, his eyes serious and dignified, "He is dead..."

"Who?" Qiu Zhang was confused subconsciously, but his heart still jumped suddenly.

"Mr. Crouch, it seems that even with the protection of people from the Ministry of Magic, Barty Jr. took advantage of it!"

Harry's words were like a bolt from the blue that shocked Qiu Zhang. Even though she was prepared, she never thought that Barty Jr. would kill her father with her own hands.

"What about Mu——little Barty?" Qiu Zhang asked immediately.

"Escaped, maybe aware of our suspicion of him. He was already gone when Professor Dumbledore and Snape went to the office to arrest him..." Harry sighed, and then spoke,

"But Professor Moody was found, and he was placed in a box in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. I asked why I kept looking at Professor Moody's name on the Marauder's Map in the office. It turned out that it had been hidden by Barty Jr. Right under your nose!”

"Then the Triwizard Tournament is cancelled!" Qiu Zhang tried his best to hide his unfounded joy and happiness that should not appear in the serious situation at this moment, and asked Harry with bright eyes.

Harry was silent...

This was not the result Qiu Zhang wanted to see. She was still looking at Harry motionlessly with a trace of expectation, eager for him to say something.

"Minister Fudge doesn't believe in these things. He asked the game to continue in order not to cause panic among the crowd!"

Harry hesitantly told Qiu Zhang the truth, and Qiu Zhang screamed in shock the next second as expected.

"Is he crazy? He is still deceiving himself when he is in such danger!" Qiu Zhang finally understood the deathly expressions on the faces of the three warriors just now.

"Then warriors..."

"The warriors have the right to choose, but they all insist on participating..." Harry guessed what Qiu Zhang wanted to ask and answered one step ahead.

Insist on participating? Is it out of responsibility...out of honor...or out of trust in Professor Dumbledore...

Qiu Zhang really doesn’t know much about it, maybe it’s because he doesn’t have such a high awareness...

……

……

Beside the black lake, Cedric was sitting on the lawn with his hands on the ground, his gaze motionless as he stared at the calm, stagnant lake, just like his own state of mind at the moment.

Suddenly, something blocked the breeze behind him, and Cedric guessed who it was without turning around.

"Autumn……"

Qiu Zhang sat quietly on the lawn next to Cedric. She ignored Cedric's forced smile and did not respond to his call. She just quietly... quietly looked at the lake in the distance with far-away eyes. And deep.

"Why are you still participating? It's obvious that you may pay for it with your life..."

There was a sound coming from the calm lake, oh no... it was the sound in Cedric's ear.

Qiu Zhang's voice was full of helplessness, with a hint of accusation and confusion.

"Qiu, when the note was thrown into the Goblet of Fire, I was ready to face everything!...Do you remember? You and I made up the Triwizard Tournament and how hard it was and how hard it was and how many lives were spent. …”

"It's not a fabrication!" Qiu Zhang retorted.

"Well, no. But what I want to say is much more than that. I just want to tell you that I have already prepared the courage to face all difficulties and hardships!" Cedric had a calm smile on his face, no longer reluctant this time. His eyes were firm and deep.

"Is it worth it?" Qiu Zhang's words came out slowly with a trembling voice. Unknowingly, her eyes were filled with tears, which blurred her vision.

The air fell into silence...

"...It's always worth it!" After looking at Qiu Zhang's hesitation for a moment, Cedric replied firmly. He slowly raised his hand and gently brushed the tears on Qiu Zhang's cheek, and gently took her into his arms.
