Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

In the Hufflepuff lounge, Ling Bai sat in a soft recliner, holding a cool iced drink in his hand.

The handsome young man opposite had worry in his eyes.

"feel better now"

Ling Bai rolled his eyes and stared at Cedric without blinking. The grievance in his eyes made Cedric feel distressed.

Cedric gently played with Ling Bai's hair.

Because I cried so excitedly just now, sweat broke out on my forehead and wet some of my hair.

"Ling Bai, are you listening?"

Ling Bai nodded, then lowered his head again, his eyes falling on the drink in his hand.

There are a few crystal ice cubes floating in the beautiful glass, looking like rotten wood floating in the sea.

"Thank you, Cedric, for the trouble."

"Don't say that. I'm very happy to see you. But why are you crying? Is there something that makes you unhappy?"

Seeing Ling Bai continue to remain silent, Cedric smiled.

"Everyone has troubles, but when I am sad I will choose to talk to my friends, and my friends will help me find solutions. We are friends, aren't we?"

The young man's hands were large and warm, but Ling Bai's thoughts drifted away.

Just now he felt the red rope on his left wrist beating like a pulse.

When Ling Bai wanted to feel it carefully again, he found nothing, as if telling him that it was an illusion.

Ling Bai pursed his lips slightly.

"Cedric, can you tell me what I should do?"

Ling Bai roughly recounted the story of Draco, Harry and the others, especially describing how he was living under someone else's roof.

As expected, Cedric's eyes became even more distressed.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work."

The pale and fragile person forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

As he chatted with Cedric, it was already evening and he was going to go to Snape's place.

"Sorry Cedric, I have to go, thank you for today"

Ling Bai opened his arms and gave Cedric a big hug.

Cedric was stunned for a moment, and he was still immersed in the hug until Ling Bai left.

The boy was so soft and smelled so good, just like a girl.

Cedric looked at the half-full glass of drink on the table. He picked up the glass and his eyes fell on the wall of the glass.

Because it was a cold drink, water droplets condensed on the wall of the cup.

But there was only one spot on the brim of the cup without any water stains, and a lip shape was faintly visible there.

This is the cup of water that Ling Bai just drank from.

As soon as this idea appeared in Cedric's mind, it quickly occupied him.

By the time he reacted, his lips were already on it, right at that spot.

Cedric put the cup down in a hurry, his eyes full of panic.

What was I doing just now? How could I do that?

The thumping sound of his heartbeat rang in Cedric's ears like a drumstick hitting a drum.

Cedric covered his face and realized that the temperature of his face seemed to be wrong.

Ling Bai's eyes were slightly swollen from crying, and he came to Snape's office.

He just said hello and then went back to processing the herbs.

Snape, who was sitting on the sofa, waited for a while and felt something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at Ling Bai.

But Ling Bai lowered his head, as if he wanted to bury his face, so he couldn't see clearly.

Snape frowned.

"What are you looking for in your head? Do you want to dig into the soil? Are there any gold galleons in the soil?"

Ling Bai didn't say anything, but just buried his head even lower.

"look up"

The boy remained silent. Snape could no longer sit still. He stood up, walked directly to Ling Bai, and stretched out his hand.

The chin was forced up by a force that was not heavy but would not allow it to escape.

What caught my eye were the eyes that were still slightly red and swollen from crying.

Snape was stunned for a moment, then filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Who bullied you?"

Ling Bai didn't say anything, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyelashes covered his eyes like a feather fan.

"Are you dumb, or has someone put a mute on you?"

"Don't ask, professor."

The young man's soft mosquito-like humming voice was heard.

Snape felt a rage building up in his chest.

"Lingbai Gaunt, I order you as a professor to speak."

Ling Bai seemed to have been suddenly turned on a switch. He used all his strength to push Snape away, then tried to open his eyes wide to prevent the tears from overflowing.

"Okay, then professor, tell me who I am and let me find my biological parents. This way I won't have to live under someone else's roof and won't even have the ability to help my friends out."

Snape was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became very ugly.

"Draco, that brat bullied you."

Ling Bai tilted his head and wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

"no"

"If you don't tell me, I will still get the news from Draco."

"Okay, then the professor can go ask Malfoy. Anyway, I am a person that no one wants. I don't even know who my parents are. What else can I do?"

After saying that, Ling Bai turned and left.

Snape stretched out his hand to stop him, but finally withdrew his hand silently.

Ling Bai did not run out crying. After coming out, he seemed to be walking aimlessly in the corridor.

When they walked through two or three corridors, they saw Harry and his group, as well as a group of people.

Ling Bai quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and walked to Percy's side.

"What happened Percy?"

Percy saw Ling Bai was stunned for a moment, then looked worried.

"We don't know either. When we got here, we saw Harry and the others, and you..."

Percy was about to say something but stopped himself, and Ling Bai quickly wiped his face.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked so much.”

Ling Bai shook his head and smiled at Percy.

When he turned his head, his eyes met Draco's, and Ling Bai quickly looked away.

Filch came over and accused Harry of killing his cat, and Harry shook his head quickly.

Fortunately, Dumbledore and others arrived in time and stopped Filch.

Ling Bai looked at Snape who was following behind Dumbledore with a cold expression.

"Everyone return to your dormitories immediately and do not come out."

As soon as Dumbledore said this, everyone immediately prepared to go back.

"Except for the four of you"

Ling Bai was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he would be left behind.

"Principal, Ling Bai was with me all night, and he just came out of my office."

"I know Snape, don't be nervous, I just want to ask Mr. Gaunt a few questions."

Snape clenched his hands slightly under his robe and remained silent.

After asking Harry and the others about their affairs, Dumbledore asked the three to go back, and Ling Bai was left behind again.

Harry looked at Ling Bai with some concern, and Ling Bai smiled at him to comfort him.

But he had cried several times today, and his face was pale and his eyes were red, which made it impossible for Harry to feel at ease.

"Mr. Gunter, I think I can invite you to my office for a chat."
