[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

The night of the Quidditch final, the Gryffindors reveled in the common room.

After Christo left the dormitory, people ran up to hug her along the way, out of the joy of sharing hugs.

Harry was in the middle, and everyone praised him sincerely.Wood's tough guy image was ruined tonight, and his excited tears flashed again and again.

Christo squeezed forward to congratulate him, and Harry scratched his head embarrassedly: "They're exaggerating!" he whispered.Christo wanted to say a few words, but was abducted by Angelina.

"Get a butterbeer for little Kelly!" she called to Fred.

Before Christo had time to refuse, a glass of butter beer was stuffed into her hand.

"It's so happy!" Angelina touched the cup in Christo's hand and took a big sip, "Kerry, why don't you join the team next year, Harry is too good, you can't Play—if you come—" Her eyes sparkled, "We will win the championship again!"

Under her gaze, Christo helplessly drank all the beer in the glass. "Angelina, I—"

"Oh, Kelly, don't say you want to refuse..."

Christo blinked and interrupted her pitifully, "Angelina, if I don't leave now, I will be late for Potions class."

Angelina stared at her backpack: "Are you still in confinement?"

"No, I'm going to study with Professor Snape for a more in-depth internship."

Angelina muttered: "He must have done it on purpose, why did he go today! Slytherin didn't let you celebrate with us after losing the game..." Although she was very dissatisfied, she let go while talking Christo.

Christo came out of the dormitory and took a deep breath, the empty corridor seemed extremely deserted.

She walked quickly towards Professor Snape's office, but was still five minutes late.He was stopped by Professor Snape for a quarter of an hour.Draco was already brewing the potion when she entered the lab.

Chris breathed a sigh of relief, and finally she didn't get depressed.

She walked over, thought for a moment and said, "Flying beautifully today."

Draco ignored her.

"I didn't just perfunctory you, I just kept watching with a telescope!"

"But - still lost." Draco's hand trembled, and the sliced ​​root in his hand became lumpy.

Kristo said seriously, "That's because the Firebolt flies faster than Nimbus 2001."

Draco looked up at her, a strange look in his pale gray eyes.

"And—you're too anxious, can you keep Harry from finding out? I noticed it in the stands—you were looking for the Snitch following the Franklin curve, and there were no Bludgers coming towards you, you Just changed the route, and it's no wonder Harry didn't suspect it."

Draco bit his lip, staring at her.

Christo stared back: "If I were to play today, you may not be able to win."

Draco snorted softly: "It won't be so easy next time."

Christo made a face at him: "Okay, I'll wait and see, next semester, how do you defeat Harry who is riding a Firebolt!" Her big sapphire blue eyes were like two bays of lake water, shining with waves , pouting lips haloed by candlelight.

Draco was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized and said arrogantly: "Wait and see."

The joyous atmosphere of the Quidditch victory carried on into June, when the days turned sweltering and the final exams followed.That leaves anyone who dreams of taking a walk outside with ice-cold pumpkin juice to sit down in a library, a professor, a common room, or anywhere else that provides them with a desk and chair to study.

Compared to most people, Christo is much more relaxed.But her Transfiguration class was still a big trouble, and Professor McGonagall was worried about her, and even asked Christo in private, if she learned so well in other subjects, is it because she doesn't like her that the Transfiguration is so bad.

Christo didn't want Professor McGonagall to think so, racking his brains to understand the theoretical knowledge of Transfiguration.

When exam week started, there were hurt looks on everyone's faces.The exam content is really difficult.

At noon on Monday, after Christo came out of Transfiguration class, she almost couldn't help rushing back, wanting to ask Professor McGonagall to give her another chance.The test involved turning a teapot into a turtle, which turned out to be without limbs.

Fortunately, other subjects soothed Christo's wounded heart. In the last exam, Muggle Studies, she even wrote down the principle of the telephone completely.Hermione couldn't believe it, because of that question, she could only remember a few key points vaguely.

Freed from the final exam, Christo started her happy life.In the morning when the weather was comfortable, she went for a walk by the lake, and in the hot afternoon, she hid in the cellar to brew her potion.As for the evening, her evening classes with Draco continued as usual.

On the last evening of the exam week, Kristall was about to leave after late classes, when Professor Snape called her back.

"Bring this to Professor Lupine later, so that he must drink it before tonight." Professor Snape said coldly. Since Gryffindor won the Quidditch match, Professor Snape's His complexion couldn't be normal.

Christo took the medicine carefully and left the office.

Draco stood outside the door waiting for her: "What's the matter?"

Krisdo raised the vial in Yang's hand: "It's for Professor Lupine."

The eyes of both of them were shining - this was most likely the Wolfsbane potion invented by the professor himself.

Draco coughed: "Let's send it there quickly." He sent Christo out of Slytherin's range before leaving.Christo went straight to Professor Lupine's office with the potion.

The round moon hangs in the sky, and the clear light shines on the quiet corridor.Light streams from the windows of Professor Lupine's office.Christo stood in front of the door and knocked on it three times.

"Professor Lupine—"

Nobody paid any attention to her.Christophe patted the door harder, but there was still no movement in the room.Christo suddenly felt a little horrified. Could it be that Professor Lupine is transforming?Hope she still catches up!She took out her wand, said sorry in her heart, opened the door with a spell, and rushed in.

There was no one in the office.

Chris turned around more, but didn't find a single wolf hair.She had no choice but to put the potion on the desk, and at this moment, a roll of parchment under the lamp caught her attention.

She stretched out her hand to flatten the rolled part, and the parchment looked like a map of Hogwarts. The difference was that the name was also marked on the map.

Christo saw that Draco had returned to the dormitory, Professor Snape was still in his office, and her name was marked in Professor Lupine's office at this moment.

Christo was very surprised. She quickly put away the potion, picked up the map and walked out. Her eyes searched for a long time among the names of a large group of people, and finally found Remus John Lupine.He was speeding down the path to Hagrid's cabin at the moment.Chris didn't think too much, and hurriedly followed.

Christo walked around the lake and gradually approached Hagrid's farm. The Hippogriff tied in the vegetable field fell in a pool of blood, and Christo quickly turned her head away.She took out a map to confirm Lupine's whereabouts, and found that his name had been marked near the greenhouse.

Christo couldn't figure out where he was going.She ran away, and finally saw a figure passing by in front of her.

"Professor Lupine!" she shouted, but the figure did not stop.Christo watched helplessly as he walked under a tree, his body gradually became shorter, and finally disappeared.

Christo leaned on a tree trunk and gasped for breath, then trotted forward with somewhat sore legs.She quickly approached the tree, her eyes searching the surrounding bushes.

Suddenly, there was a whoosh sound in the air, and when Christo looked up, she was stunned.She quickly regained her senses and rolled on the spot, dodging the whipped branches.

It turned out to be the Whomping Willow!

Christo looked at the Whomping Willow frantically waving its branches in disbelief, and rubbed her arm with regret.She looked at the map, and Professor Lupine's name did indeed appear near the Whomping Willow. What was even more shocking to her was that not far away, there were five names marked on it.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the murderer Sirius Black.The other she didn't know was Pettigrew? Peter.

Christo clutched the map, frowning.Professor Lupine must have seen Harry here.But why didn't he tell Professor Dumbledore or the other deans?Did he think that he could save Harry and the others from the hands of two gangster wizards?Can he guarantee that he will remain sane during the transformation night and not hurt his students?

A bad premonition arises spontaneously.

Christina couldn't be sure of her thoughts, and anxiously walked around the Whomping Willow round and round.She looked at Hogwarts Castle in the distance at night.If she rushes back now, is there still time?

She made a decisive decision and released her Patronus Charm, letting it speak to Professor McGonagall.The silver bat disappeared through the trees.She put away the map and tried to get close to the Whomping Willow.

Branches slapped the ground constantly, and weeds and mud splashed everywhere.Christo tried hard to recall the situation when Professor Lupine disappeared, observed carefully, and finally found an inconspicuous knot on the tree trunk.She hit it with a spell.

All of a sudden, the Whomping Willow became quiet, and all the thick branches returned to their original positions. Only the leaves were rustling by the night wind, and it couldn't be more quiet.

Christo summoned up her courage and walked forward slowly.

As it got closer, a dark hole appeared at the root of the tree.Christo gritted her teeth and walked forward with her body bent.
