[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Draco reluctantly walked towards the store.

Christo and Ernie chatted with Harry under the umbrella.Not long after, Draco came back with three boxes of ice cream with an unhappy expression on his face. "We still have something to do, see you at school, Harry." The McMillan brothers and sisters said goodbye to Harry immediately, and Harry looked at Draco with an unnatural expression.Christo had already turned around and happily picked out the lemon flavor she liked.

"I'm regretting that I forgot to tell you what I want to eat?" Christo said, scooping up half a spoonful of ice cream and putting it in her mouth.

Ernie took a copy from Draco too.The three of them talked and laughed along the shadow of the street and walked deep into the alley.Looking at their leaving backs, Ha felt uncomfortable.Thinking of the fact that Crystal and Malfoy often learn potions together at Snape's place, although the relationship between the two is not close, it is definitely not as incompatible as that between them and Malfoy, so I can only sit back in annoyance. Continue to do homework in the seat, only looking forward to when Ron and Hermione will come to Diagon Alley...

The three of them wandered around Diagon Alley until four or five in the afternoon before separating.Seeing Draco turn away, Ernie asked, "What's the matter with you and them?"

Christo looked at her brother in surprise: "What's going on?"

When Ernie saw Chris's dazed look, he cautiously asked, "I thought you would be on Harry's side."

Christo couldn't help but smile: "Obviously I met Draco first, how could I have the nerve to leave Harry alone. Harry doesn't want to see him, but he is my friend."

Ernie was still depressed, why didn't he know when his sister became friends with the arrogant and domineering Malfoy.Seeing her brother frowning, Christo felt very happy, humming a little tune, and walked home, but ignored him.

Where does my brother know about a bunch of things that happened after Christmas last year.After she thought about the Chamber of Secrets, she and Draco were chatting in the cubicle of Professor Snape's office. Draco looked shocked, only to call her a stupid lion with a stern face.Chris was so arrogant, she was unhappy at the time, but Draco said, in that case, you should agree to him first, and there will be no loss of meat anyway, and then take the opportunity to do it.Christo calmed down and thought about it carefully, she was indeed too impulsive at that time.If he pretended to promise at that time, he would not have given Voldemort a few more hours to recover his strength for no reason, and in the end he had to drink the failed bottle of Felicia.

After all, she agreed more with Draco's ways.Of course, he still scoffed at Draco's tricks against Harry.

In a blink of an eye, the day of school will arrive.This year, Christo stayed with her brother.They came late, so they had to go to the back few carriages. Fortunately, they found two connected positions.Not long after the train started, many girls heard that Christo was sitting here, and came to inquire about Lockhart's situation.

When Christ said that Lockhart was still in the hospital, many people were disappointed.After a while, news spread throughout the train, and many people were discussing who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was.Christo thought that if Lockhart knew about this, he must be more and more elated, and made up his mind to write to him tonight to tell him that everyone was looking forward to the new professor.She never expected that within an hour, a girl would come and ask her to send a letter.Christo looked at more and more pink envelopes in her arms, feeling depressed for a moment, and simply turned her back to everyone, lying on a pile of letters and pretending to fall asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the train suddenly shook, the chandelier in the carriage flickered and then went out, and the entire carriage was darkened.Christo just felt a chill creeping into her cuffs.

"It's okay." Ernie shook her hand reassuringly.She looked up and could only see the silhouettes of moving figures.There were screams one after another in the carriage, as if someone had unfortunately fallen in the dark.

The girl sitting opposite Christo asked tremblingly, "What happened?"

There was a layer of mist on the glass window, Kristo wiped away a piece, and looked outside. "Looks like there's a lot of people walking around," she said to Ernie.

"Hey, why did the door open?" Someone exclaimed. "Ah—" A group of people screamed and squeezed in, and the whole carriage seemed to explode for a while.

Christo and Ernie were sitting at the door. They turned their heads quickly at this moment, and were taken aback for a moment. There was a guy wrapped in a cloak standing at the door, with a fluorescent gray, thin, scabbed hand It slowly stretched out from the cloak.It took a deep breath, and the surrounding air suddenly dropped several degrees, and Christo felt that her heart and lungs were frozen.

This is a genuine dementor, and this is the only thought in Christo's mind. Sitting on the seat, she couldn't help but feel weak and her limbs trembled.Happy things... happy things... She repeated it over and over again, but felt that the fog in front of her eyes was getting heavier, and there seemed to be vague screams coming from afar...

"Kerry—" Ernie growled.

Christo's heart was shocked, and she quickly came back to her senses.Ernie had his arms around her, one hand rummaging through his wand in his carry-on backpack.Christo took off the magic wand that bound her hair, turned around, and shouted without delay: "Guardian!" A silver light pierced the darkness and headed for the door, and the dementor immediately withdrew his hand. , slipped out the door.

The originally silent crowd gasped suddenly, and many people looked over here.

Christo quickly bowed her head, pulled her brother back to the seat, and frantically wrapped the magic wand into the hair bundle. "Brother, what is that? It's so beautiful!" Her voice was innocent. Ernie couldn't understand her thoughts. Christo must have been terrified by the group of people just now.He quickly responded, "I—I don't know either." There were many students in the carriages standing in the aisle, and Christo directly pulled one of them, and asked, "Did you just recite the spell?"

The man quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it's not me!"

Not long after, the lights in the carriage came back on.The people in the carriage were all pale and trembling, looking around and whispering, not sure if they were discussing how scary the creature was just now, or guessing who solved the urgent need just now.Seeing that Christo was sweating profusely, Ernie quickly took a tissue to wipe her off, and then unpacked a bag of chocolates and handed them to her.

"Are you all right?" He frowned and asked in a low voice, slipping his wand into his trouser pocket.

"It's all right." Christo couldn't help laughing as she looked at the wand protruding from it, "You're not afraid of losing the wand."

Ernie, on the other hand, had a serious face: "If I had just had the wand by my side, I wouldn't have let Keli be frightened."

Seeing the remorse on his face, Chris had no choice but to hold back her smile.

Soon there were prefects pushing a trolley to distribute chocolates to the students.Gradually, the noise in the carriage began to rise again.

"Ernie—Kerry—" someone suddenly shouted at the junction of the carriages.The McMillan brothers and sisters looked up and saw that it was Cedric.

"It's okay, before we came to school, Dad taught us the Patronus Charm!" Christo flaunted softly.

"It turns out that the one who hid in the dark and recited the profound spell is you, Keli." Cedric held back a smile, "You don't know what happened in the front car, suddenly a colorful rainbow appeared in the dark car. The light pierced towards the dementor's chest, exploding countless golden lights in an instant..."

Christo burst out laughing: "It's so amazing!"

Her voice was clear and loud, and the girl opposite her suddenly clapped her hands and shouted, "It really is you!"

Christo looked at her in astonishment, and before she had time to defend herself, the girl turned around excitedly and told her companion: "It's that McMillan of Gryffindor, I saw her flashing light then." .”

For a moment, the pair of shining eyes in the carriage made Christo overwhelmed, and she tried her best to shrink behind Ernie.Reluctantly, the girl opposite her grabbed her wrist as soon as she stretched out her hand: "McMillan, I want to learn that spell, please teach me!"

Christo didn't even know how she got to the lobby. Since getting on the train in the morning, the three sentences she heard most were——

Is Professor Lockhart recovering?

Could you bring me a letter to Professor Lockhart?

Teach me that spell!

After finally sitting down at the long table, Professor Snape called her to the office again and handed her a new bottle of potion. When she returned to the hall, the sorting ceremony was almost over.Christo sneaked to the long table in Gryffindor, Ginny waved at her, and she hurried over.

"What about Hermione and the others?" Christo looked around for a moment and asked.

Ginny was still a little uneasy at the moment: "They were called away by Professor McGonagall." After a while, she said worriedly: "Harry fainted from the dementor." Christo patted The back of her hand, when I looked at her again, I found that her eye circles were red again.

"Don't worry." Besides that, she didn't know what to say.After the sorting ceremony, Professor Dumbledore spoke.The first thing is to inform everyone that in order to hunt down fugitives, the Ministry of Magic has arranged for a number of dementors to be stationed at all entrances to the school.For a while, people in the hall were panicked, and even Dumbledore's introduction of the new professor failed to divert everyone's attention.

The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Lupine. Christo looked at Professor Snape, seeing him with a gloomy face, so she secretly thought that it was not good. She remembered the Potter foursome that Gildero told her There is a man named Lupin, who seems to be their new professor.

The other new professor is Hagrid, who took the class of Professor Bourne in the Protection of Magical Creatures class.
