Della Bush's Love Story

"No! I'm not going back!" Dick protested.

"You have to go back. Those under the fourth grade cannot attend the Yule Ball. It's useless for you to stay here." Della said.

"You and Hans can stay! I'll stay too!" said Dick.

"Don't you miss Papa, Mama and Hannah?" Della said intentionally, "I won't be home for Christmas this year, you can have three Christmas cakes for yourself, as well as chocolate, sugar, pudding and ice cream made by mother at home ..."

Dick swallowed, his heart began to flutter, but he finally resisted the temptation and was determined to stay for Christmas.

Della had no choice but to let him stay: "Okay, then you can write a letter and tell your mother that you are not coming home. Don't let me laugh at you for writing a letter with typos in second grade, bald."

Dick wanted to stick his tongue out, but the last time he stuck it out, Della saw him and nicknamed him "Green Toad," which was what all the boys in his grade called him, and even the older ones started to called.

He gave up the habit of sticking out his tongue completely.

Della returned to the lounge and saw Hermione buried in the pile of books again, Harry was playing wizard chess with Ron on the side, the girls around were exchanging all the information about the prom, and some boys gathered together They commented on the girls together, and some even hugged each other to practice the waltz.

Fred and George disappeared again.

"I'd really like to know where they're experimenting," Della muttered.

Hermione rarely looked up from the book, hesitated, "Maybe I can help you."

She went to talk to Harry, and Harry took out a roll of parchment from his schoolbag and gave it to her. Ron widened his eyes and let out a hey, but he didn't stop him.

Hermione pulled her to sit in the corner of the lounge, and there was a strange brass sculpture in front of them.

Hermione spread the parchment across her lap, and there was nothing on it.

She held up her wand, pointed at it, and said in a very low voice, "I solemnly swear that I will do no good."

The tip of the wand tapped lightly on the parchment, and the ink stains emerged from the parchment as if they were alive, and gradually extended to the entire parchment.

Take a closer look, there are maze-like drawings on it, marking the names of every corner in the castle, and some small names like ants are slowly moving.

Della groaned and covered her mouth.

She remembered!This is an artifact in Harry's hands!Call it a living map!

She pretended to ask: "What map is this?" Hermione: "The Marauder's Map."

Della: "...oh."

Forgot the name.

Hermione: "It can see the whole castle. Let's find Fred now."

The two of them lay down on the map and carefully searched for each name.

Della saw Professor McGonagall. She was in the Transfiguration classroom. There were two other students there, both from Slytherin. It seemed that they were working after punishment.

Professor Snape was in the Potions classroom, so he must be making potions.

There are two people in Principal Dumbledore's office, one is Principal Dumbledore, and the other is Alastor Moody, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Della had never seen anything so magical.While everything in her life is full of magic, nothing is as magical as this map.

She had long forgotten her boyfriend, and was only interested in seeing who was on the map.

She saw her own name, Della Bush and Hermione Granger's names were very close together.

Dick Bush's name was with the names of three other boys, they must be playing some game.

Hans Bush's name is with a girl named Paige!

This must be his girlfriend!

She also saw the French witch, Fleur Delacour, whose name was with Cedric.

She showed Hermione right away.

Hermione wrinkled her nose and said, "I heard she's after Cedric. Good eyesight, Cedric is the most handsome boy in Hogwarts, and he's a warrior now."

"It's autumn for Cedric." Della snapped.

Hermione: "She doesn't really care about that, does she?"

The two girls scoffed at this and continued to look for someone.

Della couldn't help but look towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and she saw a bunch of girls' names crowded by the lake in the Forbidden Forest in the atrium.

"They're not afraid of the cold. It's still snowing outside."

Della said.

Hermione glanced at the location and said, "You were on it before—are you really looking for Fred?" Della couldn't help admitting, "This map is so much fun!"

Hermione smiled and started exploring the map with her head to head.

As for the boyfriend?

Oh, let's talk about it later!

Passages could be seen in places on the map, but Della remembered that when she passed, there were clearly walls.

"That's the secret passage." Hermione said, "It is said that Hogwarts has many secret passages."

Della sighed: "An old castle...maybe the oldest in the whole of England!"

This map has it all.

Della sees Ludo Bagman, the Minister of Sports who cheated Fred of his money.

Fred said they had given up on seeking debt from the Minister of Sports.

"With that skill, I might as well make a few more plates of canary biscuits," he said.

She couldn't resist telling Hermione the secret.She thought Hermione wouldn't believe it, but she wrinkled her nose and said, "These politicians!" Seeing her eyes, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I read too much in the newspapers, and ministers are always caught in various In a scandal, gambling and prostitution alone can destroy [-]% of the ministers in the British Parliament."

But Hermione felt strange again, "But, why is Ludo Bagman still in school? Hasn't he already gone back?"

Della: "I thought he was there all the time."

Hermione shook her head: "No, I remember it very clearly. He went back after the game, and he won't come until the second game."

The two looked at each other.

Hermione finally said, "Maybe he's coming to see the Headmaster again?"

"...Probably." Della held the map, "Can I borrow it?" Hermione nodded, "Of course. Don't tell anyone."

She got up and left, and continued to read her book.

Della thought for a while, stuffed the map into her arms, and crawled out of the hole in the lounge.

She remembered that there seemed to be a Ministry of Magic official who did a lot of bad things, very vicious, very bad.He also kicked Fred and George out of school.

...that is, she remembered that it was a female official.

But when Ludo Bagman appeared, she suspected that she had misremembered again.

Maybe this was the guy who kicked Fred and George out of school because they owed them money.

Of course she couldn't let this happen!

Moreover, this official is a spy!

Just now she and Hermione found out that this man had reappeared at Hogwarts for some reason.

Anyway, she wanted to take this map to Headmaster Dumbledore, maybe she could do something.

In the principal's office, Dumbledore said to Moody: "No, Karkaroff is a coward. He broke away from the ranks of Death Eaters almost immediately. He wouldn't be bold if he didn't have more certainty." Came here to kill Harry."

Moody: "That's Snape, I've never been able to trust him."

Dumbledore shook his head: "No. We need to look again."

There was a sudden knock on the door,

The two exchanged glances and fell silent.

Dumbledore glanced at the portraits inquiringly, and a portrait by the door said, "It's a student. Della Bush of Gryffindor."

Moody said annoyedly, "Don't talk about breaking up with your boyfriend!"

Dumbledore shook his head and asked him to go to the inner room first.

The door opened and Della walked in.

Headmaster Dumbledore, behind the desk, nodded to her and asked her to sit down.

"Della, why don't you warm up in the lounge at this time? Is there anything embarrassing?" Principal Dumbledore asked.

Della had come in for the third time, but she was no more composed than the previous two times.

She nervously took out the parchment from her bosom, and spread it in front of Headmaster Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked closer, amazed, "Oh, it's... wonderful!"

He couldn't help picking it up to watch, "It's very wonderful, very magical."

He put it back and asked her with a smile: "You must have found something to come to me, didn't you?"

Della wanted to hide Fred and George's involvement in gambling, but if she didn't say this, she couldn't question Ludo Bagman's personality.

She had no choice but to point to the location where Buckman was found just now. Of course, he is not here now.

"Mr. Principal, this map can show all the people in this school. I saw Mr. Ludo Bagman here just now." She said, "But I heard from Hermione that he should have gone back long ago."

"Ludo Bagman." Dumbledore straightened up, wiped his crystal lens, stared at that position again, and then looked around along there.

"My friend, he was once cheated. He is a very disgusting villain!" Della couldn't bear the thought of this person cheating Fred of their money!How can there be such a shameless person?He even cheated the child of his money!

"Yes. Ludo Bagman, gullible..." Dumbledore murmured.

He straightened up, put the map in his hands, and said to Della, "I'm afraid I'll have to borrow it for a while, Miss Bush."

Della also stood up quickly, "Oh, this is not mine..."

"I know. I'll return Harry when I'm done." Dumbledore nodded at her, and sent her to the door. "You're a very perceptive little girl. Do you sense anything? Danger? Makes you terrified." nervous?"

Dumbledore's gaze seemed penetrating.

Della tensed, and her deepest fears were brought to the fore.

She held hands tightly, unable to speak, for a long time, she nodded slowly.

...She wasn't sure that she could really save Fred in the end.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Don't worry. Lovely girl. You will choose your companions, and your companions will help you."

Della: "Companion?"

Dumbledore patted her on the shoulder, "Yes." He seemed to be joking, "You chose me, didn't you? I will be your most powerful companion."
