HP Wendy's crossing running account

"Coward...you directly resisted Black...it's none of Alphard's business...he helped you..."

"...why should I be grateful to Walburga's brother...that's what I deserve..."

Wendy was leaning against the outer wall of the broom shed in a daze, and the intermittent quarrels inside filled her ears.The autumn is warm, but the slightest coolness is lingering.

When Alphard was taken to try on clothes at noon, the "Sweeping Four Stars" was placed in the Slytherin common room.The result of Tom's verification with the portrait confirmed his guess: during that time period, only Finn Cook, who was unwell, had entered and left the dormitory.The motivation is also obvious. Retaliation, the behavior of the pure-bloods who framed him for failing to pass the Quidditch selection became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Apart from anger, there may also be jealousy in the blowout of negative emotions.

what is this?Wendy looked blankly at the majestic outer wall of Hogwarts Castle.poor person must have something mean?

The arguing in the broom shed gradually subsided, replaced by the sound of chanting incantations and the "crackling" sound of collapsing debris.Wendy leaned against the vibrating wall and waited until all the sounds disappeared.

The door opened.

To Wendy's surprise, there were two people standing inside.

Cook's hair was disheveled and he looked a bit embarrassed.But it's just a little embarrassing.

Tom sneered, and dragged Wendy away in strides. "We were wrong. You don't need sympathy at all."

The third-year little wizard who was left in place was stunned for a while, until the backs of Tom and Wendy could not be seen clearly, then slowly squatted down, and carefully tidied up the old and new brooms scattered on the floor, neatly Arrange neatly back on the shelf.He does it slowly, as if saying goodbye to a sad time.

The autumn wind blows and blows, bringing the smell of gunpowder smoke.In the era of wars, Finn Cook and his struggle and revenge are like sand grains moaning on the peaceful land.Tom, as he said, no longer paid attention to Cook's affairs.But news about Cook occasionally reached Wendy's ears: Cook had a fight with Flint, Cook cast a curse on Lucretia, and Cook escaped from the siege of the Walburga party. escaped...

Gradually, the little pureblood wizards found it more and more difficult for them to take advantage of the "Mudblood".This "battle of wits and courage" that lasted for two months slowly died down.Cook was still sidelined, still alone, but no one took it out on him or made fun of him anymore.Cook is a very good student of Momo.

"It's said that Cook has changed." Alphard rode the silver arrow to the ground slowly, picked up the water bottle and poured it down his throat under the moonlight, "but I say, he may have just found an opportunity, a better way to deal with it." way of the problem."

Tom waved impatiently. He didn't want to hear the name "Cook".

"He has found a better version of himself," Wendy said with a shallow smile, more confused, "You have also found a better version of yourself."

Alphard smiled brightly. He kicked off the ground and glides under the moonlight on an old school broom.Hair and robes are flying in the wind.Alphard said he would try out for Quidditch next year.

Wendy is having a hard time understanding why a deadly conspiracy can bring about a change for the better.Maybe this is youth, a setback, a fight, a danger, or even a moment of looking at the sun, children will suddenly decide to grow up.

It is very difficult to find outliers in a rapidly changing peer group.Whether it is Wendy or Tom, there is a feeling of being spied on.This feeling gets stronger and stronger as time goes by.They have no way to deceive themselves, Grindelwald's hand has reached into Hogwarts.But where is it hidden?

If you have to be suspicious, everyone seems suspicious, including Nott who always looks envious.

"Miss Carter, the reference book you recommended me to read is absolutely amazing. Who would have thought that by increasing the proportion of several ingredients in the bone-making potion, it could become a kind of diabolism? But I don't understand, why the second-year paper The best one is...Miss Pince?"

Wendy raised her head and swept Nott's face meaningfully: "Because Miss Pince worked very hard and read a lot of books."

Whether you're hinting at me or not, I'll just pretend I don't understand.

The moody adolescent Mr. Riddle has recently taken a liking to the straight-forward approach. "For no reason, why did you pay attention to Ravenclaw's second-year senior sister?" After finishing speaking, he stared suspiciously at Nott's face unceremoniously.

The little boy smiled shyly, looking very innocent: "I'm not paying attention to her, I'm paying attention to... Miss Carter. From the beginning, I thought that Miss Carter, like Mr. Riddle, was a very powerful wizard, especially in academics. But I heard that Miss Pince's paper is better than Miss Carter's, so..."

Wendy raised her head from the book and smiled politely: "Curious about Miss Pince?"

Encouraged, Nott nodded furiously: "Besides, I heard that she didn't excel at anything in the first grade. If it's because of hard work, it doesn't make sense to improve by leaps and bounds after a summer vacation."

Tom and Wendy glanced at each other quickly.Wendy raised her chin, you go.Tom understood, folded his arms immediately, and said in a very frivolous tone: "How is the wind blowing today? Isn't this kind of inquiring and curious things like Malcolm's specialty?"

Nott touched his nose shyly.

Tom reached out and flicked on his forehead: "You want to say 'what adventure did she have'? If you want to know, go check it out. I'll help you out, but you can't get out of danger."

Wendy closed the book calmly.It's been two months, and I can't grasp any clues. It's almost time to take the initiative.Regardless of whether Nott is the person opposite, or whether Pince has any problems, this is a good opportunity to make use of it.

She has been paying attention to Pince for a long time.She has a secret that almost everyone knows.Since the beginning of school, she has been eccentric, rustling in the curtain all day without knowing what she is doing, her temper is getting worse and worse, and she always suspects that others are going to invade her privacy.

After Rolanda and Fancourt questioned her a few times, she carried a small box and hid in the empty classroom.

"It's a review, who knows what it is for? Is the review so mysterious?" As soon as Wendy returned to the dormitory, her little friend Roland Dara bit her ear.Across the room, Miss Fancourt sat on the bed sulking, rubbing her fingers nervously on a silver amulet.

"Are the two of them fighting again?"

Rolanda nodded: "Fan Court said that Ping Si placed the mirror in an unlucky position, and Ping Si became very angry... Finally, she went out with her treasure box."

Wendy gossiped: "The box she was playing with on the bed before was also that box. Do you know what's in the box?"

"Hey," Rolanda leaned over and rubbed Wendy's body, "I'm curious too. Fancourt said that she happened to see it, and it seemed to be a statue—"

"She worships evil gods, trying to obtain wisdom through abnormal means." Fancourt's ethereal voice suddenly sounded, startling both Wendy and Rolanda, "This is what the Tarot cards told me."

Rolanda shrugged: "But I don't think this statement is necessarily credible."

If it is not credible, it needs to be verified.

The plan conceived by Nott, a first-year wizard, is quite simple and crude, and it's just a bag-dropping scheme.Under the banner of Tom, he persuaded Lestrange and Avery to act as thugs.First, the tall and burly Lestrange rammed Pince in the corridor, and then let the short and nimble Avery take advantage of the chaos and swap Pince's box with the counterfeit he had prepared in advance.Tom kindly sponsored a cloth bag with a traceless stretching spell to hide the box.

"I've been observing her for several days. She likes to stay in the empty classroom on the second basement floor, no matter which one it is. Occasionally, she also goes to the basement floor." Nott shook his big head enthusiastically, "The underground one The empty classroom was cold and damp, and even young couples who were secretly dating didn't like to go there. We blocked her in the corridor on the second basement floor, one by one. It happened that the entrance to the Slytherin common room was also underground, and we It doesn't look obtrusive if you go around a little bit farther."

Wendy didn't watch the farce happening in the corridor.She waited in the Potions classroom for about 10 minutes, and Tom and his party came in with the spoils.

A small wooden box about fifty centimeters long, of simple workmanship, and some years old.

"You're her roommate. Did she have this box in first grade?" Tom asked.

Wendy shook her head.She was next to Pince's bunk, and there was no way a box of that size could hide.

The box was locked, but not against an "alahoo hole."The lid was carefully opened.Both Nott and Alphard held their wands and waited for them, for fear that a black magic creature would suddenly run out of it.Lestrange and Avery were standing by the door, ready to run away at any time.

One second, two seconds... Ten seconds passed, and nothing happened quietly.

Tom let go of the lid with a "slam", let it open naturally, and waved to Wendy.

Wendy immediately walked to Tom's side without hesitation.The small wooden box that was opened showed its true colors.This is a large dressing box, the mirror on the lid has not been removed.But the partitions and drawers in the box were removed, and on the soft lining lay a white bust of a woman, just like a plaster figure used for sketching.

The little wizards of Slytherin surrounded him.

"The material is marble, eh, there are gemstones embedded in it, it looks very valuable."

"I have many statues of this kind at home, so there's nothing unusual about them."

Alphard was more sober than most people, and immediately used the "Dark Demon Appearance" spell to test black magic items, and a white smoke symbolizing safety rose from the statue.

Tom reached out and turned the statue half a circle so that it was facing up.

Wendy gasped.

Just as Tom was about to ask Wendy if she had discovered anything, he heard the sound of the door closing with a "bang".Wendy shuddered and closed the box.

"There is someone outside the door!"

Avery ran to the door quickly. The good news was that the door was not locked, but he was still taken aback when he opened it——

The tall Ravenclaw ghost hovered there quietly.

"You shouldn't do such pranks." The ethereal female voice came from above, with the taste of looking down on all living beings.

"You too, honorable Gray Lady, it's rare to see you appearing underground."

Gray Lady's icy eyes swept over everyone present, and then disappeared through the wall without a sound.

The room was dead silent.

Wendy was the first to break the silence: "Return the box. It should be discovered any later."

She really felt like a saint.The bust in the box is that of Rowena Ravenclaw, and the crown on the statue's head seems to be removable.Ravenclaw's crown, wearing it can gain infinite wisdom.But so what?Pince got it, it was her chance.It's not that she doesn't envy her, but she can't do such a thing as robbery.

And, now there is an even more serious problem.Ghosts can't close the door, so who is that person who is peeping at them outside the door?
