[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

There was only one class this afternoon. After class, Camelia went to the library. She sat there and read a book for a while, and then took a nap on the table. In such a short time, she made a Dream, she dreamed of the past...

After walking out of the second greenhouse and making sure that no one was following them, Cedric said, "Thank you, otherwise I don't know what to do. I'll ask you for the next Hogsmeade week." Have a butterbeer."

Camelia was taken aback when she heard this, and then she waved her hand and refused, "No, it's just a trivial matter."

"Who said it was a trivial matter, but you did me a great favor, so naturally you should thank me, so don't be polite to me."

His smile made Camelia feel a little dazed, she lowered her head slightly but happened to catch a glimpse of the gleaming prefect badge on his chest, just as its owner was so dazzling that people couldn't look directly at it.

Soon she moved her eyes away from him calmly, looked straight ahead, and said lazily: "If you really want to thank me, then please invite this Hufflepuff prefect to come to you next time you meet him." When it comes time for me to travel at night, hold your hand high and let me go."

In fact, she is afraid of the dark, and the frequency of night travel is not high, either because she sometimes spends time in the library after dinner, reading too much, forgetting the time of night ban, or because she wants to observe the whole picture of a meteor shower more clearly. During the process, she ran to the Astronomy Tower without hesitation, but it happened that she would meet Cedric every time she went on a night tour. In fact, strictly speaking, it was not a coincidence, but she deliberately remembered his night tour route.

Although Cedric would give her a warning every time, so that she couldn't do this next time, but when they met next time, they would always be lenient.

"Dear Miss Shafik, please tell me, which time I didn't let you go?" Cedric turned to look at her and smiled, "However, maybe next semester we can watch the night together."

"I'm not good enough to be a prefect." Camelia said, she knew very well that if she became a Ravenclaw prefect, those girls would not be convinced.

After hearing this, Cedric said that she was too modest, and said that he was very optimistic about her, and believed that she would be elected as the superior, and then he said: "I thought that today is such a special day, it shouldn't be This happened. At first I really thought she was just...just joking with me, and to this day I'm still wondering if it was a joke or not."

It is indeed not a very wise thing to choose April Fool's Day to confess to the person you have a crush on, but I have to say that the girl is ingenious, squatting in the second greenhouse, and will be alone in the group of Seth who is teaching Splitter to take care of plants. Derek stopped him, playing with the unwritten rules of April Fool's Day, and said all kinds of hateful words to Cedric at the beginning, but it's a pity that these moves are against Cedric, who has always been dumb in this respect. Said it had no effect.

It wasn't until he heard that the other party had to explain it again, that what he said on April Fool's Day had to be interpreted backwards, did Cedric dully realize that there was something wrong.

At that time, Camelia just happened to be instructed by Professor Split to come and get some bubble pods, and it was so unfortunate that she ran into this epic scene. The resentment in the girl's eyes did not catch Kamelia. What's wrong with Miria, but it was Cedric's help-seeking eyes that seemed to see a savior hotter than ever, which startled her, and she did not live up to his expectations and rescued him from this embarrassing situation out.

"Maybe it's because of this kind of mentality, thinking that even if you reject it, it will still make a deep impression on you, and it will be worth it." Camelia helped Cedric guess Think about that girl.

"It's true...at least I won't forget her these days." Cedric smiled helplessly, "But I've always been curious about what amazing things I did, why they always interested in me?"

If there is a mirror near them now, Camelia will definitely push Cedric in front of the mirror without hesitation, let him take a good look at himself in the mirror before speaking. This question is not worth his troubles at all, because the answer is Obvious.

"If it's just for my face, I don't understand what's the point of liking like this." Cedric said thoughtfully.

"So can I understand that you like ugly girls?" She deliberately joked, but she knew in her heart that Biqiu Zhang was not an ugly girl.

"Oh, I can't say that anymore, but I think liking someone shouldn't be so superficial. Appearance is more of a icing on the cake. Personally, I still prefer spiritual compatibility."

The so-called spiritual compatibility means that they all like to play Quidditch. Thinking of this, Camelia suddenly felt a bitter taste in her mouth, and she stopped at the same time.

Cedric, who didn't notice the people beside him stopped, still strode forward, but after he walked a few steps, he noticed the abnormality and stopped immediately, but he was born tall, and his straight long legs took a step, although it was only A few steps are enough to create a long distance between the two.

At the moment when he turned around, Camelia suddenly made up her mind to tell him the secret that had been buried in her heart for a long time, the secret that only she knew in this world, even though she already knew that she would never say it or not. It made no sense, because he didn't have her in his heart at all, and his heart belonged to other people long ago.But she still wanted to express her heart before he completely belonged to that lucky girl. She was terrified that if she didn't say it now, this secret would be in her heart together with her heart in the future. Stinks and rots and never sees the light of day, so just be brave for a little while.

At that moment, there were mixed feelings in her heart, and her throat was so dry and sore. For the first time, Camelia found it so difficult to speak, but she knew that she had to say it, otherwise she would regret it later. of.

So she clenched her fists tightly, her nails stuck into the flesh of her palms, pinching out red marks, and she forced herself to say: "Sed, there is actually something that I have always wanted to tell you."

He smiled and nodded for her to continue.

"I like you."

This sentence is not decorated with any gorgeous rhetoric. It is probably the most bland and direct confession in the world, but it is this sentence that has been pressing on her chest, making her breathless and difficult. She opened her mouth, and now she was relieved, she could finally face him calmly, look directly at her feelings for him, and have such a moment of relaxation.

As expected, Cedric's face was full of disbelief, but he was different from his usual decisiveness when facing other suitors. He looked extremely flustered and opened his mouth several times to say something. But he always hesitated to speak, Camelia knew what he was hesitating, what he was afraid of, he was hesitating what to do to give each other a face, maybe he was racking his brains thinking about how to keep this friendship , but there is no doubt that he was afraid, afraid of breaking her heart.

In fact, for Camelia, Cedric does not need to take care of her so carefully and care about her feelings at all. Life has brought her too many disappointments, and she is forced to choose to face these misfortunes and let go of those disappointments. In the movie, she also accepted that the goddess of luck would never come to take care of her, so she didn't have any hope at first, thinking that it would be good if he could tell the truth, maybe then she would give up more thoroughly.

But her heart is still too soft after all, and she can't even bear to see the person she likes feel a little embarrassed because of her affairs.

So Camelia finally chose to forcefully smile and pat him on the shoulder pretending to be natural before he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, happy April Fool's Day, you are really easy to deceive. Don't be nervous, how could I like it?" And you, the boy I like is in France."

Good thing it was April Fools' Day.

When Camelia woke up from her sleep, she found that she had a coat on her body at some point. She straightened up and saw that Cedric was sitting beside her, and the other party was concentrating on reading a book. He put down the book in his hand, leaned over and said softly, "If you feel tired, you can sleep a little longer. When it's time to eat, I will wake you up."

The two of them were so close now that Camelia felt she could count how many eyelashes Cedric had if given her time, so she shrank back uncomfortably, Unexpectedly, Cedric put his arms around her waist and brought him to his side. As a result, they got closer, and Camelia felt her cheeks burning hot.

Even Cedric's face was flushed a little, but he didn't let go of his hand, turned his face away and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just afraid that if you move any more, you will fall off the chair."

Most of the chairs in this area are benches that can sit many people at the same time. There are no backs and armrests. Sometimes it is indeed funny that some people accidentally fall off the chairs due to excessive stretching. , so Cedric's worry is still justified, but for some reason after his explanation, the atmosphere became more strange, and Camelia lowered her head and responded to him indiscriminately.

At this time, Iris and Ian rushed to them, and each of them grabbed one of them and was about to go out, saying that they were going to check the newly posted announcements in the hall outside.

There was a circle of people around the bulletin board, and they came to see that the school was preparing to open a duel club. The first meeting was tonight, and many people were very excited about it.

Cedric glanced at the notice, then turned to ask Camelia.

"You going?"

Camelia knew that Lockhart was in charge of the dueling club, and she also knew what "wonderful performances" the professor would have in the dueling club, so she didn't have any expectations about it, it was very reluctant She pulled out a smile and said: "If April is going, I think I will go too."

Cedric nodded, turned to look at the notice again, and said something strange, "I hope she will be interested in dueling."

After dinner, Camelia went directly back to the lounge, and sat for a while, and April came back. As soon as she put down her schoolbag, she said to Camelia: "Later, let's go to the auditorium to see .”

So at [-] o'clock in the evening, they rushed back to the auditorium, the long dining table was gone, replaced by a stage that shone against the wall, thousands of candles were lit on it, the ceiling was dark purple, and the faces of the students watching under the stage were full of excitement , They all had their wands ready and were chattering about who would guide them, but Lockhart's appearance later disappointed many people.

After Lockhart came to power, he made a lot of long speeches, but he was still the same. He was all praising himself in these speeches, and he didn't mention the dueling rules and techniques that everyone cared about until the end. Then he invited Snape to the stage to introduce to everyone that he was his assistant. During the whole process, Snape kept a gloomy face, making everyone in the audience break into a cold sweat for Lockhart, for fear that he would say more In a word, Snape was afraid that he would pull out his wand and kill him.

Afterwards, there is free practice time. Since neither Camelia nor April wanted to bother to find another partner, they were planning to follow the principle of proximity. In addition, it was the most sensible and safe choice to team up with their own people, because both sides They all know how to measure, and they will not mess around at all.But Marietta Eck would definitely come over to have a duel with Camelia at this time, and she said with great confidence that she would be able to resolve the duel within 2 minutes.

Camelia didn't care who she was dueling with, she agreed without even thinking about it, rolled up her sleeves, and happily took out her wand to prepare for a duel with her old enemy, but April on the side behaved better than herself. She still had to worry about going to a duel, she didn't find another partner, and silently retreated to the side.

When she counted to "two", Marietta had already made her move ahead of time, and she saw a flash of light from her wand shooting straight towards Camelia's direction. Such decisiveness seemed to be premeditated. Seeing Camelia didn't have time to dodge, April rushed up from the side and pushed her away, the last flash of light hit April's arm, her sleeve was burnt by the fluorescent light, leaving a big hole, exposing her body. There was also an obvious scratch on his arm.

After April was pushed away, Camelia just staggered, and immediately pointed her wand at Marietta. Following a spell, a silver light shot at Marietta, and she was caught off guard before she could be proud. After the silver light hit, it bounced up like a rubber ball. At the same time, her body began to expand, but after only a while in the air, due to gravity, she fell on the ground like an apple falling from a tree. It hit the ground with a loud noise.

Marietta managed to stand up again, and the first thing she did after standing up was to limp up to Camelia and April, angrily accusing them of cheating, saying that they should bully more and less It's not ridiculous, but April is not as talkative as Camila. She brought up the fact that Marietta violated the rules and launched a sneak attack first. If they are despicable, they really need to ask her a lot of advice. Marietta is unreasonable. Ta couldn't stand up at all, and couldn't think of any fallacies in a short time, so he had to walk away in despair.

Because of this, Camelia felt guilty towards April, and immediately took out a veil and bandaged April. The bleeding stopped temporarily, but she was still not at ease, and was thinking about persuading April Li went back to get some medicine first, but at this time Lockhart returned to the stage again and asked everyone to stop practicing immediately. Then he and Snape each picked a student to come on stage and asked them to perform a real performance for everyone. duel.

Lockhart picked Harry Potter, and Snape picked Potter's old enemy, Draco Malfoy, as if on purpose.

Before the duel between Potter and Malfoy, the two professors expressed that they would give them a demonstration. What was unprecedented was that when Lockhart proposed to do a demonstration, Snape had a smile on his face. It seemed that he couldn't wait to do it. Tried it out with Lockhart.

Then everyone saw Lockhart standing on the stage waving his wand left and right. It seemed that he originally wanted to conjure complicated tricks, but he never thought that he couldn't even hold his wand firmly. His wand fell to the ground in a most uncoordinated manner.

Amidst the roar of laughter, Lockhart picked up his wand and said, "Oops, my wand is a little overexcited."

April clutched the injured arm, and still did not forget to sneer, "It takes so much to dance the wand, why doesn't he just do it for Potter."

Camelia is more concerned about April's wounds, and is not at all interested in Lockhart's embarrassment and what is about to happen on the stage.

Firstly, everyone has already seen many jokes made by Lockhart, and secondly, Potter and Malfoy often find various excuses to confront each other on weekdays, not to mention that everyone just watched a gran The Quidditch match between Findo and Slytherin, but that game was worthless, because Malfoy, who had undergone special training in the team, still failed to beat Potter, and Slytherin's captain Marcus Flynn was so angry Te yelled at the new Seeker right after the game was over, because the Snitch had been flying around under Malfoy's nose, but the kid didn't see it, but the captain When he was scolding vigorously, he probably couldn't remember who sponsored the new broom that he and his team members had.

The Quidditch match also made Lockhart's reputation worse among the students, especially on the Gryffindor side, for the "beloved" professor left their excellent Seeker All the bones in his arm were gone, and he had to grow them all over again.

Originally, everyone had long complained about Lockhart's teaching methods and classroom content. In addition, the famous elf disaster incident was widely circulated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Seeing his true face clearly, they are no longer interested in him. Only a small number of girls are still obsessed with his smile, and now most of the remaining students are more likely to exercise their willpower and continue to go black. Defense of magic class, of course, many professors can't understand Lockhart's style, it's just because of the unwritten cognition that teachers who teach this class will not be competent for more than one year without exception, which leads to the unity of teachers and students in the school. The idea is that the big deal is just a year of hard work.

Perhaps in order to make up for those mistakes and restore his reputation, Lockhart unscrupulously applied to Dumbledore to open this fighting club, but he, who can only put on airs, did not last long after the opening , and was defeated by Snape's wand, whom he called his assistant, in embarrassment, and made himself a big joke.But he has a miraculous ability, as long as he doesn't feel embarrassed, he can always find a way to step down for himself in such a situation.

Amidst the roar of laughter, Potter and Malfoy entered the stage. At this time, Cedric and his two friends came to find Camelia and April. and April, and then she insisted on holding the hands of the two, while leaning intimately on April and discussing with her who would win.

"Of course it's Potter, he's the Boy Who Lived." Ian leaned out from April's side and said to Iris who was standing in the middle.

Iris said: "Although I am also optimistic about Potter, it is not certain. Snape will definitely teach Malfoy some powerful spells, and Lockhart will know nothing at first sight."

Many people around them were also discussing this matter in low voices. Cedric stood beside Camelia without saying a word. Perhaps it was affected by the atmosphere, and it seemed that it was not good to say nothing at this time.

So Cedric bent down and whispered to Camelia.

"What do you think? Who will win?"

"Potter will win."

"Why do you think so?"

"intuition."

Camelia raised her head and smiled at him. Cedric's heart skipped a beat when he saw this smile, but before he could say anything, the crowd around him began to commotion.

Because Malfoy and Potter had just finished their first duel, and it was indeed Potter who had the upper hand. Seeing Malfoy fell to the ground in embarrassment, Snape felt that Slytherin had lost face and dragged Malfoy away. In the past, he exhorted with a serious expression.It was under Snape's guidance that Malfoy conjured a snake out of thin air at the beginning of the second scene.

But he didn't feel complacent for long, because Harry Potter acted extraordinarily calm, and then a creepy sound came out of his mouth, he seemed to be communicating with the snake, and at this time his expression It looked like it was urging the snake to attack a Hufflepuff student who was not far from him in the audience...

The day after the duel, the snow that had started falling overnight turned into a violent blizzard, while the whole school was chatting about what happened at the duel club last night, reviving the two attacks that had been fading away a while ago Only one night has passed, and rumors are flying all over the sky. Most people have already determined that Harry Potter is the heir who opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, because Slytherin himself has a Parseltongue, and Potter can speak Parseltongue Undoubtedly his identity was exposed.

The last Defense Against the Dark Arts class of this semester was supposed to be today, but Camelia still chose to skip class without hesitation. Since that time when Lockhart insisted on trying to break her bones, she never stepped into the class again. through his class.For her, self-study in the library is more beneficial than hearing Lockhart brag about his class, and Lockhart will not notice that there is one less student at all, he only cares about when he tells his story in class Whether the performance was lively or not, everyone's reaction was enthusiastic enough.

When they arrived at the library, Camelia met Hannah and her Hufflepuff friends. It was strange that they were all sitting neatly in the back row as if they were discussing some important matter.

After Hannah saw Camelia, she hurriedly beckoned her to sit down. Her friends didn't mind this, on the contrary, they seemed to welcome her very much. Hannah's good friend Ernie McMillan also He specifically emphasized to his partners that Camelia, like him, also came from the pure-blooded 28 family.

Hearing from Hannah that they were going to take herbal medicine class, but due to the sudden snowstorm, Professor Split had to put socks and scarves on the mandrake. This is a job that needs to be handled carefully. Don't worry about handing it over to others. Now it is imperative to make the mandrake grow quickly enough to save the lives of Mrs. Norris and Colin Creevey.

And what the few of them are discussing here is how to protect their classmate Justin Fenrieri. He was targeted by Harry Potter last night and let the suspected heir of Slytherin encourage the snake to go The unlucky guy who attacked had just so happened to have revealed his Muggle ancestry to Harry Potter not long ago, which put him in an extremely dangerous situation.

"So, anyway, I told Justin to hide in our dormitory. I mean, if Potter is going to kill him, he'd better hide for a while. Of course since Justin accidentally You have to prevent such a thing from happening if you tell Potter, but I think whether you are facing the descendants of Slytherin or not, you can't just talk about your own origin, right?"

The talking boy was named Ernie MacMillan, a tall, burly man who was Hannah's best friend.McMillan is also one of the 28 families. Camelia and Ernie actually met at family gatherings in the early years, but they only recently became friends because of Hannah.

"So, Ernie, are you sure Potter is the heir?" Hannah asked eagerly.

"Hannah," Ernie said gravely, "he's a Parseltongue, which everyone knows is the hallmark of a Dark wizard. Have you ever heard of a decent wizard who could talk to snakes? Not to mention Slytherin himself. Parseltongue, I thought everyone knew that."

After hearing this, other people around started talking in whispers. Hannah's face was pale, and it was obvious that she was already afraid, so Camelia took her hand and comforted her.

Then Ernie pointed out that what he found to be common among those who have been killed so far is that they have more or less angered Potter in some way.

The first Mrs. Norris to be killed was turned to stone after her owner Filch had a fight with Potter, and Creevey fell when he took a picture for Potter at the end of the game. Killed after picture of dismay on the ground.Ernie felt that these were the most powerful evidence, so he had no reason not to doubt Potter's true face.

"Potter always seems so friendly, though," said Hannah hesitantly.

Ernie immediately retorted, "Hannah, don't be stupid, would a real bad guy write 'I'm a bad guy' on his forehead to show everyone? After something bad happens, no one will directly suspect him."

Looking at Hannah's paler cheeks, Camelia thought it was time to end this ridiculous discussion and drive these little Hufflepuffs to do some serious business, instead of reasoning out random conclusions here and scaring herself. arrive.

"But if Harry Potter is really the heir of Slytherin, then why is he a Gryffindor? And don't forget, he was the one who made the mysterious man disappear, so he can't be a bad guy "Camilia looked at Ernie and said seriously, "Ernie, I can tell you for sure that he is as good a boy as you are. I think it's best not to jump to conclusions without conclusive evidence. There are many rumors Not reliable."

But Ernie stubbornly insisted on his point of view and asked them all to get closer. After everyone had done so, he lowered his voice and said, "But no one knew how he escaped from death back then. He is just a baby, he should be blown to pieces, that kind of spell can only be escaped by a truly powerful dark wizard." His voice was lowered, almost whispering, "Probably because of this, The mysterious person wants to kill him, because he doesn't want another 'devil' to compete with him, I think Potter probably has some other mysterious magic power to hide from everyone."

After hearing Ernie's absurd and bizarre statement, Camelia was almost laughed at by him, but what was even more unexpected was that Harry, who had been discussed by everyone, almost immediately after Ernie finished speaking Potter actually appeared in front of them in the next second.

Everyone was stunned, especially Ernie, whose face had turned pale when he saw Harry Potter.After hearing that Harry was looking for Justin, the group of Hufflepuffs all looked at Ernie in horror after their worst fears were confirmed.

"What did you want him for?" Ernie asked in a trembling voice.

"I want to tell him what happened to the snake in the Dueling Club," said Harry.

Then he began to explain to everyone that he just wanted the snake not to attack Justin, but almost no one in the room could believe him except Camelia.

Harry seemed annoyed that he wasn't trusted, and Ernie saw him angry, perhaps out of fear and inappropriately claiming to be a wizard from a pure-blood family, and he warned Harry not to think of him, because his ancestors were terrible. They are all serious wizards, and they couldn't find a Muggle at all, but this behavior was not only unnecessary, but also completely angered Harry. After he yelled at Ernie why he hated Muggles, he burst into anger alone left the library.

Ernie's unrestrained speech also made Camelia feel angry, "Potter's mother is of Muggle blood, so it is absolutely impossible for him to hate Muggles, you must know that he also has Muggle blood on his body .”

"But I hear he hates the Muggles he lives with." Ernie swallowed.

"Even that doesn't mean he hates all Muggles."

She dropped this sentence, and hurriedly ran out to chase Harry. Fortunately, the other party didn't go too far, but she seemed to be confused by anger.

When Camelia called to him in a nearby corridor, he turned around with anger mixed with confusion.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't come after you to attack you. I just want to apologize to you for Ernie. Don't worry about what he said just now. He is a boy who thinks things more simply, and sometimes he can't speak with his brain. Today's It's just because he was too worried about his friend Justin."

Harry growled impatiently, "I said I didn't intend that snake to attack Justin!"

"I know, I know, I can understand that you are wronged now, because I have experienced similar things before." Camelia said softly, "But you can't just attack an innocent person just because you feel wronged." If someone loses their temper, it will only make you feel worse, and the more impulsive you are, the more people will believe those rumors."

These words made Harry calm down a lot, and then he felt a little ashamed, and began to apologize to Camelia for his rudeness just now, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you."

"It's okay, I think when Ernie realizes that he has wronged you, he will come over and apologize to you in person. I can guarantee that he is not bad-hearted, but he is just a little stubborn. When the misunderstanding is resolved in the future, you may will become good friends."

"But not many people believe me..." Harry looked extremely frustrated after he calmed down.

"Sorry, I really can't help you now, and I can't change your situation. But I have something to tell you, although we can't influence those public opinions, since you haven't done those things, then ignore people Say something, just pretend they're all talking nonsense. Now you can pick and choose what you want to hear, and the rest of the time you just cover your ears like this, and now you don't hear anything." Camille As Ya spoke, she covered Harry's ears with her hands, causing the little savior's fair cheeks to quickly turn red.

"I think I'll try that, thanks for telling me that," he said in a whisper, his head on his chest.

Perhaps because of a similar experience, Camelia was deeply moved by Harry's situation, and she stretched out her little finger and said to him: "In that case, then, Mr. Savior, let's make an agreement together, no matter what Don't fall down before the truth comes out."

Harry hesitated for a while, but he quickly regained his composure and grinned shyly. He followed Camelia's example and stretched out his little finger, pulling the hook with her. When the thumbs touched , a simple agreement has come into effect.

It wasn't until Camelia was about to leave that Harry asked hesitantly, "Wait a minute, I don't know your name yet?"

"My name is Camelia Shafik, a third year in Ravenclaw." Camelia smiled and rubbed Harry's black hair, which was born messy. "It's so cold outside today. Stop wandering around outside, be careful of catching a cold, and go back to your warm lounge."

Harry felt as if he had taken a refreshing potion, and there was a lot of steam rushing out of his ears and hair.
