[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory
Chapter 16 15.
Of all the teachers' offices, Dumbledore's is definitely the funniest.
It was a spacious circular room, full of funny little voices, and on slender-legged tables, there were many strange silverware, which spun around and spewed out little puffs of smoke.The wall behind the desk is covered with portraits of the old headmasters, both men and women, and they are all snoring softly in their respective photo frames.
More than an hour ago, Camelia came to Dumbledore's office and handed Riddle's diary to him. She told Dumbledore that she found a lot of black magic attached to this diary, and Through communicating with the diary, she discovered that he had a great ability to deceive people. After realizing this, she stopped communicating with the diary.Then she thought that with such powerful black magic on an ordinary object, there was no other possibility except Horcruxes, and Camelia, who traveled through time and space, knew that Voldemort had made seven Horcruxes in order to live forever.
Because this may be one of Voldemort's seven Horcruxes, after thinking about it, Camelia felt that it was safest to hand over this kind of thing to Dumbledore. At the same time, Camelia also thought that if she alone It is still too risky to reverse and prevent what happened later by one's own power, and it is indeed the most ideal to go to Dumbledore right now.
So when the respected old wizard asked her why she knew about the Horcruxes and knew that Voldemort had made seven Horcruxes, Camelia told him her secret without reservation.
Sitting on the high-back chair, Dumbledore quietly listened to what Camille said, with a dignified expression. He slowly raised his head and stared at Camille with those light blue, penetrating eyes. Ya.
After a long time, he showed a smile, "Miss Shafik, thank you for being willing to come to share everything you know with me, a crazy old man, as soon as you found this diary, and thank you for trusting me so much .”
"Just call me Camelia, Professor," said Camelia.
"Okay, Camelia." The smile on Dumbledore's face deepened, "Forget about the Horcrux and the Chamber of Secrets for now, let's talk about you. Several professors have talked to you more than once. I have praised you, but it is obvious that you are far better than we imagined. As far as I know, it is an ancient and dangerous magic circle, and almost no one has succeeded. I think it would be difficult for me to do it, but you do Now, this alone is enough to show that you are a very good witch."
"It's just luck. In fact, it's mainly due to the space-time converter. Whenever I sensed something was wrong, I would flip the hourglass a few times... Even so, I still tried thousands of times, tens of thousands of times, Probably more than that ... Anyway I was stuck in a cycle, but luckily I got out of it, but it left that on me."
As Camelia spoke, she rolled up her cuffs and showed Dumbledore the many horrific burn marks on her arms that hadn't completely faded away.
"You are a brave girl." Dumbledore said, but soon his expression became serious again, "Camelia, now I must ask you, this question is very important. We all know that the past is not true. It will change, the things that you from the future told me will happen to you are already in the past, so even if we know it in advance, we still can’t stop it?”
"Professor, that magic circle is not a time magic circle but a space magic circle. Strictly speaking, I am not from the future, I come from a parallel time and space. The things I told you are currently happening in the time and space where I was originally. Yes, it hasn’t happened here yet, and now I have become a variable in this time and space, because of my arrival and leakage of secrets, what will happen in the future depends on our next choices, so this is why I came here desperately One of the reasons is that I want to save him, even if it only changes his fate in this time and space." Camelia said, "When I told you all this just now, the future I knew completely disappeared. , it cannot happen. The future is inherently unknowable and inaccurate. Once it is known and determined, it will disappear and a new one will appear. If it is explained from the perspective of quantum mechanics, it is whether there are observers... ..."
Speaking of this, Camelia stopped suddenly, looked at Dumbledore and apologized: "Sorry, I forgot, if it is fully explained, it will involve some more complicated Muggle theories, let alone those theories. Wizards, even most Muggles find it boring, you may not be interested, I think I'd better not waste your precious time."
Dumbledore said gently: "No, I'm very interested. There is a lot of Muggle wisdom that we can learn and admire, but it's a pity that most wizards still don't think so."
"Yes, even after the Great War, the discrimination against Muggles and Muggles by wizards who advocate pure blood theory remains the same as before and has never changed, but what makes me most disappointed is that what everyone ushered in after the war is not A whole new wizarding world, but a less vibrant one without Voldemort, and some wounds never healed after the war," Camelia said.
Dumbledore looked at her, and the tips of ten slender fingers touched together, "It sounds like you have other things to do now besides saving Digory."
"Although we are the final winners, we have lost far more than the losers. War itself is meaningless, it can't change anything, it will only bring endless disasters, and those who survive will spend their entire lives All grieving for their family and friends who died in the war. I have interviewed many survivors and most of them feel sad for that war, so I don't want to see this kind of regret and sadness repeated, nothing It's more uncomfortable than that."
She looked up at Dumbledore and said firmly, "That's why I made up my mind to come and tell you everything. I believe you can help me. Professor, I don't think that war should have happened."
When the students came for breakfast on February [-]th, they found that the four walls of the auditorium were covered with dazzling pink flowers, and the air was filled with a thick and intoxicating fragrance of roses.To make matters worse, there were many heart-shaped confetti constantly falling from the light blue ceiling, and many of them floated on the table. Be on the lookout for confetti on food too.
When everyone was almost there, Lockhart, wearing a bright pink robe, got up and waved everyone to be quiet.The teachers sitting on either side of him were all stern-faced, and Professor McGonagall had never looked so serious.
"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" said Lockhart loudly. "So far, 46 people have sent me cards, and I want to thank them all!"
There was only sparse applause, probably from the few admirers who still admired him. Camelia heard Ron on the Gryffindor table after Lockhart finished saying that, and said loudly. Asked if Hermione sitting next to him was one of the 46.
Sure enough, these decorations were made by Lockhart on his own initiative, and then he excitedly announced to everyone that he had prepared other surprises, and when everyone saw the so-called surprises, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Through the doors leading into the hall came a dozen sullen-faced dwarves, but they were not ordinary dwarves, and they had golden wings and harps, and they looked funny.The friendly, card-carrying "little Cupids," as Lockhart calls them, are helping to deliver Valentine's Day cards on this special day.But this is not over yet, Lockhart publicly encouraged the students to ask Professor Snape for advice on how to make a love potion, and revealed that Professor Flitwick was proficient in psychedelic magic.
As he said this, Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands in shame, and Professor Snape looked as if anyone who asked him how to make a love potion would be forced to pour it into a large jar poison.
Throughout the day, the dwarves kept disrupting the classroom by barging in to deliver Valentine's Day cards, much to the annoyance of teachers and students alike.Because if you don't accept it, they will hug your thigh and force you to accept it aggressively, but there is nothing worse than a message to the soundtrack, especially when you have to listen to it in front of teachers and classmates Those nasty love letters to you.
Camelia received the first soundtrack message of the day before she had finished her breakfast. The moment she saw the dwarf running towards her, she felt very uneasy and wanted to ask Penello and Aip who were sitting beside her. Li asked for help, but they had seen it before. These dwarfs couldn't be driven away at all, and they all shook their heads to express their helplessness. In the end, Camelia could only accept it. Amid the melodious sound of the harp, the surrounding laughter couldn't stop for a long time.
This was just the beginning of the nightmare. Camelia received a lot of greeting cards one after another. Especially during the Charms class, Professor Flitwick didn't teach for a long time, and a dwarf ran into the classroom to interrupt him. This makes people unable to concentrate on class, and half of those little guys came to find Camelia, and the remaining half came to look for Qiu, which aroused the jealousy of other girls, because in their eyes, receiving a greeting card is not all. It's a bad thing, on the contrary it's a time to prove your charisma, the more cards you receive, the more popular you are.
Because the greeting card incident disturbed the classroom, Camelia did not rush to leave after class, and went to apologize to Flitwick first, but the professor did not blame her, but gave her a box of conference tips with a smile Called Sugar Mouse, told her not to worry about it, and said that this messy day would soon pass.
After thanking the professor, Camelia walked out of the classroom, only to find that it was also noisy outside.
It turned out that Harry Potter had received a soundtrack message, not only that, but the dwarf also tore Harry's schoolbag, and all the things in it were poured out. In the green textbook, Camelia saw Riddle's diary mixed in at a glance. She thought it must have been given by Dumbledore. It seemed that Harry would soon know the truth about the Chamber of Secrets.
The Valentine's Day card made Camelia lose her appetite all day, and she just ate a few mouthfuls of dinner, for fear that a dwarf would appear out of nowhere and hug her leg, but Fortunately, she did not receive any more greeting cards from the dwarves, but Aprilcee sent her a note, saying that Cedric asked her to pass it on.
There was nothing special written on the note, just a simple statement asking Camelia to meet at the old place at six o'clock, and the signature was Cedric's initials.
But it was such a simple note, Camelia read it several times before carefully folding it and putting it in her pocket.
The old place should refer to the History of Magic classroom. Even though it was Valentine's Day, Camelia didn't think too much about it, thinking that Cedric just wanted to find out what happened to him after he got drunk that day.
When Camelia arrived on time, Cedric was already there, but he looked nervous.
"Have you been waiting long?" Camelia asked.
"No, I just arrived." Cedric immediately showed a bright smile when he heard her voice, and then he hurriedly took out a few boxes of chocolates from his schoolbag and said, "Want to eat chocolate? There are many, if you like, I will give it to you."
Camelia glanced at the colorfully packaged chocolates and said, "Sed, it's not good for you to give me the love chocolates that those girls worked so hard to make for you."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I just saw that you didn't seem to eat much tonight, and I was afraid that you would be hungry. But you are right, I really shouldn't bring you what others gave me, I should have prepared it myself, especially It’s still today.” Cedric stuffed the chocolate back with a blushing face, “So many chocolates give me a headache, and I don’t know what to do. In the past, I gave them directly to Ian, but recently he You're mad at me and haven't talked to me for days."
"Why is he mad at you?" Camelia asked curiously.
"This... I think it probably has something to do with my drunkenness, but I don't know the details." Cedric's expression became more and more unnatural, "I drank a little that day, so I can't remember clearly, I just I remember looking for you as soon as I got back to the castle... When I was fully awake, I found myself in the dormitory, and Ian was staring at me angrily... I want to ask, I didn't do anything strange to you that day okay?"
Recalling that day, Camelia blushed, "I didn't do anything... You dragged me here and said you wanted to talk to me, but you didn't even say a few words, you vomited all over yourself, and then I will send you back, on the way back, I met Ernie and the others, so I asked Ernie to send you back."
"So this is ah."
I don't know why Camelia felt that Cedric's tone sounded a little disappointed. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that he had invited her to come here, so she asked, "So you asked me to come here to ask about that day, and why not?" Want me to help you with these chocolates?"
"Of course not." Cedric shook his head quickly, "I have something to tell you, it's very important, I think I haven't finished it last time...but before that, can you listen to me tell a story ?”
The story is very simple. There was a boy who dreamed of being a Seeker for the academy team since he entered school, but when he was qualified to participate in the selection, he was told that he was not suitable to be a Seeker due to his body type. Because good Seekers are often agile, light and small, obviously he is more suitable to be a goalkeeper or a batsman.
By junior year, he was rejected by the team again, despite his hard work and good performance, but was rejected for the same reasons as last year.That night the boy couldn't sleep because of the discomfort. He wondered if he should accept his fate and give up becoming a Seeker, but he was not reconciled.So he ran to the Astronomy Tower alone in the middle of the night to relax, but when he got there, he found a girl watching the stars.
The considerate girl comforted the sad boy, and the boy was greatly encouraged by her words, and became more determined in his dream, but at this time the night watchmen came, so they separated in a hurry in order not to be caught up.After that night, the boy often ran to the Astronomy Tower in the middle of the night, but he never met the girl who comforted him that night.
The boy was very disappointed, because he really wanted to see the girl again, and wanted to say thank you to her, but he didn't even know the girl's name, grade, or even what she looked like, because that day she had a scar on her face. Except for a butterfly-shaped mask, even the hair was tightly covered by the hood of the robe, and he knew nothing about the girl except for a button that was accidentally torn from the girl's cuff during the confusion.
When Cedric said this, he took out a polished metal button from his pocket. The buckle surface was a circle formed by several hollowed-out silver geometric patterns, which was an unusual style.
"Do you know? I have always carried this button with me. It is my lucky charm." Cedric looked at Camelia with deep eyes.
It was obvious that Cedric was the boy in the story, but Camelia couldn't recall that this had happened at all for a while, although she did have a few buttons on clothes that looked like those in Cedric's hands, And she also has a butterfly mask as described in Cedric's story, but she is not sure that she is the girl in the story.
Out of caution, she denied it. "I don't recall such a thing. I think you may be mistaken."
But Cedric grabbed her hand and said softly: "If you were, I think I would be happier, but that doesn't matter, whether you are the girl who comforted me in the Astronomy Tower or not, even if it is true It's my mistake, and it's okay, I just want to say thank you to her, which has been late for many years, and nothing else. The person standing in front of me now is you, and I want to Say something that has nothing to do with this matter, can you listen carefully?"
His gaze became hotter and hotter, and Camelia knew that her face was flushed again, and she didn't know if Cedric had noticed, but his hand had already touched one side of her cheek, the small crescent moon The birthmark became hot and itchy after repeated rubbing by his thumb.
"Okay." She whispered, subconsciously trying to lower her head to avoid Cedric's hot gaze, but at this moment he held her face again, which forced her to look up at him.
Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke for a while. Cedric's eyes were so clear that Camelia was willing to drown in them.At this moment, he was staring at her intently, as if he wanted to see through her. Their eyes happened to be gray, and now these two pairs of gray eyes only contained the reflection of each other. If time could freeze here What a moment, Camelia couldn't help clenching her hands hidden under her robe.
"I really can't help it, please let me finish what I didn't finish last time." Cedric said, every word he said seemed to make Camelia's heart beat faster.
"Camilia." Cedric called her, then pursed his lower lip nervously, and after a while he said with great determination, "I like you."
It sounds so light, but it has so much power. After Camelia realized the meaning of this sentence, she widened her eyes in disbelief. She never imagined that one day, all this It was as if she was dreaming, or she was really dreaming. She always couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. She was afraid that if she accepted it happily, she would find that she was nothing more than Alice who thought she had fallen into the rabbit hole. In the same way, she felt happy and surprised for a while, this complex emotion was hard to express, and it suddenly occupied her heart, she didn't know how to react, and finally all the emotions turned into tears and flowed out.
Seeing Camelia crying, Cedric was also anxious. He said in a panic, "If you don't want to, you can reject me. Don't cry. I can't bear to see you cry."
Cedric clumsily freed his hand to wipe Camelia's tears. He felt at a loss at this moment. He didn't expect her to cry. He was afraid that it was a sign of her extreme dislike for him. He was once very afraid of his liking It will make her feel troubled, feel a kind of burden, and even more afraid that she will be farther away from him after knowing her own thoughts, which is why he has been hesitant to confess to her.
He was afraid that he would not be able to stay by her side.
But soon Cedric realized that he had been thinking wrong all along. Camelia cried and shook her head, "How could you like me? The person you like belongs to Qiu Zhang, not me. I know it all. You like her a lot."
"Why do I like Zhang? Who told you? So are you crying because of this? Then I can tell you for sure now that the person I like is you, and it has always been you, and before you, I never Haven't liked other girls, and I won't like other girls. I thought I gave it away to you, because even Iris could tell that I liked you. I think it must be too obvious. , This makes me very distressed." Cedric smiled helplessly, "If you still don't believe me, you have to tell me why I like Zhang."
Camelia broke down in tears and said, "Aren't there many reasons? She is beautiful, has a good personality, plays Quidditch so well, is popular, has so many friends, and has long black and smooth hair, like like a crow's feathers. And I just..."
"But Camelia, the reasons you gave are clearly explaining why I like you. You are beautiful, smart, gentle and cute. You have everything you have. You are no worse than her. Why do you think so little of yourself? ? And I think you are much prettier than her, at least every time you appear, I can't bear to take my eyes off you."
Camelia wanted to say something, but Cedric seemed to have expected what she would say, "I know you want to say that you can't play Quidditch, but I'm not Wood's kind of Quidditch Quidditch guy, so what if the person I like doesn't know anything about Quidditch? Who says that a person who is good at Quidditch must also like a good Quidditch player? I just like you. By the way, Your hair is like calendula bathed in the sun, it is beautiful, and I like this too."
Cedric reached out and stroked Camelia's hair tenderly while she was still sobbing, "You must be saying this to comfort me."
"I am telling the truth, my dear lady."
Cedric couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't help thinking of the scene when they met in this classroom that day, as if she always didn't believe what he said. Could it be that he looks like the kind of person who is full of lies?
"I remember I told you that I was intimidated by you the first time I saw you. Do you know why?"
Seeing the confusion on Camelia's face, Cedric took her hand and placed it on his chest. At this moment, his heart was beating powerfully. Camelia seemed a little frightened, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. , but Cedric's hand had already been tightly held by Cedric.
"Because when I saw you for the first time in this classroom that day, my heart was beating like it is now, and no girl has ever made me feel this way before. I was thinking about myself You must be crazy, crazy enough to believe that love at first sight is real." Cedric stared at Camelia affectionately, "But because the object is you, now I believe it."
Camelia couldn't believe her ears. She even lamented that this dream had lasted long enough. If she continued, she was afraid that she would be reluctant to wake up.
Cedric caught the confusion in her eyes and smiled, "Still don't believe me? I've been writing to you all this time, and I've sent you flowers. I don't know if you've paid attention to my letters and flowers. After all, there are so many people besides me who gave you... You received a lot just today, so I think if I don't act, it will be too late. I want to confess to you that I am actually that Mr. Coward. "
"I can read your handwriting, how could your handwriting be so ugly." Camelia sniffled.
"Well, I'm afraid that you will recognize me, so those letters are written with my left hand. I was afraid that you would see them when I met them at the post office last time, but I have been studying how to read them carefully. Use your left hand to write or do other things.” Cedric raised his left hand, “It’s just that I’m used to using my right hand, and it’s really inconvenient to try to use my left hand again, and I can’t do many things well.”
Camelia smiled through tears, lightly punched his chest, and whispered: "You are like an idiot, why are you making trouble for yourself?"
"Because you are left-handed, I just want to experience what your normal life is like. However, you are right, I am indeed a fool. I have known you for so long, and I would think you hate me, but this The idiot is serious about liking you in his own way." Cedric said, "Camelia, will you be my girlfriend?"
Before the other party answered, he quickly added, "You can refuse, I won't force you, don't cry, or my heart will be broken."
Seeing his nervous appearance, Camelia, who wanted to cry again, laughed. At this time, she also calmed down a lot. Thinking of the conversation with Dumbledore a few days ago, she thought of the known future Because she's completely gone, it's going to mean that a lot of things might go off the rails they used to be, a little bit differently.Just like now that Cedric said that the person he likes has become her instead of Qiu Zhang, she doesn't know why it has become like this, and she doesn't know if she agrees or rejects Cedric now. his future fate.
Whether or not being able to be with Cedric has never been the purpose of Camelia traveling through time and space, and she knew that the Cedric in front of her was not the one she knew before, even if it was a time and space where she was exactly the same as before. The parallel time and space, but after all, they are not the same person, he does not know their previous past, and it is impossible for him to know.
At this time, Camelia suddenly realized that she was out of control on Halloween night. It turned out that she was not afraid that Cedric's approach would make them repeat the same mistakes in this life, but that she couldn't tell the truth about Cedric in front of her. Whether liking regards him as a substitute for Cedric in the original time and space, or liking that has nothing to do with the previous time and space, she has been resisting his kindness to her these days, but what is she trying to avoid? clear.
Now that the future no longer exists and some things have deviated from the original track, Camelia thinks that she should not continue to be stubborn. She came to this time and space to change something. If she wants to change something, she must first learn Let go of the past, perhaps it is right to let nature take its course.
Thinking of this, Camelia gradually had a clear answer in her heart. After wiping away her tears, she deliberately put on a straight face and said fiercely to Cedric: "But when others confess on Valentine's Day, they always send their girlfriends a bouquet of flowers. , chocolate or something, you are empty-handed, if I just promise you like this, it would be too bad."
"Flowers? Please wait a moment, I almost forgot, I prepared this." Cedric anxiously flipped through his schoolbag, and after a while, he really took out a bouquet of red tulips from the bag.
The flower had been pressed by him in the schoolbag all the time, every petal looked wilted, and some leaves were still covered with soil. At this time, Camelia remembered that when she first entered the classroom, Se Derek also wanted to give her the Valentine's Day chocolates that other girls gave him, and he felt angry and wanted to laugh for a while.
"Could it be that you stole this flower from the greenhouse?"
Cedric neither admitted nor denied, "Because the time is a bit short, so you just go ahead."
"No matter what, I think you'd better return the flowers to Professor Split. I don't want our confinement to continue into the next school year."
"I think the professor would be happy to sponsor me if he knew the purpose of this flower." Cedric said shamelessly, "As for chocolate, I have a lot in my bag. If you promise me, it will be all yours, including I am also yours."
Camelia said dumbfoundingly: "Cedric, are you trying to piss me off on purpose? You are so blatantly giving your girlfriend something that other girls gave you."
"I'll just throw it all away. Don't be angry, okay?" Cedric said, throwing the schoolbag on the ground immediately, stepping forward and hugging Camelia with a smile.
"Since you are my girlfriend, you have to throw away the greeting cards and chocolates you received today. Of course, it is best to throw away all the love letters you received before. From now on, you are only allowed to accept the ones from me, and no one else is allowed." Take it again. Now I'm your boyfriend, you have to listen to me about this kind of thing. "
"What about other things?" Camelia asked with a smile on her face.
"Listen to you, I will listen to you."
After Cedric finished speaking, he couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed Camelia. He felt as if he was eating strawberry cake. It was so sweet. Her lips were so soft, like rose petals, with a faint He indulged himself, greedily asking for the fragrance, as if he couldn't kiss enough, and he was so happy that she also liked him.
At that moment, Cedric felt that he had become the happiest person in the world, but he didn't know that Camelia thought so too.
The author has something to say:
Because I am a pure liberal arts student, the theories about traveling through time and space that appear in this article are based on reading theories such as the grandfather paradox, referring to some movies and books, and adding a little bit of my own understanding. Don't get too caught up in logical errors.Although I don't know much about this aspect, but I still know one thing. Using a time-space converter to save people cannot save people. Don't ask me why, you can figure it out for yourself.

Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: 30 bottles of invincible boat;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
It was a spacious circular room, full of funny little voices, and on slender-legged tables, there were many strange silverware, which spun around and spewed out little puffs of smoke.The wall behind the desk is covered with portraits of the old headmasters, both men and women, and they are all snoring softly in their respective photo frames.
More than an hour ago, Camelia came to Dumbledore's office and handed Riddle's diary to him. She told Dumbledore that she found a lot of black magic attached to this diary, and Through communicating with the diary, she discovered that he had a great ability to deceive people. After realizing this, she stopped communicating with the diary.Then she thought that with such powerful black magic on an ordinary object, there was no other possibility except Horcruxes, and Camelia, who traveled through time and space, knew that Voldemort had made seven Horcruxes in order to live forever.
Because this may be one of Voldemort's seven Horcruxes, after thinking about it, Camelia felt that it was safest to hand over this kind of thing to Dumbledore. At the same time, Camelia also thought that if she alone It is still too risky to reverse and prevent what happened later by one's own power, and it is indeed the most ideal to go to Dumbledore right now.
So when the respected old wizard asked her why she knew about the Horcruxes and knew that Voldemort had made seven Horcruxes, Camelia told him her secret without reservation.
Sitting on the high-back chair, Dumbledore quietly listened to what Camille said, with a dignified expression. He slowly raised his head and stared at Camille with those light blue, penetrating eyes. Ya.
After a long time, he showed a smile, "Miss Shafik, thank you for being willing to come to share everything you know with me, a crazy old man, as soon as you found this diary, and thank you for trusting me so much .”
"Just call me Camelia, Professor," said Camelia.
"Okay, Camelia." The smile on Dumbledore's face deepened, "Forget about the Horcrux and the Chamber of Secrets for now, let's talk about you. Several professors have talked to you more than once. I have praised you, but it is obvious that you are far better than we imagined. As far as I know, it is an ancient and dangerous magic circle, and almost no one has succeeded.

"It's just luck. In fact, it's mainly due to the space-time converter. Whenever I sensed something was wrong, I would flip the hourglass a few times... Even so, I still tried thousands of times, tens of thousands of times, Probably more than that ... Anyway I was stuck in a cycle, but luckily I got out of it, but it left that on me."
As Camelia spoke, she rolled up her cuffs and showed Dumbledore the many horrific burn marks on her arms that hadn't completely faded away.
"You are a brave girl." Dumbledore said, but soon his expression became serious again, "Camelia, now I must ask you, this question is very important. We all know that the past is not true. It will change, the things that you from the future told me will happen to you are already in the past, so even if we know it in advance, we still can’t stop it?”
"Professor, that magic circle is not a time magic circle but a space magic circle. Strictly speaking, I am not from the future, I come from a parallel time and space. The things I told you are currently happening in the time and space where I was originally. Yes, it hasn’t happened here yet, and now I have become a variable in this time and space, because of my arrival and leakage of secrets, what will happen in the future depends on our next choices, so this is why I came here desperately One of the reasons is that I want to save him, even if it only changes his fate in this time and space." Camelia said, "When I told you all this just now, the future I knew completely disappeared. , it cannot happen. The future is inherently unknowable and inaccurate. Once it is known and determined, it will disappear and a new one will appear. If it is explained from the perspective of quantum mechanics, it is whether there are observers... ..."
Speaking of this, Camelia stopped suddenly, looked at Dumbledore and apologized: "Sorry, I forgot, if it is fully explained, it will involve some more complicated Muggle theories, let alone those theories. Wizards, even most Muggles find it boring, you may not be interested, I think I'd better not waste your precious time."
Dumbledore said gently: "No, I'm very interested. There is a lot of Muggle wisdom that we can learn and admire, but it's a pity that most wizards still don't think so."
"Yes, even after the Great War, the discrimination against Muggles and Muggles by wizards who advocate pure blood theory remains the same as before and has never changed, but what makes me most disappointed is that what everyone ushered in after the war is not A whole new wizarding world, but a less vibrant one without Voldemort, and some wounds never healed after the war," Camelia said.
Dumbledore looked at her, and the tips of ten slender fingers touched together, "It sounds like you have other things to do now besides saving Digory."
"Although we are the final winners, we have lost far more than the losers. War itself is meaningless, it can't change anything, it will only bring endless disasters, and those who survive will spend their entire lives All grieving for their family and friends who died in the war. I have interviewed many survivors and most of them feel sad for that war, so I don't want to see this kind of regret and sadness repeated, nothing It's more uncomfortable than that."
She looked up at Dumbledore and said firmly, "That's why I made up my mind to come and tell you everything. I believe you can help me. Professor, I don't think that war should have happened."
When the students came for breakfast on February [-]th, they found that the four walls of the auditorium were covered with dazzling pink flowers, and the air was filled with a thick and intoxicating fragrance of roses.To make matters worse, there were many heart-shaped confetti constantly falling from the light blue ceiling, and many of them floated on the table. Be on the lookout for confetti on food too.
When everyone was almost there, Lockhart, wearing a bright pink robe, got up and waved everyone to be quiet.The teachers sitting on either side of him were all stern-faced, and Professor McGonagall had never looked so serious.
"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" said Lockhart loudly. "So far, 46 people have sent me cards, and I want to thank them all!"
There was only sparse applause, probably from the few admirers who still admired him. Camelia heard Ron on the Gryffindor table after Lockhart finished saying that, and said loudly. Asked if Hermione sitting next to him was one of the 46.
Sure enough, these decorations were made by Lockhart on his own initiative, and then he excitedly announced to everyone that he had prepared other surprises, and when everyone saw the so-called surprises, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Through the doors leading into the hall came a dozen sullen-faced dwarves, but they were not ordinary dwarves, and they had golden wings and harps, and they looked funny.The friendly, card-carrying "little Cupids," as Lockhart calls them, are helping to deliver Valentine's Day cards on this special day.But this is not over yet, Lockhart publicly encouraged the students to ask Professor Snape for advice on how to make a love potion, and revealed that Professor Flitwick was proficient in psychedelic magic.
As he said this, Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands in shame, and Professor Snape looked as if anyone who asked him how to make a love potion would be forced to pour it into a large jar poison.
Throughout the day, the dwarves kept disrupting the classroom by barging in to deliver Valentine's Day cards, much to the annoyance of teachers and students alike.Because if you don't accept it, they will hug your thigh and force you to accept it aggressively, but there is nothing worse than a message to the soundtrack, especially when you have to listen to it in front of teachers and classmates Those nasty love letters to you.
Camelia received the first soundtrack message of the day before she had finished her breakfast. The moment she saw the dwarf running towards her, she felt very uneasy and wanted to ask Penello and Aip who were sitting beside her. Li asked for help, but they had seen it before. These dwarfs couldn't be driven away at all, and they all shook their heads to express their helplessness. In the end, Camelia could only accept it. Amid the melodious sound of the harp, the surrounding laughter couldn't stop for a long time.
This was just the beginning of the nightmare. Camelia received a lot of greeting cards one after another. Especially during the Charms class, Professor Flitwick didn't teach for a long time, and a dwarf ran into the classroom to interrupt him. This makes people unable to concentrate on class, and half of those little guys came to find Camelia, and the remaining half came to look for Qiu, which aroused the jealousy of other girls, because in their eyes, receiving a greeting card is not all. It's a bad thing, on the contrary it's a time to prove your charisma, the more cards you receive, the more popular you are.
Because the greeting card incident disturbed the classroom, Camelia did not rush to leave after class, and went to apologize to Flitwick first, but the professor did not blame her, but gave her a box of conference tips with a smile Called Sugar Mouse, told her not to worry about it, and said that this messy day would soon pass.
After thanking the professor, Camelia walked out of the classroom, only to find that it was also noisy outside.
It turned out that Harry Potter had received a soundtrack message, not only that, but the dwarf also tore Harry's schoolbag, and all the things in it were poured out. In the green textbook, Camelia saw Riddle's diary mixed in at a glance. She thought it must have been given by Dumbledore. It seemed that Harry would soon know the truth about the Chamber of Secrets.
The Valentine's Day card made Camelia lose her appetite all day, and she just ate a few mouthfuls of dinner, for fear that a dwarf would appear out of nowhere and hug her leg, but Fortunately, she did not receive any more greeting cards from the dwarves, but Aprilcee sent her a note, saying that Cedric asked her to pass it on.
There was nothing special written on the note, just a simple statement asking Camelia to meet at the old place at six o'clock, and the signature was Cedric's initials.
But it was such a simple note, Camelia read it several times before carefully folding it and putting it in her pocket.
The old place should refer to the History of Magic classroom. Even though it was Valentine's Day, Camelia didn't think too much about it, thinking that Cedric just wanted to find out what happened to him after he got drunk that day.
When Camelia arrived on time, Cedric was already there, but he looked nervous.
"Have you been waiting long?" Camelia asked.
"No, I just arrived." Cedric immediately showed a bright smile when he heard her voice, and then he hurriedly took out a few boxes of chocolates from his schoolbag and said, "Want to eat chocolate? There are many, if you like, I will give it to you."
Camelia glanced at the colorfully packaged chocolates and said, "Sed, it's not good for you to give me the love chocolates that those girls worked so hard to make for you."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I just saw that you didn't seem to eat much tonight, and I was afraid that you would be hungry. But you are right, I really shouldn't bring you what others gave me, I should have prepared it myself, especially It’s still today.” Cedric stuffed the chocolate back with a blushing face, “So many chocolates give me a headache, and I don’t know what to do. In the past, I gave them directly to Ian, but recently he You're mad at me and haven't talked to me for days."
"Why is he mad at you?" Camelia asked curiously.
"This... I think it probably has something to do with my drunkenness, but I don't know the details." Cedric's expression became more and more unnatural, "I drank a little that day, so I can't remember clearly, I just I remember looking for you as soon as I got back to the castle... When I was fully awake, I found myself in the dormitory, and Ian was staring at me angrily... I want to ask, I didn't do anything strange to you that day okay?"
Recalling that day, Camelia blushed, "I didn't do anything... You dragged me here and said you wanted to talk to me, but you didn't even say a few words, you vomited all over yourself, and then I will send you back, on the way back, I met Ernie and the others, so I asked Ernie to send you back."
"So this is ah."
I don't know why Camelia felt that Cedric's tone sounded a little disappointed. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that he had invited her to come here, so she asked, "So you asked me to come here to ask about that day, and why not?" Want me to help you with these chocolates?"
"Of course not." Cedric shook his head quickly, "I have something to tell you, it's very important, I think I haven't finished it last time...but before that, can you listen to me tell a story ?”
The story is very simple. There was a boy who dreamed of being a Seeker for the academy team since he entered school, but when he was qualified to participate in the selection, he was told that he was not suitable to be a Seeker due to his body type. Because good Seekers are often agile, light and small, obviously he is more suitable to be a goalkeeper or a batsman.
By junior year, he was rejected by the team again, despite his hard work and good performance, but was rejected for the same reasons as last year.That night the boy couldn't sleep because of the discomfort. He wondered if he should accept his fate and give up becoming a Seeker, but he was not reconciled.So he ran to the Astronomy Tower alone in the middle of the night to relax, but when he got there, he found a girl watching the stars.
The considerate girl comforted the sad boy, and the boy was greatly encouraged by her words, and became more determined in his dream, but at this time the night watchmen came, so they separated in a hurry in order not to be caught up.After that night, the boy often ran to the Astronomy Tower in the middle of the night, but he never met the girl who comforted him that night.
The boy was very disappointed, because he really wanted to see the girl again, and wanted to say thank you to her, but he didn't even know the girl's name, grade, or even what she looked like, because that day she had a scar on her face. Except for a butterfly-shaped mask, even the hair was tightly covered by the hood of the robe, and he knew nothing about the girl except for a button that was accidentally torn from the girl's cuff during the confusion.
When Cedric said this, he took out a polished metal button from his pocket. The buckle surface was a circle formed by several hollowed-out silver geometric patterns, which was an unusual style.
"Do you know? I have always carried this button with me. It is my lucky charm." Cedric looked at Camelia with deep eyes.
It was obvious that Cedric was the boy in the story, but Camelia couldn't recall that this had happened at all for a while, although she did have a few buttons on clothes that looked like those in Cedric's hands, And she also has a butterfly mask as described in Cedric's story, but she is not sure that she is the girl in the story.
Out of caution, she denied it. "I don't recall such a thing. I think you may be mistaken."
But Cedric grabbed her hand and said softly: "If you were, I think I would be happier, but that doesn't matter, whether you are the girl who comforted me in the Astronomy Tower or not, even if it is true It's my mistake, and it's okay, I just want to say thank you to her, which has been late for many years, and nothing else. The person standing in front of me now is you, and I want to Say something that has nothing to do with this matter, can you listen carefully?"
His gaze became hotter and hotter, and Camelia knew that her face was flushed again, and she didn't know if Cedric had noticed, but his hand had already touched one side of her cheek, the small crescent moon The birthmark became hot and itchy after repeated rubbing by his thumb.
"Okay." She whispered, subconsciously trying to lower her head to avoid Cedric's hot gaze, but at this moment he held her face again, which forced her to look up at him.
Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke for a while. Cedric's eyes were so clear that Camelia was willing to drown in them.At this moment, he was staring at her intently, as if he wanted to see through her. Their eyes happened to be gray, and now these two pairs of gray eyes only contained the reflection of each other. If time could freeze here What a moment, Camelia couldn't help clenching her hands hidden under her robe.
"I really can't help it, please let me finish what I didn't finish last time." Cedric said, every word he said seemed to make Camelia's heart beat faster.
"Camilia." Cedric called her, then pursed his lower lip nervously, and after a while he said with great determination, "I like you."
It sounds so light, but it has so much power. After Camelia realized the meaning of this sentence, she widened her eyes in disbelief. She never imagined that one day, all this It was as if she was dreaming, or she was really dreaming. She always couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. She was afraid that if she accepted it happily, she would find that she was nothing more than Alice who thought she had fallen into the rabbit hole. In the same way, she felt happy and surprised for a while, this complex emotion was hard to express, and it suddenly occupied her heart, she didn't know how to react, and finally all the emotions turned into tears and flowed out.
Seeing Camelia crying, Cedric was also anxious. He said in a panic, "If you don't want to, you can reject me. Don't cry. I can't bear to see you cry."
Cedric clumsily freed his hand to wipe Camelia's tears. He felt at a loss at this moment. He didn't expect her to cry. He was afraid that it was a sign of her extreme dislike for him. He was once very afraid of his liking It will make her feel troubled, feel a kind of burden, and even more afraid that she will be farther away from him after knowing her own thoughts, which is why he has been hesitant to confess to her.
He was afraid that he would not be able to stay by her side.
But soon Cedric realized that he had been thinking wrong all along. Camelia cried and shook her head, "How could you like me? The person you like belongs to Qiu Zhang, not me. I know it all. You like her a lot."
"Why do I like Zhang? Who told you? So are you crying because of this? Then I can tell you for sure now that the person I like is you, and it has always been you, and before you, I never Haven't liked other girls, and I won't like other girls. I thought I gave it away to you, because even Iris could tell that I liked you. I think it must be too obvious. , This makes me very distressed." Cedric smiled helplessly, "If you still don't believe me, you have to tell me why I like Zhang."
Camelia broke down in tears and said, "Aren't there many reasons? She is beautiful, has a good personality, plays Quidditch so well, is popular, has so many friends, and has long black and smooth hair, like like a crow's feathers. And I just..."
"But Camelia, the reasons you gave are clearly explaining why I like you. You are beautiful, smart, gentle and cute. You have everything you have. You are no worse than her. Why do you think so little of yourself? ? And I think you are much prettier than her, at least every time you appear, I can't bear to take my eyes off you."
Camelia wanted to say something, but Cedric seemed to have expected what she would say, "I know you want to say that you can't play Quidditch, but I'm not Wood's kind of Quidditch Quidditch guy, so what if the person I like doesn't know anything about Quidditch? Who says that a person who is good at Quidditch must also like a good Quidditch player? I just like you. By the way, Your hair is like calendula bathed in the sun, it is beautiful, and I like this too."
Cedric reached out and stroked Camelia's hair tenderly while she was still sobbing, "You must be saying this to comfort me."
"I am telling the truth, my dear lady."
Cedric couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't help thinking of the scene when they met in this classroom that day, as if she always didn't believe what he said. Could it be that he looks like the kind of person who is full of lies?
"I remember I told you that I was intimidated by you the first time I saw you. Do you know why?"
Seeing the confusion on Camelia's face, Cedric took her hand and placed it on his chest. At this moment, his heart was beating powerfully. Camelia seemed a little frightened, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. , but Cedric's hand had already been tightly held by Cedric.
"Because when I saw you for the first time in this classroom that day, my heart was beating like it is now, and no girl has ever made me feel this way before. I was thinking about myself You must be crazy, crazy enough to believe that love at first sight is real." Cedric stared at Camelia affectionately, "But because the object is you, now I believe it."
Camelia couldn't believe her ears. She even lamented that this dream had lasted long enough. If she continued, she was afraid that she would be reluctant to wake up.
Cedric caught the confusion in her eyes and smiled, "Still don't believe me? I've been writing to you all this time, and I've sent you flowers. I don't know if you've paid attention to my letters and flowers. After all, there are so many people besides me who gave you... You received a lot just today, so I think if I don't act, it will be too late. I want to confess to you that I am actually that Mr. Coward. "
"I can read your handwriting, how could your handwriting be so ugly." Camelia sniffled.
"Well, I'm afraid that you will recognize me, so those letters are written with my left hand. I was afraid that you would see them when I met them at the post office last time, but I have been studying how to read them carefully. Use your left hand to write or do other things.” Cedric raised his left hand, “It’s just that I’m used to using my right hand, and it’s really inconvenient to try to use my left hand again, and I can’t do many things well.”
Camelia smiled through tears, lightly punched his chest, and whispered: "You are like an idiot, why are you making trouble for yourself?"
"Because you are left-handed, I just want to experience what your normal life is like. However, you are right, I am indeed a fool. I have known you for so long, and I would think you hate me, but this The idiot is serious about liking you in his own way." Cedric said, "Camelia, will you be my girlfriend?"
Before the other party answered, he quickly added, "You can refuse, I won't force you, don't cry, or my heart will be broken."
Seeing his nervous appearance, Camelia, who wanted to cry again, laughed. At this time, she also calmed down a lot. Thinking of the conversation with Dumbledore a few days ago, she thought of the known future Because she's completely gone, it's going to mean that a lot of things might go off the rails they used to be, a little bit differently.Just like now that Cedric said that the person he likes has become her instead of Qiu Zhang, she doesn't know why it has become like this, and she doesn't know if she agrees or rejects Cedric now. his future fate.
Whether or not being able to be with Cedric has never been the purpose of Camelia traveling through time and space, and she knew that the Cedric in front of her was not the one she knew before, even if it was a time and space where she was exactly the same as before. The parallel time and space, but after all, they are not the same person, he does not know their previous past, and it is impossible for him to know.
At this time, Camelia suddenly realized that she was out of control on Halloween night. It turned out that she was not afraid that Cedric's approach would make them repeat the same mistakes in this life, but that she couldn't tell the truth about Cedric in front of her. Whether liking regards him as a substitute for Cedric in the original time and space, or liking that has nothing to do with the previous time and space, she has been resisting his kindness to her these days, but what is she trying to avoid? clear.
Now that the future no longer exists and some things have deviated from the original track, Camelia thinks that she should not continue to be stubborn. She came to this time and space to change something. If she wants to change something, she must first learn Let go of the past, perhaps it is right to let nature take its course.
Thinking of this, Camelia gradually had a clear answer in her heart. After wiping away her tears, she deliberately put on a straight face and said fiercely to Cedric: "But when others confess on Valentine's Day, they always send their girlfriends a bouquet of flowers. , chocolate or something, you are empty-handed, if I just promise you like this, it would be too bad."
"Flowers? Please wait a moment, I almost forgot, I prepared this." Cedric anxiously flipped through his schoolbag, and after a while, he really took out a bouquet of red tulips from the bag.
The flower had been pressed by him in the schoolbag all the time, every petal looked wilted, and some leaves were still covered with soil. At this time, Camelia remembered that when she first entered the classroom, Se Derek also wanted to give her the Valentine's Day chocolates that other girls gave him, and he felt angry and wanted to laugh for a while.
"Could it be that you stole this flower from the greenhouse?"
Cedric neither admitted nor denied, "Because the time is a bit short, so you just go ahead."
"No matter what, I think you'd better return the flowers to Professor Split. I don't want our confinement to continue into the next school year."
"I think the professor would be happy to sponsor me if he knew the purpose of this flower." Cedric said shamelessly, "As for chocolate, I have a lot in my bag. If you promise me, it will be all yours, including I am also yours."
Camelia said dumbfoundingly: "Cedric, are you trying to piss me off on purpose? You are so blatantly giving your girlfriend something that other girls gave you."
"I'll just throw it all away. Don't be angry, okay?" Cedric said, throwing the schoolbag on the ground immediately, stepping forward and hugging Camelia with a smile.
"Since you are my girlfriend, you have to throw away the greeting cards and chocolates you received today. Of course, it is best to throw away all the love letters you received before. From now on, you are only allowed to accept the ones from me, and no one else is allowed." Take it again. Now I'm your boyfriend, you have to listen to me about this kind of thing. "
"What about other things?" Camelia asked with a smile on her face.
"Listen to you, I will listen to you."
After Cedric finished speaking, he couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed Camelia. He felt as if he was eating strawberry cake. It was so sweet. Her lips were so soft, like rose petals, with a faint He indulged himself, greedily asking for the fragrance, as if he couldn't kiss enough, and he was so happy that she also liked him.
At that moment, Cedric felt that he had become the happiest person in the world, but he didn't know that Camelia thought so too.
The author has something to say:
Because I am a pure liberal arts student, the theories about traveling through time and space that appear in this article are based on reading theories such as the grandfather paradox, referring to some movies and books, and adding a little bit of my own understanding. Don't get too caught up in logical errors.Although I don't know much about this aspect, but I still know one thing. Using a time-space converter to save people cannot save people. Don't ask me why, you can figure it out for yourself.
