[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

Although it is an extraordinary time, Professor McGonagall believes that the school is still not closed, the purpose is to allow students to learn, so she decided to continue the exam as usual.

After repeatedly confirming that the exam cannot be avoided, many students nervously asked themselves what they had learned in this terrible school year. Apart from listening to his funny adventure stories for a year or so, they really had no idea what they had learned.

It was the first time in weeks that the students had forgotten the Heir of Slytherin, the Chamber of Secrets, and the attack, and they were complaining. The final exams were a week away, and the atmosphere in the castle was even more serious.

Only three days before the first exam, Professor McGonagall made an announcement during breakfast.

"I have good news for everyone," she said, but instead of quieting down, the sound in the auditorium grew louder.

Everyone couldn't wait for Professor McGonagall to announce, and guessed the so-called good news on their own. Perhaps the atmosphere in the castle was too heavy and depressing recently, making everyone unable to hold back when they heard the good news.

"No more exams!" Several boys shouted happily.

Several people shouted: "Dumbledore is coming back!"

A girl at the Ravenclaw table shrieked, "Heir of Slytherin caught!"

"The Quidditch game has resumed!" Wood exclaimed excitedly.

After the noise finally subsided, Professor McGonagall continued to announce: "Professor Split told me that the mandrakes can finally be harvested. Tonight, we can rescue those petrified people. No need Say more, and someone among them could tell us who, or what, attacked them. It is my sincere hope that this terrible year will end with us catching the killer."

As soon as the words were finished, the crowd erupted into cheers. The news meant that this terrible year was finally over, but there were also some people who were sad, because the exam would still continue.

After breakfast, Camelia and Cedric were called over by Professor Splitter. The two of them had to help harvest the mandrakes. The task requested by Professor McGonagall must be completed as soon as possible.

Harvesting mature mandrakes is far more strenuous than Camila imagined. Maybe they know what awaits them after leaving the soil, so they take root in the soil more tightly.Camelia imitated Professor Splitter, holding the leaves of the Mandrake plant tightly with both hands, pulling them out like a carrot. The grass still showed no sign of coming out.

Seeing that Cedric and Professor Splitter beside her were progressing very smoothly, they pulled the mandrake out of the soil with almost no effort, and Camelia realized that it was her strength that was too strong. She is too young to do such a job, and now her hands are red from being strangled by the branches and vines on the mandrake. Those strangulation marks are not only deep, but also have a faint fever and pain.Even so, she still wants to try to be able to do it alone.

So she patted the dirt on her hands, and when she continued to compete with the mandrake in front of her, she didn't realize that Cedric was already standing behind her.Cedric hugged her from behind, placing a broad palm on her small hand.

Before Camelia could react, the mandrake had been pulled out of the soil by their joint efforts. Because of the enchanted earmuffs, it could only be seen that its facial features were wrinkled , screaming silently in disapproval.

Seeing this, Camelia was overjoyed, and habitually turned her head to look at Cedric, wanting to share the joy with him, but she didn't want this move to make his sneak attack a success.

After feeling Cedric's kiss on one cheek, Camelia was taken aback, jumped out of his arms immediately, and looked at Professor Split with a guilty conscience, for fear that the scene just now would be seen by her Fortunately, Professor Splitter was facing them with his back, and he seemed to have been concentrating on his work for a while, and they were already working with earmuffs, so they couldn't hear anything.

Although the discovery was a false alarm, Camelia was still a little angry with Cedric. She thought that now is not the time to talk about love and play. They should complete the harvesting task as soon as possible, so as to save those who Dear partner, if Professor Split saw the scene just now, what would she say?Do you think they are still messing around at this time?

Compared to her nervousness, Cedric still had a relaxed and happy face, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he noticed that Camelia seemed a little unhappy, so he wanted to come over and hold her hand, But he saw the other party urging him to hurry up and work with his mouth.

Cedric didn't expect to get such a response from Camelia before, and Cedric was a little disappointed, but then he thought that he really shouldn't be smiling now, and he had to complete the tasks ordered by the professor first, so he touched his nose and started to work again.

Camelia, who is weak, had to give up her original work and put together the mandrakes that had been harvested.

The rest of the work is relatively easy, just bring those mandrakes back to the castle and hand them over to Ms. Pomfrey, which also means that their confinement is over.

When they came out of the school hospital, they didn't hear the familiar bell for class and get out of class. On the contrary, Professor McGonagall's voice, which was amplified by magic, kept echoing in the corridor.

"All students immediately return to their dormitories of their respective colleges, and all teachers return to the staff lounge. Please act immediately."

Cedric turned around abruptly and said to Camelia: "Is something wrong again? At this time?"

"I'm afraid something more serious than the attack happened." Camelia said thoughtfully with her arms folded.

"Then what should we do? Go back to the dormitory?" Cedric couldn't help frowning, "But I think I'd better ensure your safety first, it's very dangerous in the castle now."

He stretched out his hand, "Come on, I'll take you back."

In the dormitory, April was packing her things, because Professor Flitwick told the students the unfortunate news in the Ravenclaw common room ten minutes ago that Ginny Weasley of Gryffindor was captured by monsters Brought into the Chamber of Secrets, the heir of Slytherin left another line of words under the previous paragraph: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever.

When Professor Flitwick was speaking, he used a plaid and striped bandanna to wipe away the tears that kept flowing down from time to time. Everyone understood the hidden meaning behind this. What happened to Ni Weasley felt bad.

In order to ensure the safety of the remaining students, all the teachers decided to end the semester early, and the Hogwarts Express train will arrive early tomorrow morning to take the students home. No one can guarantee whether the school will be closed forever because of these things.

Camelia has remained silent since Professor Flitwick's announcement.After April finished packing, she found that she was still sitting on the bed motionless, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you packing? We're going home tomorrow."

Her voice was a little hoarse, obviously feeling uncomfortable with what happened today.

"I was thinking that Ginny must know something, or she would have been taken away alone." Camelia said, "And, more importantly, we all know that she is a pure-blood. She was attacked earlier. They're both Muggle-born, and I think she must know something about the Chamber of Secrets."

"But we don't know where the secret room is, right? How can we save it? Do you think it's possible for her...just like Penello and the others..."

April could not continue after speaking halfway, as if something was stuck in her throat. Camelia could understand April's current mood, even though she already knew what might happen next, she still couldn't speak at this moment. Come up with a decent reason to convince myself at this time that Ginny is still alive.

Even though Ginny is indeed alive, the thought of her current situation is worrying.

"Think about it, at least we can see Penelope who is alive tomorrow, and maybe the antidote will be ready tonight." April suppressed the grief in her heart and enlightened Camelia who was also suffering, "Think more about the good, we don't have to take the exam, maybe there won't be an exam in the future."

Camelia shook her head and said firmly, "The school will not be closed, don't forget that we still have Dumbledore."

At night Camelia tossed and turned, thinking about recent events.

In her memory, in the year when the chamber of secrets incident happened, everyone packed up their things and prepared to go home early the next morning, but in the middle of the night, everyone was suddenly called up and rushed to the auditorium to attend the banquet in their pajamas. The banquet was improvised by Dumbledore to celebrate Harry rescuing Ginny and closing the Chamber of Secrets. Most of the students didn’t know about how Harry closed the Chamber of Secrets and successfully rescued Ginny. Some people said haha Harry killed the basilisk left by Slytherin in the Chamber of Secrets, and some people say that Harry killed Slytherin's heir.In short, there is a lot of talk.

There are also many theories about where the Chamber of Secrets is. Many people asked Harry for advice afterwards, but he refused to say anything. Ever since it was reported in the first grade that he once again repelled Voldemort, he has not made public those things. Adventures, maybe he doesn't like getting so much attention himself.

Camelia wanted to persuade herself not to think about it anymore. Although Harry is only a 12-year-old boy now, as far as she knows, he is fully capable of handling it. Maybe Dumbledore will guide him secretly Otherwise, he would not have given such a dangerous diary to Harry, so Camelia didn't have to worry so much at all, and she didn't know where the secret room was, even if it was It's no use trying to help.

Just when Camelia felt that she was going to lose sleep again tonight, she suddenly remembered that Riddle's diary was found in the bathroom where Myrtle often stayed, and the first attack happened outside the bathroom In the hallway of the school, the spider crawled in a weird way, and Harry and Ron in the school hospital not long ago asked her about how Myrtle died. It was a mistake, now that I think about it, it must be related to the secret room, maybe that is the key to open the door of the secret room.

She didn't believe in such a coincidence, and all the scattered clues were connected together for a while, so she didn't need to sleep at all.

In the women's bathroom on the second floor, the weeping Myrtle floated out of her exclusive cubicle after hearing the door open.

After seeing who came, she said, "Oh, why are you here too? It's so lively here tonight."

The sink in the bathroom that never came out is now gone, replaced by a very thick water pipe, which seems to be able to accommodate one person to get in. Camelia looked down, and the darkness inside seemed to be bottomless .

"Are they going down?" Camelia asked Myrtle.

"It's been a while," said Myrtle, with more joy than ever before. "They probably won't come back alive. I was just thinking that if the black-haired boy died, I thought I'd welcome him and me. sharing a single toilet."

"Don't do that." Camelia said with some displeasure.

By this time Camelia had made up her mind to go down and look, and was about to spread her legs when Myrtle passed quickly through her body and came in front of her.

"I don't think you need to go down for the time being, someone is already coming to accompany me." At this time, she looked a little dazed.

But Camelia ignored her words, passed directly through her, slowly got into the pipe, said see you later, and then let go, letting herself fall.

It was a sticky, dark, endless slide, and Camelia tried not to scream because of the darkness, because she was afraid of the dark, and she kept her eyes open as wide as possible, which allowed her to see There were many pipes branching out in all directions, but none of them were as thick as the one she was in now.

Since she had been sliding, Camelia deduced that she had slipped to a deep place under the school ground, even deeper than those underground classrooms.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly fell to the ground. At this time, the water pipe became horizontal, and the surroundings were still pitch-black. The only bright spot was a little shimmering. That should be the mouth of the pipe. She was not in a hurry. Crawling outside, he pulled out his wand instead, and whispered into it, "Luminescence."

The tip of the wand immediately glowed, and after doing this, Camelia carefully crawled towards the nozzle.

The mouth of the pipe is a few meters higher than the flat ground below. Outside is a dark stone tunnel. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water droplets. When Camelia jumped down from the mouth of the pipe, she realized that the ground was wet and the walls were also wet. almost.

The tunnel was very dark. After walking a few steps, Camelia felt as if she had stepped on something, so she lowered her wand and found some small animal bones scattered on the ground.She called out the names of Harry, Ron, and Ginny in turn as she continued to walk in, the tunnel getting darker and darker as she went in, until she turned a corner and her call was answered.

Ron put down the stone in his hand, and ran over with a dirty little face, "Oh my God, why are you here?"

Camelia raised her wand so that the light could reach more areas, "Of course I don't worry about you two brats, why are you alone, Harry?"

"Because the stones are in the way, I let him go to rescue Ginny first. Quick! We have to get those stones away quickly so we can join them." Ron said eagerly.

So Camelia pointed her wand at the stones, whispered a spell, and the gravels moved aside automatically, and the tunnel was immediately unblocked.

Lockhart, who witnessed all this, sighed loudly: "Oh, it's amazing! It's like magic."

It wasn't until Lockhart made a sound that Camelia realized that he was here too, and he didn't look right, so she asked Ron, "What's wrong with him?"

"It's all because of my broken wand." Ron blushed.

After clearing the stone, they walked forward, and they met Harry and Ginny within a few steps. Fortunately, both of them were fine.

Relying on Dumbledore's phoenix, they returned to the women's bathroom.As soon as the water pipe comes out, it will automatically close, and the pool that disappeared before will return to its original position and return to its usual appearance.

Myrtle looked very disappointed when she saw the returning crowd, and she said to Harry, "Are you alive? I've already thought about it, and I'll share the same toilet with you."

After walking out of the bathroom, Ron yelled loudly, "Harry, I guess she must be in love with you."

Camelia noticed that in addition to Harry's unnatural expression, so was Ginny.

Many unforgettable things happened that night. Together with Ron, Camelia and Ron sent Lockhart, who had accidentally lost the Forgetting Curse, to Ms. Pomfrey. I can't get up.Dumbledore who came back said that it seemed that he had to submit an advertisement for recruiting teachers to the "Daily Prophet" again. This course was too expensive for the teacher.

"It's a pity, I like him quite a bit now," Ron said to Camelia on the way to send Lockhart to the school hospital.

When they arrived at the school hospital, those petrified people also came back to life one after another. Penello ignored the dust on Camelia's body and gave her the biggest hug ever, which almost made her breathless.Then they went to the banquet that Dumbledore decided to hold on the spur of the moment.

This was an unforgettable and special banquet. Almost all the students were woken up in their sleep, and rushed to the banquet even in their pajamas. At first, the banquet had no atmosphere because many people were drowsy , It wasn't until Dumbledore announced the cancellation of the exam to appease everyone's uneasiness this year, which made the auditorium completely boil.

However, after half a night of tossing and doing a lot of work while helping to harvest mandrakes during the day, Camelia was already too tired to celebrate, and spent most of the time at the banquet by relying on Sleep soundly on Cedric's shoulders.

Due to the cancellation of the exam, everyone had a very relaxing time in the next few days. They played happily for several days, and the castle was full of laughter again.

On the day of returning home, on the side of the platform at King's Cross Station, Cedric held Camelia's hand and said reluctantly, "I think I will miss you very much."

Camelia said softly, "Don't worry, I'll write to you every week."

"Where is one letter a week enough? I want to write to you every day, as if I am always by your side."

"In that case, I will try my best to write to you every day." Camelia said sincerely, her eyes bright.

They stood on the platform and lingered for a long time, still feeling reluctant to separate. This was all due to the fact that there were too many assaults this school year, which made them stay together comfortably in school except for meal time. Time can only miss each other bitterly in my heart.

Camelia looked at the passing crowd, "Sed, I think I should go. I saw my dad, he is walking this way."

"Oh, all right," Cedric said reluctantly.

Camelia waved to him and smiled, "Goodbye then."

Cedric also smiled and said, "Goodbye, I wish you a happy holiday."

"You too."

Cedric watched as Camelia put on her luggage and disappeared into the crowd, but she quickly turned back.

"I forgot." Panting slightly, she ran to Cedric.

"Forgot what?"

Camelia didn't answer, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Cedric on the cheek, and hurriedly left a sentence.

"Forget to tell you again, I like you."

She got into the crowd again, and this time she really went to find her father.
