[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

As soon as July comes, the sun gets bigger and bigger, and the ground is roasted every day until it is as soft as cotton candy, almost melting.

At this time, Florin's Cold Drinks in Diagon Alley is a good place to go.Camelia had been sitting there writing her summer homework for several days until Cedric got off work.

Not long after the holiday started, Cedric successfully applied for a summer job at Lihen Bookstore. Every year at this time, Lihen Bookstore would hire young and capable assistants to deal with the students who came to buy textbooks.Cedric did a great job, and won the trust of the bookstore manager within a few days.

Camelia has been staying in London recently to continue psychological treatment. In fact, as early as the second grade, her father had listened to some Muggle friends to advise her to arrange psychological counseling for her daughter, but he didn't pay much attention at that time, thinking that her daughter would be happy It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to go. At that time, Camelia just thought that this kind of consultation was still useful but unnecessary, so she seldom went to it. It was not until several years later that she really realized that it was really important to her. .

For convenience, Mr. Shafik bought a house on the street near the Leaky Cauldron. If there is no need, the house is rented out to Muggles. Most of the tenants are students and professors of the school. A group of people usually go home or travel during the holidays. Those who don’t live there can just vacate the house at this time and save it for the daughter who came back from the holiday, because their father and daughter still often go shopping together. Muggle museums, or listen to some lectures and operas, see some plays and movies.

Penello's home is also in London. When she didn't make an appointment with a psychiatrist or go to see Cedric, Camelia spent most of the rest of the time with Penello. On a certain day in early July He also stayed at her house.

Although she was studying at Hogwarts, Penello did not give up those Muggle courses. She planned to go to a Muggle university after graduation next year.Her parents are both Muggles, each with a well-paid job, and their attitude towards the wizarding world is also very tolerant, but they seem to hope that Penello can stay in the Muggle world to find a job.

"I haven't figured it out yet, maybe I won't go to university, and go to the Ministry of Magic with Percy." Penello shrugged, "You know, he is going to work in the Ministry of Magic, maybe he will go to the Ministry of Magic." Will be a workaholic. Although he already has that potential now."

"Even if he is really a workaholic, don't you still like him very much?"

"Stop bothering me." Penello said, "We are okay, we can graduate together, but you, I'm afraid you will cry to death when Cedric graduates."

"What's there to cry about? Why don't he graduate one year later? If he's not in school, I can still write to him." Camelia didn't think so.

"A lot of things can happen in one year. When you stay at school, how can you know what happened to him in the first place. Writing a letter is not as good as having someone else by your side. Have you ever thought about the future? ?”

Camelia was stunned by Penello's question.

future?Her future with Cedric?She really never thought about it. When she came here, she only wanted to save him, and now, if he didn't survive, everything she did would be meaningless.Regarding the future, the only thing she can be sure of is that she will always love Cedric, and she can't guarantee anything else.

Thinking of this, Camelia couldn't help but feel heavy, but she still didn't forget to say to Penello in a heartless tone: "There are still a few years, it's too early to think about it, how about you?"

However, it seems that Penello is more anxious about the "future" than Camelia. "He seems to have only planned what he will do after graduation, and he hasn't mentioned much about how we will live together in the future. And never asked my opinion... Well, you know the boy, he always grows up so slowly. I haven't talked to him about college yet, and I'm afraid he won't like it.”

During the summer vacation, in addition to going to see Penello, Camelia will also stay with Cedric's friends.

Ian's mother runs a bakery in Diagon Alley, and the business is good. Ian will come to the shop to help out during the holidays, so Camelia can often see him in Diagon Alley.Mrs. Haines, Ian's mother, often generously invites his son's friends to the store for afternoon tea.

Mrs. Haynes is a short, round-faced witch, who always smells of delicious bread. She is easy-going, and people almost never see her in a bad mood. She always stays busy in the kitchen, And collected a lot of aprons of different styles, but she seems to only love yellow and brown, because she has never seen her wearing an apron of other colors.

Iris would often come to Diagon Alley to play with them. Usually, the two boys sat aside to discuss the recent Quidditch match, or happily discussing when to call their classmates who lived nearby to go to a certain place together. There's a ball game out of sight of Muggles.The two girls sat aside to discuss fashion, and occasionally chat about recent gossip.

Ian often dislikes their laughter when they gossip, but Cedric doesn't have a big opinion about it, but if they hear them talking about other boys, especially when Camelia is saying goodbye When he is a boy, he will rarely pull his face down.

They all know that Ian likes April, but April's attitude towards him has been lukewarm over the years.So Ian was very distressed and asked some of his friends for help.

"You said I invited April to watch the Quidditch match next week, will she go?"

"She's not much interested in the school games, so what do you think?" Iris said.

Ian yelled: "The school can't compare with the profession!"

"What's the difference? Aren't they all Quidditch games?" Iris pouted. She couldn't understand why boys and some girls were so passionate about Quidditch.

Cedric couldn't help interjecting, "That's much more exciting than the school."

Ian took the opportunity to agree with his friend, "I don't think anyone can refuse Quidditch."

Camelia also joined their chat, "I just have one question, if she goes, will you focus on watching the game, or sit there and explain Quidditch to her?"

"Of course I'm not such an incomprehensible guy, so I will explain it clearly to her."

"Just keep explaining? Don't talk about other things?" Camelia said.

Ian asked her back, "If you don't talk about Quidditch on the field, what else can you talk about?"

Camelia and Iris looked at each other, both a little helpless, "I see, you just want April to go to the game with you, not to go on a date with her."

Ian, who has always been thick-skinned, blushed, "I can't say that, if I could, of course I would like to date her, but the relationship between the two of us has not yet reached that point, so I just want to use the name of a friend , go to a game to enhance your relationship."

Camelia said: "Generally, there are many ways to enhance the relationship, but if you invite a girl who doesn't like Quidditch very much to accompany you to watch the Quidditch match, if I am April, I will definitely refuse you politely." .”

"No, April won't be so gentle, but just tell him to 'get off', hahaha." Regardless of Ian's staring at her, Iris still said mercilessly, "Why do you guys always chat Quidditch? I hope I'm not the only one who finds this boring."

"Actually, it's okay to chat occasionally, if it's always..." Camelia couldn't help complaining, because there is a father who is fanatical about Quidditch at home, and she doesn't love this sport that much, so she feels a lot deep.

"If Wood came to talk to you about Quidditch, would you be bored, too? It would be with a smile on your face and running over - whoops! Why did you hit me? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Iris rolled up the "Daily Prophet" in her hand and slapped Ian hard. Ian called Cedric to help him in pain, but Cedric didn't move. After thinking about something, the three realized that he hadn't made a sound for a long time. Camelia was a little worried about this, so she shook his hand and asked what was wrong with him.

Cedric said hesitantly: "I wonder if you think I'm boring, because I often chat with you about Quidditch, I thought you would be interested too, but I didn't expect... sorry, I don't Well, I didn't take care of..."

"Not at all." Camelia said, her clear gray eyes were full of sincerity, and she didn't seem to be lying.

Cedric muttered, "But you just said..."

"Then you have been chatting with me about Quidditch all day long? Who doesn't have any personal hobbies, let alone you are my boyfriend, even if you just stand there without saying or doing anything, I don't know I think you are very interesting, so don’t say that you are boring in the future.” Camelia stared at Cedric and said, “I sometimes chat with you about Muggle science and books, I'm also afraid that you will find me boring."

Hearing what she said, Cedric swept away the gloom and returned to his usual sunny smile, "How could I possibly find you boring?"

Seeing their faces getting closer, Ian couldn't bear it and said, "Let me tell you to solve my problem first, and it won't waste much of your time."

A few days later, in a Muggle amusement park, six wizards had changed into Muggle clothes and mixed in the crowd. They looked no different from ordinary Muggle youths, among them Cedric and Camelia They were wearing the same color of clothes, the same white short-sleeved shirt, with a simple bear pattern drawn on the chest pocket, but one of them was wearing pants and the other was a skirt.

The two of them walked in front of a few friends with their fingers clasped together, talking and laughing, to outsiders they looked like an ordinary young couple in love.The four people walking behind them have been looking at this Muggle amusement park with curious eyes, because they know that everything here does not use magic, but it looks like magic, so everything they see is novel.

A huge wheel resembling a donut is constantly rotating at various angles. The small train without a roof carries people quickly sliding along the twisted track, and the colorful wooden horses on the rotating platform are jumping up and down.Cheerful music, ubiquitous laughter, and even the screams that should have been horrific here are all output by joy.

Iris, who was the most troublesome and wanted to ride a roller coaster, turned pale and her legs were so soft that she could hardly stand still after trying it out. However, after hearing three boys comment that it was far less exciting than riding on a broom, She insisted again that this was nothing, she could do it again, maybe to prove what she said was true, and she also boldly shouted for everyone to do it again, but seeing her trembling legs while talking, who Will believe her nonsense, except Wood.

In order for Ian to invite April, Camelia and Iris lied to April that Iris wanted to ask Wood to go to a Muggle amusement park, and wanted them to help match them up.Although April looked cold on weekdays, she was very enthusiastic when encountering such a thing, and she and Iris were also friends since childhood, so she agreed.As for Wood, it was Ian and Cedric who went to look for it. They switched roles for the same reason, but Wood was not interested in this kind of thing. The reason why he came here was mainly for Camelia's face, because He has been looking for an opportunity to repay Camelia's favor, and he thinks he can't take the autograph book from her for nothing.

Since Iris couldn't see that Iris was just trying to save face, Wood thought she really wanted to come back again, so he kindly helped her persuade other people, saying that it was a rare time to come and experience more, and it was best for everyone not to leave anything behind Pity.After speaking, he had already consciously looked at the queue at the entrance, as if he was carefully calculating how long he would have to wait in line to play again.

When Wood turned around, Iris looked at the other four with uneasy eyes, and indirectly admitted that she was lying just now with exaggerated body language and an extremely resistant expression. It was enough for her to sit down like this.

Others didn't want to help, thinking that she was doing it to herself, only the soft-hearted Camelia decided to help her, and frowned, covering her chest and said, "Oliver, I'm sorry, I might spoil your fun. My heart is not very good. I started to feel flustered just sitting down and watching you play. How about we go to play other games first? There are still many items that have not been played. If we have time later, we will come over again. .”

Unexpectedly, Wood said very considerately: "It's okay, I can stay here with Iris, you go to play other things first. And if you feel uncomfortable, you must say it earlier."

"Yeah, if you want to play, let Oliver accompany you." April reacted first and pushed Iris towards Wood, "We'll come back to you later."

Iris couldn't say "no". At this moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and followed Wood to queue with tears in her eyes.

Looking at the two people who were leaving, Camelia also said with emotion, "I can't see that he is actually very caring."

"Career than me?" Cedric said sourly.

"Yo, it seems that someone's jealousy has been turned over." Ian pulled April and stood aside to watch the show.

I saw Camelia covering her chest with her hands at this moment, and bent slightly, "Stop making trouble, I suddenly feel that my heart really hurts, I knew I would not come."

In fact, Camelia is not making it up. Her heart is indeed not very good. As a premature baby and suffering from congenital heart disease, she underwent many operations when she was a child. Thanks to the careful care of her family for many years, she can It's barely healthy to live like it is now.

So hearing what she said, Cedric was naturally worried, "Really? Do you want me to rub it for you?"

"I'm hurting here, are you sure you want to rub it for me?" Camelia pointed to her heart with a serious expression.

Following Cedric, who was looking over, his face was covered with a blush, and then the roots of his ears and neck turned pink. He lowered his head and took a deep breath. Miria was teasing herself, suddenly her eyes lit up strangely, she smiled, raised her head, and was about to speak.

But was interrupted by April's expressionless face, "This is a public place, you two, even if you are flirting, you should be careful."

Then Ian sent them to play something else, don't stay here all the time.

Cedric deliberately pulled Camelia behind the two of them and walked slowly. After making sure that the two people in front couldn't hear her, he whispered, "It's not like I haven't touched it before."

He spoke so quickly that Camelia didn't hear clearly at first, and it wasn't until she noticed where his eyes were fixed that she realized what he had said.This time it was her turn to burn her cheeks and whispered a bad word to Cedric, but she didn't notice that the tips of Cedric's ears were still red until now.

When they arrived at the haunted house full of lifelike severed hands and feet, Cedric raised his foot and was about to enter, but Camelia on the side grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

"Sed, I'm afraid of the dark, so let's not go in." Camelia looked at Cedric with her big watery eyes.

Cedric patted her head and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

But Camelia slipped into his arms unambiguously, with a terrified expression on her face no less than that of Iris who was just under the roller coaster. Cedric couldn't coax him, but found that Ian was giving him a wink. Camelia was rubbing against his arms again, looking like she wanted to remind him of something.

He took advantage of the situation and said, "Then you go, we won't go in."

At this time, not far from the haunted house, there was a clown selling balloons, and many children surrounded him. Although the red-nosed clown looked funny and clumsy, his hands were very dexterous, and he folded a puppy out of a long balloon.

After watching the two enter the haunted house, Cedric patted Camelia, who was still in his arms, and said softly, "Go, I'll buy you balloons to play with."

Camelia deliberately pretended that she had misheard, "Mr. Diggory, you are so naive, how old are you still like to play with balloons?"

"I didn't buy it for myself. I bought it for five-year-old Mrs. Diggory." Cedric corrected her kindly.

"Five years old? Am I that small?" Camelia blurted out. She disliked being told that she looked very small.

Cedric held up Camelia's face and looked at it carefully, then laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, you, at most three years old, you can't be older."

As soon as the words fell, a soft little pink fist hit Cedric's chest. Camelia looked angry and unexpectedly cute. At this moment, Cedric couldn't help but think of the thing that he thought she looked like a squirrel. Originally, I wanted to talk to her, but I was afraid that she would get angry, so I didn't say it after thinking about it, but I was more happy when I called her "Mrs. Diggory". Instead of refuting, she acquiesced.

Cedric, who was in a good mood for a while, decided not to tease her anymore. After pinching her cheek, he said, "Okay, we won't buy balloons anymore, let's go buy some drinks for everyone."

After buying the drinks, they sat next to the music fountain and ate the same ice cream, and then slowly took the drinks they bought back to find Ian and the others, only to find that there was something wrong there.

Ian didn't have good intentions, he deliberately took April to the haunted house, and wanted to wait for April to open his arms to her selflessly when she was afraid.But who would have thought that a wizard who has even seen real ghosts would be frightened by these artificial ghosts.Not only was he screaming in fright, but he also took out his magic wand in panic, and cast "faint to the ground" on a ghost in the haunted house, who was actually a staff member, in a white sheet.If it weren't for April to stop, perhaps more Muggles would suffer.

According to the laws formulated by the Ministry of Magic, after entering Hogwarts, generally underage wizards will have traces of the Ministry of Magic on their bodies. They are not allowed to use magic outside the school, especially in front of Muggles.

Ian was underage, so people from the Ministry of Magic quickly tracked it down and sent someone to deal with it. Ian also received a warning letter because of this.

When Camelia and Cedric came to look for them, the people sent by the Ministry of Magic to write off the memory of the Muggles who saw the passing by in the haunted house had just left.

Seeing Ian's gloomy look, Cedric comforted him, "Don't worry, if you commit a crime for the first time, you won't be expelled from school."

"Why do I feel that you are gloating about your misfortune?" Ian said.

Because of such an unpleasant episode, April suggested that they should go back as soon as possible, for fear that some of their wizards who don't know much about Muggles will accidentally expose their identities and cause other troubles.Ian felt ashamed today, and didn't really want to stay and continue playing, and he was here for April, so he didn't have much interest in the amusement park.Cedric and Camelia didn't really care, they both had the mentality of going out to play with their friends, and seeing that they were not interested, they agreed to go back.

Iris, who was alone with Wood over there, didn't seem very happy, and Iris' face was worse than what they saw before they left.

On the way back, the girls got together, and after asking, they found out that Wood mistakenly thought that Iris liked to play some exciting things. In addition to the roller coaster, they played a lot of facilities that Iris didn't know the name of. One of them made her scream.

"You really want to save face and suffer, but if you tell him the truth that you don't like it, you won't make yourself like this." April said.

"I saw that he seemed to be having a good time, so I didn't dare to say anything, and when I thought of being with him, I couldn't care less." Iris's pale face finally turned red.

"It sounds like something is wrong. Tell us, is this wood enlightened?" Camelia giggled.

"It's still a long way to go. Do you think that everyone is as lucky as you, not everyone is like Seid, who can learn how to take care of his girlfriend without being taught by others, and I am far from that kind of relationship with him. away."

"It's been a waste of time for a long time?" April said.

"That's not true. He has promised to teach me to ride a broomstick. However, I haven't touched a broomstick much since flying lessons in the first grade, and every time I ride a broomstick, I am afraid that I will fall off. If He knows that my level is so bad and I have no talent at all, will he regret it? After all, people as patient as Seid have been scared by me because of this, so can you two help me?" Yili Si said, looking at the two friends.

Camelia immediately said, "What a coincidence, not only do I have a bad heart, I'm afraid of the dark, and I'm also afraid of heights."

So Iris could only look at April, and then April said calmly: "You know what level I am."

"Let it be." Camelia patted Iris on the shoulder sympathetically.

The author has something to say:

In addition, let’s talk about the settings I changed. According to the original settings in the original book, the Ministry of Magic stipulates that underage students are not allowed to use magic outside of school. Well, like some practical classes, magic must be used, and it is inconvenient for wizards not to use wands, so this article has been slightly changed. Students can use some simple magic at home, but they cannot be used if there is a certain risk, unless it is homework Requirements, but these magics must be under the supervision of parents. The Ministry of Magic can check the records at any time. If you use magic in front of Muggles, you will receive a warning letter, and you will be expelled if you use magic many times and the nature is bad.
