In early August, Camelia met Harry outside Florin's, and after a few pleasantries, he told Camelia that he now lived above the Leaky Cauldron.

In the days that followed, Camelia ate a lot of free ice cream with Harry's help. She reciprocated and guided Harry to complete a lot of homework. Harry was very grateful for this, and bluntly said that this was his summer homework. the fastest ever.

Without the burden of homework, Harry became more and more reckless in spending his holiday shopping and eating under the umbrellas outside the coffee shop.Sometimes when Camelia came to look for Cedric and found him still busy, she would go shopping with Harry to pass the time.

Harry told Camelia that his parents had left him a large sum of money in Gringotts, so he was well off and didn't have to worry about his life at all.

Though he said so, and indeed his purse was full of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts, Camelia soon discovered that he was very much in control.Except for the necessities, he rarely paid out of his own pocket for the novelty that the average child would crave, though his eyes glowed when he looked at them.

I'm afraid that if I have no financial income, if I spend a lot of money, I might spend all my money before I graduate.This made Camelia feel more and more that Harry is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. He is the most carefree age, but he has to bear burdens that even adults can't imagine.

One day, Harry stopped outside a toy store for a long time, and saw him staring at the products displayed in the transparent window, so Camelia invited him to accompany her to look at them on the pretext of buying toys for her brother. look.

Then she paid for Harry's set of beautiful, sturdy gold gobstones (a wizarding game, sort of like pinball, in which the little pebbles come out of nowhere when the player loses a point. squirting the stinky liquid into his face) because he's been peeking at it since he came in, and she didn't forget to buy her brother Anders a brand new set of wizard chess, which he's playing now The set of chess that Camelia played when she was a child was left over.

Little Anders's love for wizard chess is something that no one in his family expected. When children his age are running around like crazy in the garden, he can sit quietly in front of the chessboard and constantly deduce. Various chess games.

Despite his young age, he was indeed a very talented child. Mr. Shafiq always said that Anders was as focused as his sister Camelia when she was a child.

After paying the money, Camelia stuffed the set of gold gobstones into Harry's arms, smiled and said to him: "It's your belated birthday present, Harry, I remember your birthday is in July Right?"

"Yes, but I can't accept..." Harry stammered, "Because...because I didn't give you any presents on your birthday, I appreciate your kindness, but I'd better take it back to your brother. "

"Why are you being polite to me? Take it. My Anders only likes chess, so it's a waste to take it back. As for my birthday present, if you care about it, just make it up next year. It's okay." Camelia Push something into Harry's hands.

In the end, Harry accepted it cautiously. At this moment, he had the appearance that a child of his age should have, with a smile that couldn't be hidden, and green eyes shining like jewels.

He said with some excitement: "Then next year when your birthday comes, I will definitely give you a great gift."

"Really? I made a note of it."

Camelia patted his head out of habit, and for some reason Harry always resisted, but he never said anything about it.

"I have to go to the Lihen Bookstore. Seid is about to leave work soon. How about you? Have you bought all the books that should be bought?" Camelia said, looking at the watch on her wrist.

"Not...not yet," Harry replied.

"Then let's go together. In fact, I have received the book list from Hogwarts for several days." Camelia narrowed her eyes, "But there must be a decent reason to deceive Dad, otherwise it will always Just run to Diagon Alley if you have nothing to do, and he will find something is wrong."

"What about others...? I'm talking about Diggory..." Harry hurriedly added, "Because I haven't had any contact with him, so I'm not familiar with him..."

Harry didn't know Cedric at school before, but when he saw Camelia sitting next to him in the cold drink shop a few days ago, they behaved affectionately, talking and laughing. At that time, he politely rejected Cedric. Ke wanted to invite him to have a drink, and it was not until later that Harry learned of the relationship between the two from the store manager Florin.

"He's very nice, very nice. I think you'd like him if you got to know him a little better. It's just that he's Hufflepuff's Seeker now, which is your rival, but I think even Opponents can also become good friends in private." Camelia said.

While talking, they had already come to Lihen Bookstore. The window of the bookstore usually displays spell books with golden reliefs, but now such books are gone, replaced by a big iron cage, which contains about a hundred copies of "Monster Our Book of Monsters.

It was a disaster when the books were locked together, for there was a wrestling contest between them, with almost every book biting and fighting with a combative nature, sending shattered pages flying all over the store.

"Sed told me that people in bookstores are having headaches with these books, and you can see that they are always biting people. In fact, the way to calm them down is quite simple, you just need to stroke the spine of the book gently. said Camelia to Harry, "but when there are so many books together, this method doesn't work very well."

As soon as they entered the bookstore, the manager rushed to greet them.

"Hogwarts?" he asked unexpectedly. "Are you here to buy new books?"

"Yes," said Harry, "I need—"

"Get out of the way, please," said the manager impatiently, pushing Harry and Camelia aside.I saw him put on a pair of thick gloves, picked up a thick cane full of knots, and walked towards the iron cage containing "Monster Book of Monsters" as if he was dead.

"Wait a minute," said Harry hastily, "I already have the book."

"I have it too." Camelia said quickly when the manager turned around.

"Have you got it already?" The manager immediately showed a look of great relief, "Thank God, I have been bitten five times this morning."

At this moment, there was a loud tearing sound in the cage.

"Stop! Stop!" cried the manager, thrusting the cane between the bars and separating the books.

"I'm never going to buy these books again, ever! It's a shame! We've had two hundred copies of The Invisibility Book of Invisibility before, and I thought there was nothing worse than that—well, that What else do you need?"

Harry looked at his book list, "I need a copy of 'Putting Through the Fog' by Cassandra Wabraski."

"It's time to learn prophecy, isn't it?" The manager took off his gloves, "Then are you the same as him?"

"Actually, I'm here to find someone." Camelia blushed slightly when she said this.

"Looking for someone?" The bookstore manager was a little surprised. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hands, looked up and down Camelia, and then smiled.

"Oh, I'm confused, aren't you the girl who comes to Seid every day, and he's checking the new books that arrived today. I think this kind of thing should be done by a careful person. Okay Yes, you go."

The manager pointed out Camelia's approximate location, and then led Harry to the other side of the bookstore, where there was a corner full of books on divination.

Cedric was standing between the two bookshelves, holding a thick book list in his hands. The sunlight that slipped in through the window was cut off by the tall bookshelves, making it half-bright and half-dark. In the shadows, it feels so unreal.

"Come on, why don't you say anything?" Cedric said.

Camelia withdrew her dazed expression and walked over with a smile, "Because my boyfriend is so handsome when he's serious."

Cedric's smile faded a bit, his eyes darkened, "Cammy, sometimes you really make people..."

"What's wrong with you?" Camelia asked.

"It's nothing." Cedric quickly returned to his usual appearance, put down the thick stack of sheets in his hand, embraced the person in front of him, rested his head on her neck like a big rascal dog, and asked in a hoarse voice : "Kiss?"

"Just here?"

"Yes, that's it."

"No, it's a beautiful idea." Camelia pushed his head, and then said in a serious tone, "Actually, I'm here today to do something serious."

After speaking, he solemnly took out the Hogwarts book list from the pocket of his robe and shook it at Cedric.

"Oh, I finally remembered to buy books today." Cedric couldn't help laughing.

"Because I'm going to my grandparents' place tomorrow, and I think I'm most likely going to stay there until school starts."

Although the Shafiq old couple were dissatisfied with their son's marriage, they still loved their granddaughter so much that their son sometimes felt overly spoiled.

They don’t live together now, but the old couple still call Camelia to live with them for a while every year. In previous years, they would choose Christmas holidays without any accidents. But last year, because Camelia decided to stay in school and did not go back, let They missed her very much, so they kept writing letters asking her to come and live with them during the summer vacation.

Firstly, she didn’t want the old man to miss her so much, and secondly, Camelia also wanted grandma to teach her how to make more desserts and dishes, so she thought it’s better to go back.Her grandma is very good at cooking. She always told them that it was these things that captured her grandpa's heart. I don't know if what she said is true, but grandpa really loves her cooking. Not only him, but the whole family are full of praise for grandma's craftsmanship.

This made Cedric feel awkward for a while, because he knew that it meant that they would not see each other until school started. Although they were tired of being together every day after the start of this summer vacation, they had to be separated for a while. This is somewhat unacceptable for young couples in love.

"So suddenly?"

"Yeah, it was so sudden." Camelia blinked innocently.

Having been confirmed again, he sighed and took him into his arms again.

"What should I do? Me, now I miss you just after a short separation."

"We can still write letters every day." Camelia comforted him with what she said on the platform that day.

During the last part of the summer vacation, the two owls ran back and forth between Devonshire and West Sussex, and the letters kept coming like snowflakes in the freezing weather, which really tortured the two good-tempered owls. After a full circle, they finally got angry with their masters and went on strike as if they had made an appointment, and they refused to send them any good words. Fortunately, when they went on strike, there were only a few days left before the start of school.

Not much has changed for the new term, but Cedric and April, who are entering fifth grade, have been elected prefects of their respective houses.According to school tradition, there are exclusive compartments for the prefects on the train. Once the train leaves, they have to go to the front compartment for reports and meetings.

In an ordinary car, as soon as the door closed, Iris said to Camelia: "You have to watch out for Vanessa."

Iris rarely put on a serious expression, which made Camelia laugh, "Are you talking about that female prefect of Hufflepuff?"

Seeing that the other party was smiling and didn't seem to take her words seriously, Iris' tone became a little more serious, "Vanessa Hall, she definitely has that kind of thought about Seid, trust me. And to be honest, I don't Like her a lot."

"Aren't you jealous of others?" Ian always likes to tear Iris down.

Iris rolled his eyes at him, "What do you know, what can I be jealous of her? Is she beautiful? Is she smart?"

"That's not half as beautiful and smart as my April." Ian first nodded in agreement, and then said, "But she is more than enough than you, at least she is a prefect now."

"You can shut up for me, when April became your family, the skin is itchy again, isn't it?"

At this time, Ian whispered to Camelia: "It's not because I can't beat her, I'm afraid of her, but because we have always let her go."

After saying this, Ian raised his head and found that Iris was already waving his fist at him. Immediately, his whole body was no different from a deflated balloon, and then he pretended to be admiring the scenery outside the car window very seriously. .

"Really, you must believe me. She will come to find fault with you in a few days, and then she will pretend to be pitiful in front of Ced." Iris continued.

"I trust Seid, he can tell right from wrong."

In fact, Camelia has already vaccinated herself since they were about to be together. This kind of thing is inevitable. After all, Cedric can rely on his handsome face and do nothing. Getting the admiration of many girls is indispensable.

"Be careful." Iris didn't know what to think, and suddenly she was filled with righteous indignation, "No, Vanessa is the best at making troubles behind her back! I know, if she dares to do something bad to you, Don't blame me for rushing over to give her a slap!"

"Camilia didn't do anything, she just met him once and she was fascinated by Seid. She didn't think about eating and drinking. Look at yourself, you have been chasing Wood for so long and you haven't made any progress. What does this mean? Ian held down Iris who was about to get up several times, ignored her black face, and continued to speak desperately, "It means that she is more capable than you, so don't come up with a foolish idea and hurt others."

It was no surprise that Ian, who owed his mouth, was beaten up by Iris, but Iris did not deny that he praised Camelia for being smart.

Halfway through the train, Fred and George Weasley came over with some specialties from Egypt.

Almost everyone knows that the Weasley family won the Galleon Award of the "Daily Prophet" on the front page of the daily newspaper. In addition, everyone also knows that their family took the money to travel to Egypt .

"Egypt is wonderful," said Fred, "it's just a pity we couldn't keep Percy in the pyramid."

George was also disappointed. "It's because Mom likes him so much. You know what? Percy became the head of the Boys' Council."

"Sed, you already told us. Because Percy is going to have a meeting with their new prefect to explain something," Camelia said.

In fact, this news was first told by Penello to Camelia during the summer vacation. She, of course, became the president of the female student union, and she was a couple with her boyfriend.But Camelia was afraid of mentioning Penello. After hearing this, the two brothers had to laugh at their brother again. Although they didn't mention it, they would still laugh at him with a high probability.

"Poor Ced, I'm afraid I won't be back for a while." Fred immediately showed a pity expression on his face, "Percy wrote a long manuscript at home, saying that he will be in the new grades." Speak well in front of the boss."

"He's got a lot of air," said George.

"Ron was going to be driven insane by Percy last night because his precious chairman badge was missing. So he called Ron to look for it in the middle of the night, and wouldn't let Ron sleep if he couldn't find it."

Then Fred imitated Percy's majestic appearance and pointed fingers at George who had become Ron. Because of this performance, the imitation was so vivid that everyone in the car was amused.

It was not until the end of the performance that Fred told Camelia and others the truth about the loss of the badge.

"Actually, it was processed by us. This is an old trick. I think you all understand it."

When the twins left, the Hogwarts Express was heading north steadily. The scenery outside the window was getting more and more rural, but at the same time the sky was getting darker, and it had started to rain.

Then the carriage door creaked open, and Cedric walked in with an apologetic smile on his face.

"Sorry, I'm late. I could have come sooner, but Hall stuck with me. I didn't expect Percy to talk that long, though." He sat down beside Camelia.

Ignoring Iris' look of "I knew it" to herself, Camelia held Cedric's hand and said, "It's okay."

The train was still going north, and the rain was getting heavier; through the window panes, the only sky outside could be seen as a dense gray color, which was still deepening, and the lights in the corridor and on the luggage rack were turned on at this time Get up and look like it's night.At the same time, the train staggered forward in the torrential rain, the dense raindrops were beating on the windows, and the wind was howling.

Gradually, everyone felt that something was wrong, because the train was getting slower and slower, and the sound of the wheels became smaller, but the sound of wind and rain outside the window did not necessarily mean to stop, and the people in the car gradually became restless.

Cedric, who was closest to the door, and mindful of his current duties as a prefect, decided to check out the corridor.But he wasn't the only one who had such an idea, and now there were people in all the carriages beside the corridor looking out.

The train shook suddenly and came to a complete stop. There was a bang bang bang bang sound, and a lot of luggage fell from the shelves.Then, all the lights went out in an instant, and there was no one left, and everything was swallowed by darkness.

"What happened?" Ian asked.

"I don't know..." Cedric shook his head.

Iris' voice was a little flustered, "Did you say the train broke down?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a creaking sound outside the car, which was short and harsh.Camelia, who was close to the window, wiped a clean spot on the windowpane to look out. Without the light, she could only see some vague black outlines.

"Something's moving," Camelia said.

The door of the carriage opened suddenly, and someone fell to the ground in pain.

"Ouch! I'm so sorry!"

It sounded like Ernie's voice.

"Ernie, is that you?" Cedric fumbled for Ernie's coat in the dark and pulled him up.

"Yes, it's me. I wanted to come over and ask, do you know what happened?"

"I don't know, you sit here first," Cedric said, "I think I'd better go out and have a look."

But Camelia grabbed his arm hard and pulled him back into position, while she yelled, "Sit down! Everyone else stay where they are! Nobody move now!"

This surprised Cedric and couldn't help calling out: "Jamie!"

Not only him, but everyone else in the carriage was shocked, because Camelia spoke very softly on weekdays, and she had never spoken so loudly like now.

For a while, what happened outside was no longer important to Cedric. At this time, he was worried whether Camelia lost control of his emotions because of fear, so he went to shake her hand, and her hand was cold as expected. It was like a block of ice, Cedric was startled, and he held her hand even tighter. He tried to warm her hand with his own body temperature, and wanted to tell her in this invisible way, don't be afraid, he is here Well, but she shook off Cedric's hand and stood up.

"Everyone listen to me, don't go anywhere, just stay here and sit still!"

At that moment, none of the crowd raised any doubts, as if they had vaguely realized the seriousness of the situation.

Asking others to sit down, Camelia herself took out her wand and walked to the door of the carriage, but before her hand touched the doorknob, the door opened slowly and automatically.

When the door opened, lightning split the sky into two cracks. In the deafening thunder, under the flash of light, they finally saw the guy standing in the doorway—a man in a cloak , a monster as tall as the ceiling.Its face was completely hidden under the hood, and everyone saw a skinny gray hand protruding from the cloak. This hand was still glowing faintly, but it didn't affect that it looked like something dead and soaked in water. Something that rots in the water.

Someone said, "That's a dementor."

The monster under the cloak seemed to sense the gaze of the people in the carriage, and the hand suddenly retracted into the black cloak.The thing under the hood, gasped, as if trying to suck in something other than air around it.

At this time, they all felt a chill passing over their bodies, and the chill quickly penetrated the skin, reaching the chest and heart, and even the breath was frozen in the lungs.

Although the feeling of being disturbed by the dementor at this time was so terrifying that it made people unable to move, Cedric still struggled subconsciously to get up to protect Camelia who was closest to the dementor in the carriage.

Camelia pointed her wand at the dementor and yelled, "Guardian!"

Then everyone saw a cute and nimble silver squirrel emerge from the end of her wand, rushing towards the dementor, and the monster ran away immediately after seeing the little thing.

For a long time no one in the car spoke.

"When that thing came in, did you feel so cold?" Ernie's voice lost a lot of strength than usual.

"I just find it weird." Ian twisted his body uncomfortably, "It's as if all my happiness is gone..."

Iris was so frightened that she couldn't speak, curled up in a corner and sobbed softly, Camelia walked over and hugged her comfortingly.

Cedric stared at Camelia in disbelief like a sleepwalker and said, "How did you do it? The Patronus Charm is..."

Camelia seemed to know what he was going to ask, and before he finished speaking, she said, "I didn't expect to be so successful this time, obviously I have failed many times before..."

I don't know what Cedric was thinking of, but he suddenly became very excited, and just when he couldn't help but want to hug Camelia, the carriage door opened again.

This time it wasn't one of their classmates or a dementor who came in, but a teacher who claimed to be their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this semester.

After introducing himself, the teacher took out a large piece of chocolate from his pocket and distributed it to everyone. After briefing them about the situation, he praised Camelia's Patronus Charm very well. Before he left And told them maybe he should give Ravenclaw more points.

That was the first time they met Professor Lupine.

The author has something to say:

I've been waiting for a long time. There are a lot of things to do when school starts recently.And recently I conceived a be ending, if it is really written, will you send me the blade?
