[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

It was still raining when the train arrived at Hogwarts station.At the other end of the small platform stood the burly Hagrid, who beckoned to the panic-stricken freshmen, who would then lead them on a traditional trip to the lake.

Although the bad weather is not suitable for boating, this tradition cannot be broken.

The other grades of the school got off the train and walked down a dirt road, where at least a hundred carriages were waiting for them, each drawn by an invisible horse, at least in the eyes of the other students. In this way, after they climbed into a carriage and closed the door, the carriage would drive by itself.As for the luggage, those house elves will help them to the dormitory, don't worry about it at all.

One thing that many students don't know is that the carts are actually not invisible horses, but a magical animal called thestrals. They look a bit like reptiles, with no flesh on their bodies, and tight black fur. Tightly attached to the skeleton, every bone is clearly visible.Superstitious people believe that such creatures are very unlucky, and they will bring terrible disasters to those who see them, belonging to a certain kind of bad omen.But in fact, thestrals can only be seen by those who have witnessed death.

Camelia only knew that Theodore Nott in Slytherin could see thestrals as well as she did, but she didn't know about the other students.The reason why Camelia can see thestrals is because her grandfather died of illness when she was very young. In her memory, he was a respected wizard, and Theodore Nott of Slytherin A tall, thin boy who looked a bit lonely as he seemed to be doing things by himself a lot, his mother died before he could go to school and Camelia attended Mrs Nott with his father funeral.

The funeral was held grandly, and it is not difficult to see Mr. Nott's memory of his dead wife. After that, he never continued, and has been raising his son Theodore alone.

Although Theodore was also a member of Draco Malfoy's group of children, Camelia still had a good impression of him, at least he never laughed at her with the "squib incident".

There was a faint musty and straw smell in the carriage, and when the carriage drove into the gate, it increased its speed on the long sloped driveway, and only wobbled to a stop in front of the castle.

Ian and Iris got out of the car first, because the appearance of the dementor on the carriage made people panic. Ian was not worried about April, and he couldn't find her, so he insisted on pulling Iris to accompany him It is impossible to find her now.

After Cedric helped Camelia get out of the car, he found several people blocking the stone steps entering the castle.

"I heard you passed out, Potter? Was Longbottom telling the truth? Did you really pass out?"

Draco Malfoy's characteristic drawn-out voice sounded, and he pushed Hermione roughly out of the way, blocking Harry's path with his smug face and blue-gray eyes. Malevolence was flashing, but in the end the imminent quarrel was stopped by Professor Lupine who dismounted from the carriage.

Because of the presence of the teacher, Draco didn't dare to do anything wrong, but his attitude was still very arrogant, maybe it was because of the patch on Professor Lupine's robe and the tattered box, which made him look down on the poor man in front of him. Teacher, for this reason, he and his two little followers giggled for a long time, and after laughing, he led them into the castle arrogantly.

Camelia didn't know when Fred and George Weasley appeared behind her and Cedric, but there was no doubt that they also witnessed the whole process just now.

"That little fool," said George calmly, "wasn't so cocky when a dementor came into the car on the train. He ran into our car in fright, didn't he, Fred?" ?”

"Nearly pissed myself," said Fred, casting a contemptuous glance at the castle door.

"I'm not particularly happy myself," said George, "those dementors are horrible things..."

"It kind of freezes your guts, doesn't it?" Fred didn't know whether he was addressing Camelia or his brother George, but Camelia silently nodded in agreement.

Then George told them in high spirits, "My daddy went to Azkaban once, remember, Fred? He said it was the worst place he'd ever been. He came back shaking...these cameras The spirits suck all the joy out of that place, so there are a lot of inmates going crazy in the prison."

"Thank you both for telling us so much." Cedric interrupted George with a smile. urgent."

After he finished speaking, like a child, he arrogantly and naively took Camelia's hand to swear sovereignty. Because of this, Fred and George inevitably wrinkled their noses and made him angry, and the level of ridicule was no less than that of their treatment of own brother Percy.

When there were only the two of them left, Camelia tilted her head and said to Cedric with a smile, "Are you jealous?"

Cedric was straightforward and admitted directly, "Well, so you have to make it up to me."

"It's obvious that you are jealous, so why do you have to make me compensate you?"

"I think it's just because you're so cute. And I'm not greedy, just kiss me here." Cedric pointed to his cheek expectantly.

Camelia, who has always been responsive to his requests, couldn't bear to refuse him at all. Knowing that he was playing a rascal again, she tiptoed obediently and quickly kissed him on the cheek. Unexpectedly, just after the kiss, Cedric will The other side turned.

"You agreed to only kiss once." Camelia pouted and looked dissatisfied at him who was pushing his boundaries.

"But I'm jealous for two, of course one kiss is not enough." Cedric looked extremely innocent.

"Hmph! You're bullying people again. Now I'm going to complain to Iris and the others."

"Since this is the case, there is no other way. I can only be a bad guy to the end."

Most of the time, Cedric was so gentle that he was in a mess, but occasionally he would be so domineering and unreasonable as he is now. It seemed that when he met Camelia, all his reason would be thrown away until he overwhelmed everyone. She kissed the wall until she was out of breath before letting go.

It wasn't until Cedric spoke that Camelia realized that what was wrong with him from just now was not because of jealousy, but because of those dementors.

"I really didn't know it at the beginning. It turns out that depression is such a terrible thing. I thought that as long as I take you to eat more delicious food and take you to do some fun things, your illness will be cured soon. , but I didn’t know until today, I seem to think everything is too simple.”

Cedric held Camelia tightly in his arms.

"Why do you suddenly have this idea? And my illness is much better now, really." Camelia hugged him back.

"Because the dementors are only around us for a short while, it feels so bad, so I can't imagine how you are in that state all the time every day, I think it is very difficult to keep yourself from going crazy. It's unbelievable, but you always pretend to be happy. How can I not love you?"

Camelia once explained to Cedric that depression felt like having a dementor around her, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.At that time, she just made an analogy casually, but she didn't expect him to remember it all the time.

"Sed, do you know that the Patronus Charm can only be summoned by a happy wizard." Camelia comforted him, "The happiest thing I was thinking about was you and being with everyone, so You see, my happiness has slowly come back, don't worry too much, I will be fine."

"So I'm so proud of you," Cedric said. "You know? I've always felt so lucky that the person I like just happens to like me."

"No, I think I'm the lucky one. I didn't expect you to like me. I think there are many girls like me around you, but I'm so inconspicuous." Camelia said.

Cedric refuted her, "Nonsense, you are obviously the most special one."

At this time, Camelia couldn't help but gently pushed Cedric down with her hand, because seeing his face leaning up again, she was afraid that it would be another good kiss, which would delay their time to attend the school opening banquet.

"It's better to be late, nothing is more important than you." Cedric first touched the birthmark at the corner of her eye with his lips.

In the end, Camelia quarreled with him for a while. When they arrived in the auditorium, there were already many students sitting at the long tables of their respective colleges, but the freshmen hadn't arrived yet, and the candles floating in the air above the tables lit up their faces.

"Where did you go crazy? It took so long to come here."

April asked Camelia and Cedric, who were holding hands, they laughed but didn't answer, and then Cedric gestured to Camelia and walked back to Hufflepuff's table.

Penelope pinched Camelia's flushed cheeks. At this time, even the tip of her nose was flushed, as if she had just put on a layer of blush.

Penello said: "You two have such a good relationship, you are always inseparable."

After saying this, she and April giggled at the same time. Camelia knew that they were laughing at her and Cedric, so she didn't pay much attention.

After a while, the new students were brought in by Professor Flitwick in a long line, and each of them was soaked like a soaked rat.In previous years, it was Professor McGonagall's job to put the sorting hat on the freshmen and decide which college they would go to, but for some reason, it was replaced by Professor Flitwick this year.

Professor Flitwick is a short, white-haired wizard. It is said that he has a bit of elf blood. He usually has to stand on a stack of books to reach the table in class, but this does not affect the students' respect for him in the slightest. Respect.

Even though the freshmen wear their sorting hats while sitting on a three-legged stool, Professor Flitwick still has to stand on tiptoe to put them on one by one with great difficulty. After all the freshmen are sorted, the short professor is already tired. sweat.

Camelia didn't notice Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger arriving late at the Gryffindor table until the sorting was over, and they followed closely behind. It was Professor McGonagall, and then Dumbledore started the annual opening speech again.

"Welcome!" said Professor Dumbledore, his beard gleaming in the light of the candles. "Welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year, everyone! I have a few words to say to you, and one of them is very Seriously, so I want to say it before the banquet begins."

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued.

"Those things searched the Hogwarts Express, you must have known it. We have been notified that our school will receive a number of dementors from Azkaban. They came here to perform magic the official business of the Ministry.”

He paused. Many students had already learned through their parents that Dumbledore was not happy about the dementors guarding the school.

"They will be stationed at all entrances to the school," continued Dumbledore. "During their stay, I must make it very clear that no one will be allowed to leave the school without permission. They will not be deceived by any disguise." — not even an invisibility cloak.”

He added this sentence expressionlessly, not knowing who he was deliberately warning.

"Dementors don't understand pleas or excuses by nature. So I warn each and every one of you: don't give them any excuse to hurt you. I hope the prefects, and our new Head Boys and Girls Chairman, during this period of time, you must ensure that no student will conflict with the dementors."

The place where Percy sat was quite close to Camelia and the others, and he could see it from his side. When Dumbledore mentioned "President of the Boys' Union", he puffed up his chest and looked around impressively. Camelia also noticed that Penello's fiery eyes couldn't bear to leave him at all. Her face was full of pride for her boyfriend, but she almost forgot that she was actually the president of the girls' student union.

Dumbledore paused again; he glanced gravely around the Hall, but no one moved or made a sound.

"But there is good news," he said, "this year, we welcomed two new teachers, and now we all welcome them to our team."

Lupine, who was sitting next to Professor McGonagall, stood up.

"The first is Professor Lupine, who will fill in the vacancy in Defense Against the Dark Arts."

There was a sporadic and less enthusiastic applause in the auditorium, except for those students who shared his train carriage with him, because Professor Lupine looked very shabby among all the well-dressed teachers. , In addition, the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts always changes once a year, and the ones who come are basically bulls, snakes and ghosts. Everyone has long since given up on the professor of this course.

After the less enthusiastic applause for Professor Lupine died down.Dumbledore continued: "As for the second teacher we appointed—well, I have to regret to tell you that our Protection of Magical Creatures teacher, Professor Kettleburn, retired at the end of last year. More time with his remaining little rascals. However, I am happy to say that the new teacher is none other than Rubeus Hagrid to fill the void. Hagrid has agreed to be , as a teacher.”

This time the applause from the Gryffindor table was especially enthusiastic.Camelia was also clapping vigorously to be happy for this big friend. For this reason, she leaned forward to look at Hagrid, only to see that his face was flushed and he was staring at his big hands, as if he hadn't digested it yet. Good news, and then he wiped his eyes with the tablecloth.

"Well, I think the important things have been said," said Dumbledore. "Let's eat."

As usual, the golden plates and goblets in front of the students were suddenly filled with food and drinks. The old students were used to it, but it was the first time for the freshmen, and their young eyes showed Excited, chatting happily, looking at their appearance every year always reminds me of my ignorance and ignorance when I first entered school.

Camelia felt that she was very hungry, so she took all the food she could reach, and began to eat in small bites.It was a great meal; the hall echoed with laughter and the clang of knives and forks.

Occasionally, Camelia's eyes would collide with Cedric who was sitting on the long Hufflepuff table. Put your head down and eat what's on your plate.

There is no doubt that Cedric is a very popular prefect among the freshmen, because Camelia has seen those freshmen asking him questions more than once, and there may be some whimsical questions among them, so he didn't know how to answer them for a while, so he had to He smiled helplessly at Camelia from the air, to show that he was helpless.

Another of their Hufflepuff prefects, Vanessa Hall, kept trying to get Cedric's attention, but he was either pulled over by the freshmen to ask questions, or craned his neck to look at Camille What Ya was doing, cared about how much she ate today, and when she finally didn't look at both, she just talked with her friends, which made her very annoyed, but Iris was very happy.

When the last piece of pumpkin pie disappeared on the golden plate, Dumbledore announced that everyone could go back to rest.

It is customary for the newly appointed prefects to lead the freshmen back to the lounge of their respective colleges every year and explain some necessary matters.This made April very nervous, so Camelia patted her hand and said that she would be able to do this well, and Penello temporarily imparted some experience from that year.

When Penello and April were teaching the secret, Camelia turned her head and saw Cedric was looking at her, and found that he was also preparing to take the new students back to the common room, so she gestured to him for him Cheer up, and Vanessa, who was watching Cedric by the side, naturally saw this scene, and her face darkened instantly, urging Cedric to leave quickly.

At this time, Camelia also had an idea of ​​Vanessa, thinking that Iris's worries were unnecessary, not to mention that this semester Camelia knew that Cedric was busy, not only to be a prefect, but also to be a prefect. He has to lead the Hufflepuff Quidditch team and, more importantly, prepare for his fifth-year wizarding exams.He is so busy, how can he have time to talk to the girls other than her? Of course, even if he is not busy, he will not pay more attention to them. After these months of dating, Camelia has already trusted Cedric completely. .

At breakfast the next day, Hagrid entered the hall in his moleskin overcoat, waving a dead polecat absently with one large hand.

At that time, Camelia was sitting on Hufflepuff's long table discussing the divination class with Iris. When she saw Hagrid, she greeted him, and several people around said "hi" to him, Almost all the sitting ones took Care of Magical Creatures class, so they expected Hagrid to bring them some new tricks.

"Is everything all right?" he said eagerly, stopping halfway to the teacher's desk. "Today is my first day of class! I woke up at five o'clock, everything is done, I hope it's safe and sound! I...became a teacher...To be honest...I can't believe it..."

He grinned at them, and they grinned back at him, and then he was called over by the Gryffindor table again, lingered there for a while, and then walked towards the teacher's table, but Still waving the dead polecat in his hand.

"I heard he likes big things, I really hope his class can be more interesting." Ian said.

Iris didn't take this course, so she was curious, "What were you studying before?"

Ian frowned and said, "It's nothing, they're just boring little things. Flobber caterpillars are particularly boring. They eat almost any plant, and you can't do anything except keep feeding them."

"You can't say that, I think Bowtruckles are interesting, and Niffler," Cedric added.

Camelia said: "The velvet is also very cute. Professor Kettleburn gave me one at the end of last term, and I later gave it to my brother."

Ian didn't agree with the two of them, "These are animals that girls especially like. Me, I want to see some amazing things, like fire dragons, how cool!"

"Don't even think about it! That's too dangerous!" Iris yelled while covering her face.

"Even if it's dangerous, it's much more interesting than that broken crystal ball of yours." Ian said, "By the way, you haven't been observing the astrology to calculate your love fortune recently, have you? Spend it where it's worth it."

Among the few people at present, only Iris is still taking the divination class. After persisting for a year, Ian and Cedric switched to other electives one after another, because this is a class that requires a lot of talent, and the professor Professor Trelawney of this class always likes to scare people and ask students to predict all kinds of bad luck and misfortune. As a result, many students think that this is the least worthwhile class to waste time on.

Seeing the two who were about to quarrel on the first day of the new semester, Camelia and Cedric whispered.

"If you don't say it, you will think they are a couple."

"Just get used to it. I've seen them quarreling for so many years."

As Cedric said, he handed the poured milk to Camelia.

The author has something to say:

I don't know why most people's reaction is so great when I mention be, which I never expected.
