[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

On the afternoon of the weekend, Camelia hurried towards the exit of the Ravenclaw common room with a pile of Potions papers in her arms, and happened to meet the Quidditch players who had just finished training for the day.

A group of people hurriedly pushed open the door and went in without even looking at it. Camelia, who was standing at the door and finally freed a hand to open the door, was quite frightened and defenseless. She subconsciously stepped back, but she couldn't stand still, and fell to the ground fiercely, and the parchment in her hand was scattered all over the floor.

The leader is Roger Davis, the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain. He is tall, handsome, and not bad in mind. He is also an excellent Chaser. He is very popular on weekdays. What is criticized is that he is not a long-term person in his relationship.If you look at how fast Davis changes girlfriends, it's probably more frequent than the wardrobe renovation of the girl who loves to dress up the most.

This well-known playboy commanded his team members to pick up the parchment rolls all over the place, while he ran to be a good gentleman, and politely extended his hand to the lady on the ground.

Camelia did not refuse, after all, they caused her to fall, which is what she deserved, so she held Davis' hand with peace of mind, and stood up from the ground with his strength.

Then Davis sent away all the players who were standing aside watching the excitement with a few words.Those boys always had a playful smile on their faces, and before they were driven away, they still didn't forget to tease their amorous captain, maybe it was love at first sight again, which made the latter's urging voice even more urgent.

But as soon as they left, Davis turned around with a smile on his face, "Can you do it alone? If you need help, I am willing to help you at any time."

Before he got an answer, he stretched out his hand very consciously, looking very sure that Camelia would accept his kindness, just like she had held his hand a few minutes ago, but soon , he got a disappointing answer.

"No, I can do it myself, thank you." Camelia said, "You have trained so hard, you should rest more, and you don't need to go out with me for a run."

Davis had no choice but to retract the hand that he stretched out out of impatience just now with a little embarrassment, and said vaguely, "Ah, for the common honor of Ravenclaw, hard training should be done."

This time Camelia didn't say anything, just smiled back at him, and left with her homework in her arms, leaving Davis alone to watch her leave. Like his teammate just said, he seems to be in love again.

The potions classroom was located under the bunker, which was always the coldest place in the castle.The glass bottles soaked in all kinds of animal specimens are placed along the wall. Even if they stay for a long time, they always make people feel creepy. In addition, the teacher who teaches this course is Professor Snape, a Hogwart He is recognized as one of the meanest professors by students, and almost no one except Slytherin students would like to meet him outside of the classroom.

Because of this, almost no one is willing to come to this classroom except for class on weekdays, especially now that the weather is cold.So collecting everyone's potions class homework and putting it in the potions classroom is a drudgery that no one is willing to do, but usually such thankless tasks will be pushed to Camelia, in the words of those people Well, who made her the student that Snape valued most in this class of Ravenclaw.

It was a little surprising that even though it was the weekend, there were two junior students who were seriously brewing potions in the classroom at this time, but when Camelia saw Snape was also in the classroom, she understood what they were doing. The reason for being so studious, she thought to herself, no wonder.

In addition to being mean to students in class, Snape would catch a few students who performed poorly in class from time to time and give them extra tutoring after class.It's not so much counseling, it's better to say that he was caught and punished by being in a bad mood because of his bad luck.Because many students did not learn much under such guidance, and without exception, they were scared to tears.But I have to say that no matter who you are, you have had the fear of being dominated by Potions and Professor Snape in your first year.

After realizing someone came in, Snape just looked up at the person, nodded, then continued to lower his head to reprimand the round-faced Gryffindor boy. He seemed to have added the wrong material just now, and it seemed that It wasn't the first time he made a mistake.

The other junior was a Hufflepuff girl with two braids, who was shaking and stirring the contents of the cauldron.

After giving them a sympathetic look, Camelia walked quickly to the oak bookcase, opened the door, and put all the collected homework on the third-grade shelf.Standing next to the bookcase is a locked locker, which stores various raw materials that may be used in making potions during class.

After doing this, Camelia walked outside, and when she passed by the Hufflepuff girl, she found that she was still in a hurry, and seemed to have no idea what she was going to do next, so she kindly whispered a reminder .

"The light color is due to not adding enough shells to the giant snail."

Hearing this, the girl immediately added some crushed giant snail shells to the bubbling potion, and stirred a few times according to the direction specified in the operation, and the color changed after a while. Exactly what Snape had asked for.

Just as the Hufflepuff girl cast a grateful look at Camelia, Snape's voice suddenly sounded between the two.

"Shafiq, I think you should have left early instead of dawdling here, otherwise it will be easy for people to think that you are going to do something bad."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the side of the girl, leaned over to take a look at the potion in the cauldron, and then slowly raised his head, still looking at Camelia with unfriendly eyes.

"You are so active, do you want to share the work for me? Or is it out of vanity to show off your knowledge in front of two ignorant junior students?"

"Neither, Professor, I think you have misunderstood me, I just..."

His voice was much louder than before, and his gaze became sharper, "Shafiq, I thought no one would know better than you that people don't like those who think they are smart!"

"Yes, Professor, you are right."

Few students would argue with the unreasonable Professor Snape, and Camelia was naturally not that stupid, so she simply kept her mouth shut, lest she accidentally say something terrible and offend this vicious professor. The uncertain professor is about to lose his temper again.

"In this case, why do you still stay here and not leave? Do you want me to deduct points for Ravenclaw? If you don't want to, then go out now. And Ebo, you can go too. I hope Longbottom Will be as lucky as you, and some smart-ass guy will come and tell him, but it's useless to tell him more with that head."

After he finished speaking, he gave the two girls another meaningful look, and then walked back to the boy he called Longbottom. At this time, the poor little boy was shaking all over, obviously frightened.

"Thank you." The Hufflepuff girl couldn't wait to thank her after she walked out of the classroom.

"You don't need to be so polite. In fact, if I didn't remind you, you would have noticed the problem soon." Camelia smiled and stepped on the stone stairs leading to the ground with her.

The girl blushed and shook her head, "No, I wouldn't have noticed, if it wasn't for you, I would most likely have screwed up, even if the potion was about to succeed. But when I saw Professor Snape, I didn't know Why do I get nervous, I tend to make mistakes easily when I’m nervous, and what I want to say is that I don’t agree with the professor’s words.”

Seeing that Camelia was a little confused, she hurriedly explained: "Just now the professor said that you are deliberately showing off your knowledge... I don't think you are the kind of person he said, you seem so friendly. As a teacher, I don’t think he should say that about his students.”

Her indignant words made Camelia burst into a smile, "You're not a little brave, discussing your Potions teacher so close to the Potions classroom, you won't be afraid of being heard by him and arrest you Locked up."

I don't know if it was because of guilty conscience, this Hufflepuff girl turned her head subconsciously, lest Professor Snape was standing behind her, and was ready to bring her to justice, but fortunately, what she worried about didn't happen, everything Still so harmonious and peaceful.

"I didn't worry about it. After all, everyone knows that he is Professor Snape. Although he is indeed unreasonable sometimes, there are many respectable things about him. And I said you...that you... ..."

Camelia paused, then laughed and said, "Ah! I didn't realize until now that I still don't know what to call you?"

"Hannah Abbott, the second year of Hufflepuff. You can just call me Hannah, and you don't need to introduce yourself to me. I know you. You are the first in your class. Not only do you have good grades And he's also pretty."

The girl named Hannah started to feel embarrassed again after she finished speaking. At this time, Camelia realized that she seemed to be shy easily, so she dismissed the idea of ​​asking her why she knew about herself, but it was more because she didn't want to make fun of herself .

Most of the people who knew her at Hogwarts had probably heard those unreliable rumors, and many of them believed her to be true.Camelia has long been used to being surrounded by all kinds of strange eyes, but she can see that Hannah Abbott is different from those people, her eyes are filled with pure friendliness.

"Let's not be so unfamiliar, I'm only a year older than you, so you can call me Camelia."

"Oh, can you?"

"Of course, you let me call you Hannah, didn't you?"

She said and blinked with Hannah, but she didn't want the other party to be a little shy.

After walking up from the bunker, the air became much fresher, and the sunlight just hit the entrance of the bunker. It was bright and dark, and it looked like two worlds.

When the warm sunshine hit his body, it brought warmth and at the same time took away the grievances he had just suffered in the potions classroom, and all the bad moods disappeared in an instant.

The two girls crossed the yellowing lawn in front of the castle, and walked side by side on the path beside the black lake. From time to time, you could see the huge tentacles of the giant squid sticking out of the lake on the sparkling lake. , every touch of it can make a big splash.

The trail was covered with fallen brown leaves that hadn't been cleaned up yet. The little feet of the two girls wearing leather shoes stepped on it, and there was a crisp sound from the soles of their feet from time to time, which was the sound of broken leaves.

Hannah Abbott is a lovely and simple girl, she twitters like a happy little sparrow, most of the time Camelia is listening to her with a smile, it only took a while for the two to get acquainted .

A girl of Hannah's age is just at the stage of being carefree enough to make people envious. The biggest suffering that can be thought of in the mind of that day is nothing more than bad homework, being made things difficult by mean teachers, and being mischievous. Apart from being scolded by their mother for being ignorant, what they firmly believe is that this world is a beautiful place.

Although this is an age that loves to cry, it is easy to turn sadness into joy immediately because of a candy or other simple things.

They spent a pleasant afternoon by the Black Lake that day, and they walked back to the castle until they saw the afterglow of the setting sun.

When walking in the corridor closest to the greenhouse, both of them heard someone calling Hannah's name, so they turned and looked over

The distance is a bit far, but it can be seen that there are two Hufflepuff boys, and the shorter one is waving at Hannah excitedly, with a flushed face as if he has some important discovery and is eager to share it with her, while he The tall Hufflepuff beside him was none other than Cedric Diggory, whom Camelia dared not see.

Hannah quickly recognized her friend, and was about to pull Camelia to her side, as if intending to introduce her to her friend, but Camelia had already seen through Hannah's intentions, so she She hurriedly pretended that she still had something to do, and shied away with Hannah saying that she would wait until next time, then hurriedly said goodbye, turned around and left, and she quickly turned into another corridor with a relatively large number of people.

But for some reason, even after doing so, Cedric still followed.

"Hey, the lady in front, please wait." He yelled without hesitation under the eyes of everyone.

Of course Camelia recognized that it was Cedric's voice, and knew that he was calling her, but she still deliberately pretended not to know anything, and kept walking forward.Because the two of them were not alone in this corridor, she believed that if she acted stupid enough, if she walked fast enough, no one would know who Cedric was calling.

But Cedric shouted again from behind: "Please wait, Miss Shafik in front!"

It was useless to pretend to be stupid now, so she had to stop, turned around and waited for Cedric to rush in front of her.

"Are you calling me?" She tried to make her voice sound calm.

"Is there another Miss Shafik besides you in Hogwarts?" Cedric narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

Damn it!Indeed not, Camelia couldn't help muttering in her heart.

Camelia asked, "What's the matter?"

But he didn't rush to say what it was, but looked around first.

"I don't mind changing the place first, then we can talk."

Although this corridor is more open than on school days because of the weekend, there is still a lot of people passing by, and at the same time, people passing by will almost subconsciously look at them once or twice, just because it is Cedric, after all, who They all have a gossip heart.

I don't know if she was bewitched by Cedric's smile, but Camelia obediently followed behind him after saying "oh".

Cedric didn't stop until he confirmed that there was no one around in a remote and uninhabited corner. At this time, Camelia began to ask him again.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?"

But the other party's answer made her puzzled or unexpected.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just wanted to come over and say hello to you."

"You said you just chased me the whole corridor just to say hello?" Camelia couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, which made her round eyes even bigger.

But Cedric immediately grasped the point from this sentence, "Since you know I'm behind you, why don't you pay any attention to me?"

This made Camelia speechless for a while. She couldn't tell Cedric directly that she was avoiding him on purpose and didn't want to have any contact with him.

"But we don't know each other well..." After thinking about it, she could only use this kind of bad excuse to prevaricate.

"I thought we were already friends." Cedric spread his hands, with a hint of loss and helplessness in his tone.

"But we only met once and talked a few words, so we can't be considered friends."

"Okay, I was sloppy. But we are both Hogwarts students. Even if we are not in the same grade, we are still classmates. Isn't it common for classmates to meet and say hello?"

This logic does make sense, and it makes perfect sense, but what Camelia didn't expect was that he would actually be serious about it.

"Yes, but very few people at Hogwarts will take the initiative to say hello to me."

Cedric was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uh, you might as well include me in the future, I mean the few people who will greet you proactively."

But Camelia didn't answer his words, which made Cedric suddenly feel nervous for no reason, and wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but only then did he realize that he was even worse at it than he knew himself. Talk to girls.

After thinking for a long time, Cedric coughed a few times to hide his nervousness before speaking, "I saw you and Aibo together, where did you two ladies stay all afternoon?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around the Black Lake." Camelia said to him casually.

"I stayed in the greenhouse all afternoon, helping Professor Sprout take care of the mandrakes. Although it was through the earmuffs, I could still hear the singing of those little guys. I think these earmuffs are only effective for noise, Anyway, me and Ernie, the boy you just met, listened to the Mandrake singing all afternoon."

"Really? It sounds interesting."

Perhaps only Merlin knew how much Cedric had worked so hard to think about such a topic, so he tried very hard to continue this hard-won topic. , Cedric was relieved.

"Actually, it's not very light-hearted, because their songs are honestly not that pleasant. Of course, you can't expect these little guys to sing as well as merfolk."

Cedric couldn't help laughing while talking, and he didn't know why he laughed, but the strange thing was that he found that he seemed to be involuntarily happy when he saw Camelia.

"So you've ever heard a mermaid sing?"

"Maybe, but it must have happened when I was very young. I can't remember clearly. Because of Dad's work, I have seen many magical animals, and some of them are only seen in textbooks."

His father, Amos Diggory, worked in the Department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic. Cedric could not help but be a little proud to mention it at this time, but regretted it as soon as he said it.He had been brought up to tell him he shouldn't, that showing off that knowledge would make him look a little arrogant, and he remembered his mother teaching him to always be humble in front of outsiders.

He thought to himself, no girl would like a megalomaniac, ah, of course, no one would like it.

Because of this, he glanced at Camelia a little uneasy, only to find that she lowered her head and smiled.

"Then you can envy me, because I have heard the mermaid sing, and I still remember it clearly."

Cedric was stunned for a while, and then laughed along with her. He knew that his old problem was committed, and it was obviously just a trivial matter.

"You seem to be in a good mood today, that's great." Cedric looked at Camelia's smiling face and said seriously.

"What?" she said.

"Because every time I see you, you seem to be preoccupied." Cedric tried his best to make his words sound casual, "I know you are going to say that we have only met a few times. But I have recently God, I am indeed paying attention to you."

Before Camelia could speak, he continued.

"Please don't get me wrong, I just paid a little attention to the long table of Ravenclaw during the meal time every day. Haven't you noticed? There are a few classes occasionally, and we will pass each other when the class is over. But you don't seem to notice me every time."

There was a little grievance in his gray eyes when he said that, but the charming smile on his face seemed completely unaffected. If it were any other girl, she would fall into it immediately, but Camelia was not moved. His heart broke him.

"Digory, I don't care what your reason is, please stop doing this, don't pay attention to me anymore, and stay away from me, it's a good thing for you."

"Is it okay to listen to my explanation first? I really don't have any malice, I just have something I don't know how to talk to you, so this makes me look like a... What I want to say is that I have been looking for a suitable opportunity I want to tell you this, I've been thinking about how to tell you since I met you last time, but... remember what I told you? I'm not good at talking to girls, so I put it off until now, I I'm afraid it will be too late if I don't say it, but as you can see, I didn't realize until now that I seem to be worse at this kind of thing than I thought."

"I don't understand what I have to force you to do this for me?"

Camelia shrank back subconsciously, but she took a few steps back, and Cedric took a few steps forward. At this time, the two of them seemed to be sawing wood. After pulling back and forth for a few rounds, The original distance has always been maintained between them.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a blind spot and there was no way to escape, Camelia would have run away. If it wasn't for the conditions not being allowed, it was just that her intention was too obvious, and Cedric could see it at a glance.

For this reason, he showed a helpless smile, "Miss Shafik, I just want to make friends with you, other than that, I have no plans for you, let alone worry about you, so you can be friends with me ?"

This sentence is so familiar. Camelia heard it a long time ago. She doesn't remember how she felt at that time, but what she remembers clearly is that she agreed.That's right, how could she refuse, the light on Cedric's body was so dazzling, that was what she had longed for, how could she refuse.

At this time, she thought of the past and what those people said.

"Do you know what I saw just now? Digory actually took the initiative to talk to Shafik."

"Digory is willing to talk to her? Are you sure you read it right? Couldn't it be Shafik who stalked him with a shameless face? Is she worthy?"

"Who knows, but the two of them seem to have a good relationship, they should be friends. But the question is why did Digory want to be friends with her? How did she do it?"

"Simple, pretend to be pitiful and sell miserably. Digory should be pitying her. Who doesn't know that he is a well-known good man, and his sympathy may overflow for a while. I just don't know what Qiu thinks. After a good relationship, the result is The boyfriend is still missed by this kind of person."

"It's really shameless. Let's talk about it, should we try it too? You know, it's Diggory. But I am convinced that Qiu can be with Diggory, but I just can't understand Shafik pestering other boyfriends. put."

"Then see if you can compare with Shafiq. She is really an expert in this area, no one else can compare. I'm afraid that Qiu will not know that she has been tricked by her."

What they didn't know was that one of the people they were talking about was standing at the door and heard it clearly.But even if they knew, what they said in front of her might be even more ugly and unbearable than this.

Camelia doesn't think she is a greedy person, all she wants is to be redeemed in this friendship, so that she can feel that she is still a normal person, but the world just wants to give her unwarranted charges, It was only later that she realized that there is no savior in this world, no one can save her, only herself can save her.

Camelia, who came back to reality from the memories, thought about it, and finally said with a wry smile: "Why do you want to make friends with me? Keep in touch with me less, lest you will be implicated by me, my reputation is bad, you I should have inquired about it these days."

If it had been a mistake from the beginning, once she stepped into a circle that she would never get out of, then she didn't want to go through it again, she was already tired.

"You're not that kind of person. I don't believe those rumors. I only believe what I see." The good-tempered Cedric became abnormally excited.

Of course Camelia believed that Cedric would not lie, but she didn't want to gamble again. The line between them should never have been crossed. Maintaining the status quo is good for everyone, and she has already planned this time I will only stand behind him, do what I should do well, and then silently watch him continue his life and have the bright future he deserves.

"Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily what you see."

"Who said I only see it with my eyes, I also use my heart to experience it."

It was so nice to say that, only then did she find out that he not only had a face that made all the girls in school fascinated by him, but also had a glib mouth, just like that, he also said that he was not good at talking to girls , It turned out to be a lie.

But now is not the time to think about such nonsense.

"Anyone would be your friend if you wanted to. After all, you are the Cedric Diggory that everyone praises."

Cedric shook his head, "No, you're wrong, not everyone is willing to be my friend, I'm not so arrogant yet. Besides, you standing in front of me are just refusing My request?"

"I mean the ones other than me."

"Why except you?" He asked puzzled.

But the other party just bit his lower lip and said nothing, which made him feel frustrated, the usual smile on his face could no longer be held at this moment, he looked up at the sky in disappointment, and his voice seemed a little dull.

"Have I done anything to be sorry to you before? Why do you resist me so much? Do you hate me?"

"No, you are fine, and I don't hate you." Camelia quickly denied, of course he was fine, so good that she dared not stand by his side.

"Then why are you... are you afraid of me? I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't use this word to describe it, but your reaction gives me the feeling that you are afraid of me. I don't know what is in me The place is scary, am I growing too tall?"

Of course Camelia knew that the last sentence was a joke. She didn't expect that he, who was constantly rejected, was not as angry as ordinary people. He was still stubbornly making the last attempt, and even wanted to use some humorous words to ease the atmosphere.

"Of course not...the problem is not here, but me..."

"What's the problem? Please tell me, I can solve it." He immediately expressed his opinion.

"If you have experienced what I have experienced, you will understand my choice now." Camelia could not explain the reason to him, she could only say so bluntly.

"But for me, there are too many things about you that I don't know. Of course I can't understand, but I will respect your choice. But forgive me, I am really unwilling to do so. If possible, can you give May I have a chance?"

For some reason, the wind suddenly became very strong at this time, so strong that you could see the tall flags hanging on the Quidditch field in the distance, and they were about to be blown away, but no matter how loud the wind was, Cedric still couldn't say a single word. Almost fell into Camelia's ears.

He said, "Give me a chance to get to know you better? I want to know about you."

What Camelia, who was standing opposite him, didn't know was that Cedric's heart was in turmoil at this moment. He was wondering if he was crazy, to be so urgent, and desperately wanted to understand the girl in front of him. All things, maybe really crazy.
