[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

Every time after a Quidditch game, people always feel unfulfilled and continue to talk about the game just now. There are also good people who will analyze the performance of each team in the game, and sometimes even comment on each player in detail, but in Quidditch The key to victory in the game is which team catches the Snitch first, and the Seeker who catches the Snitch is naturally the focus of attention.

"I didn't expect Hufflepuff to lose this time." A Gryffindor boy said to his friend.

His friends seemed to be very optimistic about Cedric before the match like him, but they were greatly disappointed by the other party's performance, and there was a bit of resentment in his tone, "I don't think it should be, Diggory's strength is in the Above Zhang. However, his performance today is a bit bad, far worse than last time and Portby. Logically speaking, today’s weather is the most suitable for playing Quidditch, especially compared to last time.”

"That's right, it's obviously out of shape. As a Seeker, he actually made such a low-level mistake." The boy who spoke first said dissatisfiedly, "Almost didn't even dodge the Bludger."

Another person interjected, "Maybe my heart softened when I saw my opponent is so beautiful. Haha, it's normal."

"If I were him, it would be more clever to release the water, so that no one would see the carelessness."

"If you ask me, Diggory is really dissatisfied. There are already so many girls who are chasing each other all day long, and even squeezed over to compete with us for Qiu Zhang. She is the most beautiful in the school, and she also plays Quidditch. It was so good, it was perfect.”

"Come on, everyone wants to chase the most beautiful girl, but it's too inappropriate to be a gentleman at this time. I really feel sad for his team members, and there is such a perverted captain."

"Never mind that, it's a good thing for us Gryffindors that Hufflepuff lost, which means we still have a chance to win the Quidditch Cup this year." Another Gryffindor boy said They muttered loudly.

"But it's hard to say. Well, if anyone sees Oliver, go and ask him what he thinks."

Camelia heard a lot of words like this in the crowd after the game. Although she was happy to see Ravenclaw winning, she was also infected by the people sitting in the same courtyard around her at that moment, and couldn't help but let out a cry. There was a small cheer, but when he turned his head to catch a glimpse of Cedric, who was a little disappointed after getting off the broom, it was only for a moment and it was unreal from a distance, but Camelia still caught the look of loneliness in his eyes , although he quickly adjusted his mentality and led his teammates to congratulate the Ravenclaw players generously and sincerely.

Maybe he really wanted to win, Camelia thought, and unconsciously her mood began to become depressed, but she was once again looked down upon by the nosy Marietta Ackmore.

"Shafiq, I said that everyone is so happy, but you are the only one who is downcast. Could it be because you can't see autumn?"

At this time, many Ravenclaw people turned to look at Camelia. Indeed, her slightly sad expression stood out among the joyful crowd.

Seeing this, Camelia hurriedly denied, "Of course not, I never thought about it that way."

"Then why does your expression look uglier than when we lost the game?"

"I just suddenly feel a little uncomfortable..."

"Oh, isn't it uncomfortable? That's because autumn is not pleasing to the eye." Marietta said aggressively.

Hearing boos one after another around her, Camelia clenched her hands into fists unconsciously, and her voice began to tremble, "That's not the case, you misunderstood..."

But they said relentlessly: "You just don't want to see others a little bit."

She wanted to defend herself, but she knew that her weak and pale defense would not work, because no one around her would believe her words, and no one would be willing to say a word for her.People's prejudices are like a mountain. Once they are determined, they are as solid as a rock and cannot be shaken. No matter how they argue, they only want to see what they want to see and think that the facts are what they think.

On the field below, Qiu Zhang was smiling like a flower, accepting praise and attention from all directions frankly, because she was a winner, and flowers, cheers and applause were meant for winners.

Cedric, who stayed alone in the players' lounge, felt that the world was finally cleared up, allowing him to reflect on his poor performance during the game. Unlike his performance to the outside world, he didn't take the loss so lightly Feng Qing, his desire to win is extremely strong, it can even be said to be far beyond the normal level.

Ever since he was elected as the captain, he secretly made up his mind to lead Hufflepuff to create a myth comparable to that when Charlie Weasley led the Gryffindor team back then. No, maybe they can do better, he He has great ambitions and strong self-confidence, but they are not as obvious as they appear.

Now Cedric is blaming himself for catching the Snitch earlier than Cho Chang. Although Cho Chang is indeed an excellent and difficult opponent, and he has many disadvantages as a Seeker with his size, but He felt that his strength was superior to that of the opponent, but he was distracted at the critical moment, and not only that, he was almost hit by the Bludger.

Thinking of this, Cedric couldn't help but punched himself a few times. The pain made him feel a little better, but he still blamed himself, but even if he regretted what happened, he couldn't change it.

After sighing deeply, he looked at the clock hanging on the wall and found that he had been in a daze for a while, so he started to undress.

Unexpectedly, just after taking off his shirt, there was a creaking sound from behind, just when he thought it was some careless companion of his who dropped something, and turned his head to see the person who came in, he couldn't help being stunned, and the other person also had the same expression.

For a moment time seemed to stand still, until Cedric couldn't help but speak.

"Camelia?"

At this moment, Camelia, who just woke up from a dream, let out a scream, closed her eyes at a loss, bowed and apologized to Cedric, and kept saying sorry.

"Sorry, I should have knocked on the door and came in again, I shouldn't just barge in like this. I really didn't know this was a dressing room, I'm going out now, I'm really sorry!"

Since she didn't dare to open her eyes, after speaking in a hurry, she turned around and wanted to escape from the room, but she bumped her head against the wall, and a dull sound sounded in the room.

Cedric was startled, grabbed the clothes on the side, and rushed over while putting them on indiscriminately, asking, "Are you all right? Did it hurt?"

Camelia still had her eyes closed, feeling ashamed for a while, she could only hold her red and swollen forehead tightly, and shouted: "I'm fine, really, you don't need to worry about me, I'll leave right away, I'm sorry!"

"No, you don't need to apologize at all." Cedric said forcefully, "Take your hand off and let me take a look."

"It's really fine, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Miss Shafik, lying is a bad habit, I hope you don't do it again." Cedric paused, "And you can open your eyes to look at me now, I've already put on my clothes."

There are always some wound medicines in the waiting room for those Quidditch players who have been injured during training to help themselves.Cedric dug out a bottle of swelling ointment from the medicine cabinet, and pulled Camelia to sit next to him.

At Cedric's insistence, Camelia compromised and agreed to let him administer the medicine.

Taking off the black-rimmed glasses she wore on her face, folded them and put them on her lap, seeing the person she likes so close, Camelia felt breathless, her eyes widened involuntarily, and the hem of her skirt was tightly held by her hands , wrinkled into an extremely ugly ball.

Xu Shi saw her lively and interesting expression now, Cedric suppressed a smile, and he didn't laugh until he finished giving the other party the medicine with all his heart.

"Has no one ever told you? You look much cuter without glasses."

Of course, there is no one except you. Camelia only answered this question silently in her heart. Many people avoid her. They may only be interested in her birthmark covered by black-rimmed glasses, or I like to comment on her behaviors that are concealed.

"I didn't know this was the dressing room, I thought it was the one in the back." Camelia lowered her head and explained to Cedric in a low voice.

"Actually, you didn't go wrong. This is indeed a lounge, but we boys often change clothes here because we want to save trouble." Cedric said, "The main responsibility this time is on me. Since I want to change clothes here, I will The door should be locked."

He glanced at her forehead that was still swollen, and said guiltily: "It caused you to hit your head, sorry."

"No, it's my fault. When I saw the door was closed, I should have knocked on the door first..."

Camelia was about to apologize again, and there was only one thought in her mind, for fear that the other party would mistake her for a voyeur, but Cedric smiled and motioned her not to speak yet.

"Do you have the habit of keeping a diary?" He asked endlessly.

"Occasionally I write a little bit, what's the matter?" Camelia replied honestly.

"Nothing, I was just wondering how much of the apology would be in there if everything that happened between the two of us was recorded."

After Cedric finished speaking, he laughed, but Camelia was stunned, and she quickly recalled everything about herself and him in her mind.

It seemed like every time I met Cedric, something awkward happened, and a lot of the time she was embarrassed.Just like now, I accidentally bumped into him changing clothes and bumped my head.

The first time they met on the Hogwarts Express, she and her luggage fell hard in front of him. At that time, she thought that he would walk away indifferently and disgusted like those people or stand there He gloated, but he didn't, he extended a friendly hand to her in the crowded and narrow corridor.

The story seems to have started from that moment, but it has also stopped since then.

Life is not a fairy tale. Cinderella met the prince at the ball and left her crystal slipper. Since then, her life has been turned upside down. After meeting Cedric, her life has not changed. Every day Still enduring the cold eyes and ridicule from all directions, she is still the most hated person in Ravenclaw, deprived of the right to bathe in the sun, and ruthlessly expelled to a place where there is no one, but this kind of life is still broken. There was an opening, and a beam of light was accidentally let in, bringing some light to her who was curled up in the darkness.

On the Quidditch field, the stands where the Ravenclaw house was located suddenly boiled up. Faced with the sudden burst of cheers, Camelia's thoughts wandered to nowhere, and then she returned to the game.

"What happened just now? Why are you so excited? Did you score again?" She whispered to April beside her.

"Merlin's beard! Don't tell me, you were distracted just now." April said in surprise.

Seeing that April, who is not interested in Quidditch, is now so focused on watching the game, Camelia can't help but feel ashamed of her fugue just now, not to mention that this game has a close relationship with her to some extent After all, her college is competing with the team led by her boyfriend, she is the person who has the least reason to be distracted.

Seeing Camelia nodded with difficulty, April showed a helpless expression on her face, and roughly told her what happened just now.

Cedric seemed to have spotted the Snitch's position and rushed down quickly. Cho Zhang had been watching his opponent's every move since the beginning of the game, and immediately chased after him when he saw him dive.So Cedric picked up speed, and when he was only a few feet away from the Snitch, a Bludger was hit by a Ravenclaw batsman and popped out of nowhere, forcing Cedric to change direction, almost It was about to hit the Bludger, and during those critical seconds, the Snitch disappeared.

No wonder, as well as the Ravenclaw cheers for their batsman on the field, a disappointed "oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and booing can be heard from the Hufflepuff Gryffindor supporters sound, and one of the Hufflepuff batsmen seemed to vent his feelings by hitting a second bludger at the Ravenclaw attacking batsman, who was forced to roll in mid-air for a circle out of the way. .

After learning about the situation just now, Camelia asked April again, "How is the score now?"

It was Penello who answered her, "We are temporarily ahead by fifty points."

"It depends on whether we can catch the Snitch first." April interjected.

Hufflepuff was trying to get back the score, they scored two goals in one breath, and it didn't take long for Ravenclaw to make up the point with more goals one after another, and they were a big blow to them. cut.For some reason, everyone felt that the Ravenclaw team played harder than any previous game, and it seemed that they were desperate to win.

After confirming that they have an absolute lead in the score, the Ravenclaw team is no longer keen on scoring goals. The focus of the whole team has been adjusted. Golden Snitch.

As soon as Ravenclaw Chasers get the Quaffle, they aim not at the hoop guarded by the Hufflepuff Keeper, but at Cedric the Hufflepuff Seeker, Ravenclaw Even the Ravenclaw keeper joined in the action, often leaving his post temporarily to throw the quaffle once it flew out. A second throw to the Chaser so that they can quickly connect to another attack.

The team members cooperated very tacitly. Obviously, this is a new tactic they have pondered over these days. It is to keep the opponent's Seeker busy avoiding overwhelming attacks, so that they cannot focus on the Golden Snitch. Hufflepuff's score is already far ahead, and he doesn't care about the Hufflepuff's one or two goals, and puts all his treasures on the Golden Snitch. This is called taking the big from the small.

I have to say that this tactic was very successful, and Quidditch itself is a brutal sport without any special fixed rules. The Slytherin team next door will deliberately use their bodies to maliciously ram people all the year round, and use a bat to try to hit their opponents one by one. Strictly speaking, in the Quidditch world, such an evil act is not considered a foul. The key depends on how the referee views it, but the most punishment is nothing more than free throws, so using this method to hinder the opponent from finding the ball Hands, was a clever trick that was allowed, and even that was more honorable than the rude behavior of the Slytherin team.

Five minutes after Ravenclaw started the tactic, Cedric signaled Mrs Hooch to call a time-out as the Hufflepuff batsmen circled him from left to right, trying to give him all Although this will not be disturbed by Ravenclaw's attack, it still doesn't work at all, because his line of sight is blocked to death, so there is no way to find the golden snitch, and their current The score is not optimistic, and they have to keep scoring goals. If this continues, even if they catch the Golden Snitch to end the game, it will be meaningless. They are just making wedding dresses for their opponents.

In the short discussion and conversation, everyone could see that no one team had a relaxed expression on their faces, not even the temporarily leading Ravenclaw team.

Soon after Mrs. Hooch blew the whistle, the two teams immediately got on their broomsticks and continued the race.

This time, every one of the Hufflepuff players acted bravely, and the score gradually began to catch up, which made the Ravenclaw team temporarily put aside and stare at it. Cedric's tactics, without interference, Cedric quickly discovered the Golden Snitch, which is now the key to the team's victory, so he suddenly turned around and flew in that direction, Qiu Zhang also drove His own comet flew in the same direction.

Soon the distance between the two of them was only a few meters, and at the same time, everyone could clearly see a small golden thing leaping up and down in front of them, and it was already very close. It was almost right in front of their eyes, within reach.Everyone saw that first Cedric stretched out his hand, and then Qiu. Almost everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath and stare their eyes wide. Dare to come out.

At that critical moment, Davis had never reacted so quickly like at that moment. He grabbed the bat of a batter who happened to be floating beside him, swung it vigorously, and the Bludger was already heading towards Cedric flew away.Cedric, who was engrossed in the Snitch, didn't notice the danger behind him. At this moment, he only had the Snitch in his eyes, and he couldn't hear the shouts of his teammates.

After a sharp pain, his eyes went dark, and he felt his body was falling continuously. At this moment, he finally heard the anxious shouts of his teammates and the screams from the stands over there. This process did not last long, and he Lost all consciousness.

The Quidditch lounge at Hogwarts was not designed with windows when it was built, so it will make people feel a bit stuffy if you stay in it for a long time, but the advantage of having no windows is that it becomes a natural heating place in winter .

"I came to see you, just to tell you that you are a very good seeker, don't care about other people's opinions, you are really good." Camelia said to Cedric.

"Sorry, I let you down, I lost this time." Cedric said with a wry smile, "And I don't think I'm a good seeker, maybe I should have taken their advice to be a hitter or a You're a goalkeeper, you shouldn't be overreaching."

"But winning or losing a game is not the only criterion for judging a player. Is it really worthless and useless to be a loser?" Camelia asked him.

"Isn't it like this? Winning means everything, and losing means nothing."

"Of course not!"

Cedric looked at Camelia in surprise. It was the first time he had heard her speak so loudly, and her eyes had never been so determined.

"What is winning is everything? What is losing and nothing? My grandfather told me since I was a child that there is no shame in losing, but shame in not being able to lose. You can't lose everything just because you lose a game. Denying yourself who worked so hard before, if you must feel that winning is everything, then it is really meaningless."

After hearing these words, Cedric stared at the floor in the lounge and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he raised his head and smiled at Camelia, "I'm really a worthless guy, so I'm about to be knocked down, but I I really didn't expect to be taught a lesson by you in the end."

"Did I speak too hard to you just now?" Camelia said uncomfortably.

"Not at all. In fact, I think you are too gentle, and you are right." Cedric said, opening his arms and hugging Camelia vigorously. This move flattered the other party, and for a while I don't know what to do.

"Thank you, you are the second person who enlightened me like this." He leaned on her shoulder and said.

Who will be the first person?

Maybe it was Cho Chang, or Cedric wouldn't have liked her.Camelia couldn't help asking and answering in her heart. She felt sour for a while, and she simply stopped thinking about it. Maybe it was because there was no one around. Follow his example and put your head on his shoulders.

His arms are really warm.

The author has something to say:

The narrative in this chapter is a bit jumpy, because the past life and the current life plot are mixed together, so it’s not that the heroine suddenly became so humble, but because part of her is her past life, please read the article carefully, I never read this article. At the beginning, I said that the plots of the previous life will be interspersed from time to time, but the recent chapters have more plots in the present world, so the timeline should not be confused.

Supplement to the revision on August 2021, 8:

Originally, I thought about leaving two blank lines in the paragraph to convert the time, but there is an automatic typesetting in the background of the website, no matter what the format I post, it will eventually be changed to its standard, so all the posts can only be Skip a line.There is also a part of the reason why the separator is not added, because I am not sure if the separator will be swallowed by the system, and I think the complete chapter should be read smoothly, and such awkward symbols should not appear suddenly And so on, looking at the interface is not clear, the text is also divided into several pieces.

As for some readers in the comments who said they couldn’t read it, the first two comments in this chapter were the ones who commented after I finished posting the article without reminding anything in the author’s statement. If you think you can’t understand it once, you can understand it after reading it again, and I also sent it to my friends for help. They are indeed a little confused the first time, but basically they can understand it after reading it the first time. There are two timelines, and I can understand after a little bit.At that time, I hadn’t considered reminding it in the author’s statement, so I saw the first two readers’ comments, and immediately mentioned it in the author’s statement, and no readers mentioned it in the subsequent comments.And as of the time when I edited this article, this chapter has a total of more than 1000 hits, which shows that many people have not raised any questions after reading the essay.

As for the timeline switching in this chapter, it is actually quite obvious. For example, Mary and the others are sitting next to Cammy at the beginning, but it is April in the middle of the text. Getting along doesn’t look like we’ve been in a relationship at all, especially since Seid has been calling Jamie by his nickname or a very intimate name, including the glasses mentioned in the comment area. This is also what I deliberately wrote. The implication is to let everyone know that this is a different time.

I don’t know how many people are dissatisfied with this narrative technique, but I just think it makes the article more readable, because the present and the past are interspersed back and forth, like watching a movie, because My idea is that Jamie has watched the game before, so she will recall the memories vividly, just like in the movie, when the protagonist begins to fall into memories, the screen will cut to his past, and after he recalls for a while, then will suddenly come back to reality.To be honest, it is impossible to have such an effect according to the traditional narrative method, and the timeline of some novels I read on weekdays is also going around. Maybe this will be about ten years ago. I am telling you what happened a few months ago, but if you are patient, you will find that the story is very exciting, so I have always wanted to try this way of writing, but I said this not to express how much I read, but All my purpose is to make this work more exciting and the storyline more readable. Although I know that my writing is not very good, at least I am doing this seriously.

The reason why I said this is because when I was editing the article, I suddenly thought of a comment at the bottom of this chapter to explain. The attitude at the time was indeed not good, especially the previous comments of the reader made me very angry, but I didn’t want to do it for the time. I apologize for the attitude, in fact, I don't want to apologize to that reader, let alone forgive her for those comments.Although this incident has passed for a while, I still want to say that I care about this article very much. If you have tried to create it, you should know that it is not easy. I won’t talk about the specifics. It is said in a separate chapter that it is easier for a glass heart to be unable to bear this kind of thing. I will try my best to control myself in the future. I am sorry friends who read this chapter for delaying your time to read the next chapter.
