[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

Sirius was half covered with an invisibility cloak, the Time-Turner was already hanging around his neck, and the small hourglass gleamed in the dimness.

"Come--"

He hung the chain around Camelia's neck.

"Ready?" he asked in a low voice.

After getting Camelia's answer, Sirius started to turn the hourglass. His hands were hidden under the cloak, so he couldn't see how many times he turned.

Soon the dark ward disappeared, and so did the three of Harry. Sirius and Camelia felt their bodies flying backwards rapidly, blurred colors and shapes flashed by, and their eardrums gradually began to twitch. It swells, like something is banging inside.

During this period, Sirius opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't hear his own voice at all.Then he felt his feet hit solid ground, and everything became clear again.They were in an empty corridor, a beam of golden sunlight shone on the floor through the glass window next to them.

As soon as Camelia landed, she hurriedly turned her head to look at Sirius next to him. Because he was covered with an invisibility cloak, only his head was suspended in the air, which looked very scary.And because the chain of the hourglass is not long enough, coupled with the huge disparity in height between the two, the thin golden chain tightly strangles the neck, making it difficult for people to even breathe smoothly.So Camelia immediately stood on tiptoe and took the chain off Sirius' neck. He seemed to have not recovered from the short time travel he had just experienced.

"I'll keep this here for now." Camelia said, "Also, Mr. Black, please tell me, how many times have you turned the hourglass?"

Faced with this question, Sirius actually couldn't give an accurate answer, "Six times? Eight times? Or nine times? I can't remember clearly, it is possible to turn around ten times."

He was so unreliable, so Camelia had to check the watch on her wrist and guess the number of times based on the time. Fortunately, she paid attention to the time before letting the time go backwards.

"The current time is more than three o'clock in the afternoon, which means that we have gone backwards for a full seven hours." Camelia's gaze slowly shifted from the watch to the bright and bright sun outside the window, "Turning around is one hour backwards, So you made a total of seven spins."

"Really? It takes an hour to turn around, and I thought it would take me 10 minutes to turn back." Sirius couldn't help but look around the bright corridors around, then patted his head and said suddenly, "I said, We should only be back an hour or two, and it shouldn't be this bright."

"I thought you knew... Well, it's my fault that I didn't think carefully about it, and I didn't understand it with you in advance." Camelia sighed, "I don't know where we are going to find Pettigrew at this time, so that Just in case, let's wait until night to act. And Mr. Black, please put on the invisibility cloak first, remember not to take it off easily no matter what happens, if someone finds you, you will be in trouble."

Sirius obediently pulled up the invisibility cloak and wrapped his head in it, and now he is completely invisible.

"What are we going to do next?" he asked in a low voice.

Camelia was thoughtful, "Let me think about it, at this time, Harry and the others should be taking exams, and Aurora and I are in Hagrid. I think we'd better go to Hagrid to guard Yes, but Dumbledore said that wearing an invisibility cloak will not hide from the group of dementors. It is still daytime, so it is relatively safe for you to stay in the castle, because dementors are not allowed in the castle Yes, especially during the day when the students are up. If we're going outside the castle, you'll have to transform, but if it's a transformation, you'd better not be seen by anyone in the castle."

Since Sirius is still a dangerous fugitive wanted by the Ministry of Magic, almost everyone thinks that he is a heinous and unforgivable criminal. Even Muggles have heard that he is a dangerous person. It caused great panic, even if he was deformed and not many people would recognize him, he couldn't be taken lightly.

What's more, they are still time travelers now. Apart from ensuring that they cannot be seen by themselves in this time period, they must always be on guard against being noticed by others. Disturbing the order of time and space is a big taboo, so every step they take now All must be treated with caution.

After weighing things up, Camelia said: "Then let's wait until a little later, when the sky is getting dark, so we won't be noticed easily, so let's wander around the castle to pass the time. "

The exam has not yet ended at this time, so most of the students stay in the exam room, and those seniors who have finished the exam are asked to stay in the college's lounge or library and other clean places as much as possible, and don't run to the classroom To interfere with the lower grade exams, so now the castle is quieter than usual.

When Camelia and Sirius were talking, no one passed by them, otherwise they would not have the courage to talk directly in the corridor.Moreover, Camelia is sure that not many people know that she and Aurora ran out, and she will not run back suddenly during this period of time, so now she can rest assured and boldly hang out with Sirius in the castle without worrying at all People will find themselves in two different places at the same time.

At the same time, although he was eager to catch Pettigrew Peter, Sirius was very annoyed when he saw that he had done a bad thing when he came up. For so many years, Zikaban had never stepped into this place that carried his countless beautiful memories, and for a while, he felt mixed feelings and sadness came from it.

Remembering Camelia's advice, Sirius wrapped himself tightly with an invisibility cloak, and he felt fortunate that in this way, he could hide his lonely expression unreservedly under the invisibility cloak Don't worry about being looked at by Camelia, who is his junior, and laughing at the fact that Padfoot, which made many wizards frightened back then, is such a hypocritical person.

But if hypocrisy is useful, if it can be exchanged for his best friend, if it can be exchanged for the time spent in Azkaban these years, then Sirius thinks he will be willing, he is willing to be laughed at forever as a hypocritical ghost, if If I could replace them with the prongs...

Just as he was thinking this way, there was a sound of footsteps in the empty corridor, and Sirius immediately tightened his invisibility cloak vigilantly and remained silent.

It turned out to be Madam Pomfrey.

"Shafik, who were you talking to just now?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

Camelia said calmly: "Ma'am, no one, I met Peeves. This troublemaker just wanted to scare me, but I drove him away."

"He's a real pain in the ass, isn't he?"

Camelia nodded, it seemed that Ms. Pomfrey did not have any doubts about her.

"Okay, are your exams over?" Madam Pomfrey asked with concern.

"Yes, it was over yesterday afternoon," said Camelia.

"Then why don't you stay in the lounge and rest? Is there anything uncomfortable about coming to my place?" She frowned when she said this.

It wasn't until Ms. Pomfrey said this that Camelia and Sirius noticed that they happened to be located near the school hospital, and Ms. Pomfrey seemed to be going to her office.But this is reasonable, because the starting point of their going back in time just now is in the ward, so it is normal for them to show up near the school hospital.

"Yes, I want to ask you to get some wound medicine, because I accidentally fell down today." Camelia pulled the hem of her robe to show Madam Pomfrey, "Don't worry, I've already done it myself. I have the medicine, but I don't have much medicine left, so I want to ask you for some."

"How did you fall like this? You're always so careless, kid Digory doesn't know how to pay more attention to you."

Ms. Pomfrey's voice was full of reproach and distress, but after she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and went in to get the medicine, nagging while taking it. If other students came to see the doctor, she would rarely say anything about them, often I did my job well without saying a word, but when I met regular customers like Camelia, I had too much contact with them, and I almost treated them as my own children in my heart. They worry.

After leaving the school hospital, Sirius asked after checking that there was no one around, "Where are we going now?"

"Go to the kitchen and eat something. I haven't eaten anything all night. I'm going to starve to death. How about you?"

Sirius chuckled, "I was so hungry that I caught mice and ate them, you know that."

Thinking of the big black dog she met in the Forbidden Forest, Camelia couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, if I knew you were an Animagus at that time, maybe there wouldn't be as many things as now."

"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for taking care of you during that time. The mice really don't taste good at all." Sirius said.

Unknowingly, they had reached the mural at the entrance of the kitchen while they were talking. Camelia stretched out her index finger and scratched the big emerald green pear. Amidst the pear's giggles, the kitchen door slowly opened. up.

Pushing open the door, a house elf rushed to Camelia impatiently. When she saw that the elf who rushed to her was Coco, Camelia suddenly understood something.

Because I forgot to ask Sirius what he likes to eat before coming in, and it is inconvenient for him to talk now, so Camelia had to order a bunch of food according to Cedric's taste and appetite. She also asked it to go to Lupin's office after dinner, because the professor felt that his office was a little untidy recently, and after Coco agreed, she ran to prepare food for them.

They chose a remote location to ensure that the elves working in the kitchen could not see Sirius, so that he could take off his invisibility cloak for a while and eat.

After eating something, Sirius' complexion improved a lot, and he was no longer so pale and ugly.

"I just remembered that I know your father. Erwin Shafik, if I remember correctly, he is from Ravenclaw, isn't he?" Sirius said while eating, "Me, than He's a few years younger. I have to say your father was a very good Seeker, and when he was at school, Ravenclaw always won the Quidditch Cup. But I'd say James is also a very good player Seeker, it's just a pity that your father had already graduated by the time James entered the academy team. You know who I'm talking about, right? James Potter, Harry's father."

Camelia said: "I've heard a little about Mr Potter."

Sirius nodded in relief, "So have you ever seen your father play Quidditch? We all thought he would play professionally in the future."

"He couldn't fight a long time ago. Before I was born, he was warned not to ride a broom for life because he broke his spine. He was almost paralyzed."

Sirius said regretfully: "It's really a pity, because his strength is really great."

Camelia said: "So Dad switched to golf, but he still likes Quidditch very much and has been sponsoring the team over the years."

Sirius listened a little attentively, held up the half-bitten bread in his hand and asked, "Then how did he fall to the spine? Did he fall off the broom? Or was there some accident?"

"I don't know much about this incident. It seems to have something to do with my mother. A friend of my mother told me that not long after this happened to my father, my mother agreed to marry him. But they never mentioned them to me. How did they get together, in my memory they often quarreled endlessly because of me." Camelia shook the cup filled with pumpkin juice, "I don't know if Dad regrets meeting Mom, because it seems If he hadn't met his mother, then he could continue to play his beloved Quidditch, and his mother would have a happier life, let alone me..." This burden, Camelia didn't forget the following few days Say the word out, just keep it in your heart and say it silently.

"If it was me, I would definitely regret it to death, hahaha, but..." Sirius suddenly withdrew his smile and said seriously with a smile, "I really don't know what your father would think, but As for James, I think I can guess his mind at once. If you look at this matter from the perspective of a husband and father, he must not regret it. At least your mother is agreeing to marry him At that moment, I think he must not feel regretful, and after they have you, they should not think about anything and then regret it."

Thinking of the attitude of her parents, who were afraid that they were a gluey couple back then, and now they have decided not to communicate with each other, Camelia said listlessly: "I hope..."

Sirius hissed her not to talk to him, and put the cloak back on because someone was coming.

As soon as someone came, the house elves would enthusiastically run over to provide services. Because the voice sounded familiar, Camelia couldn't help turning her head to look at the door.

"Jamie, why did you come here alone?" Cedric also found Camelia sitting in the corner, which surprised him, because he knew that his girlfriend was terrified of getting fat. The number of times she goes to the kitchen is also very small, almost every time he pulls her over.

Camelia was afraid that he would come over and sit opposite her, where Sirius was sitting now, so after realizing that Cedric had noticed her, she quickly got up and threw herself into Cedric's arms, Looking at him coquettishly, "What else can you do in the kitchen besides eating? You fool."

"Aren't you hungry? I asked you to eat more at noon, but you didn't listen." Cedric held her face in his hands and said, "But if you starve yourself thin, I will be the most distressed in the end."

Camelia bowed her head guiltily and played with Cedric's tie, "What about you? Are you hungry too?"

"Come here and hand over the food list for the evening party, so that the elves can prepare it early for us, and bring some small cakes back by the way." Cedric said with a smile, "It's almost time for afternoon tea, come and have a seat with us Would you like a cup of tea?"

"No, I have something to do later." Camelia immediately refused, but her performance was too straightforward without any hesitation, which made Cedric a little disappointed, probably because he didn't expect his girlfriend to reject him so decisively.

Seeing Cedric's unhappy look, Camelia hurriedly explained, "Because I have to help Hagrid with Buckbeak, the Ministry of Magic sent someone to kill him today."

Cedric suddenly forgot that Camille refused his loss just now, and began to worry about Buckbeak's fate, "Did it be decided so suddenly? Merlin! Poor Buckbeak. Is there anything I can do to help you?" ?"

"You don't have to worry about this at all, Hagrid and I will save it."

It took a long time for Cedric to relax his brows, and he hugged Camelia tightly and said, "Okay, I believe you."

Camelia also hugged him back, and whispered, "It's getting late, I'm leaving."

Cedric said: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back with good news. But don't forget the party tonight, I'll wait for you in the hall."

For a moment, Camelia was in a difficult situation, because she didn't want to reject Cedric so many times, but there was no way.

"Sorry, Seid, I'm afraid I can't go there either, because I have to do something for Professor Snape at that time."

Originally thought that Cedric would be angry with her, but he didn't mean to blame him, he just smiled at her helplessly, spread his hands and said: "So my Miss Felix is ​​going to change her name to Hogwarts now." Are you busy?"

Hearing him joke about the title again, Camelia blushed, "I've said it all, don't keep giving me such weird nicknames."

Cedric was afraid that people would be angered by him, so he immediately said, "Don't be angry, I won't take it from now on."

"You always say later..." Camelia muttered, but she didn't notice that Cedric was approaching. When she found out, their faces were about to touch each other.

"Jamie, there is something dirty on your face, I'll wipe it off for you," he said.

Camelia, who had just let go of her defenses, received an attacking kiss from Cedric on the cheek in the next second. Because she really didn't expect it beforehand, she was taken aback, and the conditioned reflex jumped out of Cedric's arms , Cedric was delighted to see her frightened appearance.

"Really, we've been together for so long, and we're still so shy."

"Because someone was watching!" In desperation, Camelia almost shook Sirius out, but now she really felt ashamed and ashamed, because Sirius must have been watching the interaction between the two of them.

"Where is anyone here? Why didn't I see it?" Cedric still said with a smile.

Since she couldn't say Sirius, Camelia pouted and signaled Cedric to look at the hard-working house elves behind her, but things went against her wishes, and Cedric didn't hold back a little because of this, but hugged her more arrogantly, He kissed him several more times.

"They only focus on their work and don't care about us. I kissed my girlfriend generously, not someone else. There is no need to hide this matter."

After walking some distance from the kitchen, Sirius opened his mouth lazily, as if on purpose.

"So the Digory Madam Pomfrey refers to refers to this kid."

"Yes, he is my boyfriend, and his name is Cedric Diggory."

"You don't have to explain it to me, I've already seen it."

I don't know why Sirius has to speak in a long tone like Malfoy usually, maybe everyone thinks that this way of speaking is more irritating.

"How is this kid? He's a Hufflepuff. Why don't you find a Gryffindor? Hufflepuff boys are honest, but I think courage is the measure a boy……"

Who would have thought that Sirius Black, who looked vicious on the wanted notice, was actually a gossip in private.

Camelia couldn't bear to listen to him now, and it was very rare for her elders to interrupt politely, "Sir, I can assure you that his bravery is not inferior to any Gryffindor, and He's a fine boy, not only a prefect, but the Quidditch captain of his house."

"That's it, what a pity." Sirius sighed.

"What's the pity?" Camelia asked curiously.

"I was thinking that Harry, a silly boy, might not have a chance."

Camelia ignored him. In fact, she had already noticed Harry's little thought about her, but she always regarded him as a little brother and had no other thoughts. After a few years, he would grow up a little bit. Maybe he will understand what liking is when he is older, and there will be girls who are more worthy of his liking around him.

For a while, none of them spoke. After a while of silence, Sirius suddenly spoke.

"That boy named Cedric sounds a bit like your father. He was also a prefect and the Quidditch captain back then."

Camelia didn't pay attention to his words, she just looked at the sky outside and the time, "Let's go to Hagrid's hut, you can prepare to transform."

The author has something to say:

Originally, this part was planned to be divided into two chapters, but I have been a little busy recently, and I can't finish it in a while, so I will divide it into three chapters.
