[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory
Chapter 5 5. Than
For a while, Camelia received informal psychotherapy in an elegantly decorated corner coffee shop in Paris.That was several months after she dropped out of Hogwarts. After declining her family's suggestion to transfer to Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France to continue her education as an ordinary wizard, she gave away her wand, spellbook and Hogger. Watts' school uniform was locked into the box, and she buried her past in the wizarding world one by one. In order not to think of those pains again, she decided to cut off everything related to magic.
The manager of the coffee shop, Nora Roland, is Camelia's mother's classmate in Beauxbatons and her friend for many years. This Muggle-born witch went to a Muggle university for further study after completing her studies in magic. She majored in psychology. After graduation, she worked in a hospital for a while, but quit soon after, and then happily ran a coffee shop by herself.
Nora is an easy-going and cheerful person, always full of enthusiasm for life, and can easily infect the people around her with happiness, so Camelia's mother firmly believes that this old friend can help her suffer from depression in some ways The sick daughter rekindled her interest in life, and after discussing with her old friend, she sent Camelia there.
The store is always filled with the smell of freshly baked bread and rich and mellow coffee. It smells the same as happiness. Camelia, who was first tricked by her mother, stayed there for a few days. I fell in love with this warm feeling.
Although Nora was entrusted by Camelia's mother to help relieve Camelia's depression symptoms and help her adapt to a life of being a Muggle without relying on magic as soon as possible, but as far as she is concerned, she is also I hope from the bottom of my heart that I can use what I have learned all my life and my few experiences to help this poor girl.
For this reason, Nora tried to find as many interesting things as possible to keep Camelia busy, so as to forget all the troubles, such as teaching Camelia how to make coffee latte art and Muggle desserts, and taking her to Seeing art exhibitions, visiting museums, calling my Muggle friends to have a picnic, and selflessly pouring my infinite enthusiasm for life into this girl whose heart has become a dry well. Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain. Miria's condition has improved a little, and at the same time she is willing to open up with her.
In many cases, Nora is more like a friend who talks about everything to Camelia, rather than an elder of the same generation as her mother.Whenever she had free time, Nora took Camelia to chat, which was an inevitable part of psychotherapy.
There are many boys who are about the same age as Camila among the customers that the coffee shop receives every day, but since she arrived, more and more boys came into the shop to drink coffee.Many of them would ask Nora if there was a shortage of staff in the store, but the answers they got were often disappointing, but this was nothing compared to Camelia's indifference.
In the eyes of those boys, Camelia is the flower of the high mountain, which can only be seen from a distance but not played with, or it is the evening wind caressing the cheeks, she stays unintentionally, but suddenly teases you Heartstrings, but everyone knows that the flowers of Gaoling cannot be picked, and the evening breeze cannot be kept.
After seeing Camelia politely reject another boy's invitation to date, Nora felt the need to discuss emotional issues with the young lady.
So at tea time one day, Nora asked Camelia such a question.
"Why not try dating those boys? It will help your condition a lot."
"I don't want to date anyone else at all, not now and not ever."
"Is it because you still miss him?" Nora asked cautiously. Camelia once shared her secret with Nora. It is said that it is a person who can find all the excellent qualities that everyone can think of. boy.
Camelia didn't speak, and her hands began to twist the skirt of the floral dress that she wore that day restlessly. Her pair of beautiful gray eyes were as dim as a pool of stagnant water. Her reaction was beyond Nora's expectations. middle.
But facing her like this, all Nora could do was sigh, but she still tried to say earnestly: "Listen, I know he is a good boy, but besides him, there are many other good boys in this world. Maybe you'll meet someone better than him one day."
"No, I couldn't find anyone better than him."
"I think the reason why you think so is because you are still too young, you have not met enough people, and you have not experienced enough things. You think that if you like someone, you can always like them, but in fact life is not so perfect Yes. There is nothing wrong with staying true to your original intention, but it can easily make you paranoid and make you often feel overwhelmed by gains and losses. I don’t want to see you working so hard, so promise me, don’t define it so early, and try to give others boy a chance?"
Later, Camelia followed the advice and began to date others one after another, but found that the more people she met, the more she missed the boy who occupied most of her youth.In the end, she verified a conjecture with practice, that is, she really can't find anyone better than him, and what's even more sad is that he has never belonged to herself, and it is impossible to belong to herself.
The Three Broomsticks seems to be always so lively. Almost all the wizards who pass by Hogsmeade will come here to sit. Here you can see homeless traders drinking and chatting, gradually letting the neighbors down. , only in this way can he start selling his products crazily; here you can also see the well-dressed wizards who are usually polite and well-dressed, complaining to the drinking buddies about the new regulations issued by the Ministry of Magic recently. The guests at their nearest table were playing wizard chess heartily.
The owner of the bar, Ms. Rosmerta, stands at the bar and concentrates on preparing wine for the guests. Although she always looks very busy, she always has a smile on her face, just like the atmosphere in the bar. Although it is crowded, noisy and smoky, But it makes people feel warm in the heart.
It wasn't until Roger Davis appeared with two glasses of butterbeer that Camelia's thoughts were interrupted.
"Miss, the butter beer you ordered has arrived, please enjoy it slowly."
Camelia took the glass from him and thanked him, then lowered her head and drank it intently. The bitterness of the beer was covered by the aroma of butter, and at the same time, it neutralized the richness of the butter. It tasted delicious. This is a must-order item for Hogwarts students when they visit the Three Broomsticks, but she hasn't had this drink since she dropped out of school.
"Do you like it? You should try this for the first time." Davis stared at Camelia and said, "I thought girls would prefer to date at Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse."
"Maybe I'm just not like the average girl, I don't know what they think, but I don't understand why the store is decorated with so much lace, it looks really tacky, and I don't like the atmosphere there .”
"Sounds like you've been there," Davis said.
"Actually, this is not the first time I have come to Hogsmeade." Camelia confessed to him, and Davis seemed a little disappointed after hearing this.
"I thought you had all the homework to be a good tour guide if you hadn't been to Hogsmeade before, but now..."
The village of Hogsmeade is not big, and it will feel new when you first come here, but after visiting more times, you don’t think there is any fun, so Davis is worried about temporarily disrupting the plan. Let the effect of this appointment be greatly reduced.
"But it's okay, I can try to make you feel fresh about the places you have been to. After all, homework can't be done in vain, so is there any place you want to go later?" Davis was just worried After a while, he cheered up immediately.
"Not yet, but it's okay to sit here and have a drink and chat." Camelia said empathetically, which made Davis overjoyed. He thought she would be difficult to deal with.
A few days ago, while Camelia was reading a book in the Ravenclaw common room, Davis came over and sat next to her. Condolences, and then intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that he had visited but was stopped outside the door. Although he did not see anyone, fortunately Madam Pomfrey did not refuse his request to help deliver flowers.
After Camelia had thanked him for the flowers, he made a straightforward invitation for a date.Camelia was not surprised by this at all, because she had already sensed Davis' intentions when she saw Davis walking towards her. Originally, she wanted to politely refuse, but she caught a glimpse of Marietta Ai inadvertently. Como and her group of little sisters were sitting not far away watching them, and it was this glimpse that changed Camelia's mind.
Without thinking, she smiled at Davis and readily agreed to his invitation.
Sure enough, Marietta saw this scene, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly. She was still bragging to her friends that she would be dating Eddie Camille. The words were full of yin and yang, but Camille What Ya couldn't figure out was how proud it was to say such a thing.
It was obvious that the boy had just been rejected by her, and he ran up to Marietta to show courteousness, but just like this, Marietta didn't think there was any problem at all, instead she was secretly delighted that this cheap liking could satisfy her vanity , for a moment Camelia actually felt a little pity for her, but only for a few seconds.
In fact, I don’t want to count how many girlfriends Davis has dated. He is a good date. Odd captain, in addition to knowing when to say wisecracks to make people happy, he is not likely to make the mistakes that ordinary boys make when they date, but I don’t know how many dates they accumulate experience.But those girls are often coaxed into a daze by him like this, and then jump into the trap of sweet talk without hesitation.
They chatted well, but the only thing that made Davis dissatisfied was that every time he tried to get closer or draw the words in an ambiguous direction, Camelia always avoided it just right.But what he didn't know was that at this moment, Camelia was thinking about how to complete this impulsively agreed date in a decent way. After all, people have to pay for their own impulsiveness.
It's just that the experienced Davis sometimes misunderstood, and he mistakenly thought that Camelia was playing hard-to-get tricks with him.By now, he wasn't sure if the date was a mess or it was going well, but one thing he knew couldn't be clearer, and that was that he was completely fascinated by the girl in front of him.
Afterwards, they went to some other shops together. When they came out from Honeydukes, Davis was carrying several paper bags in his hand, which contained the candy he bought for Camelia, all kinds of candy, even the latest All the flavors are in it. If it wasn't for Camelia's obstruction, he might just want to buy the whole candy store.
"Although these jellies are realistically made and look disgusting, they taste really good, and you can use them to prank people."
While Davies was saying that Honeydukes jelly slugs were his favorite candy, Camelia was sneaking seggalons into his robe pockets as payment for those candies, and praying he'd come back Only later did she find out, because Davis refused to accept her money no matter what.
"I once managed to scare my mum with it on April Fool's Day. After realizing it was my prank, she was very angry at first, but soon she let it go and happily joined me. Shared candy and at one point tried to scare my dad the same way."
"Your mother is very cute, it sounds like a child who hasn't grown up yet." Camelia said politely.
"Ah, yes, she's lovely. But I think mother would like you if she saw you, as much as I like you."
When Davis said this, he was staring at Camelia intently, but his behavior and what he just said made people feel uncomfortable, so Camelia didn't say anything more.
When passing by the post office, Camelia wanted to send Davis away, but the other party insisted on going back together, claiming that it was absolutely impossible for a gentleman to leave a lady like this.Because she couldn't hold him back, Camelia had no choice but to let him wait outside the post office with her things, and walked into the post office with a bag of candy herself. She suddenly wanted to send a cross-border package.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the bells connected to the door jingled. There were two or three hundred owls of different breeds squatting on the shelves in the store, and they all looked at the people coming in at the same time. The shelves of these owls were marked with different colors. Code, that represents the speed at which they deliver.
Camelia was asking the clerk how much it would cost to send a package to France when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Miss Shafik, why are you here?"
It was Cedric, and Camelia turned her head to find that he was sitting at a table in the shop, with ink, letter paper and envelopes on the table, and he was holding a quill full of ink in his hand, It seems that he is writing a letter to someone, or the kind that he doesn't want to be known.Because almost all students have an owl of their own, Hogwarts also has a shed dedicated to fostering student owls. If you are sending a letter to your family or friends, you don’t have to go to the Hogsmeade post office at all. , unless there are special circumstances.
After asking about the relevant matters, Camelia took the cardboard box given by the clerk and the information sheet to be filled out, and sat opposite Cedric. At this time, he put down the quill in his hand and asked with a warm smile: " Did you come to post a letter?"
"No, send a package. I bought a lot of candy at Honeydukes today, and I thought my mother might like some of them, so I wanted to send some to her. It's Halloween next month, and she will need candy, and these candies are in You can't buy it in France," Camelia said honestly.
"That sounds good," Cedric said slowly. "I think you could try writing to your mother more. Maybe she's thinking of you as much as you are thinking of her."
Camelia was a little surprised by this, but then she remembered that she had mentioned her mother to him before, so she didn't pay much attention to it, "I want to do this too, and I know that my mother loves me very much, but I My owl is never going to France, there's always something in the way, there's always someone who doesn't want me to be in touch with my mum."
"Sorry, I didn't understand you." Cedric frowned with confusion in his eyes.
Camelia didn't explain any further to him, but filled out the information sheet and said, "It's nothing, it's just some messy things in my house, just think I was talking nonsense just now. Maybe I should secretly go back to them behind my back." Buy an owl to deliver letters to mom."
Cedric was thoughtful at this, and after a while said, "If you ever want to send a letter to mother, you can ask me. I mean, I can lend you my owl. "
"Really?" She raised her head sharply.
"Of course, you can use whatever you want." Cedric said generously, staring at the pair of gray eyes that were the same color as his own, but he didn't realize that the corners of his mouth had begun to rise unconsciously.
Camelia was as happy as a child, "So I can save the money I spent on sneaking a new owl and use it to buy clothes."
Cedric was amused by her sudden childishness, and he suppressed a smile and asked, "Why don't you have enough clothes?"
"There will never be enough to wear." She spread her hands and said with a melancholy expression that all girls in the world would be distressed, which made Cedric couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing enough, Cedric hesitated and said, "Are you alone? Do you want to be together later..."
"No, Davis is still standing outside waiting for me, I think I'd better hurry up." Camelia paused, "Uh, do you know Davis? He's from our academy's Quidditch team." .”
"He, I know him. Then you... so you and Davis are dating? I heard some people say it before, but I didn't believe it... I didn't expect it to be true. I don't know why most of Cedric's smile disappeared, "I don't know Davis very well. Although he is good, it's no problem to be a friend, but... if you don't just want to be with Davis If you want to be friends, I think I need to tell you some things, you need to be more cautious, he is really... ah, it is really bad to speak ill of him behind his back, but he is really a little..."
"You're trying to say that he's a little playful. He has a lot of exes. I'm afraid he's not the best candidate to be a boyfriend, is it?" Camelia spoke for him without waiting for him to finish.
Cedric's face changed drastically, and he kept rubbing his hands, looking extremely embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I don't think I should pay attention to those gossips, and I want to comment on your date in front of you."
Camelia told him with an indifferent expression, "It's okay, anyway, I won't date him in the future."
"Why?" Cedric said confused, and then his expression became serious. "Did he bully you? If so, please tell me, and I can get justice for you."
"No, it's just that I don't want to date anyone I don't like anymore, and I have to say it's such a stupid waste of time."
"I don't like it... So you don't like Davis? I thought you agreed to him because you were to him..." Cedric's expression was puzzling, it seemed to be joyful and a little frustrated, but the next In a second, his brows were all wrinkled together again, and he regained his seriousness just now.
"Then if you don't like him, why did you agree to date him?"
At this time Camelia was busy pouring the sugar from the paper bag into the cardboard box. For some reason, what she said sounded extremely irresponsible.
"I don't know, maybe it's because he's the captain of the Quidditch team."
"Just because of this? Miss, don't you think that you...you are just messing around!" Cedric's voice was much louder than usual, and it sounded like he was angry.
Faced with his sudden temper, Camelia was taken aback, so she had to temporarily stop what she was doing at hand, and looked at him blankly. She really couldn't figure out why she and Davis would let him go on a date. Mr. Hao Hao is so angry, why is this?
And Cedric already knew from Camelia's eyes that she didn't understand what he wanted to express, and she didn't know the real reason for his anger, which made him feel even more angry.
The angry Cedric changed from usual, and said sourly: "Well, since this is the case, may I ask you a question, will you agree to his date request as long as the other party is the captain of the college's Quidditch team? How about others, no matter what academy he is from, as long as he is the captain, you will agree, right?"
Camelia exclaimed, "Of course not, I was just joking just now, don't you take it seriously?"
As soon as the words came out, Cedric also widened his eyes in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what she said. After a while, he calmed down and returned to his usual appearance, and began to complain about his failure to control his emotions just now. She stopped apologizing, but Camelia had gradually become irritated by this, and she couldn't help but blame Cedric, who was still apologizing, "You're really weird today."
After saying this, she went to the clerk with the completed information sheet and packaged package, preparing to deliver the package to France.
After paying, Camelia turned around and saw Cedric staring at her with a quill in his hand, and said, "I'm leaving, are you alright?"
"I may need to spend a little more time." He said, lowering his head and quickly glanced at the letter paper spread on the table, subconsciously covering the content with his arms as if guilty, even though he knew Camelia was standing so far away , I couldn't even read a single letter written on the paper, I could only see groups of small dark blue dots.
Cedric seldom has such a flustered side, unless it is something related to the girl she likes, which Camelia knows very well, but what she is surprised is when he and Qiu Zhang, They met without even her knowing, and there was no movement at all, it shouldn't be, logically speaking, with the popularity of the two of them, if there is any contact between the two of them, there will be scandals flying all over the school.
But how dare she think about it, people who are destined to love each other will meet sooner or later. After meeting, they will know each other, get acquainted, and finally fall in love again. Everything is so logical, just like in a Muggle fairy tale, the prince The ending with the princess is written as early as the beginning of the story, and they are destined to live happily together forever.
Although fairy tales are untrue, it is undeniable that there are such perfect characters as princes and princesses in reality, but there are too few such characters, and people will doubt them when they appear around them. their authenticity.
Of all the Hogwarts students, Cedric and Cho are the equivalent of Prince and Princess.Compared with them, Camelia felt that she was not even Cinderella, at most she could only be the bubble that the Little Mermaid turned into at the end, and no one would pay attention to its destination except that it looked shining in the sun.
She forced a smile on her face and teased Cedric as before, "Aren't you writing a love letter to the girl you like?"
"No, you misunderstood. In fact, I... I don't have anyone I like yet."
Seeing Cedric's flushed face and his behavior of not daring to meet her eyes, Camelia thought to herself, Merlin's socks, this guy really can't lie, someone should teach him well.
But she still had a smile on her face, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell others."
After she finished speaking, she and Cedric blinked, but the other party seemed very helpless about this, and even sighed.
Just before he was about to explain to himself that he didn't like a girl, Camelia handed over a box of Bibi's multi-flavored beans that had been specially left for him when he packed the package.
"This box of Bibi's multi-flavored beans is for you, thank you for lending me the owl."
"You're welcome, it should be. As for this box of multi-flavored beans, you'd better keep it for yourself." He smiled and waved his hand.
"Accept it. In fact, it's not just about the owl, there are other things. Thank you very much. Although a box of multi-flavored beans is far from clear, this is all I have now."
Cedric said that he just did some small things, not worth a box of multi-flavored beans at all, and he didn't need her to pay him anything back.But unable to stand Camelia's insistence, she accepted it in the end.
Just when Camelia put her hand on the handle of the store door, she suddenly heard Cedric calling her name instead of the usual polite surname.
"Camelia," he called.
"Well, is there anything else?"
"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell you just now. Be careful on the way back."
Judging by his expression, he obviously wanted to say something else, but Camelia didn't continue to ask, but just replied with a smile, "Okay."
The manager of the coffee shop, Nora Roland, is Camelia's mother's classmate in Beauxbatons and her friend for many years. This Muggle-born witch went to a Muggle university for further study after completing her studies in magic. She majored in psychology. After graduation, she worked in a hospital for a while, but quit soon after, and then happily ran a coffee shop by herself.

"I once managed to scare my mum with it on April Fool's Day. After realizing it was my prank, she was very angry at first, but soon she let it go and happily joined me. Shared candy and at one point tried to scare my dad the same way."
"Your mother is very cute, it sounds like a child who hasn't grown up yet." Camelia said politely.
"Ah, yes, she's lovely. But I think mother would like you if she saw you, as much as I like you."
When Davis said this, he was staring at Camelia intently, but his behavior and what he just said made people feel uncomfortable, so Camelia didn't say anything more.
When passing by the post office, Camelia wanted to send Davis away, but the other party insisted on going back together, claiming that it was absolutely impossible for a gentleman to leave a lady like this.Because she couldn't hold him back, Camelia had no choice but to let him wait outside the post office with her things, and walked into the post office with a bag of candy herself. She suddenly wanted to send a cross-border package.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the bells connected to the door jingled. There were two or three hundred owls of different breeds squatting on the shelves in the store, and they all looked at the people coming in at the same time. The shelves of these owls were marked with different colors. Code, that represents the speed at which they deliver.
Camelia was asking the clerk how much it would cost to send a package to France when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Miss Shafik, why are you here?"
It was Cedric, and Camelia turned her head to find that he was sitting at a table in the shop, with ink, letter paper and envelopes on the table, and he was holding a quill full of ink in his hand, It seems that he is writing a letter to someone, or the kind that he doesn't want to be known.Because almost all students have an owl of their own, Hogwarts also has a shed dedicated to fostering student owls. If you are sending a letter to your family or friends, you don’t have to go to the Hogsmeade post office at all. , unless there are special circumstances.
After asking about the relevant matters, Camelia took the cardboard box given by the clerk and the information sheet to be filled out, and sat opposite Cedric. At this time, he put down the quill in his hand and asked with a warm smile: " Did you come to post a letter?"
"No, send a package. I bought a lot of candy at Honeydukes today, and I thought my mother might like some of them, so I wanted to send some to her. It's Halloween next month, and she will need candy, and these candies are in You can't buy it in France," Camelia said honestly.
"That sounds good," Cedric said slowly. "I think you could try writing to your mother more. Maybe she's thinking of you as much as you are thinking of her."
Camelia was a little surprised by this, but then she remembered that she had mentioned her mother to him before, so she didn't pay much attention to it, "I want to do this too, and I know that my mother loves me very much, but I My owl is never going to France, there's always something in the way, there's always someone who doesn't want me to be in touch with my mum."
"Sorry, I didn't understand you." Cedric frowned with confusion in his eyes.
Camelia didn't explain any further to him, but filled out the information sheet and said, "It's nothing, it's just some messy things in my house, just think I was talking nonsense just now. Maybe I should secretly go back to them behind my back." Buy an owl to deliver letters to mom."
Cedric was thoughtful at this, and after a while said, "If you ever want to send a letter to mother, you can ask me. I mean, I can lend you my owl. "
"Really?" She raised her head sharply.
"Of course, you can use whatever you want." Cedric said generously, staring at the pair of gray eyes that were the same color as his own, but he didn't realize that the corners of his mouth had begun to rise unconsciously.
Camelia was as happy as a child, "So I can save the money I spent on sneaking a new owl and use it to buy clothes."
Cedric was amused by her sudden childishness, and he suppressed a smile and asked, "Why don't you have enough clothes?"
"There will never be enough to wear." She spread her hands and said with a melancholy expression that all girls in the world would be distressed, which made Cedric couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing enough, Cedric hesitated and said, "Are you alone? Do you want to be together later..."
"No, Davis is still standing outside waiting for me, I think I'd better hurry up." Camelia paused, "Uh, do you know Davis? He's from our academy's Quidditch team." .”
"He, I know him. Then you... so you and Davis are dating? I heard some people say it before, but I didn't believe it... I didn't expect it to be true. I don't know why most of Cedric's smile disappeared, "I don't know Davis very well. Although he is good, it's no problem to be a friend, but... if you don't just want to be with Davis If you want to be friends, I think I need to tell you some things, you need to be more cautious, he is really... ah, it is really bad to speak ill of him behind his back, but he is really a little..."
"You're trying to say that he's a little playful. He has a lot of exes. I'm afraid he's not the best candidate to be a boyfriend, is it?" Camelia spoke for him without waiting for him to finish.
Cedric's face changed drastically, and he kept rubbing his hands, looking extremely embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I don't think I should pay attention to those gossips, and I want to comment on your date in front of you."
Camelia told him with an indifferent expression, "It's okay, anyway, I won't date him in the future."
"Why?" Cedric said confused, and then his expression became serious. "Did he bully you? If so, please tell me, and I can get justice for you."
"No, it's just that I don't want to date anyone I don't like anymore, and I have to say it's such a stupid waste of time."
"I don't like it... So you don't like Davis? I thought you agreed to him because you were to him..." Cedric's expression was puzzling, it seemed to be joyful and a little frustrated, but the next In a second, his brows were all wrinkled together again, and he regained his seriousness just now.
"Then if you don't like him, why did you agree to date him?"
At this time Camelia was busy pouring the sugar from the paper bag into the cardboard box. For some reason, what she said sounded extremely irresponsible.
"I don't know, maybe it's because he's the captain of the Quidditch team."
"Just because of this? Miss, don't you think that you...you are just messing around!" Cedric's voice was much louder than usual, and it sounded like he was angry.
Faced with his sudden temper, Camelia was taken aback, so she had to temporarily stop what she was doing at hand, and looked at him blankly. She really couldn't figure out why she and Davis would let him go on a date. Mr. Hao Hao is so angry, why is this?
And Cedric already knew from Camelia's eyes that she didn't understand what he wanted to express, and she didn't know the real reason for his anger, which made him feel even more angry.
The angry Cedric changed from usual, and said sourly: "Well, since this is the case, may I ask you a question, will you agree to his date request as long as the other party is the captain of the college's Quidditch team? How about others, no matter what academy he is from, as long as he is the captain, you will agree, right?"
Camelia exclaimed, "Of course not, I was just joking just now, don't you take it seriously?"
As soon as the words came out, Cedric also widened his eyes in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what she said. After a while, he calmed down and returned to his usual appearance, and began to complain about his failure to control his emotions just now. She stopped apologizing, but Camelia had gradually become irritated by this, and she couldn't help but blame Cedric, who was still apologizing, "You're really weird today."
After saying this, she went to the clerk with the completed information sheet and packaged package, preparing to deliver the package to France.
After paying, Camelia turned around and saw Cedric staring at her with a quill in his hand, and said, "I'm leaving, are you alright?"
"I may need to spend a little more time." He said, lowering his head and quickly glanced at the letter paper spread on the table, subconsciously covering the content with his arms as if guilty, even though he knew Camelia was standing so far away , I couldn't even read a single letter written on the paper, I could only see groups of small dark blue dots.
Cedric seldom has such a flustered side, unless it is something related to the girl she likes, which Camelia knows very well, but what she is surprised is when he and Qiu Zhang, They met without even her knowing, and there was no movement at all, it shouldn't be, logically speaking, with the popularity of the two of them, if there is any contact between the two of them, there will be scandals flying all over the school.
But how dare she think about it, people who are destined to love each other will meet sooner or later. After meeting, they will know each other, get acquainted, and finally fall in love again. Everything is so logical, just like in a Muggle fairy tale, the prince The ending with the princess is written as early as the beginning of the story, and they are destined to live happily together forever.
Although fairy tales are untrue, it is undeniable that there are such perfect characters as princes and princesses in reality, but there are too few such characters, and people will doubt them when they appear around them. their authenticity.
Of all the Hogwarts students, Cedric and Cho are the equivalent of Prince and Princess.Compared with them, Camelia felt that she was not even Cinderella, at most she could only be the bubble that the Little Mermaid turned into at the end, and no one would pay attention to its destination except that it looked shining in the sun.
She forced a smile on her face and teased Cedric as before, "Aren't you writing a love letter to the girl you like?"
"No, you misunderstood. In fact, I... I don't have anyone I like yet."
Seeing Cedric's flushed face and his behavior of not daring to meet her eyes, Camelia thought to herself, Merlin's socks, this guy really can't lie, someone should teach him well.
But she still had a smile on her face, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell others."
After she finished speaking, she and Cedric blinked, but the other party seemed very helpless about this, and even sighed.
Just before he was about to explain to himself that he didn't like a girl, Camelia handed over a box of Bibi's multi-flavored beans that had been specially left for him when he packed the package.
"This box of Bibi's multi-flavored beans is for you, thank you for lending me the owl."
"You're welcome, it should be. As for this box of multi-flavored beans, you'd better keep it for yourself." He smiled and waved his hand.
"Accept it. In fact, it's not just about the owl, there are other things. Thank you very much. Although a box of multi-flavored beans is far from clear, this is all I have now."
Cedric said that he just did some small things, not worth a box of multi-flavored beans at all, and he didn't need her to pay him anything back.But unable to stand Camelia's insistence, she accepted it in the end.
Just when Camelia put her hand on the handle of the store door, she suddenly heard Cedric calling her name instead of the usual polite surname.
"Camelia," he called.
"Well, is there anything else?"
"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell you just now. Be careful on the way back."
Judging by his expression, he obviously wanted to say something else, but Camelia didn't continue to ask, but just replied with a smile, "Okay."
