[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

The author has something to say:

I'm afraid some people will ask after watching the movie, Beauxbatons is the same school as Hogwarts, not a girls' school!There are boys!Nicole Flamel, who made the Philosopher's Stone in the first movie, is from this school. Don't be distracted by the movie. By the way, the original Rydham Strong seems to be a coeducational school.

One afternoon in mid-October, a large group of students crowded around a board erected at the foot of the marble staircase, on which was affixed a notice.

Triwizard Tournament

Representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at six o'clock in the evening on Friday, October [-]th.The afternoon class will end half an hour earlier. After the end, all the students will gather in the foyer. Organized by the deans of their respective colleges, they will line up outside the door and wait for the two school representatives to arrive.

This announcement in the foyer made it seem like no matter where people went for the next week, there was only one topic of conversation: the Triwizard Tournament.Rumors spread rapidly among the students like a highly contagious virus.

Who will compete to be a Hogwarts hero, what events will be in the Tournament, and how are the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang different from them.

These are topics that everyone has been talking about recently, and all other gossip should be put aside.

Also worth noting that the castle appears to be undergoing a thorough cleaning.A few grimy portraits were scrubbed clean, and the armor was suddenly shiny and no longer creaked when it moved.When Filch the janitor saw some students soiling the mopped floor, he raged so viciously that two first-year girls were taken to the school hospital because they were hiccupping after being frightened.

Even the teachers seemed extra nervous, with Professor McGonagall pleading with the underperforming students not to let Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's students know that they can't even turn hedgehogs into coasters. can't do it.

Recently, with the approach of the Triwizard Tournament, Camelia has also gradually felt anxious, especially for some reason she always feels flustered.The chest was very stuffy, and then I couldn't bear it, so I ran to the school hospital.

After Ms. Pomfrey's examination, she said that it was a sign of overthinking and there was nothing to worry about. It is normal for fifth graders to have this situation, so she comforted her not to worry too much about the OWLs exam and gave her some tranquilizers give her.

But Camelia didn't worry or care about her test scores at all, and she thought she was probably the most relaxed of all the fifth-grade candidates in this matter.

But Madam Pomfrey was right about one thing, she did think too much.Although Cedric had repeatedly promised her that day that he would never sign up for the Triwizard Tournament, Camelia also believed that he would do what he said.

But for some reason, she just couldn't help but fear that if there were so many erroneous coincidences, Cedric would have to break his promise.Moreover, among the Hufflepuff students, Cedric's voice as a Hogwarts warrior is very high, and there are always people around him urging him to sign up.

Ernie paid a lot of attention to this matter, and was more concerned about the Triwizard Tournament than anyone else. Whenever there was any trouble, he would always inform Cedric as soon as possible.

Cedric also didn't tell anyone that he had promised Camelia not to attend. This was not to play tricks, but to do her best for her.He knew that if he disappointed his classmates who were expecting him to enter the competition, those people would not take their anger on him, but on Camelia, because she caused Hufflepuff to lose the award. How could it be possible not to be angry that their warriors gave up a great opportunity of honor that they hadn't received in a century because of her words.

Coupled with the nightmares that visit every night, Camelia is tortured. Now that she has moved to the prefect's single room, she doesn't have to worry about her bad sleep being known by April and telling Cedric , let them all worry.But she didn't sleep well, and her appetite became extremely poor, so they were aware of it.

During this time, Camelia had lost a lot of weight, and Cedric's favorite thing to say these days was that if she didn't eat more, she would be blown away like a kite.But she has tried very hard to eat more, but the food can't be squeezed in for some reason.

It made her anxious and wondered if she was anorexic.

But losing weight is not a bad thing at all. Looking at her slimmer self in the mirror, Camelia thought that this time she could finally do business with her demanding mother.Because she was dissatisfied with Camelia's figure during the summer vacation, thinking that she was not slender enough. Although she was already thin enough in the eyes of others, her mother thought her daughter was a little worse than when she was young.

This made her feel puzzled why this happened. Logically speaking, her daughter should inherit her good genes and shouldn't be a little fatter.So much so that she specifically asked Camelia if the diet at Hogwarts was too greasy. After that, she did not forget to tell Camelia that her alma mater, Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, pays great attention to students. eating habits.

But no matter how anxious Camila is, time will not stop because of her personally, that day will always come.

In a blink of an eye, October [-]th arrived. When everyone went downstairs to have breakfast, they found that the auditorium had already been decorated.Huge silk banners hung on the walls, each one representing a Hogwarts house: Gryffindor on red with a golden lion, Ravenclaw on blue with a bronze eagle, and Ravenclaw on yellow with a golden lion. The one with a black badger is Hufflepuff, and the one with a green background and a silver python is Slytherin.The largest banner hangs behind the staff desks, with the Hogwarts crest embroidered on it.

On this day, there was an unprecedented joy in the air.In class, no one was paying attention, and everyone was thinking about the coming of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's people tonight.

At noon, this atmosphere became more and more intense, and almost everyone was looking forward to the time passing faster, but the Weasley twins, who always love to be lively, avoided the crowd abnormally, walked to the corner and lowered their voices. discussing something.Camelia felt strange in her heart, so she walked towards them and just heard something.

"It's not pleasant, I admit," said George to Fred despondently, "but if he doesn't talk to us face to face, we'll have to mail him the letter, or put it straight into his hands. He can't hide from us forever."

"Who is avoiding you?" Camelia asked, walking up to them.

"Miss, why don't you make any noise when you're walking? Shock us." Fred's original tone was very unhappy, but when he found out that it was Camelia, his tone suddenly slowed down a lot.

"What makes you feel uncomfortable?" Camelia asked curiously.

"It's nothing... Ah, by the way, how is your father's relationship with Ludo Bagman?" George wanted to try to hide it like Fred did, but he changed his mind when he spoke.

"Why ask this?" Camelia frowned, and suddenly realized, "Does he owe you two money? How much? If it's not much, I can pay it all for him now."

George was taken aback, and immediately waved his hands and said, "That's unnecessary."

Fred directly admitted Bagman's debt, "He owes us money, and he will pay it back. We are ashamed to ask you for money."

"But you can't ask for a penny from Uncle Ludo. I know that he has no money at all, and all his money has been used by him for gambling. He has owed a lot of debts over the years. In order to make up He even borrowed money from goblins.” Camelia said, “My dad just helped him deal with a lot of debts not long ago, but that was only a small part of the debts he owed. Our family has not Knowing that I helped him repay a lot of debts, big and small, even he himself felt embarrassed, and told my father not to care about him anymore, he said he had to find a way by himself."

When Fred and George heard this, they said angrily, "So he lied to us! The damned old thing!"

"Actually, he is quite nice, but sometimes he is quite confused and can't get rid of the bad habit of gambling. But to be honest, don't become a gambler, it's not good." Camelia sighed, "So you How much did you give him?"

The two looked at each other as if hesitating, and then one of them, probably Fred, said, "Thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen Sickles, three Knuts, and a false wand, he said that Worth five Galleons."

"It's equivalent to all of our savings."

"That's too bad," said Camelia.

"Yes. Is not it." They both said in unison.

Then George opened his mouth and said exaggeratedly: "It's our fault that we didn't listen to Daddy. He said—we were too young, he didn't want us to gamble. But—"

Fred picked up his words: "Bagman said he'd give us good odds, and it's heartwarming."

Camelia was thoughtful: "I'd better think about how much I will give you..."

"No, we don't want your money!"

"Just let me invest, don't you want to open a store? Since Uncle Ludo cheated a lot of people during the World Cup, I might as well do more good things for him, so that his life can be lived Take it easy. Who told me to be hugged by him when I was a child." Camelia smiled, "Well, I can give you five hundred Galleons first, if it's not enough—"

Fred said, "Wait, do you really have that much money?"

"Do you see this badge?" Camelia puffed up her chest so that the two of them could clearly see the prefect badge pinned to her clothes, "Because I became a prefect, and when grandpa was happy, he wanted to put the prefect badge on the beach. He gave me a house, but I didn't want it. He gave me a lot of Galleons to buy what I wanted, and my father also said that he would reward me before school started."

Fred and George were surprised by her words at first, thinking that the life of a lady from a rich family is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Seeing their hesitation, Camelia persuaded: "You are very talented in this area. It would be a pity if you gave up because you couldn't get together the start-up funds. And I didn't invest too much. If you think about it in the future If you want to make your business bigger, do it boldly, even if you lose all the money, it’s okay, after all, doing business is risky, don’t even think about taking my money or anything, I’m just spending it Just buy it for five hundred Galleons and be happy."

"It turns out that making our Miss Shafik happy can be worth so many Galleons!" Fred resumed his usual playful smile.

"Oh, Fred, why do we only know the secret to getting rich now." George also said with a smile, "But rather than making a lot of money, I hope that our Miss Shafik can always be happy , This is something that no amount of money can buy.”

"I thought so too," agreed Fred.

Afterwards, the two thanked Camelia in a rare and serious manner, and mentioned that the VIP customers they mentioned when they first did business were just casually mentioned at the time, but unexpectedly it became a prophecy, and they decided to exempt her from paying the bill forever in the future.

After signing the check, Camelia said, "By the way, there is something I want to ask you to do."

"You can say whatever you want," said Fred.

"Take some of this money and go buy a better dress for Ron. If he wears the one he prepared for the Christmas ball, no girl would want to dance with him..." Camelia thought Ron said worriedly in that berry-colored robe.

"You've been very kind to our little Ronnie, better than either of us older brothers," said George.

"Maybe I'm used to being an older sister at home. Sometimes when I see Harry and Ron, I feel like I'm seeing my younger brother." Camelia smiled, "You can also go buy a new set for yourself. Dresses, and if you buy them, don't forget Ginny's."

Fred and George nodded together.

"Remember, in fact, we don't want Ron to embarrass us. His dress is too rustic. I don't know what mom thinks." George made a face.

Finally in the afternoon, the whole school was crowded in the foyer, and the deans of the colleges were ordering their students to line up, and the scene was once chaotic.Ravenclaw is fine, Professor Flitwick didn't spend much effort, but Professor McGonagall's stern voice came from Gryffindor from time to time, she heard her asking a student to put his hat on right, She was heard telling a girl to remove her bow-knot tiara, and a moment later she was telling the first graders to be quiet.

When everything was ready, they filed down the steps and stood in front of the castle.It was a cold evening, night was falling, and a white moon was already hanging over the Forbidden Forest.

"It's almost six o'clock." Camelia heard the people around her say, "How do you think they will come? Will they take the train like us?"

"I don't think so," someone replied.

"Then will it be riding a broomstick?"

"Impossible, it's so far away, and there are so many people."

"Portkeys?" someone else wondered. "Or they can Apparate, and maybe in their country people under 17 are allowed to Apparate?"

"Apparition is not allowed in the grounds of Hogwarts, why can't you always remember, how many times do you want me to say it!" Someone shouted angrily, probably he had said it to his friends many times .

They scanned the gradually darkened land excitedly, and after a while they saw a gigantic creature speeding across the night sky, flying towards the castle.

As it approached, everyone gradually saw that it was a huge powder blue carriage.It was nearly as big as a house, and was drawn by twelve silver-maned winged horses, each nearly as big as an elephant.

That was the representative of Beauxbaton School of Magic.

The carriage flew lower and was landing at an incomparably fast speed. The students standing in the first three rows hurriedly retreated. Then, the horseshoes fell to the ground with an earth-shattering bang, and the carriage also landed on the ground.

A crest of two golden crossed wands with three stars emerging from each was printed on the door, and the door swung open.

A boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, bent over, fumbled for something on the floor of the carriage, and opened a golden spiral staircase.He stepped back reverently, and everyone saw a shiny black high-heeled shoe protruding from the carriage. The size of the shoe looked small, but its owner was a big woman, and size was everything. People have never seen it before, and many people gasped in shock.

Camelia saw that it was her mother Blanche Dubois who got out of the car following the woman, and guessed that the big woman was Ms. Maxim, the principal of Beauxbatons.

Soon her guess was confirmed.

Dumbledore led everyone to applaud together, and many people stood on tiptoe, trying to get a better view of the tall woman.

When she walked into the light that leaked from the foyer with Camelia's mother, they saw that she had a very handsome face, her hair was pulled back in a dignified bun, and she was wrapped from head to toe. A black satin dress, with a lot of jewelry made of opal.

I saw an elegant smile on the woman's face, stretched out a gleaming hand covered with opal rings, and walked towards Dumbledore.Although Dumbledore was also tall, he hardly had to bend down to kiss this hand.

Dumbledore said enthusiastically: "Dear Ms. Maxim, welcome to Hogwarts."

Ms. Maxim replied in a low voice, "Professor Dumbledore, I hope you are well."

"Very well, thank you for your concern," said Dumbledore.

At this time, Ms. Maxim smiled slightly, "This is Ms. Du Bois. I asked her to help. She is the daughter of our former old principal."

Dumbledore went to kiss Blanche Dubois's hand again, but then he stared at her for a while with a puzzled expression for some reason, and Professor McGonagall immediately reminded him when he saw that he was a little out of control.

Dumbledore regained his composure, "I'm sorry, lady, you remind me of one of our Hogwarts students."

Blanche directly admitted to him, "Camelia is my daughter."

"Ah, so that's what happened. I thought I was too old and confused. Let me see, your daughter is-"

Dumbledore turned his head and looked in the direction of Ravenclaw College, trying to find Camelia from the crowd, but was stopped by Blanche Dubois.

"I told her about it, don't worry about it for now, I'm here mainly for work," she said.

Her tone was so cold that Dumbledore was also surprised. Many girls gloated and turned to look at Camelia, only to find that she looked as expected, and did not show any other expressions that people expected.

April, who was standing beside her, greeted her in a low voice, and Camelia patted her hand, signaling to her that she was fine.

"My student." Ms. Maxim said, raising a huge hand and waving it carelessly behind her.

Everyone was just staring at Ms. Maxim and Camelia's mother, but only now did they notice that about a dozen or thirteen students had gotten off the carriage and were standing behind Ms. Maxim at this moment.

Judging from their appearance, they were all about eighteen or nineteen years old, there were men and women, and their bodies were trembling slightly.This is not surprising, because the robes on their bodies seem to be made of fine silk. Although they look gorgeous, they don't seem to be very warm, and no one is wearing a cloak.Several students covered their heads with scarves or hoods.They all stood behind Ms. Maxim, looking up at the Hogwarts castle, many of them had expressions of awe on their faces.

Dumbledore beckoned them all into the hall, and Madam Maxime's horses, which drank only single malt whiskey, were handed over to Hagrid's care.

Camelia didn't wait for Durmstrang's students outside in the cold wind with others, she was called in by her mother.

After the kiss, her mother took her by the hand and brought her to Ms. Maxim, "This is Ms. Maxim, as I told you, she is still your grandfather's student."

"Hello, Ms. Maxime." Camelia said politely in French.

Ms. Maxim looked up and down Camelia with great interest, and then said very kindly: "Hello, your mother told me everything about you. So you are Mr. Du Bois's favorite granddaughter. "

A boy from Beauxbatons stood up, but his face did not show a trace of awe for their principal like his classmates, "Grandpa often talked about why the smartest child in our family was not named Du Bois."

"Leon, go back!" Blanche Dubois glared at the boy, "You don't want me to sue your parents once I go back."

Leon Dubois shrugged and pretended to be innocent and said, "Auntie, I just wanted to say hello to my cousin, we haven't seen each other for a while."

After speaking, he walked up to Camelia, hugged her vigorously, and said with a bright smile, "Jamie, do you miss me?"

"No, not at all." Camelia whispered with a stiff smile.

"My sister is so uncute, she shouldn't be tall." Leon said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and the smile on his face was not affected in the slightest.

Ms. Maxime was saying to Blanche: "Don't be so strict, Leon is a very good boy."

Durmstrang's students also arrived later, and they walked through the foyer with the rest of the Hogwarts students towards the Great Hall.This caused a stir as Durmstrang represented Viktor Krum.

The students behind him jumped up and down on tiptoe, trying to get a better view of Krum's back.A few sixth grade girls were frantically looking for something in their pockets as they walked.

"I can't believe I don't have a quill with me!"

"Do you think he'll sign my hat with lipstick?"

Then there was a ridiculous scene where the girls were arguing over a lipstick.

Beauxbaton's classmates had already chosen seats at the Ravenclaw table, and many of them sat down and looked around the auditorium with sullen expressions on their faces.Three others still had their heads tightly wrapped in scarves and hoods.

"It's too bad, it can't be compared with Beaucebaton at all." Fleur Delacour said to Camelia almost as soon as she entered the auditorium.

"Yeah, I don't know how you managed to stay in such a school with no sense of aesthetics for five years. If you want me, you can't do it, and you don't want to stay for a day." Leon, who followed behind them, looked critically at the magical girl. said the ceiling.

Hearing how they commented on Hogwarts, Camelia was a little angry, "Hogwarts is great, don't define it lightly."

Leon glanced at her lazily, "That's because you haven't seen what Beauxbaton is like, and I should have taken you there during the summer vacation, if the school wasn't closed at that time."

"Honey, you should go and see." Fleur said the same.

The Durmstrang students finally chose the Slytherin table, and they looked up with interest at the starry ceiling as they shed their heavy fur cloaks.Two of the students also picked up the golden plate and the goblet and looked at it carefully, obviously looking interested.

Over there at the staff table Filch, the janitor, was adding some chairs, looking perfectly formal in a musty old tuxedo for today's grand occasion.

After all the students entered the auditorium and sat down at the tables of their respective colleges, the faculty also came in, and they walked to the guest seats one after another and sat down.The last ones are Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxime, but Camelia discovers that her mother is missing.

Beauxbatons' students jumped to their feet as soon as they saw their headmaster appear, even Leon.A few Hogwarts students couldn't help laughing, but Beauxbatons' students didn't look embarrassed at all, and they didn't sit down again until Madam Maxime sat down to Dumbledore's left.Dumbledore remained standing, and the auditorium gradually fell silent.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and especially distinguished guests." Dumbledore said, looking at the foreign students with a smile, "Welcome to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will be here Feel comfortable and happy.

Fleur Delacour still wrapped her head tightly with her scarf and sneered ironically. Leon didn't make a sound, but the expression on his face was exactly the same as Fleur's.

"The Tournament will officially begin at the end of the banquet," said Dumbledore. "I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as they like at home!"

Then the plates in front of them were filled with food as usual.The house-elves in the kitchen seem to be pulling out all the stops.Never before have such a rich variety of dishes been placed in front of them, some of which are foreign flavors.

Next to the large steak and kidney pudding was a large plate of delicious bouillabaisse, which Fleur loved, or was all she wanted to eat, but the plate quickly drained.

Seeing that she obviously hadn't eaten enough, Camelia looked around at the other long tables, and then said to her, "I'll get some for you."

Camelia chose to detour and run to the Hufflepuff table, even though there was still some left at the nearest Gryffindor table.

"Excuse me, do you still eat this fish soup?" she said to Cedric.

"Take it all you want," Cedric said with a smile, handing the plate to her.

"Have you finished eating?" Camelia looked at Iris and Ian around him.

"It's over, it's delicious." Iris said, and then asked gossipingly, "Who is that Beauxbaton boy sitting next to you?"

"No one, just a megalomaniac." Camelia said with a wink.

"Sed, you can rest assured now." Iris and Ian laughed together, and Cedric was obviously embarrassed because his ears were red.

"Then I'll go back first."

After Camelia and Cedric finished speaking, they carefully walked back to Ravenclaw's table with the plate, only to find that Fleur and Leon had been staring at her just now. Leon looked a little sullen, and Fleur had already taken off her scarf. The long waterfall-like silver hair fell down to her waist, and Camelia noticed that many boys had turned their heads to look at her, and some of them seemed unable to speak for a while.

"Who is that? Your boyfriend?" Fu Rong asked with great interest, "If so, just pretend I didn't ask, and I won't fight you."

"It will be again soon." Camelia didn't want to say it at first, but seeing that Fleur was really interested in Cedric, she stopped duplicity at this time.

When she said this, she didn't notice Leon snorted coldly.

By the time the second course was served, the seats at the staff table that had been vacant had been filled.Ludo Bagman sat on the other side of Professor Karkaroff, and Mr. Crouch, Percy's immediate boss, and Camelia's mother sat next to Ms. Maxim.Camelia thought the three of them might have been discussing something just now.

After the banquet, Fleur invited Camelia to sit in Beauxbaton's carriage and chatted with her until late. Fleur once planned to stay with Camelia overnight, but was rejected by Camelia. .

It was very cold at night and the wind was blowing. Camelia walked into the hall from the outside shivering quickly, and met Cedric who had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing Camelia shivering from the cold, Cedric immediately took off his coat and scarf, and put them on her body intimately, which made Camelia feel much warmer all of a sudden.

"I don't even know how to wear a scarf when I run out at night, so I want to report to Ms. Pomfrey again?" Cedric gently reproached.

"You don't go back to sleep, why are you standing here?" Camelia asked him, "Could it be because you want to secretly sign up for yourself?"

At the banquet, the Goblet of Fire, which Dumbledore said would automatically select a warrior, had been placed in the center of the hall. It was placed on the stool that people usually sit on when they wear the Sorting Hat. Thin gold wire, in a circle ten feet in radius, encircled the cup.

"I'm not that stupid. I know which is more important to me, a girlfriend or being a Hogwarts warrior." Cedric put his arms around Camelia's waist, "I haven't forgotten, I I promised you something."

Camelia's face flushed slightly, "Then you stayed up most of the night just to stand here waiting for me? If I don't come back today, don't you plan to stand all night?"

"It's not impossible," said Cedric.

"What a fool." Camelia scolded him in a low voice while laughing, and then she leaned on him, "Or are you jealous?"

"You didn't make it clear." Cedric's voice was muffled, and he had a very annoyed expression, which made Camelia chuckle.

After laughing enough, she cleared her throat and said, "Okay, I'll tell you that the egomaniac is Leon Dubois. He's two years older than me. I've known him since he was born."

Seeing that Cedric didn't understand what she meant, Camelia gave a more obvious hint, "Sed, think about my mother's last name?"

"So he's your..."

"Blood cousin." Camelia added, "He is my uncle's son. Because he told me that he was not interested in this competition at all, so I didn't expect him to come. I didn't tell you Pass."

After she finished speaking, she raised her face and smiled and said to Cedric: "I really feel relieved now."

Cedric didn't say anything, he put his arms around her and kissed her.The delicate kisses fell on the face like drizzle, and it took a long time for the two heads that were close together to separate.

At this time, a cough suddenly came from behind them. Camelia heard the sound familiar, and couldn't help turning her head to look.

I saw Leon Dubois leaning against the door crookedly, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there.

He raised the things in his hands to Camelia, "I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, so I'm here to deliver clothes."

Camelia pouted and said, "Since when did you care about me so much?"

"You are wrong. I have always cared about you, my good sister." Leon's eyes changed in an instant when he looked at Cedric.

By this time Cedric and Camelia had separated, but the clothes Camelia was wearing were obviously not her own.

The two boys walked towards each other, and when they got close, they both stretched out their hands.Before shaking hands, Leon was about to introduce himself briefly in English. He speaks English very well, so that people can't hear the slightest French accent.

"Hello, I'm Cedric Diggory." Cedric had already communicated with him in fluent French.

This made Leon a little surprised, but he immediately came back to his senses, first held Cedric's hand, and after saying his name, he said in a rather unfriendly tone: "I have heard of your name for a long time, you made my sister cry for a whole day A summer guy."

"A summer vacation?" It was not the first time Cedric had heard such a statement, so he blurted out in surprise.

Before Camelia could stop her, Leon was already saying to Cedric: "There is one thing you have to know, no matter who bullies my sister, I will not let this guy have good fruit."
