[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

After October came, the damp cold pervaded the castle, and a cold suddenly caught up among the teachers and students of Hogwarts, which made the school doctor, Ms. Pomfrey, in a hurry. Fortunately, her refreshing potion had an immediate effect. It's just that people who drink this potion will suffer from smoke in their ears for several hours.

As the temperature dropped, the weather also became worse. For several days in a row, raindrops the size of bullets slapped against the windows of the castle. The lake water rose, and the flower beds were filled with mud.The Ravenclaw tower located on a high ground was extremely loud at night, no less than the roar of a running old-fashioned train, making Camelia stare blankly in bed every night.

Apart from insomnia, her life hasn't changed much recently, but overall she's doing well. Although she's still squeezed out by a few girls from her own college, their mocking words and petty gestures are very important to her. Said it was nothing.For the first time since becoming friends with Hufflepuff's Hannah Abbott, Camelia felt that life at Hogwarts was not so difficult. At least there was someone she could talk to with ease. Now let her compare The headache is the endless pursuit of those boys.

Camelia's parents were a pair of outstanding-looking men and women when they were young, and she naturally inherited her mother's beauty and elegance in her bones, which made her dress normally like an ordinary girl when she took off her glasses, instead of After deliberately dressing up as non-existent like before, it quickly attracted the attention of many boys.

Those boys all praised her for her bright eyes like a deer, her blond hair as soft as that fine satin, her delicate and smooth fair skin always showing a layer of rosy blush, plus her name, it is hard not to let It is reminiscent of the blooming camellia, the round morning dew rolls on the petals and reflects the sunlight.

When mentioning Camelia now, more people think of her beauty first, and then talk about her nerdy behavior of holding obscure and heavy books every day, and finally mentioning the rumors about her in the early years, Although many rumors are now self-defeating, these old news not only did not dissipate among a group of girls with broken mouths, but became popular again and intensified.

Out of jealousy, some girls maliciously said in private that she is posing and likes to mix a lot of love potions into her perfume. Otherwise, how could so many boys be so fascinated by her that they would not even think about eating and drinking, and even more diligently updated about her pursuit The list is just to see which boys are so superficial and ignorant, blinded by her harmless appearance.

As for Davis, who had a date, after returning from Hogsmeade that day, Camelia made it clear to him that he would not consider further developing the relationship. At first, he was very uncomfortable, and asked her to change for a few days. Thoughts, after receiving exact answers again and again, Davis was depressed for a while, but soon he fell in love with a beautiful girl in Slytherin.

It’s just that before pursuing the girl, Davis ran to Camelia and specifically asked her for permission to pursue someone else. His explanation for this was that he didn’t want Camelia because he was pursuing her a while ago. , and now he feels lost about going after other girls.

In fact, Davis was being sentimental, and Camelia didn't feel any disturbance in her heart. She just couldn't understand why he thought this way, but she was still willing to send him a sincere blessing, but Davis was listening After receiving the blessing, I was still a little depressed.After that, he never pestered her again, and he resolutely refused to accept the candy money. He not only returned the Gallon that Camelia secretly gave him, but also showed that since he said he would give her Then you can't ask for money. As a gentleman, there is no reason for a lady to pay for it.

However, there are not many boys like Davis who stop asking for trouble after being rejected. Most boys are always persistent and like to be smart and use girls' rejection as a test for them.

Now those constant streams of love letters, as well as being stopped by boys she doesn't know during class and being forced to listen to him say some inexplicable words, all give Camelia a headache.

However, there was a love letter that left a deep impression on Camelia.

One early morning in early October, a strange owl knocked on the window of Camelia's dormitory at an unconventional delivery time, and brought an anonymous love letter. The letter paper and envelope used for this love letter were not special The places are the most common, but the blue-purple ink is mixed with a little silver powder, which looks like the color of the starry sky.

That letter reads:

Dear Miss Shafik:

See words like you meet,

Please forgive my timidity, I can't tell you this in person in front of you, as if I suddenly lost all courage when I face you.

Your eyes seem to be filled with all the stars in the world, and your brows and eyes are so bright that I can't bear to take my eyes off you. Maybe it's Merlin's fault. He never told me in advance that you would be so beautiful. Let my brain go blank when I see you, I don’t know what to say, only my heart is pounding, even now, when I think of writing to you, my heart is also beating non-stop.

In countless sleepless nights, I have thought of you many times. When I think of you, you always carry the fragrance of many kinds of flowers mixed together. Every time the smell fills my nose, I feel at ease; thinking of you Every time the corners of the mouth rise so perfectly, the dimples on the sides of the cheeks, even if I haven't touched a drop of alcohol, but with such a smile, I seem to feel slightly drunk in a trance.

To me, you are like a golden snitch. Please forgive me, I just came up with such an unromantic and reluctant metaphor after thinking hard for a long time, but we all know that a golden snitch is what a seeker wants to pursue all his life. And you are what I have been looking for in my life.

Actually, I don’t really know how to like it, but I know that I like the feeling of the wind blowing over my cheeks when I’m riding a broom and swooping down fast. I like the softness of my mother’s cherry pie when it’s just out of the oven. I like to hear the sound of raindrops falling on the lawn and leaves. Tick, but after I met you, I realized that there is much more than that when I really like someone. That feeling is both maddening and fascinating. It can be said that as long as I am free, I will think about you all the time. Even the pillow holds the secret that I want to dream of you.

I like you.Yes, you read that right, I like you, this sentence is not enough for me to say a thousand times or ten thousand times.I've had enough of my timidity, but every critical moment I can't resist the desire to run away. I'm afraid that you will leave me completely after you find out about my little thoughts, but I'm also afraid that you really don't want to be at all. I know, I think I may never be able to get your favor because I am so contradictory and timid, but it doesn't matter, you don't need to know who I am, and you don't need to know how I love you, because this is all my own business , I can't let you get upset about this.

Hope to see the first snow fall of this year with you.

from a coward near you

The suitor's literary talent is good, but the handwriting is crooked like that of a child who has just learned to hold a pen.But Camelia couldn't figure out who this coward who claimed to be next to her was.

As soon as the sky cleared, the Quidditch field began to become lively, but a while ago Gryffindor and Slytherin had a lot of disputes over the training field, and it was said that they often followed Harry The Weasley boy next to Potter had been throwing up slugs all day because of it, but after all this fuss, everyone now knew that Slytherin's new Seeker was Draco Malfoy.

On a sunny afternoon, Camelia went to the gamekeeper Hagrid for help with a wounded cat.It was a bony, gray and white shorthair cat that Camelia had found in a nondescript grove near Black Lake.

When the kitten was found, it was covered in blood and was dying. The wounds on its body looked unusual. They should have been caused by man-made magic. If it hadn't made the sound of "meow meow meow" from time to time, anyone would have mistaken it for it His soul has long gone to another country.

Originally, you could go to the school doctor Ms. Pomfrey for this kind of thing, but recently the school hospital is overcrowded, and she is so busy that she can't even take care of the patients, how can she find time to take care of this little thing, so Camelia can only With the mentality of giving it a try, go to Hagrid, who is good at taking care of animals.

Although Hagrid was more in contact with those big guys on weekdays, and he himself was too big to be scary, but he had to say that he was incredibly gentle when bandaging the kitten.

After bandaging the wound, Camelia carefully broke up the rock biscuits that Hagrid brought to entertain her and soaked them in hot milk. After the biscuits softened a bit, she carefully fed the biscuits with a wooden spoon. Injured cats eat because not only is it badly injured, it also looks famished.

"The poor little thing must have suffered a lot. I can't believe how those people can do it." Camelia couldn't help but say indignantly while feeding the cat.

Hagrid agreed, "These bad guys should all go to Azkaban!"

At this time, his old buddy Ya Ya was sitting at his feet, staring fiercely at the cat that was eating.Hagrid handed the medicine and bandages to Camelia and said, "I'd be happy to take care of it until it fully recovers, but Fangfang doesn't seem very happy. Maybe I can try to discuss it with him, and I will Make it understand that we have to take this little guy in."

Seeing Hagrid's troubled expression, Camelia quickly said, "Since it's inconvenient for you, leave it to me, and I'll take care of it."

"If that's the case, it's the best. Of course I believe you can take good care of it." Hagrid lowered his head and patted Yaya's head vigorously after he finished speaking, "Okay, don't worry about your ears, there's still you , just don’t like this little guy? I’m always happy when I make trouble for others.”

"Please don't teach Yaya, I'm the one who caused trouble for you." Camelia defended Yaya, "It's hard for most dogs and cats to be friends, this may be nature, no wonder it .”

Fang just turned his face aside, staring at the blazing fire, looking a little depressed, but without its threat, the cat nestled in Camelia's arms ate more happily.

When the cat was full, they went out of the hut together.

The hut was surrounded by the crude vegetable plot that Hagrid had opened up by himself. There were not many varieties of vegetables, and the low fence surrounded it loosely, but what was worth noting were those golden pumpkins that were so big that they were obviously abnormal. Their size was exaggerated It looks like a balloon that is fully inflated and looks like it will explode with one more breath. Hagrid excitedly introduced to Camelia that these pumpkins will be distributed in a big way on the coming Halloween. use.

"Bloat worked well," Camelia said when Hagrid admitted that he had done something special to make the pumpkin grow faster.

Hagrid laughed aloud, "Aha, but please don't tell anyone else about it, okay? Because you know, they don't allow me to use magic. But thank you for the compliment, Weasley the other day That's what the little girl at home told me."

Everyone in the Weasley family is easy to identify, because they all have the iconic red hair of the family without exception, and there are so many people that every Hogwarts student will know one or two Weasleys more or less , not to mention the existence of the Weasley twins who cannot be ignored as genius-level mischief experts, even if they don't want to know, it's hard.

After learning that Hagrid was referring to the little sister of the twins, Camelia frowned and said, "Why did she appear here?"

"She said she was just walking around, but I think she might be here to meet someone she wants to meet. It seems our little Harry is quite popular." Hagrid joked.

Camelia echoed him casually: "Potter is really cute."

"Haha, even you said that." He laughed and shook his beard, "Then you don't mind if I tell him this? I'm sure he will be very happy to hear that, not every little boy You can get compliments from pretty girls, right?"

Camelia just nodded politely and didn't say anything more.

The other side of the hut is also surrounded by a fence. A few roosters and a group of chicks are leisurely pecking, while the hens not far away are nestling in their nests and concentrating on hatching their eggs.

Seeing this scene, Camelia suddenly thought of something, and said to Hagrid beside her, "I think you should pay attention to those chickens."

Before Hagrid could ask why, she immediately added, "Because foxes often appear this season."

Coming out of the hut, on the way back to the castle, Camelia met the Slytherin Quidditch team. Each of them was holding a broomstick named Nimbus 2001 that was more uniform than their uniforms. See It looks like they are off the court, but all of them have angry faces on their faces.

Although it was far away, Camelia vaguely heard a few words, they were talking about how badly Hufflepuff played, and at this level, they were ashamed to drive away the best team in the school, and said It was a waste of resources for Hufflepuff to occupy the training ground, and of course they hadn't forgotten the other two teams in the school, but when Gryffindor was mentioned, they gritted their teeth.

It looks like it's another row because of the uneven distribution of venues, but Slytherin teams are notoriously unreasonable in this regard. Professor Pu issued a letter of approval, relying on this Slytherin to cut off the pre-booked venues of other college teams several times.

However, this trick can only bluff people at the beginning, and then the deans of other houses immediately gave countermeasures, because not only the deans of Slytherin, but also the deans of other houses want to win the Quidditch Cup. At the end of the term, there was a bright future. There was an unwritten rule at Hogwarts that the Quidditch Cup was more important than the House Cup.

Originally, Camelia wanted to walk more and avoid these irritable Slytherin players, but for some reason, the short-haired cat, which was very well-behaved in her arms, was suddenly frightened and struggled to escape from Camille. Liya jumped out of her arms, and started running desperately as soon as she landed.

You should never underestimate the flexibility of a cat, because it can run faster than you even if it is injured.

Camelia spent a lot of effort chasing it to the Quidditch pitch. When it finally stopped running and curled up into a ball of wool in a corner in front of the viewing stand, Camelia had no strength left. , panting, tried to get close to the cat, but the small body couldn't help shaking, and it seemed that he was not very willing to be approached.

Now the Hufflepuff team flew around on broomsticks overhead, they were training, their canary yellow training suits stood out against the blue sky, but Camelia didn't have time to pay attention to this, she was focused on Tied to the kitten, in order to comfort the little guy, she had to use the gentle tone she used to put her brother to sleep at home to make the cat put down its guard.

It may be that the little guy has calmed down a bit, and recognized the girl in front of him as his savior, so he acquiesced in allowing her to approach him, but when he was only a few steps away, his eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a loud cry. It stood upright, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Camelia heard urgent shouts from above, and soon she knew why, because a Bludger did not say hello, and was flying towards her direction, seeing the speed and strength of the ball made her It is not a problem for a person to lie in the school hospital for a week.

Seeing that the Bludger was about to greet her face, and had no time to dodge, Camelia could only close her eyes and cover her face in resignation to face the pain.But she didn't wait for the pain she imagined, but felt a huge wind passing by her ears quickly. At the same time, she felt that someone pulled her hard, and her body was suspended in the air for a moment, followed by a dull loud noise Driven her curiosity, asked her to open her eyes to see what happened.

When Camelia opened her eyes, what she saw was Cedric's magnified face. If he hadn't held her arm so hard that she felt such real pain, maybe she would have thought it was another duel. Nightmare caused by drug side effects.

"Are you all right?" Cedric said anxiously, and at the same time beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks from his forehead.

Camelia didn't realize until he spoke. At this time, they were sitting together in a strange posture on a broomstick, suspended in the air, and looked sideways at the place where she was standing just now. The ground is embedded in a big hole it made by itself.If it hadn't been for Cedric, it's hard to imagine what she would be like now.

Perhaps out of a mentality of surviving after a catastrophe, a few tears couldn't help but slid down with fluttering eyelashes and landed on the back of Cedric's hand.This is understandable, no matter who encounters such a frightening incident, they will be afraid, let alone she is a girl.

"Did I hurt you? Why are you crying?" Seeing her crying, Cedric looked even more panicked, and clumsily freed a hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Can you let me down, I'm scared so high." Camelia said tremblingly.

After hearing this request, Cedric carefully held her waist with one hand, and controlled the broom to land with the other hand.

Once on the ground, he immediately explained to Camelia, "I'm sorry, I don't know why the Bludger is not right today."

But before Camelia answered, those Hufflepuff players also flew over.

"Sed, you did a good job!" Their captain praised Cedric loudly before landing.

The batters are more concerned about Camelia's safety. After all, the Bludger almost hit someone, which is their fault. Said, "The Slytherins must have done it, and I say we should really sue them."

Another batsman with him said: "It's useless, and there is no evidence. What can I sue? And they won't admit it."

Their captain was very calm, as if he was used to it, and tried to persuade his teammates, "Snape is so partial to their academy, there is no reason for them to say anything. Fortunately, everyone is fine now, let's continue to concentrate on training." Well, now we can only make up for the losses we suffered on the field, and everyone should be more careful."

Seeing that everyone agreed, the captain smiled and nodded, then turned around and teased Cedric.

"Speaking of Seid, do you know each other? I've never seen you so nervous before."

Driven by his rhythm, everyone in the room chattered like they had discovered a new world. No wonder they all said that the most well-informed place about Hogwarts is in Hufflepuff.

"I can understand, it's a normal reaction to seeing a pretty girl," said one of the boys.

"But I, like the captain, don't see anything right. There must be something wrong with the two of you. Besides, the beautiful girl, we Seid have seen a lot."

"Don't tempt us, Ian has been mumbling these days, have you fallen in love behind his back recently?"

Facing the booing from his companions, Cedric could only smile helplessly and said: "You guys think too much, you are really just friends, don't hang around here, go to training."

It's not easy to send people away with just a few words, but all the people present are people with sense of proportion, they said a few innocuous jokes, and then they all went back to training.

"Why are you here? Even if it's best to take a walk, it's best to pick a time when no one is training. I can't show up to protect you every time like today." Cedric said after everyone left, his tone revealing Some blame, but more worry, no one will know how he felt when he saw Camelia on the top.

"I'm just chasing cats." For some reason, Camelia felt a little guilty when she met his eyes.

Cedric quickly looked around, but couldn't find any cat, so he asked, "Cat? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Did you raise it?"

"It's not my cat. It's a stray cat I just picked up today. It's still wounded. I don't know where it's gone now." Thinking of this, Camelia couldn't help but feel anxious.

Seeing her appearance, Cedric knew in his heart that the cat might be seriously injured, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll help you find it together. However, you are as amazing as that cat... ..."

But before he finished speaking, someone came over, not a member of the same team, but the Hufflepuff girl named Iris that Camelia met at the stairs last time, and she held her in her arms. It was the cat that people cared about, and Ian was following her.

Seeing that the cat was also found, Camelia was relieved.Iris recognized her as the girl from last time at a glance, and she was a little excited about it.

"Is this your cat? It took a lot of work to convince him that we didn't mean any harm," said Iris.

Ian's expression was slightly displeased, and he muttered, "Yeah, this little guy has a really bad temper, look at him being scratched by me."

After he finished speaking, he showed everyone the back of his hand. There were indeed a few deep scratches on it, and there were fresh blood beads hanging on it.

"I'm really sorry, this little thing has caused you trouble." Camelia looked at Ian. "Your wound needs to be dealt with quickly. If you don't mind, I can help you."

"Of course I don't mind. That's really...too polite. In fact, it's just a small injury. I'll just apply some medicine myself." Ian was delighted at first, but for some reason, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly changed his words.

"Is it really not necessary? Otherwise, I will feel sorry." Camelia said.

At this time, Cedric said leisurely, "This little injury is nothing to us boys, don't worry about it."

"Yeah, don't pay attention to this guy, he likes to exaggerate the facts." Iris said the same thing, but this time Ian didn't argue with her for the first time, but just kept giggling.

Although I said so, the wound still needs to be dealt with. Ian was finally taken to the players' lounge by Cedric to be bandaged. Iris and Camelia took the kitten and found a random place in the stands to wait for them. .

As soon as the two left, Iris couldn't wait to say: "I've never seen him fly so fast, maybe you are very important to him."

"If it were someone else, he would have chosen to do the same. He is so kind, and when he sees anyone who needs help, he will think of going up to help." Camelia bit her lower lip, and slowly uttered such a sentence.

But Iris refuted her, "He's really nice, we all know that, but it's not like random people can make him rush like that."

Noticing Camelia's expression was a bit awkward, Iris realized that maybe this shouldn't be talked about, she touched her nose, laughed and said, "I won't talk about it, but we are destined, or just tell me Friends. My name is Iris Sharp, the guy who yelled just now is Ian Haynes, we are in the same grade as Seid, did he mention us to you?"

Camelia shook her head, "No, in fact, I don't know him very well, I just met him a few times."

"Well, it looks like I was thinking too much. I thought you... But it's okay, it's normal for him to be boring. Don't look at the many girls who surround him every day in school. In fact, this guy is serious. How many girls I have come into contact with can be counted on my fingers. By the way, Ian, Ian, and he grew up together, and they were all assigned to Hufflepuff by coincidence, but don’t get me wrong that the two of them have always been Don't treat me as a girl, we are all good brothers."

As she was talking, she suddenly patted her head regretfully, turned her head and asked, "Look, I was only talking about myself, but I haven't asked your name yet, I'm so sorry."

"My name is Camelia Shafik, one level younger than you, from Ravenclaw." Perhaps because Iris felt the expression on her face was too cute, Camelia couldn't help explaining with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Iris was shocked when she heard this, "So you are Shafiq, you know? They've been talking about you recently, talking about a girl who makes Davis deflated."

"I just had an appointment with him, and then I didn't agree to date him." Camelia couldn't laugh or cry when faced with such an exaggerated statement.

"In fact, it is the wisest choice not to agree to date him. After all, the girl he has dated for the longest time is less than three months. This guy is also capable, and many girls are taken down by him after just one date. Yes, I just didn't expect to fall on you."

"Actually, it's not too bad, because he's looking for a new partner very quickly."

These words made Iris laugh, "He is really a playful, but you are indeed beautiful, and I think you are much more beautiful than those rumors say."

"No, I don't think I'm so beautiful." Camelia shook her head seriously.

"Real beauties are always so humble. If Merlin grants me such a face, I can wake up laughing from my dreams."

After Iris finished speaking, she remembered the kitten in her arms. Just now Camelia told them all about the cat.

"So what are you going to do with this little guy?"

"Let's take care of it for a while until its injury is completely healed. Although I would like to adopt it, my stepmother will never allow me to adopt a cat. If I adopt it, it means the holidays, He will most likely have to wander around the castle again as a stray cat because I can't bring him home and I don't want him to blame me for raising him and then ruthlessly abandoning him."

"Why don't you try to get your father to convince your stepmother, I heard them say that your father is very good to you."

"In fact, I had a cat before, but not long after my father remarried, we found that cat drowned in the fountain in the garden one day. But my stepmother, who has always been indifferent to me, is here Volunteered to compensate me afterwards with an owl that never made it to France, so now you see? That's why I couldn't adopt him."

"Then why don't you give it to me? I've always wanted to raise a cute cat. Would you like to let me be your master?" Iris said while stroking the cat's fur. , while the kitten rubbed her fingers affectionately, and seemed to really like her.

"It seems that it agreed, so I will have a cat." Iris said excitedly, "By the way, does it have a name? It doesn't seem too good to keep meowing."

"Not yet, I just met it today. Since you are going to be its master, you can give it a name."

Iris declined, "No, you are the one who saved it. You are kind to it. I want you to name it to make more sense."

So Camelia thought about it for a while, "Why don't you call it Cynthia, it means the moon."
