[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

Chapter 69 Original Sin

11-year-old Qiu Zhang is sitting obediently on a chair, dangling her two calves, staring at her mother's busy figure in the mirror with some reluctance, and her broken hair keeps falling down with the scissors flying in her mother's hand.

It was another annoying haircut day, but in Qiu's eyes, her hair was not long enough to cover her ears. Compared with cousin Wan who was far away in the east, she was nothing.

Ever since returning to her hometown with her parents last year, Qiu has never forgotten Cousin Wan's jet-black and beautiful long hair like a waterfall. Put it on the plate and fix it with a hairpin, just like a fairy.

However, adults would say that it is inconvenient to take care of such long hair, especially when Qiu is still young, she often needs the help of her mother to wash and comb her hair, and her mother is definitely unwilling to spend her precious time. Wasted on this.She always said that children should not spend so much time on dressing up and playing, but should spend more time on their studies. In her opinion, only children who are good at studying will succeed in the future.

Eastern wizards are more willing to get in touch with Muggles than Western wizards. They are tolerant of everything about Muggles, and they even live like ordinary Muggles. Therefore, Qiu is different from those wizards he met at Hogwarts. Classmates, before they received the owl letter, they had only received extremely unsystematic education at home. Some wizard children did not even know the simplest spelling and arithmetic problems when they entered school.

Qiu and a group of little Muggles nearby reported to the school with their schoolbags on their backs, but they were never taught magic at school. Similarly, Qiu had to be vigilant at all times, not letting anyone in the school know that she was a little witch. , and she went to school only because her parents firmly believed that the knowledge learned in Muggle school was also important.

Like most of the Eastern parents, Qiu's parents asked Qiu to study hard in school, and Qiu lived up to expectations. She always performed very well in school and was one of the few children in the class who were often praised by the teacher.But on the other hand, given that Qiu is a girl, they would sometimes feel distressed and say that they don’t expect her to be famous in the future. Girls don’t need to work so hard, anyway, they will marry in the future, and reading is just for icing on the cake. I can find a good marriage in the future, and it is not easy to find a good husband's family after reading too much.

Qiu couldn't quite understand these words, after all, she was so young, but they would always whisper in her ears, especially when she went back last year, a bunch of relatives who were not familiar with her also said the same, since everyone said so, Maybe it’s some kind of truth, the young Qiu could only write it down silently in her heart, but Tang Sister Wan told her that those grown-ups thought they knew everything, but in fact they didn’t understand anything, and what they said was all the truth. Shit, Jiaoqiu must not listen to them.

Cousin Wan is a few years older than Qiu. She has the tender face of a traditional oriental beauty, but her temper is unexpectedly fierce. Besides, she is very assertive, always speaks surprisingly, and likes to contradict her family. Come.She is always the first to jump out and question those things that adults take for granted. When someone retorts that the ancestors have said this for generations, there is a reason for it to be passed down.But she had never been afraid of the authority of her ancestors, she tossed her hair, and said that it must be right if it has always been like this?The old man in the family was so angry that she said that the child was so rebellious that she didn't even listen to the words of her ancestors.

Qiu likes cousin Wan very much, it can be said that she is in love with her, but not everyone can appreciate this kind of personality.Qiu’s mother used Cousin Wan as an example to educate Qiu, telling her not to learn from Cousin Wan, saying that Cousin Wan must have read too many books and made her mind stupid, and even said that as long as she can live happily, In the future, she would rather not marry and not have children, and said that if it wasn't for her family, she would be so spoiled by her, and she would not be willing to beat and scold her, but if she still behaves like this in the future, she will definitely suffer when she gets married.

In fact, Qiu thinks that cousin Wan is not what they call a "crazy girl". It can only be reflected in this aspect, but it is clear that no matter whether it is a man or a woman, everyone's future will be bright and colorful, instead of being bound for a lifetime.

But Qiu didn't dare to mention it, for fear that her parents would scold her too, and then they would be more demanding on her. Moreover, she was sympathetic to her parents, thinking that what they did was for her own good, and they would never harm her.

When Qiu came to her senses, she realized it was too late, because she didn't protest, so her mother simply cut her hair shorter than before, in order to save effort and postpone the next haircut.

Qiu with short hair and her healthy wheat-colored complexion makes him look like a handsome little boy. In fact, she doesn't like herself because she doesn't look like a little girl at all.In school, she was often excluded by children because of this incident. Girls thought she was dressed like a rough boy, while boys thought she was too weak and squeamish. No one wants to make friends with a fool who is studying, except for the child who is born with mental retardation in the class, who is willing to sit with her. That fool is friendly to everyone, even though many people are bullying him.

But it's useless to tell her parents what happened at school, they think that in this way she can concentrate on her studies without worrying about being disturbed by those bad kids, they don't play with her because they are jealous of her excellence, this kind of There is no need to pay attention to the situation. Originally, she was sent to school to let her learn something, not to make friends in the past, and it would be of no great use.They would always give her a bad promise that things would be different when she went to study at Hogwarts, where she would have friends and not have to work so hard to hide her wizarding status.

Even though what they said was so good, Qiu did not fail to protest. Why did she always dress up like a boy? My mother would dig out her previous photos and say that when she was a child, all the sisters in the family had their hair cut short. This is convenient for washing hair, and it is not easy to get lice. Life was hard in those days. Only rich people would pay attention to how to raise children. People who are not rich can feed their children. Thank God that they are not hungry.

At this time, my mother will inevitably say that raising a boy is really a lot of worry-free, but Qiu is a girl, there is no way to do it, and my mother is afraid that Qiu will remember what she heard, so she didn’t continue, and immediately changed the topic and educated her. At such a young age, we shouldn’t learn the style of Western girls’ favorite dressing. They should be more simple at this age. They should not be in a hurry to dress up now. It will look better.

Later, when Qiu recalled the time when she was a child, she was always suspicious that her parents liked to dress her up like a boy, maybe it was because she was afraid that she would put her mind on other things, some things they were particularly taboo, because in There is a saying in the East that Western children mature much earlier than Eastern children. Although her parents have been outside for so many years and learned to drink milk, eat bread, and dance foreign dances, they still cannot change those traditions in their bones. This is extremely Disappointing.

But the thought that they will go out to Diagon Alley to buy things for the start of school later makes Qiu feel very happy, so happy that the always annoying haircut day becomes cute, and she doesn't have to think about these troubles so often Yes.

For a wizard, the wand is very important, but most wizards in the East do not rely on the wand to cast magic. Like Qiu's parents, they only bought the wands after they came here, because Qiu went to Hogwarts. Ci studied western magic, so she had to do as the Romans did.

The Ollivander Wand Shop in Diagon Alley is said to be one of the best wand shops in the UK. Almost all wizards in the UK bought their first wands there. Qiu was no exception and went with her mother. Visited this one.

That day was the first time Qiu Zhang saw Kamilia Shafik. She was like a little angel in a portrait, with golden curly hair tied with a cute big bow and a rose-colored skirt , The small leather shoes are so bright that they can be used as a mirror.

When he saw her, Qiu subconsciously lowered his head and took a quick look at the large sports suit on her body, as well as the pair of dirty sneakers with no original color on her feet. They were all leftovers worn by the brothers and sisters at home. The clothes were Well, it just looks a bit old, and was brought back by frugal parents, who said that a set can be worn for a few years.

Although the news about the Shafiq family was well known at that time, Qiu's parents only liked to read the newspapers from the East. Only Qiu's father, Mr. Zhang, subscribed to the "Daily Prophet" because of work needs, but this newspaper was often used by Mrs. Zhang to wipe the glass without even reading it.

Qiu was not allowed to read newspapers, just because the "Daily Prophet" often published unscrupulous gossip and anecdotes, which made people wonder whether it was the most authoritative newspaper in the British wizarding world.

Qiu and her mother were unaware of what happened in Shafiq's house, and they obviously didn't know each other, but her mother took Qiu to greet the father and daughter. It seemed that she had made a decision for Qiu, and believed that her daughter should be friends with each other. down this friend.

Adults are always like this. When Qiu was in a Muggle school, her parents asked her to observe the classmates after work, and gave her a long list of the characteristics of friends worth making. Qiu couldn't remember, but Fortunately, there are no children in the school who are willing to play with her, which saves her some trouble.

After the two adults chatted briefly for a while, they inevitably had to compare the children. Qiu's mother liked this part the most, but she never thought that Miss Shafik, who looked like a doll, broke her understanding of the beautiful children who couldn't read. of this traditional concept.In the end she kept silent, her eyes wandering back and forth between the two children, which made Qiu feel very tormented.

Fortunately, Mr. Ollivander, the old wand seller, finally packed Miss Shafik's wand. I saw him coming out from the back of the warehouse with a well-polished wand box in his hands, and handed the box to her. While there, he was talking about the properties of this pear wand that Camelia had got.

If Qiu hadn't seen and heard it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that there would really be a girl in her life who could be as perfect as a princess in a fairy tale. That was the first time she wanted to be more like a girl than ever before. .

After Shafiq and his daughter left, Qiu also began to look for her wand impatiently, but unfortunately she was not chosen for the pear wood wand, but after trying many wands, the wand she finally got She was also satisfied when she fit perfectly with her. At that time, she didn't know that it would become a knot in her heart in the future.

Qiu met Marietta Ackmore on the train to Hogwarts. At that time, she happened to be bullied by a group of naughty little boys. Wearing a dress, several people laughed and asked her if she was a man or a woman. Only Marietta stepped forward at this time. Not only that, she also generously introduced her friends to Qiu.This made Qiu very grateful at that time, and almost immediately decided in her heart that Marietta would be her best friend in the future, even though she didn't tell anyone about this idea, she just thought about it silently in her heart.

What surprised Qiu was that the righteous girl who had put her hips on her hips and scolded those bad boys not long ago turned out to be a different person in front of Camelia.

At that time, Qiu didn't understand why Marietta and her friends would speak harsh words to such a gentle girl. She was obviously just saying hello to everyone, but she didn't know what happened to the sudden ridicule from everyone around her.

In any case, everyone's mocking of Camelia reminded Qiu of those unpleasant experiences in school before. Like a group of boys, but she never had the courage to abandon the hard-won friendship to satisfy the so-called sense of justice. Mom pulled the little witch who had greeted her and her dad, who seemed so inconspicuous, so after weighing it all, she found that all she could do was keep silent around Marietta.

Because I didn't choose to stand up for the first time, and I didn't stand up later.

At that time, Qiu still liked Camelia very much, and she didn't even realize that she had already regarded her as everything a perfect girl should be.

I don't know if it's because of how much older she was, but when Qiu went to Hogwarts to study, she was no longer as dull as she was in Muggle schools when it came to gender-related matters. Not long after school started, she quickly noticed that some beautiful girls would Boys always get more attention.

Marietta had a crush on a boy named Eddie Camilleche in their same courtyard, but this boy would trouble Camelia almost every day, although it was always some unexpected pranks, Sometimes it would be too much to make Camelia cry, but Marietta was jealous because Eddie paid so much attention to Camelia. She cried to the girls that she went to talk to Eddie, and he was always not very good. Pay attention to her, but as soon as the boy sees Camelia, he can't wait to post her whole body.

As early as the first day of school, the freshmen would go to the castle by boat according to the traditional custom, and Eddie was called out among the freshmen for pushing Camelia off the boat.

The freshman guide Hagrid quickly fished Camelia who was flopping in the water to his big boat, and thoughtfully wrapped her shivering with a thick blanket, and then he asked Eddie to do it for her. This apology, but seeing that the other party didn't take it seriously at all, he threatened that if he didn't apologize well, he would tell Professor Dumbledore the truth, because Dumbledore was the headmaster and naturally had the right to decide where a naughty student should go. Keep.

I don't know whether it was because of Hagrid's threat, because he was afraid that he would be expelled from the school on the first day of school, or because of guilt in his heart, Eddie finally apologized, but who would have thought that he and Camelia would be together later? They were assigned to Ravenclaw again, and Eddie bullied Camelia even more as if he was taking revenge.Although he has been bullying her, everyone can see that Eddie pays close attention to her and talks about her name all day long.

Qiu was probably influenced by Marietta, thinking that being bullied like this is not necessarily a bad thing, because it is always better to be bullied by boys than they are not cared about at all. At the same time, Qiu also noticed that Gryffindor's O Deli Federi is also a pretty girl, and there are many boys around her.

Although there are still many children staring at Qiu's hair and talking about things in this new school, Qiu has quickly adapted to the life of learning magic and found the joy of being a wizard.

In the compulsory flying class of the first grade, even though he had never touched a broomstick before, Qiu learned faster than everyone in the class, flying no less than those boys.Because of her outstanding performance in class, Mrs. Hooch praised her for being extremely talented, and said that if Cho was interested in Quidditch, she could recommend Cho to the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain, maybe in the college candidate team After several years of training, Qiu might be able to join them.

When she heard that she could become a member of the college's Quidditch team, Qiu was very excited, because under the influence of her father, she liked Quidditch very much, and this was the only common point between her and her father.But in this family, her mother strictly forbids her to play Quidditch, saying that it is a barbaric sport only played by boys, but Qiu thinks that her mother is wrong. Quidditch is obviously a sport that both men and women can participate in, and it is not barbaric at all. .

Therefore, Qiu never told his parents about his talent in flying and his plan to enter the academy team before he was officially selected. Even the first broom in his life was spent on lucky money secretly saved during the Spring Festival in the East. She bought it because she was afraid that her parents would say that she was playful, didn't study hard at school, and devoted all her attention to playing Quidditch. Regarding this point, she still couldn't understand why her parents were always so boring in certain things.

Although wizards have to learn very different things from Muggles, it is undeniable that parents are right. The spelling and arithmetic learned in Muggle schools in the early years of autumn are still very useful and have helped a lot, and Compared with those students from wizarding families who have not received systematic education, Qiu, who has studied for several years, can adapt to school life faster than them, and has a lot of self-discipline in his daily studies, so he doesn't need to be worried at all.

And because she takes it seriously, Qiu's homework is not bad, but no one can compare with Camelia in terms of study. She always seems to be able to learn her homework very well without any effort, and it is In every subject except flying, all the professors except Snape were full of praise for her.

It's just that Camelia suffers from a serious congenital heart disease. For this reason, Mr. Shafik made a special trip to the school to explain the situation, so Mrs. Hooch only allowed her to suspend a few meters above the ground and slide slowly, for fear that she would The accident happened, and the requirements for her were not high at all. Not only was she exempted from the exam, but she also made it very clear that as long as she knew some basics of riding a broom, she would be considered excellent in this class. The girls feel dissatisfied, and they love to point out Camelia in private, saying why the teachers give her such special treatment.

Qiu didn't think there was any problem with this. After all, she was in a special situation. She thought that if she were Camelia, she would be extremely envious of their healthy children. It would be better not to have beauty and good grades at the expense of health. Woolen cloth.But apart from Qiu, those girls didn't seem to think of these things.

Few children would make fun of Camelia about the Squibs anymore, because the rumors have long been self-defeating, but even so, the girls who were assigned to Ravenclaw still didn't like her. Marie is also just jealous of her excellence and family background, while those naughty boys in the same courtyard take pleasure in bullying her in order to attract her attention. People from other colleges have little contact with each other on weekdays. They only occasionally talk in class together. They probably have heard that no one in the same academy wants to play with Camelia. Almost everyone’s first reaction is that no one plays with her. That is her own problem. He also avoided her.

This made Camelia always alone, but she never seemed to complain about it.In the first two years when Qiu knew Camelia, she always had a smile on her face, but then the smile gradually disappeared, and the light in her eyes also disappeared little by little. But at that time, Qiu already hated Camila, and she didn't want to care about what happened to the girl who used to have stars in her eyes.

From Qiu’s point of view, everything in Ravenclaw College is good, but in such a college that advocates and pursues wisdom, you can see that there are a lot of students who devote their enthusiasm to the height of the egg’s fall. The result is such a seemingly meaningless experiment, and you can also find that such students are often extraordinarily indifferent in terms of interpersonal communication, and even most of them have no empathy ability, but some of them are better than students from other colleges. Very tolerant of heterogeneity.

In the second grade, Qiu was recommended by Mrs. Huo Qi and successfully entered the list of candidates for the Ravenclaw team. She almost squeezed out all her extracurricular time for training, eager to become an official player as soon as possible. She is determined to become an excellent Seeker in the future.

However, it is very difficult to become a Seeker. Not everyone is a once-in-a-century talented player like Harry Potter. Before becoming an official Seeker, Qiu also suffered a lot and secretly shed a lot of tears.There was a time when she thought about giving up, but she was very lucky to meet Cedric Diggory who also worked hard to become a Seeker.

That tall Hufflepuff boy who didn't talk much had actually left a deep impression on Qiu a long time ago. It was hard not to ignore his handsome appearance, which had not faded from his childishness.When Qiu is training, he can often see Cedric. He always looks so hard-working, and his unique skill of turning around suddenly makes Qiu amazed. The player's flexibility has been repeatedly rejected by the team. It is said that they want him to be a chaser or a goalkeeper, but he is determined to be a seeker. For this reason, he practiced desperately. Self-improvement, hoping to break through their prejudices one day.

Qiu in the second grade didn't know anything about He Weili, she only knew that this big Hufflepuff boy who was older than her was different from the boys she had been in contact with before. Every time she saw him on the court, she was full of joy, but she didn't know There were already many girls staring at Cedric, and she was just one of them.

After more than a year of hard work, Qiu's hair has grown a lot in the second grade, at least she will no longer be considered a tomboy. On the other hand, she began to learn to dress up with the help of Marietta and other friends. Over the years The stinky nature that had been suppressed by her parents was gradually awakened, and her mother was displeased with these changes at first. It's really not good to be a tomboy, so Qiu promised that she wouldn't affect her studies, and then she didn't care much about it. In fact, she was also very happy to see her daughter become more beautiful.

Since Qiu became beautiful, she realized that the luck of beautiful girls is much better than that of ordinary girls, but Qiu ignored that Camelia's beauty did not bring her good luck at all.

Camelia in second grade started wearing ridiculous black-rimmed glasses to hide the birthmark in the corner of her eye, because at the time they were all saying she made a deal with the devil and sold her soul for Magic talent, the birthmark on the corner of the eye is left by the devil.

For some reason, this joke that came from no one knows where it came from spread more and more widely. Everyone ran to stare at Camelia's birthmark, which troubled her unceasingly, and she had to come up with such a way to conceal it.

Because of this pair of glasses and those rumors, Camelia's appearance in the eyes of the boys was greatly reduced, and they were identified as outright "weird girls".Eddie Camille, who was always pestering her before, suddenly realized that he no longer talked about Camelia all the time, and still liked to play some naughty pranks when he met her, but he did it just for fun and didn't mix it up anymore. Mix any thoughts that want to get her attention in it.On the other hand, Marietta and the others also got more reasons to bully Camelia.

A few days after school started, they kicked her out of the dormitory, and threw all her things out without even saying hello, just because they wanted her to vacate her place so that Qiu Neng, who lived in the next room, could move. come over.

When he thought that it was his own fault that caused the other party to be locked out of the door, he would have no place to go for the whole night, maybe he could only sleep on the hard sofa in the common room without a quilt.Qiu felt very guilty about this. For the first time, he had an argument with Marietta and the others about Camelia. This kind of girl is not worthy of sympathy at all, so let her leave her alone.

But Qiu didn't listen to these words, she got up secretly in the middle of the night guiltily, and wanted to see Camelia who might be sleeping in the common room, but she didn't find Camelia in the lounge, So she took the risk of being locked up and went on a night tour for the first time in her life.

Many years later, Qiu has forgotten how she found the Astronomy Tower that night, but what she remembers clearly is that she hated Camelia just like her friends around her.

That late autumn at the Astronomy Tower, I saw that Cedric, who was recognized by everyone as not talkative, kept talking excitedly to the masked girl sitting next to him. She had never seen Cedric like that before. Ke, it was also at that time that Qiu vaguely realized that she seemed to have fallen in love with Cedric, but he was sitting there talking and laughing with another girl. The sum of what he said to her for so many days may add up. Not as much as he said to that girl in 5 minutes, and that girl was Camelia.

At that time, Qiu hated Camelia as much as he liked Cedric.

The author has something to say:

Autumn Zhang’s English original name is ChoChang. To be honest, I don’t think it’s a Chinese name at first. There is a saying that Cho is a Japanese name, which means flower butterfly, but there is no clear statement in the original book that she It's a Chinese girl, and Rowling didn't make it clear, it seems that because the actor in the movie is Chinese, so many people mistakenly think that Qiu is a Chinese girl, but there has never been an official explanation on this point, although there are many Places are all Chinese-style ideas, but I think it's a little more rigorous and use the East instead of China.

In addition, for the character of Qiu, I have said many times that due to the needs of the plot, a major change must be made to the character. You only need to treat her as a character with the same name and surname, not the Qiu in the original book.Although I don't like Qiu in the later stage, she is a very cute girl in the original book, including the actress sister who plays this role in the movie.

What I want to emphasize about this episode is that the plot is all about the previous life. As for the story of Qiu, there is still a chapter. The episode "Original Sin" is set to be a story of three supporting characters. Currently, Marietta and Qiu are written.

I have thought about all the stories related to the protagonist, but as for the stories of other supporting characters, my original plan was that the supporting actresses who often appear around the protagonist must be written, but since I feel more and more powerless recently, I don’t think so. I want to write it, if you really have a supporting role story that you are very interested in, please click it in the comment area, I will be satisfied, if no one clicks, I should not write it.
