[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

Chapter 9 9. Listen

There was a cold wind blowing in the Astronomy Tower that day. Although Camelia took a hot bath immediately after returning home, her throat began to feel a little uncomfortable the next day. She didn't take it seriously at first, but then The cold symptoms became more and more obvious for a few days, until she felt weak and dizzy when she woke up this morning.

The new roommate, April Fawcett, was the first to notice that something was wrong with Camelia. After washing, she found Camelia, who was fully dressed, sitting on the edge of the bed with blank eyes and motionless. It is not difficult to see from the expression that she seems to have no idea what she is going to do next. When talking to her, she gets vague answers. At the same time, her cheeks are so red that she looks like those who steal her mother's cosmetics The smug child, Mei Zizi scribbled a face like a monkey's butt on himself.

After April finished touching her head, she understood what was going on. Camelia's body was astonishingly hot, even if it was the temperature that cracking an egg would cook it on her forehead.So April decided to drag Camelia to the auditorium to have breakfast, and then send her to the school hospital, but Camelia is burning badly now, maybe she didn't understand what April was talking about, She kept smiling foolishly and repeatedly nodded and said yes, such a harmless appearance of being at the mercy of people and animals made Aprile mutter in her heart, this girl doesn't look as smart as the professor said.

Camelia's former roommate was named Cora Field, who was in the same grade as her. This girl was neither beautiful nor smart, and even had a very bad personality. The only thing that attracted attention was the acne on her face. Ridiculous and ostracized, even though she and Camelia seemed in some ways to be sympathetic, there was always a belief in Cora's heart that they were different.

Facing the olive branch thrown by Camelia, Cora Field dismissed it, and always suspected that Camelia would tarnish her reputation, because people always say that like attracts like, and people divide in groups, and she is afraid that this is how they will be viewed. Yes, so except in the dormitory, she rarely talked to Camelia in public, even if the other party came to find her.Whenever this roommate is bullied by pranks, Cora Field is always the one who hides the most cheerful smile in the crowd, as if gloating is her innate talent.But in fact she didn't realize at all that with or without Camelia, the other students still didn't want to talk to her, would still laugh at her acne, and would still think she was a nuisance.

The reason why they were assigned to a dormitory was that their dean, Professor Flitwick, had no choice but to try to mediate the conflicts between the girls. Originally, Camelia was in the same dormitory with Marietta Eckmore and the others. But since Marietta and Camelia broke up in the first grade, other people in the dormitory couldn't wait to go to Professor Flitwick to protest not long after the new school year started, because they wanted Qiu Zhang Instead, they even threw all of Camelia's luggage out before going.

The easygoing Professor Flitwick was furious for the first time in front of his students, but soon he found that his authority was not enough to make those crazy girls change their minds, but made them feel that what they wanted was taken for granted, and they didn't think so There is nothing wrong with excluding others, let alone feel guilty about it, because Camelia was about to be ostracized, and there are many reasons for excluding her, always being favored by the professors can be counted as one, but they did not Realizing that behind this exclusionary behavior is actually their unbalanced psychology, the source of jealousy towards others.

The girls in another dormitory followed suit and rebelled. This caused Professor Flitwick, who had already had a headache, to let Camelia and another unpopular girl in the dormitory, that is, Cora Field shared a two-person room together, but fortunately the castle is big enough and there are enough rooms.

However, Professor Flitwick is really partial to his favorite student. He feels that he has wronged Camelia. After this incident, he pays her more attention. He often gives her some fun gadgets in private, sometimes It was small cakes and candies, both of which were given to her alone, but this kind of care, which came entirely from the teacher, was later distorted by those with malicious intentions into an improper teacher-student relationship.

To be honest, Cora Field is really not a good roommate. She is selfish, likes to shirk responsibility whenever she encounters a problem, and never finds problems on herself. In Camelia's view, her few advantages are only Just allow yourself to sleep with a night light on until dawn.

People like this can actually get along with each other. They usually do their own things. I don’t hinder you, and you don’t hinder me. It’s not impossible to unite for the common benefit once in a while, but last week Kami Leah found out that her good roommate was rummaging through her personal belongings again without her permission.

As early as when they first lived together, Camelia found that this roommate's hands and feet were not clean. Although Cora did not lack some things, she knew that Camelia used them well, even if An ordinary-looking barrette on her head might be worth several Galleons, and she had her own way of talking about taking advantage of others.

There are so many candies and snacks that Camelia can’t eat by herself, and there are so many bottles of cosmetics that Camelia can’t use by herself, and they are all imported, so it’s a waste of money. pity.

In fact, these things don’t matter to Camelia, she can take whatever she wants, and pretend nothing happened, but Cora Field is the kind of person who gets worse the more she indulges, the more she indulges, the worse she gets. The result of connivance is that now she not only likes to take other people's things, but also likes to read Camelia's private letters and diaries. The content is shared with those girls who don't like Camelia, maybe they want to integrate into their small group.

This time, just after Camille was caught, Cora Field was still stubborn and refused to admit it. Camille also changed her previous attitude and asked the other party not to do this again in the future. In the past, Camille Ya was silent, so Cora was surprised that she was so stubborn suddenly, but she was used to being domineering. Seeing Camelia dared to educate her, she became more rude, and she did not act guilty at all. She even brought out the rumors outside to humiliate Camelia face to face, saying that her mother was a scheming woman who relied on the love potion to get to the top. She has become a vixen, she winks and glances at those boys in school all day long, and is also keen to play with them.

Because of her words, Camelia slapped her face unbearably, and then the two of them wrestled into a ball in the dormitory without any surprise.

On the same day, Camelia went to Professor Flitwick to apply for a roommate change. Before he could elaborate on the situation, the professor knew something was wrong just by seeing the scratches on her face and arms. After listening to her request It was agreed on the spot.So Camelia roomed with her first-year senior, April Fawcett, whose former roommate was out of school because of a family accident.

About April Fawcett, Camelia knew nothing about her before, but Professor Flitwick made a guarantee with her, saying that April was a nice person but not talkative, and told her not to too worried.

How quiet is that?April could have stayed silent for days if she didn't have to.Her whole body looks cold, like a piece of ice, and she doesn't seem to fit in well, but her sort of out-of-group is different from Camelia's forced out-of-group nature, she She is spontaneously staying away from the crowd, and only likes to be alone in a corner and do her own thing quietly. However, she is really a good person and loves to be clean. Camelia is already very satisfied with her love of cleanliness.

By the time April took Camelia to the auditorium for dinner, there were already many people sitting there enjoying their breakfast.

For several days after Halloween night, the students talked about nothing but the attack on Mrs. Norris.

For one thing, it was Filch's performance that kept everyone from forgetting about it. He often walked up and down the place where Mrs. Norris was killed, as if thinking that the attacker would come again, and all he had to do was to kill him. Grabbing it, he tried to scrub the writing on the wall with Mrs. Skoll's All-Purpose Miracle Stain Remover, but in vain, the writing still gleamed on the stone wall.If Filch wasn't staying there, he would wander the corridors of the castle with his red eyes staring, and then suddenly pounce on the unsuspecting students, trying to find excuses to put them in solitary confinement, as if he wanted to Reduce inner grief.

The second reason is that everyone is very interested in the secret room left by Slytherin. It is said that many students have frequently asked Professor Binns in the history of magic class recently. This may be the first time that everyone can behave in the history of magic class. So attentive, but this also led to the ghost professor having to make a rule later, strictly forbidding anyone to ask him anything related to the secret room, but this still couldn't stop the students' terrible thirst for knowledge.

Now all "Hogwarts: A School History" in the library has been snatched up, and those who registered to borrow it have been waiting for two weeks.

Some students are keen to know everything about the Chamber of Secrets, while others are keen to speculate on who is the heir of Slytherin who opened the Chamber of Secrets.Most people are now suspicious of Harry Potter, because he and his two friends were the first to the attack when it happened, and they were absent from the party, which alone makes him look extremely suspicious.But some people think that even if the heir of Slytherin is a Hufflepuff, it is impossible to be a Gryffindor, and many people agree with this view, and some people think that the pure-blood wizard currently studying at Hogwarts The descendants are all listed, and I plan to check them one by one.

Because of the fever, Camelia had no appetite, didn't want to eat anything, and couldn't eat anything. April had no choice but to persuade her to drink some porridge to fill her stomach, but she was like a child at this time, He lost his temper and kept stirring the bowl of light porridge with a spoon in dissatisfaction, but he refused to take a sip until he was knocked on the head by April, and he honestly picked up the bowl and drank it slowly after eating the pain. April became more and more convinced that the girl must not be very bright.

But before the porridge was finished, Cora Field approached her. This person is thick-skinned. She had a fierce fight with Camelia a while ago. Now she deliberately yelled at Camelia. Ask her why she didn't attend the banquet that night, if she was busy with some ulterior secrets, such as opening the secret room.

When she said this, a few students who happened to be sitting not far from them were discussing the matter of the secret room. I have to say that she was very good at aiming at the timing and chose to make trouble at this time, and Camelia, who was feverish, was completely Dazed, his consciousness was sluggish, why did this annoying guy suddenly sit over, and faced a series of questions from the other party, he didn't react for a long time.

April, who doesn't like to talk, just keeps quiet, and she is a blockbuster. She pulled Camelia to her side, "Why are you the prefect selected in advance for this year? Ask so many? In Hogwarts Ci has been here for four years, and I have never heard that such things as whether or not to attend a banquet need to be reported to others, and I remember clearly that even if the prefects have privileges, they are not big enough to restrict others Free yourself."

"I'm not a prefect, but can't I care about why my classmates are absent? What you said is clearly sowing discord."

"Caring about your classmates? Sowing discord? With your brain, you can still say such things. I underestimated you. It seems that your brain is still bigger than that of the troll. The dinner party has clearly passed for several days Yes, you just came to ask about your health now, I think you specially picked my roommate to bully her when she had a high fever. She just didn't feel well that day and went back to the dormitory early, I can testify for her. "

Cora Field's face, which was already ugly because of acne, became bruised and purple because of April's words, making it even more unreadable.

Camelia, who was sandwiched between the two, hadn't figured out the situation until now, and showed April the clean bowl with a smirk, but seeing that she didn't respond, she looked around by herself, looking at it. After arriving at Cora beside her, she thought she had found the real reason why April didn't praise her, so she immediately turned to April and said, "Are you guys arguing now? Then shouldn't I sit here and get in the way?" You? By the way, what else do I have to say, ah, I forgot..."

April held Camelia, who was about to get up to make room for their so-called quarrel, with one hand, and rested her forehead with the other hand, looking extremely helpless, "Merlin's stinky socks, if you continue to burn them, it will be real." If you are confused, hurry up and go to the school hospital with me."

After walking out of the auditorium, Camelia remembered what she forgot to say, and she stuck to April like a kitten, "April, you are so kind, thank you."

"Don't think too much, I'm just afraid that you will infect me with the disease. Get well soon, I don't need to worry about it all day, and stay away from me."

April disgusted and pushed Camelia, but the latter hung on to her body, no matter how much she pushed, she couldn't push her away. April had nothing to do with her, so she could only do that.

When they arrived at the school hospital, Ms. Pomfrey prescribed a bottle of refreshment to Camelia after seeing it, and gave some additional tranquilizers, and specially asked April to wait until the effect of the refreshment expired before giving Kamelia Miria drank some tranquilizers and let her sleep well, and she would be fine when she woke up.

This sounds simple, but what is more troublesome is that Camelia insists on saving all the willful times in her daily life until she has a fever when she has a fever.The rumored young lady who was spoiled by her family is not a fiction at this time. Anyway, April has seen what kind of wayward Miss Shafik is like.

There are a lot of lower grade students in the school hospital today, it is not good for April to blatantly use the simplest and most direct violence to intimidate Camelia, because it will have a bad impact, and there is a Gran standing not far from them Fendor's prefect, the notoriously stern Percy Weasley, was also busy giving his little sister a boost.

After the little sister of the Weasley family drank the medicine, the steam rushed out from her ears and head covered by red hair, which made her hair redder and looked like her head was on fire.

After seeing the little sister's feat, April wanted to use it as an excellent case to educate Camelia, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by the arrival of Cedric and Ian.

"April, why are you here? Is something uncomfortable?" Ian found April before Cedric.

After saying hello to both of them, Aprili waved the refreshing potion in her hand to the two of them, then pointed to Camelia who was sitting on the hospital bed holding her waist and leaning her head on her and said : "Well, this child is sick and disobedient, and refuses to drink medicine no matter what."

"Camelia?" Cedric couldn't help laughing when he saw Camelia hanging on April's body like a koala, and the latter looked up at him, knowing that he was calling him, and ordered nod.

April's eyes lingered between the two for a while, "Hey, do you know each other very well? You already know your Christian names."

Ian rushed to answer for Cedric: "It's not just familiarity, this kid Ced loses his soul every time he sees her."

Cedric pushed Ian lightly and said, "On the way you just came, you kept crying and howling that the wound hurt so badly that it would be infected if you didn't bandage it right away. Why are you not in a hurry now? Why are you still dawdling around? Let April accompany you to find Madam Pomfrey to get a bandage."

After being told by Cedric, April became concerned about Ian belatedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Ian was wronged and raised his hand to show her. There were two or three finger-wide scratches bleeding out. If you looked closely, you could see four or five scratches beside the scratches. Little scratches that weren't obvious, "Look, Iris's stinky cat scratched me like this. Wait, I said I was going to throw it in the black lake to feed the giant squid sooner or later. , let it know how powerful I am, and if it dares to scratch me after seeing it."

"You're going to throw it into the black lake, who will you scratch if it doesn't tickle? Okay, I've never seen you like this, what kind of evil can a kitten have?" April looked at it disdainfully Ian glanced.

"Why not? You were all deceived by its appearance."

While they were talking, Cedric had already walked over and tried to get Camelia off April, but as soon as he touched her hand, Cedric frowned subtly, more than He imagined the temperature was much higher.

He said to April: "Give me the medicine, and I'll see if I can coax her to drink it."

April was skeptical about this, but she still gave him both the refreshing potion and the tranquilizing potion, repeated Madam Pomfrey's words again, and then cursed and pushed Ian to bandage him.

After they left, Cedric sat on the edge of the hospital bed and held Camelia's hand and said, "They're all gone, can this young lady tell me why I lose my temper and refuse to take the medicine obediently?"

Camelia's cheeks were as red as two red apples at this moment, and anyone who looked at them couldn't help but want to take a bite. She pointed to Cedric mysteriously at the people who were waiting at the corner of the school hospital. Then he leaned over to his ear and said in a low voice, "Did you see those people? They all look like idiots."

The scorching breath sprayed evenly on Cedric's earlobes and pinnae. The girl's body leaned against him as if she had no bones, which made him a little distracted. The Adam's apple slid up and down. The ground slid down to her waist, and he has maintained this position since then, without moving again.Because at this moment, he realized that it was wrong to take advantage of others. For a moment, he only felt his whole body become stiff, and he prayed that Camelia would not move in the future.

"Just because of this?" He smiled reluctantly.

After seeing Camelia nod her head obediently, Cedric couldn't help complaining in his heart why April had to speak ill of the child. She was obviously quite obedient, but she was not obedient, but she just refused to take the medicine, so spend more time It's good to coax.

"Even though they look like idiots, you're far smarter than them, and I promise I won't laugh at you."

But the child still stared at the refreshing potion without saying a word, with a hesitant expression, so Cedric said, "Wait for me."

I thought he was going to complain to Ms. Pomfrey, but I didn't expect that he brought a cloth curtain and carefully surrounded the hospital bed so that people outside could not see inside.After finishing these things, Cedric sat down next to the hospital bed again, and took a new refreshment from his pocket.

"Let's drink together, even if you really look like a fool, at least you are not alone, and I will accompany you."

Camelia looked at him and said slowly, "Cedric, you are an idiot."

"The big idiot can be a big idiot, but the big idiot is willing to drink medicine with the little idiot." Cedric reached out and rubbed her head, messing up her hair.

Two hours later, Camelia drank the tranquilizer after her fever subsided after drinking the tranquilizer. Not long after drinking the tranquilizer, she fell into a drowsy sleep. Cedric was relieved and helped her carefully. Tuck up the corners of the quilt.He struggled in his heart for a long time, but he still felt that it was too shameful to take advantage of others at this moment. In the end, he only dared to put a kiss on the back of her hand.

After doing this, Cedric walked out thinking in his heart that if he went out now, he might still be able to catch up with the second class in the morning, but when he walked to the door, he found that Ian hadn't left yet, and was waiting outside the door he.

The guy put his arm around Cedric's shoulder with his other good hand, and whispered to him, "You're not sick, what kind of medicine are you taking? And you're saying you're an idiot, why don't we go to St. Mungo check his head."

Cedric took his hands off his shoulders, "Where's April?"

"I said I was going to class, otherwise it would be too late and I would leave. I don't know how to care about me... Forget it, I have been used to it for so many years. Have you thought about how to repay me? Look at what I did for you this time." Happiness, you have made such a great sacrifice." Ian raised his bandaged hand to his eyes and said confidently.

"Next time you go to Hogsmeade, whatever you want to drink or eat, I'll treat you."

"That's it?"

"Do you want it? If you don't want it, there's nothing left."

"Of course, who said I don't want it."

When Camelia woke up, it was already noon. Originally, she planned to get up and go to the auditorium for dinner, but Iris came to visit with food when she heard that she was sick, and the two settled for lunch at the school hospital.

Iris said: "April is your roommate now? Did she tell you about her and the three of us?"

Camelia shook her head. Except for today, the total number of words that April has spoken in front of her these days may not be ten sentences. She also tried to talk to April, but April always She looks very cold, she doesn't seem to be interested in anything, maybe she really doesn't like to talk.

Next Iris told her that the Fawcetts and the Diggorys had been neighbors for many years.When April was seven years old, she and her mother came to live with her aunt who lived near Ferret Mountain. Since then, the three women have been dependent on each other. Until now, April has been taciturn since she was a child. It will be a little more, she has always liked to be alone, although she grew up together, she doesn't play with children who live nearby.

April, who is not talkative, has been beautiful since she was a child. Iris said that she is probably the first love of many boys around them. Although neither Cedric nor Ian made it clear, but Iris guessed that they both liked April.

"Is she their first love?" Camelia asked curiously after hearing this.

"That's right, the two of them broke up because of April, and I had to be in the middle to mediate for several days. But April doesn't like either of them, she seems to like one of the Weasleys. Son, I don't know which one it is, she refused to tell me clearly. I guessed it myself, either it was the eldest son of the Weasley family, or it was Percy Weasley, but it was both of us when we were very young. It's time to do it, and she definitely doesn't like it now."

While talking, Iris sighed.

"However, April's life experience is quite pitiful. I heard adults say that her mother was pregnant out of wedlock. Later, when she was still in her mother's womb, the man left their mother and daughter and ran away. She still took her mother's surname. Yes. Didn’t I say before that their mother and daughter went to Ferret Mountain to join her aunt, and these two women raised April together. Her aunt was also married before, and divorced for some reason She went back to her original surname after the divorce and has been alone ever since, a therapist in St Mungo's, and she's well paid."

"Well, I heard her aunt worked at St. Mungo's."

"April is alright, but her self-esteem is too strong. You should be more careful when you are with her in the future. Don't ask about her father. It's better not to talk about your father in front of her."

But compared to April's family affairs, Camelia cares more about Cedric's first love is her.

The author has something to say:

Here comes a new character. By the way, let’s talk about the character of the heroine. It seems that I have never talked about it. In fact, Camelia’s natural personality is quite lively, and she is not very withdrawn. Otherwise, she would not play well with Iris. , in comparison, the new characters that appear in this chapter are really withdrawn and cold.

Not every depressed patient is like Sister Lin, who can tell that she is depressed at a glance. Some are laughing and joking all day long, but many of them are suffering from depression. For this point, please refer to why most comedians suffer from depression. This kind of People seem to be very happy, but their hearts are actually extremely painful. Camelia is this kind of depression patient. In the article, Cedric always says that she looks unhappy. In fact, it is mainly because Cedric is more careful and usually observes her. More often, like Iris and the others, when they see her smile, they will simply think that she is happy, and they have not been friends for a long time. If Camelia doesn't take the initiative to mention it, no one will know that she is depressed.

Camelia's depression actually started before she entered school. The main reason is that her parents divorced, and the public opinion from the outside world made her subconsciously think that it was her own problems that caused her parents to separate. Ling is the reason for aggravating her condition, why the family didn't find out that she was mentally wrong for so long, the main reason is that wizards have no concept of mental illness, you can see that their hospitals don't have a psychiatrist or anything, even many Muggle parents are right now. I don't understand depression, and I think my children are simply rebellious, and Hogwarts is a boarding school, they don't go home all year round except for winter and summer vacations, Christmas and other holidays, plus Camelia herself is very sensible, and she will not take the initiative to mention those unpleasant things at school, so her family will not know.

As for why the heroine is bullied on campus, first of all, you have to think that this is a European and American country. Campus bullying in western schools is actually much more serious than in our country. Especially in their conception, what is the use of good academic performance, sports Good people are popular. Generally, the most influential people on their campus are the cheerleaders, team players, etc., and most of the influential people on our campus are concentrated in the first few grades.Just watching some British and American dramas, it is easy to find that there are generally students in western campuses who like to bully and exclude students who are good at learning. For example, the experiences of several protagonists in the American drama "The Big Bang Theory" basically grew up being bullied by those school bullies. Experience, there is an episode where Bernadette and Amy accidentally discovered that Penny’s role in school was the school bully who bullied them “nerds”, and there was another episode where the school bully who always bullied Leonard came over Asking him for help, I thought the school bully would change his past, but the next day after waking up, he bullied Leonard and Shelton who kindly stayed with him for the night.

In addition, being too beautiful is sometimes not a good thing. Some girls don't like to play with beautiful girls, because they are afraid of stealing their limelight. Think about those school belle girls in school, whether their word-of-mouth is a bit extreme, People who like her say she is nice, and people who don't like her say all kinds of bad things about her. In fact, you have been in contact with her and found that she is no different from ordinary girls around you.With the addition of beautiful and smart girls, there will be more malicious slanders around them, and this society is not as beautiful as we imagined.

The main disadvantage of the heroine is that she has some minor problems in her own personality. She is too cowardly. She dare not say a word when she is bullied. In the past, she blocked herself and refused to communicate with the outside world. Because of these changes in her personality, her situation has improved a lot this time, but re-experiencing the previous things cannot be exactly the same as before. Attention, new friends!The reason why she can make these friends has nothing to do with whether she knows Cedric or not. A little spoiler: she and Ced knew each other in the previous life, and they were relatively close friends, but she did not have these friends in the previous life.There are no cheats in this article, friends who like to read cool articles can quit at any time.
