The next day, Cedric, who had been tossing and turning all night, came to the appointed place according to the appointment, but Mel hadn't arrived yet!

After waiting for more than half an hour, there was still no sign of Mel. The worried Cedric looked at his watch and laughed dumbfoundedly. It turned out that it was only 7:[-].

At 7:45, Mel came over from the path beyond the greenhouse with a croissant in his mouth and a wand in his hand.

Seeing Mel, Cedric put his heart in his stomach.

"Hi! Seid!" Mel greeted him happily, "It's so early!"

"Nothing!" Cedric's ears were a little hot: "I just arrived too!"

"Have you eaten yet?" Mel asked Cedric, shaking the bread.

"I've eaten!" Cedric replied hurriedly, his ears turned red even more!

Mel smiled and nodded with Mimi: "Okay! Come with me!" Then he stuffed the croissant into his mouth and led the way into the Forbidden Forest.

"Mel, the school rules prohibit entering the Forbidden Forest!" Watching Mel go deeper and deeper, Cedric, the prefect, couldn't help reminding her!

"It's okay! It's okay!" Mel replied with a smile, in a good mood, "This road is very safe, absolutely no problem!"

Mel led Cedric through the dense and tall forest, and came to a small circular clearing. The bright morning sun passed over the treetops, and the trees in the west were golden.

The slightly yellowed weeds on the open space are gently shaking the starry dewdrops on their bodies!

Cedric never imagined that there is such a beautiful and fascinating scenery in the dreaded Forbidden Forest!

"Sed!" Mel, who stopped, stood in the middle of the grass, with her hands behind her back, and her body twisted slightly involuntarily. The sun lightly sprinkled on her upper body, making her hazy and soft.

At this moment, Mel looked like an angel with wings spread out!

"Yeah!" Cedric replied softly, as if speaking louder, it would startle the angel away!

Mel bit her lip, blushed, looked at the ground, and lowered her head: "Can you promise not to say what I'm going to say?"

"Of course!" Cedric replied affirmatively and gently, looking aside unnaturally.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Mel breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head and looked at Cedric, "Can you forgive me if I ask too much?"

Although, thinking this sentence was a bit weird, Cedric, who turned his head to look at Mel, still gave an affirmative answer, "Of course!"

After getting an affirmative answer again, Mel relaxed half a point, "Can you swear?"

Cedric didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing Mel's clear eyes, he nodded again: "I swear, I won't tell anyone what happened today, and forgive Mel's request!"

"Great!" Mel breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as brightly as the sun today.

The pure smile made Cedric feel light, but Mel's next words made him fall to the ground.

"Cedric Diggory, I, Maybelle Dalton, will challenge you today, do you accept?"

"What?" Cedric looked at Mel in disbelief.

"I'm challenging you!" Feeling that Cedric hadn't heard clearly, Mel repeated it kindly.

"Why?" Cedric had an unbelievable smile on his face, suppressing the weird disappointment in his heart.

"Because——" Mel stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "Because I want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, and I have done special training for it. Now that the training is complete, I want to check the results. Among the people I know, You are the best, so I invite you to compare with me." Who made you the most powerful warrior in Hogwarts recognized by the Goblet of Fire!Of course, Mel didn't say this sentence, but suppressed it so that it wouldn't go back into his stomach.

"Of course, yes!" Cedric smiled unnaturally, but he still agreed to Mel's request, but he couldn't help it, and asked, "Mel, can you use your magic flexibly?"

"Of course." Mel replied with a smile, "You don't have to worry about this, let's get started!"

An hour later, two figures stepped out from the edge of the Forbidden Forest, one behind the other.

The boy in the front is neatly dressed, tall and handsome, but his face is a little gray, and the girl behind is slender and tall, with hair tied into a ponytail and slightly messy. Although she tried her best to control the smug expression on her face, it was obvious that she failed!

Walking out of the Forbidden Forest, Cedric stopped in front and looked at Mel who was trying to pretend to be calm. He smiled mixedly: "Mel, you are indeed very good. I am convinced that I lost. Being defeated only means that I I'm not strong enough, I just have to work harder, if you think I can't even accept my own failure, then you underestimate me!"

"Really?" Mel stuck out her tongue, and stroked her hair in embarrassment with a smile: "I'm relieved! Do you know? It's too fatal to keep a straight face when you want to laugh!"

Seeing Mel's innocent and proud expression like a puppy, Cedric smiled. He rubbed the top of Mel's head, "However, Mel, losing to you really hurt my self-esteem! You Tell me how you want to compensate me!"

Hearing this, Mel thought about it for a long time with trepidation, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Tomorrow is the day to go to Hogsmeade, I invite you to dinner!"

Cedric was very satisfied with this answer: "Okay, that's it, how about I book the location?"

"No problem!" Mel nodded, afraid of being rejected.

Walking through the greenhouse, Cedric suddenly remembered something, "Mel, what will you do if I don't agree to your duel? Looking for someone else?"

"Huh? That—" Mel hesitated to answer.

"What?" Cedric chased after him.

"Oh!" Mel answered him embarrassedly, "That's why I dragged you to the Forbidden Forest! People who have never been to that place will definitely get lost. If you don't agree, you won't be able to escape! Haha——"

Mel in this room laughed proudly at his plan.

But Cedric heard the voice of his expression cracking.

He was wrong!This morning, the one he saw in the Forbidden Forest was definitely not an angel, but a little devil with the light wings of the pretender!

Ever since the twins started making aging potions, they have become mysterious. When they went to Hogsmeade today, Mel went to find them. They even let Mel play while they said they had important things to do!This frightened Melti to death, and he planned to invite Cedric to bring them to dinner, but the angry Melti didn't mention this, and kicked his legs away!

"I'm going to eat a big meal, you can drink your pumpkin juice!"

Meeting Cedric, they went to Hogsmeade Village together. Along the way, there were constant surprise eyes, and Merle snickered. She asked Cedric quietly: "Do you regret leaving with me now?"

Cedric looked at Mel with a look of indifference in his eyes: "You are my friend, not their friend, their attitude has nothing to do with me, right?"

"Ha!" Merle laughed happily, and patted Said on the shoulder, "It's my honor to have you as my friend!"

Seeing Mel patted himself on the shoulder like a buddy, an imperceptible wry smile flashed across the corner of Cedric's mouth.The road is long and long!

While walking and chatting, the young wizards beat Hogsmeade very quickly, but it was still very early for dinner. Mel tilted his head thinking, and took Cedric to the Quidditch Auxiliary Store. Here they have a common interest.

When Mel and Cedric left the store with a lot of things, the store owner waved goodbye to them happily from ear to ear!

Afterwards they went to the Chestnut Restaurant, which is a restaurant specializing in British home cooking, and the food is relatively light, which is Mel's favorite restaurant.

After a meal, Mel was satisfied. She never thought that Cedric was such a humorous, cheerful, charming and good student.

Mel felt that her decision to replace him as a contestant was absolutely correct, Cedric was still so young, he should enjoy his great life.

However, at the time of checkout, there was an argument between the two. Cedric wanted to pay the bill, saying that it was not a gentleman's behavior to ask a lady to pay the bill, which angered Mel. She had never done such a fattening thing !

Seeing Mel's flaming eyes, Cedric made a concession wisely. Mel's bad temper was terrifying, and the twins had already announced it for her!

After paying the bill, Mel dragged Cedric out of the restaurant contentedly.

Then continue to discuss the topic they had just now, "Sed, I don't think the essence of the silent spell is to recite the spell silently, but to think!"

"Intention?" Cedric frowned and pondered, "But, that's what the teachers taught! And it's not difficult to recite silent spells!"

"Yes!" Mel admitted one point generously, and then he looked at Seid with a smirk, "But my thinking is faster than your silent reading!"

Thinking of his fiasco, Mel was faster than her despite using the same spell, which made Cedric very frustrated.And he didn't know that Mel had deliberately lowered the power of the spell so that Cedric would not be injured.

Cedric looked at Mel with a wry smile, speechless.

"Actually, the intention is just the subconscious casting of the spell after mastering the silent spell." Mel comforted Cedric, "So the teachers taught silent recitation at the beginning, which is relatively simple, but it will be difficult to cast a spell through the intention at the beginning. But it's quick to learn!"

"Subconscious? What does that mean?" Cedric struggled to understand this unfamiliar vocabulary.

Mel was surprised that Cedric didn't know the meaning of this word, and then she remembered that this psychological vocabulary is very common to ordinary Muggles, but it will not be so easy to understand for wizards with poor information up.

Therefore, Mel explained in detail, this academic term in Muggle psychology, and added her understanding of spellcasting.

Cedric was fascinated!

Mel was beaming with joy while Cedric listened intently!

The consequence is——

They crashed into a crowd.

"oops!"

Hearing the girl's scream, Mel thought in a daze, I didn't hit anyone!

Seeing Cedric's expression again, Mel suddenly realized that it was Cedric who hit someone!

Then Mel saw a pair of big black eyes full of tears!

Cho Chang!
