[hp] warm as jade

The next morning, I saw Harry and Ron still sitting at the Gryffindor table. Although they were a little haggard, their appearance was a signal in itself—at least they would not come to school because of driving a flying car And was fired.The Slytherins were very dissatisfied with this, but the Gryffindor table was beaming.

Draco said contemptuously: "Dumbledore is not suitable for that position. He has not been expelled for this kind of behavior that may expose the entire wizarding world. I think he is old-fashioned. Wait and see ! My father will not let wizards with such depraved and partial behaviors continue to harm this school!"

Pansy giggled, and Daphne turned her head to her little sister and said, "Got it? Stay away from that Potter!"

Her little sister, Astoria of the Greengrass family, has a sweet dimple when she smiles, and she looks sweet and cute.At this time, she nodded obediently, indicating that she would listen to her sister.Daphne handed her a piece of pie, and at the same time glanced at Rong Jiu: "Listen, too, if you get too close to Potter and the others, something will happen sooner or later."

Astoria looked at the black-haired and black-eyed sister curiously. After all, her tone was really domineering.But the latter just smiled, as if he was very obedient.But Astoria could feel that she didn't take her sister's words to heart, so she tugged at her sister's robe: "That's—"

"The Nine I told you about." Daphne turned her head and said, "Although she is also a pureblood, she has never been in contact with the wizarding world before, so there are always some naive behaviors, such as approaching that Muggle-born Granger. ! Absurd!"

Just as they were talking, hundreds of owls flew in. .Rong Jiu lowered her head silently and continued to eat, after all, no one would send her anything.Just stuffed a large piece of bread into his mouth, Draco suddenly threw the drumstick excitedly: "Hey, look! What is that in Weasley's hand!"

Surprised by this, Rong Jiu swallowed a large piece of bread, choking so much that she rolled her eyes, found a glass of milk on the table with her hands, and poured it down hastily.But at this moment, Pan Xi beside her excitedly slapped Rong Jiu on the back and screamed: "Oh, look, a roaring letter!"

Rong Jiu choked directly, lying on the table coughing and crying, extremely miserable.But no one paid attention to her, a woman's scream came from above the Gryffindor table: "Ron Weasley! How dare you do such a thing!..."

"What is this?" Rong Jiu asked in disbelief.

"Shouting letter!" Pansy was delighted, gnawing on her least favorite bacon sandwich.With this meal, everything seems to make her full of appetite.

Rong Jiu nodded, then picked up a chicken leg, and followed Pan Xi to watch the play.

I have to say that women are really scary, and Mrs. Weasley's yelling is so powerful that you can clearly hear her yelling even in the far corner of the hall, and even the tableware on the table is shaking; Ron had already shrunk under the table, with only half of his red forehead exposed, she also admired the reactions of the people around her: almost all the students stopped talking, grabbed their food and looked at the Gryffindor table ;At the teacher's table, Professor McGonagall was dealing with the things on the plate seriously, as if he hadn't heard such a roaring letter; Snape looked up at the Gryffindor table from time to time, with a clear expression Disapproval and disapproval on Hagrid's face; there was also a new face, with a shining smile, looking helplessly and proudly at the Gryffindor table, this weird expression made Rong Jiu feel hairy all over.

"...We'll bring you back right away!" After this angry ending, the Howler letter curled and disappeared.Gradually, there were voices of voices in the hall, and everything returned to normal.When Rong Jiu turned back, he saw Draco's gloating face on the opposite side.

Pansy sighed: "It's so handsome, I've never seen such a terrible roar letter."

Blaise shrugged: "Well, women are really scary."

Draco laughed and said: "What does that matter, at least the mistress of the Malfoy family must be noble and elegant in the future. At least the children she teaches will not be so stupid!"

Rong Jiu pinched Pan Xi quietly, Pan Xi glared at Rong Jiu shyly, and then they laughed together.

"Speaking of which, who is that new teacher?" Rong Jiu asked curiously.

"That Lockhart? The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." Lila answered quickly, then giggled.Rong Jiu looked at Lila, who was in full bloom, in a daze: "Uh, is he famous? I think he looks familiar..."

"Of course it looks familiar." Draco mocked, "Look at our Defense Against Magic textbooks, there's that stupid, self-righteous smile on them!"

"No nonsense!" Lila scolded. "That's Gilderoy Lockhart. He has the most charming smile. He is a powerful wizard. It's great to be our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher!"

Daphne held her face together: "It seems that he will have a class tomorrow morning. I really hope that today will pass quickly, and then we can get close to Gerald Lockhart! I don't know what he will teach us?"

"I'll find out tomorrow!" Draco said impatiently, "Have you finished eating yet? The first class is about to start!"

Rong Jiu wanted to find time to find Hermione and ask about Harry and the others, but the first day of school didn't have any free time: transfiguration in the morning, history of magic in the afternoon, and she wanted to find a chance to sneak out in the evening, but Lila and the others dragged her over to study the preferences of that Professor Lockhart. After the research, she was almost going to bed. She couldn't go to Gryffindor any more, so she had to go back to bed and lie down depressed. with.

"Hey Nine, you've changed a lot this semester," Pansy mumbled just as she was falling asleep.

Rong Jiu made a vague questioning sound.

"You have become...more human." Pan Xi turned over, Rong Jiu opened her eyes, and met Pan Xi's shining eyes, "Or, more lively."

"Really?" Rong Jiu suddenly lost sleepiness.

Pan Xi was silent for a while: "Well, I can't tell you the specifics, but it feels more alive."

"I was very dry before?" Rong Jiu asked pretending to be angry, and Pan Xi giggled.

Then the two girls did not speak.

About half an hour later, there was the sound of even and deep breathing from Pan Xi, obviously falling into a deep sleep, but Rong Jiu still opened his eyes and stared wide.

"Casiopeia Black."

"Your chance is there."

These two sentences floated alternately in Rong Jiu's mind.

The door of life was opened in July last year, and the chance for me and my grandmother to survive is here...

Maybe this land can accept me?Maybe, I'm not just a passer-by?Because of the change in mentality, is there some change in yourself?

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Because of Pansy's words, Rong Jiu didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, so the next morning, she appeared in front of the Slytherin dining table with big dark circles and a haggard face, scaring everyone. Jump.

"Merlin! Jiu, what did you do last night?" Daphne exclaimed.

Rong Jiu yawned: "It's nothing... I'm just a little insomnia."

"You should ask Madam Pomfrey for a dose of Death Water." Lila said with some reproach, "Professor Lockhart has a class today, you can't go like this, in case he has a bad impression of Slytherin Not good. Let me think about what that spell is..."

Rong Jiu shivered: "Don't, Lila, I will sit in the last row, and I promise not to let him see my unlucky appearance - you, put down your wand first!"

Lila put away her wand regretfully, and then glared at Rong Jiu who was almost completely retracted behind Pan Xi: "You missed the opportunity to become beautiful!"

"It's enough for you to support Slytherin's appearance." Rong Jiu drank a big mouthful of pumpkin juice with lingering fear, "You will be able to show Slytherin's demeanor in front of Professor Lockhart later."

"We go to school with Ravenclaw?" Draco flipped through the timetable, and threw it back into the book regretfully, "If I could go with the Gryffindors, I would really like to see Weasley in class How to 'follow the rules'!"

The Slytherins laughed again.

"But, Draco, the Quidditch trials will start in a few days, are you ready?" Pansy asked.

"Oh, that." Draco said lazily, "It's canceled, I've already made Slytherin's Chaser by default."

"Eh?" Millicent turned sideways in surprise, "Why didn't I receive the notification?"

Draco sneered, "You can't bring the Slytherin team Nimbus 2001!"

"Whoa!" Pansy exclaimed, "the newest broom that just came out, and it wasn't even in stores before we started school, and you got it!"

Draco corrected with a smile: "It's not just me, it's the whole Slytherin team, one by one."

Millicent scowled unhappily, while everyone else chose to remain silent.

"Wait," Draco seemed not aware of the awkward atmosphere, and said complacently, "I'll make those Gryffindors suffer!"

Rong Jiu used all the time she lived to bet that there is no second classroom like this in the world.

There are big photo frames hanging around, and even a small photo is hung under the crystal lamp on the top. They all contain the same person, smiling brightly and winking coquettishly.Rong Jiu counted thirteen teeth, one not too many and one not too few, all of them were white and shiny.

Rong Jiu asked doubtfully, "Did he polish and wax his own teeth?"

Draco wanted to lie down on the table, but looked at the photo on the cover of the textbook that was also smiling, and leaned back in disgust: "Such a person graduated from Hogwarts... or the group next door of the academy."

The Slytherins looked at the dozen or so people across the aisle in unison, and the dozen or so people also lowered their heads in unison, as if they were reading books seriously, just like they always did, but this They couldn't hide their red ear tips.

But obviously not everyone agrees with Draco.Both Lila and Daphne looked ugly, and wanted to condemn Draco's behavior, but someone said before them: "Pay attention to your attitude, Draco Malfoy!"

It was Millicent Burst.

Draco propped his head lazily: "Why, the daughter of the Burst family seems to be particularly dissatisfied with me. I remember that she doesn't seem to have any interest in the little boy, so let me think about it, what is the reason?"

He straightened up, crossed his fingers on his lips, and looked distressed: "Oh, it must be because the school team didn't inform you that the interview was cancelled, right? I apologize to you on behalf of them. We are so rough in doing things. You forgot to tell our noble lady of the Bulstrode family that she cannot enter the academy team."

Draco gave a provocative smile and lifted his chin slightly, which was his usual proud look.

"You!" Millicent became annoyed, pulled out his wand with a swipe, and pointed at Draco.

Seeing that the dispute was about to escalate, the Slytherins still sat there calmly, while the Ravenclaws watched nervously.Just then, a sunny voice came from above the podium: "It's a pleasure to meet you—oh boys, put down your wands! This is not the time for practice..."

Millicent slowly withdrew his wand and sat back in his seat.Everyone also turned their heads and looked at their new teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart, standing on the podium.

"Okay, okay, let me introduce myself first, although I think everyone here will know me." He showed a self-conscious smile, but at this time he did not forget to show thirteen teeth, hanging on the edge of the podium Looking at him in the picture, he also showed a kind smile.

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart," he blinked coquettishly again, "Master of the Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award-but I never talk about it."

"Didn't that be brought up just now?" Draco sneered, but maybe because he was sitting in the last row, Lockhart didn't hear it, but Lila and the others turned their heads and warned: "Enough is enough." , Draco!"

"Oh, Ravenclaw children!" Lockhart seemed to know that there were Ravenclaw students sitting below today, "Very well, very well, I graduated from this lovely academy, when I At school, what a fond memory. Although the common room door questions were always too easy to test! Oh, I noticed you all bought my complete book, very good, Ravenclaw [-] point!"

Slytherin was in an uproar.

Rong Jiu looked surprised: "This is the first time I have met a professor who is more eccentric and shameless than Professor Snape!"

"Oh, of course, and the Slytherin children," Lockhart turned to look this way again, "your headmaster is a funny teacher, ha, yes! You all look like that, obviously It’s not good to know your dean very well!” He blinked, “But I won’t tell your dean, because you are a bunch of good boys—you also have a full set of my books on your desk.”

"Well, now we're going to do a set of tests for you for 10 minutes - don't be nervous kids, I just want to see how you read and how much you understand, after all I need to know your background to be better To communicate with you..." He picked up a stack of papers and began to distribute them one by one.

"This is his reward for us buying his complete set of books?" Pansy looked at the figure with the paper in disbelief, "He added five points to Ravenclaw!"

Draco pushed the book away: "Tch, that little boy!"

Lila said dissatisfiedly: "Professor Lockhart must have been dissatisfied with your quarrel before class, so you gave our college a small warning. Professor Lockhart is the most fair and good person!"

"Ah, well said, girl!" Unknowingly, Lockhart had already sent it to Slytherin, and just heard Lila's last words, "It seems that you have read all my books seriously , have a basic understanding of me, I hope you can have a good grade—what is your name?"

"Lila, Lila Randall!" Lila replied tremblingly.

"Very good, for your eagerness to study, Slytherin plus two points!" Lockhart showed her a bright smile, Lila blushed with excitement, took her own paper from Lockhart, and happily in my arms.

"Professor, I don't know if you can adjust the exam time." When it was sent to Draco, he seemed to suggest obediently, "You know, we all admire you, and we can receive the exam from you. I am really reluctant to hand in the paper, I hope you can fulfill our wish and let the paper that your hands touched stay in our hands for a while longer."

Even though many people in Slytherin were a little dissatisfied with Draco, they couldn't help but smiled softly at this moment.

"Oh, a good and understanding boy!" Lockhart exaggeratedly sighed, Rong Jiu couldn't help laughing out loud, and Draco gave him a hard look, "Okay, okay, Of course, I can't refuse your considerate request! The atmosphere in Slytherin is really getting better...then the time of this exam will be postponed to 10 minutes!"

Lockhart said, returning to the podium in high spirits.

Rong Jiu looked down at the paper.

Her Defense Against the Dark Arts is actually pretty good... isn't it?At least she got an O last semester, but why can't she do all the above questions?

Question [-]: What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?

Rong Jiu looked up at the podium in a daze. Is this the so-called thorough examination?

Then she turned to the back of the paper.

Question [-]: When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday?What's his ideal birthday present?

Rong Jiu thought for a while, and wrote down seriously: "The watch I bought last year."

Then I turned over the paper and filled in the things I liked seriously, wrote a few questions, and stopped writing again as if I remembered something.

"Hey, Panxi, let's go to the library after class." Rong Jiu patted Panxi lightly.The latter was seriously counting the feathers on the quill pen, when she suddenly felt someone pat her, and she was so surprised that she scratched her chin, leaving a mustache.

Rong Jiu cleaned it up for her, dumbfounded. After finishing the process, Pan Xi asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"I think this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts will probably become Lockhart's personal data class," Rong Jiu said softly, "I bet you a Nat, he will never teach you anything useful."

Pansy nodded, "Okay."

Rong Jiu smiled at Pan Xi, then continued to write.Pan Xi leaned over and took a look: "Wow, you really know so much?"

Rong Jiu quietly: "This is all my answer."

Pansy looked at the answer to the first question: silver, green, and black.They are indeed Rong Jiu's favorite colors.Then happily: "Good idea, why didn't I think of it?" Then he lay down on the paper and wrote "green, silver and light gold."

Draco stared dumbfounded at the two people around him who suddenly began to answer seriously, and wrote quickly, and for three seconds he even began to doubt his life, until he saw Pansy's answer, and suddenly said: "Good idea, I Why didn't I think of it!" Then they buried their heads in writing along with them.

An hour later, Lockhart collected the test papers and looked through them in front of the whole class.

"My favorite color is lilac, and it looks like the students are going to have to step up their reading of "A Year with the Snowman in Tibet"... I don't remember expressing my love for green and silver, but there are three A classmate mentioned it, but silver is indeed my favorite color, and I have to find the key points when reading..."

Draco had a constipated expression on his face: "This little boy actually likes silver?"

Pan Xi and Rong Jiu were lying on the table laughing.

"Some people say that my greatest achievement is being handsome. In fact, this is just my most basic advantage. This classmate must have never read the book, and he doesn't know much about me. He can only get the answer with his eyes... tsk tsk tsk , my ideal birthday present would be all magic and non-magic living in harmony, (Draco: "Ugh!") but I wouldn't say no to a big bottle of Ogden Old Fire Whiskey!  … etc Wait, what's the answer? A watch from last year?"

There was low laughter in the classroom.

Rong Jiu stared at Lockhart innocently.

Unexpectedly, Lockhart's face was bright: "This student must be serious about studying! I mentioned in "Break with the Female Ghost" that a watch I liked very much before was smashed during the fight. I can remember, and the time is indeed last year when the book was written! Although this is not a standard answer, it is a very thoughtful answer. Let me see whose answer it is...Miss Jiu Rong, where is it?"

Rong Jiu had a dull expression on his face, while Pan Xi had already collapsed on the desk laughing.

"Oh, yes, Miss Rong of Slytherin, a lovely and serious student, five points for Slytherin! Get out of class!"

Lockhart walked out of the classroom beaming, everyone had already stood up and started to pack their things, while Rong Jiu looked at Pan Xi blankly: "That sentence...in our place, it's a curse..."
