Wild child

The new school year has started again, and acquaintances expressed their surprise at Fanny's dark layers and thinner circle after the holiday. Fanny simply said that she went on a trip.It's kind of embarrassing to think of it as a witch who said "walked half the holiday".Fortunately, Hermione was soon attracted by other things, and stopped asking about the cause, process and result of Fanny's travel time, place and characters.

But after dinner, Fanny's little happiness disappeared.

"Slave labor!" Hermione pointed to the clean bedding.

"Slave labor!" Hermione pointed to the small heater on the bed.

"Slave labor!" Hermione pointed to the burning fire in the fireplace.

"What's wrong with you, Hermione?" Fanny waved her hand helplessly in front of Fanny's eyes, "We haven't even started school yet, and you're going to have trouble with everything here?"

"Not everything here! Don't you realize? Together we oppress over a hundred slaves! And we never know!"

"If you mean elves, I'm not only 'aware', but on good terms with them. If you mean 'slave labor', then sorry. Have you ever seen them at work? Happy and full of glory Feeling more like a master. If they really don’t want to, no one can force them, and the elves can be our teachers in the use of magic.” Fanny said and put the box on the ground and opened it.

Hermione was relentlessly nagging above her head: "They're just miseducated! They..."

"Stop." Fanny stuffed the newly unearthed pie into Hermione's mouth, "Can we take a break and then we can discuss the Quidditch Cup for the summer vacation and the upcoming Triwizard Tournament like normal people? "

"I don't... um..." Hermione swallowed her mouthful, "Is this...?"

"Ms. Conwell brought it to me. Don't worry, she has holidays and allowances. The salary is not stable but reasonable." Fanny looked at Hermione with a funny look and then gobbled it up. They're too angry at their existence to skip dinner, and they'll be very upset if they find out. I said, starving yourself to death won't help the elves at all, and this is the only pie I have left, or are you going to rely on it for the rest of the day? Parents mail food to live?"

"That's right..." Hermione puffed her cheeks and tried to put on an air of arrogance, "I should... take... more practical... actions."

"For example, calling on everyone to carry out a large-scale diet and weight loss campaign?"

"No." Hermione swallowed the last bit of pie and shook her hair. "I'm going to the library."

"Good idea." Fanny rolled her eyes at an angle that Hermione couldn't see, "So... what do you think the Triwizard Tournament will be like? I always think it's strange to hold it again suddenly, since the death toll in the past has exceeded Too many to stop."

"After all, it was more than a century ago, and now the various systems and systems of the wizarding world have been improved a lot. Moreover, after the mysterious people raged, the relative isolation between Britain and the wizarding society of the European continent has not been eradicated. This event can be regarded as a An opportunity to restore friendship." Hermione wiped her hair behind her ears pedantically, her face showing the unique concentration and seriousness of thinking, "Dumbledore should reduce the risk factor of the competition, and at the same time provide as much as possible for the participating schools. Students and teachers create opportunities for communication and exchange.”

"Well... I heard that Dumbledore was mainly responsible for coordinating and communicating among schools before this competition was finalized. Perhaps something happened recently that made Dumbledore feel the need to unite all walks of life has increased. Security measures It will definitely be strengthened several times. If there is another death of the warrior this time, the Triwizard Tournament will probably never be held again. And Dumbledore will not risk the safety of the students under non-essential circumstances."

Fanny inferred that Dumbledore was coordinating work among various schools. Mr. Field was quite well-informed. During the chat, it was mentioned that there would be major events to be held soon, and Dumbledore played an important role in the busyness of various countries.At that time, she was distracted and listened a few times, and when she got in touch with the new news, she made a good guess.

As she said that, Fanny noticed that the three people in the same house turned their heads and listened.Then she remembered a great event about Smith's happiness.

"Speaking of which, the warrior candidates from each school will live in Hogwarts by then. Those who can become warrior candidates should be pretty good."

"Yeah, maybe I will meet a handsome French boy." Parvati immediately showed yearning expression, "I heard that French people are very romantic, and every adult man is a good kisser."

Sisters Parvati and Padma Patil were the prettiest girls in their class and were very popular.Parvati has a straightforward personality and is quite open-minded. Since the second grade, she has kicked out two or three official boyfriends every year, and her dating partners are constantly changing.If you want to talk to her within a few rounds, you will inevitably get into the topic of men and women, and the scale will expand with age. Fanny always suspects that this girl is full of love potions in her mind.

"Girls like you are in high demand among boys in any country. When you see it, don't forget to share it with us."

As soon as Fanny finished speaking, Lavender and Parvati laughed together.Hermione glanced at Fanny with a look of disdain.With the familiarity of the two of them, she could see that this guy wanted to get news again.

"What kind of boyfriend do you want? I mean they might talk about marriage." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Fanny brought the conversation to the point.

"Handsome, sexy, and romantic, with a deep and magnetic voice, plus points." Parvati didn't think about it.

"If he wants to marry, he'd better be a reliable person. I don't want my house to smell like a fox all day long." Lavender added.

"That's not enough charm, and what's the point of a man who is not passionate!" Parvati dismissed it.

Before the topic changed to "Is passion a quality a good man should have", Fanny quickly turned to the protagonist: "What about you, Amy? What kind of boy do you like?"

"Me?" Amelia was taken aback for a moment, she seldom participated in other people's topics, "I'm not sure about this...I haven't had a boyfriend before."

"There must be a tendency. What kind of boy do you think you would like to be with?"

"It should be... quieter, honest, and give me a sense of reliability. You can have some tacit understanding with me, and you don't need to talk too much, and you will be very comfortable together." Amelia said.

Quiet and reliable, Xiao Shi can barely meet these two points, honesty is absolutely fine, and he can't lie to others.Fanny secretly rejoiced, tacit understanding, which is completely subjective, can only depend on good luck.

"What about you? Which one do you prefer, George or Fred? I think they're both alike. You three can..."

"Please, they and I are just friends. If you want to tell them apart, listen to them. Fred is the one who makes the ideas, and George is the one who makes the plans." Fanny quickly stopped Parvati, "If you want to have a boyfriend , as long as it feels right. As long as it’s not the kind of arrogant, show-off, blood-speaking rich man, it’s fine.”

"You don't like rich men?" Lavender asked strangely.

"It doesn't matter if you have money or not. It's just that rich people have some bad habits. They look at people in their nostrils all day long, as if the more things they can afford, the better they are. I've had enough of this before entering Hogwarts." I'm dead." Fanny got a little annoyed when she said that.

"Wow, then you must really hate Malfoy," Parvati sighed.

Fanny was taken aback.

"Isn't he the kind of guy you're talking about? If you ask me, he's good-looking, arrogance can be cute at times, and he's rich. If he wasn't a Slytherin, I'd think about it."

"I'd like him better if he stayed away from me," Fanny said dryly, and Hermione gave her a raised eyebrow.

Yo, I almost forgot. "Do you prefer rich boys? Muggle boys?"

"As long as there is a call, these are not problems." Parvati waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter if I have money or not. My parents are wizards. If I have a Muggle boyfriend, they will definitely not be happy." Lavender said.

"Amy?" Fanny stopped Amelia who was about to pull up the curtain.

Amelia was obviously a bit puzzled by Fanny's active efforts to bring her into the topic tonight, so she thought for a while and replied, "I may continue to live an ordinary Muggle life after graduation. My parents are both Muggles, and they don't They are very supportive of me finding a wizard. It doesn’t matter whether you are rich or not, but if your family background is similar, there should be more common topics.”

This is the standard answer.Fanny looked around and found that no one expressed surprise that Amelia was actually Muggle-born. It seems that her lack of common sense understanding of the people around her has not been fundamentally reversed.

It is said that out of five people, there are two Muggle-borns in the broad sense and one in the strict sense. The probability of Gryffindor is not low.

Seeing Hermione's obnoxious and clear face, Fanny felt that she could no longer leave Hermione alone.

"What about you, Hermione? Harry or Ron, which do you want?"

Lavender and Parvati's eyes lit up, Hermione's expression froze, she turned her head in disdain, and disappeared behind the curtain.

Oops, there seems to be a play.Fanny raised her eyebrows, which one could it be?

In the following period of time, the relationship between Fanny and Amelia quickly drew closer, or to be precise, it was artificially brought closer by Fanny.Amelia, who seems silent and withdrawn, is actually a very easy-going type. She is tolerant and not good at rejecting others. After a few days of eating together after class, the two have progressed to the stage of sharing life experiences.

The origin of Fanny Orphanage aroused Amelia's great sympathy. When she narrated, she focused on portraying the image of Smith's "good brother", and tried to avoid Amelia's misunderstanding of her and Smith.It can be seen that Amelia quickly became interested in this boy who had never met—or never noticed when he met—and it was estimated that the two could start correspondence after Halloween. She remembered that the Christmas ball was a triwizard competition The traditional event of the competition, it seems that the meeting arrangement has to be postponed, if it doesn't feel like this, then Merlin really can't help.

While Smith's love affairs are going well, other aspects of Fanny's campus life are not.Due to the soaring homework load due to the "approaching general wizard level examination", there is a fierce conflict with Fanny's colorful extracurricular life. She sadly finds that she is likely to live a life of long-term black circles.

When it comes to studies, it is necessary to mention the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers who change every year.Over the decades, this position has become notorious, and those who dare to do it are either desperate, fools or brave.In order not to abolish this necessary course, Dumbledore had to use human relations to bring in his retired old partner.

When seeing the most outstanding Auror in history, Fanny questioned the aesthetic level of the therapists in her heart.Is there no such thing as plastic surgery in the wizarding world?If the legs are gone and a claw is installed, it’s fine as long as the prosthetic limbs are easy to use; the prosthetic eyes are several times bigger than the real ones and can be turned around. At least they deserve the famous name of “Mad-Eye Moody” .But what about the nose and teeth?Although the bridge of the nose is high and the bridge of the nose is flat, it is not a problem to have two holes on the face without the bridge of the nose.How about rhinoplasty and dental implants in the Muggle world?

But the most powerful striker of the dark wizard is really not Gai. In the first class, he used the legendary Unforgivable Curse to give the whole class a blow.Moody's every move has a battle-tested composure and explosiveness, and at the same time shows the nervousness caused by too many life and death scenes. The familiarity brought by it makes Fanny feel very friendly.Fanny wanted to give him flowers when she heard that he had turned Malfoy into a little ferret "****".

Apart from the fact that the homework was too difficult, Moody liked Fanny very much.The last thing she needed right now were more problems that required spending hours in the library to solve.

Thankfully - and Fanny guessed she was glad about it - the nightly bout with Malfoy seemed to have ended for good, which really freed her up a lot of time.You must know that the competition is not done every two weeks, the spells to be used need to spend a lot of time practicing.By the end of last year, the two had not only competed with spells commonly used in battle, but also displayed some spells with relatively high technical content. multiplied.

After that quarrel, it's not that Fanny didn't think about it. In fact, the scene of the moonlight night in her spare time often appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but think about it.Asking herself, there was no reason for her to feel so disgusted with Malfoy.Fanny is not disgusted with the so-called "Slytherin way". She has lived in a place like an orphanage for 7 years. "Sense" remains, and I have no opinion on the way of thinking that "results are more important than process".

As for temper, since she was a child, Fanny has dealt with narrow-minded and stingy Mrs. Evan, arrogant and rude like the young Olozko, surly and fierce like Benjamin, and has seen people from all walks of life. He has practiced the kung fu of not caring about all grudges and the standard of knowing people that values ​​people but not identities.No matter how you say it, Malfoy has a good upbringing, and his actions are far from the low-level level. He doesn't even have much resentment for being trampled on his jaw by wearing spikes. According to common sense, Fanny really doesn't need to worry about such small conflicts.

Fanny reluctantly admits that Malfoy is actually a pretty good boy, compared against everyone she knows.His appearance is not bad, he has received systematic magic education since he was a child, and Hermione can be picky about his studies, and his manners and conversations - when interacting with other people - are elegant and decent, a Quidditch star on par with Harry, plus a prominent With such a family background, the average girl is really not good enough.

But if Fanny evaluates objectively, what she appreciates the most is Malfoy's attitude of striving for perfection in what he does.He took the protection of magical creatures, and even though he hated Hagrid no matter how much he hated Hagrid, he still got a final grade that was close to full marks. Fanny, who had been flying at low altitudes for several courses for a long time, attributed this to the influence of the Buckbeak incident on Hagrid. Unintentionally preparing, I came up with the easiest exam questions ever.

Ever since Malfoy had joined the Quidditch team in his second year, Fanny had often seen him practice late on the pitch by himself while hanging out.

The only time when Fanny liked Malfoy was in Potions class, when all the arrogance was put away, and the thin face in the steam was so focused that it was almost stubborn.

Thinking about Fanny's mood will become weird. As long as she doesn't interfere with her, other people's compliments and criticisms will always come in one ear and out the other, and at most she will extract some valid information.But she would get irritated by Malfoy's comments, even if she felt childish, it would be difficult to restrain the urge to get angry.

When traveling, her body is non-stop, and her mind is free and free. Fanny spent a lot of time sorting out her thoughts, and then determined that she only wanted Fanny to be elegant, generous, and beautiful in Malfoy's eyes. She wanted to be perfect in his eyes. girl.

But Fanny knew that this was definitely not a good sign.

One is lazy, the other is rigorous and diligent, the one is determined to be a wanderer, the other is destined to inherit the family business, Gryffindor whose parents are not wizards and born at the bottom of the society, and Slytherin, whose pure blood concept is deeply rooted in the history of aristocrats for centuries, are there more than this? Bad option?

So, of course, she should be happy to keep Malfoy at arm's length.

"Fanny, Fanny!"

Mind wandering in class is one of the main beginnings of the tragedy. Before she could realize the reason why Amelia stabbed her anxiously, Fanny found herself covered by a long and thin shadow.

"Miss Sanchez." Professor McGonagall, with a stern expression and an eagle-like face, looked down at Fanny majestically, "I know you have your own methods, but I believe that before you successfully turn it into a pearl pig, this pearl The chickens would flatulence and die."

Only then did Fanny realize that when she was distracted, she had been poking the guinea fowl in front of her with the tip of her stick, so that it became a balloon with feathers and a neck.

"What did you do last night? Did you do the assigned exercises?"

No, I was chatting with a friendly centaur in the Forbidden Forest, not to mention that I was afraid that you would pick my skin off.Fanny quickly poked the balloon in front of her again, thank God it didn't explode, but deflated with a sound of "咻——" coming from nowhere.

Mag seemed quite satisfied with Fannie's deflation, and turned away without any further criticism.Instead, Hermione ran to ask for a bigger guinea fowl and muttered to Fanny in dissatisfaction: "What the hell are you thinking?"

"Roasted guinea fowl tastes better than pigs, it's too wasteful to do so." Fanny said sullenly.

So Hermione's guinea fowl was also flatulent.

The Triwizard Tournament is the main theme of this year. On the eve of Halloween, teachers and students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons floated up from the lake and flew down from the sky. Their arrival brought a lot of excitement to Hogwarts. The change.

The castle was given a general cleaning, it was almost like a war.Filch, who was in charge of cleaning the portraits with a brush, was sprayed out by the toilet in the women's bathroom for no reason, and Fanny could guess whose handwriting it was.She also rescued an elf named Dobby from an armor. This unlucky little guy was not familiar with the environment when he first arrived, and he abided by the rules of not being noticed by others. He was bored inside for a whole morning. .

After the arrival of teachers and students from the two schools, everyone found that the dishes were greatly enriched. Presumably, the elves tried their best to find strange dishes from all over the world. Even Fanny was surprised.Of course, she and the twins were far less surprised than other students. The advantage of being able to freely enter and leave the kitchen is that not only can there be something to eat at any time, but also can order food at will.The elves regard it as their responsibility and honor to meet all the requirements of teachers and students. For a while, Fanny liked to randomly order things like "Mongolian smoked fish", "Cuban stella", "Dutch Brighton", next time she will When you come, the elves will apologetically serve the dish "closest to your request" that has been painstakingly prepared.It has been a long time since she has done this, one is that it is not pleasant to tease those too simple creatures, and the other is that most of the dishes she invented taste as strange as their names.

However, perhaps because of the impression left by the elves of "loving novel tastes", Fanny can often eat panna cotta, French fish soup and other dishes that are not often served on the table when she goes down to the kitchen. Eyes widened a lot.

The people of the two schools are also enough to attract attention.

Durmstrang's reserve warrior team includes Quidditch star Viktor Krum, which makes the whole school crazy. Ron is also among the admirers. It is said that he still has Krum on his bedside. small model.Hermione unabashedly expressed contempt for this, while Fanny and Amelia were almost completely undisturbed by the trend. The three of them now joined a team, which seemed very different among the crowd of girls.

Beauxbaton's headmaster and horse alone are conspicuous enough, and this is the first time Fanny has seen such a huge woman.But generally speaking, Madame Maxim is very beautiful, like an enlarged version of a lady.Fanny and Hermione agreed that she, like Hagrid, was likely to be a half-blood giant, and the discussion ended when Fanny said "I don't know what humans and giants will do...".Those horses seemed to be specially prepared for Madame Maxime’s car. Fanny wanted to try riding it, but found that she couldn’t reach the saddle even with tiptoes, and almost fell into the manger filled with single malt whiskey.

In addition, the most outstanding Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour.Although Fanny is slovenly, she is very picky about people's appearance. As soon as Furong appeared, Fanny secretly gave her a perfect score in her heart.Ron, on the other hand, was fascinated directly, his eyes stared blankly and he couldn't even speak. The last time Fanny saw him like this was when he was facing a large group of giant spiders.

Hermione was gnashing her teeth at the side, wishing she could poke it with a fork, and Fanny, who was watching from the sidelines, saw something.

Maybe this year could have passed like a normal year. The Goblet of Fire sprayed out the names of the three school warriors, and then everyone discussed the project content after studying, cheering for the school warriors. Parvati dated her romantic boyfriend, Girls in the Krum Starchaser Club chased after him for an autograph.No matter which school wins, everyone is happy, and the purpose of strengthening the learning and communication of magic schools in various countries has been realized.

It should have been so.

On the night of Halloween, the fourth note with the name on it spewed out from the blue and white flames. Seeing Dumbledore's almost astonished expression, Fanny suddenly had an intuition that the rain was about to come.

"Harry Potter!"

The audience was in an uproar, and the turning point of the fate of the British wizarding world, Fanny, Harry and many others officially kicked off.
