Wild child

The wheels turned desperately in the mud, and finally the spider hit the ground when the front legs were less than three inches away from the car window, and then the car blew a flute, shooting like an arrow into the forest shadows.

After a short ride Fanny was sure it was indeed a car, and now she was hurtling through the woods.Fortunately, she didn't need to do anything, the car followed a route it was obviously familiar with, and turned left and right cleverly, looking for the widest gap.

Fanny held on tightly to the place where she could hold her hand, her feet pressed against the front and suffered a lot, but she was thrown upside down on the driver's seat several times or hit her head on the window. The tree trunk thicker than her was impressive Backed away at a dizzying speed, along with two scraped rearview mirrors.Speeding a car at a speed faster than a motorcycle in the gap among the trees is narrower than the alleys in the town and the ground is still rough. It is tantamount to committing suicide. Fanny, who is as fat as Fanny, is also frightened and afraid to breathe.

After about ten minutes, the trees gradually thinned out, and the ground gradually became flat. It was estimated that the outer edge of the Forbidden Forest was almost reached.Her head stopped bumping into the sunken part of the car roof from time to time, and her hands that were numb from clenching tightly could finally relax. Fanny took a breath and asked tentatively, "Mr. Car?"

The car ignored her.

"I don't know how you got here, uh, I mean... thank you for saving me anyway, is there anything I can do to help? Like... help you find two new mirrors superior?"

The car whistled twice shortly, and the front of the car swung, and Fanny, who was not very prepared, kissed the window glass again.

"Ouch!...don't like it? Then help you clean up... the hygiene in your body?"

After some arduous negotiations, it turned out that Fanny planned to try to restore the paint peeling off the car body and re-flatten the roof. When these two items were mentioned, the car stepped on its accelerator and honked. Ni guessed for a while between "very good" and "try to die", and decided to interpret it as the former.

The car stopped not far from where they entered the Forbidden Forest, the door opened and the seat flipped over, and Fanny was simply thrown into the pumpkin patch.

"So, how about I come to see you around here tomorrow night?" Fanny asked, spitting the dirt out of her mouth.

The car whistled, and the accelerator turned and rushed back to the Forbidden Forest.

"...I'll take it as your agreement." Fanny muttered.

Fang hadn't returned to Hagrid's cabin yet and the boys and the dogs were still in the forest, and Fanny sat by the fence and waited, thinking it would be funny if they stayed where they were and got eaten by spiders.

This night was so exciting that Fanny lost consciousness after a while after she quieted down, and she was awakened by a burst of heavy breathing after an unknown period of time.When she opened her eyes, she saw Fang whimpering and rushing into Hagrid's cabin, like a child who has been wronged and complained to his parents.

"Hi? If it's not a ghost who is panting, please show up?" Fanny yawned.

Harry appeared out of nowhere on the path, and he put Ron on the stick with his hands on his back and his feet close to the seams of his trousers, and then sat down on his buttocks.In order not to be discovered by any strange things, he didn't even dare to light up his wand, and he groped so far in the forest with a classmate who was carrying a "one" on his back that weighed as much as himself and was taller than himself.

But looking at Fanny's appearance, which was full of cuts, mud, branches and leaves, and injuries, which was much more distressed than him and Ron combined, Harry felt that there was nothing to complain about.

"Ghosts can't breathe," Harry muttered exhaustedly. "Can you put Ron...?"

"Okay, okay." Fanny walked over, "What is the solution to the curse - petrification release!"

Ron still kept the terrified expression of being petrified on his face, and sat up straight after the spell was lifted.After two seconds, his expression relaxed, and then he jumped up and threw himself into the pumpkin patch and began to vomit loudly.

"I'll never, ever forgive Hagrid." Ron retched weakly until there was nothing left to vomit, "Look what happened, follow the spider, huh..."

"Yeah, you should really complain for a while." Fanny frowned and wiped her forehead, "I didn't think about how to get in, or how to get out, and I didn't even think about what would happen when I faced a spider. , just ran into the Forbidden Forest, and was almost eaten by a giant spider that eats human flesh. Compared to the fact that I was ruined by two boys who didn't know what to do, I ruined a piece of clothing and half my life is really nothing .”

Ron's neck was about to retort, but he opened his mouth, glanced at Fanny, and closed it again.A long wound on Fanny's forehead stretched from the upper left to the lower right looked very hideous under the dim light, and the blood stains that flowed down were accumulated above her eyebrows. , Just like this, if you say that a group of giant monsters broke into the castle, everyone will believe it.

"Hagrid probably thought spiders wouldn't hurt his friends." Harry smoothed things over.

"Here's Hagrid's problem!" Ron found the steps and a venting point, and thumped the pumpkin next to him. "He always thinks that monsters aren't as bad as people make them out to be! See what happens to him, locked up in Az." Caban's cell!" He began to tremble uncontrollably. "What's the point of sending us there? I wonder, what have we got?"

"At least I know that your big friend is innocent." Fanny closed the big gap on her shoulders. Fortunately, she was always used to wearing a set of Muggle clothes under her robes, otherwise she would have to go naked.

She was concentrating on studying the fabric that was as soft as water and as light as air, secretly lamenting that this is really an excellent companion for murder and robbery.

Ron snorted loudly, obviously thinking that Hagrid had made a mistake in hatching Aragog in the first place.

"There was also a girl who died in the bathroom when the chamber of secrets was opened 50 years ago, and the spiders were terribly afraid of that monster... etc." The monster that spiders are extremely afraid of, this attribute seems a bit familiar.

"I reckon we'd better hurry back to the castle, it'll be daylight any longer." Harry wasn't too happy about Fanny messing with his father's treasures.

Fanny was right after thinking about it, so she put her thoughts aside.It takes a lot of work to tidy up her current ghostly appearance so that it can be seen by others.

The castle was getting closer and closer, and the three people squeezed in the invisibility cloak all walked lightly.

"Do you still want to give Mary Minnie a ride?" Fanny asked softly.

The two boys were frightened by the second half of the story, and seemed rather hesitant.

"However, I guess they are not very willing to take you with them again. You must be mentally prepared. Although you can't really do anything to the students, it is still possible to throw them out of Filch or McGonagall's bedroom." Fanny Added a sentence.

The two boys shook their heads immediately.

"Then you still take us in." Ron said fearfully.

"It's okay once, but it will annoy them all the time. They don't like children very much."

"Aren't you either..."

"To be precise, they don't like noisy boys. They will be irritable when there is a little noise. In fact...they are lonely if they haven't been married in their whole life. As for me, I still have a bit of an advantage in wanting to be liked." Fanny didn't blush. .

"No wonder you're so popular," muttered Ron.

"Do you think there are many people worthy of my liking? If I want someone to like me, I can't do it."

Harry and Ron were overwhelmed with speechlessness at such an outspoken outburst.

Parting from Harry and Ron on the second floor, Fanny took the stairs that Filch and Peeves usually wouldn't come to at this point.As she passed the familiar suit of armor, she couldn't help but think of the scene that night when the two children dragged each other behind, following Filch's wheezing and wheezing.

By the way, even if I survived tonight like this, tomorrow is hard to say.Think about it, a Gryffindor who beat up Snape's favorite student. You must know that even a violent action is usually dealt with by him with a deduction of twenty points and one confinement.

"Aged gooseberry wine."

After receiving the correct password, the door next to the statue of Stupid Boris creaked open.Fanny stepped in and barred the door.

This is the second time for Fanny to come here, and she thought that no matter how many times she came, she would always say that being a prefect is really good.

A sumptuous candle-lit chandelier cast a warm soft light on the room, and everything was made of snow-white marble, including the central bath, which was sunken into the ground, like a rectangular swimming pool.There were about a hundred golden faucets on the side of the bath, each with a gem of a different color set in the handle.There were snow-white linen curtains on the windows, and a large pile of fluffy towels hung in one corner.

"I'm sorry, Miss Fanny!" said a shrill voice in the corner, terrified.

The owner of the voice has long, big ears, huge brown eyes, and a big tomato-like nose.

"Don't be like this, Yatta, continue with your work." Fanny hurriedly stopped the elf who was about to leave in a hurry, showing an apologetic smile, "I disturbed you. Besides, if it wasn't for your help, I There is no way to come here. Is work going well recently?"

House-elves have a natural instinct to serve humans, and to Hogwarts elves, all teachers and students are masters who must strive to be satisfied.They will never make people feel their presence except in places where the garbage is swept away and the fire is lit, but in fact they are most eager for human approval.After receiving Fanny's polite greeting, tears welled up in Yata's eyes, and she stammered and nodded repeatedly.

Plus, they're all pretty naive guys.When Fanny sneaked into the kitchen to have a "meal", she found out that Yata was in charge of cleaning the prefect's bathroom, and three days later she asked Yata to reveal the password to enter the bathroom.Going down to the sixth floor in the middle of the night just to take a shower is a bit of a hassle. Fanny didn’t bother to come again after she came here once. Today is a special occasion, and using the bathroom in the dormitory will definitely wake up others.

After flicking seven or eight faucets to fill the pool, Fanny stood on a springboard by the pool and jumped into the water, happily doing a few back and forth in the standard... dog-planing style.

Of course, there is no place to learn breaststroke and freestyle in a place like an orphanage. Fanny practiced swimming in the river by the town.In the past, every summer she would strip naked and jump into the river to fight water fights with other children in the town. There were several eddies in the river, and the bottom of the river was not flat. Before she drowned, Fanny learned how to do it without a teacher sinking.The posture is a bit awkward, but the swim is quite fast.

Although Fanny didn't mind, staying in front of people was obviously against the professional ethics of Hogwarts elves. Yatta quickly washed and repaired Fanny's robe and sportswear that were about to become rags, and then snapped One sound disappeared.

After all, she was exhausted enough. After swimming for a while, Fanny took some bath liquid and hastily cleaned her hair, lying on the edge of the pool in a daze.

If I want someone to like me, there is nothing I can't do.Fanny smiled self-deprecatingly.Ron was right, she wouldn't be so unpopular if she really knew how to make herself liked.It's not that she hasn't tried her best to improve her popularity, it's just that she has never learned how to get along with others. Hurtful words always blurt out before her mind can react. She never gets in the way of all kinds of gossip.

The scope of application of this sentence probably lies in those "useful" existences that she doesn't need to "get along with" with, such as Mary Minnie, who can let her understand most of the castle's secret passage mechanisms, and allow her to enter the prefect's bathroom Yatta, and Peeves who distracted Filch from time to time and promised not to cause her any more trouble.It's easy to get a good impression of someone who doesn't know you well, just show respect and patience, and then do what you like.

And just half an hour ago, she made a new attempt.That car was very familiar with the Forbidden Forest and was very fast. With it, Fanny's exploration of the Forbidden Forest would be much smoother and more exciting, so she offered an olive branch to it.

Thinking about it this way, maybe she doesn't get along well with other people just because they are "useless" and she never does anything unprofitable.

Fanny Sanchez has always been a loner, but no one knows that she actually dreads being alone and doing nothing like this.Because when you are truly alone like this, many things become unavoidable.She remembered Yata's unreserved admiration when she looked at her, she was willing to do anything for her, and all she paid was to spend some time talking to Yata and heal Yata's burned hand— That day Peeves suddenly rushed into the kitchen and overturned the soup pot because some troublemaker gave him some advice.

A despicable liar, Fanny quietly soaked in the pool exuding a light fragrance, defining herself.

There were not many classes on the second day, and Fanny would take a nap at the table when she had time - she almost lost her life, and those warning eyes were of course just a drizzle.When McGonagall led the team to the history of magic class, the team met the Slytherins led by Lockhart on the third floor. The sleepy Fanny felt an arrogant look. Before she realized who the owner of the look was, she Subconsciously, he stretched out his left hand and raised his bangs with the back of his hand facing outward.

According to Fanny's usual lazy nature, of course she is too lazy to trim and take care of her bangs. She just keeps her front and back hair the same length and pulls them behind her ears.Reluctantly, the long-term life of living indoors during the day and being active at night has whitened her a lot, and the scar on her forehead that will not disappear for a while is terribly eye-catching, so she had to make do with a horrible knife to cover herself.

Everything happened at the moment of passing by, and among the few people who noticed it, one saw it very clearly.Fanny had several criss-cross scars on the back of her hand, and the long gash on her white forehead was shocking.

Malfoy's expression froze, and when the people around whispered a few words about "did the stupid Gryffindor blow up the table again", for the first time, he didn't add bricks to the side.He didn't know how those scars got there, but he knew why they were there.

It was rare to fall asleep in McGonagall's class, but it wasn't until three days later when Harry and Ron spoke to Fanny that she learned the bad news of the exam a week later.

Of course, this is not the main point of the conversation between the two. They mainly want to express their gratitude and ask Fanny to do a little favor by the way—or the opposite.

"You mean, Myrtle is the girl who died when the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago?"

"It's not sure yet, so I need you to verify it for us." Harry said, "That's the girls' bathroom. We... are not very convenient."

"Could it be that you guys came to look for me because you couldn't think of a way to sneak past?" Fanny raised her eyebrows, seeing the two boys froze with satisfaction, "Well, it's not difficult. Tell me about you guys. Did you see anything unusual before?"

It was "exchange terms" again, and Harry and Ron explained the existing information honestly and politely.The spiders lined up for their lives, Hagrid's dead rooster within a month, and Harry hesitated to tell Fanny that she had suddenly run to the library the morning Hermione was attacked because he heard a strange disembodied voice again.

As for the reason why they were in the hut the day Hagrid was taken away, Harry only said that he asked because he thought Hagrid had a soft spot for huge monsters.Fanny saw the flicker in Harry's expression and the look he gave Ron, but she didn't see it.

"The spider is afraid that the monster has been verified, and the rooster is dead...Could it be that the rooster is not good for the monster? Only you can hear the sound...Ah!" Fanny jumped up all of a sudden, she looked around, ignoring Those puzzled expressions sat down again, and the eating speed suddenly became able to leave afterimages.

Half the table watched as Fanny stuffed a piece of steak, two chicken legs, three pieces of grilled fish, a plate of mashed potatoes, washed it down with a whole glass of pumpkin juice, and then jumped up, grabbing a bag with one hand and putting a napkin in her mouth with the other. The last touch was thrown aside, dumbfounded.

Harry, who was watching closely, had his glasses slipped to the tip of his nose, and Ron almost didn't look up there with his mouth half-opened - Merlin, he couldn't drink so fast.

Of course, this scene is not the first time it has appeared, but the impact... has not diminished in the slightest.

"I'm going to the library!" Fanny's back quickly disappeared, and when the last syllable came, it became illusory.

As expected of Hermione's friend.The two boys who turned their heads to look at each other saw these big characters in each other's eyes.
