[HP] Don't talk to me

Chapter 17 Competing

The scale of Hogwarts is small, and the number of new students this year is said to be the largest in ten years, but the total number is only fifty.Among them, there are twelve Slytherins, twelve Gryffindors, twelve Hufflepuffs, and fourteen Ravenclaws.Therefore, students from the same college got to know each other within a week.

And Andrew Saakashvili is the only foreign student of Ravenclaw College this year.

He came from a small fishing village by the Black Sea of ​​Georgia. Due to poor family conditions and no local schools in Georgia suitable for descendants of wizards, he applied to Hogwarts at the age of 11 and came to England to study.

He is proficient in Georgian and Russian, but he is not proficient in English, with a strong accent, so he was laughed at for a while after entering school.He has an ordinary appearance, a thin build with round eyes, and a few small freckles on his brownish complexion.He seemed very unconfident when talking to people, always looked away, and occasionally blushed.As a result, he quickly fell silent to the bottom of Ravenclaw, where there are many talented people, and he is the least conspicuous one.He himself is very content with his current situation.He thinks it's good not to be noticed, so in his daily study and life, he rarely speaks except for necessary moments.

But Andrew Saakashvili feels as if he has suddenly received special attention recently.

The follower was his polar opposite, the most talked about name in Ravenclaw house - Tal Effah.

Of course, he had become acquainted with Ta Efa within a week of enrolling, just as he had known other students.He was dumbfounded when he saw that she had caused a lot of sensational things in just a few months since she arrived at school.Reading comics in Professor Snape's Potions class, playing tricks in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, sleeping in Professor Flitwick's Charms class...

He felt that this girl was really crazy. She came to study in one of the best magic schools in Europe, and she didn't have a moment of peace.

But he never thought that he would get in touch with this girl.

After the Potions class was over that day, Andrew packed his things by himself as usual and planned to leave.He glanced at the podium out of the corner of his eye, and saw Taefa rushing up, holding the textbook and talking to Professor Snape, who was propping up the table with one hand while stroking his forehead with the other.

He has to admit that he has a big shortcoming, that is, because of his introverted personality, he likes to pay attention to people who are extroverted and lively.He is full of curiosity about Taefa, especially in the past few days, his curiosity has become stronger and stronger.

Because—Taefa suddenly changed from a troublesome student in class to a good student who spoke seriously and actively in class.The shift came without warning and almost everyone was taken aback.But the person concerned looked natural and generous, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the people around him.

"You have to tell me how to do this experiment."

Andrew pricked up his ears and heard Taefa's voice.

"Like I said, go read the books by yourself." Snape said flatly, "Miss Alpha, if you can't find them in the books, please go to the library to look for materials."

"Tell me about it, won't you?"

"No."

"Stingy!"

"You just know?"

Andrew lowered his head in panic, because Taefa came down from the podium angrily and saw him at a glance.

He regretted his curiosity a bit. Now Taefa couldn't see anyone in the classroom except himself, and the goal was too obvious.

"Andrew, do you want to go to the library together?" Taefa approached with a friendly voice.

Andrew never imagined that he would sit in the library with Taefa and read a book.He was a little nervous and a little excited.After all, this was the first female classmate who approached him. He kept his energy and concentrated on answering the questions. Taefa's earnest and respectful expression made him feel satisfied.

"Andrew," Taefa said seriously while taking notes, "I'm going to take No.1 in this final exam."

"I think...should...I mean you can." Andrew stammered in response.Taefa sat next to him, and the girl's blond hair brushed his shoulders from time to time, making him too nervous to move.

"Absolutely, must!" Taefa clenched his fist and waved it in the air.

"Is No.1 that important?"

"Of course, I want to show Professor Snape how powerful I am, I can't stand his stinky face anymore! Hmph, super cheapskate, give up your mind!"

"Oh..." Andrew took a deep breath, buried his head and stopped talking, because he didn't know what to say.

Since then, Taefa has been a part of Andrew's peaceful life.Andrew's grades are excellent, and he is one of the best in the academy. Taefa took a fancy to this and pestered him to study together.The two went to class together, went to the library together, and discussed homework together in the Ravenclaw common room.

Andrew knew that Taefa made a bet with Professor Snape to see if she could get No.1 in the final exam.Although Taefa did not say it clearly, judging from her performance, this bet must be very important.

Andrew found it hard to imagine what Professor Snape was like in private.After all, during class, Professor Snape's young and pale face could hardly see any waves.

However, Andrew felt that the only person who could break Professor Snape's plain expression was Taefa.Every time she stood up to ask or answer a question, Professor Snape always stopped in front of her, leaning over, frowning at her.No matter how Taefa behaved, Professor Snape would always twitch the corner of his mouth before beginning his usual sarcasm.

I don't know if Taefa has so many connections with Professor Snape, is it because of Taefa's "famous painting" in the confinement room?That painting was so famous that even Andrew secretly went to see it, and couldn't help laughing all day.Until Dumbledore asked the elf to move the bookshelf to block it, there were still imitations circulating among the colleges.

Andrew once asked Taefa: "Why do you always have trouble with Professor Snape?"

Taefa rolled his eyes and said, "Who says I can't get along with him? I like Professor Snape very much, very much." After finishing speaking, he showed a bright smile.

Soon, it will be the day of the final exam.That day Andrew felt that he had exhausted all his strength, and he was determined to bring home a good grade. Of course, he hesitated when doing the questions, and then chose a question for each subject and quietly wrote the wrong answer.He saw Taefa standing up after the last history of magic examination, stretching his waist and yawning, but when facing him, he showed an expression of certainty.

However, a day later, when the total score was tallied, there was a groan in the Ravenclaw College lounge.

"Do not--"

The source of this scream was also Taefa.She clutched her report card tightly in her hands, stared at her for a few times, and then fell onto the sofa with her head in her arms.

There are always troublesome people who will go up to meet them at such a time. "What's the matter, let me see?"

Taefa looked up, chest out, hands up.

With a crisp incantation, the wretch who joined the fun was immediately caught, and began to dance a funny tarantella.

The crowd who originally wanted to join in was immediately frightened and motionless.

"I got an E in Potions, second overall—who is first?" Taefa stood up with a frantic look on his face.

Not far away, Andrew also just got his report card, and immediately glanced at Taefa, who was almost in a fire-breathing state, feeling that maybe being in the same room as a real fire-breathing dragon at this time was worse than being in the same room as her. It's safer together.

For a long time no one answered.

Andrew felt that time was silent, he hesitated again and again, and finally mustered up his courage.

He gently and slowly raised his right hand.

The author has something to say:

Well-intentioned and unlucky Andrew, lol.
