Wood's Quidditch training is getting tougher and tougher. This is his last Quidditch match at Hogwarts, and he was disappointed for a while when the Chamber of Secrets tournament was canceled last year.

As the weather got worse, so did their training, but none of them complained.For Gryffindors who are not afraid of challenges, the harder it is, the more they look forward to victory.

It was time to go to Hogsmeade for the first weekend, and the little lions were very excited.Lida tugged at Fred, who was planning to go to the seasoning and joke store with George, and said, "I won't go with you this time, my research is at a critical juncture." After speaking, she told George Blinking, he said with a smile, "Fred will give you back for a few days first, and I will take it back after Hogsmeade is over!"

Fred seemed disappointed that Lida couldn't go to Hogsmeade with them, "You really can't go? This is our first time to Hogsmeade!"

Lida poked him amusedly: "Stop messing around, we don't know how many times we've been there." You know, they already knew the seven secret passages to Hogsmeade in their first grade.

Fred looked aggrieved: "I mean, this is our first date in Hogsmeade."

Lida stroked his arm back and forth apologetically: "I'm sorry, Fred, I will make it up to you." She took advantage of the situation and squeezed, um, it was hard.

"How to compensate?"

Lida thought for a while, and said, "I can promise you one thing." With a mischievous smile on Fred's face, he asked, "Anything is fine?"

It was only then that Lida realized that Fred did it on purpose.She wanted to pretend to be angry, but she couldn't help but put a smile on her face, "As long as it's not too much!" No way, she just likes to calm down his naughtiness.

Fred and George went to Hogsmeade, and Lida also had a free day. Although they were passionately in love, it was a terrible thing to stick together every day.

On Saturday, Lida deliberately stayed in bed for a long time, and only lazily got up around noon. After tidying herself up, she went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and then climbed to the eighth floor, where the Room of Requirement was a A great place for her to do her research.When I went up to the second floor, I happened to meet Harry coming out of Professor Lupine's office.

"Harry?" Lida called him in surprise, "Why didn't you go to Hogsmeade?"

Seeing Lida, Harry's eyes brightened obviously, and he became depressed again after hearing her question. "Beverly is unwilling to help me sign the application form."

Lida also looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why?"

Harry: "I want to know too."

Harry looked really sluggish, and Lida ruthlessly ruffled her short, messy black hair. "I can't go anyway, let me do the experiment!"

After speaking, Lida led him to the eighth floor. "What were you doing in Professor Lupine's office just now?"

"He saw that I didn't go to Hogsmeade, so he invited me to drink tea." Harry said as he walked with her, "I saw Snape at Professor Lupin's."

"Huh? Snape? What was he doing there?"

"He gave Professor Lupine a potion."

"What potion?"

"I don't know, they didn't say it, but I think it's definitely not a good thing!"

Lida glanced at him with a smile and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Harry felt that Lida didn't believe him, so he said eagerly, "I don't think Snape is a good person."

Lida put away the smile on her face, looked at him seriously, and asked, "What do you say?"

"He's obsessed with the Dark Arts, and..." Why Harry didn't trust Snape he couldn't really say. "And he is very unfriendly to you, isn't he?" Lida added.

Harry blushed a little, which was of course part of it, but he was a little embarrassed when Lida said it this way.

"Do you trust Beverly?" Lida asked Harry suddenly.

Harry said, "Of course I believe her!"

"Snape is her fiancé."

"!!!" Harry stood there in shock.

Lida took a few steps, but when she saw that he was not following, she stopped and looked back at him.Seeing Harry's dull face, Lida couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After a while, she held back her smile and said to Harry, "It's unbelievable, isn't it? I couldn't accept the news at first." She waved her hand, motioning for Harry to follow.

"I don't like Snape now, but I believe in Beverly, she will not let a bad person into our lives." Lida continued: "Although Beverly is sometimes childish, she is indeed a reliable person." My lord. And Sirius knows about their engagement."

"What?" Harry looked even more shocked, "Sirius knows too?" His expression looked a bit sad, "I had hoped that they would remarry..."

Lida gave him a funny look and said, "Remarried? None of them have ever been married."

"..." The amount of news today is a bit heavy, and he needs to digest it carefully.

"Here, it's here." While speaking, they had come to the opposite side of the tapestry of Barnabas on the eighth floor. Lida walked back and forth three times, and a door emerged from the wall.She made a welcome gesture and said, "Dangdang~ This is the Room of Response, Beverly told me, even Fred and George didn't know about it!"

Harry followed her to open the door and walked in. It was a very large room, and there was nothing but a suitcase in the middle of the room.The suitcase was big and tall, at least half the height of Harry.

Lida walked over and pressed the switch of the suitcase, and the suitcase opened and turned into a tall bookcase with three doors.The bookcase on the far right was full of thick-leather books, many parchment scrolls, and even some Muggle notebooks; the middle bookcase contained all kinds of hard stone or wooden boards, and some materials Harry didn't recognize. ; There are many bottles and jars in the bookcase on the left, some still have liquid in them, some are empty, and they are all arranged in an orderly manner according to the initials of their names.

"These things are my research notes, conclusions, and related books over the past few years." Lida proudly pointed to the bookcase and introduced to Harry, "The middle is the materials I bought or collected from various places, most of them From the Forbidden Forest, there are many good things in it! The left side is full of potions, many of which were given to me by Snape, which may be the reason why I defaulted to his relationship with Beverly." Lida said to Ha Leigh blinked, his naughty look was exactly like Fred's.

She gestured the whole cabinet with her hands, and said, "I asked Fred and George to make this cabinet for me. You know, they are geniuses in making it, and there is an infinite extension spell cast in it."

"Wow!" Harry touched here and there curiously, and when he heard Snape giving Leda the potion, he walked up to take a closer look, for fear that he might give her a bottle of meth.

Lida smiled and pinched Harry's face, which still had some baby fat, and said, "Don't be afraid, even if Snape sent me a penis, it was my own initiative."

Hearing what Lida said, Harry silently withdrew his gaze, still a little depressed, and asked Lida, "Why didn't Beverly tell me that she was engaged to Snape?"

"I'm afraid you can't accept it, and there are not many people who know it, only me, Sirius, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Dumbledore, and now you are counted as one!" Lida said.

"Dumbledore knows too?"

"Yes, Dumbledore is their witness."

"Oh...why didn't they make it public?" Harry asked.

"...I don't know about this, but there are advantages to not making it public. Think about it, if people find out that Snape is about to become my stepfather, your uncle, what will others say?" Lida boasted He pretended to shake his body.

Harry thought about it, and the expression on his face was indescribable: "That must be scary! But the expressions of the Slytherins must be wonderful." Lida laughed loudly, "That's right!"

Seeing that Harry was finally not so depressed, Lida winked at him and said, "Come and do experiments with me now!"

Harry watched as Lida drew an elaborate magic circle on the ground, placing his wand in the center of the circle.Harry asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?" Lida didn't look up, and continued to move her hands, saying, "Add some protection to my wand."

"???"

"For wizards, the wand is a very important and fragile friend. If the wand is taken away by the enemy, ordinary adult wizards can't do anything. So after asking about my wand, I decided to add some protection measures for her .”

Harry was even more puzzled: "Ask? How to ask? What are you going to do?"

Lida said, "Do you remember what Ollivander said when you bought the wand?" Harry nodded and said, "It's not the wizard who chooses the wand, the wand chooses the wizard."

"That's right, so wizards can actually communicate with their wands, but you have to calm down and sense them carefully." Lida took out two bottles of potions from the bookcase on the left, pointed to the magic circle on the ground and said, "This is the magic circle I have been using since I found a magic formation in an ancient book, and I changed the formation slightly, as long as I put my own magic power into the formation, it is difficult to output magic directly without a magic wand, so I prepared two bottles of magic power booster." She shook He shook the two potion bottles in his hand.

After the preparations were finished, Lida turned her head to look at Harry and said, "Listen, Harry, I will feel a little uncomfortable after drinking the magic booster, but it's okay, don't worry, I've tried it many times. If I If my magic power is exhausted and I faint, I have to wait until the magic circle is completed before I can be sent to the school hospital, you know?" Harry hesitated, Lida smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, there will be no danger." Lida's The smile had a reassuring effect, which, combined with her affirmative tone and confident expression, made Harry nod his head.

Seeing that Harry agreed, Lida took a deep breath and drank the whole bottle of magic booster in one go.Her body immediately started to heat up, and she felt the magic power in her body rushing around, as if she was about to explode. Lida put her hand in the middle of the array and began to inject magic power into the magic circle.

With the input of magic power, the magic circle began to glow from the position of Lida's hand, and the powder that originally formed the shape of the magic circle slowly solidified.Lida poured herself another bottle of magic booster, and the feeling of a large amount of magic flowing through her body made her extremely painful.In order not to scare Harry, Lida bit her lower lip tightly, but she still couldn't stop her from moaning in pain.

Harry looked nervously at Lida, and Lida who was kneeling on the ground with flushed face and bulging veins. He began to draw in his mind the emergency measures in case of various situations. Now he has begun to regret agreeing Lida died, and he felt that she should be sent to the school hospital immediately.

"... Ha... Ha... Li... Harry..." Suddenly, Harry heard Lida calling him, and he quickly squatted down and put his ear close to her: "I am here, Lida, what do you want me to do?" Do?"

Lida looked even more uncomfortable: "...Magic...magic booster...take...a few more bottles...give...me..."

Harry got up immediately and rummaged in the bookcase on the left.He took down Lida's last few bottles of magic power and put them beside her.Lida trembled and reached for it with the other hand, but her hand was so trembling that she couldn't even hold the bottle steadily. "... help... me... Harry..."

Harry quickly pulled off the bottle cap and poured Lida a bottle of magic booster.There was only one last point left in the magic circle to complete. Lida stared at the magic wand in the center of the circle, trying not to faint. The magic wand in the center of the circle seemed to be vibrating slightly.

Finally, the magic circle erupted with a bright blue light, soared upwards, and wrapped Lida's wand.Lida breathed a sigh of relief and let herself pass out.Harry hastily lifted Lida up with the Levitating Charm, and led her to the school hospital. He didn't notice that Lida's wand flew towards Lida as if it had a consciousness of its own.

Lida opened her heavy eyelids again, looked around the white surroundings, and took a long time to realize that this was the school hospital.She shuddered suddenly, wanting to see if her wand was ready, but her whole body went limp and she couldn't even move.

"... Cough..." She cleared her throat, attracting Madam Pomfrey's attention.She quickly took a bottle of potion and fed it to Lida's mouth, angrily: "Drink this."

Lida was afraid of Madam Pomfrey, who was obviously kind and amiable but spoke fiercely, and didn't dare to resist, so she swallowed it in one gulp.Then the weird taste lingered on her taste buds for a long time, Lida wanted to vomit, but she didn't dare to move, because Madam Pomfrey's expression was scarier than this bottle of potion.

Lida finally regained some strength, and she supported herself to sit down.Seeing that she was much better, Madam Pomfrey yelled at her: "Are you crazy? Goldstein! Do you know what happens if you drink three bottles of magic booster in a row? You will explode and die, or your life I can't use the wand again!" Lida hurriedly bowed down to her and apologized, promising that she would never do it again, and that she would make every drop of the potion on time in the past few days, so she let Lida go.

Seeing that Madam Pomfrey was busy with others, Lida quietly took out the wand from her sleeve.I saw that the originally clean and smooth wand was now covered with magic patterns.

Lida put the wand on the side of the bed, spread her palms, moved her fingers, and whispered: "Come here." The wand flew into her hand with a whoosh, Lida threw the wand again, and before it landed, called: " Come here." The wand turned around as if it had self-awareness, and flew back to Lida's hand, this time Lida finally laughed out of joy.

"It's wonderful!" A cheer came from the door, Lida looked up and saw that it was Dumbledore, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Dumbledore went to Leda's bedside and said, "Very good, Miss Goldstein. Oh, may I call you Leda?" Leda nodded, "Of course, Professor."

Dumbledore blinked his kind blue eyes and said, "Could you lend me your wand, Lida." Lida let go of the wand, and controlled it to fly towards Dumbledore on hand.

Dumbledore carefully examined the magic pattern on the wand and recognized it: "Protection, freedom, loyalty, storage and guidance." Lida grinned at him: "Do you also have research on magic circles? Professor."

Dumbledore put Lida's wand on the palm of his hand, and let it fly back to Lida's side, "It's not really research, but I just learned something." Dumbledore showed a kind expression, and he praised: "It's very Excellent, a very successful magic circle, and a great idea, Lida."

Lida's expression was rare and a little shy: "Thank you, Professor." Dumbledore stroked his beard and continued: "It's rare that there are children who are interested in the boring art of magic circles. I am very proud of you." He paused, and his tone became serious: "But next time, I hope you can put your own safety as the first priority. It is not a trivial matter to drink three bottles of magic power growth potion in one go. You know, the magic power of wizards before they reach adulthood is [-]%. In the growth stage, a little carelessness will cause the magic power to run wild, hurt yourself or others, and even become a squib." Lida lowered her head in shame.

Dumbledore added: "I'm proud of your excellence, but I don't want to see a new star fall before it shines. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your mother and Harry. If they lose How sad will you be?"

Lida looked even more ashamed, Dumbledore changed his tone, and returned to his previous mischievous tone, saying: "Of course, for your excellence, I think I have to add to Gryffindor... um... How about fifty minutes?" Lida's eyes lit up, she looked up at Dumbledore, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Professor."

"You're welcome, you have to apologize to the people who care about you, they are very worried." Dumbledore motioned her to look at the entrance of the school hospital, Lida looked over, Fred and George, and Harry, Luo Grace and Hermione just opened the door and came in.

"Fred!" Lida shouted happily, "Oh, George, Harry, Ron, Hermione, you are here too!"

They came over to say hello to Dumbledore, and then gathered around Lida's hospital bed, asking each other one after another.

Ron asked, "Leda, we've heard Harry! Have you really managed to modify your wand?"

At this moment, Lida couldn't help showing a childish smug expression on her face. She took out her wand and showed them: "It worked!"

She threw the wand out, and then controlled it to fly back by itself, causing a gasp. "Cool!" exclaimed Ron.

"It's too dangerous!" Hermione glared at Ron, and couldn't help but teach: "Do you know the consequences of drinking three bottles of magic booster for underage wizards? You may die, or you may become a squib !"

Lida held her forehead and said helplessly, "I know, you are already the third person who reminded me like that today, and I won't do it again next time."

Harry said, "You'd better do what you say, I'm freaking out today!"

"Sorry, Harry, I was trying to make you feel better."

George said, "We brought you some sweets from Honeydukes to make you feel better after your potion."

Lida thanked: "Oh! You are such an angel, George, thank you!" After finishing speaking, she looked at Fred who was expressionless, and called softly: "Fred..."

Fred didn't respond, still with a cold face, and the atmosphere was limited and awkward.George glanced at his brother, and said to the other three little ones, "Leave them alone for a while! I think they need to talk." The four said goodbye to Lida and turned to leave the school hospital. Before leaving, George thoughtfully pulled Draw the curtains.

Lida reached out to Fred's tightly clenched fist, and called him cautiously: "...Fred..." The last time he saw his expressionless face was the time when he thought she was kissing Katie .

Fred turned his head to look at her, Lida was taken aback by his indifferent gaze, and immediately felt extremely wronged.She twitched her nose, held his hand and said with a hint of tears: "...Fred, I was wrong, don't ignore me."

"What's wrong?" Fred finally spoke, and Lida was relieved. "I will never do these dangerous things again..."

"anything else?"

"...Tell you before the experiment?"

"anything else?"

Lida pursed her lips and said, "...I won't lie to you again."

Fred sighed and pulled Lida into his arms.Lida also hugged his waist tightly, and took a deep breath of the candy smell on his body.

"Your expressionless face is so scary, it scares me." Lida was coquettish with him.

"You are the one who scared me." As he spoke, Fred tightened his arms a little more.Lida felt a little pain, but she didn't push him away.

"I'm sorry." She apologized again, sincerely, for her waywardness.

Fred let go of her and took her face in his cup instead, pressing his lips to hers. "Don't scare me anymore..." His voice trembled.Lida wrapped her hands around his neck and responded enthusiastically to him.Never again, I promise!
