This Hogwarts is not normal

"what--"

A scream was heard from the castle garden shrouded in mist.

In front of the old oak tree locked with iron chains, Vincent faced the fog, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and lowered the double snake staff in his hand.

Hermione beside him looked at Misty with a little disdain, "I never thought that Ced was such a sinister person."

Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the fog and saw Cedric fighting against the huge black shadow. "You guys really have a lot of tricks."

Vincent blinked his big eyes, looking harmless, "Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts."

Hermione twitched her lips, "You seem quite proud of yourself? If Qiu knew the truth, she would hate us to death."

Vincent hugged her gently, "It's okay, Qiu has never watched a Muggle TV show, so she doesn't know the routine of conspiring with friends to be a hero and save the damsel in distress."

Hermione puffed up her cheeks, "Let's figure out how to wrap this up. Qiu is not stupid, she will find out the problem sooner or later."

"Okay." Vincent sat down with her and leaned his back against the old oak tree.

He thought about it carefully, "How about we make the curse real?"

Hermione gently rested her head on his shoulder, "Making up stories? This is something you're good at."

Vincent reached out and pinched her nose. "You're quite good at making up stories. Have you forgotten how we tricked Fudge in our first year?"

The reason why Quirrell became a half-human, half-ghost appearance was not only because of the damage to his soul caused by Voldemort's possession, but also because of the crazy targeting of the six little ones.

Hermione couldn't help laughing when she thought of the bottle of fluorescent green scabies potion.

But she quickly turned serious again, "The curse legend of Alton Towers must be related to wizards, and it was finally solved by us."

Vincent nodded, "A young and beautiful witch... or an old witch is better. She hated the owner of the castle because of something, so she cursed the whole family."

Hermione glanced up at him, "Love again?"

She changed to a more comfortable position and rested her head on his shoulder again. "I think the owner of the castle may have offended the old witch, so she cast the curse."

"How about borrowing money?"

"Why would a wizard want Muggle money?"

“Buy beautiful clothes.”

Hermione looked at him with a smile, her hands seemed to be ready to move. "That makes perfect sense, but I always feel like you're hinting at something."

Vincent blinked innocently and pressed her hand with a little force. "No, no, it's women's nature to love beauty. I personally respect and support them very much."

Hermione rubbed her forehead against his neck, "The Statute of Secrecy was established 200 years ago. It's unreasonable to curse a Muggle, isn't it?"

Vincent held her little hand and interlocked their fingers. "It won't work if you curse the old oak tree. Every time a branch falls, a member of the castle owner's family will die."

"The curse kept coming true, and the castle owner had no choice but to lock the old oak tree with an iron chain to prevent its branches from falling."

"Yes, it was not until our arrival that the curse activated the defensive magic because it detected the wizard."

Hermione nuzzled his neck again, "I wonder if Cho will believe this story."

Vincent looked at the mist in the distance and said, "Of course I believe it. This is a story we made up together."

"Ah..." Hermione felt particularly guilty, "If Ced dares to let Qiu down in the future, you must punish him."

"You don't have to tell me, I will definitely beat him into a pig's head."

the other side,

Cedric, who successfully defeated the shadow, sat down on the ground panting.

Qiu looked worried, "Ced, are you okay? Are you not hurt?"

"It's okay, I--" Cedric covered his chest and took a deep breath.

Qiu quickly squatted in front of him. "Are you injured? Is the injury serious?"

She gently reached out to his covered chest, as if trying to unbutton his slightly dirty white shirt.

"I was accidentally hit just now." Cedric said and took a deep breath.

He was not pretending, the huge black shadow really hit him hard.

Qiu unbuttoned his shirt and saw a large bruise.

"What should I do... I don't have my wand with me..."

She sobbed softly, "Sed, I'm sorry, if you weren't for..."

Cedric hugged her tightly in his arms, "Don't blame yourself, I said I would protect you."

Qiu couldn't see the guilt on his face, "Thank you, Ced."

She stopped crying and found that the fog around her began to dissipate.

"We are saved?" She looked surprised. "It was Vincent and his friends. They lifted the curse."

"Yeah." Cedric smiled bitterly and looked at the fallen shadow.

No wonder it is so strong, it turns out it is a tree man formed by the surrounding big trees.

As the fog dissipated, the tree man turned back into his original big tree.

Qiu helped Cedric to stand up, "Hold on a little longer, they will definitely have a way to treat your injury."

A moment later, Vincent and Hermione came over one after another.

"Are you all right? Ced, are you hurt?"

Vincent immediately went forward to treat him and deliberately poked his bruised chest with his caduceus.

A flash of gloating flashed across Hermione's face.

She came to Qiu and talked about the curse.

Maybe it was because she was worried about Cedric, or maybe it was because the story was too well-written, but Qiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong after listening to it.

This made Hermione feel even more guilty.

She shot a look at Vincent, and Cedric soon grimaced in pain.

"Um... my injury shouldn't be serious, right?"

Vincent smiled at him. "Not serious? Two ribs were broken, and they almost pierced into the lungs."

Qiu felt even more guilty.

The more guilty she felt, the more guilty Hermione felt, and Vincent hit her harder.

Cedric, as the biggest beneficiary, was almost unable to bear the pain.

Of course he knew that this was a warning to himself, and he also dared to swear that he would never let Qiu down in this life.

Dr. Wayne's miracle treatment brought him back to health, and soon he was completely "cured".

After the curse, the four people who evaded the ticket obviously had no intention of continuing the tour.

"I know a restaurant that serves delicious French food."

Vincent said this while hinting at Cedric with his eyes.

"Brother, you've done your best. Shouldn't you give me some hush money?"

"I just happen to be hungry." Cedric nodded heavily, "Let's go, where is the restaurant?"

"London."

In the heavy rain, four people walked into the Eggplant Restaurant holding umbrellas.

Gordon Ramsay, who had not yet been promoted to Hell's Cook, recognized Vincent and Hermione, a couple who impressed him, at first sight.

As usual, all dishes are decided by the chef.
