On the morning after the "Petrification" incident, an accident occurred in the fourth-year Potions class. One of the Weasley twins was injured by an exploding cauldron, and his arm was dripping with blood... He had to be sent away by the other Weasley. Infirmary.

At the door of the infirmary, George covered his bleeding arm and glanced at Fred. "I'll hold Madam Pomfrey while you go find Sigrid"

The two people made eye contact and opened the door of the infirmary!

"You little wizards are really too careless." Madam Pomfrey took George's arm and glanced at it, motioning for him and herself to go in and change the dressing.

Fred was the only one left in the ward. He observed that several hospital beds around him were surrounded by thick white cloths, making it impossible to tell who was there.

"Sigrid, please, tell me where you are?" ” Fred prayed in his heart that Sigrid could give him some hints.

Suddenly, he remembered the "Fred Bookmark" he gave her. It contained his own magic power and he could sense it!

Hope Sigrid brings it!

Fred took out his wand and tried to summon it using his own magic sense! !

"Speak" Fred gave "himself" an order.

[Sigrid, good morning] [Sigrid, good night] [Sigrid is so beautiful] His own voice came from a hospital bed surrounded by white cloth...

Fred quickly ran towards the bed. The thick white cloth wrapped the entire bed tightly. Fred felt the white cloth all over before finding the joint.

He carefully opened the interface...

Finally saw her.

Sigrid's expression still remained at the moment of being petrified. Her originally bright dark green eyes were as red as if she had just cried. The despair and fear that filled her at that moment were clearly visible. Her mouth was pursed tightly as if she was afraid that she would accidentally scream. She bit it hard with her teeth, making her look like a sculpture.

Fred carefully rubbed her right hand on her chest with his fingertips, which was still in a grasping position.

Sure enough, it's as hard as stone. Is this petrification? There was no warmth... nothing like the Sigrid he knew.

He sat on the bedside and helped her straighten her messy curly hair and the wrinkles on her clothes. The "Fred" bookmark he gave her fell out of his pocket, and Fred carefully put it back...

This is the second time, he thought.

Last time at the Duel Club, he pulled Sigrid away from the black snake, but this time, he could do nothing but sit here and watch her being petrified.

He likes her and has had a crush on her since the first time they met...

He was extremely sure that he really liked her, very much...

Therefore, he felt helpless and blamed himself. Fred looked into her eyes and said to himself, "You must become stronger quickly to protect her!"

Finally, Fred leaned forward and gently touched the tip of Sigrid's nose with his lips, "Sigrid, when you wake up, let's have a formal date, okay?"

He didn't have to wait for her answer, they would definitely be together.

When Fred found the opportunity to sneak into the medical room again, Sigrid was no longer there.

Sigrid was picked up by the Stewarts on the morning Fred went to see her in the infirmary for the first time.

William Abbott Stewart had apparated outside Hogwarts Castle, and Albus Dumbledore invited him into the Headmaster's office.

"I'm very sorry about Miss Stewart's accident." Dumbledore apologized sincerely.

"I leave my daughter to you with confidence..." Mr. Stewart said restrainedly.

Before Headmaster Dumbledore could say anything he continued, "I'm taking her away today."

"I suggest you leave Miss Stewart here. The mandrakes are about to mature and we can treat her right away," Dumbledore suggested.

"My wife used to be an excellent doctor at St. Mungo's. We can take good care of her." Mr. Stewart now doesn't trust the greatest magician today. "Headmaster Dumbledore should focus on Hogwarts, it is in danger now"

In the end, Dumbledore agreed to Mr. Stewart's request, and Sigrid Stewart was brought back to Stewart Manor.

Hogwarts was in a state of war for a month.

On May 5st, the principal of Hogwarts summoned all teachers and students at the school to gather in the lobby. It is announced that the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets incident has been solved and the monster has been destroyed.

In an instant, the hall was filled with joy, and all the students laughed heartlessly, hugged each other, and threw their wizard hats high.

Principal Dumbledore awarded Harry and Ron the School's Special Contribution Award, winning 400 points for Gryffindor.

Gryffindor wins the House Cup again.

Professor Sprout announced that the mandrake was ripe and Madam Pomfrey was brewing the antidote. It was expected that all petrified students, ghosts and Madam Norris would be cured within a week.

Professor McGonagall announces the cancellation of final exams.

Good news was announced one after another, overwhelming the students present, especially the little wizards of Gryffindor...

There was a slumber party at Hogwarts that night, which lasted all night.

Fred was surrounded by a group of excited classmates. He smiled and clapped his hands to celebrate like everyone else, but his thoughts were already far away.

How is Sigrid?

When will she wake up?

June 6rd was her birthday, and he and George promised to give her a birthday surprise when they celebrated her birthday in Hogsmeade...

In fact, before he had time to prepare for this surprise, Sigrid's petrification interrupted all plans. He had no time to think about that promise. Maybe he could start preparing now and make up for it when he sees Sigrid next time. This birthday gift.

In fact, Sigrid's 13th birthday passed without realizing it.

When she opened her eyes again, she was lying in the bedroom of Stewart Manor, her parents and brother looking at her expectantly.

"Sil, my baby." Mom came forward first, kissed her forehead, and hugged her.

After that, her father and brother also stepped forward to hug her.

"How long have I been asleep?" Sigrid is still dazed now, and she can't remember much of what happened that day. Maybe it's because she subconsciously refuses to recall it.

"Poor Syl, today is June 6th, and you have been lying down for almost a month," her mother told her, touching her curly hair.

"Oh, I missed my 13th birthday?" Sigrid realized later.

"Don't be sad. Mom is preparing a birthday party for you. Call all your good friends over," her mother comforted her.

"Is Hogwarts on vacation? Did I miss the exam?" Sigrid suddenly realized that she seemed to have missed more than just her birthday.

"Don't worry, Hogwarts has canceled its final exams this year, and the school will announce a holiday soon. You can just go to school directly when school starts next year," Dad said.

Sigrid was not in a good condition after she woke up. She seemed to have some mental problem. She did not dare to close her eyes for fear that she would never open them again.

Her parents had to take her to St. Mungo's PTSD Unit

After a month of psychological suggestion and auxiliary potion treatment, Sigrid finally recovered.

The Stewarts cried with joy and decided to hold a replacement birthday party for her on July 7. They wanted to give their daughter a grand birthday party.

The Stewart family's owl sent birthday invitations made of velvet paper with double-sided gold stamping to wizarding families of all sizes in the UK. As long as Sigrid was in the same grade as a family with wizarding blood, they all received the invitations. .

On July 7, Sigrid, who was discharged from the hospital, finally thought of her friends. She sat on her desk and wrote to them one by one, telling them that she had recovered.

Of course she wrote to Fred.

Dear Fred:

By the time you read this letter, I have recovered, so don't worry about me, I'm fine now.

On July 7th, I will hold a make-up birthday party for me. I hope you and your family will come to attend.

Your Sigrid

During her stay in the hospital, she couldn't help but think about him, remembering Fred who pulled away from her when the Black Snake approached in the Duel Club, and the strange feeling he gave her afterwards.

She couldn't say why, but she was extremely sure that if Fred had been around her in the bathroom that day, he would have tried his best to protect her.

I really want to meet Fred!

I wonder what he is doing now?

Will you think of her occasionally?

The Burrow

"The Daily Prophet made me look really ugly, like a big fool." Ron stuffed bread into his mouth and looked at the "Daily Prophet" angrily and dissatisfied.

The headline in the newspaper read "Ministry of Magic Staff Wins Big Prize".

It briefly introduced their father, and highlighted that he won the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize - a 700 gold galleons reward.

In the photo, an excited Mr. Weasley told the Daily Prophet, "We will be vacationing in Egypt during the summer vacation, where our eldest son Bill will be working as a curse countermeasures officer at Gringotts Wizarding Bank."

Behind Mr. Weasley, the petite and plump Mrs. Weasley and a row of identical red-haired girls stood together in a lively manner.

"Mom, when will we leave for Egypt?" Ginny was already looking forward to it. Their family had never traveled long distances together as a family.

"Come on, my baby Ginny." Mrs. Weasley hugged Ginny and touched her head. Ever since she found out that Ginny was petrified and almost died, Mrs. Weasley was heartbroken and wished she could always be under her nose. .

"Your father has already submitted the leave note to the Human Resources Department of the Ministry of Magic. We will set off once it is approved," Mrs. Weasley explained.

"Mom, can I not go?" Fred said. "Actually, I think we should leave one person to look after the house."

"No - okay, George" Mrs. Weasley dismissed without mercy. "What other evil idea have you come up with? Come with us to Egypt. I don't worry about leaving you alone at home - my house!"

"Mom, I'm George." The real George raised his hands dissatisfiedly next to Fred.

"I'm sorry, dear, Mom accidentally admitted her mistake." She apologized sincerely and continued without any reservations, "In short, neither Fred nor George can stay at home."

"Yes, they have been acting weird this summer," Ron reported to his mother. "They don't go out to play either. They stay in the bedroom all day and don't come out until the owl comes back with a message."

Ron touched his chin with an expression of "I know you have a problem" and continued, "Mom, they must be preparing for a big move!"

George waved his fist threateningly at Ron where his mother couldn't see him, but Fred didn't want to talk to this useless brother at all.

He was still waiting for news from Sigrid. They had prepared a gift for her and he wanted to hand it to her personally.

Unfortunately, Mr. Weasley's leave note was approved the next day.

The Weasley family packed their bags and embarked on an adventure trip to Egypt.

Missed the birthday party invitation from Stewart Manor three days later.

And Fred also missed the letter from Sigrid sent two days late to tell him that he was safe.

Sigrid's letters to other friends were quickly responded to. Everyone was concerned about her current physical condition and promised to attend the birthday invitation sent three days ago.

On July 7, Sigrid was sitting on the dressing table a little absent-mindedly, while the makeup artist specially hired by her mother from Diagon Alley was taking care of her curly hair.

"Miss Stewart, you are in great shape today. I have painted makeup for so many aristocratic ladies, and none of them can compare to you." The makeup artist praised Sigrid's beauty in an exaggerated tone.

"I promise, you will be stunning today," the makeup artist assured her after helping her put on the complicated dress.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the banquet at Stewart Manor officially started. Their family rarely held such a large-scale banquet. The last time it was the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony for their eldest son, Alan, when they first moved to London.

Guests arrived at the manor one after another. They wore appropriate dresses and chatted on the sofa, hall and living room on the first floor. They chatted in the courtyard with the little wizard who was as big as Sigrid.

Every grand banquet is a good opportunity to bond, build relationships, and expand connections. Naturally, these ambitious and aspiring nobles will not be absent.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Sigrid came down as the host, accompanied by her father.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the stage. Sigrid's black curly hair was cleverly tied on her head, and she wore a small crown set with pink diamonds on her head.

Her slender neck was exposed cleanly, without a trace of broken hair, and she only wore a pink diamond necklace of the same style as the crown.

The pale pink dress fit perfectly and exuded a unique girlish style. It had layers of complicated patterns and criss-crossed gold and silver threads. Under the reflection of the light, her whole body was glowing.

No one can deny her beauty, even if she is only 13 years old.

Most heads of noble families are already considering the possibility of marrying this girl home...

The little wizard who went to school with Sigrid was stunned. Sigrid was so dazzling that the fairy godmother in fairy tales was just like that when she was a girl.

The dance officially begins.

Sigrid was the first to appear as the lead dancer, led by his brother Alan.

The melodious melodies came one after another. Sigrid, her brother, her father, and a few familiar little wizards from Hogwarts danced a few songs before losing interest.

She took a blueberry cake from the dining area. Today was a rare day she gave herself the freedom to eat.

"Sigrid, you are so beautiful today." Theodore came over and got a glass of wine and started chatting with her.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Nott" Sigrid recalled the first time she danced with him, and she said the same thing at that time.

"I'm serious, you didn't make a mistake today." Theodore also thought of what happened when he was a child.

"Thank you, Theodore" Sigrid thanked her seriously.

"Hi, Sigrid and Theodore, so you are here" Zabini and Draco walked over together.

"You are in great shape today, like a princess." Zabini never hesitates to praise.

"Thank you, Zabini," Sigrid thanked her. In fact, she was no longer angry when she received Zabini's apology letter. It should be said that she didn't mind.

She didn't want to mind what others thought of her, she was too tired.

"Why didn't Pansy come today?" Sigrid asked, looking around.

"Ahem." Draco and Zabini looked at each other, and Zabini said, "She really wants to come, but it's a pity that she is traveling in Germany and can't come back in time." In fact, Pansy was too embarrassed to see Sigrid and insisted. I won’t come to today’s banquet.

"Speaking of long-distance travel, have you read the Daily Prophet?" Draco suddenly said with great interest. "The poor guy from the Weasley family was so lucky that he actually won the Daily Prophet's year-end award, a total of 700 Galleons, I bet the Weasleys have never seen so much money in their lives."

Sigrid felt a little unhappy when she heard Draco's mean words, and she tried not to show it.

"I heard that Mr. Weasley seemed to say that they were going on a long trip to Egypt," Zabini continued.

Well, Sigrid seems to know why the Weasley family didn't come to today's birthday party.

She also knew the reason why Fred hadn't written back to her for several days - he just hadn't received it.

Her mood, which had been gloomy all day, suddenly seemed to brighten up a lot. Even Zabini, who had a romantic face, and Draco, who always looked at people through his nostrils, looked a lot cuter and more pleasing to the eye.

This grand birthday dinner finally came to a perfect conclusion, and Sigrid's third-year life at Hogwarts was about to begin.
