HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts
Chapter 21: Defense of Cygnus
After Christmas, the students returned to Hogwarts.
Hermione sat on the sofa in the Gryffindor common room, concentrating on the book in her hands.
The fireplace beside her crackled with a merry fire.
At this time, Ron Weasley walked into the lounge and saw Hermione alone, so he spoke in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, Granger, you're still here? I thought you were going to move into Slytherin Senseus Malfoy's dorm! You're just that snake's henchman."
Hermione looked up from her book and glanced at Ron with a mocking look. She closed the book gently and spoke sarcastically.
"Oh, Mr. Weasley, if you insist on making these unpleasant remarks, I don't mind having a pleasant academic exchange with you."
Ron swallowed and subconsciously moved away from Hermione. He said nervously, "Fighting is not allowed in school, Granger."
Hermione smiled sarcastically when she heard this, then leaned forward slightly, stared at Ron and said, "You should be thankful that the school rules protect you, otherwise I guarantee that you will definitely regret saying what you just said."
At this time, the other students in the lounge were attracted by the quarrel between the two and gathered to watch the show that was about to begin.
Ron's face turned red and white. He knew he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't want to lose face in front of everyone.
Just then, the door to the common room was suddenly pushed open, and Neville Longbottom hopped in, his feet obviously under some kind of spell.
Seeing this, Hermione frowned and asked with concern: "Neville, what's going on? Who cast a curse on you?" Before she finished speaking, she waved her wand and cast a spell to break the curse.
Neville rubbed his ankle and sighed, "Malfoy did it."
Ron seemed to have caught something wrong. He suddenly jumped up and raised his voice a few notches. "See, the true face of Sensei Malfoy has been revealed. He treats you well on the surface, but bullies Neville behind your back."
Neville turned to Ron in confusion, "Ron, Cygnus is a good man, and it was Draco Malfoy who cast the spell on me."
His tone revealed his protection for Segnus.
"Signus? When did you and Malfoy become so familiar with each other that you even called each other by their Christian names?" Ron looked very shocked.
"Cygnus is really gentle, Ron, and you are too hostile to her. She is completely different from Draco Malfoy." Neville tried to defend Cygnus.
Ron covered his ears and whispered dissatisfiedly: "I think you are all deceived by her gentle appearance. Only I, Ron Weasley, can see through her insidiousness."
At this time, Harry Potter came out of the room and asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
Hermione just glanced at him indifferently and immersed herself in the sea of books again. Ron seemed to have found an ally and hurriedly told Harry: "Neville actually called Malfoy by his Christian name. Obviously, he was also influenced by Malfoy."
Harry had a different opinion. He turned to Ron and said, "I always thought Secona was a very good girl. She really wasn't like your average Slytherin."
Ron looked at Harry in horror, as if the world was ending. "It's over. You've been poisoned by Malfoy too. I'm the only one who understands this world."
Harry responded disapprovingly: "Segnas is really gentle, even her words are soft-spoken. You are prejudiced against Malfoy, so you are also prejudiced against Segnus."
"No, one day I will let you see the true face of Cygnus. My intuition tells me that she is not as pure as you think."
Ron was stubborn and ignored Cygnus's kindness.
"Ron! Sensei has helped me twice!" Neville's tone was firm, his eyes flashing with trust in Sensei.
"The first time was when I just started school. I couldn't find Leif on the train. She helped me find it. The second time, I dropped my broom during flying class. She cast a spell in time to save me."
After hearing this, Hermione raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, looked at Ron and said, "It seems that Mr. Weasley, your intuition is not always accurate."
Just then, Cygnus walked to the entrance of the Gryffindor common room, her eyes clear and a gentle smile on her lips.
She walked straight to Neville and said sincerely, "Neville, I'm here to apologize to you for what Draco did to you before."
Neville waved his hands quickly, his face flushed, "Signus, Draco and I were just joking, don't take it so seriously."
Cygnus smiled slightly, looking at everyone present, "If a person does something wrong, he must pay for his mistakes. Neville, this is for you."
As she spoke, she handed Neville a small silver bell.
"This is a double-eared bell. I can hear you if you ring it when you are in danger," explained Segnus.
At this moment, Harry saw Cygnus and his eyes lit up.
"Good evening, Cygnus."
Cygnus nodded to Harry and said to Hermione, "Hermione, remember our appointment tomorrow afternoon."
Then she said she had something else to do and left first.
In the common room, everyone fell silent.
No one noticed the depth in Segnus' eyes when she turned and left.
She returned to the Slytherin common room, where Pansy, Daphne and Isabella were sitting together, chatting excitedly about Cedric Diggory, the Hufflepuff school idol.
"Hey, Cygnus, you're back!" Pansy was the first to notice her and said jokingly, "We thought you would stay in Gryffindor for one night."
Cygnus smiled and sat between them, "How is that possible? I just went to see Neville for something."
Isabella asked curiously, "By the way, what did you talk about in Gryffindor?"
"What else is there to do? It's just studying," Siegnas answered nonchalantly.
Daphne frowned, "I just don't understand why you are always so close to the Gryffindors. They are not as outstanding as us Slytherins."
"Maybe it's because they are passionate, brave and upright." Segnus said softly, his eyes seemed to be recalling something.
At this moment, Isabella suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Oh, we were just talking about Cedric Diggory! Do you think he is really handsome?"
Pansy and Daphne both smiled like crazy, and even Cygnus couldn't help but smile, "Well, he is indeed very handsome, and a nice person."
Pansy's eyes sparkled and she clapped her hands excitedly. "That's right, Cedric is not only handsome, but also a genius. I heard that even Professor Snape was impressed by his achievements in potions."
Daphne nodded in agreement, "Yes, and he's very friendly. Last time I saw him helping first-year students in the hallway."
Isabella giggled, "Then shouldn't we Slytherins show him our charms as well?"
Segnus smiled slightly and teased, "Are you going to launch an offensive of beauty and wisdom?"
The three of them smiled at each other, and Pansy said confidently: "Of course, our Slytherin beauties will not lose to anyone."
Just as the four girls were discussing heatedly, Draco walked in from outside with Blaise and Theodore.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Cygnus' words. Draco's heart tightened, thinking that Cygnus liked Cedric.
As Segnus's younger brother, he was well aware of his sister's excellence and was secretly nervous.
Blaise looked at Draco's nervous expression, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "How could the Malfoy family's little rose be picked by others? Don't worry, unless it's me."
After saying this, he showed a confident smile.
Theot approached Segnus calmly, his eyes revealing his concern for her.
He said gently, "Signus, do you really like Diggory?"
Seeing how nervous his brother and his friends were, Segnus couldn't help but laugh, "You misunderstood. I just think Cedric is a nice guy. I don't mean to like him."
Hearing this, Draco breathed a sigh of relief, Blaise also laughed, and Theodore silently felt relieved.
Everyone was relieved by Segnus' words, but Blaise suddenly had other ideas.
He smiled slyly, then took a step forward, put his arm around Seignus' waist, and said coquettishly, "Oh, so that's the case. I'm relieved then. After all, I still plan to pursue you, Seignus."
Senus was stunned. She didn't expect Bryce to be so direct. She blushed slightly and pushed Bryce away.
"Don't be ridiculous, Blaise, we are good friends."
When Bryce was pushed away by her, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, but soon he smiled again, covering up his true feelings.
Everyone thought it was just a joke, but Blaise himself knew that his feelings for Segnus were more than just friendship.
He hid this secret deep in his heart and did not tell anyone.
Draco frowned when he saw this, he didn't like seeing someone treat his sister like this, even if they were their friend.
Just as everyone was immersed in a relaxed atmosphere, no one noticed that Theodore's expression changed.
He stood aside with a polite smile on his face, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Theodore has always secretly liked Cygnus, and Blaise's words undoubtedly touched a sensitive nerve in his heart.
