Hogwarts Lion Girl

In the evening, Salina changed into a light blue dress. The soft silk fabric set off her fair skin, and the hem of the dress swayed gently with her steps, like ripples in the moonlight. This was her favorite dress, and the neckline of the dress was embroidered with delicate silver patterns, which complemented the snowflake brooch she wore today.

When she arrived at the door of the common room, she saw Cedric standing there waiting. He was wearing a black robe with delicate patterns embroidered with silver thread on the collar and cuffs, which further highlighted his tall figure. His deep gray-blue eyes shone gently in the dim light, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like the brightest star in the night sky.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Salina walked up to Cedric and said apologetically.

Cedric looked at Salina tenderly, chuckled and shook his head, saying, "No, I just arrived not long ago." He paused, his eyes fell on Salina, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he sincerely praised, "You are so beautiful today."

Salina's cheeks flushed slightly. She gently lifted the hair by her ears and said softly, "Thank you."

"It's an honor to wait for the beautiful lady, let's go." Cedric said with a smile.

Cedric extended his hand to Salina like a gentleman. His palm was broad and warm, with a reassuring strength.

Salina gently placed her hand on his palm, feeling the warmth of his palm with her fingertips, her heartbeat quickened. She raised her head, met Cedric's gentle gaze, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Serena took Cedric's arm and followed his pace with a smile.

Cedric's helper was a house elf with big round eyes, who led them through the secret corridors to avoid the patrolling Filch and ghosts. A cold breeze blew, and Salina smelled the faint scent of grass in the air, and the lights of Hogsmeade village outside the castle gradually came into view.

Along the way, Cedric and Salina walked side by side. Salina occasionally turned her head and her eyes met Cedric's angular profile; Cedric lowered his head to look at Salina from time to time, and the two smiled at each other from time to time. The atmosphere was sweet and warm.

The warm lights of the Three Broomsticks pub sprinkled on the cobblestone streets, mixed with the sweet aroma of butterbeer, adding a touch of haziness to Hogsmeade at night.

Sharina and Cedric walked hand in hand among the bustling crowd, enjoying the rare relaxation and sweetness.

"Where do you want to go first?" Cedric asked with his head down, his gray-blue eyes reflected the lights on the roadside, looking particularly gentle.

"Hmm..." Serena looked around, her eyes finally landing on a shop full of colorful candies, "Honeydukes?"

Cedric chuckled, "I knew you would choose this place. Let's go."

Honeydukes Candy Store was packed with Hogwarts students. The air was filled with all kinds of sweet aromas, making people feel like they were in a sea of ​​candy.

Salina's eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly pulled Cedric's arm and walked between the dazzling shelves.

The two of them enthusiastically picked out candies of various flavors, from chocolate frogs to fizzing bees, from pumpkin pies to exploding popping candies, and before they knew it, the basket was already full.

"Did we buy too much?" Salina looked at the basket in Cedric's hand that was about to overflow, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Not much, not much at all." Cedric smiled and shook his head, "These are all prepared for you."

Salina whispered, "Actually, you don't have to..."

"Shh..." Cedric gently placed a finger on Salina's lips and interrupted her, "It's my honor to do this for the one I love."

Salina stared at Cedric blankly. His deep gray-blue eyes seemed to contain the sea of ​​stars, making her unconsciously indulge in them.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door of the store, and the crowd burst into exclamations. A sharp voice shouted: "It's the werewolf Fenrir Greyback! Why is he in a place like this?"

Cedric's heart tightened, and he pushed open the door of Honeydukes and rushed out. A cold wind mixed with the aroma of butterbeer blew in his face, and he saw the tall figure of the werewolf Fenrir Greyback at a glance. He was waving his claws and pinning a frightened little wizard to the ground.

Cedric rushed forward, his wand swiping an arc through the air, and muttered: "Acid splash!" A green light hit Greyback's back.

Greyback let out a roar of pain, but quickly turned back around, staring at Cedric with his scarlet eyes.

Cedric pulled up the little wizard who was lying limp on the ground in fear, protected him behind him, and confronted Greyback vigilantly.

Graybeck's cold eyes shifted from the trembling little wizard to Cedric, and a low growl came from his throat, as if a beast was warning an intruder. Cedric met his gaze without flinching, and held his wand tighter.

"Go back to your gutter, monster!" Cedric shouted, but the curse had no effect on Greyback and instead aroused his desire to attack even more.

Greyback pounced on Cedric, his sharp claws gleaming coldly in the dim light.

Cedric dodged swiftly and flicked his wand, sending a beam of red light hitting Greyback's chest. However, Greyback merely stumbled a few steps and rushed forward again, roaring.

"Damn it! This monster is even more powerful than I thought!" Cedric cursed inwardly. He knew that he had underestimated the werewolf's violence on a full moon night. He kept dodging Greyback's attacks and waving his wand to cast spells, but none of them could cause any substantial damage to Greyback.

During the fight, Greyback's sharp claws grabbed his arm fiercely, and the severe pain made him groan and stagger back.

"Cedric!" Salina pushed through the crowd with all her strength. Seeing Cedric injured, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and her breathing became rapid. She rushed to Cedric desperately and supported his shaky body.

"Are you okay?" Salina's voice trembled a little. She looked at the deep wound on Cedric's arm, tears welled up in her eyes.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury..." Cedric endured the pain and wanted to comfort Salina, but found that he no longer had the strength to continue.

"Stop talking, I'll deal with him!" Salina helped Cedric to lean against the wall, then turned around and stared at Greyback with cold eyes.

"You should pay for this!" Salina's voice was icy cold without a trace of warmth. She slowly raised her wand, and a powerful wave of magic emanated from her. The air around her seemed to solidify.
