[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

October will be over soon, and Christo still hasn't found any information related to that person, so she simply gave up.She found something interesting in the first quarter.While learning the ancient runes by herself, she flipped through the obscure ancient books and added the annotations of famous predecessors. She read them with gusto and didn't go anywhere.

Several times Hermione asked her to come and watch Harry practice, but she refused.

On the eve of Halloween, Hermione returned to the dormitory in the middle of the night, and found that Christo was huddled alone on the small sofa in the corner of the empty common room, flipping through books intently. "I've never seen you be so passionate about books!" It was raining outside, and she felt cold, so she warmed up in the fireplace.

"Hey, Christo, are you going to the Headless Nick's Deathday Party tomorrow?"

Chris didn't raise her head: "Isn't it Halloween tomorrow?"

Hermione only felt that her hands were warm, so she walked up to her and sat down: "I thought you had gone mad and ignored the world." She picked up a book and opened it casually, "It's very rare, five hundred Year-old's death anniversary party, to go or not to go?"

Christine smiled: "Don't count me in, I don't want to be asked why I was resurrected on Halloween, I haven't figured it out yet..."

"Kerry—" Hermione screamed suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Kristo rubbed her eardrums.Hermione was flipping through her books one after another quickly, and even the one she was holding was snatched away.

"You—how dare you—" Hermione seemed to be terrified, her hand holding the book was trembling.

Christo hurriedly sat upright: "What's wrong?"

"Dark magic! Professor Lockhart allowed it! You didn't tell me! You're secretly learning this!"

"What? Hermione, you really surprised me." Chris took a sigh of relief and snatched the book back from her hand. "I just read the ancient documents, and there was a mention in the book. Just take a look by the way, here—" She took out one of the books and turned to the table of contents, "The origin of magic...the original form of spells...lexical analysis...grammatical analysis...Oh, big sister Granger, don't read any more Stare at me, can you? Gilderoy will check for me, and how can you learn Defense Against the Dark Arts well if you don't know the dark arts..." Chris stuck out her tongue, she didn't mean to deceive Hermione, Jed Luo was only responsible for signing the bill, not what she saw.She was afraid that Hermione would tell Professor McGonagall that she would not be able to bring the book back in the future.

Hermione's expression softened when she heard Professor Lockhart's name.She still kept a straight face: "Don't put the book on the bright side so carelessly, if someone else saw it today..."

Christo smiled confidently: "Except for Hermione, who else can understand this, Ron thought I was reading a celebrity's biography before!"

Hermione rolled her eyes wordlessly.

It wasn't until the next day that Christo found out that Harry and Ron were going to the Deathday Party. Lockhart was very interested and followed to collect information.The rain outside the window was heavier than yesterday, but there was a lot of laughter in the hall.The ceiling of the auditorium was decorated with live bats, and Hagrid's huge pumpkins were carved into lanterns. The soft lights shone brightly on the youthful faces.

At seven o'clock, Christo arrived in the hall alone, and a group of Gryffindor students were discussing chattering around in front of the jack-o-lantern.

"Ginny, what do you think?"

A weak voice said listlessly: "It must be the expansion spell."

Just as Christo was about to walk past them, Colin in the crowd grabbed his sleeves: "Senior sister, they insisted that this pumpkin was grown! But I think Ginny is right!"

Christine thought for a while, and it turned out that it was Ginny who spoke just now. She glanced at Pumpkin and said approvingly, "Ginny is right!" Her eyes fell on Ginny, and she was surprised to find that Ginny's condition was even worse than what she saw at the beginning of the month. Something flashed through her mind, and before she could grasp it, Ginny stood up tremblingly.

"I'm not feeling well, I'm going back first." She staggered away.

The girl in the dormitory with her said worriedly: "There are good times and bad times, Madam Pomfrey doesn't know what's going on."

Christo made up her mind to have a good talk with Ron after the party. My sister is like this now, but my brother doesn't seem to be aware of it.Just as she was thinking, a hand stretched out to rub her face.

"Okay, Harry and the others are not here, little Kelly, go with my sister." Angelina shouted triumphantly, she grabbed Christo's wrist and walked into the Quidditch team, Wood and the others were following They beckon.

"It's been so long since school started, we've practiced several times, you're lucky, you didn't even take a look at it." Angelina scolded, "Wait and see who can help you." The hall was full of people, they It was not easy to move over.

"Happy Halloween! Little Kerry!" The Weasley twins were the first to greet them, holding a small jack-o-lantern in their hands.

"Stolen from Hagrid's pumpkin patch, counter-curse." They blinked and passed the pumpkin forward.

Christo didn't doubt that he was there, and took it with both hands. Before she could look carefully, the flames in the pumpkin shot up high, and a small snake crawled out of the thick smoke.Kristina was so frightened that she threw the thing into Angelina's arms with trembling hands.

As one can imagine, the Weasley twins ended up very tragically, and Angelina slapped them half to death.They repeatedly assured that it was just a little magic, and the pumpkin itself was fine, so Christo reluctantly accepted the little lamp.

The Halloween party was very interesting, and the members of the Quidditch team took great care of Christo.The happy time always flies very fast, and the party will be over in a blink of an eye.The boys were still in high spirits, packing a bunch of things and preparing to go to the common room to continue the carnival.Christo thought about the books she hadn't finished, so she only brought some special Halloween snacks for Harry and the others, and went back with Angelina.

Angelina asked her if she had time on the weekend, so they could fly around the Forbidden Forest together.Just as Christo was about to answer, she almost bumped into the person in front of her. "Why did you stop?" She and Angelina came out with the crowd. At this moment, everyone stopped talking. She was small and couldn't see what was going on in front of her, so she could only ask Angelina in a low voice.

Angelina grasped her hand tightly, and said in a low voice, "It's Filch's cat...it looks like it's petrified, with its tail hanging upside down on the bracket..." She paused, her tone revealing surprise, "Harry, the little Weasleys, and Miss Granger, where are they, my God, could it be—"

"It shouldn't be—" Christo said in confusion, "Although Mrs. Norris is really annoying, but I gave Harry the potion, and even cats don't like the smell. Mrs. Norris seems You never bothered them, did you?"

In the silence, someone suddenly spoke loudly.

"Those who are enemies of the successor, be vigilant! The next one is you, Mudblood!"

Someone in the crowd seemed to be unable to stand up.Christo could understand that it was Malfoy. She remembered that Malfoy's artillery fire was always directed at Harry and Ron before, but this time it came directly at Hermione.

"Malfoy is too much!" Angelina said angrily.

"Who is the successor he said?"

"Oh, I forgot, little Kelly can't see—" Angelina paused, "There is a bright red paint on the wall, which says——The chamber of secrets is open, those who are enemies of the heir, be careful!"

Christo became more confused, what is the chamber of secrets?

Just then Filch appeared, screaming, and Crystal could almost imagine the look of horror on his bony face. "My cat! My cat! My Mrs. Norris—it's you! It must be you! Potter! You killed my cat! I'm going to—"

"Filch!" Dumbledore, who had just arrived, interrupted him. Christo guessed that there must be many professors behind him. Soon, her guess was confirmed, and Dumbledore took Filch and Harry and the others, followed by a group of professors, walked through the crowd towards Lockhart's office.

The crowd resumed their twittering, and the students who had lingering fears quickly walked across the aisle towards the dormitories, and some bold students surrounded them.Christo was also one of them. Angelina couldn't go there without saying anything, and stood at the corner waiting for her.

Lady Norris' body was taken away.When Christo walked over, she splashed a foot of water, and the smell of blood came to her face. It seemed that the handwriting had just been painted on.She summoned a vial with the Flying Charm, and collected half of the vial with the spell.Angelina ran over in shock and grabbed her: "Christopher, what are you doing?"

Christo stuffed the bottle into his robe: "I was just a little surprised that it turned out to be real blood."

Angelina's face was a little pale, and she seemed to smell blood, and she vomited slightly: "Let's go, I always feel that this place is a bit gloomy."

Crystal waited in the common room until 12:30, when Harry, Ron, and Hermione came back.They were startled when they saw Christo sitting alone in the empty lounge.When they saw the snacks piled up on the small table, they didn't care about anything else, they just opened them and ate them.

"Christopher, you're so wise! You know what those ghosts are eating at Deathday parties! Moldy fish, sprouting raw potatoes, I bet the pumpkin juice they serve has been put out 100 years!" Ron's mouth was stuffed, and he lisp.

Christophe waved her wand, and summoned all the snacks from her dormitory, which made Harry and the others slump on the chair and gasp for breath.Only then did Christo ask: "I want to know what happened after you came back from the Deathday Party tonight?"
