【Yo Deng】Badger and Snake

Reflexively flicking the broomstick, amid the exclamation of the three Chasers, he made a sharp turn at a ninety-degree angle upwards.The menacing Bludger flew past her broom tail, stopped for a moment, and came after her again.Yu didn't pause at all, and continued to sprint upwards according to her previous evasion experience, intending to use the trajectory change to drag the Bludger until Maki arrived, until Qihai Dengzi's shouts mixed with the sound of the wind poured into her ears. I realized that I forgot a very important thing.

"Koito-san!" Qihai Dengzi drove the broom unskillfully, chasing her from below, looking up at her with anxiety written all over her face.

"Senior," Yu said anxiously, "Don't come up! It will change its target!"

"But--"

Seeing that Qihai was about to enter the attack range of the Bludger, Yoo rushed down quickly, lowered his head and brushed the track of the black iron ball provocatively, and shouted in the wind: "It's okay! I will control the distance, you stay where you are!"

"I'm not talking about this, you—" Qihai seemed to be shouting something, but Yuu couldn't be distracted to listen, the Bludger entangled tightly as she expected, and slammed into the tail of the broom, The mediocre training broom unexpectedly got stuck in mid-air after a tremor, and couldn't be pushed anymore——

It's terrifying!

Koito Yu cursed secretly in his heart, holding a broom handle to hit the fuchsia upside down so as not to be brutally smashed in the head.Shuri, who took the bat, has already re-launched from the ground, and Maki will arrive soon, but it only takes a few seconds, but she can't hold on——

"Chained! Chains—" The Slytherin prefect cast several binding spells in a row, but none of them hit the Bludger.Seeing that the Bludger was getting closer and closer to the Seeker who had readjusted to a normal sitting position, she yelled, "Jump down, Koito-san, jump! Dampen the shock and stop the speed—"

Her shock-absorbing spell finally hit the target, successfully causing the Bludger to temporarily freeze thirty or forty centimeters in front of Yuu, but Yuu took a deep look at her and shook his head.

"Koito—Yu!" Qihai Dengzi shouted with a sore throat, thinking that she would never lose her composure any more in this life.

She will probably never see such a scene again in her life——

The Hufflepuff Seeker resolutely opened his arms, and firmly - caught the oncoming Bludger.The iron ball was rampaging in her arms, and Yu's painful murmur passed through her ears and the sound of the crazy wind came into her ears clearly, but the girl hugged the ball further and tried to press it on the broom.The black and yellow robe fluttering in the wind completely covered her petite back, but Nanami could imagine how her back arched in pain—the huge impact fixed her in place, and she lost her ability to speak.

"What are you doing—lisong jinx!" Seiji Maki, who finally arrived, yelled and shot the magic spell, and the Seeker's arms slipped off the iron ball, and he fell from the broom weakly, and was chased by the bottom On the arrival of the day, Zhu Li picked up the right one.Maki hit the Bludger to the ground with a stick, and the latter made a hole in the ground, struggled twice, and then stopped moving.

"Are you crazy?! Why are you so good at picking it up! Do you think you have a steel frame!" Zhu Li slowly landed with You in his arms, anxious and angry, "You jumped off the broom when it got stuck? You saw it all. I'm below! And why did you turn back to mess with it when you ran away in the first place! Do you really think your life is too long?!"

Seeing Yu's feeble sneer, she turned red-eyed to the batter who came too late: "And Seiji Maki, you bastard! You can't even see a Bludger, and you can let it fly from east to west Come on! What are you doing with the bat in your hand, huh?!"

Maki was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his head in the ground: "I——I didn't expect Pawar's full blow to be so powerful—let's talk about this later! Send her to the school hospital immediately!"

Nanami put down the broom in a little distance away.

Yu lay flat on the grass, Maki and Juri waved their wands and began to make a makeshift stretcher; the Slytherin twins surrounded the Seeker on the left and right, looking like they were about to cry; I don't know what I'm arguing about.

They didn't know why this calm Seeker made such a crazy move, but she knew.

Before reaching out to catch the Bludger, Yu looked at her without any impurities, full of concentration and seriousness, just like the first shocking face she had with this Seeker.

At that moment, the whistling wind stopped, the Bludger froze, and the other people rushing to here also faded out of sight; there were only the two of them left in the world, and she clearly received the warm pair in a trance. The message contained in the yellow eyes:

"Don't worry, I will control the distance."

That's right.Koito Yu was firmly restrained by the 15-meter shackle, and would turn back when she had already escaped, and refused to jump off the broom when she was in a hurry to let the distance open.

"Why are you so...?" She strode up to the stretcher made of golden light, and asked the person lying on it.

"Senior, you don't want to go back anymore." Yu broke into a cold sweat and smiled with difficulty, "I don't want to wronged Senior to waste time with me..."

"What are you talking about?" Maki frowned and looked back and forth at them, Qihai ignored him.

Koito Yu's arms covered under the robe were limply slumped on the stretcher, and obvious bloodstains could be seen on the handguards.

The twin sisters were crying and running after the stretcher, and the little boy who knew that he had accidentally caused a catastrophe staggered even more.

"..."

She stopped wordlessly, letting Maki and Shuri pass by directing the stretcher.

You stared blankly at her, and it took several seconds to understand her intentions, and said in disbelief, "Senior, you—"

She smiled at the girl, and stood on the pasture at five o'clock in the afternoon, letting the setting sun heat her head and shoulders.

——I don't think staying with you is a waste of time, Koito-san.

So... sorry.

Staring at the stretcher fading away, she said softly:

"See you in the bathroom."

———————————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————

I wrote some notes for friends who are not familiar with the HP series, hoping to help understand individual HP-specific settings and nouns:

①Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (and its college system):

Hogwarts is a prestigious wizarding school in the UK. Students enter school at the age of 11 and graduate after seven years of study.

Hogwarts divides students into four colleges: Gryffindor (Gryffindor), Slytherin (Slytherin), Ravenclaw (Ravenclaw) and Hufflepuff (Hufflepuff), respectively based on lions, snakes, eagles, The badger is the symbol of the college.The four colleges, named after their respective founders, select students according to the qualities their founders valued.Gryffindor values ​​the courage and courage of students; Slytherin values ​​blood, ambition and shrewdness; Ravenclaw values ​​personality and wisdom; tolerant Hufflepuff treats everyone equally, and most students are friendly and sincere.

Because only the house with the best performance can win the year-end house cup, there is more or less competition among the four houses, and among them, the conflict between Gryffindor and Slytherin is the most intense.

And because the most dark wizards came out of Slytherin, there is a big gap between this college and the other three colleges.

② Quidditch:

The most popular sport among wizards, played on broomsticks.

A Quidditch team consists of seven players, 3 Chasers, 2 Batters, 1 Seeker and 1 Keeper.Three types of balls are used in a game, 1 Quaffle, 2 Bludgers, and 1 Snitch.

Chasers score 10 points by throwing the Quaffle past the opposing team's knocker.The goalie guards the knockers and is responsible for intercepting the Quaffle thrown by the opposing team's Chasers.

The Bludger is an enchanted iron ball that will attack players on the field indiscriminately, so the two batsmen are responsible for protecting their own players from being knocked off the broom, and at the same time hitting the Bludger to the opponent's players to cause interference.

Seekers are responsible for finding the Snitch.This kind of ball is only the size of a walnut. During the game, it will fly at high speed in the arena. If you catch it, you will get 150 points and the game will end at the same time.

The Endless Valentine's Day (5)

The burning sensation of biting the nerves in the arm subsided without a trace, Koito Yu opened his eyes, and the familiar furnishings and faces jumped into his eyes.

In the girls' bathroom on the west side of the second floor of the castle, the Slytherin prefect looked at her with a half-smile: "...Welcome back, Koito-san."

You were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't laugh or cry: "Senior, you...you are really..."

"What's wrong with me?" Qihai raised her eyebrows, her expression as if she had just finished drinking a cup of good black tea.

"You... You told me not to make decisions without authorization, why am I still acting like this!"

Yoo was almost powerless to complain.Why on earth did she want to get hit by that Bludger?This woman doesn't appreciate it at all!She was lying on her back on the stretcher and had no strength to speak out. She watched the distance stretched 15 meters, and she was almost suffocated.

"Isn't it good?" Nanami shrugged, "This way we'll be even." Folding her arms, she followed up and said, "In the final analysis, who is the one who messed up? Koito-san, I really don't want to Come back, but that doesn't mean I'm happy to see you compete with an iron ball to see who's tougher."

Yu saw the helplessness on her face, and recalled the dark face that was eating people when the backtracking was triggered last time.The strong contrast made her smile, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

"I'm being modest, it's just a few broken bones. Madam Pomfrey's injury of this degree can only take a few seconds... Well, Madam Pomfrey is not here this week. It's just a night of lying down, what's the matter?" Relationship..." The girl turned her head away, she was still complaining non-stop, but there was a bit of twitching between the lines.

Qihai let out a long "oh", and teased: "Koito-san seems to enjoy the feeling of being in pain all night. Why bother, I can satisfy you, come--" She made a gesture while talking To grab the girl's arm.You hurriedly strode away, and rebuffed: "Forget about this! Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

Seeing Yu's face as if facing a big enemy, Nanami laughed out loud.The eyebrows and eyes that had been gloomy since the incident finally unfolded, outlining a soft and charming smile, which was a little lighter than the ones Yu had glimpsed from a distance in the past.

Seeing this scene, Yu also couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

"You can't go to class, and it's better to avoid the Quidditch instruction-then what should we do next? Do you have any ideas, senior?"

"Well," Qihai withdrew her smile and raised her chin. "In this case, it seems that I have no choice but to do nothing and just drag the 12-hour time limit." After thinking about it, she added with some regret: "Castle There is really nothing to do here, if today is Saturday, we can go to Hogsmeade village..."

"Hey, if senior wants to go to Hogsmeade Village, it's not impossible, right?"

Nanami looked at Yu in surprise.The latter's expression was very serious, not like joking.

"How do you go? Students can only leave school on weekends?"

"Normally, that's the case," Yu smiled slightly, "but the unconventional way...that's another matter."

※※※

After Nanami waited at the entrance of the Hufflepuff common room for 5 minutes, a small white wallet slowly floated out from the huge wooden barrel, followed by Yuu Koito holding up her wand.After she climbed out of the barrel, the lid of the barrel was closed with a bang, and two or three large wooden barrels rolled down from the stone trough above, completely covering the entrance to the basement.

Patting the robe, Yu caught Nanami's inquisitive eyes.She smiled and unzipped the wallet for the other party: "3DS game console, a gadget used by Muggles for entertainment."

"3...DS?" Repeated in doubt, Qihai leaned over to look at the contents of the wallet: a piece of white metal lay on the black lining, it felt cold and smooth to the touch, and there were some colorful black pieces scattered on it, and There are some pictures that don't move.

"Is this also available at Hogwarts?"

"No... Only purely mechanical devices like mechanical watches can not be affected by the Hogwarts magnetic field." Yu closed the wallet and stuffed the clip back into the interlayer of the robe lining, "so when I want to play, I can only Can wait until the weekend to take it to Hogsmeade, or..."

"or?"

"You'll know later." Yu led her out of the corner where the wine barrels were piled up, turned right into another corridor, and stopped in front of a huge fruit painting.

"Okay, senior, give me your hand."

Turning around, the girl stretched out her left hand towards her as if it was a matter of course.Qihai looked suspiciously at the too small hand, and asked, "What are you going to do? Although I haven't been in, this is the kitchen, right?"

"It's the kitchen," Yu grinned. "There is a secret passage leading to Hogsmeade village in the kitchen. Before I go in, I have to cast a disillusionment spell on us, otherwise the house-elves will throw us out."

"...I thought you, Koito-san, were a good student who obeyed the school rules." Nanami put her hand on Yu's and teased.

"I used to think that you, senior, are considerate and gentle." Yu replied.

"I'm very empathetic." Qihai watched as You tapped the back of her hand regularly with the tip of her stick, her concentrated expression tickled her heart slightly.

"Liar, obviously self-assessed to death."

Starting from the back of her hand, Nanami's body gradually disappeared into the air, becoming completely transparent.She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Yu grabbed it tightly instead: "Hold your hand, or I won't come back to find you if I get lost later."

"... Koito-san, I'm almost an adult." Nanami's voice floated from the air, with a trace of helplessness.

"I can't see it, what can I do!" As he said, he tapped his left arm with the tip of his wand, and after confirming that the disillusionment spell had worked, he put away his wand and scratched the pear on the portrait.The yellow pear was tickled by her, and the portrait unscrewed, revealing a short passage.Yoo carefully unscrewed the door at the end of the passage, and the portrait behind him had turned back to its original position, as if nothing had happened.

There is a golden light behind the door.Kerosene lamps and torches are all over the brick walls, and four simple long tables lie in the center of the kitchen. Countless food, raw materials, plates, knives and forks are moving in the air, and the house elves are busy shuttling among them, no one notices Two uninvited guests slipped in.

Yu led Qihai to carefully avoid the dishes flying in the air, walked to the other side of the long table, and stopped in front of the penultimate fireplace.Qihai couldn't see her, didn't know what she was going to do, only knew that after the strength in her hands paused for a while, she was brought straight into the burning fireplace.

"Koito-san?" She called out weakly, feeling that her hand was only a dozen centimeters away from the flames burning in the fireplace—this meant that most of the person holding her hand was already submerged in the fire .

She grabbed that hand and subconsciously pulled it back, but the other party stopped her movement forcefully and pinched her.

"..."

Qihai took several deep breaths, finally closed her eyes, followed that force and dived into the fire in one breath—the air suddenly became much more humid.

The girl's gentle voice sounded in her ears: "Okay, senior, it's all right."

She opened her eyes, and saw that the other party had lifted the illusion spell, and was hitting her invisible arm with the tip of the staff.

The silver and green hem of her Slytherin-trimmed robes emerged from the air, and she let out a long breath, finding herself in a dark passageway in the rock, with an infinite staircase at her feet.

"The candle is bright." Yu tapped the dim torch on the wall, and said a spell she had never heard.In an instant, the torches hanging on the rock wall lit up one after another, like two fire dragons, extending all the way down.

Qihai looked back at the entrance just now, and found that it was a stone wall covered by thin blue flames.

"That's just a blindfold," Yu explained, "We'll just pass through when we come back—of course, we need to cast the Illusion Charm first."

"How did you know about this passage?" Qihai followed Yu and began to walk down.

"It was told to me by a house-elf named Beamon, but you don't see him now, he retired last year. This road was built when the castle was first completed. It used to be one of the kitchen material transportation channels, and later Obsolete."

"I see. I heard that Hogwarts has many secret passages leading to the outside, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"It is said that there are eight or nine, but I only know this one."

At the end of the stairs, they walked onto a flat road two people wide.After walking on the flat road for a while, the upward ladder appeared.

"It's almost here. Let me take a look..." Yu groped for the stone wall on the left, and tapped on a raised rock: "Left and right are separated."

The rock cracked on both sides, revealing a circular hole, and two black robes were pulled out by the girl: "Here, the replacement robes—today is not a rest day, we can't wear Hogwarts school uniform robes Hang around outside."

"...Even this kind of thing is prepared, how many times have you violated the school rules?" Qihai took the robe while complaining, gestured, and found that the corner of the robe didn't even cover the calf.Yu obviously noticed this too, and pulled out another one from the round hole: "Oh, I took the wrong one. Senior, you can't wear the calendar, so here's Zhu Li's."

"..." It turned out to be a "gang crime"!

Qihai decided to throw the identity of the prefect into the round hole together with the changed robe, pretending that she didn't hear anything.

Hyuga Zhuri was 170cm tall, and although he didn't expose his ankles and calves like Ye Li's, they were dragged out on the ground.You let out an "ah" and squatted down very naturally: "Senior, don't move, I'll roll it for you."

She pressed the robe inward and cast a holding spell so that the hem would stick to itself and not fall off.

"Koito-san is very good at this kind of spells." Huang Chengcheng's candlelight dyed the girl's fluffy orange hair with a beautiful gradient, Qihai lowered her eyes, and once again clenched her fingertips that were ready to move.

"Because I'm too lazy," Yu laughed heartily, "Why use your hands to do things that can be done with a wave of a magic wand!"

"If you say that, Hufflepuff will cry. Aren't the students in your college famous for their loyalty and diligence?"

The two began to climb up.Yu's reply echoed in the aisle, soft and gentle.

"Why do students have to conform 100% to the college's template? If so, wouldn't there be only four types of people in Hogwarts? That would be too boring."

Qihai was absent-minded for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're right, I'm narrow-minded."

After climbing up for about 10 minutes, a stone wall covered with blue flames appeared before the two of them.Under Yu's encouraging eyes, Qihai took the first step hesitantly.The flame curtain licked her ankle, and an unknown gravitational force suddenly sucked her in. Qi Hai lost her balance and fell on some fluffy thing.

When she opened her eyes, she found that there was a rather large landscape carpet of Mt. Fuji in front of her, and her elbow just touched the part of the crater.The short wizard embroidered on it was yelling angrily, as if accusing her of crushing his picnic box, and Nanami hurriedly smoothed the fur of the carpet that she had crushed.Looking up, she saw a somewhat familiar woman crouching on the red leather sofa, holding a book, staring at her with wide eyes: "You...you are..."

The woman was wearing a homely kimono and had short, shoulder-length hair. She looked about 30 years old.Before she finished speaking, another person rolled out of the fireplace behind Qihai with a "plop".

"Oh," the woman put on a look of sudden realization, "So it's Yu's friend."

"Miss Kodama! Long time no see." Yu got up skillfully, pulled Nanami up together by the way, and introduced to the woman in kimono, "This is Nanami Toko, a sixth-year Slytherin senior."

"I'm Qihai Dengzi, please give me your advice." Qihai bent down cooperatively, remembering why she thought this woman looked familiar: she was the owner of the winery in Hogsmeade Village, Kodama.Unexpectedly, this passage leads to the inner room of the wine house.

"Hey, hello, hello. This is the first time I've seen friends other than Yu Dairi and Zhu Li go this way." Kodama blinked, "Would you like a drink? Today there is special sake for Valentine's Day! "

"You know I'm not of age, but you still use these things to seduce people," You pouted, "We want to go out for a stroll, next time."

The female shopkeeper smiled and waved her hand, and began to read the book again.Nanami followed Yu and lifted the heavy curtain, and entered the outer room of the Japanese wine house.

This Japanese wine house only opened in the year Nanami Mio graduated, and within a few years it became one of the most famous Japanese-born wizards in the UK.Whether it is a local Japanese shaman in the UK or a Japanese shaman visiting the UK, most of the time they will stop by here for a drink.

Today is Valentine's Day, and the store is full of cherry blossoms, and the petals of cherry blossoms in the shape of hearts are constantly falling from the sky. Unfortunately, the store is quite deserted, and only three people are seated.When passing by a table in the corner, Nanami heard the two middle-aged wizards discussing a new policy of the Japanese Ministry of Magic fiercely in Japanese; on the table at the door lay a curly-haired witch who kept pouring wine on her neck , singing off-key ballads while hiccupping.

After leaving the wine house, Qihai found that Hogsmeade village was still melting snow.There is a lot of snow and water left on the road and lawn, but the temperature is not too low because of the sunshine.There were quite a lot of people on the street, most of them were male and female wizards in pairs, and a couple hugged and kissed in the middle of the road, while a circle of people applauded and applauded.Yu looked away in embarrassment, this move aroused Nanami's playfulness: "Koito-san, are you feeling in love with the scene?"

"You're the one who feels the situation." Hearing the teasing in the other party's words, Yu replied angrily.

Qi Hai laughed and said, "I told you that I don't have anyone to date, what kind of scenes do I want to touch?"

"Did Senior think I have it?"

"Don't you have one?" Qihai deliberately teased her, and as expected, she received the girl's stare: "If I had, I wouldn't be caught by Dojima-kun today, begging me to pick up the chocolate you took away!"

"Yeah," Qihai dragged out the ending, "You didn't, and I didn't either. We share the same illness, um."

"Come on. Who doesn't know that the chocolates you collect every year can be piled up to one meter high, and I have not confiscated other people's chocolates except Li and Zhu Li's."

"Is that so?" Qihai stopped and pointed to the window on the right, "Then... If Koito-san doesn't mind, how about I be the third person? It's also a little apology for causing you to suffer. "

Yu looked along her fingers, and saw the shop that could smell the sweetness through the window: Honeydukes Candy Store.

※※※

Koito Yu waved his wand to clean a clean area on the grass.Sitting cross-legged, she impatiently pulled off the seal of the chocolate box in her hand, and lifted the carved box cover breathlessly.Qihai, who was sitting next to her, saw the light in her eyes without concealing it, and thought that this girl was straightforward and cute.

"Senior," Yu stretched out his hand and retracted it, "You...you really don't want to eat?"

Are you looking at me to eat?You are looking forward to the look in my eyes that say no to eating!

Although Qihai complained violently in her heart, she still shook her head calmly on the surface: "I don't like chocolate."

You had already stuffed one into his mouth at this time, and looked at her in surprise when he heard the words: "Is it... for Sen?"

"You also said that I receive a lot of chocolates every year. In the past, I would break off a bit of each to taste, thinking that after all, it was someone's wish. Until one time," Qi Hai trembled, "I, I ate...the one with the love potion..."

"This, this is really..." Yu patted her shoulder sympathetically, "No wonder you want to accept Dojima-kun..."

A love potion is a type of love potion whose function is to make the user madly infatuated with a specific person.Qihai covered her face, and let out a barely audible "woo", probably thinking of the unbearable past.

"Uh... let's not talk about this anymore!" Yu clapped her hands, and took out her white wallet from her robe, "Senior, aren't you curious about this, do you want to play with it?"

Qihai's attention was attracted: "What is this called, 3D...3DS?"

"Yeah, it's running normally here." Saying that, Yu turned on the game console, "Hmm...I've been playing this game recently, 'Lattice Monster W', it's super fun! Xiao Lian brought it to me for Christmas. A gift, but I played a little slowly, and only reached the third gym..."

"Wait, speak slowly." Qihai was dazzled by a bunch of terms she had never heard before.

You explained patiently, and told her how to operate, and Qihai quickly got started, before turning around and eating two sandwich chocolates, she had already begun to concentrate on studying the monster's moves.

"How about this one? Can it work?" She asked nervously.You leaned over to take a look: "Thunder Lizard... the characteristics are good, but the personality is average, but it is enough for customs clearance."

The girl leaned a little closer, and the hair on the side of her ears softly wiped Qihai's face.Suddenly there is a hint of peach aroma in the air, revealing an attractive sweetness.

"Senior? Are you listening?"

"Yes, yes," Qi Hai came back to her senses, "Then what kind of personality is better?"

Yoo is not that familiar with this game, and after counting for a long time, he is not sure.Qi Hai, who couldn't wait for the answer for a long time, had already started to call up the trainers along the way. Seeing this senior startled like a child, he smiled and said, "Senior, what do you usually do for entertainment? Wizards also have A kind of sandbox rendition of something like that, play those?"

"Me? I'm a rather boring person, and I don't have much entertainment—if I have to say it, I like to practice uncommon spells, and some of the effects are very interesting. I don't have much time to think about these, otherwise I wouldn't have to spend my time desperately It's a converter." Qihai stared at the screen, the curve of the corner of her mouth was very beautiful and decent, but Yu felt a little lonely.

"Senior," she asked softly again the question that hadn't been answered in the bathroom before, "what on earth...why are you working so hard?"

Qihai stopped moving.

She cast her eyes into the distance and sighed slightly: "I have a very unrealistic goal, and in order to achieve it, I have to do this."

Yu twisted his fingers tangledly, after thinking and thinking, he finally asked, "Is there anything I can do to help Senior?"

"You?" Nanami smiled softly, "You don't have to do anything, Koito-san. The mere existence of people like you is already the greatest encouragement to me."

"...? What do you mean?" Yu tilted his head in doubt, but Qihai stopped explaining further.

Seeing that she was playing the game vigorously, Yu didn't bother her anymore. He spread his robe and lay down on his back, feeling the breeze while slowly eating chocolate.

After a while, Qihai got stuck.She turned around to ask for help, only to see that the girl had fallen asleep next to her, and a piece of chocolate that she didn't have time to eat rolled down from her palm.

Nanami put down the 3DS, removed the girl's hand on her chest, picked up the chocolate, and put it in her mouth.

so sweet.Qihai grinned, whispered a cleaning spell, and removed the leftover chocolate from her and the girl's hands.

It's sweet, but the taste is ok.

Maybe she was dizzy from being sweet, or maybe she was dizzy from the sun, but she stretched out her hand accidentally and touched the girl's hair carefully.

Yoo's orange hair was warmed by the sun, and it was soft and refreshing, so comfortable that Qi Hai squinted her eyes, and felt a little more relaxed for no reason.She didn't quite understand where this change came from, and maybe it was normal—anyone would miss the warm afternoon sun after spending too much time in a cold and damp dungeon.

Yes, it must be so.she thinks.I've just been stuck in a Slytherin dungeon for too long, that's all.

……

※※※

When Koito woke up the next day, the sun was already high outside the window.Covering her eyes, she was dizzy for a long time, and she poked her head in a daze to look at the watch on the small square table beside her.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, she was so frightened that she woke up instantly - a big living person was sitting on the armchair by the window with his legs folded, holding her novel and reading.

"Oh." Sensing Yu's gaze, the man put down the book, showing a beautiful face, "You're awake, Koito-san."

"Seven, seven..."

Yoo was dumbfounded for a long time, and the memories of yesterday came back to her head: she bumped into Nanami who used the time-turner; the two were tied up at a distance of 15 meters; after many failures, they simply ran to Hogsmeade village; I fell asleep on the grass; I woke up and had something to eat at the wine shop;Qihai admitted that it would be dangerous to take her back to the Slytherin common room, so she took Qihai back to Hufflepuff's basement...

"Why do you look like a ghost? Is it possible that you have completely forgotten what happened yesterday?" Nanami Dengzi was a little displeased, "I don't accept this kind of excuse, classmate Koito. I have forgotten all the things since then, and you have to be responsible to me to the end."

"No, I—huh?"

Koito Yu just felt a little more awake, and was stunned by Nanami's last words.She stammered and repeated: "You...what are you talking about, responsible...responsible?"

"Yes, be responsible—look," Qihai threw the book aside, leaned over, and stared at her seriously, "Although it was an accident that you caught me using the converter, if you don't follow me first, you won't This kind of thing happens, doesn't it?"

"..." Yu was speechless.

"So you are also responsible for sharing part of the loss and impact this incident has caused me. After confirming that we no longer need to keep a distance of 15 meters in the morning, I thought about it for hours," Nanami pulled out a card like a magic trick Parchment, "Other things are arranged, there is only one problem: my Herbology class and Potions class completely conflict. You have to take responsibility and help me deal with this situation."

"But," Yu worried, "how can I...?"

Seven Seas smiled slyly.

"Come here, Koito-san," she hooked her finger at the girl on the bed, "I'll tell you."

The Badger and the Snake·Chapter1·End

PS The time point of this fanfic is in the HP world in 2014, which is 16 years after the last battle of the original novel

Inter-chapter July 2st

As if the heat of the fire swept across the face, every cell seemed to be surging and deforming.Koito Yu's rationality told herself not to look up in the mirror, but her curiosity was stronger than ever, driving her to try to find the focus in the blurred field of vision.

In the mirror, a face belonging to Qihai Dengzi looked back at her, the black hair draped over her shoulders shortened rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hair color began to fade back to its original orange color from the ends.After the hair returned to its original shape, the facial features in the mirror also began to change.

All this lasted only a few seconds, but the person in the mirror had completely changed his appearance.

Koito Yuu took off the oversized Slytherin robe, turned on the faucet and scooped water to slap his face, trying to cover the hot aftertaste with ice cold.
