HP meets at Hogwarts

Time moves forward at its own pace, and no one can stop the pace of time. Hogwarts gradually came out of the cold and became warmer and warmer.Spring has begun, the lake has thawed, many trees have sprouted, and the time for setting up a lazy bed is getting less and less. Another very important reason that prompted Ann to do this is that the final exam is coming.

Ann spent less and less time going to the greenhouse. In the end, she no longer went to the greenhouse unless necessary. There were more and more people doing homework and discussing studies in the Slytherin common room, and the desk and chair area in the library was also crowded. people.As the final exam approached, all the students seemed to have a string tightened in their hearts.

The exam week finally came on a sweltering day in May. The exam classrooms in the castle were even hotter than outside. The teachers gave students quills specially used for exams, and spells to prevent cheating were cast on them.

In addition to written exams such as Herbalism, Astronomy, and History of Magic, there are also practical exams.For example, in Professor Flitwick's charm test, he asked students to walk into the classroom one by one to see if they could use the Levitation Charm to make a pineapple tap dance across a desk.Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration exam asked them to turn a mouse into a snuffbox, and the finer the box, the higher the score.For the Potions exam, Professor Snape asked them to make a potion of forgetting from memory.

An, who had been worrying about Transfiguration class, did well in the exam. She successfully transformed the mouse into the shape of a snuff box without leaving the mouse's tail, beard or anything. Less thanks to the real snuffbox experience, half thanks to Aaron's guidance over the Christmas holidays, a little bit due to Fanny's pre-exam guidance, and a little bit thanks to Hermione's notes .

The last test was the history of magic. For Ann, who had a photographic memory, this was nothing but a trivial matter.After finishing the last exam, Ann sneaked into the kitchen and stole a tub of ice cream, some egg tarts, filled two glass bottles of iced apple juice, put them in her schoolbag, and ran away To the tallest astronomy tower in Hogwarts Castle.

When Ann was bored watching the rising and setting of the sun, she found that some parts of Hogwarts were not exposed to the sun all afternoon because they were blocked by taller towers, which was an excellent summer escape for the sweltering castle. place.

Of course, the Slytherin common room was also very cool, but there were too many people there, and there was no summer wind. When Ann climbed up the Astronomy Tower, Fanny had already been waiting there for a while.

Ann closed the wooden door of the Astronomy Tower with a backhand, cast a fixing spell, and quickly took out the ice cream bucket and sent it to Fanny's arms. She reached into her schoolbag for a while and took out a folded square. Ge Bu, shaking and laying on the floor.

Put some paper-wrapped egg tarts and two bottles of iced apple juice in the center of the checkered cloth. Ann lay directly on the checkered cloth with her hands behind her head, looking at the blue sky over Hogwarts Castle. There is no cloud in the sky, and the tall tower not far away blocks all the sunlight for the empty astronomical tower.

"That's great!" Ann said while lying down and looking at the sky.

Fanny also sat down on the checkered cloth. She didn't lie down like Ann, but she was obviously satisfied with the current state. She was holding the small wooden bucket and eating the ice cream with a spoon.

When An Xing hurriedly dragged her up to the Astronomy Tower after the transfiguration exam the day before yesterday, she was still nervous, but at that time An took out a piece of checkered cloth from her schoolbag and laid it on the floor, and pulled herself to lie down and watch. I watched the sky for a while, and then said that it would be great if there was food.

So Fanny was called up by Ann for the second time today, and she had food again. Fanny was not surprised at all. On the contrary, she also liked this place very much. It was windy and shaded. So stuffy.

The wind in early summer always smells of plants, maybe trees, grass, or flowers. Because there is a large lake in front of Hogwarts, it is often windy near the castle, and there is a trace of water vapor in the wind, which makes The wind at the observatory was surprisingly cool.

Ann lay down for a while, then sat up, picked up a glass of iced apple juice, gulped it down, and then looked at the ice cream bucket in Fanny's hand, and Fanny looked at An's bright eyes with some amusement , sent the ice cream bucket over, and joked, "Ann, I've always wanted to say that you treat food like an insatiable little mouse!"

Ann took the barrel, took out another spoon from her schoolbag, took a big mouthful of ice cream, pouting, "I think it's good to be such a little mouse."

Fanny picked up a bottle of apple juice and an egg tart and walked to the edge of the Astronomy Tower, where the mountains, the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid's hut could be seen in the distance.

After a while, Ann also stood beside Fanny, hugging the ice cream bucket. She also placed a wooden box under her feet from the corner of the Astronomy Tower where sundries were piled up. "The scenery is beautiful!"

Fanny also nodded, but only her eyes showed the walls of the Astronomy Tower. "I think you also need a box. The whole head can be exposed to the wind! It's super comfortable!" Ann stood on the box and looked down at Fanny.

After Fanny finished her cider, she also pushed a box and stood on it.

The entire side of Hogwarts was seen by them, the distant mountains, the sparkling lake, the dense forest, the cabin next to the Forbidden Forest, the hillside passing through the cabin, the lawn, and the three black dots. people.

Fanny tugged at La Ann's sleeve, "Ann, look! There are people walking towards the cabin! There are three of them."

Ann raised his head from the ice cream bucket and looked at the stone road leading to the cabin. Sure enough, there were three people running towards Hagrid's cabin.Huh?How did those three people know each other so well?

"Three of them?"

Ann spoke up.

"They? Ann, you mean those three friends of yours from Gryffindor? What are they doing there? Anything to do with the dragon?"

"Fanny, I explained the matter of the dragon to you last time, and they have all been let go. I don't know what they plan to do there, but I guess there is nothing good. After the exam results are announced in one week, we will I can go back for the summer vacation, and I don't want to get involved in anything."

Ann jumped off the box with the finished ice cream bucket in her arms, "Okay, Fanny, we are going down too. It seems that most of the students have finished their exams. Let's go!"

Fanny craned her neck for a look at Hagrid's cabin, as if it would give her a glimpse of the secret, but Ann had already packed her gingham by now.

"Fanny!" An called from the wooden door of the Astronomy Tower.

"All right!"

There are many things in the world, if you don't look for them, they won't come to you.

When Ann and Fanny were walking in an unoccupied passage to the restaurant, three people rushed out from the side and surrounded the two of them in the middle of the passage. It was the three protagonists.

Harry and Hermione stopped in front of them, and Ron stopped behind them.

Harry said urgently, "Ann, we've got a big problem! You..."

Ann interrupted Harry with a blunt tone, "I don't want to hear anything you guys said. What I found out last time is over, okay? We have no contact now, and I don't want to help you solve any trouble!"

An took a step forward, but the three of them had no intention of moving away.

Hermione pleaded, "Ann, we are really in a big trouble, and Professor McGonagall doesn't believe us..."

"So? If a professor can't do something, what do you think I, a first-year Slytherin student, can do?" Ann finished speaking quickly, and then followed up indifferently, "Now! Get out of the way ! Don't make me draw my wand."

The three of them remained motionless, and Ann took another step to the left. At this moment, Ron said eagerly from behind, "Someone is going to steal the Philosopher's Stone. Don't you care that the mysterious man might be resurrected?"

Fanny's body trembled, and her voice trembled, "What? The Philosopher's Stone? The resurrection of the mysterious man? How is this possible?"

"Yes, I don't care about the Philosopher's Stone, and I don't care whether the mysterious man is resurrected or not! Is it okay?" Ann said and planned to walk forward.

Harry shouted at Ann emotionally, "If he comes back to life, Hogwarts won't even exist! You can't be so selfish!"

When Ann heard Harry's words, she curled her lips into a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Potter, you are right, I am a selfish Slytherin."

An pulled Fanny out of the encirclement of the three, and now the three did not stop her.An strode forward, ignoring the voice behind her.

"It's too much! I didn't expect her to be like this!" "But, Ann, she must have a reason..." "What reason, I think she is a selfish person! I still treat her as a friend!" "We should think about what to do now. If Ann refuses to help us, she is right in saying that the problem has already happened and we have to face it..."

On the way to the restaurant, Fanny and Ann didn't say a word. When they sat down to eat, Fanny kept staring at Ann with hesitant eyes. She only ate a small apple pie and put it down. Knife and fork, looking at Ann.

Ann was a little impatient to be stared at by Fanny, and said in a bad tone, "If you have something to say, just say it, there's no need to look at me like that."

It was also the first time Fanny saw An angry. She carefully found her words, "Ann, I think you may be able to listen to what they have to say...the things they have to say are quite serious!"

Ann also realized that she shouldn't blame others. She tried to keep her tone calm, "Listen to them, and then go on an adventure with them? Or something else? I'm just a freshman, and my abilities are limited. Fan Ni, I like quiet days without too many adventures."

Fanny looked at Ann and said seriously, "But if it is related to the mysterious person, then this matter is not a trivial matter! Ann, I think you should help them."

"If it's related to the mysterious person, they should tell the professor! Let the professors solve it."

"But they said just now that the professor doesn't believe them! They believe in you, Ann. Whether you admit it or not, you are already their friend."

"..." Ann suddenly realized that she couldn't say anything to Fanny.How should I put it, they are the protagonists, and absolutely nothing will happen. This was originally part of their adventure, and Dumbledore came back to save the scene.An lowered her head and poked the meat on the plate, muttering, "I can't say no to you, I won't go anyway..."

When Ann finished her dinner and stood up to go back to the dormitory, Fanny only ate the apple pie. She looked worriedly at the Gryffindor table, "They didn't come to eat."

Ann ignored her and walked away, and Fanny followed Ann at once, and the two of them walked quietly one after the other.

Slytherin's common room is underground, and from the dining room to the lounge, one has to pass through an underground office of Professor Snape, and there is a long, dimly lit passage between the underground office and the ground. As Ann was descending a flight of stairs, she heard a faint cry, and Fanny heard it too, and she approached Ann at once.

Ann guessed that it might be a student who was being taught to cry by Snape. Anyway, it was not the first time she had encountered such a thing. She continued to walk indifferently, but felt that the voice was vaguely familiar.
