[HP] In love with a Cedric

"Sed? What are you looking at?" Mrs. Diggory called him several times, but Cedric still frowned and looked out the window.

It's been a week since the summer vacation, but Lin An still didn't reply to his letter like the usual summer vacation.

Not one.

Holding a cup of coffee in his hand, he looked at the street outside with a lack of interest. The woman brought by the Muggle taxi opened the door with a key:

"Mum, the Muggle house next door has sold and a new tenant has moved in."

"Oh, then I hope to be a wizard. I don't like the strange questions that Muggles often have." Mrs. Diggory was handling her muffins. "The Peeping Charm doesn't work sometimes."

The woman was wearing a long royal blue dress and a big silk hat, which made it difficult to see her face clearly.The overall attire looks like a Muggle or a wizard, making it difficult to judge.

There was very little luggage, only a leather suitcase, and she struggled slightly when carrying it.

Then it seems that he is not a wizard - he can use magic, and he has already cast the levitation spell at this time.

Cedric sighed, and just as he was about to look away, he saw the woman raising her head and holding a magic wand. The next second, the whole room was enveloped in a layer of light blue light.

After the light blue light source dissipated, she twisted her arms, cast the floating spell freely, and entered the house with the box.

He rushed to his mother excitedly, pointed in that direction and said:

"Hey! Mom, it looks like a grown witch!"

Mrs. Diggory also looked very happy: "Then you go to visit your new neighbors this afternoon. I'm sure there are still some jams in the cupboard. Oh! I'm baking the biscuits now. Would you like to bring some too?"

Cedric suddenly didn't know why, and felt that the witch had an indescribably familiar feeling.

Wait...Is it Lin An?

She promised herself that this summer vacation, it would be easier for the two of them to contact each other!

If there is no reply, is it possible that she chose to move closer to her?

"Knock knock." He stood at the door with jam and biscuits in his hands in the afternoon, still wondering if it was Lin An.

No one responded, and even the windows were tightly covered by dark curtains.

"Knock knock." Cedric knocked again.

He waited for a long time, until he lost his temper and wanted to knock one last time and come back another day, the door opened from the inside.

It was very dark inside, and it seemed that all the light was blocked outside.

Lin An leaned against the door, under the dark blue robe, was a pair of bare feet.

Her hair was not completely dry yet, and because of the moisture, it looked like a black satin. Together with the robe, it showed the skin of the neck and collarbone that was exposed outside Sai Xue.

"Cedric, good afternoon." She leaned against the door and smiled at him as if she had expected it.

Cedric was at a loss for a moment, and the social skills he usually had with ease could not be used in front of such a daily Lin An.

Fortunately, Lin An didn't embarrass him, turned around and walked into the house, and said to him, "Come in and have a seat."

There was a soft carpet under his feet, the windows were covered by dark blue curtains, only a few floating candles glowed with warm yellow light.

Lin An briskly walked towards the cupboard on the side, holding something on his feet.

As for Cedric, he turned his head and looked at the living room carefully.

There are few decorations, and the bookshelves in the living room are full of various books and notebooks.Ravenclaw blankets and pillows are placed on the comfortable sofa, and oriental china is the only decoration on the small table.

"It's still a bit messy. The only advantage of a Muggle house is that you don't have to worry about strange magic." Lin An was still barefoot, holding two cups of tea, as slender and beautiful as a dark butterfly.

Cedric was sitting on the sofa, his gray eyes were full of Lin An's approaching figure.

It wasn't until the sofa sank and she sat next to him that he came back to his senses and heard the nice voice asking, "Is it for me? Biscuits and...jam?"

Cedric put the two boxes on the table: "Yes, my mother made it herself, you can try it, although I don't know if you are used to it."

"Thank you Mrs. Diggory for me." Lin An put down the tea tray, and apologized with a sip, "I'm sorry, Cedric, I promised you to reply to many letters, but moving is too busy."

"I plan to bring the whole study here intact—but I haven't tried this kind of magic, so I practiced it for more than a week—" She went to the stairs, motioning Cedric to follow her upstairs.

Lin An doesn't wear a school uniform, she really looks like a butterfly when she walks.

The soft carpet swallowed all the footsteps, only the faint scent of narcissus on the person walking in front, leading Cedric slightly but tightly.

"Be careful, there are many things under a spell...I don't want you to get hurt."

Merlin is here... Is the entire second floor her study?

It was still as dark as the first floor.

There is a huge table in the middle, covered with thin yellow paper, and red strips are erected on the black board next to it, and pens of various sizes and strange shapes are floating in the air.

What surprised Cedric the most was the countless Chinese books and papers filled with strange words, some on yellow paper, some on white paper...flying, scrapped, lying of......

He bet that Lin An definitely cast a spell on her second floor to expand the space.

"Is that a... coffin?"

The dismantled wooden planks were tied by chains and hung from the wooden roof of the second floor. When Cedric looked up and saw it, he was shocked.

"In a certain form, yes." Lin An put his hand on his shoulder.

The unfinished red pattern on it has a gleam of gold.

"You shocked me so much, Xiaoan. I have wondered countless times whether you are a fifth grader." Cedric still had his standard gentle smile, but praised Lin who was beside him unabashedly. Ann, "Even as a Ravenclaw, isn't it too exaggerated."

Lin An turned around gently amidst the strangely floating objects emitting a soft shimmer, and placed his cold right hand on Cedric's heart.

"To protect those who want to protect." She murmured, her dark eyes seemed to be able to suck Cedric's soul into her.

bang... bang... bang...

The strong heartbeat of the handsome young man in front of her is all she wants to protect.

Cedric's heart... couldn't be controlled, because of that hand, it beat faster: "Xiao An..."

He wanted to hold Lin An's hand, really wanted to... even if she was just standing in front of him, he still wanted to hold that cold hand...

Ravenclaw's white daffodils...

The word came out, and a white light exploded in his head.

Lin An, with the scent of narcissus, actually put one hand on his chest, staring at him unblinkingly with his beautiful black eyes...

No, his face is burning... really burning!

But he really didn't want to push Lin An away, he was really addicted to those black eyes full of clear sadness and —— love.

She was so mysterious that Cedric didn't know where this sadness came from, but it held his heart tightly.

Lin An looked as if he was about to cry, but he withdrew a second before crying, and quickly stepped back a few steps——

"Xiao An!"

When Cedric came back to his senses, he had already grasped that cold and white hand in his palm.

unbelievable...

This word can perfectly interpret the common mood of two people.

He tentatively opened his hand lightly.

The palm is empty.

A little badger, trying to explain his recklessness to the wisest eagle in Ravenclaw, but he faltered for a long time, and all he could say was-

"You...will you be discovered by the Ministry of Magic if you use magic outside the school?"

Full of desire to cover up.

It was like after he accidentally burned all of Lin An's books to ashes in Charms class, this time, it was the same level of embarrassment as that day.

Lin An cleared his throat and recovered the lost voice: "You cast magic at home, did you get a letter from the Ministry of Magic?"

"No..." Cedric replied subconsciously.

"So," she shrugged, "I also think Zongsi is a scam."

Lin An sent Cedric away in the evening, stood at the door with a smile on his back, and watched him go home.

Then gently closed the door, in the darkness, put away the smiling face, leaned against the door and slid to the ground.

She loves him.

There is no doubt about that.

But Lin An could only shrink himself up, put one hand on his aching heart, and curled up on the carpet.

Cedric Diggory.Every time I see you, I wonder if this will be the last.

I am afraid to see your gray eyes turn from bright to empty, afraid that they will lose color and never reflect me.

Afraid to hear your father crying and shouting your name, throwing himself on top of you, but I can only squat down on the stand like a mouse, listening to Qiu Zhang’s crying...

This is scarier than Azkaban.

She covered her eyes with her hand, trying to think about the tiny happiness just now, but the shadow of the dementor kept flashing in her mind.

Endless nights, joy sucked away.Scenes of your death played back in my mind.

once.

twice.

countless times......
