[HP] Born to be a pair

Since the words on the diary became visible, Renee put it in the same box as the pocket watch, and hid it like a treasure in the gap between the pillow and the chest of drawers.

As night fell and her roommates were sound asleep, she undid the curtains beside the four-poster bed and replaced the starry sky outside the window with sky blue curtains embroidered with stars.

With the light of the tip of the staff, Renee scanned the entire diary with greedy eyes, from the beginning of the date of the first entry to the letter word of the last entry.

She noticed that her mother liked to bold the initials, that every 'Gregor' was in a beautiful cursive, and that in her diary from the day she was born, her mother wrote countless 'Renees' in the corners.

All the valuables in the home are likely to be taken away and sold, except that anything related to the mother can be preserved intact, including her picture.

Amelia Shafik looks a lot like 17-year-old Renee, except her hair is warm straw blond and her eyes sparkle the blue of the sea and sky.

Through the thin pages of the book, Renee seemed to feel the strength of her mother when she wrote this sentence, the warmth of her fingertips and the laughter when she wrote a wisecrack.

Sad and joyful, Renee closes the diary.

She couldn't help thinking about what special event happened in the fifth grade that caused her father, who had never found the diary, to suddenly send it over.

Renee has experienced fifth grade more than once, but this diary is the first time she has seen it.

A gust of cold wind moved the thick curtain, blowing a gap in the lining part.

Renee couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly put on the dressing gown that was piled beside the pillow.It's only mid-October, and the temperature is already unbelievably cold. When Christmas comes, I don't know how cold it should be.

"Is there something I've never done before..." Renee murmured, "What caused Dad to go through Mom's junk box...cold...coat...diary!"

It was Renee who sent him the letter!Maybe he just didn't have any more pounds to buy her a new coat, so he had to rummage through mum's old wardrobe and found this diary by accident!

There was no writing on it, and he might not have noticed it at all, but he might have suddenly realized that his daughter and wife were both witches, so he put this diary written in invisible ink in his coat and sent it!

It doesn't matter if there isn't any news about Amelia Shafik at school.

Before going to sleep, Renee thought happily.

When she passes through the age of 17 safely, after she graduates, she will have a lot of time to pursue her mother's past.

The next day, just after Potions class, Renee received two messages.

"Miss Hawke, I regret to inform you that because you cast a spell on your classmates in the corridor yesterday, you have to come to my office at seven o'clock tomorrow night for confinement punishment."

Filius Flitwick, head of Ravenclaw, told her, looking unusually serious.

"Oh—okay." Renee blinked in surprise.

However, she usually doesn't worry about Professor Flitwick's confinement. At most, she helps him prepare some materials and props needed for the next day's class - and the materials needed for the Charms class are at least more than those needed for the Potions class. Much simpler.

Padma stopped her when she was going to the ancient rune classroom.

"Things are progressing." She winked and said, "Meet me on the eighth floor at eight o'clock tonight."

Neville, who was walking up not far away, paused, hesitating to continue walking and turning back to the classroom, and finally was rushed back by the crowd unhappily.

Renee waved at him rather amusedly, and Padma continued to ask: "Do you think they decided that the eighth floor is closer to the Gryffindor lounge, so that's why they decided there?"

"Well." Renee said, "I don't think they can decide this matter."

"whats the matter?"

The elusive Lisa suddenly poked her head out from behind them: "How about we go to the Hufflepuff lounge after dinner? I heard there is a small party. They have a lot of delicious food."

"Oh, no... we have to—"

Renee tugged at Padma's cuff, and followed her words, "I'm going to Neville, and Padma—she's going to her sister."

"Are you going to find Parvati?" Lisa asked in surprise, "How about you two come together?"

"Hmm...it's hard to say..." Padma tightly grasped Renee's hand nervously, "We want some...separate...space for sisters to get along with each other..."

"Seriously? A separate space for you and Parvati?"

When it was close to eight o'clock, Renee and Padma walked arm in arm to the eighth floor, Cho Chang and Marietta Ackmore trailing behind them, so that the two of them could only talk in whispers.

"You all have a separate space to get along with each other every day before the age of 11." Renee couldn't stop laughing, and Padma couldn't help but slapped her several times.

"It was so sudden! I just didn't realize it!" Padma said angrily. "And why didn't you tell Lisa about this? I bet it would be more interesting to learn something than go to Hufflepuff Can you eat and drink in Qi lounge?"

"She didn't come for the first time!" Renee frowned naturally, "This is not an organization we started, we have to ask Harry before deciding whether we can tell Lisa."

While chatting and laughing, they walked into the corridor on the eighth floor.

The wall that had once held the door to Renee's bedroom now showed a smooth gilt door that seemed to be one with the wall.

"Did this door exist before?" Qiu couldn't help asking in surprise.

"Who knows?" Marietta eyed the door suspiciously. "Hopefully we can both draw wands in there."

Obviously, her skepticism was in vain. When Renee opened the door and entered, the spacious area inside made several girls couldn't help but "wow".

Renee's eyes were drawn to the rows of lambskin-bound books on the wooden bookshelves, brown and olive, with gilt spines, and titles such as Outsmart the Dark Arts and Self-Defense Spells.

"It's great." She said blankly, wishing she could fly to sit next to Hermione, who was buried in her books, and pick out a few books she hadn't read.

"Renee!" Neville looked back and saw them, beckoning to her excitedly, and he deliberately left another empty cushion, right next to the one he was sitting on.

Padma kept her smile unchanged, turned her head to Renee's ear and said in surprise: "It's really unexpected, has Longbottom lost some weight?"

"Is there?" Renee was really surprised at this time, she looked at Neville with glowing eyes without a trace, and raised her hand to respond to him while whispering.

"Maybe I spend a lot of time with him... I don't seem to see it."

I don't know if Padma's words played a role, but after Renee sat down next to Neville, her eyes always drifted to the boy beside her involuntarily.

In the past, Neville had a round face, a stocky and generous figure, always arched his back and retracted his neck, and his blond hair hung limply on his head.

But today, when Renee observed carefully, she found that Neville seemed to be a different person, with his back stretched out straight, his arms and waist thinner, and his neck more slender.

The flesh on his face had been reduced, accentuating his firm jaw and smooth jawline, and two dark saber eyebrows - how had she not noticed before that Neville's eyes were round and big?

Harry Potter's speech was not long, and at the suggestion of Cho and Ginny, everyone agreed on the name 'D.A', which not only represented the Defense Association, but also Dumbledore's Army.

Dumbledore's Army - well, well.Renee shuddered at the thought of the venerable headmaster.

Renee was assigned to practice disarming spells with Padma—their group's first practice session.

Both she and Padma performed very well, disarming each other quickly and accurately, which made Renee a little frustrated. Do such basic spells still need to be practiced?

"Except your weapons!"

There were voices one after another, and the missed spell flew past Renee's eyes, which made her have to admit, well, it is still necessary to practice basic spells.

After succeeding with Padma at the same time, Renee seemed a little idle. She asked Padma to join Parvati and Lavender's team, and instead found Neville who was practicing with Harry.

"Expelliarmus!" Neville yelled, catching a glimpse of Renee's approaching figure, holding up his own wand, snatching it away from the absent-minded Harry.

"I made it!" Neville blushed with excitement, "It's never happened before——I made it!"

"You're great!" Renee was not stingy with her praise, she looked at him with a look of surprise and admiration, "This is your first practice, right? It's amazing!"

Harry's face suddenly became very strange, and he looked eager to say something, but seeing Neville's proud and delighted expression, he shut his mouth again.

"Uh, not bad! Neville!" He encouraged Neville, "Well, you and Hawke will practice first, and I'll walk around to see how everyone is doing."

After speaking, he immediately fled this ambiguous corner with his wand.

As soon as he left, Renee quickly took her original position, she raised her eyebrows and teased, "Handsome guy, have you been hiding something from me lately?"

Neville was a little confused, he quickly proved his innocence: "Of course not! I promise I won't lie to you."

"Including the fact that you suddenly became stronger?" Renee said in an ambiguous tone, and reached out and squeezed his arm.

Neville's whole body immediately turned red, his cheeks flushed rapidly visible to the naked eye, and the heat spread to every inch of exposed skin, he stepped back several steps in panic and embarrassment, and whispered.

"You, you see it?"

Renee just raised her eyebrows and didn't answer.

Sure enough, Neville went on rambling on with his own words, completely unable to hide the joy and shyness in his tone: "Recently I have indeed reduced my eating... I go for a run next to the Black Lake every morning... Is the effect so obvious? Haha Leigh and Ron didn't see it!"

"Maybe it's because I can't take my eyes off of you." Renee was very good at talking about love, which made Neville even more embarrassed.

"However, why?" She asked curiously, "You clearly know that no matter what you are, you are excellent."

"It's just that you said that..." Neville muttered, depressed, he peeked at Renee's face with some embarrassment, and before she gave up asking, he mustered up the courage to say.

"I...Actually...for - when I'm with you, others won't avoid you."

Renee's eyes widened in shock, she didn't know what to say, Neville knew all along!But he didn't have to do that at all!

"You don't have to—"

"No, it's necessary!" Neville looked at her seriously, "If they think you're no longer attractive by dating me, then it's up to me to prove them wrong!

I'll try to match you and not hold you back, and you're the most attractive person whether you're dating someone or not. "

The author has something to say:

Harry was disgusted by two slimy people and walked away.

Harry: slip away
