[HP] Born to be a pair

Professor Trelawney of the divination class was expelled by Umbridge. Although she was kept in the castle by the principal as a guarantor, the divination class still had a new professor—a handsome centaur.

The rainy and stormy April is approaching, and almost all the female students above the third grade who have taken the divination class are moved by it. Depressed screams and secretly laughing are often heard in the corridor.

But none of this had anything to do with Renee, who hadn't taken a divination class and wasn't interested in handsome centaurs.

Now she was busy with preparations for the OWL exam, training for the DA party - due to lack of time, she and Neville had canceled the two-person training - and monitoring Marietta Ackmore.

Things don't always go smoothly, Renee always knew.

She had tried before to stop Marietta from going to snitch, whether it was gentle persuasion, or violent control of her freedom - Renee had never been able to use the Imperius Curse on her - but it was to no avail.

Marietta would still choose other times to go to Umbridge's office, timidly pouring out half of the DA's secrets, where and when they met...

Therefore, instead of asking her to meet Umbridge at an unknown time, Renee finally chose to control the damage suffered by DA in her own hands before breaking away from what she knew.

Marietta began to attend parties intermittently, always finding an excuse related to exams or schoolwork, as if determined to stay away from this 'student organization that violated the laws of the Ministry of Magic'.

But now, the lesson that Renee was looking forward to the most came. Harry happily announced at the party at [-] o'clock in the evening that they were going to start practicing the Patronus Charm!

"This matter - very important -" Harry said tensely and seriously, but the people below were still talking and laughing, making him look even more annoyed,

"—Please listen carefully! Given that there are now ten fugitive Death Eaters fleeing, we have reason to believe that the guards guarding Azkaban, that is, the dementors, have obeyed Voldemort's instructions..."

Most of the people froze in place, gasping in fear, terrified that he would say the mysterious man's name again, Zacharias Smith reacted the most, he yelled strangely: "Don't say his name!"

"...anyway," Harry continued angrily.

"Dementors are very scary. At that time, it was completely different from the bright classrooms we were in. The spellcaster needs to be firm in his heart and use all his thoughts to focus on a certain happiest moment before the spell can take effect, or take shape."

Renee, who is usually very good at charms, hit a wall with the Patronus Charm. She first tried to make it through her 17th birthday, but nothing happened.

"You have to recall an event that really happened," Harry could only emphasize to Renee in the face of Renee's vague question,

"Even if a great happy event happens in the future, if you haven't personally experienced the taste of that joy, you won't be able to work on the spell."

She tried to think back to the first time she saw her mother's diary, and the strange, dry feeling that the gap in mother love had finally been filled filled again.

"Call God Guard!"

A stream of silver-white gas shot out from the tip of her staff, paused for a few seconds before taking shape, and then dispersed and melted into the air.

"Renee! Look, I made it! I made it!"

Neville yelled excitedly. He had just successfully summoned a formed Patronus, but unfortunately, the moment Renee turned his head, it also dissipated with time.

"Oh... no... I did do it just now, in the shape of a bird..." He drooped his head in frustration and said.

"It's already done better than me." Renee comforted him, and she seemed a little listless, and the two of them wilted together like eggplants beaten by frost, until Harry came to comfort everyone dumbfounded.

"To be honest, the Patronus Charm is a very advanced magical spell, far above the level of ordinary wizards," Harry said patiently,

"So in the first class we just focused on recalling our happiest memories, and that's the most important thing."

Some people found the way, some were still scratching their heads. In short, by the second class, several of the members present had successfully summoned the Patronus.

"Look at my patron saint, how beautiful it is!" Qiu stared fascinatedly at the silver swan-shaped patron saint flying in mid-air, and said eagerly, "An elegant and charming swan."

"The Patronus doesn't have to be beautiful, it should be able to protect you." Harry said to Qiu very seriously, but Renee noticed that Qiu's face immediately became a little uncomfortable.

Neville also succeeded, and he finally released his Patronus shortly after the party started-a shiny bird-shaped Patronus with long wings and short tail.

His face was flushed with excitement, and there were dense beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. He said ecstatically, "I succeeded! I succeeded! This——what kind of bird is this?"

"That should be an albatross," said Hermione, walking up to him with her own silver otter. "Congratulations, Neville!"

Others were frantically flicking their wands, trying to turn the silvery-white cloud blown from the tip into a formed animal.

So did Renee, but she stopped this pointless attempt and found Neville instead.

"How can I judge which memory is the most enjoyable for me?"

Renee asked reluctantly. She hadn't even thought about the day she received the expensive Christmas present, but the translucent silver-white cloud still hadn't formed.

Neville's face suddenly turned red, he nervously looked around at other people who were busy, and stammered to her in a low voice: "I, I don't know... maybe you can think about it... the two of us... "

Catching Renee's gaze, he was smoking with heat, and muttered, "I just thought of that time—when we just walked out of the library—"

What did she think of, something to do with Neville - something to do with her future and her life - that pair of eyes she had seen on the landing near the north tower not long after she had writhed from the throes of her third death? Dragonhide boots covered in wet mud.

Feeling the sudden dizziness of freedom and hope, the ultimate bliss that has sustained her until now, Renee drew her wand and called out to the albatross hovering in the light.

"Call God Guard!"

The silvery white smoke from this wand has never been thicker, and they form a small bird in mid-air, hovering around the albatross and spreading its wings.

The two birds flew entangled, and after hovering a few times, the dazzling raven flapped its wings and flew towards Renee, landed firmly on her shoulder, and rubbed her side with its sharp beak affectionately. Face.

"I did it!" Renee wept with rare joy, she could feel the comfort and uplifting that this raven brought her, this is the Patronus she had tried for several years but failed to succeed!

"This is really great!" Neville also said happily, his albatross had persisted for 3 minutes, and then drifted away.

He had no choice but to gather around Renee, looking at the proud silver raven on her shoulder with novel eyes.

"Are you going home for Easter break?" Neville asked.

"Easter? The holiday is too short—I think I'll forget it. I'd like to use the four days off to practice my Transfiguration."

"Then I won't go back either." Neville glanced at her nervously, "We can practice together."

"Where's your grandma? Doesn't she want you home for Easter?"

"No... If I told her that I didn't go home for the holidays because I was reviewing homework with you at school, she would be crazy with joy."

Perhaps their conversation reminded Hermione, she turned to find Harry and Ron, the three of them whispered for a while, and finally Harry announced to everyone at the end of the party.

"Be aware, everyone," he said, raising his voice, "as Easter is coming up soon, some people may choose to go home.

So the next gathering will be a few days before Easter. Please pay more attention to the fake Galleon for the specific time. "

That gallon would not only remind DA members when to come to the party, but also let some malicious people know the correct party time.

—The last meeting before Easter, if nothing else, will be that day.

As the holiday approached, all the students seemed a little absent-minded, but Marietta seemed the most excited.

She distanced herself from Cho and the other DA members, and seemed to think that what she was about to do was just and right, but the occasional guilty look at Cho made her seem less noble than she thought.

When the thin metal needle on the pocket watch finally pushed the time to [-]:[-] that night, Padma came to invite Renee to the Response Room as usual, but today she declined.

"Sorry, I wanted to come back later," Renee said apologetically, "I've been hungry a lot lately, especially after practice, so I thought I'd go to the kitchen first and get some rice pudding or flatbread."

"Okay." Padma said, and then went out with Qiu, who had just gone downstairs, followed by Luna, and the three of them walked down the landing outside the lounge.

On an April night, the slender crescent moon is embedded in the dark night, and the dark clouds hide the bright light in the shadows, making the foggy blue Forbidden Forest seen through the arched windows look even more mysterious.

Not long after they had left, Renee saw Marietta slinking out from behind the marble statue of Lady Rowena Ravenclaw. Renee in the dark.

After the surreptitious informer passed the door, Renee also stood up with a cold face, hurriedly skipped a few people who were studying how to get the eggs out of the glass bottle without breaking it, and went straight through the door. go out.

She followed the hurried Marietta not too far away, and when she saw the startled informer walking towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Renee stopped in her tracks.

"Well," she muttered, taking out her pocket watch to check the time, "it's still in time."

After finishing speaking, she immediately turned around and went back to the landing, almost stepping up the stairs step by step. When she ran quickly through the corridor, Renee's expression had already shown the most perfect state - fear, nervousness , angry and anxious.

"Bam—"

She slammed open the door of the Room of Requirement, and the members who were still practicing the Patronus Charm put down their wands and looked at the panting Renee in horror.

"Get out of here!" Renee yelled, "I saw Marietta Eckmore bring Umbridge!"

Everyone was still staring at Renee dumbfounded, as if they didn't understand her words at all, but Harry, who was standing next to Qiu, immediately made a decision, and he said loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Get out of here!"

These words seemed to break some kind of unknown barrier, and then they reacted, frantically crowded in the direction where Renee was, Harry stayed at the end, still giving them advice: "Don't all go back to the lounge—— In groups of three, go to the library, or the owl shack—"

"There is also a bathroom!" Renee reminded while pushing in the opposite direction. Although the crowd was in a panic, some people still listened to the suggestion and fled in the opposite direction after a moment's hesitation.

"Where are you going?!" Neville grabbed her, and said anxiously and angrily, "You should go this way, why are you still running in?"

"Uh——" Renee was caught by him and couldn't move, so she turned her head and shouted at Hermione who was still in the last row, "Hermione! The list! Did you take our list?"

Hermione was overwhelmed by the crowd trying to flee, but luckily Ron supported her behind her.

Upon hearing this, she widened her eyes, waved her wand and screamed, "The DA list is coming!"

The parchment that had been nailed to the wall for several months broke free in an instant, and flew towards her palm. Hermione grabbed the paper and ran away with Ron before she had time to say anything more to Renee.

"Where should we go?"

When Neville and Renee came out, there was almost no one outside, only the sound of panicked footsteps. He believed that Umbridge was already on his way upstairs, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"We have a natural identity, idiot." Renee said calmly. She turned her head and carefully checked the smooth and undamaged wall before pulling Neville away from the wall.

"Let's just find a place, as long as there is a bench... It's better to be in a dark corner..."

"What?!" Neville sniffed and asked in a trembling voice, "Don't we need to run?"

There were already noisy footsteps coming from the stairs at the end of the eighth floor, which made him even more nervous, and the hands holding Renee became sticky.

Time was tighter than she had imagined, so Renee had no choice but to choose a stone bench next to a dragon-shaped decorative vase, and pushed Neville over.

Seeing him slumped on the bench in a daze, Renee pulled up his school uniform tie, and just as he straddled his legs, someone ran over from the corner.

"Caught you!" Draco Malfoy gasped triumphantly, pointing at the two of them with a vicious smile in his eyes. "What are you doing here? Hey-Professor, I've got two of you !"

"I don't understand what you mean." Renee said lightly, still clutching Neville's tie, which was blushing, "We're just chatting here, why? Chatting is also against the law?"

The author has something to say:

Neville's Patronus is not mentioned in the original book, so I made up an albatross, a kind of dumb and stupid looking sea bird.

But the albatross is actually one of the best glider birds.In windy climates, it can stay aloft for hours without flapping its extremely long, narrow wings.

And there is never a lack of adventurous spirit with freshness, but also a bird that attaches great importance to its partner and is very loyal.

And Renee's raven is considered in terms of the representative of Ravenclaw. I thought of the phoenix at first, because the phoenix in the original book is actually the phoenix, which represents rebirth and resurrection.

But... Dumbledore's Patronus is a phoenix, which makes me think that only a powerful wizard like him can have such a magical Patronus, and Renee can't actually be resurrected many times, if she died at the age of 17 the last time , then it cannot be revived.

So after all considerations, a spiritual, intelligent and lonely bird like the raven is more suitable for her.

And avoiding the crisis of DA this time is the most suitable method she can think of without deviating from the original route—at least everyone escaped.
