[HP] Stranger things

They awoke early the next morning to a clear, sunny day with a pleasant breeze blowing gently.

"Ideal weather for a Quidditch match!" Oliver enthused at the Gryffindor table, filling everyone's plate with scrambled eggs. "Harry, cheer up, you need a good breakfast."

See Oliver Wood like this.Ann wanted to laugh a little.Then she turned her head and poked Cedric. The moment she met Cedric's gaze, she knew that the Hufflepuff in front of her was trying to calm down.After all, this is his first game.Ann gave Cedric some scrambled eggs, patted him on the back reassuringly, and said nothing.She was afraid that talking too much would increase Cedric's pressure.

After Cedric and the others finished eating, they went to the Quidditch pitch first, and Ann went back to the dormitory to get a scarf, thought about it, and grabbed a handful of candies she bought at Honeydukes.By the time she made her way to the Quidditch pitch, people were swarming out of the Great Hall, talking and laughing loudly behind her, preparing to go from the main entrance to the Quidditch pitch. "Ann, you'd better go to the field quickly. After all, today is a duel between the two Hogwarts male gods. The girls are all excited. Although Susan and Zacharias will occupy the seats, you should go late." We can't squeeze through." Cynthia said, "It's almost eleven o'clock, and the game is about to start."

An Fu could only resign herself to join the bustling crowd of people passing through the stadium.The players walked to the arena amidst earth-shattering cheers.Oliver Wood soars into the air, doing a warm-up flight around the goalposts.Mrs. Hooch released the ball.The Hufflepuffs, dressed in canary yellow, were gathering to discuss tactics in the last minute.

Cedric and the others were about to get on their broomsticks when Professor Milo suddenly ran and walked across the field, holding a huge purple microphone in his hand.Ann's heart sank like a stone.

"The game is cancelled," Professor McGonagall said into the packed bleachers through the microphone.There were boos and shouts of displeasure from the crowd.Oliver Wood looked downcast.He landed on the ground and ran towards Professor McGonagall without getting off his broom.

"But the Professor!" he yelled, "we have to play... House Cup... Gryffindor..."

Professor McGonagall ignored him and continued to shout with the microphone: "All students must return to the common room of the college. There, the head of the college will tell you more about the situation. Please leave as soon as possible!" Then she put down the microphone , walked out with Harry Potter.

"You will feel a little shocked," Cynthia said in a hoarse voice when they returned to the waiting room, "there was another attack, another double attack. I saw Madam Pomfrey and the others lift two people up. Going back. One is Ravenclaw's prefect Penelope Clearwater, and the other is Harry Potter's good friend Hermione Granger. They were killed near the library found."

Susan turned pale. "That is to say, there are two possibilities, one is whether the savior is responsible, after all, he was preparing for Quidditch at the time. Or, another is that he knew that Quidditch could not be held, so he finally..." Susan did not Go on.But everyone understood what she was trying to say.

"But, as far as I know, the female prefect of Ravenclaw is not a bitch wizard." Zacharias asked a little confused.But no one answered him.

Ann leaned against Cedric and said nothing.Cedric's face was also full of heaviness.It was the arrival of Professor Sprout who broke their silence.

"All students must return to their college common room by six o'clock in the evening. No student may leave the hall after this time. Each class is escorted by a teacher. No student may Toilets to be used. All Quidditch practice and competitions postponed. No further activity in the evening."

The Hufflepuffs huddled in the common room, listening in silence to Professor Sprout.She rolled up the parchment she had just read, and said in a stifled voice, "I don't need to say, I've rarely suffered like this before. The school is likely to be closed, unless the criminals who planned these attacks Got caught. I urge everyone who thinks they know something to come forward."

She crawled awkwardly through the hole, and the Hufflepuffs immediately started chirping. "Two Gryffindors have fallen, not counting a Gryffindor ghost, there is also a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff." Ernie counted his fingers, "Is there any?" Did any teacher notice that the Slytherins were all safe and sound? Isn't it obvious that these things come from Slytherins? Slytherin heirs, Slytherin monsters - why don't they just take all the Are all the Slytherins out?" he yelled, and the audience nodded and applauded sparsely.

Ann frowned and said nothing.For some reason, she just found the savior suspicious.Cedric did not agree with this statement.He just held Ann's hand tightly and comforted her in this way.

Summer quietly came to the grounds around the castle. The sky, like the lake, turned into a purple light blue, and flowers as big as cabbages bloomed in the greenhouse.But the atmosphere inside the castle is not good.Because Dumbledore left the school, he was deposed.

Dumbledore was gone, and fear was spreading faster than ever before, so that the sun that warmed the castle walls seemed unable to penetrate the mullioned windows.Every face in the school looked terrified, and every laugh in the corridors seemed harsh, weird, and quickly stifled.

However, during the first session of Transfiguration that morning, something happened that made them forget about the Chamber of Secrets for the first time in weeks.Professor McGonagall had only been in the classroom ten minutes before telling them that the exam would be held on June 10st, just a week from today.

"Exam?" Zacharias screamed, "We still have an exam?"

Clang!There was a loud bang behind Ann, and Cynthia Finlayly's wand slipped from her hand, causing a leg of the desk to suddenly disappear.With a flick of her own wand, Professor McGonagall put the table legs back on again, and she turned, frowning at Zacharias.

"Under the current state of emergency, the school is still not closed, the purpose is to allow you to receive education." She said sternly, "Therefore, the exam is still going on as usual, I believe you will all study hard."

Ann is a little happy. She has been seriously reviewing and previewing this year, trying to do her best. Of course, she believes that Cedric is the same as her. Even if these things happened, she never let go of her homework.

Review carefully!Susan and the others never thought that the situation in the castle was already like this, and there was still an exam.The students in the class started to talk about it, and there was a chatter in the classroom, which made Professor McGonagall's frown tightened and his face became more gloomy.

"Professor Dumbledore's instruction is to maintain the normal operation of the school as much as possible." She said, "This means, to examine how much knowledge you have learned this year."

Because of this explosive news, Cynthia and Susan both chose to hug the thigh of little sister Ann, while Zacharias hugged Cedric's thigh.

"At a time like this, I can't envy Justin more. He skipped the exam because of this! Merlin, I don't want to take the exam." Cynthia looked at the timelines of the history of magic listed in front of her, expressing with her expression His own despair, and at the same time feel how lucky Justin is not to have to face this.

Ann looked amusedly at Cynthia, who was unhappy because Justin was petrified before, and now Cynthia wished she could become Justin and let Justin take the exam instead.

"Okay, the approximate time of History of Magic is enough, and this is quite easy to make up. But have you memorized the spells in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class? If not, go to Seid to teach you. I believe you have always There is no problem with the beloved charm class and herbalism. As for the potion, I will supervise your practice in the dormitory at night. Now, please memorize this timeline, dear Cynthia." Once it comes to the field of study, Ann is right about everything.Strictness seems to be the second Professor McGonagall, but it is because of An's tutoring that their final grades will exceed expectations by a lot.It's just a bit of a pain in the process.Maybe this is the legendary pain and happiness.

It was only three days before their first exam, and during breakfast, Professor McGonagall made another announcement.

"I have good news to tell everyone." She said, instead of becoming quiet, the auditorium became noisy.

"Dumbledore is coming back!" several people shouted happily.

"You've captured the Heir of Slytherin!" shrieked a girl at the Ravenclaw table.

"The Quidditch game has resumed!" Wood shouted excitedly.

When the uproar died down, Professor McGonagall said: "Professor Sprout told me that the mandrakes are finally ready to be harvested. Tonight, we can bring those petrified people back to life. I don't have to ask You pointed out that one of them probably could have told us who, or what, attacked them. It is my sincere hope that this terrible year will end with us catching the killer."

Everyone burst into cheers.

"Sed, the matter is finally coming to an end." Ann was a little happy.Cedric smiled from the bottom of his heart too. "Hahahahahahahaha, Justin is going to take the exam too. He hasn't even studied yet." Cynthia was the happiest, although she just gloated a little more.

The next day, there was only Professor Snape's Potions class, and when they finished the complex sleeping potion and waited for the get out of class bell, they found that the get out of class end bell never rang.

Instead, Professor McGonagall's voice echoed in the hallway, amplified many times by magic.

"All students return to their dormitories immediately. All teachers return to the staff lounge. Please act immediately."

Ann grabbed Cedric's hand, not knowing what to say.She always felt that something happened again this time.And it's definitely worse than before.After a while, Professor Sprout came to the Hufflepuff lounge.She looked at the children who were watching her, and spoke sadly.

"Something happened again," she said to the silent students in the room. "A student was kidnapped by a monster. He was taken directly into the secret room." Professor Sprout suddenly covered his mouth with both hands.Some girls couldn't help screaming.

"The heir to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets," said Professor Sprout, who was very pale, "has left another line. Just below the last paragraph, it is written: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever. "

Some female students couldn't help crying.Ann leaned against Cedric, as if it was the only way she wouldn't look too humiliated sitting on the floor.Cedric hugged Ann tightly, as if Ann would be like that girl in a second.

"The student who was taken away was Ginny Weasley," said Professor Sprout.

"The Hogwarts Express will take you home tomorrow morning." Professor Sprout said sadly, "Hogwarts is over. I still love you, you will always be my proudest Students, no matter what you do, you are my favorite little Hufflepuff badgers. Also, at this dangerous time, I hope you can supervise each other and don't go out tonight."

After speaking, Professor Sprout left.She seemed to be looking for a place to soothe her broken emotions.

Ann buried her head in Cedric's arms, unable to speak a word.Cedric didn't have any expression on his face. He patted Ann's back lightly and murmured, "It'll be all right, everything will be all right." He didn't know whether he was comforting himself or Ann.

Susan and Cynthia leaned against each other, as if absorbing the last bit of warmth.The living room was eerily quiet.This is bound to be a sleepless night.
