Wild child

Fanny got up very early the next day, and she planned to go to the school hospital to find Harry and Hermione to check on the situation.It's strange, originally it was nothing to her, but after the mess last night, she felt that Sirius' fate was very important to her.

Oh, of course.If he gets caught, then me, Harry, and Hermione will all be in serious trouble, and maybe Professor McGonagall with the Hermione timer.Fanny would come to a conclusion after thinking about it, she shook her head and lamented her dullness, then buried herself in eating her own toast.

However, accidents seem to be the norm in Fanny's various plans. Before she finished drinking the milk, Snape, who was pale for some reason, made a very unusual move——stepped down from the staff dining table , "condolences" to the students who are eating breakfast at the table in our hospital.

Then there was an uproar spreading like tumbling wheat waves, and within a few minutes all the students at breakfast knew the explosive news that "Lupine is a werewolf", and it was obvious that this news would spread throughout the Huo Gwartz, and was known by all parents within half a day

Fanny didn't take another sip of her breakfast, she sat and waited for half an hour, and followed Snape after he finally finished chatting with the bunch of Slytherins and left.

Snape looked coldly at the girl who suddenly ran out to stop him, her eyes were burning with blue flames of anger, she looked very...fragile, in his eyes, all the people who wrote their emotions on their faces probably That's right.

Just an ordinary 13-year-old girl who is thin, irritable, emotionally intense and doesn't understand strategy, what he felt at that moment in the dilapidated hut was just an illusion.

Just as Fanny was about to speak, a hand suddenly pressed her shoulder from behind.The owner of the hand had dark circles under his eyes, and seemed haggard and thinner again, but he smiled gently, making Fanny's almost gushing anger slowly subside.

"Goodbye, then, Severus." Lupine straightened up, his tone as pleasant and peaceful as ever, "Thank you for everything you have done for me this year."

The corner of Snape's mouth twitched, maybe he wanted to show his usual sarcastic smile, but in the end he turned away without showing any expression.

"Then, goodbye, Professor Lupine." Fanny imitated Lupin's tone, and then her face fell down, "If you teach for a few more years, maybe you still have a chance...Snape..."

"Sooner or later it will be public. I almost bit Harry, Hermione and Ron last night and it must never happen again," said Lupine softly.

"Forget it, think optimistically, at least you are better than the first two." Fanny shrugged, "One is dead, and the other has no memory."

"That's true." Lupine smiled. "Okay, let's say goodbye. I hope you can always maintain this mentality."

"If it's none of your business, I will," Fanny said. "Goodbye, Professor Lupine."

Lupine turned and walked towards his office. Fanny still felt a little stuck, so she stood there for a while, remembering that today was the last weekend that she could go to Hogsmeade this school year, so she decided to go.She usually doesn’t go to the open days. It has become her habit to love the night more than the day. She likes to go in the evening after school when there are fewer pedestrians on the street and most of the shops are still open. Down the bar lights.

Fanny always thinks twice about spending money this school year. The fireworks and other stocks in her pocket were bought more than half a year ago. The money Mrs. Conwell gave at the beginning of last semester has not been spent yet.Later, Mrs. Conwell sent some living expenses, and Fanny put them all in the bottom of the box without touching them. She felt as if she had finally returned to the real world from a dreamland where she could do whatever she wanted, and realized the difficulties of life and the connection between herself and others. .

Of course, she didn't hate this feeling.

But some activities are always indispensable, just like the Weasley family will celebrate each child's birthday, Fanny still bought a lot of presents when she went to Hogsmeade this time.I have to say that women love to go shopping for a reason. When walking back to the castle with a big bag that almost completely blocked her view, Fanny felt that she was in a much better mood.

On the way back to the common room, Fanny met an unexpected visitor. Dumbledore sent all the things in Fanny's hand back to the dormitory with a wave of his wand as usual, and then motioned her to follow him.

Fanny remembered that she never took the "normal route", and the choice of those trails was basically a temporary decision, and she never planned in advance when it was not necessary.It seemed that Dumbledore knew more about her itinerary than she did.

Still one after the other, the two came to the principal's office.In the large oval room, the walls are covered with portraits of previous principals, and fine silverware is placed on the table by the wall, and one of them is spreading white smoke with an elegant fragrance to the entire room.Fanny looked at all this in amazement.

Then they sat on either side of the principal's desk, each with a chocolate milkshake in front of them.

"How does it feel?" Dumbledore asked.

"It got better after buying so many things."

"Like my chocolate milkshake?"

"It's very fragrant. But you didn't make this, did you?"

"Oh, of course not. But I found a lot of dessert recipes from all over the world. The elves' wonderful cooking skills have always been a great motivation for me to continue to be the principal."

"May I ask, how much dessert do you eat every day?"

"Beyond your imagination, child."

"My God, isn't there a disease called diabetes in the wizarding world?"

The room was peaceful, and Fanny just sat at the table with her head propped up, chatting casually with the old man.The eyes of the person on the other side are gentle but always have a sharpness like piercing the soul, but Fanny feels that she has never been so calm.

"Fanny, can I see your Patronus?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

"Yes...is there really nothing you don't know?" Fanny couldn't help but replied.

"I talked to Remus about your interesting proposal." The peaceful smile on Dumbledore's face didn't change a bit,

It seems that Fanny's goal of finding Lupine has been fulfilled.Dumbledore watched with great interest as Fanny drew out her wand and closed her eyes, her expression became as serene as when she first met the boy when he was healing the boy.The spell was spit out from Fanny's mouth, and the silver eagle circled around under the oval ceiling of the principal's office, with its wings stretched, calmly.

"The Patronus is a reflection of the wizard's current state of mind," said Dumbledore after the Silver Falcon had dissipated.

"Well, I know that." Fanny nodded, "I like it."

After a long silence, Dumbledore said, "There's something I've been meaning to tell you, especially after last night. I'm really proud of you, Fanny."

On the train leaving Hogwarts, the three of Harry took Fanny to the same carriage.Harry looked sullen because he was the only homeless person in the car, and he almost had a home.Seeing this situation, Fanny couldn't help but imagine how she would feel if she had to go back to the orphanage alone, and concluded that she was quite lucky.

When they were almost at the station, they finally expected a letter from Blake. Obviously he hid it well, took a monster as a fugitive and had enough to buy an owl for Ron, and signed a note for Harry allowing him to go to Hogsmeade.Harry couldn't be happier that he didn't have to tunnel to Hogsmeade at last.

Hermione was still a little annoyed with Fanny, who got angry at the mention of saving Buckbeak.Fanny was very confused about this, and Hermione angrily pointed her to find it, but she had no idea of ​​the solution.In the past, Smith always gave in first, and she herself is quite nervous, as long as the other party bows her head, she doesn't even need to apologize.But Hermione's apologetic response to Fanny is to almost raise her eyebrows into her hair and add a sentence "What did you do wrong? I didn't see it". Simply put, Fanny's experience has no reference to "how to reconcile with friends" value.

Hermione also has a long-standing grievance. Fanny always likes to fight first and play later. Earlier, just a few suggestions on her way of doing things would ignite her bad temper. Hermione, who never gave in, compromised with Fanny. The two boys plus a few roommates add up to more.

Thinking about it, Xiao Shi has not been easy these years.

After receiving Sirius' letter, Harry's mood became much brighter. The few of them got together to play crackling cards and wizard chess, and several hours passed quickly.Soon, everyone stood on the wizard-only platform at King's Cross Railway Station, and walked back to the Muggle world in an orderly manner through the wall.

As soon as she came out of the wall, before she could see the way clearly, Fanny was pressed into an embrace.

"My God, Fanny, I thought I lost you. I thought..."

The crowd who didn't know the truth glanced at it and went to their own way. Hermione, Harry and others watched Mrs. Conwell's unrestrained expression of emotion in amazement, and Mrs. Weasley next to her immediately followed suit. From Ginny to Percy's five red-haired children nearly suffocated one by one.

Fanny felt a little guilty, but she was surprised that Mrs. Conwell, who was always gentle and polite, acted so fiercely.

What's more, so many people are dying of embarrassment... She came out of Mrs. Conwell's arms as gently and quickly as possible, thinking that Smith who was pulled aside was a bear hug.

A few whistles sounded from around again, Smith blushed, unable to speak.

Because of Hermione, the twins, and Ron, Hermione's parents, the Grangers and the Weasleys, had known Mrs. Conwell for a long time.At this moment, Mr. Weasley came forward to greet him, which relieved the embarrassment of the atmosphere, because he began to discuss the working principle of the TV with Mrs. Conwell almost immediately.

Exclamations such as "Ah, it also has a plug, right? I collect all kinds of plugs..." "Picture tube? You mean small lights that emit different colors?" Such exclamations will not surprise a few children at all, Several children surnamed Weasley looked at their father helplessly, Ginny huddled behind her mother and peeked at Harry, Hermione also joined the discussion, and Harry was taken away by his impatient uncle and aunt.

Fanny was also teaching Mr. Weasley, but she accidentally saw someone with a wrong neck ring, so she quit the circle.

"The girl's name is Amelia Reacher."

Smith's whole body trembled, his face turned red again after returning from whiteness, and he turned his head to look at Fanny, and couldn't help turning his head back again.With the degree of familiarity between him and Fanny, Smith omitted all the denials that were meant to be concealed, but he was definitely too embarrassed to ask the situation directly because of his thick skin.

Fanny also turned his body away to prevent him from twisting his neck, and patted him on the shoulder very understandingly: "That's my roommate, we all call her Amy, those who don't know think you and you My buddy fell in love with the same girl. I think she is a hard-to-get type. She is polite to someone and doesn’t like to talk. I have lived with her for three years and I haven’t seen her getting along with anyone. She and I also I’m not familiar with it, but since you’re interested, I’ll help you find out after school starts.”

Smith was lost in thought as he watched Amelia disappear into the crowd, "...she's a witch."

"Me too." Fanny pointed to the discussion group that hadn't dispersed yet, "What's the matter, look at us, do you still think wizards are mysterious and dangerous? And if you knew it was a witch from the very beginning, it's better than ending." After getting married, I will be scared to death."

"What about marriage... I don't know her at all."

"Now that you know her, she will know you after a while. It is normal for the wizarding world to get married as soon as you graduate. In four years, I bet that if you can hold her hand, you will be married for the rest of your life." It won't let go." Fanny poked him with a smirk, "Man...look at your expression just now, tsk tsk."

Smith blushed a lot. He knew that the "lusty" hat on his head would never be taken off.Do you want to explain that you don't like that girl because she is sexy?That's not entirely true.

Thinking about it later, Smith always felt that "feeling" was really strange.Amelia was plump, tall, fair-skinned, blond and blue-eyed.He was a little surprised when Fanny said that she was a roommate. Before that, he thought that the girl was nearly 20 years old, at least she was about to graduate.Her appearance is not outstanding, and her facial features are unremarkable when taken alone, but when combined, it makes people feel a pure and soft breath rushing towards her face.Taking a quick glance, he saw her chin raised slightly, with aristocratic pride, and there was no shyness in her eyes, only an intelligent search.

There was something about her that attracted him, from the British seriousness of her expression to her body that definitely deserved the word "sexy."The time of that glance was only a moment, but it was long enough for him to engrave every detail of her into his heart.

Back home life is business as usual, but Fanny has other plans this holiday season.Last year's "running away from home" was a good start, and she began to feel that it was not right to stay at home for more than two months.

"I want to go out and have a look this holiday. I will start when I finish my homework in August."

Regarding Fanny's opinion at the dinner table, the first reaction of the other two was to oppose it.Mrs. Conwell offered to take her two children on vacation, but was rejected; Smith offered to accompany her, but was again rejected.It didn't take long for the two of them to understand that the opposition was futile, but it was not easy for Mrs Conwell to let go after last year's scare, and things reached a deadlock.

Fanny lives as usual, only occasionally showing in some small things that she has not given up on this idea, and has been preparing for the trip.

There are still some changes. Now Fanny seldom brags to Smith about the wonderful life of a wizard, but Smith often asks Fanny about her new experiences.At this time, Fanny will state according to her own recollection without adding any more plots.Even so, her two years of experience were bizarre enough for a Muggle.

Observing carefully, Fanny discovered that the thrilling plots she made up for showing off did not only hurt Smith.Mrs. Conwell didn't say anything, but she was worried all the time. Fanny felt that her little experience of leaving home would cause such a big reaction in her, which was inseparable from those random stories.

Fortunately, the story of Fanny before leaving home last year was far from finished due to the "preparation" for too long.Those giant spiders in the back, the secret room, the ghosts in the book, and other things Fanny told Smith when Mrs. Conwell was at work.Imagine Mrs. Conwell's face when she heard that she ran into the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night and was almost eaten by a giant spider. Fanny ordered Smith to keep her mouth shut, lest she never go back to Hogwarts.

Smith's band is still working, its reputation is growing, and there are still special performances from time to time.Fanny learned from other band members that on the second day after she left, Smith confessed that he was also adopted by Mrs. Conwell from the orphanage. The subversive transformation from a "bad girl in a middle school" to a "gifted girl who studied abroad at a young age", and the details of which country and what she studied are all available, so she doesn't need to bother to lie.She readily accepted Smith's apology, but Fanny couldn't help but feel a little speechless about this strange style of remedy and her partner's improved ability to lie.

Due to her strong request, Fanny didn't mention Smith's little secret, lest he be laughed at by Joey.As a person who grew up in an orphanage where shamelessness is the only way to survive, Smith's face is really thin, and he is credulous and can't tell lies. He is the type that Fanny can't help.Perhaps it is because of the habit of being a hands-off shopkeeper, and Smith is responsible for the details and aftermath. Although Fanny always "covers" Smith, she is subconsciously used to the identity of Smith's "brother".

For Fanny, Smith has always been a partner who fought side by side, a friend and brother, and a person who relied on her.When she thinks that she is Fanny of Smith, she will unconsciously become confident and powerful, and at the same time, she will completely relax, because someone will always clean up the rest of the mess, and how messy and indecent she is in front of him In other words, the appearance of a rough image will not cause the slightest resentment and contempt.

There was always an unspeakable rapport between her and him, after that quarrel, and after both bodies were changing and realizing that they were unrelated boys and girls living together Some changes have been made, but nothing has been broken.Seeing that Smith has a girl she likes, Fanny can't tell whether she is disappointed or happy. She hopes that she and Smith can always be the same as before.

July passed quickly, and it was the end of the month.Fanny began to wonder if she had misjudged Mrs. Conwell's determination. If she used to pack her bag and go on the road regardless, now she would not set off unless Mrs. Conwell let her go.

Well, haven't you been here for the past few holidays?There's nothing wrong with living here for two months, you just can't stay. On the last day of July, Fanny comforted herself so much that she decided to give up the idea of ​​traveling.

Just at this moment, Mrs. Conwell knocked on her door.Looking at Fanny's expression, she knew that her wish had come true, but Mrs. Conwell seemed to have a lot to say, so the two went to Mrs. Conwell's room together.

There was a slender box on the bedside table, Fanny's eyes rested on it all of a sudden, it looked very familiar.Mrs. Conwell picked it up gently and lifted the lid.

Fanny knew the reason for the familiarity. Three years ago, she saw countless such boxes piled up in Ollivander's store.

"Oak and phoenix feathers, eleven and a quarter inches long. I begged my parents to buy it when I was 13, but it never worked as it should. It didn't respond at all in my hand , like an ordinary little stick. I should have known from then on that I would never be a witch."
