HP through the autumn

"Are you and Potter... are you still together?" Marietta looked at Qiu who was packing her luggage, and hesitated before she spoke.

Qiu: "Yes."

Marietta: "You read the report in the Daily Prophet while you were on vacation, right?"

"I've seen it," Cho replied, "but I still believe in Harry."

"He used the Patronus Charm in front of a Muggle during the summer vacation and was interrogated by the whole Wizengamot."

Qiu: "I know, he wrote to me."

"So you really believe there are dementors coming to the Muggle community?" Marietta asked incredulously.

"Very likely," she said, "you don't think Harry is showing off his Patronus Charm to Muggles, who don't even know what that is."

Marietta: "But then the Muggles will know he's special, and that's what he's always wanted to tell people. Since his first year, he's been a Seeker for the Quidditch team and protected the Philosopher's Stone." , speaks Parseltongue, destroyed a dark magic item, Godfather went from wanted man to hero, he became a warrior in fourth grade, and claimed that the man was back! He always felt that he should be the special one, the special one 'Savior'."

"It sounds very special," Qiu recalled Harry's four years of experience, "but he has been the most special one since he was one year old, the boy who survived, he doesn't need these to show his specialness. "

"He told the principal that the You-Know-Who is back," Marietta retorted. "That's exactly what he wanted to show that he was special, because he was the only one who defeated that man and made him disappear. If the You-Know-Who came back, everyone would Focus on him."

"There is also the principal," Marietta continued, "he has taken special care of Potter since he entered the school. The first grade allowed Potter to break into the team and praised him for protecting the Philosopher's Stone. The second grade took Potter to destroy the Sorcerer's Stone." Dark magic items, maybe Digory, Delacour and Krum were all secretly stunned by the headmaster, just to give his beloved Potter boy a good chance to show off."

They sound a bit like the ADHP couple, Qiu's thoughts wandered for a second.

Marietta looked at her seriously: "Qiu, do you really want to be with Potter?"

Now it's a bit of a lily trend again.

Qiu Qing cleared her throat: "I have no plans to break up yet."

"What do you like about him?" Marietta asked, "Roger, the captain of our academy team, he is a hundred times better than Potter, and the Weasley brothers in Gryffindor are also good, why do you Must be with such a dangerous boy? He was interrogated by the Wizengamot! He might be sent to Azkaban before graduation."

"Love, that's how it is without any reason." She joked, and then said sternly, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but in my eyes, Harry is really not a pushy person. I know him, and I'm sure I know him well. Of course I'd trust Harry more than the reports you're talking about were written by people who didn't know him at all."

Marietta shook her head helplessly: "Okay, I've already reminded you. Since you insist on continuing to be with such a boy, I have nothing to say."

She turned her head and started packing her luggage.

"Thank you for reminding me." Qiu said looking at her back.

Marietta didn't look back.

On Monday morning, Qiu left the dormitory and went to the hall to have breakfast. Marietta's curtains were still tightly closed, and a pair of slippers randomly placed in front of the bed proved that the master had not left.

The sky outside the bedroom window was gloomy, and the raindrops made the window a mess, making it impossible to see what was outside.

There weren't many people at the Ravenclaw table yet, and Professor Flitwick was handing out timetables to the students.

"You did really well in your OWLs," he said in a high-pitched voice. "You can take advanced classes in all subjects, except of course Divination, Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies."

They both laughed together.

"So are there any courses you don't want to continue studying?" Professor Flitwick asked holding the timetable.

"History of Magic," Qiu couldn't wait to announce the name of the subject, "and astronomy."

"A pragmatist through and through," said Professor Flitwick, pointing his wand at the timetable. "You've been wanting to get rid of those two subjects for a long time, haven't you?"

"I have been looking forward to today since the first grade."

Professor Flitwick smiled and handed her the timetable.

She took the schedule and found that she had a Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Monday morning, and Charms and Ancient Runes in the afternoon.

It was bad luck to have to face Umbridge on the first day of school, and she remembered being a terrible teacher.

Umbridge did not disappoint her at all, and they repeated "Good morning, Professor Umbridge" three or four times before the class began to completely satisfy Umbridge.

"You all did very well in Defense Against the Dark Arts on your OWLs," she said sweetly, "but your studies have been intermittent the past few years, with teachers constantly being changed, and I think your studies need to be more systematic Only then can you prepare for the next NEWT exam."

She tapped on the blackboard, where the three goals of the class appeared.

The students spent a few minutes copying down a few objectives for the class, then stared blankly at their textbooks, the only sound in the classroom being the rustle of pages being turned.

Qiu felt her head keep falling on the table, and she didn't understand a single word in the book, and the quill in her hand was marking dots of ink on the textbook.A sweet dream called her, and 10 minutes later, she was still turning the first page.

"Have you all finished it now?" Umbridge's shrill voice brought her back to reality, and she glanced at Laurie's textbook to her right, trying to figure out what page she was supposed to be reading.

Laurie didn't disappoint her at all. Both of their brand new textbooks were spread out on the first page. The only difference was that hers had a few extra spots of ink on it.

Only a few classmates answered Umbridge's questions, which made her very dissatisfied.

"Have you all finished? Answer me loudly, students." She tapped on the blackboard.

"It's over, Professor Umbridge." All the students, whether they had finished or not, replied in unison.

"Very well, let me explain the content of this chapter..." Umbridge began to speak in her girlish voice without substance.

The heavy rain outside the window washes against the classroom windows, and the patter of rain makes falling asleep during class a particularly easy task.Qiu stared at the textbook with dull eyes, struggling with drowsiness.

The letters in the textbook twisted and spun before her eyes, and Umbridge's voice seemed to come from far away in the sky, ethereal and unreal.She didn't understand a single word, but felt that the table in front of her was calling her, urging her to put her head on it and have a good sleep...

"I didn't expect to welcome Professor Umbridge just after I got rid of Professor Binns." Qiu said to Laurie with a yawn. "It seems that I have to fall asleep in a class."

They were walking through the corridor connecting tower to tower, and the cold wind blowing in from the window made them quicken their pace.

"I actually fell asleep at the end," Laurie said. "Did she do her homework?"

"Probably not," Qiu thought about it, "I don't remember her mentioning it."

Laurie became cheerful: "It seems that our new teacher still has some merits, at least she doesn't assign much homework."

Qiu Chao looked at the weather outside the window, and the rain didn't stop.She saw the three of Harry standing in a corner of the yard sheltering from the rain.

"I'm going to find Harry." She pointed to the courtyard downstairs and said goodbye to Laurie. "Go to your divination class."

"Hey! Harry!" she came round the corner towards them. "Guess what I found in my pocket yesterday?"

"What?" Harry asked knowingly.

"A few chocolate frogs, how do you think they got into my pocket?"

"Probably jumped in by itself, you know, they're chocolate frogs," said Harry.

Ron couldn't help laughing beside him, but when Hermione glared at him, he had to suppress his smile again, and it was very hard to endure it.

"I've just finished Defense Against the Dark Arts class," she recalled her purpose, "You must not confront Umbridge during class, just pretend you didn't hear anything."

"What's her class like?" Hermione asked eagerly.

"You are not allowed to use wands, and you are not allowed to use magic. You can only read books and learn boring theories." She replied, "The attitude of the Ministry of Magic is obvious. They don't want Harry and the headmaster to tell the students that the mysterious man is back."

"So Harry, promise me you won't argue with Umbridge," she turned to Harry again, "just ignore her."

"I promise." Harry held up his right hand.

She felt relieved: "How was life when you just started school?"

"My roommate Seamus thinks I'm out of my mind," Harry said bluntly. "I ran into a group of fourth-year Ravenclaws this morning, and they huddled up when they saw me, as if I'd be alone. It's as if it's pretentious. It's not right for me to say that, my girlfriend is a Ravenclaw prefect, and I'm sure I'll be nice to them so they can say good things about me to my girlfriend."

His words made Ron want to laugh again, and he had to bear it under Hermione's stare.

"Find me in the Room of Requirement at night, old time." Qiu told him with a smile, and waved his hand to say goodbye to them.

It was really hard for Harry to keep silent during Umbridge's lessons.Every sentence of Umbridge challenged his nerves. What does it mean "as long as you have learned the theory very solidly, there is no reason why you can't cast spells under strictly controlled examination conditions"?Did she expect them to memorize boring theories for a semester, and then they would magically perform them smoothly in the exams?

If Harry knew that Chinese parents asked their children not to fall in love when they were in school, and started urging them to marry and have children as soon as they graduated, he would definitely resonate with these children.Do they expect their children to never learn to fall in love, but as soon as they graduate, they can quickly find a suitable marriage partner, learn how to get along with their lovers, start a family and take on the responsibility of being parents?

If he hadn't promised his girlfriend not to run afoul of Umbridge, he would have raised his hand and told Umbridge how dangerous the world outside Hogwarts was, Harry thought.

With his schoolbag on his back, he listened to the rain pattering on the window glass, and in his mind he was still fantasizing about how he should fight Umbridge and make Umbridge speechless.After watching the argument between Hermione and Umbridge live, he clearly understood that this was just his beautiful fantasy.

Sighing slightly, he put all these troublesome things behind him, and now he is going on a date with his girlfriend.

Pushing open the door of the Response Room, Harry saw Cho rushing towards him with a smile, throwing herself into his arms enthusiastically, coiling herself on top of him like an octopus.

The bad mood brought by Umbridge and Seamus, as well as the constant irritability during the holiday disappeared instantly, and the corners of his mouth wanted to curl up uncontrollably.

"Good evening, another super handsome boyfriend today!" She put a kiss on the left and right sides of his face.

"Good evening, my girlfriend who is also super beautiful today." Harry hugged her waist tightly to prevent her from falling.

The waist is so thin, and it seems to be very soft... He restrained his thoughts from running around and told himself not to think wildly.

"I miss you every day during the summer vacation." She directed Harry to put her on the sofa, and the two sat side by side.

"Me too." He leaned into her ear and said, "But have you forgotten something important?"

"It doesn't seem like it?" She pretended to think, "Is it this?"

She pushed back the broken hair on his forehead and kissed him on the forehead.

"No," said Harry, laughing, "not this."

"That's this?"

She dropped a kiss on his eye.

Harry shook his head.

She kissed him on the chin again: "Is this it?"

"No."

"That must be this!"

She kissed him lightly on the lips, tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.

"No." Harry continued shaking his head.

"What is that?" She was very surprised.

He put his arms around her waist, and a stronger and more intimate kiss fell on her lips. The words he said melted between his lips and teeth, tender and lingering.

"it is this."

After the kiss was over, Qiu blinked and looked at him warily.

Maybe it's because they haven't seen each other for so long, but she always feels that Harry's kiss is different from before, becoming more... stronger?

"I almost forgot that I have so many things to tell you." She leaned her head on his chest and complained, "Are you unhappy yesterday because you didn't become a prefect?"

"A little, but only a little."

"Don't worry, you will always be the best in my eyes," she said, teasing him deliberately, "and one prefect is enough for a family."

"That's right, my prefect."

She sat up straight and looked seriously at Harry beside her... After not seeing him for a summer vacation, he was able to flirt with her without blushing or beating heartbeat.

"By the way, I'm going to start a potion experiment tomorrow." She retracted into his arms again, and Harry hugged her smoothly. "I decided to boil the potion in the kitchen, and I won't be able to find it later." If you come to me, go to the kitchen and have a look."

"Why not stay in the Requirement Room?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Because if the Room of Requirement is being used, other people will not be able to use this room." She said lazily, "I must always check the progress of the potion brewing. If the room of Response is always occupied, then you and What about Ron and Hermione?"

Harry nodded: "I will often find you in the kitchen."

"Speaking of potions," she took out a bag of gold Galleons from her schoolbag, "here are the ten Galleons I gave you back, and I used the rest of the money to buy potion ingredients. When I get enough money I'll give it back to you."

Harry took the gold coin, and his unreliable speculation about her family's bankruptcy was dispelled: "You don't need to return it to me in a hurry."

"Because I've mortgaged myself to you?"

Harry touched her face: "So it doesn't matter if you don't pay back the money, I'm happy to accept the collateral."

"I think you've changed a lot this summer, Harry." She pinched his face suspiciously. "Are you being pretended by someone else?"

"I just learned something." Harry smiled smugly.Some of the tips Sirius provided for his family during the summer vacation were really useful.

The author has something to say:

Sleepiness in class comes from personal experience

Harry's turnaround day is imminent
