"Well, I also have a library at home. I want to see if there are any books in the Hogwarts library that I haven't seen at home."

Not seeing Hermione, Kate started talking nonsense with her eyes open.

After hearing this, Qiu Zhang asked in surprise, "Your family also has a library? How many books are there? Can I go and have a look?"

"I haven't counted them carefully." Kate scratched her face guiltyly, then smiled again, "But during the summer vacation, you can come to my house to have a look."

"Then it's settled, I will definitely come to visit during the summer vacation!" Qiu Zhang rolled his eyes with a smile, and the two of them leaned against the bookshelf and chatted in a low voice.

While Kate was having a pleasant conversation with her, but she didn't notice, behind the bookshelf she was leaning on, a black and red figure rushed away angrily.

Chapter 24 Cho Chang's "Confession"

After all, the library is not a place outside the law. The two didn't talk for long, and the librarian Mrs. Pince found them following the voice.

In this way, the little eagle and the little snake were driven out together.

Until they were kicked out of the library, the somewhat embarrassed two looked at each other, and then laughed tacitly at the same time.

"I'm so happy to meet you, I even forgot that this is a library." Qiu Zhang shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile.

Kate was also laughing, but was stunned when she heard her words: "Glad to meet me? Why?"

She and Qiu Zhang seem to have met only a few times.

Generally speaking, reserved Chinese people would refer to this kind of acquaintance who does not know each other deeply as nodding acquaintances.

As the name suggests, when you encounter them, you just nod at most, and you don't have anything to say at all.

Could it be that Qiu Zhang was also the one who was isolated in the academy?

Should not be ah.

In terms of beauty and knowledge, even in Yingyuan, Qiu Zhang is the only one there, right?

Kate was still guessing secretly, when she saw Qiu Zhang blushing, and a shy smile appeared on his childish face.

"Because I like Kate very much."

"……what?"

Facing a 12-year-old girl, Kate certainly wouldn't think of the topic as an adult.

It was just this answer that still surprised her.

Qiu Zhang looked at her with a smile: "I said that I like you very much. Even if I only met a few times, there is a feeling of instant hit-time."

In fact, Qiu Zhang couldn't figure it out himself.

When she met Kate for the first time, she was already attracted by that delicate-looking, friendly and polite girl.

But such a girl couldn't go to Hogwarts with her.

Throughout last year, when Qiu Zhang was at Hogwarts, he would unconsciously think of the girl he met in Diagon Alley.

She would think how much better Kate would be here if she had enrolled.

She would also think that Kate was alone, and could only imagine how lonely it would be when her peers were laughing and playing at Hogwarts, but she herself was studying alone because of her poor health.

Could it be that when Kate was crying alone in the room, no one came to comfort her?

Whenever he thinks of the lonely figure in his fantasy when he is happy, Qiu Zhang has the illusion that the current happiness does not seem to be that happy.

So the next year, when she saw the silver-haired girl again in Diagon Alley and learned that she could finally go to school, the joy in her heart almost overflowed her chest.

Even after seeing Kate at the sorting ceremony and learning that she won't be in second year, she didn't feel bad about it.

As long as Kate can come to school, she is very happy.

"By the way, since you have come to school, you should be fine, right?" She recalled Kate's words before and hurriedly asked.

Still immersed in the complex emotions of being suspected of being confessed, Kate twitched her cheeks and nodded vaguely: "Well... it's probably okay."

In addition to the need to undergo a physical examination every month.

"That's good," Qiu Zhang rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand to her, "Although it's a year late, I'm glad you can enroll, classmate Kate."

Looking at the friendly girl in front of her, Kate reluctantly put aside the inexplicable guesses in her mind, and held her back generously.

"Actually, you should call me junior now."

She blinked and said with a relaxed face.

Qiu Zhang couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, then raised her hand to stroke her soft hair: "Okay, Junior Kate."

……

I have to say that chatting with people from Ravenclaw College is really enjoyable, and Qiu Zhang's rich knowledge base is enough to cover most of Kate's topics.

The two chatted while running in the corridors of the castle. It was only before dinner that they realized the passage of time.

Qiu Zhang was also very considerate of her, knowing that the Snake Court had some xenophobic traditions, so he sent her to the entrance of the hall and left.

When Kate sat down at the long table in Slytherin and was about to have dinner, she saw Hermione hurriedly get up from the long table of Gryffindor holding the book.

He left without even giving her a look.

Kate blinked in a daze, why did she feel that Hermione seemed more angry than before?

Someone in Gryffindor bullied her?

Almost immediately, Kate thought of a certain freckled boy in the Iron Triangle.

In the original book, before the Iron Triangle was baptized by the troll incident, Ron was not very friendly to Hermione.

Turning her eyes to the red-haired boy who was still eating hazel, Kate narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

"Hey, Safik," Malfoy led his little brothers across from her swaggeringly, "do you want to go to Gryffindor so much? Are you even staring there for dinner?"

Shut up Xiaolongren, she doesn't have time to make fun now.

Kate turned her head and looked at him calmly.

For some reason, the smile on Malfoy's face stiffened with her gaze.

After a while, he stiffened his neck: "You...what are you looking at!"

Don't think that you can do whatever you want with scary eyes!

Kate chuckled and lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the table full of food, she lost her appetite for a moment.

Immediately ignoring Malfoy's sternness, he got up and walked to the Gryffindor long table.

Harry and Ron were still cooking, when they caught sight of her coming from the corner of their eyes, they raised their heads quickly, so anxious that they didn't even have time to wipe their mouths.

Still thinking about the unpleasantness that his friend had caused Kate before, Harry put his hand under the table and lightly pinched Ron's leg.

He raised his head again and asked, "Student Shafik, what's the matter with you?"

Ron was stunned by the pinch, and immediately jumped up from the bench: "Yes, yes! Safik, I have something to think about..."

He held back, and didn't hold back the second half of the sentence for a long time.

Kate completely ignored his behavior at the moment, and asked in a low voice, "Hermione is in a bad mood today?"

Harry was taken aback: "Why do you ask that?"

"She earned fifteen points for Gryffindor in class today, how could she be in a bad mood."

As soon as she was mentioned, Ron sat back with a speechless face.

Obviously, he wasn't happy with Hermione's show of showing off.

Kate frowned slightly.

That's weird, no one messed with Hermione, so why does the little guy look more angry than during the day?

She didn't want to listen to Ron's complaints anymore, and hurried out of the hall without even eating.

"Footprints appear!"

He pulled out his wand and muttered softly at the entrance of the hall, and a shimmering footprint immediately appeared on the ground.

The Tracking Spell is of the same origin as the Tracking Spell that Newt once used.

The difference is that tracking spells show traces of recent magical activity in an area.

The tracking spell can display traces of non-magical activities, but the disadvantage is that it can only query activities within 5 minutes, and cannot be displayed beyond the time.

Following the footprints, Kate followed all the way.

Chapter 25 Fox really is a female

Kate followed the footprints all the way to the Gryffindor tower, and was slightly relieved when she saw the footprints extending into the Gryffindor lounge from a distance.

After confirming that Hermione is safe, there is no need to chase into the lounges of other colleges to apologize.

She retracted her wand, only to realize that she followed her footprints from the first floor to the eighth floor.

Goodfellas, the Gryffindor lounge and the Slytherin lounge, one in the tower on the eighth floor, and one in the dungeon at the bottom of the lake.

It is indeed far enough apart.

She sighed helplessly, and on the way back along the same route, she met many Gryffindor students who were joking and walking this way.

Everyone looked at her with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a giant monster.

Kate could only pretend that she didn't see it, and walked down the stairs quickly until she reached the second floor, and saw Professor McGonagall walking from the direction of the office.

"Miss Safik, I'm going to send Professor Snape to find you."

Mag was a little surprised that she appeared here: "It's just right, come with me first."

Kate was taken aback, "Professor, what can I do?"

She was going back to practice Occlumency again.

"It's not me, it's Principal Dumbledore looking for you, he said you should know why." McGonagall answered briefly with some patience towards her.

Uh... It's only the second day of school, and Dumbledore can't wait to find her...

Probably Snape finally came to his senses after punishing Wilson.

Kate was silent, and had to follow Professor McGonagall up to the eighth floor again.

In the process of going upstairs, I even felt that if I kept climbing up and down the stairs like this every day, then my physical strength would definitely be good in the future.

At the end, Kate was sweating a little on her forehead,

Just in time, Mag also stopped in front of an extremely ugly huge stone monster, and whispered to it: "Donut."

The monster suddenly came to life, jumped aside, and the wall behind it split in two.

Behind the wall is a spiral staircase that is slowly moving upwards.

As soon as they stepped up, they heard a bang behind them, and the wall closed again, as if they were taking an elevator. Kate stood in it, rising higher and higher with the spiral staircase.

Only at last did she see a gleaming oak door with a brass knocker in the shape of a griffin.

Stepping out of the stone ladder, Professor McGonagall knocked on the door, and the door in front of him opened silently.

"Go in, he'll be waiting for you inside." McGonagall ordered softly, and then left her alone.

Kate stopped at the door, and couldn't help recalling the only two experiences she had with Dumbledore in her mind.

To be honest, she was really afraid of the legendary White Demon King.

He was so afraid that he had to choose Occlumency, for fear that the other party would spy on some secrets without him noticing.

This alone is already terrifying, not to mention Dumbledore's strength enough to intimidate Voldemort.

This is the wife of the first Dark Lord, and the teacher of the second Dark Lord!

Even Voldemort is afraid of him, so why can't she be afraid of him!

Taking a deep breath, Kate tried to calm down and walked in quickly.

Similar to the scene shown in the movie, the walls here are covered with portraits of past principals, and there are many strange silverware on the table with slender legs.

Kate looked around curiously, saw the Sorting Hat, and saw a large scarlet bird perched on a tall gilded perch.
