HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

It was still an ordinary day. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were gathering in the greenhouse for Professor Sprout's Herbology class.

In the foggy greenhouse, a strange-shaped potted plant was placed in front of each student on the long wooden table. The vines of the plant inside were flying wildly, and the sharp stingers on it secreted thick, black poisonous juice.

"Very good, everyone must be careful, wear protective gloves, and treat them patiently..."

Professor Sprout had a gratified and kind smile on his face. He looked at the outstanding students and nodded. He also patiently comforted some nervous students who made mistakes in their movements.

"Holy shit, what are the consequences of being splashed with poisonous juice?"

Marietta nervously grasped a few canes with her fingers, feeling inexplicably frightened.

"Did the sting touch you?"

Cho Chang immediately put down what he was doing and looked worriedly at Marietta's gloved hands to see if there were any wounds.

"Oh, I'm fine, I'm just a little scared..."

"Indeed, it's just a sting, how can we Marietta be afraid? Haha!"

Almost as soon as Marietta finished speaking, Luke's inexplicably sarcastic and awkward words came out, and his face was wrinkled. Although his words were not polite, his eyes still looked a little worried. Falling into Marietta's hands.

"What's up with him?"

Qiu Zhang was confused, and moved his shoulder closer to Marietta. While carefully looking at Luke, he raised his eyebrows and asked Marietta with a gossipy expression.

"Hmph! He is just jealous. A man is afraid of something as small as a cockroach. What right does he have to criticize me here!"

Marietta also unceremoniously uncovered Luke's shorts. Luke immediately nervously wanted to cover Marietta's mouth, but when he thought of the poison on his gloves, he immediately retracted his hand and glared with that vicious look. Marietta.

Now Qiu Zhang understands that it is just a daily quarrel between young lovers. It is really childish...

"Qiu, do you think he is too timid..."

"Qiu, it's obvious that she doesn't know how to consider my feelings!"

"Autumn……"

"Oh oh la la... I don't understand, I don't understand..."

Qiu Zhang immediately changed places with Cedric next to her impatiently, isolating her from the unnecessary arguments with the bickering couple.

"Hey! Cedric, are you saying that a tall, erect man is afraid of even a cockroach? Is it normal?"

Marietta seemed to have found a new person to talk to. She pulled Cedric's sleeve and asked. Cedric froze in embarrassment while still extracting the poisonous juice from the plant. He slowly raised his head and looked at Marie. Luke's exaggerated gesture of making a cross with his hands and Cedric's gesture behind him made him not sure what to say in response.

"Forehead……"

"Okay, okay, your bickering shouldn't involve Cedric who has done his homework seriously!"

Cho Chang stretched out his hand to stand between Cedric, who was at a loss, and Marietta, who wanted to ask more questions. He took Cedric's hand and asked him to turn around to face him and continue his work.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Okay, okay, I won't ask about your Ced~"

Luke crossed his arms and shook his shoulders numbly, imitating Qiu Chang's voice in an exaggerated way, so girlishly that Marietta wanted to slap him.

"Pfft!"

Qiu Zhang and Cedric couldn't help laughing for a moment. They looked at each other and saw the joking and teasing in each other's eyes.

"bang bang bang..."

Suddenly, a knock on the door of the greenhouse interrupted the leisurely banter of several people.

"Oh, please come in!"

Professor Sprout walked from the podium at the front of the long table to the door of the greenhouse and opened the door.

It turned out to be Justin Finch-Fletchley. He nodded politely to Professor Sprout and said hello. Then he looked across the entire greenhouse to the students, and immediately locked on Cedric, and smiled excitedly. .

"It seems you are busy with something..."

Cho Chang bumped Cedric's shoulder and looked at him jokingly. Cedric just smiled sheepishly and shook his head slowly.

"It's nothing, I should..."

Professor Sprout also looked at this fourth-grade classmate who inexplicably broke into the sixth-grade herbal medicine class with some confusion, and was a little confused about his purpose.

"Excuse me, is there something important? After all, Fin-Reli, you can obviously notice that we are still in class!"

Professor Sprout, who has always been strict with his courses, was not very satisfied with Justin Finch-Fletchley's sudden performance.

"Oh, sorry, Professor Sprout, I'm here to see Cedric. He may have to go back to the castle with me."

Justin was also a little embarrassed and bowed apologetically to Professor Sprout. Seeing Professor Sprout's obviously serious and unhappy expression, he immediately nervously raised his hand and pointed at Cedric to explain.

"Mr. Buckman asked them to go, I mean all the warriors are going...it seems to be taking pictures or checking wands or something..."

Justin's tone was a little nervous, and he squeezed his sleeves nervously to explain to Professor Sprout. The professor just sighed slowly and looked at Cedric, who was still grabbing the poisonous plants that kept scurrying around on the long table. , raised his hand to signal.

"Go, go, remember to come back and finish your homework."

"Okay, Professor."

Cedric nodded, slowly took off his gas-proof gloves, looked at Qiu Zhang, held Qiu Zhang's shoulders and hugged Qiu Zhang, and then waved goodbye to her.

"Then I'll go first."

"Ah."

Qiu Zhang nodded and took the initiative to hug Cedric back. He avoided touching Cedric's hand with his gas-proof gloves and gently bumped Cedric's back with his elbow to indicate that he understood.

"Go."

Soon, Cedric and Justin left the greenhouse until they completely disappeared from Qiu Zhang's sight.

And the students around the long table in the greenhouse began to discuss excitedly what would happen to Cedric and the warriors...

Until Professor Sprout couldn't stand it anymore and clapped his hands to successfully divert everyone's attention.

"I haven't reminded you yet. Remember to collect 10 bottles of poisonous juice before get out of class ends!"

The students immediately stopped gossiping and chatting, and started to complete the task targets seriously while wearing gas-proof gloves.

……

……

Cedric on the other side quickly returned to the castle under the leadership of Justin and came to a small-looking classroom.

When he opened the door and went in, he saw that several warriors were almost in place. Krum stood in the corner solemnly and gloomily, as if he would not allow strangers to approach him. Fleur was chatting with a lady wearing a greasy magenta suit and glasses. In addition to myself, Harry Potter was probably the only one who was not present.

"Digory!"

When Fleur saw Cedric arriving, she immediately gathered around him in a familiar manner. He was probably the only normal person among the warriors present who seemed to be a gentle gentleman and easy to communicate with.

Cedric nodded politely to Fleur, and before he could say anything, the door creaked and was slowly pushed open, and the last warrior, Harry Potter, finally arrived.

Mr. Bachman suddenly stepped forward, looked at the four warriors gathered together, nodded with pleasure and spoke with a smile.

"Oh! Very good, everyone is here, then we can prepare for the wand testing ceremony!"

Among them, Harry Potter looked a little surprised and confused. Apparently he was the only one among the warriors present who didn't know much about the specific history and rules of the Triwizard Tournament. He seemed a little ignorant and reckless.

"They need to check that the performance of our wands is intact. After all, the wand is your most important weapon in the competition!"

Cedric approached Harry thoughtfully and whispered in his ear. Harry nodded in understanding.

But before the wand could be checked, the exaggerated-looking witch with jeweled glasses and her whole body smelling of strong perfume dragged Harry into the small broom room.

"Well, it looks like Ms. Rita Skeeter has some questions of interest that require an interview with Potter, so let's get started."

In a dim corner, an old wizard with gray hair and gray eyes that looked cloudy but were sharp walked out slowly.

It's Mr. Ollivander!

Cedric felt surprised and looked at Mr. Ollivander with wide eyes.

"Please allow me to introduce you to Mr. Ollivander. He will ensure that your wand is in good condition before the game."

Perhaps Mr. Ollivander noticed Cedric's slightly excited expression. He winked at Cedric quietly and playfully, and then calmly walked to the open space in the middle of the room.

"Perhaps you would like to come first, Mr. Diggory."

Cedric immediately ran forward and handed his wand to Mr. Ollivander.

"Oh yes, this is my masterpiece. Ash tree, 12 and 4/1, very springy. ... I plucked the unicorn's tail hair and it almost poked me with its horn. !”

Mr. Ollivander held the wand in both hands and waved it, squeezing it and looking very satisfied.

"It's in excellent condition. It looks like you take good care of it!"

"Qiu just wiped it for me this morning. He said that the wand in good condition would definitely be useful, and now it seems that it is indeed the case!"

Cedric grinned, as if he had thought of something that pleased him. Mr. Ollivander just nodded slowly with an expression of realization, a faint smile on his lips.

"Qiu, I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time seemed to be when school started last year..."

"Indeed, the tragedy of the Quidditch World Cup during the summer vacation really scared us all. I heard that even the teaching materials and equipment were purchased for her by their house elves."

Cedric nodded affirmatively and explained to Mr. Ollivander, his eyes bright and a little excited.

"Maybe you can meet Qiu Zhang after class later..."

"Maybe, maybe. After all, checking wands is quick..."

Mr. Ollivander nodded slowly in agreement, but it was obvious that he had no intention of staying any longer.

……

……

The bell that signaled the end of get out of class rang. Professor Sprout checked the poison juice collected by everyone one by one, and finally let the students go and left the greenhouse without worries.

Almost as soon as he left the greenhouse, Qiu Zhang ran quickly towards the castle without stopping.

"Autumn!"

Cedric ran out of the castle and immediately saw Qiu Zhang walking from the direction of the greenhouse. He immediately raised his hands high and waved hello.

"Hey, you'd never guess who Professor Dumbledore asked to come and test our wands—"

Cedric deliberately put it off and paused in speaking, looking at Qiu Zhang's excited and excited tone.

"who is it?"

Qiu Zhang tilted his head in confusion, holding Cedric's arm with eyes eager and full of novel expectations.

"It's Mr. Ollivander! Do you dare to think..."

"Mr. Ollivander!"

Qiu Zhang immediately stopped. This sudden movement made Cedric, who was holding Qiu Zhang tightly, also pause, and suddenly stopped walking towards the castle.

"Yes, if you want to see him, you should be able to catch up if you run faster now..."

Cedric noticed carefully that Qiu Zhang's expression was slightly excited and he looked a little nervous.

"Oh! You're right, I have to go see him!"

Qiu Zhang let go of Cedric's hand, nodded to him, then immediately turned around and stepped out of the door, running away from Hogwarts.

……

Qiu Zhang was still holding the book in his hand, and his neatly combed black hair was blown away by the breeze while running, dancing in the air.

Soon, we arrived in front of the large and heavy gate to the train station. A dull and solemn round copper bell swayed rhythmically in front of the door. An old and bowed figure with steady steps followed the swing of the bell. It appears in Qiu Zhang's eyes from time to time and is about to leave.

"Mr. Ollivander!"

Qiu Zhang called anxiously, and the figure in front of him finally paused and stopped.

"Qiu, it's you."

"Well, I heard Cedric say you were here, and I just wanted to say hello to you."

Qiu Zhang crossed the swinging bell and walked to Mr. Ollivander, his expression somewhat excited and excited. Fortunately, he caught up.

"Don't worry, isn't it time to catch up? It's not like we won't see you again..."

Mr. Ollivander smiled easily and patted Qiu Zhang on the shoulder to tell her to take a deep breath to calm her rapid breathing after running violently.

Suddenly, Mr. Ollivander seemed to notice something, and his eyes caught a glimpse of the books in Qiu Zhang's arms. The top one was the spell book he had given to Qiu Zhang.

"Oh! It seems you have studied this book carefully!"

Mr. Ollivander nodded with some relief, the corners of his mouth raised with a satisfied smile, and there seemed to be a little glimmer of light in Qiu Zhang's cloudy and gray eyes.

"Yes! Yes, that's right. In fact, it has helped me a lot...I really thank you, Mr. Ollivander!"

Qiu Zhang realized where Mr. Ollivander's gaze was lingering, and his hand holding the book tightened, and he looked at Mr. Ollivander with grateful eyes and sincerely thanked him.

"No, this book is just a gift from me. How to learn from it is your own talent and ability!"

Mr. Ollivander's tone was calm and hoarse, and his cloudy eyes seemed to see through everything. Qiu Zhang felt a little panicked for no reason, and stiffly raised the corners of his lips.

"Maybe you can come and help me on Christmas. This year, students from three schools are causing trouble everywhere. If there is any small problem with the wand, they come to me. It makes me really busy and panicked..."

"It's not Mr. Ollivander's fame that makes everyone interested in you!"

Qiu Zhang responded immediately, looking at Ollivander's somewhat meaningful eyes, showing a cute smile and couldn't help but praise.

"Stop teasing me, a little old man..."

Mr. Ollivander shook his head helplessly, looked at Qiu Zhang and sighed with a slight smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ollivander, I will definitely go."

Qiu Zhang also smiled sheepishly, bowed slightly towards Mr. Ollivander, and waved goodbye to him.

"Let's go. You should go and do your work. Don't you have to go to class?"

Mr. Ollivander waved his hand, turned around and left quickly without stopping.
