HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Blocked by heavy curtains and tall, tightly packed bookshelves, the light in the library seemed a little dim, the ceiling overhead was a little dim, and the air was filled with the unique smell of old paper and ink.

The originally spacious aisle in the middle was also filled with books, and the tower-like stacks were almost half a person tall. Cho Chang and Cedric were sitting in the corner. On the table were various books describing magical creatures or golden eggs.

He stretched out his hand and waved the wand gently, and a book on the high bookshelf obediently pulled out of the bookshelf and flew towards Qiu Zhang.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in the air and grabbed the book still floating in the air, then withdrew his hand.

Qiu Zhang's eyes were surprised for a moment. He immediately lowered his head and looked in the direction of the big palm. He saw a figure hiding in the darkness slowly stepping forward. Professor Moody with a strange mechanical magic eye and a ferocious expression slowly walked forward. Xu appeared in front of the two people.

"Professor Moody!"

Cedric looked up and saw the visitor, immediately stood up and bowed politely to say hello.

The relationship between Qiu Zhang and Moody has been extremely bad since they talked back in class. She really doesn't understand why Professor Moody suddenly came to them.

"Professor Moody."

Qiu Zhang frowned, cast suspicious eyes on Professor Moody, and nodded slightly in greeting.

Professor Moody just slowly raised the corners of his lips, showing his weird and terrifying smile, flipped the book in his hand casually, and then threw it away.

Qiu Zhang didn't have time to react. The book fell pitifully to the ground, and the pages inside were visible to the naked eye.

"Instead of staring at these useless books every day, it is better to take a bath and take a rest."

Qiu Zhang ignored it, curled his lips, squatted down with a dissatisfied expression, picked up the book and smoothed it out.

Cedric just nodded awkwardly at Professor Moody and smiled stiffly, seemingly not understanding what he meant.

Professor Moody didn't say anything more. His sharp magic eyes glanced around, staring at Qiu Zhang with unknown meaning, which seemed to be deliberately scary.

Qiu Zhang felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at. Just when she was about to ask Professor Moody something, he suddenly spoke on his own initiative and said some nonsense.

"Let's take a bubble bath... Golden Egg won't bring clues to you by itself."

After saying that, before Qiu Zhang could say anything, Professor Moody turned around and limped away quickly, leaning on his crutch. Cho Chang and Cedric were left looking at each other, thinking about Professor Moody's sudden and malicious concern.

"What does he mean? Do you have a good relationship with him?"

"No... do you have a good relationship with him?"

"How is that possible!" Qiu Zhang immediately shook his head in denial without thinking.

Indeed, with Professor Moody's gloomy look, there is probably no one more unpopular than Snape.

"Then why does he suddenly care about me for no reason?"

Cedric scratched his head in confusion, showing a rather puzzled expression, and tapped his temple with his index finger, as if he was trying hard to think about the relationship between himself and Professor Moody.

"The devil knows!"

Qiu Zhang didn't know anything. He piled the books in his hands randomly among the piles of books on the table, picked up the golden egg and knocked it next to his ear.

"Bath...golden egg...bath..."

Qiu Zhang kept muttering in his mouth, as if he had guessed something, but he couldn't quite believe it.

"What's wrong?"

Cedric saw that Qiu Zhang seemed to have noticed something on his brows, holding the golden egg and mumbling, so he couldn't help but get closer and ask.

"Sssss... Seid, maybe you'd like a hot bath tonight?"

Qiu Zhang raised his eyes to look at Cedric, with some expectation in his eyes. The deep dimples paired with the warm smile looked particularly cute and inexplicably reassuring.

"Ah."

……

……

At night, Qiu Zhang and Cedric agreed to meet in the prefect's bathroom on the sixth floor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the Ravenclaw lounge, he saw Cedric standing in the corner next to the Ravenclaw sculpture holding a golden egg, waiting.

His tall and upright figure stood in the empty corridor, his eyes casting towards the door of the lounge from time to time, patiently waiting for something.

"Autumn!"

Seeing Qiu Zhang's appearance, Cedric put a faint smile on his face and stretched out his hand to greet her. Qiu Zhang was also a little surprised that Cedric, who had clearly agreed to meet in the bathroom, would come to the lounge door in advance to wait for her.

"Ced."

Qiu Zhang's eyes flashed slightly and he looked at Cedric with bright eyes, his expression seemed a little excited and happy.

"When did you come here?"

"I've been here for a while..." Cedric replied, his expression gentle and patient.

Qiu Zhang immediately felt a little guilty, looking at Cedric with a trace of apology in his eyes.

"Ah...then you must have been waiting for a long time!"

"No, after all, girls always need time to clean up. I understand."

Cedric just shook his head gently to show his understanding. Looking at Qiu Zhang's apologetic brows, he reached out a hand and gently brushed Qiu Zhang's brow to smooth her expression.

Soon, the two of them took the golden egg on their way to the prefect's bathroom on the sixth floor.

Hogwarts was much quieter at night than on weekdays. Apart from the chatter of the portraits on the walls, there was no one around on the corridors and stairs.

When the two were about to reach the corridor on the fifth floor, Qiu Zhang suddenly pulled Cedric and hid him in the corner of the blind spot.

Cedric looked at Qiu Zhang's series of actions in confusion, but he still obediently held her hand and hid in the corner. Looking at Qiu Zhang who was so close, he cautiously glanced at the corridor outside from time to time, unable to bear to ask doubts.

"Qiu, what are we doing?"

"Mr. Filch likes to hang around the corridor on the fifth floor every Thursday night. I think he will be coming over soon..."

Qiu Zhang looked at the situation with serious analysis, and at the same time stretched out his hand to cover Cedric's mouth, which was still speaking loudly.

Feeling the warm skin touch from your lips, conveying the faint citrus scent from Qiu Zhang's body, is inexplicably addictive.

Cedric's vision was a little dazed, staring at Qiu Zhang's eyes in front of him. The black and white eyes were shining with gentle light, and he didn't think of reminding Qiu Zhang about the curfew.

"Okay, he's gone."

It wasn't until Mr. Filch passed by the two of them and left, and Cho Chang pulled Cedric out of the corner, that Cedric suddenly came back to his senses.

"Oh...hmm!"

Cedric held Qiu Zhang's hand, held it tightly, and followed Qiu Zhang as he continued upstairs.

"But...why did I feel that Mr. Filch was acting weird just now..."

Qiu Zhang scratched his head unconsciously, turning his head from time to time while walking up the stairs with a confused expression. Cedric shook his head helplessly and couldn't help laughing.

"Is there a possibility that although it is dark now, it is not the curfew time yet..."

Cedric's words seemed to wake up someone in a dream, Qiu Zhang's head suddenly buzzed, and his face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

Thinking of the strange look in Mr. Filch's eyes just now when he and Cedric were hiding in the corner, he finally understood that it turned out to be a look at a fool! ! !

"Ah...I was really confused. I just subconsciously hid."

Qiu Zhang covered his face with his hands to block his blushing face from embarrassment. She turned her back to Cedric, not wanting to face his teasing gaze.
