HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

After Wood brought Qiu Zhang back that night, Qiu Zhang and Wood got on the train home for Christmas the next day, without even giving Qiu Zhang and Cedric a chance to say goodbye...

……Christmas……

"Qiu, Mr. Wood is coming to visit tonight, can you help me decorate the Christmas tree?"

My mother pointed her wand at her throat in the living room, cast a voice-raising spell, and called out to Qiu Zhang's bedroom on the second floor.

"Coming!"

Qiu Zhang responded loudly, wrapped the letter he addressed to Cedric in a Christmas gift box together with the gift, handed it to the chirping owl, patted his butt and let it fly away, and then quickly went downstairs.

After decorating the Christmas tree and cleaning the house with his mother, it was soon time for the Christmas Eve dinner, and Wood and Mrs. Wood arrived at Qiu Zhang's house on time.

"Oh, it's been so long!"

Mother stepped forward with a smile on her face and hugged Mrs. Wood and Mr. Wood to welcome them.

"Oh my God, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you went to China to look for some magical creatures not long ago..."

Mrs. Wood looked calm and began to reminisce with Qiu Zhang's mother. Behind her, Mr. Wood looked expectantly, as if he was very interested in the magical creatures from ancient China that Qiu Zhang's mother had seen.

"Of course, we will talk about it in detail, come on in!"

Qiu Zhang looked behind Mr. and Mrs. Wood, and couldn't help but feel confused when he didn't see that familiar figure.

"Qiu, Wood is in the garden, maybe you want to go and play with him?"

Mrs. Wood noticed Qiu Zhang's gaze carefully and spoke thoughtfully. When Qiu Zhang heard the answer he wanted, he nodded obediently, said goodbye to Mrs. Wood and Mr. Wood, and went to the garden to find Wood.

"Don't forget to come back on time at 9 o'clock!"

His mother warned him from behind, and Qiu Zhang nodded casually to show his understanding.

……garden……

There were only a few scattered lights in the gray sky, but Qiu Zhang could still catch a glimpse of the figure flying in circles on a broom in the sky.

Qiu Zhang immediately cast a flying spell to summon his broom, mounted his broom and chased after him.

"Oliver!"

Hearing the familiar call, Wood immediately turned and flew away in a panic. Behind him, Qiu Zhang angrily accelerated and swooped up, and soon he was eye level with Wood.

"Listen to me, I didn't care about Cedric's business that day. It was me who insisted..."

Before he finished speaking, Wood couldn't forget himself. He suddenly turned around and flew away from Qiu Zhang's figure. Seeing this, Qiu Zhang became even more angry. He turned around and controlled the broom to chase after Wood's broom until he was almost level with Wood's broom. He jumped up and sat down on Wood's broom. Wood was so shocked that he immediately reached behind his back and hugged Qiu Zhang tightly. He didn't let out a sigh of relief until he confirmed Qiu Zhang's safety.

"You're crazy! Sometimes I really wonder if you were assigned to the wrong hospital!"

Qiu Zhang shook his head in disapproval, brushed away the wind-blown hair from his mouth, and responded seriously.

"Nono, people themselves are complicated. I can be passionate about knowledge, brave, sincere and loyal to others, and I can also be clever from time to time to get my goals... Everyone will have different behaviors, but no one will have only one behavior. !You are stereotyping!”

Wood was confused by Qiu Zhang's muttered lectures. He nodded vaguely and seemed to understand, and then he was about to put Qiu Zhang down.

"Wait a minute, you haven't given me the answer yet?"

"what is the answer?"

Qiu Zhang glanced at the little expression on your face and stared at Wood helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I won't be biased against Diggory, and I won't blame him!"

After Wood finished speaking, he slowly moved the broom down to the ground. Qiu Zhang suddenly hugged Wood's neck and looked at Wood strangely.

"That's not right. You have been ignoring me since that day in Hogward Village, and now you are still perfunctory with me. What's wrong with you?"

As if his thoughts had been read, Wood coughed to cover up the erratic look in his eyes, but the tips of his ears and neck still did not escape Qiu Zhang's sight, and he suddenly turned red.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing. The dinner is about to start, let's go!"

Wood landed on the broom and jumped down. Seeing Qiu Zhang still sitting on it, staring at him suspiciously, he awkwardly looked away and forced Qiu Zhang off the broom, then took the broom and left.

"Strange, so strange!"

Qiu Zhang stood there staring at Wood's back and talking to himself...

……

On the other side, Wood clenched his broom, looking dazed and couldn't help but recall what happened that night...

……………………The dividing line of memories……………………

Wood was very angry. Qiu Zhang, a student whom he had always considered to be a cute, cute and good student, actually violated school rules and came to Hogward Village at will and even drank! ! !

Looking at the little man sleeping soundly in his arms, curled up in a ball and rubbing his chest from time to time, he licked his lips. He obviously didn't smell of alcohol, but he didn't know how he drank like this...

They were about to arrive at the Ravenclaw lounge. Looking at the door with an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker in front of him, Wood was really at a loss. Don't tell me what the password for the Ravenclaw lounge was. He knew it himself. I don’t know where the password portrait is...

"Qiu, Qiu!"

Wood hesitated and shook Qiu Zhang in his arms to wake her up.

"Hmm~"

Qiu Zhang slowly opened his drowsy eyes, and subconsciously poked Wood's face and shouted "Sed". It would not be an exaggeration to say that Wood's face was turning green at this moment. Qiu Zhang didn't seem to hear the response and hugged Wood close to him again.

The smell brought by the sudden closeness was a bit complicated, like the fragrance of citrus and the sweetness of honey. Wood looked at Qiu Zhang who was hugging him tightly with a complicated expression. The frown on his face should have been displeasure. After all, Qiu Zhang mistakenly recognized him as someone else, but he still couldn't help but take the initiative to hug Qiu Zhang back with his hand movements.

At this moment, Qiu Zhang suddenly pushed Wood away and stared at him for a long time. Wood couldn't help but look away in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Qiu Zhang said...

"Ah... I admitted my mistake, I'm sorry!"

It was much more normal for Qiu Zhang to bow and apologize like a child, but her shaky movements could still tell that she was not awake.

Then Qiu Zhang turned around and touched the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker of his lounge door. He said something that Wood couldn't understand, and the door opened by itself. Qiu Zhang even politely turned around and waved goodbye to Wood, and finally turned around and walked in.

"good night!"

………………Christmas Autumn Zhang Family…………

"Ah ah ah..."

Wood stamped his feet and shook his head wildly to get rid of the strange things in his mind. Qiu Zhang, who was following behind him, stared at him with a puzzled expression on his face, and then entered the house without looking back.

"Oh my god, Wood couldn't have fallen into some weird prank, he's moody..."

I have been with the Weasley twins for a long time. When I saw Wood in this situation, Qiu Zhang subconsciously thought that it was not that Wood was in a bad mood, but that he was playing a prank... Well, Merlin, forgive me...

……………………………Dividing line……………………………

————Cedric Little Theater————

"duang! duang! duang!"

At night, the small glass window of Wood's bedroom was lightly knocked. Wood immediately got out of bed, opened the window, and a snow-white owl flew in.

"Chirp!"

Cedric recognized that this was Qiu Zhang's owl, and excitedly took out snacks from the drawer and fed them to Chiu Jiu, who naturally put down the package.

Cedric slowly opened the Christmas gift from Qiu Zhang and opened it carefully. Inside was a small and exquisite handmade biscuit box, which was neatly filled with Chinese pastries of various shapes and sizes, as well as a gift box. A letter from Qiu Zhang.

"Dear Cedric, this time I went home and asked my mother how to make the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. With the help of my mother, I completed the making of the cake by myself. I hope you can serve as my experimenter and help me try it. Of course, if If you have any suggestions, please tell me before school starts... I am already planning to wait until the third year to conquer the Hogwarts kitchen. Then maybe we can complete the perfect osmanthus cake together!"

Cedric couldn't help but laugh after reading this letter. He put the letter very preciously into an exquisite carved box. At the bottom of it were letters from Qiu Zhang and Cedric during the first grade summer vacation...

…Christmas Eve…

After finishing the sumptuous meal, the Wood family politely bid farewell to the Qiu Zhang family and flooed home.

After Qiu Zhang finished washing, he lay on the bed and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, the sound of "Duangduang" impact came from outside the window. Qiu Zhang immediately woke up and went to open the window. A familiar owl appeared. Qiu Zhang recognized it as Cedric's owl.

Qiu Zhang gently touched the owl's head and fed it some snacks. The owl happily rubbed the palm of Qiu Zhang's hand, put down the gift and flew away.

Qiu Zhang closed the window that let in the cold wind, and immediately opened the sapphire blue gift box and jewelry box with trembling body. Inside was a string of finely crafted and well-designed bracelets with blue amber hanging on them. It has a light citrus aroma.

"To my best friend Qiu, I don't know if you have noticed it, but the citrus-like aroma on your body makes me fall in love with it. After consulting Professor Sprout many times, I successfully blended plant extracts I made this bracelet by hand with a similar atmosphere. The workmanship is rough, but I hope you like it..."

Qiu opened her mouth and smiled. She held up the bracelet with satisfaction and carefully put it on her wrist. The white and tender back of her hand against the sapphire blue amber became as white as jade. Under the moonlight, There are little stars under it, it’s so beautiful!
