HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Soon, the lively Halloween dinner arrived. Every building in Hogwarts is decorated with pumpkins, and even the staple food for dinner has become pumpkin porridge, which looks sweet and greasy, but fortunately there are many rich delicacies to complement it...

Students from various colleges and professors in the auditorium happily participated in this Halloween dinner. The first-year students were immersed in the magical and dreamy scenes in the auditorium and the various delicacies on the table from time to time.

Qiu Zhang accidentally glanced at the professor's chair high up, and found with confusion that Professor Quirrell was not among them, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart...

"Ahhh! Troll! Troll! There is... there is a troll"

Professor Quirrell, who suddenly broke in, looked flustered and frightened. He hurriedly ran into the center of the auditorium and stammered what he wanted to warn everyone, then suddenly fell to the ground and fainted without any consciousness.

For a moment, the entire auditorium fell into chaos, and the sounds of students shouting in panic and hurriedly running footsteps could be heard from everywhere. until……

"Silence! Silence!"

Professor Dumbledore pressed his wand against his neck and used the Loudness Charm. The sound he made was as majestic as a powerful air current, finally making the auditorium quiet down. Then Professor Dumbledore calmly looked around the entire auditorium and warned everyone.

"Don't panic, everyone. Now, the prefects of each college will take the students from each college back to the dormitories in an orderly manner. The teachers and I will go to the basement to check!"

After Professor Dumbledore finished giving instructions, everyone began to evacuate one by one in order. The Ravenclaw prefect also gently told everyone to follow him, so Qiu Zhang followed the Ravenclaw army and prepared to evacuate...

Turning back inadvertently, Qiu Zhang found that Professor Quirrell was still lying in the middle of the crowd, showing no signs of moving and waking up, allowing the students queuing around him to avoid him or even step over him directly...

Qiu Zhang looked back and found that the Ravenclaw students were a little nervous and no one was paying attention to him for the time being, so he cautiously left the team and ran back towards the auditorium.

"Professor Quirrell! Professor Quirrell!"

Qiu Zhang gently shook Professor Quirrell's shoulders. Seeing that there was no movement, he had to try to lift him up, but with almost all his efforts, he could only move such a heavy adult man a few steps or so.

"Autumn!"

At this time, Cedric's life-saving voice suddenly came from behind. Qiu Zhang immediately came back to his senses with a smile on his face and excitedly looked around. Sure enough, it was Cedric.

It seems that every time he encounters troubles or needs help, Cedric will always stand firmly behind him, without exception...

"Qiu, why did you suddenly run out of the team..."

Cedric said slowly with a worried voice, and he came closer, only to find Professor Quirrell who was still in a coma on the ground.

"Are you doing it for Professor Quirrell?"

"That's right..."

Qiu Zhang admitted hesitantly, looking down at Professor Quirrell, but there was a suspicious look in his eyes. In fact, I just guessed something and had some doubts when I stayed. Now it seems that I really can’t ask this doubt...

No matter, it seems that all this has nothing to do with me at the moment anyway, someone will always solve it...

Finally, Qiu Zhang, with the help of Cedric, carried Professor Quirrell to the corner mat and lay down to rest.

"Huh, that should be enough now. At least the professors will definitely not let the monsters come here!"

Cedric glanced at Professor Quirrell, who still had no desire to wake up. He and Qiu Zhang sat here guarding Professor Quirrell for a long time. He sighed and decided to persuade Qiu Zhang to go back first, otherwise he would be beaten when the professors came back. punishment.

"Oh well!"

Qiu Zhang nodded hesitantly, thinking that a long time had indeed passed. The auditorium was now empty and silent except for the three of them. The only thing he could hear was the crackling of candlelight on the dining table...

Just when the two were about to stand up, Professor Quirrell suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiu Zhang's arm and pulled him down. Qiu Zhang was forced to sit close to Professor Quirrell again. Professor Quirrell slowly opened his eyes, his eyes dim and unclear, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

"Professor Quirrell, you're awake, great!"

Cedric finally breathed a sigh of relief and greeted Professor Quirrell excitedly, but Professor Quirrell paid no attention to Cedric. He just looked at Chou Chang and signaled Qiu Zhang to lean over and listen. However, Qiu Zhang felt a little inexplicable fear, but still Slowly approaching Professor Quirrell...

"Miss Qiu Zhang, yes and I'm not sorry"

I did what the troll did and I am not sorry or regretful at all!

I don’t know why Qiu Zhang understood what Professor Quirrell wanted to express in just a few words. Professor Quirrell noticed her doubts and thoughtfully answered her...

But... is this still Professor Quirrell? The real Professor Quirrell could not be so devoid of empathy, could not become so demonic, and could not call himself Miss Chouchang...

Qiu Zhang couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, and trembled stiffly...

Cedric noticed carefully that something was wrong with Qiu Zhang, and stepped forward to hold Qiu Zhang by his shoulders and help Qiu Zhang up.

It was at this time that a series of heavy footsteps came from outside the auditorium door. It seemed that the professors were back...

"Classmate Qiuchang, and classmate Diggory, can you tell me why you didn't return to your dormitory as ordered?"

Professor McGonagall's shrill trembling voice came, and her eyes were full of worry and blame for the two of them.

Cho Chang and Cedric turned their heads in annoyance and were about to explain. Unexpectedly, Professor Quirrell, who was still sitting on the mat behind him and looked a little weak, spoke up to explain.

"Oh, Mag, the two of them...the two stayed because of me. These two classmates couldn't bear to leave alone because they were worried about the comfort of the fainting professor. It was a kind gesture of compassion..."

Professor Quirrell's stammering voice came out. Professor McGonagall tried hard to prick up her ears to hear Professor Quirrell's words clearly. He sighed and looked at the two of them.

"Okay, since Professor Quirrell said this, you should go back to your dormitories quickly! Don't come out and run around again!"

"Okay, Professor!"

Qiu Zhang responded immediately, then took Cedric and left quickly. The collective gaze of a group of professors behind them that could not be ignored seemed to burn through the two of them. The two people immediately accelerated their pace and drove away from the gaze of the professors...

"Look! Love~"

Professor Dumbledore looked at the hands of the two people running tightly in the distance with kind eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

……

Walking up the stairs leading to each lounge, the two of them fell silent in tacit understanding. Only the singing of the flower-picking girl in the portrait and the clinking of glasses in the noble painting were left in the air...

"Autumn!"

As they were about to reach the stairs where the two parted ways, Cedric finally couldn't help the confusion in his heart and called Qiu Zhang down.

"what happened?"

Qiu Zhang stopped and looked back at Cedric in confusion, pretending not to know anything.

"Professor Quirrell, he...there's something wrong with him!"

Cedric hesitated to tell the guess that he thought was impossible, but after thinking about it, he decided to ask Qiu Zhang.

"You know something, right?"

Qiu Zhang was a little stunned. He thought that Cedric would be confused, but he never thought that he would guess something and ask so boldly. Qiu Zhang opened his mouth, but still couldn't hold back a word.

"I……"

"It's okay you don't have to tell me, I just want to know if this is dangerous to you..."

Cedric probably noticed Qiu Zhang's embarrassment, took a half step back, raised the corners of his lips towards Qiu Zhang and revealed a gentle and tolerant smile.

"Qiu Zhang, when you need me, look back. No matter what time, I will always be behind you!"
