HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 62 Calling for God’s Guard



In an ordinary corridor of Hogwarts, Qiu Zhang held up a thick and tall stack of books. The books were piled up almost covering his eyes. Qiu Zhang could only slow down and walk forward carefully step by step. .

"Trick! trick!"

Peeves, who was covered in purple, suddenly swooped down from a high place, frightening Qiu Zhang, and all the books in his arms were knocked out and scattered on the ground.

Qiu Zhang was just about to angrily catch Peeves and punish him severely, but he saw that Peeves had disappeared and escaped without knowing when.

This made Qiu Zhang full of resentment and could only chew it up and swallow it in his stomach, silently squatting down to pick up the book.

"Give!"

Suddenly a small hand appeared in his sight and handed the scattered books to Qiu Zhang. Qiu Zhang couldn't help but look up and saw a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, probably a first or second grader, wearing a Slytherin school robe and looking at Qiu Zhang cutely. Zhang smiled and looked extremely polite.

It's really rare that Slytherin has such a lovely and kind student...

"Ah, thank you!"

Qiu Zhang took the books, and with the help of the Slytherin schoolmates, he stacked many thick books in his hands and held them tightly.

Qiu Zhang and the elementary school girl nodded gratefully, smiled at her tenderly, and planned to leave first and rush to the library.

"Wait! Qiu!"

Qiu Zhang looked back at the elementary school girl who was hesitant to speak with a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

"You know me? Do you want to see me for anything?"

The elementary school girl was about to speak, but she suddenly stopped talking as if she thought of something important. She rolled her curly blond hair back and forth with her fingers, her eyes filled with hesitation.

"Well, that's it. I'm actually a big fan of yours. I really like you, Senior Qiu Zhang!"

"Fans, am I so famous?"

Qiu Zhang couldn't help but tilted his head in confusion, and couldn't help but have a bad guess about the harmless Slytherin elementary school girl in front of him...

She believed that she was a fan of Harry Potter. What else could she be called at Hogwarts besides being the outstanding Quidditch seeker who tied for first place with Gryffindor last year? She was worthy of the admiration of Slytherin students. ?

But she really didn't do anything else. Instead, she really stared at him with starry eyes, as if she really wanted to get to know Qiu Zhang, and Qiu Zhang gradually let go of his suspicion.

"Then what's your name? Elementary school girl!"

"Astoria, Astoria Greengrass!"

The elementary school girl spoke slowly, and she seemed to have figured out this rather convoluted name very convolutedly.

"Oh, Astoria, huh? Nice to meet you. You can come to me if you need anything in the future!"

Qiu Zhang tried his best to reach out and shake hands with Astoria, but there were too many books in his arms and he couldn't free his hands, so he could only smile apologetically.

Astoria seemed to notice Cho Chang's embarrassment, smiled kindly, winked playfully, and responded to Cho Chang.

"Then, senior sister, we'll see you next time!"

Astoria took the initiative to reach out and touch the back of Qiu Zhang's hand, smiled obediently, said goodbye to Qiu Zhang, and turned to leave.

……

The incident of meeting a schoolgirl who was a fan passed quickly, and Qiu Zhang quickly rushed to the door of the library with his book in his arms.

As soon as he entered the library, Qiu Zhang saw Cedric's figure from a distance. He was elegant and gentle, with his slender body and straight back, sitting upright at the desk reading.

Suddenly, as if he noticed something, Cedric raised his eyes and met Qiu Zhang's eyes, which were staring blankly at him. Then he raised the corners of his lips with a gentle smile, stood up and stepped forward like a gentleman to help Qiu Zhang take the tall and thick stack of books.

"Qiu, did you finish reading all these books yesterday?"

Cedric was a little surprised. He silently counted about seven or eight books of varying thicknesses about the God-calling Guards in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh subconsciously.

Qiu Zhang yawned and slowly waved his hand to indicate it was nothing. It would be more convincing if she could ignore the obvious bruise under her eyes.

Cedric was a little annoyed, shook his head in disapproval but helped move the books to the desk and piled them up.

"You can't blame me for this. I really can't understand why I can't recite the simple spell to summon the guardian of the gods."

Qiu Zhang was full of frustration. He sat on the bench with his head hanging down and was about to bury his head in the book again. Cedric gently covered Qiu Zhang's eyes with his hand and took away the book.

"Don't read it anymore. Maybe if you try it a few more times, the effect will be better!"

Cho Chang pulled Cedric's big hand away from Kai, only to see Cedric staring at him helplessly, as if he was worried about Cho Chang.

"Okay~_~, you are right!"

Qiu Zhang was persuaded by Cedric's gentle but firm eyes, and nodded obediently in agreement with Cedric's words.

……

——Beside the Black Lake——

In the afternoon of autumn, the weather near the Black Lake is always refreshing and comfortable. Qiu Zhang and Cedric came to the Black Lake together. There are always very few people here. There are only a few adventurous junior students in the lower grades here and there. School girl...

"Ex...Exp...Expe...Pa..."

Qiu Zhang held up the wand and muttered for a long time, but still couldn't utter a complete word. He couldn't help but sigh in despair, and the wand he held high in his hand was slowly about to fall.

At this moment, Cedric suddenly approached from behind, his warm palm slowly held Qiu Zhang's hand that was about to fall, and a soft and gentle voice of encouragement sounded softly in Qiu Zhang's ears.

"Come on, remember what the professor said, recall your happiest memory and release it."

After hearing Cedric's very close voice and feeling the moist breath in his ear, Qiu Zhang's cheeks turned pink subconsciously. Then Qiu Zhang finally calmed down under Cedric's comfort and encouragement, slowly closed his eyes and began to recall his own happy memories.

"Ex...Expecto Patronum!"

Suddenly, a burst of dazzling white light emitted from the wand, and Cho Chang and Cedric were surrounded by warmth. Then, a snow-white swan appeared and elegantly circled Cho Chang and Cedric.

"you made it!"

Both Cedric and Qiu Zhang were almost speechless with joy, immersed in this unique and beautiful scene.

Cho Zhang's patron saint swan flew and slid to Cedric, rubbed Cedric's cheek very affectionately, and then ran away quickly as if she was having fun, which seemed quite in line with her elegant and gentle appearance. Not consistent, looks playful and cute.

Cedric couldn't help but smile brightly, and then as if he thought of something, he raised his wand and spoke softly.

"Expecto Patronum!"

A cute brown badger jumped up and down in front of the two of them, chasing the white swan with a gentle attitude and wagging its tail excitedly around the swan.

"A badger, he looks a lot like you. He is so loyal, gentleman and kind!"

Listening to Qiu Zhang's series of compliments to him, Cedric felt embarrassed at first. He shyly raised the corners of his lips and smiled tenderly at Qiu Zhang, and then changed the subject.

"What are your good memories? Maybe I can know?"

"Of course!"

Qiu Zhang nodded without hesitation, almost without thinking, with a cheerful smile on his face and he was very happy to share everything with Cedric.

"I thought about the first time I rode on a broomstick, the first Quidditch match, the first time I broke school rules and went on an adventure with you in Hogward... and the cotton bugs!"

"Cotton bugs?"

Cedric knew which time Qiu Zhang was talking about, and couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

"You almost fell down that time, how could you be happy and happy?"

"Because...you are there!"

Qiu Zhang's eyes were quite serious, and he suddenly came closer to meet Cedric's eyes. His eyes were shining and he seemed to be very happy.

Cedric couldn't help but be stunned. He was moved by Qiu Zhang's serious tone. When he heard "I have you", his face turned red instantly, as if he was about to fall into the gentle and affectionate place tailor-made for him by Qiu Zhang.

"I?"

"Yes, because you caught me!"

Qiu Zhang looked seriously and firmly, looking at Cedric seriously. But Cedric felt as if he was about to drown in Qiu Zhang's starry eyes, staring closely at Qiu Zhang's eyes full of ambiguity and unknown emotions.
