HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

In Diagon Alley in winter, except for adult wizards wandering around to purchase magic items, there are very few students.

Snow as thick as a quilt is spread on the streets and paths, on the eaves of the roofs, on the dead leaves of ancient trees...

Qiu Zhang's thick footprints made a rustling sound on the snow step by step. The ice cream shop that was popular in the past has now closed for rest. It can be said that most small shops are not open, maybe because of Christmas...

Finally we arrived at our destination this time - the Quidditch Boutique!

When you open the door and enter, the bell on the door of the store makes a sweet tinkling sound. The clerk, who is almost asleep, gets out of the big sofa that looks warm and comfortable from the back, and looks at Qiu Zhang with a smile on his face.

"May I ask what this distinguished lady needs?"

Qiu Zhang politely raised her skirt and bent down to greet the clerk, then smiled gently and expressed her request.

"I want to buy that!"

Qiu Zhang was optimistic about the product early on, and pointed to a new streamlined and perfect broom made of ash wood placed at the top of the exhibition cabinet - Firebolt!

Officially launched in 1993, it is unparalleled in terms of balance and precision, and can accelerate to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds. It is the first choice of any Quidditch player's dream!

Hearing that Qiu Zhang seemed to know the Firebolt better than he did, the clerk adjusted his glasses and suddenly felt that his presence was a bit unnecessary. He smiled ingratiatingly and helped Qiu Zhang wrap up the Firebolt.

No matter what, a big customer came today!

Qiu Zhang took the Firebolt, took out a bag full of Gold Galleons and a pile of Silver Sickles from his pocket, and spread them out on the counter. The clerk looked a little dizzy. He counted slowly for a long time before he got the right number. Then he smiled stiffly at Qiu Zhang, waved his hands and bowed goodbye.

"Miss, walk slowly!"

call! Fortunately, I still have some money saved in the past few years and the small treasury my father gave me, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to cope with this huge sum of money...

Qiu Zhang brushed the sweat off his forehead and left Diagon Alley with the Firebolt!

……

On Christmas Day, Wood's bedroom window was slowly knocked. Wood's ears twitched and he immediately jumped out of bed and opened the window.

"Qiuchang!"

Wood looked at Qiu Zhang in shock, sitting on the broom with a thick covering and greeting him.

"hi!"

Wood quickly pulled Qiu Zhang in and closed the window. He touched Qiu Zhang's frozen hands, held Qiu Zhang's hands and held them in his palms, rubbing them to provide warmth for Qiu Zhang.

"You are……"

Wood pointed to the horizon in the distance and then to Qiu Zhang. The shock in his eyes was beyond words, but Qiu Zhang still understood what he meant, blinked and nodded at Wood.

"Ah...how did you do that?"

Wood felt that his world view was about to collapse. Qiu Zhang's flying skills had always been very good, and he knew it, but she had such amazing skills to fly so far...

Qiu Zhang looked at Wood with his mouth wide open and his eyes dull, as if he was still digesting it in his heart. He held back a smile and slowly reached out to close Wood's mouth.

until……

"Oliver! A guest is here! You're still sleeping up there!"

Wood's mother's voice came from outside the door. Only then did Wood realize that Qiu Zhang was joking with him. Qiu Zhang winked playfully and raised his head proudly.

"You've been deceived!"

Outside the door, I heard Wood's mother slowly knocking on the door a few times, and then opened it. Just when she was about to scold Wood, she saw Qiu Zhang beside her, regaining her gentle and virtuous look as a noble lady.

"Oh, Qiu Zhang, you flew up here on a broom, right? That's great!"

Mother Wood noticed the broom in Qiu Zhang's hand, and cared for Qiu Zhang with a gentle and considerate smile.

"It must be very cold, let's go down together and warm ourselves in front of the fireplace."

Immediately, he turned to face Wood with a cold face and ordered with his hands on his hips.

"And you, stop messing with that Quidditch thing of yours, that's Nimbus 2000, just get smashed by the Quaffle!"

Obviously, Wood's mother was not satisfied with Wood's performance in the Quidditch match at Hogwarts this year, especially the smashed broomstick that made her even more angry. She snorted at Wood and put her arm around Qiu Zhang affectionately. Went upstairs...

……

Downstairs, I was chatting and drinking afternoon tea with Wood's mother and mom in front of the fireplace. My father was also talking about some serious matters with Wood's father in the study. Soon, it was evening...

The Christmas dinner was about to take place, and Wood was nowhere to be seen. Wood's mother was about to go upstairs angrily to call him, but Qiu Zhang took over the task and offered to call Wood to dinner.

..........................................................................................

——Wood Bedroom——

Qiu Zhang carefully opened the ajar door and walked into the house. He saw Wood sitting on the red lion-patterned carpet with his head lowered and tinkering with the lifeless Nimbus 2000 in his hand that had been broken in half.

Slowly walked forward and sat down next to Wood. He watched Wood's head droop lower and lower. It seemed that he was really hurt by the fact that this year was a Quidditch match. Even though this year's champion was still their Gryffindor, he didn't care much. happy……

"Wood, do you want me to do a magic trick for you?"

Qiu Zhang tentatively reached out and touched the damaged Nimbus 2000. Wood's innocent and aggrieved expression moved Qiu Zhang inexplicably, and then he carefully handed the Nimbus 2000 to Qiu Zhang.

I saw Qiu Zhang stuffing the damaged Nimbus 2000 in his hand into the bag on his waist. Obviously the bag was not as wide as Qiu Zhang's waist, so the entire Nimbus 2000 broom was completely stuffed into Qiu Zhang's small bag. The bag disappears.

"Wuhu! The time to witness the miracle is coming!"

Qiu Zhang looked around at his bag a few times in awe, and then motioned to Wood to reach in and take out what he touched!

Wood just smiled helplessly. After all, as a seventh grader, he could still see that this was just a small trick to form a telescopic spell. However, Wood did not expose it and could see whether Qiu Zhang wanted to make him happy or he cooperated obediently. He reached into his bag and pulled out the broom he was holding.

"Firebolt!!!"

Wood's eyes gleamed as he stared at the newly launched flying broom in his hand and blinked in disbelief. He held the Firebolt and observed it carefully.

Qiu Zhang finally felt relieved when he saw Wood's depressed mood change and his expression of excitement and excitement, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Wait, I can't do this..."

Wood knew in his mind the high price of the Firebolt that had just been launched. No matter how good his relationship with Qiu Zhang was, he would still not be willing to accept such an expensive gift without any scruples.

But Qiu Zhang doesn't think so. After all, since he met Wood, Wood will give him many interesting gifts every birthday, Christmas or any other holiday, although most of them are Quidditch equipment and ball magic items, not to mention The Nimbus 2001 that I replaced in the third grade was given to me by Wood on my birthday...

He didn't even replace his own broom, but replaced it with the latest model for Qiu Zhang. Qiu Zhang already regarded Wood as his closest brother...

"Just think of it as a Christmas gift, don't be embarrassed. Besides, who told me that Oliver almost cried because of the broken broomstick in the Quidditch game..."

Qiu Zhang winked playfully and joked with Wood. Wood immediately turned red and retorted angrily.

"It's not because of the broom, it's because I couldn't avoid an ordinary Quaffle... No, I never cried!"

In the middle of speaking, Wood seemed to think of something and immediately defended himself so that he would not cry. After all, he is a man!

However, it’s hard not to believe rumors like Wood’s, who regards Quidditch as important as his family…

Qiu Zhang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, calming Wood's excitement.

"Rumors must be rumors!"

It was all George and Fred's fault. They told her random things about Wood's crying. They described the scene so well that she really believed it...

I no longer dare to believe what I hear...
