HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Meeting again on the train



Soon it was time to start school. Although Wood repeatedly stated that he could set off to the station with Qiu Zhang, Qiu Zhang still refused on the grounds that he wanted to make new good friends and Wood's big man could easily add fuel to the fire. .

But it is true that Qiu Zhang, who had few friends since receiving the notice, only had Wood left by his side. It is true that you cannot always rely on Wood's side.

Be independent! Want to make friends! Study hard!

This is Qiu Kai’s request for himself before starting school...

"Qiu, you must remember to reply to us often. Your father and I will always miss you!"

In the station where people were coming and going, my mother was full of nostalgia and was beginning to be reluctant to leave Qiu Zhang. The father on the side had a look of helplessness, holding his mother with one hand and patting Qiu Zhang's shoulder with steadfast comfort.

"When you go to school, you must be motivated and study hard. Don't embarrass our Zhang family!"

When the mother saw that the father was so speechless, she immediately pinched him hard, causing him to moan in pain. Here Qiu Zhang was pushing his luggage, hugging his mother one last time before leaving.

"Don't worry! I will study hard, father. Then I'm leaving, mother!"

Qiu Zhang responded to his father's instructions seriously, then said goodbye to his mother, then pushed the heavy luggage cart and quickly ran into the wall between stations 9 and 10 with his eyes closed.

"Hold on! Hold on!"

"Holy Shit! Fred!"

When Qiu Zhang opened his eyes, two screams were heard in his ears, and the surrounding environment was already in front of a long red iron train filled with mist.

"Wow! Are you okay!"

Only then did Qiu Zhang realize that his luggage cart had knocked a boy to the ground. Qiu Zhang hurriedly knelt down to help him up, carefully patted the obvious dust on the boy's trouser legs, and stared at the boy with apologetic eyes.

"People come in at this entrance all the time. Why are you standing here? How dangerous is it?"

Qiu Zhang found that the location where the two of them were standing was the entrance to the Nine and Three-Quarters Station, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Oh! Aren't I a little curious about the structure of this entrance? I haven't had the chance to enter here every year. This year I finally have the opportunity to study it carefully."

A boy who looked the same as the little boy who was hit spoke. He must be the boy's brother. Looking at the two conspicuous redheads in front of him, Qiu Zhang suddenly remembered where he had seen them.

"There is an old Chinese saying that curiosity killed the cat. It is a good thing for you to be curious and study things to gain knowledge, but you should also pay attention to your own safety."

Qiu Zhang looked serious and seriously reminded the two red-haired teenagers in front of him who were still smiling.

The two red-haired brothers seemed to have heard something interesting. They couldn't help but smile wider as they stared at Qiu Zhang's serious expression.

"Thank you very much, senior, for reminding me. This is our favorite candy. I give it to senior to express our gratitude!"

【grateful? The expressions of these two boys didn't look like they were grateful at all, and they actually recognized me as their senior. Do I look so mature? (?o?o)]

At this moment, Qiu Zhang finally remembered where he had seen these two people. Candy, with a venomous mouth...isn't he the same person who knocked himself to the ground in front of the candy store and mocked him that day?

Qiu Zhang thought angrily in his heart, snatching the candy that Hongmao wanted to give him, unpacking it and putting it in his mouth, chewing hard while keeping his eyes on the two of them.

【Sure enough, I hate it just looking at it! 】

The strange thing is that after the two red-haired brothers saw that they had eaten the candy, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled maliciously. Then he casually waved his hands to Qiu Zhang and turned around and left.

------Dividing line-------

"Hello, is there anyone here?"

Qiu Zhang politely knocked on the door of the fifth carriage he passed. The door was gently opened, followed by a gentle voice.

"Of course not, come in quickly!"

It turned out to be Cedric. Qiu Zhang was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. In short, he was in a very happy mood.

"Digory, it's you! It's so nice to meet you!"

Cedric looked very happy, and with that gentle smile, he took the initiative to help Qiu Zhang move his luggage in.

"I'm glad to meet you again, too, Zhang!"

……

For some reason, this car ride seemed to be extra long. Qiu Zhang would occasionally take his eyes away from the book on his knees and peek at Cedric quietly.

"Aren't you a little bored? Indeed, it would be boring to sit blankly in one place and only see almost the same green outside the window."

Cedric seemed to sense Qiu Zhang's boredom and spoke to him thoughtfully.

"Would you like to practice your spells? I heard that a strict examination is required to open a branch school. Maybe I will pass the spell test?"

"Yeah! Okay!"

Cho Chang agreed immediately, looked at the ash wand held in Cedric's hand, took out his own wand and touched it with Cedric.

After trying many spells in the textbook, Qiu Zhang cast them very smoothly, which made Cedric couldn't help but admire them.

"You're awesome! I also thought that maybe I could help you by previewing it. It seems like I'm being conceited. You don't need my guidance at all."

Cedric was not stingy with his words of praise, and kept expressing his praise and approval to Qiu Zhang. Coupled with the gentle and considerate smile on his face, Qiu Zhang blushed in embarrassment.

Qiu Zhang touched his nose shyly and smiled sheepishly. Suddenly, I felt a sudden warmth all over my body, and then I shook my head subconsciously for some unknown reason. Looking up, he saw that Cedric's expression had changed. He was so shocked that his mouth seemed to be big enough to hold an egg.

"Qiu Zhang, your ears?"

Qiu Zhang tilted his head in confusion and carefully raised his hand to touch his ear. There was nothing unusual.

"What's wrong with the ears?"

Seeing this, Cedric waved his hand anxiously.

"No, it's another pair of ears."

With that said, Cedric took out a small mirror from somewhere and handed it to Qiu Zhang. In the mirror, I saw a pair of long, snow-white rabbit ears growing out of nowhere on Qiu Zhang's forehead, and the floppy ears trembled from time to time.

"This...what is this?"

Qiu Zhang couldn't help but lost his voice in fear, and suddenly thought of something.

"Is it that candy?"

"What candy?"

Cedric frowned and asked, seeming to have grasped the key to the problem.

"Just before I got in the car, two boys who must have been freshmen gave me a candy."

"Hiss... It stands to reason that if it is the problem with the candy, it shouldn't take so long to take effect, unless... they are not yet proficient and have made a half-finished product?"

Cedric was thoughtful and carefully observed the bunny ears that were still shaking on Qiu Zhang's head. He involuntarily tapped his cheek and started talking to himself.

"This should have some kind of transformation potion added, but it failed, so you only have ears..."

I saw that Qiu Zhang's nose seemed to be shaking unconsciously, as if he was sniffing something, and he looked very cute.

"Pfft, your nose has changed. By the way, maybe I can touch your ears?"

Cedric asked in a very gentlemanly manner. Autumn's ears suddenly stood up inexplicably, making her nervousness clearly evident.

"Of course...of course!" (the ending sound is upturned)

Cedric slowly reached out and gently pinched the raised rabbit ears. Qiu Zhang immediately seemed to sense something, his cheeks turned red, and the rabbit ears flicked away from Cedric's touch.

"Sure enough, that candy must have been under a confusion spell, which makes you seem to have your tactile perception confused and become like a rabbit."

"Confusion spell?"

"Yes, my father once mentioned this spell. It is very difficult to complete the confusion spell. The caster needs to be able to concentrate and not be affected by distracting thoughts. Alas... I can only say that the two people who gave you the candy are really talented. They can actually It makes you react to pranks. It's really rare to know that such difficult spells and potions have to be mixed into candy to be dissolved."

"If it were normal, I would definitely admire and praise you. But, but... I was the one who got hit this time!"

The rabbit ears on Qiu Zhang's head hung down sadly when Qiu Zhang was in mood, looking pitiful.

Cedric hesitated, but couldn't help but speak after looking at Qiu Zhang's expression.

"Actually, due to the lack of ability of the caster, as long as we unlock the confusion spell in the spell, the magic potion about transformation should have no effect."

"Really? That's great!"

Qiu Zhang stared at Cedric expectantly with starry eyes.

"It's just that I'm not confident that I can do it well with the Confusion Curse. I'm afraid..."

Seeing Cedric lowering his head in confidence, Qiu Zhang quickly patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Digory, I believe you! Just come with confidence! I don't want to enter Hogwarts with these eye-catching rabbit ears..." (low tone)

Qiu Zhang's tone was low, his two long rabbit ears drooping pitifully, and he stared at Cedric expectantly.

Cedric seemed to have so much trust in Qiu Zhang that he couldn't help but feel helpless. Where his soft eyes met Qiu Zhang's trusting and firm eyes.

"Well, it seems I can't let you down!"

Cedric concentrated, trying hard to focus on Cho Chang's bunny ears, and raised his wand.

"Confundus Charm!"

Under Cedric's operation, a burst of white light flashed, and the rabbit ears on Qiu Zhang's head finally disappeared. Qiu Zhang touched it carefully, and sure enough, there was nothing on his head.

"Wow! You're awesome, Diggory!"

Qiu Zhang couldn't help but get emotional, raised his hand and happily hugged Cedric, which made Cedric look at a loss and blushed in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, that's how friends should be!"
