HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts

A few days later, in a quiet corridor, Harry stopped Cedric Diggory as he was about to go to the library.

He was a little nervous and didn't even dare to look directly into the other person's gentle and slightly inquiring eyes.

"Um... Cedric," Harry's voice was a little dry, "it's about... the first project."

Cedric stopped and looked serious: "Harry? Are you okay? I know this is hard for both of us..."

"It's a dragon!" Harry almost shouted with his eyes closed, "For the first task, we have to deal with a dragon!"

He blurted it out, then looked at Cedric nervously.

The color instantly drained from Cedric's handsome face, and his gray eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

He was obviously shocked by the news.

But soon, the shock was replaced by a deep sense of gratitude.

"Merlin... Harry, this..."

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then solemnly reached out and shook Harry's somewhat cold hand.

"Thank you! Thank you so much for telling me this! This... this is so important! You saved my life!"

His thanks were genuine and fervent, with the warmth and candor that is so characteristic of a Hufflepuff.

Harry felt a little embarrassed by his reaction, and the awkwardness in his heart dissipated a lot.

He scratched his head: "Uh... nothing, I think... I should tell you. After all, this is too dangerous."

Cedric nodded heavily, looking at Harry with new respect and friendliness in his eyes: "You are a truly upright man, Harry, thank you again!"

Watching Cedric hurried away, his back obviously heavy but full of gratitude, Harry's confusion was completely relieved.

He remembered Cygnus' words: "Good intentions...have unexpected consequences."

Maybe, she is right?

Harry thought.

At least, after telling Cedric, he felt relieved and felt like he had done the right thing.

He certainly didn't expect that his "kindness" at that moment would bring him an equally crucial and even life-saving tip from Cedric Diggory not long after, when he was going crazy about the screams of the golden egg.

About the secret of the golden egg under water.

This is what Cygnus calls "echo".

Cedric had just left Harry, his steps were still a little unsteady, and his heart was beating violently because of the news about the dragon.

He subconsciously walked across the courtyard, trying to let the cool air calm the turbulent waves in his heart.

Just then, his steps paused.

A figure was sitting quietly on a bench in the corner of the courtyard.

It was Cygnus Malfoy.

The sunlight shone through the sparse vines and fell right on her.

The golden light outlined her delicate profile, as if a soft halo was cast around her.

Her eyelashes were slightly drooped and her posture was calm. Different from her usual sharp aloofness, at this moment she exuded an indescribable, almost quiet mysterious temperament.

The sunlight made her stand out against the dappled shadows of the courtyard, like a carefully painted portrait.

Cedric stopped unconsciously, his eyes fixed on her.

The fear and anxiety about the dragon just now were strangely diluted by the scene before me at this moment.

He wasn't looking at it intentionally, it was just that the scene was too special.

I do not know how long it has been.

It might have been just a few seconds, but to Cedric it felt like an eternity.

A white, slender hand suddenly stretched out in front of his eyes and shook gently.

"Senior Cedric?"

A gentle voice sounded, with a hint of inquiry, pulling him back from his trance.

Cedric's grey eyes instantly focused and met the calm grey-blue eyes of Cygnus.

He was shocked to realize that he had stared at a school girl for so long! And she was obviously aware of it!

A strong sense of embarrassment belonging to a Hufflepuff top student instantly swept over him.

"Swish", the blush quickly spread from the base of his neck to his fair cheeks and tips of his ears, making him feel hot.

He could even feel his ears throbbing.

"me……"

Cedric's voice was a little tense, and he subconsciously took a half step back, trying to create some distance.

His eyes wandered away in panic, but he forced himself to turn back, trying hard to maintain his dignity as a senior, but the heat on his face made him look helpless.

Merlin! He actually did something so inappropriate and inappropriate in front of a lady!

This simply went against all the gentleman education he had received since childhood!

He subconsciously took a half step back, almost wanting to turn around and escape from this suffocating and embarrassing scene, but in his haste he glanced at the archway on the other side of the courtyard.

Qiu Zhang was standing there.

She had evidently just come through the archway, preparing to cross the courtyard.

At this moment, there was obvious astonishment on her beautiful face, and her eyes were fixed on Cedric, who was blushing, at a loss, and speaking incoherently to Cygnus.

Time seemed to freeze for a second.

A clear trace of loss flashed across Qiu Zhang's eyes.

She lowered her head slightly, and her long eyelashes drooped, hiding the emotions surging in her eyes.

Without even looking at them again, he turned around abruptly, his steps even faster than when he came, and he left in a hurry along the way he came.

Cedric felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an icy hand, and it sank to the bottom.

It’s over.

Qiu must have misunderstood!

"Autumn......"

He subconsciously called out, his voice full of regret, and subconsciously wanted to chase after her to explain.

But as soon as he moved his feet, he remembered that Segnus was standing next to him, which made his attempt to hide something even more obvious.

He froze in place, in a dilemma, with only despair, paleness and confusion on his handsome face.

The pressure brought by Long's matter was instantly shattered by this huge misunderstanding. At this moment, his mind was full of the hurt look in Qiu's eyes when he left.

Segnus naturally also saw Qiu Zhang's departure and the unconcealable loss on her face.

Her gray-blue eyes calmly followed Qiu Chong's back until she disappeared behind the archway. Then she slowly retracted her gaze and fell on the Hufflepuff senior beside her who looked like the end of the world had come.

Her perfect expression did not change at all, she was still gentle, harmless and considerate, like a lily quietly blooming in the sun.

"Senior Cedric?" Her voice was still gentle and soft, as if nothing had happened just now, and she was just simply concerned about why he lost his composure like that.

"You look...very troubled? Is it because of Akira-senpai? She seems...to have some misunderstanding?"

Segnus tilted her head slightly, her eyes clear and innocent, as if she was really just a gentle and kind schoolgirl who cared about her senior's emotional problems.

She even considerately suggested: "Maybe you need to explain it to her?"

Cedric looked at Segnus gratefully, nodded, and hurriedly chased in the direction of his future wife.

After she could no longer see anyone, Segnus gave a faint smile.

Sometimes it's really interesting to watch young people fall in love.
