HP Star Shining

Chapter 168

Walking outside the gate, Su Xingchen suddenly remembered that after she drugged Flint, she hid and took off the invisibility cloak, then quietly mixed into the crowd and returned to school together.

Before entering the door, I was accidentally bumped into by a Ravenclaw girl. The girl seemed very shy, lowered her head, quickly and quietly said "sorry", and immediately disappeared into the crowd.

Although the gate of Hogwarts was not small, the bustling flow of people made it seem narrow. She didn't care about this insignificant little thing at the time.

Su Xingchen thought again of the strange look Crouch Barty Jr. had given her during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

In the morning she had asked Harry indirectly how he had slept the night before, and Harry had said he had slept well. There was no need for him to lie, as that meant he had not dreamed of Voldemort.

So, is it reasonable to suspect that the loss of the necklace was not an accident?

Su Xingchen has only one suspect, the fake Mad-Eye, Crouch Barty Jr.

This also explains why she couldn't summon Starfall. It might have been sealed in a box or chest similar to the one that imprisoned Moody.

The cold wind made people's cheeks hurt, and Su Xingchen's face was as cold as a thin layer of ice.

She blamed herself. Perhaps she had gradually integrated into the life at Hogwarts, which made her less vigilant than before, allowing someone to take advantage of her.

Su Xingchen snorted coldly. Is her stuff so easy to take? Wait until she confirms...

"Stars!"

Before Su Xingchen could figure out what to do after confirming that it was Crouch Barty Jr. who stole the necklace, he was interrupted by shouting.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Harry, Ron and Hermione running towards her from the castle.

???

Did something big happen?

After class, Harry and the other two returned to Gryffindor but did not see Su Xingchen. They heard from people in the common room that she had gone out. When they went out to look for her, someone else said that they saw her heading towards the gate.

All three knew that she would no longer wander around the castle alone since the incident with Flint. Besides, how could someone so afraid of the cold go out the gate in such a cold day?

Something must have happened, that's why he ran over here in a hurry.

"Xingchen, why did you come out?" Harry always ran the fastest, followed by Ron, and then Hermione arrived.

"I came out to look for something." Su Xingchen was confused and didn't understand why they were running.

She stepped forward to calm Hermione down, after all, the top student was as bad at sports as she was.

"That's good." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. "We thought something had happened to you."

Su Xingchen felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up, outlining a perfect arc.

This smile brought life back to her face, which had been stiffened by the cold wind, and her fair cheeks were stained with a natural blush, like a light rouge on white jade.

The smile is pure and bright, like a sudden white magnolia in the cold wind.

Even the few strands of black hair that fell from the hairband looked like nimble butterflies flapping their wings, ready to fly.

Ron and Hermione opened their mouths wide, not understanding what was going on. They had known Xingchen for four years, but it seemed like they had just met her today.

Harry's expression was relatively normal, but if you looked closely you could see the slightly red tips of his ears.

"What are you two doing? Is your jaw dislocated?" Su Xingchen closed their mouths with his hands in a mischievous manner. Should we say that they are worthy of being a couple?

"By the way, what are you looking for?" Ron touched the place that had been touched just now uncomfortably.

"I lost my necklace." Su Xingchen touched his neck subconsciously.

"How did it get lost?" Harry asked.

All three of them knew about the necklace, which Xingchen had always worn.

"Let's find a place where there is no one to talk." Su Xingchen felt that it was time to share some secrets with his friends.

She never thought that the "protagonist" must be just, selfless, or a glorious and upright person.

Su Yuechen had said a long time ago that there are no good or bad people, they just have different positions.

Of course, those who commit crimes don’t count.

Therefore, even when she was hanging out with Harry and the other two, she still maintained her own bottom line.

She never told anyone about the storage bracelet, the star pendant, Agui, and so on, anything related to cultivation. Even when her magic skills were exposed, she covered them up with her family's secret method.

However, time is a good thing to verify people's hearts.

Now Su Xingchen can't say for sure, but he can guarantee with confidence: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger are people who can be trusted.

Harry Potter may not be a perfect protagonist, but he must be a perfect friend to her.

So did Hermione and Ron.

"Are you kidding me?!" Ron exclaimed from the abandoned classroom where Harry used to practice summoning spells.

His mouth hung open as wide as before, and he lowered his voice to confirm again, "You mean that thin, seemingly insignificant necklace can prevent anyone from exploring your thoughts?"

Well, actually, it's spiritual consciousness. But it's almost the same.

Su Xingchen nodded in disbelief at Ron's face.

"So, the reason the spell had no effect on you in Mad-Eye Moody's class was because of its function." Hermione, as a top student, quickly grasped the key point.

Su Xingchen nodded again.

"But now..." Hermione paced back and forth, her chin in her hand. "You suspect it was stolen on purpose?"

That's right.

"And I suspect that the person who took it was Mad-Eye Moody." Su Xingchen said carefully.

She wasn't going to say that the current Mad-Eye was Crouch Barty Jr. in disguise.

She still has to rely on the known plot to save Cedric, and the plot development must not change in any way.

As for opening your heart completely without reservation, that will probably happen a long time from now, definitely not now.

"Why do you doubt him?" Ron asked puzzled.

"Do you remember Harry said that his magic eye can see through the invisibility cloak?" Su Xingchen looked at Harry.

"That's right," Harry replied. Even though he was wearing the invisibility cloak, he was still discovered by Mad-Eye.

"So you suspect he can also see the difference in the necklace?" Hermione quickly understood what Su Xingchen meant.

"That shouldn't be possible, right? He's a professor. If he wants to know, he can just ask you directly," Ron said.

Because he is not the real Mad-Eye.

However, Su Xingchen has also thought of a reason for this.

"That's true, but you all know he's a little bit crazy." Su Xingchen pointed to his head. "It's normal for him to think differently than ordinary people."

"Dumbledore also said this." Su Xingchen also brought up a "helper" in case the three people didn't believe him.

The three of them thought about Mad-Eye's usual words and deeds and were somewhat convinced. After all, no professor would openly use the Cruciatus Curse in front of students in class.
