HP Star Shining

After Neville left, Harry said helplessly, "Dumbledore again. My first time was..." He flipped through the pictures and then took a breath. "I found him. I said I must have seen him somewhere."

Harry carefully read the introduction on the card: "Dumbledore's well-known contributions include defeating the Dark wizard Grindelwald in 1954, discovering the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his outstanding achievements in alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel."

Hermione jumped up, excited for the first time since her first homework grade came out.

"Wait." She rushed back to the dormitory. Before Harry and Ron had time to exchange a puzzled look, she rushed back with a huge old book in her arms.

"I borrowed this from the library a few days ago for entertainment."

"Entertainment?" Ron exclaimed, looking at the huge book.

"Silence," Hermione whispered excitedly, flipping through the pages rapidly. "There you have it, Nicolas Flamel, the only known creator of the Philosopher's Stone."

However, her words did not have the effect she expected.

"What stone?" asked Harry and Ron.

"Don't you two usually read a book? Xingchen, do you know the Philosopher's Stone?"

Seeing Hermione's expectant face, Su Xingchen nodded, considering that as her friend, a top student, he couldn't embarrass her.

"The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold. It can also create an elixir of life. Anyone who drinks this elixir will never die."

"I beg you two to read more!" Hermione pushed the book over. "Come and read this paragraph."

"The only remaining Philosopher's Stone belongs to Nicolas Flamel, who celebrated his 665th birthday last year and now lives in seclusion in Devon with his wife."

"Do you understand?" Hermione continued after Harry and Ron finished reading. "That dog must be guarding the Philosopher's Stone. He's a friend of Dumbledore's, and when he knew someone was planning to take the Stone, he asked him to help guard it."

"A stone that turns into gold and grants immortality," said Harry. "No wonder Snape wanted it. Anyone would want it."

The next day in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Su Xingchen looked at Professor Quirrell, who was stuttering during the lecture, and then looked at Harry and Ron, who were recording various treatments for werewolf bites while chatting about what they would do if they got the Philosopher's Stone, thinking about how to subtly remind them to be careful of Quirrell.

Fortunately, this was the first year, so the danger was the lowest and Harry could take care of Quirrell with just his bare hands.

The weekly Potions class was a torture for Harry. Snape was always mean to him, and he even had a terrible feeling that Snape could see through his inner thoughts.

As the game approached, Harry became more and more nervous, and the other team members were also anxious. They had not won a championship in nearly seven years. If they won this time, they could compete with Slytherin for the house cup.

But Snape is the referee, can they win?

The field was noisy again. Harry put on his Quidditch uniform and took his Nimbus 2000, but he didn't listen to Wood's words of encouragement at all.

Su Xingchen, Hermione and Ron found a place to sit next to Neville. Neville didn't understand why Hermione and Ron brought their wands to watch the game.

Su Xingchen was helpless. These two seemed to have been inspired since the last Neville incident. They had been practicing the Leg Locking Curse recently and were ready to lock Snape at any time.

All the teachers and students in the school are here today, even Dumbledore is here.

Harry felt relieved all of a sudden. He was no longer in danger. Snape would definitely not dare to hurt him in front of Dumbledore.

The game was as exciting as ever, and Hermione even stood up and whistled.

As usual, Su Xingchen only saw many people flying around, and could only occasionally see who had the ball.

It seems that I don’t have the athletic talent, Su Xingchen couldn’t help but sigh.

Harry suddenly did a beautiful dive, and the audience exclaimed and cheered.

"Hurry up! Harry!" Hermione screamed, jumping onto her seat.

In the air, Snape just turned around on the broom and saw a golden object whizzing past his ear.

Then Harry stopped diving and raised his arm in triumph, the Snitch firmly grasped in his hand.

The stands were boiling with excitement. This was a new record. No one could remember a game where the Golden Snitch had been caught so quickly!

Harry jumped off his broomstick a foot above the ground and couldn't believe it—he had done it! The game was over, just five minutes after it had started.

Snape dropped down beside him, his lips set in a tight line.

A large hand rested on Harry's shoulder. "Well done," Dumbledore said softly, so only Harry could hear. "I'm glad to see you're living a fulfilling life and not dwelling on that mirror all day. That's good."

The Gryffindors rushed into the stadium, carrying Harry on their shoulders and cheering, Hermione and Ron jumped up and down beside them, and Su Xingchen watched with a smile from a distance.

After the incident with the magic mirror, Harry always had a vague sense of alienation towards her, but she could understand it. If her eleven-year-old self in her previous life had finally met her parents but was disillusioned by her friends, it would probably be more than just an alienation.

At such a happy and important moment, Su Xingchen wisely chose not to go over, so as not to upset others.

It just so happens that I don’t have classes all day, so I have plenty of time to practice finding my way.

Su Xingchen had a deep understanding of the saying "it is better to rely on oneself than on others" in his previous life.

Last semester, Su Xingchen was immersed in the feeling of being abandoned. At the beginning of this semester, Su Xingchen followed the three of them. He tried hard to remember the route every time and also tried to walk it by himself in his spare time - every time ended in failure.

So much so that later, whenever the Gryffindor classmates saw Su Xingchen standing alone in the middle of the road, they would enthusiastically ask her where she was going.

She didn't remember having a problem with directions in her previous life, but in this life... she had only tried it in the Su family manor, but this must be because the roads in the manor and the castle were too complicated.

Su Xingchen hesitated at a three-way intersection again. Now almost all the students in the school were still on the court.

At this time, three or four Hufflepuff boys who looked fifteen or sixteen years old passed behind Su Xingchen.

Hufflepuff + senior year = not knowing yourself = not knowing you are directionally challenged

Su Xingchen trotted over and caught up.

"Excuse me..." Several boys turned around and their eyes lit up when they saw Su Xingchen. Two of them even giggled at her and started talking in low voices.

What's wrong? I've never heard of a weirdo in Hufflepuff... Su Xingchen took a step back, ready to give up asking for directions.

"What's the matter?" asked one of the normal-looking and handsome boys.

He has black hair, gray pupils, a straight nose, deep facial features, and looks very elegant.

Wow, he’s such a handsome guy. With his looks, he can be elected as the school idol.

But for Su Xingchen, who has been facing Su Yuechen's beauty attack all year round, it's a piece of cake.

"Um... I just want to ask, do you know which way to get to the Gryffindor common room?" Su Xingchen pointed to the three roads in front.

The handsome boy smiled and said, "I know you."

"Huh?" Su Xingchen was confused. She didn't remember having seen this boy before?

"I saw you at the Sorting Hat ceremony. I heard that there was a first-year girl in Gryffindor who always introduced herself with her last name before her first name, and she often got lost..."

Su Xingchen was silent and wanted to retort that she didn't get lost often.

But she is probably the only one in the whole Hogwarts who puts her surname before her first name.

I never thought I would become famous in Hogwarts in this way in my lifetime.

So everyone in the school knows that I’m directionally challenged, right?

"Don't you know me?" the boy asked.

"What?" Su Xingchen looked at him with a puzzled look, "Should I know you?"

"I thought you should have seen me before." The boy smiled helplessly, "After all, we just played a game against Gryffindor, and I'm the Seeker for Hufflepuff."

So you are the unlucky guy who is competing against the male protagonist today. So while the winner is still celebrating on the court, you have already returned in disgrace, right?

The look in his eyes was immediately filled with sympathy.

Su Xingchen's eyes made the boy laugh out loud. He stretched out a slender and beautiful hand and said, "You are so funny. My name is Cedric, Cedric Diggory. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Su Xingchen."

Su Xingchen gently held the boy's hand and immediately let go. Cedric? Such a familiar name.

"You're going back to the Gryffindor common room, take this way." Cedric pointed to the road on the left.

"OK, thanks."

Su Xingchen walked without hesitation, which made Cedric laugh again.

Such soft hands, he thought.

Today wasn't a completely bad day either.

Su Xingchen walked while wondering where he had heard this name, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

Cedric, the boy who appeared in Harry Potter's fourth year, the outstanding boy who died at the hands of Voldemort.

Thinking of the boy just now, Su Xingchen lowered his eyes. What a pity.

So, this is basically another real world.

Just because Cedric only appears in the fourth grade, it doesn't mean that he didn't exist in the previous three years.

If that's the case, Qiu Zhang should also be there. Which college is she from? I'd like to take a look when I get a chance.

Su Xingchen was thinking about all sorts of things as he walked. For the first time, he arrived at the right place after only asking for directions once!

It was dark when Harry put away his broom and returned to Hogwarts alone.

"Harry, where have you been?" Hermione screamed.

"We won! You won!" Ron patted Harry's back heavily. "Everyone is waiting for you in the common room. We're planning a celebration. Fred and George stole some cakes and other things from the kitchen."

"Where's the stars?" Harry asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen her since the game. She might be in the dormitory."

Harry couldn't tell what he felt, but he felt a little empty.

In fact, he had seen Su Xingchen leave before. After all, he was on other people's shoulders and could see it clearly.

"Let's find a deserted place first..." Harry recounted what he had seen when he followed Snape into the Forbidden Forest. The three of them believed that Snape had threatened Quirrell to help steal the things guarded by the three-headed dog.
