HP Star Shining

Harry sat down opposite her. She leaned forward with her elbows on the table. Seeing his somewhat dejected expression, she suddenly said, "Let's play chess."

Harry wasn't really in the mood to play chess, but he nodded anyway.

Su Xingchen took out a chessboard. It looked a little strange. Harry had never seen it before. "This doesn't look like wizard chess."

"I didn't say anything about playing wizard chess." Wizard chess was too noisy, and her head was buzzing when she played it. It just so happened that she accidentally found this set of chess pieces in her storage bracelet during the holiday.

"This is called Gobang." Su Xingchen said as he took out the black and white chess pieces and pushed the black chess piece to Harry.

"But I can't." Harry picked up a strange round chess piece and looked at it.

"I'll teach you. It's super easy. I guarantee you can learn it in one minute." Su Xingchen looked very excited.

Compared to the noisy and violent wizard chess, she prefers Gobang, which is simple and fun.

Most importantly, she doesn't know how to play Go.

After simple instruction, Harry quickly got the hang of it, and he gradually discovered that this kind of fun was completely different from wizard chess.

As someone who had been fighting with Ron on the wizard chessboard for many years, Harry gradually became proficient in Go after becoming familiar with the rules of Gomoku.

It only took him one morning to go from a "terrible" defeat at the beginning, to being "equally matched" in the middle, and finally to defeating Su Xingchen "without leaving a single piece of armor behind".

"I didn't expect you to be so good, Harry." Su Xingchen silently put away the chess pieces. Losing so many games seemed to make her look very smart.

Harry said with some pride, "It is indeed quite interesting." After all, Wizarding Chess is very energy-consuming, while Gobang is simple and easy.

He glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It's time to go eat."

Su Xingchen secretly hooked her finger at Harry, and when he came closer, she whispered a few words to him.

"You want to go..."

"Shh!"

Harry's voice of surprise was quite loud, and Su Xingchen was so scared that she covered his mouth with her hand.

"Keep your voice down." She looked around guiltily, "You have to help me, okay?"

Harry nodded, the soft touch leaving his lips.

Su Xingchen packed up the chessboard happily. Her happiness today came from the fact that most of her classmates and senior students had gone to Hogsmeade, so no one would call her a good girl, and the junior students would certainly not dare to do so.

Secondly, there are only a few people left in Hogwarts, which is a good time to steal food.

Unfortunately, she really didn't know how to deal with those elves who were threatening to die when they heard that she was going to do it herself, so she had to find an "accomplice".

Looking across Hogwarts, the only people who are keen on breaking school rules are the Weasley twins and Harry Potter.

Because there is no psychological burden in dragging him into this.

The two of them sneaked into the kitchen, and Su Xingchen used all his life's knowledge to make tomato and eggs, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and a dish of cola chicken wings.

She couldn't do any more.

Harry was responsible for keeping the Weeping Elves at bay for her.

The elves working in the kitchen were crying so hard that their heads were hurt. Su Xingchen and Harry put the dishes into lunch boxes, put on invisibility cloaks and sneaked into the boys' dormitory. After all, their dishes were completely different from those at Hogwarts and could not be seen by others.

Harry was the only one in the dormitory today, just like Su Xingchen was the only one in the girls' dormitory. Unfortunately, Harry couldn't enter the girls' dormitory.

This was Su Xingchen's second time stepping into this place. She took a look and it seemed a little different from the last time.

"It's a bit messy." Harry hurriedly tidied up the clutter on the floor, trying to make it look as tidy as possible.

"It doesn't matter." Su Xingchen smiled secretly, she knew what was different.

Last holiday everyone was away, and only Harry and Ron were there, so it wasn't as messy as it is now. But with so many boys living together, it's pretty good that there weren't any smelly socks.

Moreover, most wizards like the beauty of clutter, just like the Weasley house. Mrs. Weasley keeps it clean and tidy, but it is also filled with all kinds of things.

The two of them sat on the floor in the middle of the tidied dormitory, and Harry pushed out his large trunk to use as a table.

In fact, Su Xingchen wanted to say that it would be fine to just put it on the floor, she didn't care. After all, the floor was enchanted and dust-free, but Harry insisted.

Well, maybe he felt that putting it on the floor looked like a dog's meal? Su Xingchen thought so.

"Is it delicious?" After Harry tasted all the dishes, she asked with anticipation. She learned how to make cola chicken wings from Agui, and this was the first time she made it on her own.

"It's delicious." Harry smiled and took another bite of the chicken wing.

"That's good." Su Xingchen was satisfied, with a little pride on his face. No chef doesn't like to be praised. "It seems that I do have some talent in cooking."

"Very talented." Harry knew that the taste was nothing compared to the dishes made by Butler Aqua that he had tasted.

But…this is different.

Harry looked at Su Xingchen. She was lowering her head to pick up some food. Her long black hair was casually tied into a ponytail and thrown behind her because of cooking. Only a few strands fell down as she moved.

One strand hung on her delicate cheek, and the other was hooked at the corner of her crimson lips.

An unknown emotion flashed through his emerald green eyes, and he looked away before Su Xingchen noticed.

Harry looked at the three plates on the box again. This was the first time he had eaten Xingchen's cooking, and he also liked seeing the stars in her eyes shining with approval.

Every time Xingchen would find a way to make herself forget the unhappy things. Thinking of this, the regret of not being able to go to Hogsmeade seemed to be alleviated a little.

"Harry? Why are you in a daze? Is the food not delicious?" A white hand waved in front of his eyes.

Harry pulled his thoughts back, "No."

"Then eat quickly." Su Xingchen picked up his bowl. If he wasn't eating actively, there must be something wrong with his mind. Is this kid still thinking about Hogsmeade?

"Okay." Harry quickly scooped a large spoonful of vegetables into his bowl.

After the two of them had eaten to their heart's content, Harry suddenly suggested going to see Hedwig. Su Xingchen thought of going to the long staircase in the Owlery and wanted to send Harry there alone, but unfortunately he disagreed and dragged Su Xingchen out of the common room.

"Why do you suddenly want to go see Hedwig?" Su Xingchen asked as they walked side by side in a corridor. She was dizzy after eating and wanted to sleep.

"I don't know, I just suddenly wanted to go."

So Su Xingchen gave up the idea of ​​bringing it up. As for the protagonist's inexplicable and sudden idea, it was probably because of a plot, right?

As they passed the door of a room, a voice came from inside, "Harry?"

Harry turned back to see who had spoken, and the door opened to reveal Professor Lupin's face.

Su Xingchen understood in his heart, so that's how it is. Being able to hear footsteps through a door is true love.
