HP Star Shining

"They have a good relationship." No, they probably have a grudge against each other.

"Lupin called him Severus. And he said that the potion was extremely complicated. If their relationship wasn't good, why would Snape go to so much trouble to brew a potion for someone he disliked?"

Su Xingchen talked nonsense calmly, just to eliminate some of Harry's hostility towards Snape.

"You heard it, he made a whole pot of it." Although it was most likely to play a prank on Lupin, the medicine looked almost as unpalatable as Polyjuice Potion.

"So, if they were friends, of course Lupin would be unhappy."

Harry thought about it carefully and it seemed to make some sense.

Professor Lupin did not agree or refute what he said, but just abruptly asked them to leave, and he did look unhappy.

He scratched his head, as if he had messed up something. No wonder Xingchen hit him.

The two of them slowly made their way back to the common room.

It was getting dark when Ron and Hermione came back. Their faces were flushed by the cold wind and they looked like they had a lot of fun.

"Here." Ron piled a huge pile of colorful candies on Harry. "I took as much as I could."

Su Xingchen had already stated that she didn't want candy, but Hermione still picked out a candy cane for her, saying it was a new flavor.

Harry, covered in candy, listened to Ron excitedly talk about their experiences in Hogsmeade, the fudge in Honeydukes, the more than two hundred owls in the post office, and the goblins and butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks.

"I wish I could bring you some Butterbeer to warm you up."

Harry felt a little depressed again after listening to their wonderful day trip.

"What did you do?" Hermione looked at Harry worriedly. "Did you do your homework?"

"No," Harry said, "Xingchen and I went to Lupin's office for tea..." He told them about the goblet, and Ron opened his mouth in surprise.

Su Xingchen guessed that Ron's thoughts were probably similar to Harry's.

"But..." Hermione lowered her voice and glanced around uneasily, "If he wanted to... poison someone, he wouldn't do it in front of Harry."

Harry nodded. "I know."

Hermione was a little surprised; this wasn't something he would say.

Harry blushed, "Xingchen has already analyzed it with me."

So that's how it is, Hermione nodded in agreement, this is right.

Su Xingchen looked at his watch and said, "We have to go downstairs. The banquet is about to start."

Today, the auditorium was decorated with hundreds of pumpkins lit with candles, a flock of live bats fluttering around, and banners burning with orange flames, like colorful water snakes, lazily floating on the ceiling, which was brewing a storm.

A familiar-looking person was standing at the door of the auditorium.

"Hi," he greeted.

"Hi." Su Xingchen felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'm waiting for you." Cedric said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Harry, Ron and Hermione's eyes immediately looked back and forth between the two of them.

Su Xingchen opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly, "What are you waiting for me to do?" It sounded as if there was something ambiguous between the two of them.

"I heard you didn't go to Hogsmeade." His gray eyes sparkled. "I mean, I happened to see this book in a bookstore and thought you might like it." Cedric handed over a hardcover book with a black cover.

Su Xingchen didn't want to answer, she had already made up her mind to keep her distance.

But... she hesitated.

It wasn't because she liked the book so much, but Cedric knew she couldn't go to Hogsmeade and brought the book back because he was thinking of her. It would seem too unkind to refuse it.

"I..." Su Xingchen opened his mouth, but the word "no" was difficult to say.

As if he could see that she was struggling, Cedric stuffed the book into her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, I still have to go into Hufflepuff to maintain discipline." After he said that, he nodded to Harry and the others and stepped into the bustling hall.

Su Xingchen stared blankly at Cedric's back, then glanced at the big words "Goletia's Desert Adventure" on the cover. His "thank you" was as small as a mosquito, and he didn't know if anyone heard it.

Hermione looked at Harry and Ron, and she knew that she seemed to have an inexplicable task.

"Come on, it's time for us to go in," said Harry.

"Oh, okay." Su Xingchen came back to his senses and walked into the auditorium with everyone, carrying a book.

The dinner was a great success, the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed themselves.

During this time, Harry kept looking at the teachers' table. Lupin looked very happy and was chatting with the short Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Snape's eyes frequently glanced at Lupin, the number of times was abnormal.

He saw Cedric sitting in Hufflepuff, chatting and laughing with the boy next to him. He suddenly thought, how did Xingchen know to go to the kitchen? The kitchen was not far from Hufflepuff, which made people think more.

Su Xingchen met Qiu Zhang after the dinner.

Someone next to her called out "Qiu" and she looked over subconsciously.

A beautiful oriental girl turned around and smiled at the person who called her name. She was beautiful and eye-catching.

Unlike the mask she was wearing, Su Xingchen felt that Qiu Zhang looked like a truly gentle and fragile girl, but she was a Ravenclaw Seeker, which was simply incredible.

After a while, she stared at Qiu Zhang's back thoughtfully. Tsk, why does he look a little familiar?

"What are you looking at, the stars?" asked Hermione next to her.

"Look at the beauty." Su Xingchen blurted out without thinking.

Hermione followed her gaze. "It's Cho Chang."

"You know her?" Su Xingchen was surprised. Although she had never paid special attention to Qiu Zhang, she was sure that she had never seen her before, or at least she didn't have any impression of her.

"He's a Ravenclaw student, fourth year, a year above us."

"I see." No wonder she had no impression of him. She always thought Qiu Zhang was a student in the same grade as them. How could this silly boy be in a relationship between an older woman and a younger man?

Su Xingchen touched Hermione's arm, "I always feel that...she looks a little familiar, but I can't remember where."

Hermione glanced at her speechlessly, then took her face in her hands and turned it towards her. "Don't you think she looks a bit like you?"

Su Xingchen turned his face with great effort and took another look at Qiu Zhang's back, then turned to Hermione who was close by and blinked.

"If you put it that way, it does seem a bit like that."

She and Qiu both had long straight black hair and wore the same style of Hogwarts uniform. At first glance, they did look a bit similar.

If I have to say the difference, it is that Qiu Zhang is taller than her, which is really tear-jerking.
