HP Star Shining

"I'm in the same class as you, let's go together."

"Really? That's great! Thank you Draco."

Su Xingchen was very happy. It seemed that she was lucky. If she were to leave by herself, she probably wouldn't be able to find the classroom after class.

"You...why don't you want to come to Slytherin? I heard what the Sorting Hat said." On the way to the classroom, Draco asked casually.

Hmm? Why does the young master sound a little aggrieved?

"Um..." Su Xingchen blushed, looked at Goyle and Crabbe following behind Draco, and admitted that he was even more timid than a child...

"Come here and I'll tell you quietly." Su Xingchen hooked her finger at Draco and whispered the reason in his ear.

After all, she only told the Sorting Hat in her mind at the time, and no one else knew the specific reason why she didn't go to Slytherin.

Draco was surprised after hearing this, "You mean you are afraid..."

"Keep your voice down!" Su Xingchen's face turned red like a shrimp, and she felt like she was being laughed at.

Seeing her embarrassment, Draco smiled even more happily.

"In that case, I won't be angry with you anymore."

"Hmm? Why are you angry that I'm not going to Slytherin?" Su Xingchen looked puzzled, and Draco didn't seem ready to explain.

Never mind, I don't understand what young people are thinking nowadays.

With someone leading them, they soon arrived at the Potions classroom, which was in a basement.

Not only was it cold, but the various specimens in the glass jars placed along the wall made Su Xingchen shiver. It felt like an ordinary person had accidentally entered a medical laboratory, and she couldn't help but want to grab the arm of the person next to her.

In her two lifetimes combined, she had never been so frightened as she had been during those few days at Hogwarts.

Thinking that they didn't seem to be that familiar with each other, Su Xingchen's outstretched hand temporarily changed direction and grabbed Draco's sleeve tightly.

Anyway, the cuffs of the robe are so big, so you shouldn’t mind, right?

Mind... there's nothing she can do, she's just afraid. If she doesn't grab something, she's afraid she'll just run away.

This look made Draco even more convinced that Su Xingchen had not lied to him, and that she was really so - timid.

It's strange that there are wizards who are afraid of these things?

But what can I do? I think... it's kind of cute.

The students in the classroom were divided into two sides. There was a small dispute in the Gryffindor side. Harry and Ron saw Hermione come in, but did not see Su Xingchen.

After asking, he found out that Hermione had actually forgotten Su Xingchen in the hall. Harry was a little angry. He knew that Su Xingchen didn't know the way, so he planned to go out to find her.

As soon as I stood up, I saw four people appearing in the classroom together, three Slytherins and one Gryffindor.

This combination is particularly eye-catching in the clearly divided classroom.

What made Harry feel even more irritated was Su Xingchen's hand grabbing Draco's sleeve. Her white fingers were particularly conspicuous on the black robe.

He immediately thought that Su Xingchen was also scared by a spider and grabbed his arm on the first day of school, so she must have been scared by the specimen on the stairs.

Draco noticed Harry's gaze and gave him a provocative smile.

The spacious classroom and the people inside relaxed Su Xingchen's tense nerves, and he also paid attention to the situation in the classroom.

She let go of Draco's hand and prepared to say hello to him, then sat down on the Gryffindor side, when she saw Professor Snape hurriedly walk into the classroom.

Before she could react, Draco had hurriedly pulled her to sit in the Slytherin seat.

Harry was so furious that he had to be pulled by Ron several times before he could sit down.

Su Xingchen had a wooden face.

She, a Gryffindor, actually sat on the Slytherin side, and she was also a Gryffindor who refused to enter Slytherin.

A touch of red amidst the greenery is truly eye-catching! Even though only the tie is red.

She had anticipated what kind of affectionate greetings she would receive from Professor Snape, but he just glanced at her and said nothing.

This unscientific.

"You are here to learn the precise science and strict craftsmanship of potion preparation. There is no silly waving of wands or mumbling of spells here, so I don't expect all of you to experience this fascinating magic. I can teach you to improve your reputation, forge fame, and even prevent death..." Snape finished his opening remarks with an extraordinary aura, and the whole audience fell silent.

"So..." he suddenly raised his voice, "Harry Potter."

Sure enough, it came.

"A famous figure among the freshmen, what will I gain if I add powdered narcissus root to wormwood infusion?"

Harry shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. Snape curled his lips in disdain and said, "It seems that reputation doesn't mean everything. Let's try again." He completely ignored Hermione's raised arm.

"If I want to get a bezoar, where should I find it?"

Harry had no idea what a bezoar was. "I don't know, sir."

"I suppose you didn't even open a book before term started, did you, Potter?"

Draco laughed, and Su Xingchen helplessly bumped his arm and stared at him until he stopped laughing.

Harry forced himself not to look over there, staring at Snape's cold eyes. He and Su Xingchen had reviewed the lesson together at her house before school started, but who could remember so much?

Snape still ignored Hermione's trembling raised hand.

"So what's the difference between Aconitum naviculatum and Aconitum lucidum?"

We have discussed this question before, young man, please give it some strength!

Harry couldn't help but pay attention to Slytherin. Seeing Su Xingchen's eager eyes, he thought about it seriously.

"Aconitum napellus and Aconitum lucidum are the same plant, collectively known as Aconitum."

"Poor thing, you can only answer one of the three questions. It seems that even the famous Harry Potter is no better than this." Snape was very unhappy. "Let me tell you, narcissus root powder mixed with wormwood liquid can be made into a very effective sleeping pill. Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat. It has a very strong detoxifying effect."

Then he hit Seamus on the head, "Why don't you write it down?"

There was a rustling sound in the classroom.

"As for you, Potter. Talking back to the teacher will result in a point being deducted from Gryffindor."

See, she knows it.

Su Xingchen complained silently in his heart while taking notes. Fortunately, it was better to answer a question correctly than not to answer any question at all.

Potions class continued.

Today's content is to make a simple potion to treat boils, in groups of two.

Because Su Xingchen sat next to Draco, they were in pairs in this class. It was a rare sight for Gryffindor and Slytherin to work together.

Snape walked around dragging his very long black cloak, and almost all the students were criticized, except Draco... and Su Xingchen.

He seemed to have a special preference for Draco, and Su Xingchen felt that he was just taking advantage of it.

To make matters worse, Professor Snape showed all the students how perfect Draco's steamed slugs were, and now the students who hadn't noticed them before now paid attention to this strange pairing.

What a lifespan...

Then, because of Neville's mistake, Snape found an excuse to deduct one point from Harry, and Draco made a perfect potion to give Slytherin an extra point.

Su Xingchen didn’t know whether the potion was perfect or not, but anyway... she was being ignored.

get out of class is finally over.

Su Xingchen said goodbye to Draco and returned to Gryffindor.

"It's really unfair. Star also deserves half the credit for Malfoy's potion. She should also get extra points." Ron said angrily.

"Stop complaining. I heard Professor Snape is particularly unreasonable."

Harry was still unhappy about Hermione abandoning Su Xingchen, which led to her meeting Malfoy, and did not say anything.

Hermione then thought of something, and held Su Xingchen's hand, looking apologetic, "Sorry, Xingchen, I didn't mean it."

How could Su Xingchen be angry with her? It was embarrassing to let a little kid lead the way every day.

"It's okay." Su Xingchen held Hermione's hand and said teasingly, "I know that our Hermione can't extricate herself once she gets into studying."

When climbing out of the classroom stairs, Su Xingchen held Hermione's arm tightly. With familiar friends chatting around him, he was not as scared as when he came in.

After repeatedly assuring Hermione that she was not angry, Hermione finally left and continued to hang out in the library.

"Xingchen, you have such a good temper."

"She has no obligation to come back to me, right?" Su Xingchen tilted his head slightly. "Young man, it's wrong for you to do this. You will end up without a wife, do you know that?"

Ron said nothing more, and the three of them went to Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid lived in a small wooden house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, with a crossbow and a pair of rubber shoes at the door.

Harry knocked on the door and Hagrid let the three of them in while he tied up the dog.

The cabin had only one room, with a large bed covered with a quilt made of scraps of cloth, and hams and pheasants hanging from the ceiling.

"This is Xingchen." Harry introduced Hagrid, "Hello." Hagrid tried his best to give a smile that looked kind but was actually a little scary.

"Hello, Hagrid, I'm Su Xingchen." Su Xingchen said gracefully.

Hagrid nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Harry had made some very good friends.

Su Xingchen touched the big dog named Yaya out of curiosity. It was really big and ugly.

It's just too much saliva.

"Sue? Harry, what you asked me in Diagon Alley was..."

"This is Ron." Harry quickly interrupted Hagrid. He didn't want Su Xingchen to know that he had asked Hagrid about her after their first meeting.

"Oh, another Weasley. I've spent most of my life trying to get those twins out of the Forbidden Forest."

Fortunately, Hagrid's attention was immediately diverted, and Su Xingchen was so interested in visiting Hagrid's hut that he didn't notice.

Several people sat together drinking afternoon tea and chatting.

Su Xingchen sat quietly on the sofa holding a teacup and listened to their conversation. At the same time, she watched Harry and Ron pretending to like the rock cakes even though they were obviously hurting their teeth. She was very happy in her heart.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to avoid touching the various foods from the magical world easily.

Harry found the Daily Prophet that Hagrid had pressed under the teapot. It reported that Gringotts had been broken into. It was the underground vault No. 713 that he and Hagrid had visited.

He wanted to discuss the matter with Hagrid, but he brushed them off and sent them back to dinner.
