[Comprehensive] Digging Secrets in the Academy of Magic

"This is a small bow made by my father. You are a little smaller than me. I think it is better for you to use this." Katniss did not know where to find a bow that was a circle smaller than her bow and arrow, and handed it to Al.She suddenly showed a suspicious expression, and asked, "The last time I saw you, you were like this. Why has it been more than a year, and you haven't changed at all?"

"You can say it's still so short." Al replied calmly.Boys develop later than girls, and Al is two years younger than Katniss, so even though Katniss is no longer tall, Al is still half a head shorter than her, "I grow very slowly, there is no way."

George laughed out loud.

Katniss also had a little smile on her face. She stood with her legs apart and stood one after the other, holding the bow and arrow in both hands, demonstrating how to draw the bow and arrow fully: "Like this, put your hands here, Pull hard—"

Al followed suit in a standard pose, and pulled hard——

Failed to pull.The bow was only pulled halfway, and Al's cheeks were already flushed from the force.

Katniss has completely focused on her own arrow. On a tree more than 50 meters away, there is a bird that cannot be described as a species, but it is not small in size. Katniss pointed the arrow point at it : "Aim at the prey you want to shoot, draw the bow fully, let go!"

With a whoosh, Katniss' arrow hit the bird's body. She hadn't practiced enough to hit the prey's eye with every arrow.The little girl happily ran to pick up the prey she had shot down, and Al's arrow also shot out. With the same hissing sound, the arrow flew weakly a few meters away, and then hit the ground in a parabola—a little closer, It would hit Al on the toe.

George laughed and fell on the tree trunk...

Al's ears were flushed, and he walked over to pick up the arrow pretending to be calm: "Don't laugh at me, George."

"Okay." George restrained his smile obediently, "Al, I think you need to exercise more."

Al: "..."

"I'm a mage, I'm long-range, I don't need physical strength." Al muttered unhappily.

"What are you?" Katniss picked up the prey and walked back, hearing Al muttering.

"Nothing." Al said quickly.

"Come on, stand up as I taught you just now, and I'll teach you again." Katniss put the birds and squirrels together, smiling all over her face.Today is a bumper harvest, and the prey can get a lot of money, and there are candies for Prim in their pockets.

Al, who was about to give up archery just now, stood up immediately.Katniss is a sharpshooter and a long-range fighter.

Pulling the bow again—or just a little bit, Katniss stood behind Al, the two were very close, she held Al's left hand holding the bow with one hand, and held Al's left hand with the other hand. The right hand holding the bowstring and arrows almost hugged Al into his arms.

George's face suddenly elongated.

You are still so young, you can't just be so ambiguous with girls!

The short-term crash course did not improve the learning of the bow. After teaching for a while, Al could only keep the arrow from hitting his toes.The sun was setting and Katniss had to go back.

She said goodbye to Al George with some reluctance, and before leaving, she asked, "When will you come again?"

Al pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "I will definitely come again, take good care of yourself and your family."

The corners of George's mouth began to twitch slightly again.Why is it so like lovers parting...

After the back of Katniss disappeared behind the tree and was no longer seen, Al finally retracted his gaze, blinked, and his eye sockets were slightly moist.

Seeing Al's expression, George said in disbelief, "Isn't it? Do you like her so much?"

"No." Al looked sad, "You don't understand."

George: "..."

They climbed back to the hole in the tree they had come from.This time, we need to climb up first. The inner wall of the tree hole is quite smooth. Al climbed up with the help of George very hard. It is very miraculous. There is no abnormal tree hole on the outside. After that, it became a horizontal narrow passage again.

Maybe they should find a chance to go to Peeta's pigsty to see if the vent can still lead back to Hogwarts, but Al has a hunch that the entrance should no longer work.

On the way back, Aldu was in a low mood.He knew Katniss' fate: at the age of 16, her younger sister would be selected as a tribute, and in order to save her 12-year-old little sister, Katniss had to replace her as a tribute to participate in the Hunger Games.Although she won the Hunger Games with fellow District [-] Peeta pretending to be a lover, her actions were seen as a rebellion against the government.

Then came the second Hunger Games, injured, dying... rescued to District [-], and became a mockingjay.Peeta became a weapon used by the capital to torture her, and the rebel president wanted to kill her after squeezing her value.

Katniss wanted to go to the capital to assassinate the president, but saw her sister was blown to death in front of her eyes.

That is her most cherished sister.

What's more, the bomb that blew up her sister was invented by her best friend Gail.

Katniss is nothing more than that.How similar her life is to Harry's, they are both involuntarily involved in the struggle of two strands of power, and are forced to face challenges to their own lives at a very young age.

When Al used to read books, he was just a bystander looking at their lives, but he was suddenly thrown into the world of these people and became friends with them.

Harry Potter and Katniss Avedin, are real people, not just a name in a book.

If Al knew where their lives were headed every step of the way, why didn't he make an effort to change things?

At the very least, Al might be able to protect the one they hold dear.

"Al, are you okay?"

Carrying Al out of the secret passage, George asked worriedly while leading him to avoid Filch who might be patrolling.

He didn't say a word in the secret way, but now his expression is even more solemn.George couldn't help worrying whether he had lost his mind by learning archery.

"Not very good." Al looked out the window and found that the sky was no different from when they left, as if time hadn't passed at all. What time was it when they left, and what time is it now.

But they spent at least one afternoon in the world of the Hunger Games.

Recalling the last time he saw Katniss in front of Peeta's house, it was only a few days for the two little wizards, but more than a year for Katniss. .

Judging from this, Katniss has already experienced everything within a few days of learning in the wizarding world?

But Al is only 11 years old now, how can he help Katniss?

Al and George passed the courtyard and saw the little wizards still having snowball fights.They didn't join in, but went back to the dormitory to change their clothes—a lot of dust was already on the clothes.

Changing back to the school uniform and robes, Al changed from a Muggle gentleman back to a Hogwarts first-year wizard.He walked out of the Slytherin cellar, somewhat surprised to find George waiting for him at the door.

Thanks to sending Al back to the dormitory several times, George is already familiar with Slytherin.Al originally wanted to find Draco, but now he followed George and walked outside Hogwarts Castle.

In order to avoid the courtyard where the little wizards were playing, George led him out from behind a portrait.I don't know how he discovered this secret passage, but George doesn't seem to have it as a secret, and he should keep it from Al.He took Al all the way to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid's cabin was nearby, and Hagrid's loud singing could be heard from the house—the tune had gone to Romania.

George stooped, and ran secretly along the pumpkin patch to the Forbidden Forest, Al followed behind him, and couldn't help laughing.

Hagrid spent almost half of his life driving the Weasley twins out of the Forbidden Forest. Now not only Weasley, but even Malfoy are going to the Forbidden Forest.

"What fun is there in the Forbidden Forest?" Al asked, "I heard it's dangerous, there are werewolves, and there are many magical creatures."

"It's really dangerous, and we're only a little deeper than in class." George took Al's hand naturally, "Follow me, I'll take you to see something interesting, don't get lost."

Al followed him quietly, looking at the surrounding scenery curiously as he walked.The trees in the Forbidden Forest are taller and more lush than the trees in the Hunger Games District [-] forest. These trees are not ordinary trees. Each of them is tens of meters high, and the dappled sunlight can barely shine through the gaps between the lush branches and leaves. , Al wasn't sure if he saw some little shiny thing dancing among the leaves.

The deeper you go in the Forbidden Forest, the lower the temperature and the worse the light.Al gathered his robe, feeling a little cold.George's hands were very warm, and he didn't seem to feel the cold at all: "It's almost here."

After strenuously crossing two big trees that were almost side by side, Al's eyes suddenly brightened.A blue water pool is inlaid in the middle of the open space like Kashmir sapphires. The sun is not blocked, and the water is cast on the water, sparkling.Al saw the little things he had just seen among the leaves again. They were only one palm long, and compared to their finger-sized bodies, the wings on their backs were extremely conspicuous, reflecting diamond-like light in the sunlight.

"What are these?" Al asked almost in a breathy voice, for fear that a louder voice would scare away these beautiful little things.

"These are Devonshire elves. They are distantly related to Cornish elves, but Devonshire elves are much cuter than Cornish elves. They are very friendly to wizards." George also replied softly, " There are very few such elves, and I think it is only here, except in Devonshire."

"They're beautiful." Al sighed in a low voice.George led him slowly towards the pool, and the gathered Devonshire elves immediately dispersed, but they did not leave. Instead, they stood beside the two little wizards in twos and threes. Al heard them making a small sound, which seemed to be talking to each other.

George and Al were sitting on the rocks at the edge of the pool, and after a while, elves flew over. They seemed to be very curious about Al, and they stopped on Al's shoulders for a while, and sat on top of his head for a while. As long as Al moved a little, they would be startled. Scattered and flew away, and then slowly gathered after a while.

"They're very curious, and they can't understand wizards. They're already familiar with me, but it's your first time." George explained, "So I guess if you see this, you might feel better .”

"Isn't this the secret base of you and Fred? Does it matter if you bring me here?" Al really felt much better and asked with a smile.

George seemed to be happy too: "It's okay, he will understand."
