Chapter 7: Emily Victoria (Ask for Referral Votes!)
The honey cake at Duke Bee's candy shop was delicious, but it was so sweet that Link couldn't get tired of eating it after just a few bites.
Madam Pomfrey obviously knew this, and she didn't try to persuade Link to eat more, but just stroked Link's smooth pale blonde hair and said things like 'Little Link is so pathetic' and 'Little Link, you were so careless'.
Link was a little embarrassed because Madam Pomfrey was a little too good to him, which was obviously not normal.
Cedric on the side was obviously more embarrassed than Link, and after entering the house, he still urged Madam Pomfrey several times, but the other party completely ignored him.
"Grandma Pomfrey, we're really leaving. Seeing that Cedric was in a hurry, Link hurriedly said, "Professor Sprout will be angry if she waits too long." ”
"She dare!" Madam Pomfrey was instantly furious at Link's change of title and pitiful tone, "but it's not too early, you can go to the office early and go to bed early, you know? I'll go see those two little ones first." ”
With that, Madam Pomfrey turned around and walked out of the back room quickly, giving Link a 'I'll avenge you' look before leaving.
Seeing this, Cedric finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Link smiled and pushed the cake on the plate in Cedric's direction:
"Do you want to eat?"
"No, no, it's so sweet, I can't stand it. Cedric instinctively shook his hand, but soon seemed to realize something, and hurriedly pulled Link out, "Okay, let's go, Professor Sprout is still waiting for us!"
Link didn't put up a fight, allowing Cedric to pull him out of the back room.
As soon as they stepped out of the back room, Link and Cedric heard a shrill scream coming from the two Hufflepuff boys' hospital room.
This made Cedric's expression a little dark, but he didn't say much, and continued to silently lead Link forward.
Professor Sprout's office was also on the first floor, not far from the infirmary, so Cedric had been around his destination for a short time with Link.
However, around the last corner before arriving at the office, Cedric suddenly stopped.
This surprised Link, who instinctively tilted his head to look around Cedric, only to see four Slytherin students in the shadows around the corner in front of him, a total of four Slytherin students, a woman and three men, silently watching them.
The girl at the head is very beautiful, with soft short and medium black hair draped over her shoulders casually, and there seems to be starlight twinkling in those light blue eyes, which makes people can't help but want to look closer.
The other three men, Mike, are familiar with Harry Potter's old rival in the books, Draco Malfoy, a small man with platinum blonde hair, and his two tall henchmen, Goyle and Crabbe.
It's just that the four of them are looking a little funny now.
Draco and the three older boys hid behind the girl in unison, looking terrified, regardless of whether the girl's tall body could completely block them.
But the black-haired girl was holding her chest with her hands, with a cold and proud face.
Such a contrast made Link a little confused for a while.
"Link, stay behind me and don't look at them!"
Cedric spoke suddenly, and at the same time reached out and pulled Link behind him.
Link instinctively withdrew his gaze and nodded, only to find that Cedric had already pulled out his wand.
This made Link's heart lift immediately.
The spell he has now is only a full spell, and he has no combat power at all, and if he really fights, he will be a drag.
Licking his somewhat dry lips, Link obediently followed behind Cedric and slowly walked past the four of them.
Luckily, the conflict that Link feared didn't happen, and the four of them just watched them silently and didn't do anything else.
It wasn't until the door to Professor Sprout's office appeared in front of them that Cedric breathed a sigh of relief.
Link also opened his mouth at the right time to ask:
"Who are those people just now?"
"Those three boys should be freshmen this year, you don't have to worry too much. Cedric said in a serious tone, "And the girl is a second-year student named Emily Victoria." She's a very bad person, and she's been bullying our Hufflepuff classmates since she was in first year because she's so much loved by the professors, so she's never been punished. You must walk around when you see her in the future!"
"I see. ”
Link nodded, but the expression on his face was a little solemn.
Although the girl named Emily seemed to be wary of Cedric on the surface, in fact, her attention was always on Link.
Link is pretty sure of this, because he was a professional detective in his previous life and is very sensitive to this feeling of being watched.
And this is not a good sign, combined with what Cedric said, the other party's next target is likely to be Link himself!
The thought of this made Link feel a little irritated.
Cedric on the side also saw Link's thoughts, he gently patted Link's shoulder, gave him a reassuring look and said:
"Don't worry, I'll protect you just like I did last year. ”
With that, he didn't care about Link's expression, and directly pushed open the door and walked into the office with Link.
Professor Sprout's office was huge, almost half the size of a classroom.
But it doesn't look like a professor's office, but more like a flower room.
It's full of greenery, full of pots and farm tools such as shovels and hoes blooming with all kinds of flowers, and even the air is filled with a complex smell of earthy smell and floral aromas.
One of the most striking is the wall behind the gate, which is covered with green vines.
These vines look a bit like creepers, but they are thicker and greener than creepers.
Link had just gotten a little closer when Cedric jerked him back.
"Don't touch them! That's the devil's vine!"
Link immediately took two more steps back, although he didn't know what the devil vine was, but it was definitely not a good thing to call it a name.
Cedric breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and poked into the office, but did not find Professor Sprout, so he tentatively spoke:
"Dean Sprout, are you there?"
"Ah, you're here!"
Professor Sprout's gentle voice came from under the innermost desk in the office, and Link and Cedric heard the sound only to see Professor Sprout slowly crawling out of a trapdoor on the floor, carrying a large bag of fertilizer.
