Cedric finally came out, and in fact, in the original work, I still like this character quite a lot, but it's a pity that Aunt JK is really ......

But at least in my article, he will never die, don't worry.

Ps: In this chapter, Xiao Ao continues to be sluggish and natural, and Draco will accept his fate.

===========================================

Sword 8 (upright): Bad news.

、

Hogwarts Slytherin common room

、

"What are you going to do for the third year?"

After a month of regrouping and resting, Slytherin and Gryffindor, who had suffered from a large brawl and suffered from a large number of brawls, finally rested and resumed the small friction that came and went back to the past.

After Quidditch training in March, which had taken up almost all of their free time, the Slytherin Fours finally met again in the common room during the brief Easter break.

And the person who started the topic was Pansy without exception.

[Although I'm interested in astrology, it's a fifth-grade course after all, and now it's a third-grade divination that I honestly don't think it's interesting.] ]

Holding his chin, Opal looked at the list of third-grade elective courses in his hand, [as well as magic pattern research and magic prop making...... The subjects I am interested in are only available from the fourth grade and above, and the elective courses in the third year are really ......]

She hadn't finished her sentence, but the other three in the room knew exactly what she was trying to say - because they were a little unmotivated about the third-grade elective class.

"That's true, but after all, the credits are here, and you always have to choose some."

Draco pushed the course list in front of him forward, "My father's advice to me is magic, after all, the family accounts are something I have to pay attention to. But honestly, I really don't think Hogwarts education is more proficient in this subject than my governess. ”

"If you can, I personally suggest that it would be better to use divination and magic etiquette classes to mix credits."

Pansy shrugged her shoulders and threw the class schedule on the table, "But I've heard others say that it seems like a lot of people in the other three houses choose to mix up the credits with Muggle studies. ”

"No way, who let so many hybrids live among them."

Draco looked disgusted at this, "But the last thing we need is a magic etiquette class, right?" ”

"But Draco, you have to admit that the credits for this course are not too small. It's a good choice for mixed points. ”

Brace, who threw the class table into the air and stabbed it a few times with his wand, looked at the class table that was poked in the wand with a helpless look, "Divination, etiquette, Muggle...... Hmm, it's probably because this ancient deduction is more to my liking. ”

"Ha, you really have a good character."

Pansy, who was used to arguing with Blaise, almost immediately ridiculed, "Do you want to choose again?" Do you need me to borrow your course list? ”

"I'll lend you you! As long as you don't ask me for a good one afterwards. ”

"What are you talking about, am I such a stingy person?"

"Isn't it?"

"Brace, you haven't been on the house for three days, right?"

"Shhh...... The gentleman doesn't move his hands! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a woman."

“#￥#￥%@……”

……

"So, what do you think, Opal?"

Calmly and selectively ignoring the happy couple who had already made a mess on the side, Draco looked at Opal, who seemed to be thinking about it, holding his cheeks.

[As Pansy had said before, the third-year electives were meant to be mixed, so I was going to choose magical etiquette, wildlife care, divination, Muggle studies, and herb cultivation.] Draco, what do you say? ]

"So much?"

Draco was slightly stunned, "Did you arrange it after school?" ”

[I borrowed the course schedule of this semester for third-year students and studied it, although there is a time conflict, but I don't fight, just take some time off.] ]

Opal shook another piece of paper in his hand, [Because we will definitely get busier and busier after entering the third grade, but if the credits are insufficient, even if we pass the graded exam, there is no way to graduate.] So it's important to catch a little more when you can now. ]

"Indeed...... Then I choose magic etiquette, magic calculation, and herb cultivation...... How about plus divination and Muggle studies? ”

[Draco, you must hate Muggles, right?] ]

Opal stared at him suspiciously, only to get a nonchalant smile on Draco's face, "I'm annoying, what's wrong?" ”

[I don't think it's okay to learn about something when you hate it.] Our goal now is to earn credit, and if you're so sure, ancient deduction and historical war theory might be a better fit for you than divination and Muggle studies. ]

"But ......"

Hearing Opal's words, Draco couldn't help but frown.

"Opal, don't you think that if this is arranged, the only electives that Draco can take with you are magic etiquette and herb cultivation?"

But Brace, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject.

[What's wrong with that?] ]

Tilting his head, Opal's expression at the moment was full of doubt, [Good friends don't have to stick together every day. Didn't Draco come over like this when he was busy training in Quidditch all day? ]

“……”

Draco's face was slightly ugly at the moment, but he didn't say anything. Brace sneered, but then suffered from Draco's kick and Pansy's pinch.

[Pansy, what do you say?] ]

"Me?"

Pansy, who let go of her hand, ticked off the course selection list she had in hand, "Muggle studies, divination, and magical etiquette are ready...... Well, add an ancient deduction. There are enough credits and not many classes. ”

"Then I am the ...... of magic etiquette and ancient deduction"

Brace also ticked off his schedule, "Add another one to take care of the wildlife, and you will have to take care of Opal when the time comes." ”

[That's totally fine.] ]

Nodding his head, Opal also ticked off his class schedule and turned to look at Draco, who was turning his pen and didn't know what he was thinking, [Draco, what about you?] Have the lessons been decided? ]

"Magic calculations, herb cultivation and magic etiquette, plus the theory of historical warfare."

After a slight pause, Draco glanced at Opal with some hatred, and filled out the course selection form in front of him, "I'll go out for Quidditch training later...... Then again, Opar, aren't you really going to watch the Quidditch House Cup this time? It's all the finals. ”

[Spare me, Draco......]

Opal couldn't help but roll his eyes, [How many times have I been to see Quidditch and not get a bunch of things?] If you want to train normally, don't pull me over. ]

Brace and Pansy on the side were snickering there - no way, Opal didn't know why, he was very popular with Bludger and the Golden Snitch, and every time he went to see Draco, he would basically trigger the Bludger and the Golden Snitch to go on a rampage, causing the training to be interrupted, so Opal had been strictly forbidden to approach the training ground by the Slytherin captain. It's just that for some knowable reason, Draco never gave up on the idea of letting Opal come to see him train.

As for Opal's sluggishness in this regard...... To be honest, even Brace and Pansy had given up the joke in despair and were just watching the show on the sidelines, and Draco was still there with repeated defeats.

"Okay......"

Because what Opal said was the truth, Draco obviously choked up, and finally shook his head in frustration and stopped trying, while Brace on the side patted him on the shoulder with a sympathetic look, only to be glared at by a certain little dragon with a stomach full of resentment.

As for Pansy...... It wasn't too late for her to snicker on her belly, but the next minute she was pounced on by Brace's stimulated fangs and claws.

[You guys......]

Looking at Blaise and Pansy, who had been unilaterally crumpled together, Opar, who really felt that he was not interested in their "beating, scolding, and loving" mode of joy and hatred, could only helplessly pull Draco, who had also habitually ignored the two of them, to start studying his recent holiday homework.

==================== I am ==================== dividing line of the passage of time

Hogwarts Great Hall

、

{…… Kill ...... this time}

[Again......]

Before he could leave the Great Hall, Opal couldn't help but stop and complained helplessly, [Although it is said that it has passed the hibernation period, it has woken up so early...... This guy is too energetic, isn't he? ]

{…… Let me tear ...... Tear ......}

"What's wrong?"

Draco, who was walking beside him, looked at her a little puzzled, but then reacted, "Is that the voice that belongs to the Chamber of Secrets?" Do you hear again? ”

[hmm......]

Turning his head and looking at the inner hallway wall with some helplessness, Opal sighed [I didn't respond for a winter, I thought that guy could settle down for a while. I didn't expect to wake up just after the beginning of spring......]

"I'll notify the other Head of Year and Head of Year later."

Frowning, Draco had always handled his share of affairs neatly, "But what are you going to do later, Opal?" ”

[As you can see, go to the library and return the book.] And I just got a notification this morning that the book I wanted to borrow has been returned. ]

Opal just shrugged his shoulders as he was holding a large stack of books in his hand, [Then Draco, cheer for today's Quidditch match!] ]

"I'm not going to lose to those stupid lions in Gryffindor anyway."

Compared to Draco's confidence, Opal didn't care much, after all, she wasn't interested in this aspect, so she waved goodbye to Draco and walked towards the library.

[Ah...... Thank you. ]

As soon as he turned the corner of the staircase, Opal was struck by a man who suddenly burst out, and his center of gravity was unstable and he almost fell down the staircase again—if it weren't for the timely pull from the side.

As for the book she was holding, it had been scattered on the entire first floor at the moment.

"You're welcome, you'd better be careful when cornering."

The person who helped smiled at Opal's thanks, "Because there are many reckless people, not every time you can be lucky enough to be supported by others." ”

He is a boy with beautiful dark brown hair that is close to black, his facial features look well-defined, and his temperament reveals a strong British aristocratic demeanor.

Opal knew the man, he was Cedric Diggory, Huffpuff's fifth-grader. And the reason why I know him is because when Draco was pulled to supplement his knowledge of Quidditch, he once mentioned that he was the gold medal seeker of the Hufflepuff Academy.

[That's true.] ]

Smiling and nodding to accept his kind reminder, Opal turned his gaze to the direction where the person had just run away, and after recognizing that person as Hermione, he couldn't help frowning, [I really don't know what urgency she has, she can't even stop when she bumps into someone.] ]

"There might be something urgent."

Here, Cedric, who had already helped Opal pick up the scattered books, smiled, and did not return the books to her, but put them with the books in his hands, "It just so happens that I am going to the library too, can we go together?" ”

[Then please.] ]

Although Opal didn't know much about Cedric himself, she had always trusted her instincts, and her instincts told her that Cedric was a good man. So she didn't object to walking with him, after all, the pile of books in her hand was still quite heavy, although they were not many, [by the way, what is your name?] ]

"Cedric Diggory. You can just call me Cedric, though. ”

Cedric smiled, then flipped through the book in his hand, "I know you're Slytherin's second-year chief Opal Snape, so I don't need to introduce you any more." ”

Opal couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: [You know me? ]

"Well, the Slytherin Head of Year and Year Prefect system has long been rumored among the upper echelons of other houses."

Shaking the book in his hand, Cedric smiled, "Your name is on the last borrowed bookmark on this book, can I say that it has been famous for a long time?" ”

[……]

Opal gave him a speechless look, and finally just shrugged his shoulders, [Honestly, that seems weird. And I don't think Hufflepuff's students will pay attention to Slytherin students, your excuse is terrible. ]

"Okay......"

His eyebrows jumped slightly, and Cedric smiled very subtlely, "I just heard Fred and George mention you." Honestly, I think you're a weird Slytherin who can make friends with Gryffindor, don't you? ”

[Did someone say you're not actually a good fit for Hufflepuff?] ]

Hearing Cedric's meaning, Opal sighed, [And I don't think there's anything peculiar about me, it's just that I'm more in tune with Fred's personality.] Isn't it disappointing to see a real person? ]

"I can't say that!"

Pushing open the door to the library, Cedric gentlemanly let Opal go in, "Personally, real people are much more interesting than hearsay. ”

[Can I say I'm honored for that?] ]

God knows how George and Fred mentioned themselves in front of others, Opal could only put a black line on his head, but there was no ambiguity about the procedures for returning and borrowing books, and then when she walked into the shelves to find a few new books, she was stunned by what she saw. How to ......]

"It's better to say less if you don't want to say anything."

After following Opal and completing the formalities of returning the book at the counter, Cedric followed, but after noticing Opal's stunned look, he immediately followed her line of sight and was also stunned, "Huh? This is...... Gryffindor's ...... Student?! ”

[Hermione Granger.] ]

Looking at Hermione, who was standing in the corner of the inner bookcase, with a dull look and a completely petrified appearance, Opal's expression was extremely calm at the moment, [It seems that there are new victims in the "secret room" again. Cedric, can you call Mrs. Pince? I think we need to inform the professors first of all. ]

A copy of the Dangerous Creature Guide was page down, along with a small, round mirror, and fell at Hermione's feet.
