One evening, the sun was about to set, and only a blood-red remnant of the sun was left dying in the middle of the dark mountains in the distance. Even though the starry candles were lit on the long table in the library, the light was not bright enough to read every word on the book. So everyone yawned, picked up their school bags and walked out the door, discussing loudly the complicated stargazing pie they had eaten at dinner. Mrs. Pince, with a feather duster in her hand, walked down the aisle between the bookshelves with an unkind face, looking for any stains or paper balls that each student might have left behind.

Brandy, as usual, sat in the obscene corner behind two rows of bookshelves, and next to him was already stacked with books of all kinds, stacked as high as a hill. Parvati sat next to him as usual, staring laboriously at the ancient book that Brandy seemed to be blank by candlelight, sighing sadly from time to time, and then silently opened the "Magical Terms Passed Down for a Thousand Years", and began to look for the strange words and sentences in the ancient book.

"Hmm...... In the end, I didn't get anything today! Brandi rubbed her dry eyes and sighed in frustration. The light was already a little too dim, and it was a burden on the eyes to look at it any longer. He carefully folded the list of books Hermione had given him, put them away, and put them in his pocket.

"Parvati! It's time to go~"

Parvati looked up and stared at him with wide, confused eyes, and it took him a long time to recover from that mechanical state of reading. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at the sunset outside the window in surprise, as if she didn't realize that time passed so quickly. And then—

"Ahh I'm annoyed... It's really annoying to study! Why did the ancient people have to make it different from our language! Parvati yelled as loudly as ever, burying her little face on the long table and rolling around in lovelessness. Damn, there's not enough time to go on like this...... In ten days, it will be taken back! ”

Take it back? Brandi reacted for a moment, and then remembered that it was probably the book.

Looking over Parvati's little head, Brandi could see a thick stack of parchment written on her right hand, written in a delicate font, presumably notes and bullet points she had jotted down to understand the contents of the book. This made him wonder what was the magic of this book that fascinated Parvati, who had always thought that books were the worst invention of mankind.

"Why are you so obsessed with finishing that book?" With this intense curiosity, he inquired about Parvati.

"Whoa......" Parvati smacked his lips, his face full of resentment. What will be the Christmas holidays...... I told Padma that I didn't really want to go back, that I thought Christmas at school should be fun, but she insisted that I go back with her, and told me to take the book back and show it to the old souls... Let them... Not! ”

"Let them what?" Brandi asked curiously.

She suddenly realized that she seemed to be saying something, and her hand covered her mouth. "Nothing, nothing ......"

She ignored Brandi's quizzing look and continued. "I told my sister that there was no need for this, and I didn't have that talent anyway, so there was no need to waste time on such esoteric things, and she got angry all of a sudden, guess what she said?"

At the mention of this, Parvati suddenly jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and put on an angry look. "That iceberg-faced sister with an iron face one day actually laughed at me! Saying that letting a fool who can't read ancient words take away the wealth of Ravenclaw is the greatest mockery of wisdom, and that she needs to go back and ask her mother to see if she remembered the wrong order when she gave birth to us! What is this? ”

She slammed the table with a loud bang. "It's questioning my status as an older sister! This is simply unforgivable! ”

Poor Brandi was stunned by Parvati's fierce momentum. The status of the sister? Have you ever had such a thing?

"So you made a bet with her? Say you can read this book in less than a month? Didn't you think about what to do if you lost? ”

"Hey! Then don't... Leave it alone! In a word! I have to get a good grasp of what is in the book...... At least for now, you need to be able to write down the contents of the book. Seeing his questioning gaze, Parvati was stunned and decisively defeated. Otherwise, I will definitely be teased harshly, besides...... If you win. ”

She suddenly glanced at Brandi with a strange look, I don't know if it was the afterglow of the sunset, Brandi always felt that she was blushing.

"Won't she help me......" she muttered softly to herself.

"Then why don't you ask me and Hermione for help with this kind of thing? I can at least help you look it up or something...... Not to mention Hermione's words, maybe she'll be able to memorize them after reading them! ”

"No, no, no! This alone is absolutely not going to work! Parvati hurriedly stretched out his hands and waved desperately, "Only this time I must come by myself." She lowered her head and whispered, "I must rely on my own efforts to make her approve of me...... ...... by all means."

Ten minutes later, the two were reluctantly kicked out of the library, and Parvati was carrying her schoolbag dejectedly, and sure enough, there was still no special progress today. Brandi had to be comforted by the side, trying to make her happy.

But when they reached the door of the portrait of the fat woman, Parvati left her little troubles behind, for they were surprised to find that the portrait of the fat woman was opening outward, and a familiar figure was trying to burrow into the narrow hole. It was difficult because he couldn't seem to keep his legs apart.

"Neville? What are you doing? The two of them stepped forward curiously. Is this the new way to build muscle? ”

Neville turned around, and they were surprised to see that he was shaking, gasping for air, and two tear streaks on his pale cheeks.

"Who cast the leg-locking spell on you! You can't have jumped all the way up from downstairs! Neville nodded feebly. Sky! Parvati gasped.

Brandi stepped forward with a solemn face and unleashed the spell. His wand lightly touched Neville's legs, and his clinging legs immediately parted.

"What's going on?" He asked.

“…… Malfoy," Neville slumped in the doorway, breathing heavily. "He saw me and said he wanted to find someone to practice the spell on."

"This bastard!"

"Bang!" Brandi punches the door frame in annoyance, drawing a grumbling from the fat woman.

"Don't knock so hard! Are you going to get in? ”

"I'm sorry, ma'am......" Brandi took a deep breath, "just wait a little longer, just a moment." ”

He and Parvati struggled to pull their legs together and pat him the shoulders to cheer him up.

"You have to muster courage, Neville! Malfoy is a bully who is afraid of the hard, if you don't resist for a day, he will bully you at will for a day. ”

"But I don't want to get into trouble anymore." He muttered vaguely.

"The Sorting Hat has assigned you to Gryffindor! Here are the best lion cubs! You're no exception! Parvati rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a handful of snacks and stuffed them into Neville's pocket. See Malfoy again, and give me a good beating! That domineering little white face and that golden retriever poodle! Hum! ”

Seeing that Neville hadn't spoken, Brandi tried to look him straight in the eye.

"Gryffindor's solution to trouble is simple, but it's also effective – just fight violence with violence. Neville, there's no way to reason with the bad guys. And ......," he squeezed his eyes at Parvati, "aren't we right next to you!" ”

Neville's eyes were red again, and he couldn't tell if he was moved or frightened, his lips twitched, and his hands on Brandi and Parvati clenched tightly, and his joints turned white.

"Thank you, Brandi, Parvati...... I understand. He stood up straight with a shudder, and without relying on the strength of the two of them, he pulled a card out of his trouser pocket and gave it to Parvati. Do you want a card, thank you for the snacks, this is a return gift. ”

As he said this, his face still weak, but he walked in with his head held high. Under the strange gaze of everyone, he trembled and climbed the stairs of the dormitory.

Brandi and Parvati looked at each other, and then they followed, walking straight to the corner where the five of them had been staying. Hermione was playing wizarding chess with Harry, and Ron was watching them with caring eyes, this seemed to be one of the very few projects that Harry could defeat Hermione, but for some reason, he was obviously out of shape today, and when they got closer, Hermione's queen pounced on her like a thug, and slapped Harry's knight out of the chessboard. The ferocious gesture made everyone shiver.

"Hey! You two are back! Seeing Brandi and them, Ron greeted with a wicked smile, "Guess what?" Harry has lost three in a row! I never knew he was so stupid! ”

"Oh, shut up Ron, if you get this bad news, you'll be as upset as I am." Harry limbly said to Brandi and Parvati that now that everyone was there, he had decided to make the breaking news. They made room for Brandi and Parvati, and the five of them made a group.

"Can you believe it? The next Quidditch match is Snape as a referee! Wood said it himself! ”

"Clams?" Several people screamed in unison.

Parvati's hand shook, and the wizard card Neville had given her fell to the floor with a snap. But she didn't realize it.

"I've never heard of a Dean serving as a referee in a Quidditch match! What is he doing here? ”

Ron gave him a disdainful look, "What else can I do, isn't this a clear attempt to murder Harry?" It's good now, the murderer has begun to ride a broom to the sky to find the victim to make small movements, and the murderer rides his face? Can this game still be played? ”

"No......" Hermione finally spoke at this time, "He had already failed last time, how could he dare to do it on the same occasion this time?" Snape was bad, but certainly not stupid! ”

"So what does he want? Is Heaven just for Bludger to punch him in the face? ”

"I'm not sure about that, God knows if there will be any other surprises, so Harry." Hermione stared into Harry's eyes, her tone full of seriousness. "You need to be well prepared!"

After formulating a series of battle plans, everyone was a little tired, especially Parvati, who was overdrawn, and saw that she kept yawning, as if she just wanted to get a good night's sleep. As a result, the combat meeting could only be hastily concluded......

"Then I'll go back and rest~ Have a good dream~ Everyone." Parvati waved his hand, turned around and wanted to go upstairs. A sharp-eyed Harry suddenly noticed that she seemed to have forgotten the wizard card that had fallen on the ground in the first place, so he quickly picked it up and called Parvati.

"Hey! You forgot something! Dumbledore's wizarding ...... Yikes! ”

He stared at the back of the card and suddenly screamed. Everyone looked at him for some reason.

His eyes were fixed on the card, and he said blankly.

"I'm looking for him! I've found Nick Lemay! ”
