Chapter 48: Riddles and Answers
On the way to the restaurant, Qiu Zhang always felt that the atmosphere today was particularly strange.
Why does everyone around me look so stiff, is it because there is a dueling match today?
"Now, Britney." She couldn't help but turn around and call out with some curiosity.
A few feet away, someone called by Qiu Zhang reflexively shook as if he had been electrocuted, and hit Oriana headfirst, only to have a shameful cramp in his right calf due to the unaccustomed movements of his muscles.
"-Woo-woo!" Brandi snorted and jumped around in place, but he didn't want to help Qiu Zhang, who was full of worry, and whenever she kindly leaned forward, Brandi would always jump backwards like a frightened rabbit, and her cheeks were hot like a cooked lobster.
What is this? Did I her off yesterday?
Qiu Zhang looked confused, she was a little surprised to find that she couldn't remember what she did last night, but she remembered that she felt a little tired after taking the rune alchemy, probably because she didn't even eat dinner and went to bed hastily, but she accidentally slept until dawn.
When she woke up, she was still shy for a while, because the other three people had already cleaned up and gathered in a circle early, and were watching her lie in bed with strange eyes......
- What, after thinking about it for a long time, it seems that I don't have time to provoke this delicate girl.
She rolled her eyes, puffed out her cheeks slightly, and looked at Oriana and Katie with questioning eyes.
As a result, Senior Sister Ou Liana's face, which had just been serious, suddenly tensed, and began to hold her chest and pant heavily, with a forced smile on her face, even the stupid person could see it. The latter's lips squirmed for a moment, as if he had something to tell him, but he didn't say anything, just hung his head shyly, and stared at himself and Britney for a while.
What the hell is going on? One or two, they all kept me in the dark.
Hum! Two sneaky guys, they must not have any good intentions!
"Come with me, Britney!" So Qiu Zhang pounced violently, grabbed Britney's hand that wanted to dodge, and dragged Britney, who was still bouncing in place, to move forward. "Ignore those two bad guys! Hurry up and finish your breakfast and come with me to talk to Professor Roman! It's fun to talk to her~"
"Autumn, you slow down...... No, my legs, I'm still cramping! ”
Britney's screams grew quieter. The two people who stayed in place, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that each has a big belly to say.
Finally, Katie, who had her worldview turned upside down early this morning, struggled inwardly for a moment and bit her lip hard.
"Sister Oriana, I—I have a question for you." She stammered, "You probably didn't see it when you arrived at Britney's dorm too late, Boo, Britney, she was- no... I mean, how can girls do such and such things between girls... It's really, woo......"
Katie, who has always been straight and bold, is now stammering, as if she is about to cry out in shame.
"I know~"
A soft and gentle wind blew in her ears, gradually calming Katie's turbulent heart. She raised her head in surprise, and the beautiful and moving senior sister in front of her exuded the brilliance of tolerance and understanding.
"Relax, I understand what you're trying to say." Senior Sister Oriana gently grabbed Katie's body and hugged her in her arms, "Only when there is unknown pain and sadness in the depths of my heart will I gradually form a distorted cognition, poor Britney must have suffered a lot of grievances because of her image~ But because of this, as her good friend, I have to try to understand and guide her!" Try to fit into her world and help her regain her affection for the opposite sex, and I'm sure you can do that. ”
The scent of Oriana's body penetrated into Katie's brain, and she nodded unconsciously, feeling that her reason was about to melt.
That's what adults think. What an intellectual and reliable senior sister~
A minute later, Katie leaned limply against Oriana's body, mosquito coils rolling in her eyes.
Scold.
With her chin resting on Katie's shoulder, Oriana's image of her bosom sister disappeared in the blink of an eye, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up with a sly smile.
Do you think that just by helping me deduce the killer's characteristics, I can forget that you saw my underwear?
That's really unfortunate, big sister, I've always been eager to report~
So, it shouldn't matter if I'm a little more wayward at the end.
She tilted her head to look in the direction Brandi had left. In the palm of the hand, the white corner of the loose-leaf card was revealed.
"If that's what you say...... I can't even get you involved in this, little brother Barton. It's not something that a second-grade boy can easily beat. Take a good rest, and leave the rest to my big sister. ”
————————
Senpai, this traitor... I actually recited the illusion spell at that critical time!
When he was pulled by Qiu Zhang to eat in the restaurant, Brandi, who had no love, was full of grievances. At the moment when Katie recited the lock opening spell, Senior Sister Orianna actually put the quilt on Qiu Zhang's body casually, and as soon as the rune was unraveled, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. In less than a second, he was the only one left in the room, clutching the dress that Qiu Zhang had just taken off—the hem hadn't even fallen off his ankles.
It's a pervert, it's a pervert who likes to play dress-up games while the girl is asleep, right?
Merlin, Brandi just wanted to hang himself on the southeast branch at that moment!
What's more, this guy also specially pretended to sneak out of the dormitory along the wall while Katie was screaming to catch the pervert, and actually pretended to eat melons and the crowd triumphantly killed back!
As soon as she remembered the arrogant appearance of Sister Oriana, who was pacing around beside her with her mouth open, Brandi shivered with anger. Fortunately, Katie struggled for a long time and finally didn't choose to tell Qiu Zhang after waking up, otherwise she probably had to die suddenly - even if Qiu Zhang didn't die, after returning to Hogwarts, Hermione would not let her go.
This is clearly a trap! It's a trap! The senior sister had already thought about fixing herself from the moment Katie knocked on the door, because she was accidentally 'forced' to discover her personal preferences that did not match her age.
Shh What a big deal, who is not like a baby!
Brandi angrily picked up a hot dog, stuffed it into his mouth, shook off his cheeks and munched on it desperately.
The unrestrained eating style focused all the eyes around her, and Qiu Zhang on the side moved the stool awkwardly, not wanting to sit with her......
After eating breakfast as quickly as possible, Brandi walked with Qiu Zhang towards Professor Roman's temporary office. Since Madame Maxim had been secretive until the end of the day, the news of the Wizard Duel Friendly Match between the two schools had been announced, and the abrupt closure of classes on Saturday and Sunday had disrupted many people's schedules, so there were many more students wandering around the castle than before. Everywhere I went, almost everyone was talking about the afternoon duel match.
"Wouldn't such a hasty game be too unfair to Hogwarts...... I mean, those pretty Hogwarts girls haven't even pronounced spells in so long with us! If you make a fool of yourself on the field at that time, you always feel a little unbearable. ”
“… You don't want our school to win, since it's our home field, it's natural to have a little home advantage. Besides, everyone knows that the exchange activities between the two schools have always been a means to show the strength of the school, and I dare say that the Hogwarts girls who came here this time must have hidden dragons and crouching tigers. ”
…………
"In that case, Professor Dumbledore was really prescient." Walking past the two talkative boys, Qiu Zhang patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood today. "Fortunately, the school has been prepared early, and put the graduating Sister Orianna and Wendy in the list, if it weren't for the two of them, we would have suffered a big loss this time - I heard that Miss Delacul, one of the Beauxbatons contestants, is Madame Maxim's favorite student, and I dare say that in order to make her beautiful and overly talented disciple famous, Madame Maxim must have given her a lot of help in private!"
Brandi is still immersed in today's shame and can't extricate himself, where dare to look directly into Qiu Zhang's eyes. He stumbled over and said. "Delacour, she seems to have said that her sister will come over to cheer her on during the game."
"Huh?" Hearing Brandi's words, Qiu Zhang's eyes smiled into two crescents, and she leaned close to Brandi, so close that his cheeks were feverish. "You also went to talk to her~"
"Huh? Also? Feeling the heat coming from him, he hurriedly took two steps back, keeping a safe distance from Qiu Zhang that would keep his blood pressure stable. You mean, you went out of your way to talk to her, too? ”
"Of course, after all, it's such a big beauty!" Qiu Zhang said with some wistfulness, "The temperament is elegant, gentle and easy-going, and the hoarse voice is so good." It's the object of all the boys in Beauxbatons - if only I had one-tenth of her charm~"
Elegant? Gentle and easy-going? Ha! Forget it...... Haven't you seen how terrible it is for her to gossip, running out to see someone's 'tryst' without sleeping at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and almost throwing her own life in the castle.
Brandi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he thought of the guy who drooled so excited at the mention of his sister and saw that his 'love letter' eyes could burn out and breathe fire out.
"I don't think you really need to dream of such a guy in the autumn." So Brandi, who was outspoken, couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Huh?" Qiu Zhang tilted her head cutely and looked at her puzzled.
"You're actually... It's good enough. You're gentle and considerate, and you're cute—anyway, as far as I know, there's a dumb guy around me who thinks you're attractive! Brandi blushed, stammered a big explanation, and shamelessly betrayed his friends from far away at Hogwarts. So, you still have to be confident in yourself! Didn't you say that you already have someone you like, I think you can make it. ”
…………
"Flutter-" Qiu Zhang looked at Brandi for a while, then suddenly covered his mouth and laughed deliciously. "Britney, you're really good at coaxing girls, and I'm so moved to hear it. If you are a boy, then I don't have to worry about anything, just snatch you over as a boyfriend~"
She playfully stuck out her tongue and turned her back with a playful smile, her black hair swaying gently in her shawl, bringing up a string of silver bell-like crisp laughter.
Brandi stood stunned, who had won the girl's heart? He had to admit now that Harry's vision was really on point, and in that moment, even he was starting to be a little jealous of that enviable guy.

Professor Roman's office was very small, but it was not incomprehensible considering that it was a makeshift room arranged by Beauxbatons. Due to the fact that the exchange is over the day after tomorrow and will return to the Ministry of Magic, most of the miscellaneous items here have already been packed. The only thing left outside was a stack of books to the east and a stack to the west, but unlike Hermione or Sister Oriona's highly specialized reference books or reference books, the title of each book here would arouse Brandi's curiosity—almost all of them were unconfirmed wild histories or oral legends.
Brandi even saw a few copies of "Singing Against the Tune" in the book mountain......
When he and Akihari stepped into the office, Professor Roman was lazily holding a large book, leaning back in his chair in an indecent manner, and a cup of fragrant coffee was brewing on the table.
"Oh? Autumn you actually brought a friend here, this is really rare. Wow, I have an impression! Think about it, your name is ...... Spears? She tugged at the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked up at Brandy. It's a little smaller, so find a place to sit down - what do you want to drink? Black tea, or coffee? Oops, such a leisurely vacation is coming to an end, it's really sad to think about it~"
"Will you be busy when you go back, what does that ancient magic research team usually do?" Qiu Zhang asked curiously with black tea in his hand.
"Ah, this—" Professor Roman scratched his cheek a little embarrassed, "that's what it would be like in the office, study the excavated artifacts, look for relevant documents or something." In fact, these are basically done by others: I am stupid with my hands and feet, so I am in charge of intelligence collection and analysis. ”
"But don't think it's a simple job, there's a lot of knowledge you need. If an ancient ruin is found in a place, it is necessary to be able to immediately deduce the age of the ruins based on the magical civilizations that have appeared in the history of the area, and also quickly deduce the nature of the magic mechanisms that may exist in them and how to solve them, and if the ruins are located in inaccessible jungles or wilderness, the threat of possible magical animals must also be considered. Otherwise, there is no way to explore the ruins before the other exploration teams do. ”
As she spoke, she pointed to herself with some smugness. "So, Roman, I'm an all-knowing and all-powerful scholar!"
Qiu Zhang is right, Professor Roman really knows a lot, and he is also very good at chatting with others. She told the two of them about the fight with the cannibal tribe while searching for the ruins of a Mayan wizard in the jungles of South America, and the ancient magic mechanism found in the permafrost of Greenland, which she said, when it was activated, the ground under their feet collapsed into a large crater, and the members of the team thought they were going to give an explanation.
"It didn't work out, and the pit was quickly filled with hot water, allowing everyone to take a comfortable bath - the mechanism was actually a magical hot spring left by an ancient wizard."
Her story was so vivid and exciting that Brandi began to consider the possibility of graduating and traveling as an explorer.
Just as she was talking about the giant octopus on the sea that was taller than Beauxbatons Castle, Brandy suddenly thought of one thing—Professor Roman's knowledge of magical beasts would help him and Sister Oriana figure out the monster that was now waiting for an opportunity in the castle?
So he raised his hand. "Professor, I have a question."
"This isn't a classroom, little Spears." He smiled and blinked.
"I saw a riddle in a book asking me to guess the name of a magical creature, and I couldn't guess it—" He hurriedly described the wide, flat, mantle-like features of the thing. "You can climb walls and walk without sound...... Professor, what is this? ”
Professor Roman glanced at Brandi with some surprise and frowned.
"Hey, this puzzle is kind of interesting - if I hadn't gotten it from Mary some time ago, she had been in the ministry last time and would have been fighting on it." She said as she began to rummage through the papers on her desk. "However, I don't seem to remember the name too clearly, you can wait a minute."
"Professor Mary?" Brandi immediately became alarmed, "Speaking of which, what does Professor Mary do at the Ministry of Magic?" ”
"She's quite pitiful to say." Professor Roman sighed a little, "Because she was a foreign refugee, although she changed her name and surname and swore allegiance to the Ministry of Magic, she was not trusted by the bigwigs in the ministry, so she simply took her to the Department of Magical Beasts Protection to hang up an idle position - in fact, she is still quite capable of a guy, and a few days ago she wrote a disposal plan on how to achieve the management and control of extremely dangerous magical animals." I think it's quite feasible to look at it, but it's a bit ...... for magical beasts Not human enough? Well, here—"
Roman pulled out a thin booklet from the pile of papers.
"Thunderbird...... Kemera ...... I remember it was a rarity, only seen in the tropics - what's it called? Ha! Got it. That's it. ”
Roman said.
"That's it, Voldemort."
