Chapter 354: Cedric's Source of Happiness
The train spews out puffs of steam and travels along the road.
In the carriage, after Kyle arrives, Connor and Cho don't read magazines with Luna anymore, but ask each other about their vacation experiences.
As soon as he said this, Autumn was angry.
"Cedric, this liar!"
"He told me that Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was in the Pyrenees, and we went, but we couldn't find the place he said on the map.
All day, we went around in circles and didn't find anything! ”
"It's normal."
"I don't know anything else, but the locations of the three major European schools of magic are protected to prevent their teaching methods from being leaked, as well as to protect the students and the school itself from any harm." ”
"It's like Hogwarts, if a Beauxbatons student comes to visit, all you see is a bare cliff."
Cho and Connor were dumbfounded.
Although they knew that the school had protective magic, they had always believed that it was to prevent Muggles from discovering it...... It's like a Muggle banishment at the door of the Leaky Cauldron.
I didn't expect this protection to work for wizards as well.
"But why can Cedric ......," Cho wondered.
"Maybe he's met someone before." Kyle thought for a moment, "If a professor or someone from another school had mentioned Beauxbatons' location, then that protection would have been useless. ”
Or being taken by a student can also be unaffected, a bit like the Loyalty Mantra. ”
Cho thought about it, as if Cedric had said before that he had met an old wizard by chance in France and told him the location of Beauxbatons' School of Magic.
Probably because of this.
Autumn was a little frustrated, why didn't she meet it......
"Damaging the Loyalty Curse?"
At this time, Ginny lifted her head from the "Singing Contrarian" and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Daddy mentioned this spell before, but I can't remember it a little." ”
"A type of oath spell that is often used to hide important secrets."
"Will the school teach this spell?" Ginny's eyes lit up, and she looked very interested.
"No, it won't." Kyle shook his head, "The difficulty of this spell is far beyond the level of a normal student, and if you don't have enough strength and force it, you will even turn against yourself."
So, unless the professors think you can, they won't teach even if they ask. ”
"Well......" Ginny looked disappointed.
"Ginny, do you have any secrets?" Fred looked at her with a wicked grin.
George also leaned over, "Tell us, we promise not to spread the word." ”
"That's what you said before." Ginny glared at the two of them angrily, "If I had done this before the holidays, I wouldn't have to be complained about by Percy for two months!" ”
Fred and George knew they were wrong, and quickly retracted their necks.
As the Hogwarts Express travels north, the scenery outside the window becomes more and more desolate, and the sky darkens as the clouds thicken high in the sky.
People chased past the doors of their boxes.
"No fireworks in the aisles, which academy are you from!"
Percy's voice came from outside the door.
But instead of responding, the men made louder noises and ran away laughing.
Percy also chased after him, shouting loudly as he ran, "Stop, I'm the president of the student council!" ”
At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and Cedric slipped in like a thief.
"Oh...... The prefect is back. Fred smiled and asked, "Do you have any instructions to convey?" ”
"I'm here to report the news." Cedric slammed the door behind him.
"You two run." He looked at Fred and George, and said with a heavy face, "Percy already knows that you have done something to his badge, and judging by the way he looks, he must be trying to kill you, and then hang up outside the train to show the public!"
If it weren't for the fact that we happened to encounter someone playing in the aisle and struggling to pull out fireworks, he might have come in at this time. ”
Fred and George looked at each other and smiled.
"Why run, let him come." Fred said, seemingly not worried at all.
"Do you think we're going to be afraid of Percy's big head?" George smiled, "Let me tell you, I'm not afraid at all." ”
As they spoke, they took out the candy and distributed it to the others, and they didn't see anything unusual at all.
The noise outside the door was getting quieter.
They heard Percy's voice again, "It's so arrogant, Slytherin, that you don't even pay attention to the student council president." I'll be sure to tell Professor Snape about it......"
Although the sound was small, it could be heard, indicating that he was already nearby.
Fred slapped his thigh, "I almost forgot, Lee Jordan went to find him after we got on the train." ”
"I remembered, too." George nodded, "He also said that there is something important to discuss with us. ”
"It just so happens that there is nothing to do right now, so let's go quickly."
"Okay."
They got up at the same time, walked to the door of the box with a composure and looked outside.
"Fred, George!" Percy's roar could be heard not far away.
The two of them opened the door and rushed out.
Because of the movement, George hit his head on the door frame, grinning in pain, but he still covered his head and followed Fred closely.
There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the box.
Cedric walked over to their place and sat down, shaking his head and saying, "I thought they weren't afraid." ”
Ginny giggled, "A few weeks ago I thought they had locked Percy in a pyramid, and when Percy found out, he beat them up.
If you look closely, you'll see that George occasionally rubs the left half of his buttocks.
Because Percy thought he was the mastermind, he beat him up again...... But that's exactly what happened. ”
The laughter in the box was louder.
Cedric, in particular, laughed the loudest, and was happier to see the Weasley brothers unlucky than he was to pick up the money himself.
At one o'clock, the fat witch pushing the food cart came to the door of their box.
Kyle hadn't eaten much in the morning, and was already hungry by now, so he bought a large stack of crucible-shaped cakes.
He bought the largest portions, enough for the six of them.
Although the taste of this cake is average, it is still much better than chocolate and candy.
After eating the cake, the people chatted for a while, and by three or four o'clock, it began to rain, and the undulating mountains outside the window became blurred.
As a prefect, Cedric was supposed to help keep order in the carriage, but Percy was so conscientious that his voice could always be heard outside, and most of the young wizards would be reprimanded by him as soon as they came out.
It didn't make a difference if he went.
Cedric was also a bit lazy, playing Crackle Explosion with Kyle in the comfort of his box.
