The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

Cedric's appearance attracted the attention of both Ash and Qiu Zhang. Ash keenly noticed that Qiu Zhang's expression was a little flustered, and he immediately had an idea in his mind. With a disappointed look on his face, he took a step back, forced a smile and said:

"Senior, I won't bother you for now. But don't worry, I won't bother you again in the future."

Qiu Zhang became increasingly panicked and subconsciously wanted to stay, but Ash didn't give her a chance and pulled away directly, disappearing from her sight in the blink of an eye. At this time, the boy who had just greeted her also came to her.

Cedric came to Qiu Zhang with empty hands, but suddenly turned his palm over and transformed into a bouquet of lilies, and said softly:

"Qiu, this is my gift to you, do you like it?"

Facing Cedric's attentiveness, Qiu Zhang knew very well that this boy liked her. But she felt extremely uneasy now, and Cedric's appearance left only one thought in her mind - could Ash suddenly leave in anger because of this incident?

The girl suddenly raised her head and said angrily:

"Cedric, can you please not come to me again? It will be misunderstood."

After she finished speaking, she left the courtyard without looking back and ran in the direction of Ravenclaw Tower in a panic.

This was just a misunderstanding, she could explain it clearly.

The smile on Cedric's face gradually solidified, and the hand holding the flowers froze in mid-air.

On this day, a young man who was in love suddenly understood what heartbreak felt like.

But Qiu Zhang didn't care what he was thinking. She hurried back to the Ravenclaw common room, but failed to see Ash in the common room. And she also learned from other students in the common room that no other students had returned to the common room before her.

This made the girl feel even more uneasy, and she ran back to the middle tower courtyard in a panic.

She thought Ash would wait for her here and give Cedric a proper explanation after she rejected him.

But no, Ash wasn't here either.

Although the students returning from Hogsmeade passed by her one after another, Qiu Zhang suddenly felt lonely and miserable that she was alone in the world. This made the already extremely emotional girl almost collapse. .

"sorry……"

She squatted on the ground, holding her knees tightly with her hands, tears streaming from her eyes.

——

Harry arrived in the auditorium early, and his eyes immediately came into contact with the familiar figure on the side of the Ravenclaw table.

"Ash!"

Harley waved happily at Ash.

Ash looked in the direction of Harley. Cassandra was not there, and Hermione was not here either.

Harry sat happily on the side of the Slytherin table and the Ravenclaw table, right back to Ash.

Ash asked in confusion:

"Harry, where are Cassandra and Hermione?"

Harley explained: "They are in the bathroom and will be here soon."

Ash smiled and asked, "How was your day?"

"It's terrible!" Harley's happy smile immediately faded and she complained:

"I've been in the library all day, reading!"

Ash listened to the girl's complaints and did not comfort her, but said softly:

"But haven't Cassandra and Hermione been studying with you?"

Harley complained:

"That's because they like to study."

Ash asked rhetorically:

"Do you really think they like learning?"

"Why not?" Harley was a little confused.

Ash couldn't help but shook his head and asked:

"Harry, what is 1+1 equal to?"

Harley was a little confused, but still answered:

"2."

"What about 2+2?"

"4."

Harley whispered:

"I learned these in the first grade of elementary school. Ash, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Yes, these are questions from your elementary school."

Ash nodded noncommittally, and then asked:

"Then if you were asked to go back to elementary school and learn 1+1 equals 2 for a whole day with elementary school students, how would you feel in your heart?"

"..."

Harley imagined for a moment the scene of her 12-year-old self sitting in a primary school classroom, learning '1+1=2' with five or six-year-old pupils, and said with a grimace:

"That's too bad!"

"It's boring, right?"

Ash stroked the girl's silky hair and whispered:

"What you are learning today is Hogwarts' '1+1=2', and Cassandra and Hermione have already mastered this knowledge. They study with you today, and they will accompany you to study with primary school students'1 +1=2' is just as boring."

"I bet that even if Cassandra and Hermione like studying, they definitely don't like today's study, but they are still willing to stay with you in the library all day, resisting boredom and boring to teach you'1+ 1=2'."

"Harry, do you know why they did this?"

Harley already understood what Ash was going to say. The little girl pursed her lips and whispered:

"Actually, today is not that bad."

Ash asked seductively:

"So, Harley, what should you do now?"

He looked towards the entrance of the Great Hall, and Harry followed his gaze. Cassandra and Hermione were entering the Great Hall through the oak door.

"I-I know!"

Harley hesitated and trotted up to the two of them.

Cassandra saw Harley's hurried steps and asked with concern:

"Harry, what happened?"

Harry shook his head and summoned up the courage to say:

"Cassandra, Hermione, thank you for studying with me."

Hermione said with some surprise:

"Harry, that's not what you said during the day in the library."

"Hmm~" Harley blushed a little. She complained almost all the time during the day. It's not that he really has that much resentment, it's mainly to win the sympathy of Cassandra and Hermione, hoping to end his studies early.

Harley's eyes wandered and she said with a guilty conscience:

"This is what I just suddenly figured out."

"Huh?" Cassandra looked suspiciously:

"real?"

Harley said honestly:

"Well, Ash taught me that."

She honestly recounted Ash's step-by-step process.

Hermione blushed a little at the praise and explained:

"Actually, it's not that boring. I'm also learning new knowledge."

It was fine without an explanation, but once explained, Harley's mood became even more depressed. Because isn't this a disguised admission that what she learned today is really as simple as '1+1' in Hermione's eyes?

"all in all."

Harry's face turned red because of embarrassment and said, "I will continue to study with you tomorrow."

Cassandra immediately said:

"Not tomorrow."

"Why?" Harley was a little confused.

Cassandra raised her chin slightly:

"I have written to my father, and he promised me that he would ask Professor Snape to buy me a Nimbus 2000. And Professor Snape also promised me that if I perform well enough tomorrow, he can make an exception for me. Join Slytherin’s Quidditch team!”

"Harry, Hermione, you can come together tomorrow."
