A day at Hogwarts

"Cedric, I'm coming in!"

After Charles left Eleanor's room, he went to deliver food to others.

They are only in a bad mood and can't eat anything, but hunger is an objective existence. If they don't prepare food for them now, if they get hungry later, the fat goose with red hair and sharp beak downstairs will be in danger.

The bedroom was dark, and Cedric sat on the chair by the window like a wooden man, staring at the opaque curtains.

Seeing him like this, Charles smiled inwardly. After all, he was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid. He had a little problem in the international competition, and he felt that he had harmed Hogwarts.

The lights in the room came on, and Charles put the food on the table, turned to Cedric and said, "I put the food here, eat it yourself if you're hungry."

Cedric just turned his head and said "thank you".

Charles said to him solemnly: "Don't be sad, it's not your fault that you lost today."

Cedric shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for my slow movement, we could have scored two more points."

Just now Eleanor replayed today's game. Everyone was a little bit flustered before the game started, and it was the same during the game.

Cedric's job is to process medicinal materials. At the beginning, his hands and feet were a little slow, but the others didn't care. Unexpectedly, he became the slowest one with a gap of half a minute, and the time was allocated the least.

Charles didn't dwell on his mistake, but said, "Today's defeat is Snape's fault, not yours."

Cedric didn't react for a while.

Charles continued: "It doesn't matter if you fail once. You are only in the third grade. You will go to Codos Torrez in the fifth grade and the Magic Institute in the seventh grade. You still have a chance to win back."

"If you are hungry, eat something first. If you are not hungry, eat later. Don't be hungry in the middle of the night and eat rubies."

"I went to someone else's place."

He didn't give Cedric a chance to ask why it was Snape's fault after he finished speaking, and turned and slipped away.

Charles next went to Spencer's room next door and saw him pacing up and down, very fidgety.

Seeing Charles put the food on the table, Spencer sighed and blamed himself: "Today's smoked fish is the best smoked fish I've ever eaten. You must have spent a lot of effort."

"You've been busy cooking us delicious food all day, but today we're... well... all my fault, if I'd been more careful in the first place this wouldn't have happened, now I'm too embarrassed to eat .”

Charles said to him: "Food is made to be eaten, and no matter what the reason, it is wrong to waste it."

"Besides, today's match wasn't your fault, it was Snape's fault."

Spencer is from Slytherin College, and when he heard that he blamed his own dean, his expression was not very good.

Charles continued to take it for granted: "Think about it carefully, does what I said make sense."

Spencer will be graduating this summer. He is a few years older than Cedric and has matured a lot. After thinking about it, I think what Charles said is a little...some...reasonable.

He thought he had figured it out, and said to Charles, "Thank you."

Charles smiled and said, "You're welcome, I was worried that you would eat the ruby ​​if you were hungry at night."

After saying goodbye to Spencer, he came to Olivia's room without stopping.

As the captain, Olivia was under a lot of mental pressure at this time. She sat in front of the table, put her glasses aside, and scratched her head with her hands on the table.

Charles put the food next to her, and said softly: "Captain, eat something, I just saw that you ate very little."

Olivia whispered, "I have a headache, I can't eat."

Charles asked her, "Shall I massage your head?"

Olivia was silent for a while, and replied: "Well, I heard from Eleanor that you are also very good at massage."

Charles just smiled, stood behind her, straightened her shoulders, ran his fingers through the short, smooth tawny hair, and began massaging the area around her temples.

While massaging, Charles still said the same way: "I heard what happened today, it's not your fault, it's all Snape's problem."

Olivia shook her head and said, "I know what you mean, but I'm the captain, so I'm still responsible."

She then patted Charles' hand and said, "Okay, go and see Joyce. I went to see her just now, and she has been crying."

Charles happened to press her neck, and said, "Your neck is very stiff, let me press it first."

"Another day." Olivia said, "Joyce is a bit introverted and keeps everything in her heart. You went out with her last night, maybe you can talk to her more."

Charles had to listen to her.

Joyce's room was dark. Charles knocked on the door, but the door was unlocked, and it was pushed open.

"Can I come in?" Charles asked.

No one answered in the room, only crying could be heard.

Charles went in, lit the lamp, closed the door, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Joyce sat on the bed with her hands on her knees, her face in her lap, sobbing.

In today's competition, the potion preparation was led by Joyce, and as a result, she took Hogwarts' score to the last place in one fell swoop.

Charles took out a plate with a golden fried Scotch egg on it, and said in a low voice, "I've prepared the Scotch egg you wanted yesterday."

Joyce looked up, her eyes were red and even puffy.

Charles subconsciously picked up the fork and cut open the egg on the plate, cut off a small piece and handed it to her mouth.

Joyce froze for a moment, but opened her mouth anyway.

While feeding her, Charles said softly to her, "Today's competition was not your fault. The potion you improved yourself is very good and powerful, and there is no problem at all."

"The problem lies with Snape. As a potion professor, he failed to collect the potion results released by various magic schools in the first place, so that no one knows your improved route and the card you got stuck three months ago. Professor Arrigo of Strobusher published almost the same result."

Joyce was also miserable this time. Her potion was improved from an old formula with good effects. After the improvement, the effect of the potion was almost perfect, and the healing effect got full marks.

The problem is, because of the poor flow of information, I didn't expect that she and others were doing the same thing, and the final results were only some differences in dosage, and others published their results first.

At this time, some people naturally thought that Joyce had plagiarized Professor Aligo's achievements, and she almost didn't get 40 innovation points.

Fortunately, Professor Arrigo was also in the Castrobuscher delegation watching the game. He was a man of integrity. After asking Joyce some key issues in the research process, he believed that there was no plagiarism, but that he had researched it himself.

But even so, the Hogwarts team only scored 27 points for innovation, and they were at the bottom all of a sudden.

Joyce was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and this incident nearly broke her.

Now that Dumbledore was here, Snape wasn't here, so Charles put the blame on him. Moreover, this is not a random claim, and it is also the responsibility of professors to collect cutting-edge achievements in subject development.

Joyce looked better, at least the tears stopped flowing.

Charles gave her some drinks and said to her: "Rest well tonight, perform well tomorrow, and the score will catch up."

After he finished speaking, he got up to leave, but his clothes got caught.

"That..." Joyce lowered her head and blushed, "Can you sing a lullaby? When I was young, my mother would sing a lullaby to lull me to sleep after feeding me."

Charles blinked.

Outside the door, Dumbledore left contentedly, and shooed away the other guys who had their ears on the door by the way.

The fourth game on the second day was titled Healing Invisibility. The disease is caused by the bite of a bug, and patients generally don't feel sick, but some people will suddenly change back and cause social death.

In this game, Waggadu scored full marks and continued to lead with a total score of 385 points.

Kodos Torrez scored 97 points and ranked second with a total of 379 points.

Hogwarts only scored 99 points for being a little slower, and the same total score of 374 points as the Magic House which scored 98 points.
