Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

Firstly, it is because Slytherin finally won the House Cup again - despite the fact that the school newspaper under the chairmanship of Moon has continued to guide correctly in the past six months, allowing everyone to see the excellence of Slytherin and those who deserve everyone's attention. People and actions to be praised, such as Gemma, who is a real benchmark.But this does not mean that the festivals and stares between the four colleges in the past many years will disappear directly. That will take time.

Secondly, it was because, after the final extra points, Hufflepuff was only one step away from winning the Academy Cup.

Fifteen points, maybe two or three stupid operations in class on weekdays, make these few fifteen points a huge barrier.

But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more.

Hufflepuff's little badgers do a very good job of self-regulation.

They took pumpkin juice and ran over to take pictures with Moon, making noises and joking, not just the first grade students, but also the senior students.Of course, it wasn’t just Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and even Slytherin. People came over to invite Munn to their homes during the summer vacation, or wanted to ask about Munn’s travel plans. .This made Moon become a busy person in the auditorium, constantly agreeing and rejecting invitations, and explaining the reasons over and over again.

This is also thanks to the Gryffindor group of little lions, mainly the Weasley twins and Charlie. Moon did save Fred and George that time, not to mention that they were still distant relatives.If they hadn't taken the lead to come over and chat with Moon and get the tacit approval of the professors, I'm afraid Nash and Gemma would never have followed and become the leaders of their own college.After all, at the end-of-term dinner at Hogwarts, such a scene of cross-house interaction is not common.

The teachers' table was also very lively. The professors didn't drink pumpkin juice. Of course, they didn't drink too much wine.But this did not affect Professor Sprout's face to become rosy, and he also dragged Professor Flitwick there to chat about random things.Professor Dumbledore has been sitting there happily, clinking glasses with other professors from time to time, and whispering with Professor McGonagall and Professor Sinistra.

Violet sat opposite Munn, secretly watching Munn chatting with other classmates like a little fan girl, until Munn finally got some free time, she quickly greeted in a low voice: "Moon? Muen? kindness?"

Moon looked at her with some confusion. Violet didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned red. She lowered her head slightly, and kept playing with the hair on the side of her face with one hand, "Well... you Will there be time in early August?”

"what?"

Moon's face was full of confusion. Of course, he was not deliberately trying to embarrass Violet and wanted her to repeat it again - the surroundings were too noisy and he really didn't hear what Violet said clearly.

The roommate next to Violet laughed and pulled Violet's sleeve and said to her, "Please speak louder, Munn can't hear you!"

Only then did the little girl react and hurriedly raised her head. She was relieved to find that Munn was still looking at her patiently, so she quickly repeated, "Moon, will you be available in early August? I just heard you say Your home is in the outskirts of Peterborough. My mother is taking me to my grandma's house in August, which is also in the outskirts of Peterborough. If, if you have time then, I think, um... I think... "

"Of course." Seeing that Violet obviously couldn't finish her sentence completely, she even almost buried her head under the table in shyness (although Munn didn't quite understand what Violet was being shy about) What the hell), so Moon quickly answered clearly: "No problem, you can use the owl to come to me then, and I will write you a clear address before getting in the car tomorrow."

Violet's slender white palms were clenched into fists under the table and shook. She was obviously very happy, but she didn't show it on her face - she couldn't show it, she was still burying her head, so She just nodded, so small that if Munn hadn't been paying attention to her, he probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.

In this way, the noise in the auditorium continued for a long time. It was not until the night gradually deepened that everyone finally returned to the common room of their own college and continued to play.Playing wizard chess, playing Gobstone, chatting by the fire... Senior students even secretly took out bottles of low-alcohol fruit wine they got from nowhere to share.

Because it is close to the kitchen, the little wizards of Hufflepuff are uniquely endowed in this aspect (small party in the common room). They went to get piles of pumpkin juice, pastries, sausages, jelly and ice cream, plus Their own snacks.In the end, the fuss lasted until nearly midnight before finally ending.

…………

"Moon, are you asleep?" Cedric suddenly asked in a low voice in the quiet bedroom.

"Not yet." Moon opened a corner of the curtain, and the soft light emitted by the hollow metal ball spread along the gap.Sure enough, Cedric, who was sleeping in the bed next to Moon, had also drawn the curtains and was sitting on the bed leaning against the pillows.

Cedric also looked over through the light, and immediately saw the book held in Moon's hand. He said in a dumbfounded voice: "Are you still reading a book?"

Munn chewed the biscuits and cast a moving spell with the wand at hand, giving half a bag of bone biscuits to Cedric. "Well, I have almost finished reading this book, and there is only the last page left. I just want to wait until I finish reading before going to sleep." . It's you, why aren't you sleeping?"

"I can't sleep a little bit, and when I think about going home... I feel a little bit reluctant for some reason."

"Reluctant?"

"Well, you should be able to understand, Hogwarts, the professors... and of course, all of you." Cedric shrugged. "Although the summer vacation is only more than two months, well... I will write to you. Believe it."

"Me too." Moon smiled, "Don't think about it, otherwise it will be dawn soon, so go to sleep."

"Well, good night Moon - Oh, by the way, my dad may take me to see this year's Quidditch World Cup. Although I don't think you will be very interested, I still want to tell you first."

"Good night, Cedric."

Chapter 98 A birthday gift for Hagrid

The next day, everyone got up early. After collecting their luggage, they went to the auditorium to have breakfast together.

Probably affected by the different emotions of parting, even Yaerlin and Gal, who had always talked a lot, seemed particularly silent today.

In fact, Moon didn't quite understand it - the Christmas holiday wasn't too short, it was almost a month long, and at that time I didn't see anyone having such exaggerated feelings of separation.

But... maybe the world of children is so strange and inexplicably emotional?

After having the weirdest breakfast since the four of them met, at Cedric's suggestion, the few little ones ran to the lake for a walk together.The train taking the little wizards back to platform nine and three-quarters will not leave until ten o'clock in the morning, so they still have a lot of time to waste.

Originally, everyone wanted to go find Hagrid, but Hagrid was very busy today. He had to prepare the carriage to the station. It was estimated that he would not have any free time until he arranged for the little wizards to get on the carriage.

"Hey, Arlin, this year's Quidditch World Cup will be held during the summer vacation. Do you want to go and watch it?" After walking in silence for a while, Cedric took the lead to break the deadlock.

"Probably not going." Yaerlin kicked the pebbles on the ground distressedly. "Mom said she would take me to see my grandma. I guess we will stay there throughout the summer vacation, let alone go to the Quidditch World Cup. Even if It would be difficult to even send you a letter.”

After hearing this, Moon seemed to realize something.

Rather, he seemed to realize why all three of them were so unhappy.

"Gall, are you going to have something to do during the summer vacation?" Moon looked at Gal suspiciously.

Gal raised his head and glanced at Moon. He was a little confused at first. After a moment of reaction, he nodded feebly, "Well, my parents are going to France this summer. They may stay there for more than a month. Then I have to go live at my uncle's house - that place is so remote, I don't think my stupid owl will be able to find the way to deliver the letter to you."

Now Moon knew why they were in such a low mood - now it seemed that not only would they not be able to visit each other as promised during this summer vacation, but even communication would probably be a problem.

Cedric is going to watch the Quidditch World Cup with his family. It will definitely not be a matter of a day or two. They are all abroad, so they have to play outside for a few rounds, although playing is a very enjoyable thing for children. , but Cedric is indeed the kind of person who puts friends more importantly; Arlin is going to his grandma's house, and Gal is going to his uncle's house. Obviously, this is not an arrangement that makes them happy, not to mention that it is not possible now. This directly led to their agreement being ruined.

Moon looked at the three of them dumbfounded and comforted: "Okay, I think you don't need to. We will stay together for six full years in the future, with six Christmas holidays, Easter holidays and summer vacations. If everything goes well If so, we may still work together after graduation - there is so much time in the future, why rush for this summer vacation. It doesn't matter even if you can't communicate, everyone can take more photos and record some interesting things until school starts. It’s still the same sharing, isn’t it?”

There is no doubt that Moon's words are useless. A child's need for friendship is far beyond what can be dispelled by a few words.But at least everyone no longer looks as wilted as eggplants beaten by frost, which is a good thing after all.

They walked around the lake and joked a lot. They waited until it was almost time to gather for the carriage, then finally returned to the dormitory and hurried to the school gate with their luggage.

"Hey, you're here. I was just worried about whether you had overslept." Hagrid looked at the four little kids gasping for air and couldn't help but joked: "If you really sleep that late, You will have to spend this summer at Hogwarts."

"Ah? Can we still spend the summer vacation at Hogwarts?" Gal was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"Normally it's not possible." Hagrid shrugged. "But if it is really necessary and you have to live in Hogwarts for a whole summer, you can also apply to Professor Dumbledore and he will agree." .Okay, okay, now is not the time for small talk, hurry up and get on the carriage, you are already late, and you will be late if you don’t get on the carriage."

The four little wizards also realized that indeed, the Hogwarts Express would not stop at the station waiting for the four of them to board.At Hagrid's urging, the four little wizards quickly climbed onto the carriage one by one.When we got to the last one, Arlin, I didn’t know if he was tired when he ran over earlier, so he failed to climb up twice in a row. In the end, it was Hagrid who picked him up.

"Well, see you in September." Hagrid stood to the side and patted the back wall of the carriage. "Have a nice summer vacation, little guys."

"Happy summer vacation, Hagrid!" The four little wizards waved to Hagrid together.

"That's right Hagrid!" Moon slapped his forehead, quickly took out a thick hard-shell notebook from his bag, threw it towards Hagrid, and flicked the notebook when it reached the highest point. The floating spell passed.Hagrid quickly caught up with him and finally caught the notebook successfully.

He opened the book and saw "Happy Birthday Hagrid" written on the title page, and a line of small words below:

"Your friends: Moon, Gar, Cedric, Arlin, Violet, Tonks, Gemma, Angelina, Doreen, Nash."

The sturdy gamekeeper sniffed suddenly, and suddenly felt the corners of his eyes getting wet.

One weekend after the Christmas holiday, the four little wizards went to Hagrid's place to cook and drink tea as usual. During the chat, Moon asked about Hagrid's birthday. As a result, they found out that Hagrid was twelve years old. My birthday at the beginning of the month happened not long ago.

The little ones were very apologetic about this and thought it would have been better if they had asked earlier.So, they discussed together to give Hagrid a birthday present - one that was full of sincerity.

Under the leadership of Moon, they found other members of the school newspaper team, and everyone wrote blessings together. Moon and Nash were responsible for providing photos, Violet was responsible for illustrations, and the others looked around for many fire dragons. , manticores and similar dangerous magical animals pictures, articles and reports.In this way, ten people made this thick birthday gift together. In addition to blessings and content about magical animals, it was also filled with photos of them and Hagrid, which of course also included photos of everyone celebrating the Lunar New Year together. Of course, the ones they took during the New Year were more of the photos they secretly took of Hagrid at work.

This really took a lot of effort from everyone, and it was not completely completed until the end of last month - mainly because it was a bit difficult to secretly photograph Hagrid.

Hagrid stood there stupidly, flipping through several pages before remembering to look up at Munn and the others, but by this time, the carriage had already gone away.

Chapter 99 Home

After boarding the Hogwarts Express, several young wizards were shocked to realize that some people were far more sad than they were.

It's different from them just leaving Hogwarts for a short time, returning home for the summer vacation, and waiting until September to return to Hogwarts to continue their campus life.For the seventh-grade students of Hogwarts, leaving this time almost means that they will never see Hogwarts Castle again in the next ten years, decades, or even never.What's more, I have to say goodbye to my friends, classmates, and the girl they have been secretly in love with for seven years.Because they may go to other countries to seek development, and from now on they will be far apart and will never see each other again.

The joys and sorrows of human beings may not be the same, but after seeing some seventh-year wizards crying silently in the carriage, even Moon became sad.

The four of them walked along the train for a long time before finally finding an empty carriage. After entering and putting their luggage, a fat aunt on the train pushed a trolley through the door.

"Uh, give us four licorice wands, a pack of Bibi's multi-flavored beans and a box of Chuibao Super Bubble Gum, and some crucible cakes... Do you want chocolate frogs?" Gal turned back to him while paying the money. Several friends asked.

The three of them shook their heads, so Gal put the snacks on the table and excitedly opened the package of Bibi's multi-flavor beans. "Guess what flavor I can eat?"

Watching him twist a gray-green jelly bean, the three of them wisely did not make random guesses - strange colors like this are always paired with strange flavors. It is difficult to guess if you have never tasted them. from.

Sure enough, as soon as he threw the jelly beans into his mouth and chewed them twice, Gal put on a bitter look and said, "Ugh...it smells like waterweed. It reminds me of the giant squid in the lake."

The three of them were made to laugh by Garr, and each of them quickly took out a few jelly beans and started this unique adventure.

A few minutes later, Gemma, who came from nowhere, looked confusedly at the four first-grade kids in the carriage, each with a weirder expression than the last, and couldn't help but wonder if she had found the wrong person at the wrong time.

"Ah, Gemma..." Moon stuck out his tongue and forced himself to speak as clearly as possible: "Wait, damn, it's too sour... I just ate a sour Bibi Multi-Flavour Bean... You What's the matter?"

In fact, Moon is already the luckiest one. Before Gemma came in, Cedric ate ​​one with an even weirder taste. He is still retching and can't help but suspect that it might be goat poop. the taste of.What Gal ate was a super-enhanced version of mint flavor, and it was so cold that he even breathed carefully now.Arlin wasn't much better either. He was completely deprived of his soul by a Bibi multi-flavored bean that smelled like a smelly sock.

Gemma hesitated for a moment, as if she was hesitating whether to disturb the four little guys' enjoyment. After a few seconds, she finally made a decision and said, "Well, I want to say that next year our school newspaper office will have Are there any plans to expand enrollment? Several of my classmates also want to participate - not for extra points, but because they are really interested. In fact, they have already told me that they want to try the school newspaper job with us."

"Hiss..." Moon took a sip of the saliva that was still secreting. He felt that it was a bit indecent, but he really couldn't control it. "It probably needs to expand recruitment, but specifically how many people and who should be recruited. What do you think, let’s discuss it together when we come back in September?”

Gemma breathed a sigh of relief. She had never thought that Munn would directly decide to recruit all her friends - this was unrealistic and not what Munn would do at all. As long as she got the "recruitment" The news was enough for her. "Okay, then I'll go back and tell them so they can prepare for the holidays."

After saying that, Gemma glanced at the four little guys again, and couldn't help but smile. "I said, did you really eat such... exaggerated taste? Or did you eat them together?"

Gal couldn't hide his pain and nodded vigorously, "I suspect there's something wrong with this bag of beans (I suspect there's something wrong with this bag of beans), and I don't know how delicious they are (we didn't taste any good ones). )."

Hearing what Gal said, Gemma's curiosity was suddenly aroused. She looked at the open box of Bibi's multi-flavor beans on the table, thought about it, reached in and took out a white jelly bean.

According to her experience, white Bibi multi-flavor beans generally do not have a particularly strange taste. The ones she has tasted basically taste like snow, water, and very light melons and fruits.

Just like that, five seconds later, Gemma also put on the pain mask.

She never dreamed that a white Bibi multi-flavor bean would taste like super white pepper.

Is this really in the river?

…………

Before getting off the bus, Gal resealed the remaining half of the bag of Bibi's multi-flavor beans.

Although Cedric had been proposing to throw away those Bibi's multi-flavor beans - it was obvious that there was definitely a big problem with this bag of Bibi's multi-flavor beans. However, under the instigation of Arlin, Gal finally decided to throw away the bag of Bibi's multi-flavor beans. Save the braised beans.

He wanted to give his cousin, who had loved playing pranks on him since childhood, a taste of the "happiness" from the magical world.

"Well, see you in two months."

Most of the sadness of parting has been consumed by the previous relationship. This is a good thing. At least now, in the station where people come and go, the four little wizards no longer have to say goodbye painfully.

"Well, see you in two months." Moon waved vigorously and said goodbye to his three friends. "I will miss you. Write to me when you have the chance. I will definitely reply to you. Also, Remember to take lots of pictures, especially of you, Cedric.”

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it." Cedric nodded, followed what Munn taught them, and bumped fists with Munn, Gal and Arlin in turn - hugging always made Munn feel weird and awkward. , in comparison, a fist bump would be much better.

In this way, the four little badgers made peace with each other at the station, and then each walked towards their families.

"Brother Moon!!!" As soon as they saw the family, several little kids rushed over with shouts.Hesper was more restrained, while Owen and Quaid directly surrounded Moon. If Moon hadn't been carrying a suitcase in his hand, they might have been able to lift Moon directly.

Moon didn't bother to suppress the exuberant smile on his face. He ruffled the hair of his younger brothers and sisters one after another, and then walked to his two uncles and his mother An.

Time to go home.

★Volume [-]: Traces of the Death Eaters★

Chapter 1 Busy summer

If Hesper had to choose a favorite season among the four seasons of the year, the answer would undoubtedly be summer.

Summer is so wonderful, with cool soda and sweet sundaes, and being able to wear a pretty little dress and go out.

Just like Hesper is doing now.

At this moment, she was sitting on the swing in the yard of Shafiq Manor, wearing a beautiful white gauze skirt, holding a large box of pineapple sundae in her hand, enjoying the afternoon time to her heart's content.

Compared to the leisurely Hesper, Moon is obviously much busier. After all, the children at home are not so easy to take care of.

Not only do you have to entertain a bunch of babbling little kids and make them happy, but you also have to keep an eye on Owen and Quaid to prevent them from running around.Except for Hesper, none of the serious children in his family could make him worry much.

Uncle Golov is still working in the study, mother An is taking a lunch break, and uncle Edgar is out on business. He is now the eldest one in the family - the oldest and the most responsible.

Fortunately, he has taken care of children for so many years and can still understand their voices. In addition to being busier, he will not be too overwhelmed.

The summer vacation is almost halfway through, and August is about to enter. The wind is getting more and more scorching, and the heat carried by it can make people uncomfortable for half a day. Moon doesn't know why Owen and Quaid insist on doing this in the end. Isn’t it comfortable to go outside in the weather and stay in a room that is warm in winter and cool in summer?

Obviously, he was completely unable to understand the thinking of these two brothers, just like Owen and Quaid did not understand what was so interesting about Munn holding a book every day.

In addition to his younger brothers and sisters at home, Moon is also busy because of another source—responding to letters from his classmates.

Cedric has already set off with his family to enjoy the Quidditch World Cup in a foreign country, and promised to send more photos to a few people when he returns.But there has been no news from Gal and Yaerlin for a long time. To be honest, even though he knew their approximate whereabouts, Moon was still a little worried about these two people. Looking at their appearance, they obviously had no idea where they were going. Not very satisfied.It would be great fun if they ran away from home because they couldn't think of fun for a while.

Violet would occasionally send two letters to Munn, which would include some sketches she had drawn by herself, describing her holiday life to Munn.It’s quite exciting. It seems that Violet’s family took her to travel in nature a lot this summer, including hiking and camping.In addition, in the letters, Violet would use the most careful wording to confirm to Munn over and over again that their agreement was still valid, which made Munn dumbfounded.

In addition to Gemma, other people in the school newspaper office also send letters to Moon from time to time.Most of them shared experiences from the holidays, such as Doreen who sent a photo of her and her brother getting rid of goblins in their yard.Nash even sent a thick stack of photos, including strange-looking trees, owls squatting on the edge of chimneys, beautiful fireworks... He seemed to have walked around Muggle shopping streets with his parents twice, because From the photos he sent, Moon saw Muggle phones, cars, postmen on bicycles, and footballs displayed in the windows. It seemed that Nash probably found all of this very novel.

It is worth mentioning that Hagrid also sent a large parcel to Moon, which was filled with a cauldron cake that he baked himself.To be honest, the taste was terrible, but Moon still praised Hagrid in his reply, because at least this pack of cauldron cakes was not hard enough to bite your teeth.

She has to take care of her younger siblings, keep in touch with classmates and friends at school, plus the reading plan and magic training that Munn has made for herself...

All of this made Moon sigh in his heart more than once. This summer was almost the most fulfilling one he had ever had since coming to the magical world.
