Chapter 20 Porridge or Chicken Legs
Potions class is very long and difficult for most students, probably because of Professor Snape's harsh and tricky teaching style and his vicious tongue towards his classmates.
But fortunately, it didn't matter to Cho Chang and Cedric. Cho Chang and Cedric always prepared potions that perfectly met Professor Snape's expectations very quickly and very accurately. The expressions on Cedric's group's faces have improved from time to time, and they don't look so cold.
"I don't know how to evaluate your potion skills, but I hope you won't let yourself down when you go down. If the level is like this again next time, I won't do nothing. And Cho Chang and Digory, you It's best not to be arrogant or arrogant. It's no big deal. Making such a simple potion should be done by normal people. get out of class is over!
Professor Snape reprimanded the students with disgust, and everyone could finally leave the cold Potions Professor. "
Professor Snape swung his black robe and quickly left the classroom. Qiu Zhang turned his head and said to Cedric with a happy expression on his face.
"Digory, let's go!"
"Ok!"
Cedric's eyes have been following Qiu Zhang's movements since the end of get out of class. When Qiu Zhang said the invitation, Cedric immediately showed a big smile, but still controlled himself to nod slightly to make himself look less childish. calm.
"you……"
Marietta looked meaningful, but she was pulled away by a boy next to her who said she was going to the library to study. Qiu Zhang looked over and vaguely saw that the boy was the one who was injured by the broom in the flying class. . It seems that Marietta and the boy developed a relationship through that experience and became good friends.
"Eh!~"
Wood's voice came from far away. Qiu Zhang put his hand in front of his forehead to block the sun. He squinted hard and saw a person jumping to say hello on the lawn in the distance.
"Oliver!"
Qiu Zhang waved in response, took Cedric's hand and jogged over.
"Oliver, why are you alone today, where is Senior Davis?"
"He, if he needs anything, just ask me to come!"
Wood looked away with a look of pride on his face, as if it was praiseworthy to be able to teach and train Qiu Zhang.
"Pfft! That's really up to you!"
Qiu Zhang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Next to him, Cedric also saw that the person in front of him was the conspicuous guy who was at Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore when school started. Fortunately, he couldn't hold back his laughter. He just raised his hand to smile with a polite smile on his face. Say hello.
"Hello, senior, I am Qiu Zhang's friend."
"Hiss... why do you look so familiar! ~ Oh ~ I remembered, you are the guy who helped us move books in Qiu before."
Wood confirmed Cedric's identity with a smile on his face. He even asked Cedric if he was interested in Quidditch. The conversation with Cedric was very harmonious. Cedric also had a high emotional intelligence. Wood's various All problems are solved.
"Ahem! Hey, do you have to give me the broom before we chat!" Qiu Zhang tugged on Wood's clothes and couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh! Sorry..."
Wood immediately handed the broom tightly in his hand to Qiu Chang, then opened the box where the Quidditch balls were placed, slowly released the Golden Snitch, and tossed it lightly. The Golden Snitch's wings vibrated rapidly, and he ran away in less than a moment. No trace.
Qiu Zhang immediately mounted his broom, keeping an eye on the movement and direction of the golden snitch, and quickly chased after him. As soon as they reached the high altitude, the Golden Snitch miraculously disappeared. It may be that he did not realize that the Golden Snitch was hiding.
Qiuzhang rode the broom and slowly rotated in a circle. Now, as soon as a small golden light shone under Qiu Zhang's right foot and was illuminated by the sun's rays, Qiu Zhang immediately controlled the broom to turn and swoop down. The scenery also turned into an afterimage, and there was only the sound of the wind whistling in his ears and the sound of the golden snitch fluttering in front of him. Qiu Zhang accelerated again, tried to reach out, and caught the golden snitch hard.
"Yeah! Wow!"
Qiu Zhang held up the hand holding the Golden Snitch and rode a broom with one hand in a 360-degree circle in the sky. He was so happy!
Cedric, who was observing from the ground, only felt shocked and unexpected. It seemed like it was the first time he had seen Qiu Zhang like this. He seemed to know Qiu Zhang's talent, Qiu Zhang's exploration and love for knowledge, Qiu Zhang treated everyone like a gentle and good lady.
But Cedric has never seen Qiuzhang flying freely in the sky like this. She is like a female eagle soaring in the sky, so free, so carefree, so happy!
Seeing Cedric's stunned expression, Wood couldn't help but laugh so hard that he wanted to roll on the ground. He put his arm on Cedric's shoulders and shook Cedric to wake him up from his emotions.
"How is it? Isn't Qiu very powerful!"
"No, she is top notch! She is really talented in Quidditch!"
Cedric's eyes were still fixed on Qiu Zhang, who was flying in the air. The emotion in his eyes was hard to tell, whether it was attachment, admiration or just envy for his friend. Just a vague emotion was slowly planted in Cedric's heart at this moment.
…………Time passes quickly…………
With the training of Cedric and Wood, the Quidditch training time passed quickly. Even Qiu Zhang never felt tired. I wonder if it was because he was used to such long training.
At the auditorium table...
There were a few scattered pieces of chicken nuggets on Qiu Zhang's plate. Just as Qiu Zhang was about to grab something more to eat, Cedric next to him brought a bowl of pumpkin porridge to Qiu Zhang, his eyes gentle and seemingly considerate. But at the same time, Wood on the other side brought over two large chicken drumsticks on the plate.
"Qiu, you must be starving after exercising for so long. Eat some meat quickly to replenish your nutrition. I personally certified that this chicken drumstick is super delicious!" Wood smiled naively and stuffed the drumstick into Qiu Zhang's hand.
"Zhang, you just finished your strenuous exercise. You can eat some pumpkin porridge first to replenish water. You have just finished your exercise and you still have to eat high-calorie foods slowly..."
Cedric still had that gentle and considerate look on his face, but he didn't know whether Qiu Zhang misunderstood what he said, or he seemed to be reminding Qiu Zhang not to take Wood's things with him.
"Qiu, eat me!" Seeing Qiu Zhang's eyes being attracted by Cedric, Wood immediately tugged Qiu Zhang's arm to make Qiu Zhang turn his head to look at him.
"Zhang, it's okay if you want to eat chicken legs, but remember to drink some porridge later. Don't eat so many salty things after doing strenuous exercise..."
Cedric retreated and slowly took back the porridge in his hand. Qiu Zhang immediately took the porridge from Cedric's hand.
"It's okay, I'll drink porridge first."
Then he saw that Wood's expression was wrong and he was staring at Cedric with an irritable expression. Qiu Zhang immediately reached out and took Wood's hand. Holding the porridge in one hand and the chicken leg in the other, he swallowed the porridge in one mouthful and the chicken leg meat in the other.
"How do you know I like a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of meat? It's so good... Haha, it's so good... (slurred with rice in mouth)"
In the end, this invisible battle ended peacefully with Qiu Zhang's own efforts, but it was pitiful that Qiu Zhang had a salty mouthful and a sweet taste in his mouth. …

…Wood Little Theater…
The herbal medicine class had just ended, and all the third-grade students were rushing away. Some of them were busy feeling it out, while some were not in a hurry and were still observing their own herbal medicine. Roger Davis couldn't help but look panicked as he stared at the magical plant that he didn't know why it was dying.
"Dai Jie, please help me take care of the first-grade seeker this afternoon. I have to save my precious homework!" Captain Davis looked anxious, patted his friend beside him, and handed Qiu Zhang's training task to him.
"Okay!"
"Wait, I can go, just ask me!"
Wood, who had sharp ears, immediately heard the important information and asked his friends to go first. He immediately came to Davis and Dai Jie. Davis did not look at Wood, rolled his eyes and ignored it.
Dai Jie looked at the two of them awkwardly, then quietly slipped away.
"Hey, hey, hey! Dai Jie, don't leave! You know me too, am I not capable enough to take care of a first-year novice?"
"But...why should I believe you? After all, you are from Gryffindor. If you lead our precious Seeker into trouble..."
Dai Jie was interrupted by Wood before he even finished speaking.
"What are you talking about? Of course it's impossible...you don't know the relationship between Qiu and me..."
"what relationship?"
"She is my most beloved genius sister!"
"Why didn't I know you had a sister? Aren't you an only child?"
Wood scratched his head helplessly and responded with a smile.
"I feel like brothers and sisters, I feel like brothers and sisters! Hehe..."
"Fine……"
Dai Jie rolled his eyes, and finally seemed to have thought of something, and immediately put forward his conditions.
"Then I want to ride your Nimbus 1700,...um...for a month!"
"Where are you taking advantage of?"
Wood was immediately angry, with his hands on his hips and his face full of anger. This emotion was even worse when he looked at Dale's indifferent expression.
"Then do you want it? I'll tell you in advance. Davis's herbal medicine can't be mastered in one day. At least for the next two or three weeks, you can train alone with the first-year Seeker. !”
"……OK!"
Wood was silent for a long time, but finally agreed. With a look full of resentment, he stared at Dai Jie, the hateful person who took advantage of the situation!
