NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7 Meeting Cedric
Flourish and Blotts Bookstore was packed with new students and their parents running around looking for the books they needed. Wood held Qiu Zhang in his arms and slowly squeezed into Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore.
"Ugh! I was almost so squeezed that I couldn't breathe!"
Qiu Zhang patted his chest while trying to dodge the books, crucibles, and materials flying in the air for no apparent reason.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time. It's too crowded. I'll die from the heat here!"
Wood exhaled hotly, his eyes met Qiu Zhang's firm eyes, and he got it immediately. The two nodded at each other at the same time.
"Ok!"
"go!"
Then the book was divided into two parts, and the soldiers were divided into two groups to find the book.
……
""Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", "History of Magic", "Magic Potions and Potions"... "Standard Spells" and my favorite "Broomstick Care Manual". OK, it's all here!"
Looking at the book that was no longer than the height of my eyes, and thinking that it was impossible to lift it by myself, Qiu Zhang decisively decided to try his new wand.
"Wingardium leviosa"
As Qiuchang's last words fell, the two thick stacks of books on the ground began to float strangely into the air, following the command of Qiuchang's wand.
"Yep! Success!"
Qiu Zhang carefully stared at his book in the air. Qiu Zhang was not very proficient in using this wand for the first time. I could only pay attention to my book and walk forward slowly.
At the corner, Qiu Zhang couldn't keep his eyesight properly and bumped into someone. As Qiu Zhang was knocked to the ground, his wand was also released. It was conceivable that the heavy book in the air was about to hit Qiu Zhang.
"what!"
Qiu Zhang couldn't help but froze in fear, and subconsciously closed his eyes. I didn't feel the expected pain, I only heard a muffled groan in my ears.
Qiu Zhang opened his eyes carefully, and what he saw was a boy with a furrowed brow protecting Qiu Zhang.
"you……"
Upon seeing this, Qiu Zhang stood up immediately and subconsciously looked at the boy's back.
"I'm sorry... I hurt you..."
Qiu Zhang's face was filled with guilt and his expression was extremely sad. The boy looked indifferent and bent down to pick up the wand on the ground and handed it to Qiu Zhang gently. Although it was obvious that his other hand was still subconsciously rubbing his waist.
【It must be very painful! 】
Thinking of this, Qiu Zhang's apologies almost overflowed.
"It doesn't matter. Look at what a coincidence. Your and my wands seem to be made of ash. It seems that we are very destined!"
Perhaps sensing Qiu Zhang's self-blame for himself, the boy changed the subject with a smile, and used a gentle tone to suddenly close the distance between the two.
"Are you Ash too?"
Perhaps thinking of the boy Mr. Ollivander said about the boy who bought the ash wand today, Qiu Zhang's attention was always attracted.
"Yes, I am Cedric Diggory. I am also a new student entering this year. What is your name?"
Seeing that Qiu Zhang was finally not immersed in self-blame, Cedric showed a gentle smile and acted like a gentleman to help Qiu Zhang arrange the books with magic and levitate them in the air.
"My name is Qiu Zhang. Thank you!"
Qiu Zhang looked at the book floating steadily in the air and thanked Cedric.
"It doesn't matter. I just finished my book, so it doesn't matter if I help you."
With Cedric's help, Qiu Zhang quickly transported the books out, and immediately saw Wood scratching his head and pacing back and forth in front of the bookstore.
"Wood!" Qiu Zhang raised his hand and called excitedly.
Wood immediately turned back with a silly smile on his face. Seeing the rather handsome young gentleman next to Qiu Zhang, his expression changed. With an expression as if her daughter had been kidnapped, she took Qiu's hand and stood back.
"Qiu, who is this?"
"This is Cedric. Thanks to him for helping me. Otherwise, all the books today would have been thrown at my face."
When Wood heard that Qiu Zhang was almost injured, he immediately became excited and quickly pulled Qiu Zhang around to check it again.
"What, are you okay then? Does it hurt anywhere?"
"Oliver...I told you, thanks to him, thanks to him, he was the one who got hurt, okay?"
Qiu Zhang shook his head helplessly, then turned his head with a concerned expression.
"Classmate Diggory, are you really okay?"
"It's really okay, don't worry!"
Cedric seemed to have a serious and concerned look on his face when he saw Qiu Zhang, as if he didn't believe him, and then turned around and twisted his waist.
"Look, there's really nothing wrong with me! Don't worry."
Cedric's tone was still so gentle and calm, and his expression patiently comforted Qiu Zhang. It was obvious that he was the one who was injured.
Wood seemed to realize the truth of the matter and immediately bowed 90 degrees in a serious and funny manner.
"So that's it, thank you so much!"
Cedric seemed a little shocked. Looking at Wood's exaggerated and serious expression, he couldn't help but hold back a smile and shook his head to express that it didn't matter.
Qiu Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, so he hit Wood on the head, pushed Wood behind him, and smiled sheepishly at Cedric.
Perhaps seeing Qiu Zhang's awkward expression, Cedric understood and took the initiative to say goodbye.
"Then I'll leave first!"
"Ah, okay, thank you so much this time. I will thank you again when you see me when school starts!"
"goodbye!"
Taking advantage of this moment, the conspicuous Balwood did not forget to break away from Qiu Zhang's back and say goodbye to Cedric.
