Chapter 1721

~5 min read 813 words

I wanted to remind Mom that I was here, but Mom couldn't see me.

She kept crying and crying.

I wanted to cry too because of her crying.

Finally, Dad came in and cried with her.

I hugged them; although I could only let myself float between them and vaguely embrace them, my drifting heart suddenly felt at peace.

"Don't cry."

"Don't cry, don't cry."

"Polly, don't cry, don't cry!"

A voice was calling me.

I thought I was still with Mom and Dad.

But I suddenly woke up.

I felt I was lying in Hannah's arms.

I stopped crying and opened my eyes.

"Thank you, Hannah."

I said in a low voice.

Hannah sighed.

"It's okay, many people cried, Darren almost had a breakdown, Harry Potter fainted, Dementors are really not good things."

Her face was also very pale.

But she still held me firmly.

I hugged Hannah's waist and buried my face in her arms.

I miss Mom and Dad.

So, so much.

When I went to the Great Hall to watch the Sorting Ceremony, I saw Snape take Darren away.

Professor McGonagall also took Hermione and Harry away.

I suspect Darren chose all the courses and intends to get a Time-Turner for it.

I'm a bit envious.

But there's no way, I don't intend to stand out, so how could I choose all the courses?

Only those top students like them are qualified to get a Time-Turner.

For students like me in the lower-middle range, if I chose all the courses, the professors would force me to drop one.

It's not like everyone is the protagonist.

I sighed.

I could only continue listening to the surrounding students discussing the Dementors on the train.

And eat food by the way.

Maybe it's because I dreamed about Mom and Dad, so I feel especially hungry now.

So hungry that I want to take a bite of Hannah's round face.

Fortunately, I didn't do that, otherwise I suspect Hannah might break up with me.

I ate the oatmeal in big mouthfuls, with a beef patty in my hand.

This damn foreign cookbook, why can't it make some food that belongs to my great China?

I complained.

Then I saw Darren and Hermione and the others come out.

I looked at the necks of Hermione and Darren, and saw a suspicious necklace on Darren's neck.

My curiosity surged again.

Can you show me?

But that's just thinking about it; I'm not that oblivious.

Although I have curiosity, I also understand that I still have to rely on Darren to live well.

I can't offend him for such a small thing. Life after school started is not bad.

This is the truth.

Compared to accident-prone bodies like Darren and Harry, my days are as calm as ever.

Even Professor Trelawney, the Divination professor, didn't predict my death in the first class of the semester.

Of course, she almost completely ignored me; I suspect she didn't notice me at all.

Instead, she was telling us that she predicted the deaths of Harry Potter and Darren Potter.

I watched speechlessly as she scared several girls to tears.

After seeing the satisfied, dark-humored smile flash in her eyes, I shook my head helplessly.

However, after I finished the Divination class, I heard rumors that in the Arithmancy class, Professor Vector predicted that Darren would have an accident.

Or that someone he cares about would have an accident.

Really?

Isn't it said that divination isn't very accurate?

If it were Trelawney's "jumping god" state, I might believe it, but this Vector, I don't seem to have heard his name in the original work.

Is what he said credible? However, to my surprise, Darren really did have a small accident in the afternoon.

To be precise, it wasn't him who had an accident, but Malfoy.

Just like in the original work, he provoked Buckbeak and had his amulet smashed.

Amulet...

Good guy, their family even has amulets!

By the way, why do they all say Professor Vector's calculations are accurate, then... is Malfoy someone he cares about?

A bunch of BL novel fragments flashed through my mind, but finally I heard Hannah say that Darren must be worried about Hagrid.

I was stunned for a moment before I remembered: Malfoy had an accident, Hagrid would definitely be retaliated against by him, so by extension, it means Hagrid had an accident.

So the person Darren cares about is Hagrid? Does he really not worry about Malfoy?

I feel that the Malfoy in this world is actually not as annoying as in the original work.

At least he and Darren rarely quarrel.

Hmm, even if they quarrel, it's because of Harry Potter.

Wait, they wouldn't both like Harry Potter and be fighting for favor, would they? I was amused by this thought and almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, I held it back.
