Chapter 355 Cedric's Source of Happiness



The train spewed out puffs of steam as it moved along the road.

In the carriage, after Kyle and his friends arrived, Kanna and Qiu stopped reading magazines with Luna and started asking each other about their holiday experiences.

When it comes to this, Qiu gets angry.

"Cedric the liar!"

She said angrily: "He told me before that Beauxbatons School of Magic was in the Pyrenees Mountains. We went there, but we couldn't find the place he mentioned on the map.

We've been going around in circles all day and haven't found anything!"

“That’s normal.”

Kyle said, "I don't know about the others, but the locations of the three major magic schools in Europe are protected to prevent their teaching methods from being leaked, and to protect the students and the schools themselves from any harm."

"Just like Hogwarts, if a Beauxbatons student came to visit, all he would see is a bare cliff."

Qiu and Kanna were stunned.

Although they knew that the school had protective magic, they always thought that it was to prevent being discovered by Muggles... just like the Muggle-repelling charm at the door of the Leaky Cauldron.

I didn't expect this kind of protection would also work on wizards.

"But why can Cedric..." Qiu asked puzzledly.

"Maybe he met someone before." Kyle thought for a moment, "If a professor or someone from another school mentioned the location of Beauxbatons to him, then this protection would be ineffective."

Or if a student takes him there, he will not be affected either, which is a bit like the Fidelius Charm."

Qiu thought about it, and it seemed that Cedric had said before that he met an old wizard by chance in France, and he told him the location of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic.

That's probably why.

Qiu was a little frustrated. Why didn’t she meet him?

"The Fidelius Curse?"

At this time, Ginny raised her head from The Quibbler and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Dad mentioned this spell before, but I can't quite remember it."

"A type of oath spell, usually used to hide important secrets."

"Will the school teach this spell?" Ginny's eyes lit up and she looked very interested.

"No." Kyle shook his head, "The difficulty of this spell is far beyond the level of normal students. If you are not strong enough and still force it, it may even backfire on you.

So unless the professors think you can do it, they won’t teach you even if you ask.”

"Is that so..." Ginny looked disappointed.

"Ginny, do you have any secrets?" Fred looked at her with a smirk.

George also came over and said, "Tell us, we promise not to tell anyone."

"You said the same thing before." Ginny glared at the two of them unhappily. "If I had known this spell before the holidays, I wouldn't have to be blamed by Percy for two months!"

Fred and George knew they were in the wrong and quickly retracted their necks.

The Hogwarts Express traveled northwards. The scenery outside the window became increasingly desolate. As the clouds in the sky thickened, the sky darkened.

People were running and chasing each other past the door of their box.

"No fireworks in the aisle. Which college are you from?"

Percy's voice came from the other side of the door.

But not only did those people not respond, they made even louder noises and ran away laughing.

Percy chased after him, shouting as he ran, "Stop, I'm the student union president!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened and Cedric came in like a thief.

"I'm here to report something." Cedric closed the door.

"You two should run." He looked at Fred and George and said with a heavy face, "Percy already knows that you tampered with his badge. Judging from his appearance, he should want to kill you and then hang you outside the train as a warning to others! If we hadn't just happened to see someone playing with fireworks in the aisle, he might have been the one coming in now."

Fred and George looked at each other and smiled.

"Why run, just let him come." Fred said, not seeming worried at all.

"Do you think we are afraid of Percy's big head?" George laughed, "Let me tell you, we are not afraid at all."

As they spoke, they took out candies and shared them with others, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

The noise outside the door became quieter and quieter.

They heard Percy's voice again, "Too arrogant, Slytherin, you don't even take the Student Union President seriously. I will definitely tell Professor Snape..."

Although the sound was very small, it could be heard, which meant that he was nearby.

Fred slapped his thigh. "I almost forgot. Lee Jordan asked us to go find him after we got on the train."

"I remember that too." George nodded. "He also said he had something important to discuss with us."

"It just so happens that there's nothing to do right now, so let's go."

"OK."

They stood up at the same time, walked calmly to the door of the box, and looked outside.

"Fred, George!" Percy roared from not far away.

The two of them opened the door and rushed out quickly.

Because of his big movement, George hit his head on the door frame. He grimaced in pain, but he still covered his head and followed Fred closely.

There were bursts of cheerful laughter in the box.

Cedric walked over to their previous seat and sat down. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I thought they were really not afraid."

Ginny chuckled, "They locked Percy in a pyramid a few weeks ago, and when Percy found out, he beat the crap out of them.

If you look closely, you'll see that George occasionally rubs his left butt.

Because Percy thought he was the mastermind and gave him an extra beating... but that's exactly what happened."

The laughter in the box got louder.

Cedric, in particular, laughed the loudest. He was happier to see the Weasley brothers in trouble than to pick up the money himself.

At one o'clock, the fat witch pushing a food cart came to the door of their box.

Kyle hadn't eaten much in the morning and was already hungry, so he simply bought a bunch of cauldron cakes.

He bought the largest portion, enough for the six of them.

Although the taste of this cake is average, it is much better than chocolate and candy.

After eating the cake, they chatted for a while. At around three or four o'clock, it started to rain and the rolling hills outside the window became blurred.

As a prefect, Cedric was supposed to help maintain order in the carriage, but Percy was too dedicated to his duties, and his voice could always be heard outside. Most of the young wizards would be scolded by him as soon as they showed their heads.

Even if he went there it would be of no use.

Cedric also took a rare break and played Crackling Explosion cards with Kyle in the comfortable box.
