Never Give Up
Matsuda Chinatsu suddenly remembered what her mother had said to her when she first visited Tianhe Si: "The ability to predict the future is a double-edged sword. Xiaonai must always remember that you must never think of yourself as a superior outsider. You and I, we just have an extra talent. We are just one of the countless living beings."
The six-year-old girl was clueless, and Tianhe Si just stroked her hair and said gently, "It's okay if Xiaonai doesn't understand now, but you must remember what I said today."
"Definitely, definitely, remember this."
Without warning, Chinatsu Matsuda shed a tear.
"Am I... a terrible student?"
Tears fell more and more, hitting the lenses and forming two small puddles.
Tianhe Si gently took off her glasses and handed her a handkerchief.
"Why do you say that?"
Matsuda Chinatsu's trembling voice gradually turned into sobs: "I am conceited and stupid... You clearly said it a long time ago, but I still acted superior... I thought I could save everyone, at least, at least save him..."
Tianhe Tsukasa's eyes trembled slightly, and he slowly placed his hand on Matsuda Chinatsu's head.
"Xiao Nai, you did well enough."
"You have done much better than I expected. You have always been our proudest student, both to Professor Snape and to me."
Matsuda Chinatsu: “But…”
"You know, I regretted the moment you decided to go undercover."
Tianhe Si patted her soothingly, just like when he coaxed her to drink bitter medicine when she was a child.
He looked at the starry sky above his head, his tone always gentle.
"I really regret letting you go to England. At that time, I didn't know if my decision was right, but I thought you should go, experience it, and make your own choice. But when you really chose to go undercover as I predicted, I regretted not stopping you from the beginning."
"You know, ever since you became my student, I couldn't foresee much about your future. I didn't know if you could survive."
Tianhe Si was afraid that Matsuda Chinatsu would end up with a tragic death.
"Last year, when I saw you in such poor condition, covered in injuries, I once again doubted whether my original decision was wrong. It could have been avoided."
Matsuda Chinatsu stopped crying at some point and looked at Tenkawa Tsukasa.
In her impression, Tianhe Si has always been mysterious and calm, with some childish mischief. Undoubtedly, he is powerful.
Just like Dumbledore.
She looked away. "I've never regretted going to Hogwarts, and I certainly don't regret going undercover."
She paused, her firm tone tinged with a hint of awkwardness: "I never blamed you. Everything was my own choice. You are not wrong."
Tianhe Si chuckled, and before Matsuda Chinatsu got angry, he rubbed her head skillfully: "I know, Xiaona has always been a kind child, so she wants to protect everyone. I don't think what you said just now is right. As the youngest student council president in the history of Hogwarts, Xiaona is of course a smart child."
"As for arrogance, Xiaonai is so outstanding, what's wrong with being a little proud?"
He bent down and looked directly into her tear-red eyes: "Xiao Nai, your presence is very important to Professor Snape. Even if he sacrifices himself, I think he will not be alone in the fight against Voldemort and during his time as a double agent."
"For him, this memory no longer conveys utter loneliness and coldness. He must have looked forward to the future, rather than harboring the desire to die early."
"Only those who have hope in their hearts can feel happiness. He must have experienced this kind of beauty because of you."
Matsuda Chinatsu was stunned and speechless, her eyes filled with tears again.
She quickly turned her face away and suppressed her surging emotions.
Tianhe Si stood up, picked up the black tea and took a sip, then continued, "Xiao Nai habitually stands in front of everyone. This is courage and great love, and it is definitely not arrogance."
"But sometimes you really have to learn to trust your friends."
Matsuda Chinatsu hummed softly.
"So, we have shaken hands and made peace?" Tianhe Si said with a smile.
After a moment of silence, Matsuda Chinatsu raised her head and looked directly at him: "I still don't completely agree with your approach regarding the Resurrection Society."
Tianhe Si didn't look surprised. He just nodded and said, "Then do as you think is right, Xiaonai."
"I trust your judgment."
Matsuda Chinatsu pursed her lips, and her eyes, which had been stained by tears, seemed to have been washed clean of all impurities, and they bloomed with a long-lost bright light.
"I see."
"thank you."
The heavy black-framed glasses were left in the planetarium. The moment she pushed open the door, she seemed to hear the sound of shackles breaking.
After all, hawks belong to the sky full of freedom and challenges, and Ravenclaw never gives up.

Yue Yong Jidou lay on the bed, his thoughts in a mess.
The heartless Aye was sleeping soundly, and the little snoring coming from the guardian egg made the silent night seem less empty.
“Knock, knock…”
A faint knocking sound came from the window. Yue Yongjidou sat up alertly, walked over slowly and opened the curtains.
A pair of bright eyes suddenly came into view. Under the moonlight, Matsuda Chinatsu's face was no longer gloomy, and Tsukuyomi Jito stood there in a daze.
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Chinatsu Matsuda tilted her head in confusion and knocked on the window gently again. Tsukuyomi Jito's heart beat with her knocking.
He opened the window and Matsuda Chinatsu whispered, "Come out."
After saying that, he climbed onto the roof of Yueyong’s house.
Tsukuyomi Jito paused for a few seconds before climbing up from the window with ease.
Chinatsu Matsuda had already found a place to sit down. She patted the seat next to her, her duck-colored eyes lively and bright in the moonlight.
"I bet you'll have trouble sleeping tonight."
She raised her head slightly to look at the night sky, her hands supported behind her.
Yue Yong Jidou lay down directly, his deep blue eyes fixed on an unknown place.
"So Chinatsu-sensei is here to enlighten me?"
His tone was lazy.
"I'm not good at guiding others." Matsuda Chinatsu chuckled, "That's Tianhe Tsukasa's forte."
Tsukuyomi Jidou crossed his hands behind his head and curled his lips when he heard that: "Indeed."
There was silence for a moment, and a quiet understanding flowed between the two of them.
"Tonight, I'm also going to see Gebei's concert."
Matsuda Chinatsu suddenly spoke up, and before Tsukuyome Ito could be surprised, she jokingly said, "Very good, Ito-kun. When you act so handsome, the girls down there can't take their eyes off you."
“Ahem…”
Tsukuyomi Jito felt the embarrassment of being discovered by someone he knew while trying to establish a persona. He turned his head away, not looking at the amusement-filled person. "It shows the audience has good taste, unlike you... humph."
"What about me?"
Matsuda Chinatsu continued to tease him, and when the cat started to get angry, she calmed down a bit: "Okay, okay, seriously, Ikuto-kun is actually very handsome too, super-charming."
In the darkness of the night, Yue Yongjidou's ears quietly turned red, but he still did not look back.
