Chapter 929 [Chapter 5] 15
This year, during the regular Christmas and New Year holidays at Hogwarts, a big event happened.
When Dumbledore was out on errands, Bellatrix took the werewolf Fenrir Greyback and several Death Eaters to attack the Burrow where the Weasleys lived-at that time, Harry and Hermione also There, too, were Lupine and Tonks.However, no one could stop it in time.
The cunning and vicious Bellatrix used a poisonous trick to lure Harry out first, and then Ginny rushed out to ensure Harry's safety-then the Death Eaters surrounded the Burrow with a curse and set it on fire. A wall of fire was built, temporarily hindering the footsteps of others.During this short interval, Bellatrix led Harry and Ginny to a field not far away.
Harry protected Ginny and fought a brave battle with the Death Eaters.When they stumbled back to the Burrow, they found that the entire Burrow was surrounded by raging flames.The flames of the Burrow soared high, and half of the night sky was illuminated red by the bright orange-red flames—there was no room for fighting the fire when Harry arrived; what's more, Ginny was injured.
When Liu Quan got the news, he only had time to go to St. Mungo's to visit Ginny, and then packed up the Weasley family and Harry and Hermione and brought them back to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
Without Kreacher messing around, almost all the portraits are covered with drapes, and the people in the portraits can no longer swear for hours a day; 12 Grimmauld Place looks a little more livable now.
Liu Quan enthusiastically expressed to Arthur and Molly Weasley that their family could live here forever, and I believe that even if Harry inherited the property in the second year, his decision would not be different.
Arthur and Molly were disturbed and anxious that their daughter was still lying in St. Mungo's - Ginny was said to have been cursed and fell to the ground when Harry arrived.For the time being, they readily accepted Liu Quan's kindness—because they really had no other energy to find a new house suitable for their big family to live in.
Dumbledore also rushed back from outside afterwards.Ginny woke up after being in a coma for half a month in St. Mungo's.But thanks to Merlin, most of the wounds she suffered were a little skin trauma. Although the evil curse in the spell made her unconscious for a long time, after waking up, after detailed examination, it did not cause much harm to her mentally.
Therefore, after being discharged from the hospital, Ginny quickly returned to Hogwarts to resume classes.
At this time, Harry was worrying about Ron's relationship—Ron first had a hot fight with Lavender, and then this incident angered Hermione; Harry's own relationship with Zhang Qiu ended in a hurry last year, so he dealt with it. I don't have much experience in this delicate and complicated relationship.He felt very nervous.
Moreover, since Ginny returned to Hogwarts, she even asked Harry once, insincerely, why Harry invited Luna to the Christmas party held by Professor Slughorn.
Harry hesitated, talked about him from left to right, managed to get away with it, and didn't give any decent reasons; once he got rid of Ginny's questioning, he ran away, and then found the only one in Hogwarts that he could now Professor Evans appealed to this distress, begging her to talk to Ginny and Hermione.
Although Professor Evans was a little surprised, but after asking about what happened, she still agreed that at the "appropriate time", she would go to these two cute little lionesses of Gryffindor—no, cute little girls Let's talk heart to heart.
Harry felt slightly relieved.
...But now, when Liu Quan faced the Miss Ginny Weasley who was attacked and injured by Bellatrix because she was worried about Harry during the attack of the Death Eaters, she felt inexplicably ... Violation.
The incident of the Death Eaters burning down the Burrow was an impressive scene in the movie Liu Quan watched in the world of Jataka a long time ago.Ginny is not hurt in the movie though.Of course, this discrepancy in details may be the difference between the setting of this fandom world and the original work.But...Liu Quan always felt that the little red girl in the Weasley family in front of him looked more imposing than the genuine Hogwarts professor of Muggle studies. .
Like Harry, Hermione, and Ron's "iron triangle of trouble" in Snape's mouth, Ginny also took the Muggle Studies course taught by Liu Quan.However, it was the first time that he knocked on the door of Professor Lily Evans' office after class like this, saying that he had something to discuss with her.
Ginny wasn't as studious as Hermione - but compared to Harry and Ron, she was a bit more inquisitive.In addition, during class today, Liu Quan poured those young wizards a big pot of Muggle literature chicken soup on a whim—of course, considering their ignorance of the Muggle world, Liu Quan chose simple but beautifully worded Tagore's collection of poems - she could see that the eyes of the group of little wizards, except for Hermione, turned into confused mosquito coils during class.
After class, Ginny ran up to Liu Quan with a face full of anger, as if she was going to fight to the end with the meaning of Tagore's poetry collection, and said that if she still couldn't fully understand the difficult lines of this Muggle poem, she would visit Professor Evans tonight. The office asked for help; Liu Quan thought it was easy to understand, so he agreed with a smile.
Sure enough, after eight o'clock in the evening, Miss Ginny Weasley knocked on the door of the Muggle Studies Office outside.In the magical portrait of Alice in Wonderland hanging on the door, the March Hare opened the door after getting tonight's password "New Moon Collection" from Ginny.
Liu Quan is reading at the table.It is rare to have such a relaxing night without worrying about anything, and there is no night watch job. While drinking coffee, she hums and reads the "New Moon Collection" that serves as the door opening code for her office tonight.
When Ginny walked silently to her desk, she was reading a poem called "My Song."
[My child, this song of mine will touch your forehead like the kiss of blessing.
My song will be the wings of your dreams, it will carry your heart to the shores of the unknown.
When the night covers your way, it will become the faithful starlight that shines on your head. 】
At this moment Ginny came to the table.She lowered her head, and also saw the poems that her Muggle studies professor was reading—because Liu Quan was holding a coffee cup in one hand, the book of poems was spread out on the table.
Ginny stared at the opened page, and murmured thoughtfully:
"When my voice is silenced by death, still my song will sing in my living heart."
Liu Quan raised his head unexpectedly.
It's not because Ginny can read the book accurately from that reversed angle - but because the tone of Ginny's poem is a bit strange.
A little sad, a little sigh, and a kind of indescribable passion and anger—to be honest, Liu Quan didn't think the content of this poem could offend a little wizard with both parents and a happy family to such an extent?
She looked up at Ginny in surprise.Then, she heard Ginny speak with a little anger.
"What a fine poem by the great Muggle poet—Professor Evans, is that why you chose it for your lecture?"
Liu Quan was a little surprised, and he paused before replying: "...It's not exactly like that, Weasley. It just happens to like it very much."
"Oh," said Ginny, "I carefully read the poetry collection of Mr. Tagore that you introduced to us today. I have to say that the "Crescent Moon Collection" you used as a password seems to be more special—it It's all about mothers and children."
The sense of disobedience that Liu Quan felt was even heavier—although "New Moon Collection" is indeed all about this, but a little girl like Ginny Weasley came to talk to her about the relationship between mother and child , but it made people feel a little strange—and a kind of inexplicable vigilance.
She responded cautiously: "Indeed..."
"I think another poem would be good," said Ginny abruptly, opening the book she had brought with her--it seemed to be a "New Moon Collection" or a manuscript or something--and read Said: "Mother, let us imagine that we are traveling through a strange and dangerous country. It is evening, and the sun has set. The wasteland of Joradish spreads before us wearily and grayly, the land is desolate and barren. of--"
Liu Quan quietly reached for the table, picked up his "New Moon Collection", and turned to the page that Ginny was reciting.
The poem is called "Heroes".
Ginny went on reading: "At that moment a terrible cry broke out, and shadows of many people ran towards us... I shouted to you: 'Don't be afraid, mother, I'm here.'"
Listening to Ginny's chanting without ups and downs and emotions, Liu Quan slowly pursed his lips.
"This is such a fierce battle, mother, if you can see it from the sedan chair, you will definitely shudder." Ginny read. "I know you were sitting there alone, thinking that your child must be dead by this time..."
Liu Quan's face slowly tensed up.She is now almost sure of Ginny's purpose for coming here today——
Shout out for Harry.
Because of the people Ginny Weasley knew and was close to, whom she could speak out and defend, Harry Potter had lost his mother.
But why did Ginny choose this moment, for her?She was neither the culprit who caused James and Beryl to die, nor did she treat Harry harshly—in fact, she considered herself one of the Hogwarts staff who maintained a good relationship with Harry One; Ginny had absolutely no reason to go out of her way to prick her nerves with poetry.
Listening to Ginny's dry recitation, Liu Quan decided to interrupt the mutual torture.
She suddenly put down the book of poems in her hand, looked up at Ginny again, and said calmly, "Where does your hostility towards me come from, Miss Weasley?"
Ginny finally stopped that tormenting recitation.Across the huge desk, Liu Quan could also tell that there was an undisguised, angry light in her eyes.
"...Because I know, you're a fake, Ms. Evans!"
