Entering March, the weather is getting warmer, and the continuous rain seems to end with the end of February.The lawn on the playground is full of greenery and vitality.

On the morning of the first Saturday in March, the sixth grade students came to the playground together to learn Apparition.Since they started taking the class in February, no student has yet successfully Apparated, but several say they feel a difference when they spin in circles.

Body splits happened a few times, and those students who had split bodies were always a little panicked when they took the Apparition class, for fear that a certain part of them would leave them again.

"I really don't want to waste the whole morning foolishly going around in circles on the playground." Laurie saw a pile of old-fashioned wooden circles that had been placed in the distance, and the students who came early had already chosen their positions familiarly. .

"Maybe we can succeed today?" Qiu followed Laurie to their favorite corner, "Did Cedric tell you any secrets?"

"No," Laurie said despondently, squatting down and began to pluck the blooming wildflowers on the playground. "He's so busy that I hardly have time to meet him."

"This is really strange." Qiu sat down beside her, enjoying the rare tranquility.The success of the potion is imminent, and she will be able to harvest a small bottle of golden elixir tonight.

In her mind, she began to silently calculate how much she owed Harry, excluding the fifty Galleons for the potion, she also borrowed twelve Galleons to sign up for Apparition courses.She has a premonition that before she graduates and finds a job, she will need to continue to borrow money from Harry, and has been living a life without new clothes, snacks, or pocket money.

Her life is very bitter.

Tecross, a teacher sent by the Ministry of Magic to teach Apparition courses, appeared on the playground on time. The students chatting together in twos and threes hurriedly dispersed and stood in front of a wooden circle.

"Remember the three D's: purpose, determination, and calm!" He reiterated the three Apparition tricks, "Concentrate on where you are going, which is this wooden circle in front of you, and let the desire to enter be overwhelmed. Every smallest part of your body, and then calmly rotate in place, you must be calm, don't panic, and don't be distracted!"

"I don't think it's any use at all what he says," lamented Laurie. "I know the truth, but it's no use at all."

Qiu didn't answer, she was staring at the circle intently, imagining that she was dispersed into organs, tissues, cells, molecules, atoms, filling every part of herself into that circle...

She turned in a circle, and a crushing sensation emerged, as if she had entered a narrow rubber tube, her arms being pressed tightly against her body.

This feeling made her a little flustered, and she almost fell on the spot.

She felt as if she had touched the edge of success, and stared at the wooden circle more vigorously.

"Do you have any grudge against that wooden circle?" Laurie asked amusedly as she watched her stare at the wooden circle.

"There is now, and it will be gone soon." After Qiu answered this question, he didn't say another word. He kept the posture of fixing the wooden circle, and once again began to imagine that every part of his body was filled into the wooden circle. The oppressive feeling appeared again, she turned around and tried to stay calm...

With a snap, she appeared in the wooden circle.

Qiu looked at his limbs, touched his head, and found that no part was left outside the wooden circle, and his hair did not decrease significantly.

Laurie was bored watching Qiu compete with the wooden circle, but unexpectedly she appeared in the wooden circle in the blink of an eye.

"You succeeded?" Laurie looked at Cho in surprise.

"It seems so." Qiu checked his whole body again, making sure that no part of his body was missing. "Now I have no enmity with that wooden circle."

Tycross also actively joined in, and a month later, this is still the first successful student.He also checks on Cho to make sure that her Apparation was very successful this time.

"Tell me your secret." Laurie came closer. "I didn't feel anything when I was spinning around."

Although Qiu tried a few times later without complete success, the successful Apparition still filled her heart with joy.

At the long table in Ravenclaw, just as Qiu was enjoying Hogwarts lunch contentedly, Luna sat beside her.

Her protruding silver-gray eyes stared straight at Qiu, which made Qiu feel hairy.

"I feel the bad smell," she said, staring quietly at Qiu who was eating. "It's all around you. Your mold is leaking."

"Moldy?"

"It's an aura from people who are about to be unlucky," Luna said earnestly. "Be careful these days, Qiu, if the bad luck is too strong, it will explode."

Qiu, who was chewing beef, watched Luna go away blankly.

Is she going to be unlucky recently?

In the kitchen at night, Cho observed her potions.

Harry is at the DA meeting again tonight, and they've been learning the Patronus Charm lately.Harry is optimistic that all DA members will learn the Patronus Charm under his tutelage.

The liquid in the crucible had turned golden.Qiu felt that this pot of potion was like a large pile of melted Galleons. With reference to the price of the potion, there was nothing wrong with her thinking.

The most critical moment was coming soon, she lit the flame under the cauldron with her wand, the red flame rose up, and she could feel the heat from the flame on her face.The Felicia in the cauldron boiled up, sending goldfish jumping one after another, like a pile of gold leaf being shaken constantly.

"What are you doing here?" A male voice came from the kitchen door, so frightened that she almost threw her face into the cauldron.

She turned nervously, only to find that it was Malik, a Slytherin student in her year.On his black robes, a silver insignia shines.

"Preparation of potion." She blocked the cauldron behind her and looked at the member of the investigation team with vigilance. "There is no school rule saying that students are not allowed to practice brewing potion in private."

"No." Malik approached slowly, holding his wand, "but I think your potion is dangerous, maybe you want to use it on other students."

He wanted to poke his head out to see what potion she was boiling, but she sensed his intentions and shifted her steps, keeping the cauldron behind her again.

"I need to check your potion." He pointed arrogantly to the badge on his chest, "The investigative operations team has the right to do so."

"You don't have the right to pry into other people's privacy." She felt the steaming heat behind her, the golden liquid rolled more and more violently, and the gurgling sound was very clear in the confrontation between the two.

"But we have the right to investigate anything that might have a negative impact on Hogwarts students," Malik said.

"Such as The Quibbler?" she asked, anxiously aware that it was almost time for the final processing of the potion, and if this time was missed, the potion would be for naught.

"Yes," Malik replied, "so I have to see what potion you're brewing and confiscate it."

"Give it to Umbridge after confiscating it?" She continued to ask, the hand holding the wand moved quietly to her side.

"It's Professor Umbridge," Malik corrected, walking towards her with his wand in hand. "Now don't waste time, the famous Potter's girlfriend."

A few steps away from her, Malik suddenly fell down, and Qiu seized the time to cast a spell on the Felixempra that seemed to be about to overflow: "Felixempra!"

The rolling golden liquid began to calm down slowly, and she carefully poured the potion that took nearly a hundred gold Galleons and six months into the bottle, and sealed it carefully.

The kitchen door was opened again, and Harry stretched his head out to look around the entire kitchen, heaved a sigh of relief, and walked in with confidence.

What greeted him was his girlfriend's wand and a fainting blow. He fell straight down with a face full of surprise, and the back of his head hit the floor with a loud sound.

Qiu looked at the fallen boyfriend, was startled, and immediately ran over distressed.

"Recover quickly."

Harry opened his eyes, and she put a finger in front of his eyes: "How much is this?"

"Three." Harry replied.

"It's over, I fell stupid." She said, "Do you want to get another boyfriend?"

"No." Harry replied, reaching out his hand to touch the back of his head and found a big lump, "You have to be responsible for him."

"Then how should I be responsible?" She asked while checking the injury.

"Then take care of him for the rest of his life." Harry felt her cast a spell on the back of his head, and the pain eased instantly. "What happened to Malik? I was using the Marauder's Map to see if the DA members had returned to the dormitory, but I didn't expect to see his name appear in the kitchen."

"A member of the investigative action team." Qiu pointed to the badge on the chest of the unconscious Malik, "I stunned him with a silent stun spell."

"And what if he wakes up?" Harry asked. "He'll definitely report to that toad."

"...I don't know." She replied honestly, "I have never learned it and forget it. If I knew it would be used today, I would have practiced this spell in advance."

Harry and Qiu looked bitterly at Malik lying unconscious on the ground, hoping that he would forget all about the potion after he fell to the ground.

"Even if Umbridge puts him in confinement, I won't regret knocking him out." She sighed faintly, "That's a hundred Galleons."

At breakfast the next day, she saw Umbridge walking towards her on short, corgi-like legs, and said in a girly voice, "At eight o'clock tonight, I hope you can come to my office Come on, explain what happened in the kitchen last night, Miss Zhang."

Qiu watched her go, then looked at Luna who was eating breakfast at the long table.

"Do you think my bad luck is still leaking?" She rushed to Luna and asked her.

"It's not leaking." Luna replied seriously, pointing to Umbridge, "Her leaks, and the concentration is very high."

Luna looked at Umbridge carefully again, and finally asserted: "I think it's going to explode."
