Chapter 137
Just then, a strange "thump thump thump" sound came from behind them.
Su Xingchen calmly put her hands back into her pockets. Her hands were shaking, and she didn't want anyone to notice.
The technique of concentrating the mind and calming the spirit is not so easy to use. It consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy to soothe a person's soul. At least it is very difficult for a newbie like her.
She herself was not proficient in the Concentrating Charm, otherwise she would not have transferred her spiritual power only to Harry in the first year. She was completely afraid that she would not be able to defeat the residual soul of Voldemort in his body and would be devoured by it.
Although my cultivation has not improved much in the past few years, I have been able to practice and consolidate the techniques I have learned.
It was also because Neville was very weak, even weaker than her, and was simply frightened that he wanted to give it a try.
This child is also unlucky. Su Xingchen felt that her sudden act of boundless love probably came from the mutual sympathy between the two unlucky people.
Professor Moody limped towards this side. Everyone was silent and looked at him with some fear.
"It's all right, kid," Moody began, addressing Neville.
Although his voice was gruff, it was much deeper and softer than before. "Would you mind coming to my office? We could... have some tea together."
Neville seemed even more frightened at the thought of having tea with Moody. He didn't move or speak.
Moody's fake eye turned to Harry. "Are you all right, Potter?"
"It's okay," Harry replied, a little defiantly.
Moody's blue eyes studied Harry. "Although this may be a little harsh, you must understand. There's no need to hide it. Now, Longbottom, I have a few books that might interest you."
Neville looked pleadingly at Harry, Hermione and Ron, but none of them said anything.
He turned his gaze to Su Xingchen, who had just helped him.
Why are you looking at her? I can't help you this time, just take the book. Su Xingchen pretended to look away casually.
Moody placed a large, rough hand on Neville's shoulder, and Neville had no choice but to follow Moody.
"What does this mean?" Ron asked as he watched them turn the corner.
"I don't know." Hermione looked worried.
Harry looked unhappy as they made their way to the Great Hall.
"What's wrong, Harry?" Su Xingchen touched his arm.
He didn't seem to like Moody that much. He didn't know whether he was sensitive about this fake guy or simply didn't like the way he taught.
After all, Moody specifically pointed out in class that Harry was the only person who survived the Avada Kedavra curse, which made everyone's attention focus on him again.
"You shouldn't do this." Harry's tone was rarely accusatory.
Su Xingchen blinked, and her long curly eyelashes fluttered. What was she doing?
"Just now, about Neville." Harry said again.
Su Xingchen was puzzled. Given Harry's personality, it was impossible for her to object to helping Neville.
Hermione and Ron looked at each other.
Hermione tried to ease the strange atmosphere, "Xingchen, I think Harry means that we should be cautious. Didn't you say you didn't want anyone to know?"
"Yeah, that scared me," Ron said quickly.
Su Xingchen remembered that in her first year she had told the other three that she didn't want others to know that she could cast spells without a wand.
If that's the case, I was indeed impulsive just now.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, her round little eyes curved into crescents, and she said in a light tone: "I know, I will pay attention next time."
Seeing Su Xingchen's smiling face, Harry suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled it out of her robe pocket.
"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed. She had never seen Harry so rude before, and he was being so rude to the person she thought was the most unlikely.
The two people who were still shocked by his actions also discovered the problem at the same time.
The hand that was forced to be raised in the air was shaking, and the collision between the porcelain-white skin and the black school uniform made the shaking extremely eye-catching.
Su Xingchen felt inexplicably guilty. "Well, this is my first time using this spell, so it's normal to have some aftereffects. It should be gone after a while."
Seeing that she was still so nonchalant, Harry felt anger rising, let go of her hand and walked away.
Su Xingchen rubbed the place where he was scratched. As the child grew up, his temper also became worse.
Hermione and Ron looked at each other again.
"Just now?" Hermione was worried. "Let's go check on Madam Pomfrey."
"It's a small problem." Su Xingchen smiled, "You guys eat first, I'll go and coax him."
Harry was very angry and walked briskly with a stern face. If he had worn a long cloak, he would have looked just like Professor Snape.
He knew more secrets about the stars than Ron and Hermione.
His intuition told him that this was not the right thing to do. She should not use those seemingly mysterious magics so easily. That was why he became furious when he saw her nonchalant look.
But Harry also knew that he could never control her, so he could only walk away.
Su Xingchen jogged over to catch up, and the two walked side by side.
She leaned over and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Harry said nothing and continued walking.
He couldn't speak because he knew he would be soft-hearted and she wouldn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
Harry felt someone tugging at his sleeve, but ignored it.
Su Xingchen was full of questions. She was really confused. Although she was worried about her, she shouldn't be so angry, right?
"Harry, it's really okay. This is just my first time using it. Once you get used to it, you can use it to help with your headache too."
Harry stopped abruptly, his emerald green eyes fixed on her, captivating her.
"If that's the case, I'd rather not have your help."
Su Xingchen was a little at a loss for a moment. She never thought that the child she had watched grow up would one day give her such a compelling look.
Seeing her like this, Harry couldn't help but soften his expression, "Xingchen, I just don't want you to get hurt."
After a moment, Su Xingchen came back to her senses, lowered her head and smiled.
Suddenly, she felt the emotion of "my son has grown up", and at the same time, she also noticed that the thin and pitiful little boy in her heart has now grown taller than her, but she had not noticed it because they had been together for a long time.
Harry couldn't see her expression and immediately felt annoyed at his harsh words.
He opened his mouth to explain, but he was too clumsy to know how to start.
Su Xingchen raised his head, and his sparkling little deer eyes became even brighter.
She took the opportunity to rub Harry's head, smiling, "You underestimate me. This is just a spell to calm the mind. It has no effect on me. What you worry about will not happen."
"Xingchen, stop it." Harry had no choice but to grab the troublesome hand, and his already unruly hair became even more messy.
He knew very well that Su Xingchen was avoiding the main point, but he only gathered his strength and exploded at that moment.
Later on, he became Harry who was helpless against her.
"But I feel..."
"What do you mean by feeling?" Su Xingchen interrupted him. "Can you know better than me, the person involved?"
We must never let him feel that his skills are not up to par.
