HP: I am Cedric Diggory

Hogwarts.

Founded around 990 AD, it is one of the 11 known magic schools in the world and is considered one of the best institutions of magic in the magical world.

Hogwarts is inevitably quiet during the summer holidays.

But with Cedric's arrival, this silence was soon broken.

Early in the morning.

Cedric ran out of the common room, greeting everyone he met along the way.

He encountered him first.

It was Argus Filch, the caretaker.

"Hello, Mr. Filch. I'm Cedric, and I arrived early. If you need me to do anything, you can always call me!"

"I know you, just hope you can follow the school rules!"

Filch had bulging eyes like fish bubbles and held his cat named Mrs. Norris.

"Of course, I have thoroughly read [Hogwarts, A History]. I will strictly adhere to the school rules and never let you worry about it!"

Cedric finished.

A system notification sounded in his ears.

[Declaration: Advocate for following school rules: gain 100 experience points]

His smile became more pronounced.

As long as it earns him experience points, it doesn't matter if you are a lifeless eye or not, you are his good friend.

He received a reward.

Naturally, there was a bit more sincerity in his smile.

Looking at the sunny and cheerful boy, even the lifeless Filch was stunned.

He had been at Hogwarts for a long time.

This was the first time he felt the unreserved kindness of a young wizard.

Children don't lie.

With Filch's terrifying appearance as the castle's guardian, it was almost impossible for new kids to like him.

And after the children were caught by him once or twice, their dislike for him increased significantly.

Over time.

He completely became the opposite of the little wizards.

How long had it been since he saw such sincere eyes?

"Alright then!"

Filch suddenly felt a bit guilty under Cedric's pure gaze.

It was as if a dark creature was suddenly released into the sunlight.

Filch unconsciously changed his attitude: "In the future, if you need anything, just come to me. Few people are more familiar with the school's affairs than I am!"

"Alright, goodbye, Mr. Filch!"

Cedric finished his experience points and left.

According to his experience, the same person will not gain experience points twice for the same reason in one day.

"Goodbye!"

Filch stared at Cedric's back until he disappeared.

Running around the corner of the corridor.

Suddenly, Cedric felt a chill approaching.

Looking.

Isn't this Professor Snape, the god of war of pure love at Hogwarts and a double agent?

When he read the novel, he initially hated him.

Only later, when he learned more about the truth, did he realize how moving his story was.

Snape let out a low sigh, and the cold aura that accompanied him suddenly expanded outward.

He is a sensitive and delicate person, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to work as an undercover agent for the Dark Lord.

The complicated look in Cedric's eyes when he saw him was immediately noticed by Snape!

"Sorry, Professor Snape!"

Cedric quickly adjusted and generously introduced himself:

"Hello, Professor. I'm Cedric, and I arrived early. I know you're good at Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Charms, and Occlumency. I look forward to receiving your guidance!"

Snape silently looked Cedric up and down.

Not noticing any discomfort, he said very proudly:

"Then you must not be the kind of fool I often encounter!"

"I don't consider myself a fool. Besides, I already studied Potions in the first grade."

"Including [One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi]!"

Seeing Cedric's confident look.

Snape directly asked, "What will be the result if powdered daffodil root is added to wormwood infusion?"

"You will get the Water of Life and Death, which is a powerful sleeping potion!"

"Where can I find a bezoar?"

"A sort of solid substance in a cow's stomach!"

After two questions.

Snape suddenly increased the difficulty level:

"Tell me the recipe for the healing potion!"

"Two wormwood plants, 10 grams of unicorn tail hair, and 10 grams of white grass."

Cedric was calm and composed.

Even though he couldn't use a wand yet.

But before arriving at Hogwarts, he had started self-studying from a very young age. It can be said that no problem during the third grade could affect him.

"Very well!"

Snape nodded in satisfaction.

These two questions were no longer within the scope of [One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi], but within the more difficult textbook [Magical Drafts and Potions].

Being able to respond in seconds.

Obviously, Cedric's self-study was very solid.

In this case.

His earlier report contained elements of modesty. He was intelligent but modest. He was a student Snape liked very much.

"You can come to me if you have any questions, but remember, don't ask me stupid questions!"

[Congratulations on passing Professor Snape's test: gain 1000 experience points]

Surely a key person has a lot of experience!

The reward was actually ten times more than the others, and Cedric suddenly felt happy.

It's almost half of what he earned during those years at home.

No reward was triggered at Professor McGonagall's before, probably because he had applied for early admission.

But now it's just students asking professors for advice.

This is what students are supposed to do.

Only behaviors that are not mixed with other interests or purposes can generate rewards!

Cedric seemed to understand better how the system worked.

Along with the excellent harvest he had just obtained, his mood suddenly improved a bit.

Cedric patted his chest confidently.

"Don't worry, Professor Snape, I'll make you proud!"

"Confidence is quite good!"

Although this did not change the essence of his ancient and cold aura, it seemed as if sunlight shone into the well at that moment.

Although it didn't dispel the cold.

After all, it brought more light and became different!

In just one day.

All the professors at Hogwarts knew that there was a cheerful and sunny boy named Cedric in the castle!

Naturally, Dumbledore was alerted.
