15 Chapter - 14 Pedophile Cedric
Generally speaking, the beauty standards of humans vary greatly from each country, like American men like thick black women, where
As the Indian men like the Russian or white beauty, with blond hair and blue eyes.
Or how the Indian girls like Korean men.
It's just not like they are more beautiful or ugly, but the fact that they are exotic, which adds another charm for people of other ethnic cultures.
The same is true for the difference between the European and the Chinese.
For example, Cho Chang.
Obviously, Cedric thinks she is beautiful, exotic, with her double ponytails, loli look, and her pale skin, well she is indeed beautiful.
But for the Asians she will most likely be 7, and william who has seen K-pop idol group, well with that comparison he founds Cho average, don't get him wrong though Cho is 11 year old and compared to Lisa, Jenny and others you get the point.
Cedric was holding the Comatose bunny, like a nurse, who was gkind to give mouth to mouth to the rabbit for it to wake up.
But he didn't thankfully " Don't worry it just fainted because of the scare, seeing it's predators toothy grin will be very frightening."
William breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the rabbit didn't die.
Otherwise Cedric would have killed him, to get in Cho's good books.
The moral of the story,don't keep rabbits as your pet in a school where people the most chosen pets of others are owls or cats. It just has too low of a standing in animal tree, maybe a little bit higher than a mouse.
The only thing the nature gave to the rabbits is their abysmal sex drive, the partners just go at it uncountable time in a single day.
Seeing that her rabbit just fainted and wasn't dead, Cho took a sigh of relief,and snorted coldly, and ignored the boys.
This made Cedric, who was gonna suggest something feel very awkward.
He shot William a glance, hoping his friend would play along and help create some chances.
William rolled his eyes, thinking that wooing girls was a skill—one he didn't quite possess. If he had that skill, he wouldn't have been single in his past life, he pondered with a smirk.
Silent, yet expressive, he shot Cedric a meaningful glance that said, "Hey buddy, act like I'm not here and go ahead with whatever you want! No need to hold back!"
Cedric was left speechless and shot back a sharp glare, retorting, "Why not just stroll into Azkaban and let a dementor kill you off?"
William exclaimed, "I encouraged you to pursue boldly, not to get involved in activities that break the Criminal and Wizarding Laws!"
"Cedric, what were you trying to achieve just now? You'll end up getting arrested in Azkaban!"
Cedric coughed, breaking eye contact abruptly.
William glanced at Cho,the girl was still playfully teasing her little rabbit, unaware that she had just narrowly avoided a major crisis with a pedophile.
William grabbed the spell book, shielding his face as he attempted to conceal his presence.
Meanwhile, Cedric sighed deeply, reluctantly retrieving Ollivander's notebook from his pocket.
A heavy silence enveloped the entire carriage as everyone immersed themselves in their reading, creating an oddly eerie atmosphere.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the door creaked open once more.
The twins and a black boy with dreadlocks. Were on the other side of the gate.
"Oh, sorry, we got into the wrong carriage," Fred apologized, moving to shut the door.
However, George intercepted his hand. "Nope, we're in the right place."
Fred feigned surprise. "With this atmosphere, I thought I'd wandered into the library!"
Fred took a seat beside Cedric, while George and the black boy settled in Cho's row.
"Come on, brothers, we're on the Hogwarts Express now, and studying can wait until two weeks before the exams... William, what book is that you're reading—"
"— 'Standard Spells for second year wizards'? Are you mad, or do you intend to skip straight to 2nd year."
George swiftly grabbed William's book, prompting Fred to rise and cautiously peer out the window before drawing the curtain shut.
Meanwhile, Cho, squeezed into a corner, watched the sneaky individuals in front of her with a perplexed expression.
George rapped on the table, lowering his voice to a serious tone. "We need to plan for the summer break. Fred and I reached out to wizards of all years, compiled there homework solutions into a booklet, and will sell them in batches."
William nodded knowingly; he was already aware of this.
The twins wantinh to borrow Cedric's homework. Initially hesitant, Cedric eventually relented under William's persuasion, albeit reluctantly.
Naturally, the twins had to pay a fee for the borrowed work, and William, being the persuader, naturally received his share.
However, instead of keeping the money, he deposited it with the twins as investment funds.
A concept known as expanded reproduction, a form of primitive capital accumulation.
Fred assumed a serious expression. "This being our first venture of this kind, in order to expand our market across all years and to establish a good reputation, George and I have adhered to the policy of inspecting the goods before payment."
"Today was meant to be the deadline for fees, yet there's a small group of students unwilling to pay!"
The black boy scratched his backside, then extended a hand to scratch his face, feeling a flush of embarrassment. He couldn't shake off the feeling that the twin brothers' remarks were insinuating—no, outright stating—something about him.
He was among those few who hadn't paid up!
The black boy slammed his hand on the table in frustration. "These folks are way out of line! I'll make sure we get that money back!"
"Lee, calm down," Fred cautioned, quickly glancing out the window. "Make sure that no prefect gets involved."
George chimed in, "This money's meant for our hard-earned summer break. We can't let them off the hook."
"So, what's the plan? Let's take swift action and teach them a lesson!" Lee Jordan exclaimed passionately, sounding almost like an impulsive, hot-blooded youth.
The rabbit, just roused from slumber, was startled and promptly fainted once more.
Cho shot Lee Jordan a fierce glare, giving him a look that could make anyone freeze.
Cedric noticed Cho's reaction. Sensing an opportunity to salvage his image, he prepared to stand up and voice his objection with conviction.
William intervened, gesturing with his hand. "We aren't Gryffindor students, so this fee... you understand!"
"William, we're good friends, right?" George placed his right hand on William's shoulder.
"Let's not delve into emotions," William replied curtly.
Following a fruitful discussion, the twins agreed to hire William and Cedric, the payment settled at the price of two cups of Zizzi Bees each.
Zizzi Bee Candy, a delicious honey jelly potioned candy, possessed the ability to make individuals float in the air if consumed. It was exclusively available at the Honeydukes Candy Store in Hogsmeade.
During summer break, Hagrid had sent some to William, albeit most were devoured by Annie. Nonetheless, the ones he had tasted were undeniably delicious.
Lee Jordan couldn't afford to pay for his homework, so he chose to work and clear his debt—a true problem solver.
"What's our goal?" William asked.
"We're aiming for a bunch of Slytherin students," George said casually, as if comparing them to some unpleasant caterpillars.
"Those Slytherins are pure evil," Lee Jordan grumbled through gritted teeth.
William was already told about the ongoing tension between Gryffindor and Slytherin houses by Cedric.
Hence, he had every reason to suspect that the twins might have changed the answers to Slytherin students, potentially stirring trouble with them.
It's possible the Slytherin students have a point, there might indeed be an issue with the answers provided!
However, George and Fred operated on the principle of making money and taking advantage of others... If the other side was willing to pay, that was great!
It didn't matter much, If there was an issue with the answers given to the Slytherin students. They could still pull a prank on them and get their worth of fun.
William suddenly felt his reward was insufficient—just two cups of Zizzi Bee Candy? He'd hoped for at least two buckets instead, if he knew it from the start.
