It was because she didn't tell Hermione in advance, so there was no reason for Hermione to be considerate of her.

He could only apologize to Hermione afterwards.

From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and was about to leave after eating. She quickly drank all the milk in one gulp, and then stood up immediately.

"By the way, Pansy," before chasing after her, she still turned around to remind him, "What I told you just now, don't play rumors."

At most, she figured, Pansy would tell Malfoy.

In this way, the week-long quarrel with Malfoy should also be over.

She didn't have to quarrel with Malfoy this week, it was just to strengthen her bad temper after being affected by the Horcrux.

After today, there should be no need to waste words.

She wiped her mouth, and quickly followed to the stadium, seeing Gryffindor and Slytherin quarreling outside the stadium as expected, led by the captains of the two teams.

"Flint!" Wood yelled at the Slytherin captain. "It's our training time! We've booked the pitch! Get out, please!"

"Oh," said Flint, "but I have a note signed by Professor Snape.

I, Professor Cy Snape, have allowed the Slytherins to train on the Quidditch pitch today, to train their new Seekers. "

"You added a new Seeker?" Wood's attention was diverted, "Where is it?"

Malfoy stepped out from behind the six tall players, a smug smile on his pale little face.

Compared with them, she looked very petite.

However, compared with her, it is obvious that the brand-new Nimbus 2001 held by the seven of them is more eye-catching.

All eyes could not help but be drawn to the seven latest model brooms.

"So what?" Ron gritted his teeth and said unconvinced, "There is no player in Gryffindor who got into the team by spending money."

Malfoy's complexion changed. She was already in a bad mood by Kate for the past few days. The key is that Kate said she was fine, and this red-haired Weasley dared to provoke her!

"Is that so? I wonder how many years your father had to work in his clerkship before he could afford a broom-tail for this broom?"

| Ron's face turned red, he was so angry that he pulled out his repaired and damaged wand and pointed it at Malfoy: "You bastard!"

He wanted to cast the spell angrily, but in the next second, his wand was blown away and landed in the hand of Kate who followed.

Ron staggered and fell to the grass due to the strong impact, looking up at her in disbelief.

"Kate? What are you doing!" Hermione hurried over with Harry to help him up, and turned to look at Kate in disbelief.

Slytherin's captain, Flint, stood in front of Kate: "Safik is a member of our Slytherin, so naturally he is helping Slytherin."

Hermione stood up stubbornly and looked directly at her: "Kate, come out by yourself and apologize to Ron!"

Seeing this, Malfoy couldn't help standing up and yelling at her: "Who do you think you are? You're just a Muggle-born wizard..."

"That's enough, Malfoy." Kate took the initiative to interrupt her.

She glanced at the wand in her hand that belonged to Ron but was so dilapidated that even the inner core was exposed, and barely connected the wand with a repairing spell.

When handing Hermione her wand, she gently pulled him closer and whispered something in his ear.

Soon, she saw a slight change in Hermione's face.

"...Ron, let's go." Hermione gave her a complicated look, and helped Ron up together with Harry with difficulty, and the group left the field in a rather embarrassed state.

Seeing Kate facing him for the first time, Malfoy was in such a happy mood at the moment, he even forgot that she was ridiculed by Kate a few nights ago.

"Hey, Safik," she yelled at Kate, throwing her head up, "stay and watch us practice!"

She will definitely perform well in front of Kate and let her see how superb her skills are.

"No," Kate withdrew her wand, and calmly refused, "I still have homework to do, and I have to go to Professor Lockhart tonight to collect my punishment."

After all, she turned and walked out of the court without looking back.

Malfoy was taken aback for a moment, and the hand holding Nimbus 2001 couldn't help tightening.

"Captain," she suffocated, turned to Flint and said, "Hurry up and start training, we must beat Gryffindor to the ground this year!"

Flint laughed with relief: "Yes, beat them down!"

Chapter 10 Hermione's Apology

Gryffindor lounge.

"I can't believe that Kate will actually do something to us!" Ron said exaggeratedly, clutching his stomach.

Harry was also very at a loss. He sat on a chair with his broom in his arms: "No, Kate won't do anything to us for no reason."

And even his broom was given by Kate!

"What the hell did she tell you just now, Hermione?" he couldn't help asking anxiously.

At this moment, Hermione was obviously a little absent-minded, and she didn't come back to look at Ron until she heard his question: "Does your stomach still hurt?"

Ron rubbed and forced a smile: "Actually, it doesn't hurt that much, but everything happened too fast just now, and I didn't have time to react."

"I just said...she wouldn't do such a thing."

Hermione felt relieved and took his wand out of her pocket and handed it over.

"Just now Kate told me that judging from the current level of wear and tear of this wand, if you cast a curse on Malfoy just now, it will most likely hit yourself back."

She didn't use any lethal spells on Ron, just a simple disarming spell.

At most... is that Kate's magic power is too strong, and it will inevitably affect Ron himself when using the spell.

However, compared to the backlash of the evil curse, the Disarming Curse is easier to come by.

Ron took the wand: "So this is actually her helping us? But isn't this helping a little bit more?"

"It's better than being hit by your own jinx," Harry reminded.

"That's right, I knew Kate wasn't that kind of person." Hermione's expression relaxed, and she paced up and down in the lounge.

She and Kate have been in a cold war these past few days, and someone has to take the initiative to bow their heads.

Since Kate helped them so much, why couldn't she take the initiative to find Kate and make up?

"She will go to Professor Lockhart for confinement tonight, and I will pick her up!" Hermione immediately made a decision.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, each seeing relief in the other's eyes.

God knows how much pressure the two of them will have to be around Hermione during the Cold War in the first week of school.

……

After dinner that night, Kate came to Lockhart's office as agreed.

This office was a room that had been repaired after Quirrell deliberately burned it down, so when Kate entered and saw countless frames of Lockhart hanging on the wall, she didn't have the impression that Catherine's room had been replaced.

But when she saw his signature on these photo frames and a pile of his photos on the table, she still couldn't stand it.

This guy was probably the most narcissistic person she had ever seen in two lifetimes.

"Student Shafik, you are here."

Lockhart still looked burnt, and straightened his collar in a pretentious manner: "The next two hours should be the most memorable two hours of your life, because I was with you when you were in confinement. on."

Kate pursed her lips, resisting the thought of punching him.

She wanted to create a phenomenon where she became very irritable due to the influence of the horcrux, but if it developed to hit the professor, there would be more troubles in the future.

Lockhart gave her a stack of envelopes and asked her to answer letters from admirers.

"Professor, why not use a magic quill that can reply automatically?" She looked at the stack of letters in front of her and asked bluntly.

Lockhart raised his eyebrows: "With such ghostwriting, how can I show my sincerity to fans?"

"Oh," Kate took the opportunity to push the letter in his direction, "Then I will write it on behalf of you, and it doesn't seem to show your sincerity. I think you should write these things yourself."

Lockhart choked on her, and could only put on a professorial air: "Student Shafik, please remember that you are here for confinement..."

"If it wasn't for a private conversation with you, why would I deliberately contradict you in class?"

Kate smiled slightly: "Professor, you also know that my surname is Safik?"

"Of course, this again..." Lockhart's face changed slightly before he finished speaking.

That's right, Safik, that family is one of the best in the wizarding world, with industries all over the British wizarding world.

Even the Lihen Bookstore, where he held the book signing, has the investment of the Safiq family.

In other words, this little girl was to a certain extent his patron father.

He put away the polite smile on his face, and his expression finally became serious, "Safik... No, Miss Safik, what exactly do you want to do when you find me?"

"Make money." Kate raised her eyebrows, "You have writing and a good story, and I have sales channels, we are a strong alliance.

I could have your book on the shelves of every bookstore in the wizarding world, every wizarding family with a copy of your book, and you would gain fame, and I could earn more Galleons. "

For someone with a reputation like Lockhart, his eyes lit up immediately when he heard that his book could be read by every household in the wizarding world.

He thought that Kate would not lie, and as the sole heir of the Safik family, there was no need for her to lie.

But he was wrong.

Kate was lying to him.

It's very simple, knowing that this guy is an idiot, and it is very likely that he will be exposed this year, signing a contract with the other party now is putting herself at an extraordinary risk.

She has no interest, and there is no need to help Lockhart maintain this false lie for the entire wizarding world,

But if the contract between them is only in the illusory negotiation stage throughout the year, then there is no risk.

If Lockhart is exposed, his book will also be unsalable due to the plummeting image, and she can use the reason that the contract has not been negotiated as an excuse to withdraw directly.

If he is the same as the original book, although he has amnesia, but his fame has not been affected by luck, and there are still many female fans who like him, then it will be easier.

At that time, she will use the marketing method of Lockhart, who has lost his memory but is still famous, to sell the book, using the excuse that he has negotiated a contract with him, and will directly pocket the money he earns, let alone take any risks.

Even though she made money from probability, and used it to bet on whether Lockhart would be ruined, that didn't matter.

Anyway, she just hates this idiot, and what happens to him in the end has no effect on her.

For a year, she used various details in the contract to procrastinate, so it was not a big problem.

The most important thing is... Holding this person right now can at least make him less annoying in front of him.

"Of course, these are conditional. If you can agree to my conditions, then the next cooperation will be easy."

She looked at Lockhart with ulterior motives, and she didn't look like an underage child at all.

This made Lockhart a little terrified for a while, but it wasn't until Kate handed over the paper with the conditions written on it that he suppressed a smile and relaxed his whole body.

His heart is almost full of happiness now, but he thought this child was a bit imposing just now, so he is still a child in essence.

In terms of business conditions, even the almost childish request of "stay away from Hermione Granger" can be raised.

Although there are a few more in the back, in his opinion, they are all pretty much the same, and it doesn't matter much.

From this point of view, the child probably came to him at the request of his family, and it should be her parents who really valued his commercial value.

And she herself just took the opportunity to make these requests.

It doesn't matter, as long as he can climb up to a backer like Shafik, his reputation in the wizarding world will definitely rise to a higher level.

"Don't worry," he said with a smile on his face, "I can do all of this, Miss Safik."

Kate raised her eyebrows lightly, stood up and said, "Tomorrow, an owl will send you a contract. If you have any unclear requirements, please contact me."

As she said that, she glanced at the sky outside which had not yet completely darkened: "Professor, is my confinement over?"

Lockhart was taken aback, glanced at the untouched envelopes on his table, twitched, and hurriedly said: "Of course it's over, do you need me to take you back to the dormitory?"

"No need." Kate gave him a disgusted look, and left the office straight away.

Originally, she was quite happy to poke Lockhart secretly, but as soon as she went out, she saw Hermione was already standing on the edge of the corridor waiting.

It's so late, and you're still looking for Lockhart?

Seeing Hermione pacing nervously in the corridor from a distance, she obviously hadn't been angry with Hermione for a long time, but for some reason, she felt uncomfortable for a while.

Recalling the contemptuous look in that idiot's eyes when he thought he understood her just now, Kate wanted to laugh at the other party's ignorance.
