Cultivating Love
Chapter 10
The next day, Xiu ran back to Slytherin's Rest and saw the little golden head curled up on the sofa, neatly dressed and covered with a blanket.
Even Celie walked quietly, as if she was afraid of waking him up.
Xiu asked for a glass of milk from the house elf and put it on the table in front of the sofa. Seeing that she was so worried about him, Xiu felt that she should have a good dream.
Sure enough, when he came back from the shower, he heard Draco shouting in the lounge to let the house elf Raquila take the milk back. Seeing Xiu come back, Draco immediately shouted, "You can drink if you want, don't always take me, I'm not a child!"
Raquila, who was still holding a glass of milk, watched the two arguing and laughing, but didn't say anything.
To some extent, she was the exclusive nanny of Xiu and Draco, and the two didn't have any scruples in front of her.
Xiu still remembered that she stood up when Draco was in charge of the four house elves who were responsible for washing his clothes.
She was wearing the same ragged sack as all the other house elves, but she was very clean and neat, without a single wrinkle.
She handed the washed clothes to Draco again and again. After being criticized for the heavy smell of spices, the bad gloss, and the old-fashioned way of folding, he frowned and said, "Not bad."
Since then, Raquila was responsible for Draco's clothes.
It slowly developed to the point where she took care of all aspects.
Now, even Xiu was taken care of.
She had changed from a house elf to a house elf that belonged to the two of them. However, no one would say anything about it since Draco was always talking about his father, who was the chairman of the school board.
To some extent, Xiu admired her.
Even if it's a small thing, if it doesn't work this time, I'll try again next time, until I succeed, nothing can stop me.
Celie, who was nestled in Xiu's arms, fell to the empty half of the sofa and landed smoothly. Xiu laughed heartily. "Okay, okay, my powerful monster." It was still the usual style of fighting and quarreling. Unlucky monsters and whatnot, quickly disperse.
Seeing this, Raquila handed the milk to Xiu, looked at the two, bowed, and snapped her fingers.
Xiu put the milk on the table and lay down on the sofa. He accidentally pressed down on White Dumpling, which made her meow angrily.
He quickly stepped aside before speaking to Draco. "Are you free on Saturday afternoon?
I want to get my hair cut. They're too long. "
Draco comforted Celie, who was still fuming, with one hand and rubbed Xiu's hair with the other. "Is your sense of beauty stuck at the age of five, just like your IQ?
They're not long at all. They're just right. Your hair was too short when you started school. "
Xiu rolled his eyes and protected his hairstyle, saying in his heart, you just can't get along with Milk.
However, Draco happened to see it. He immediately made a fuss as if he had discovered a new continent. "What did I just see?
Mr. Spensee, did you just roll your eyes?
Oh, looks like your aristocratic etiquette has gone down the drain along with the milk! "
"Stop, stop, stop. For the sake of Merlin, let go of the milk, my dear Draco." Xiu made a stop gesture and said.
At this time, Pansy just got up and came to the lounge. "Good morning, sweethearts. It's a lively day, isn't it?
You can be heard in the corridor. "
Draco gave Alpha Ursae a "Spare your life" look and changed his tone into a lazy one. "Good morning, Pansy." Xiu resisted the urge to roll his eyes again. "Good morning, dear."
However, Pansy didn't seem to have rested well. There were obvious dark circles under her eyes. Xiu guessed that the monster incident yesterday had scared Pansy.
Xiu handed the milk on the table to Pansy. "Dear, drink a glass of milk to calm your nerves."
Before Pansy could do anything, Draco, who had always treated milk as a muddy water beast, turned his head and snorted.
Pansy looked at the glass of milk and realized that even the cats on the Slytherin Long Table knew that Xiu loved to drink milk and always wanted to recommend it to Draco.
She waved her hand at Xiu. "Oh, dear, I don't think it's necessary.
It's just that I put on the mask late last night, you know. "She got up and left for the auditorium for breakfast.
With a long sigh, Xiu finished the glass of milk himself. "I thought Pansy with her baby voice would like milk. What a pity."
Draco put Celie in Xiu's hand. "Come on, don't act like an old child who needs to drink milk on time.
Swear to the Merlin, that's really silly. "Then he lifted his leg and walked out.
"I lost to you." Xiu put Celie down and went to the auditorium with Draco, who was waiting for him at the corner. "For the sake of the Merlin, I think it's a healthy eating habit."
Draco was amused by Xiu's resentful look. He held back his laughter and pinched Xiu. "Your dear Draco doesn't care if it's a habit or not. Shut up, Xiu. Don't talk about milk."
"For the sake of the Merlin."
Xiu curled his lips and admitted defeat. "I'll wait for you to come and apologize to me after you understand my good intentions, Draco."
The two people talked and laughed as they came to the auditorium. Seeing Draco immersing himself in solving Sudoku problems, Xiu put aside the strange monster incident and rubbed his head to study by himself.
This scene appeared countless times in Pan Xi's dreams in the following days.
There was still the aroma of breakfast around, and Xiu drank half a cup of milk.
The two people did their own things and had nothing to do with each other, but it made people feel that there was no way to get between them.
Speaking of which, the two people could be so familiar with each other now was not without reason.
Whether it was their complementary personalities, equally matched abilities, or their daily habits (except for milk), it was a pity that the two people could not be friends.
After all, if there was one person in Snake Courtyard who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Prince Draco of Slytherin, then it would be Xiu, who was disliked by him and protected by him.
No one would understand better than the children of the Snake Courtyard's big family, "If one stands alone, one will be lonely in the end."
Meeting each other was truly a stroke of luck for Xiu and Draco that could only be encountered by chance.
During self-study, the two people did their own things.
Slytherin was always ridiculed by the students of the other three courtyards for being arrogant and looking down on others. In fact, it was because Slytherin's little snakes were really excellent.
At least their average grades could leave Ravenclaw behind, not to mention the other two courtyards.
When the auditorium gradually became more and more people, the two people tacitly closed their books at the same time. "Hey, today is the Quidditch competition between us and Gryffindor!
Don't tell me you're really not going! "
Xiu's little golden head shook because of excitement. He had liked Quidditch since he was a child, but unfortunately, Quidditch team did not recruit first-year students, if you ignored Harry Potter, who was sent by him.
Xiu believed that Draco would join the Slytherin Quidditch team in the first year. If Harry was the first to join the team in the first year, then the first to be allowed to train with them in the first year was Draco.
It was a kind of passion that Xiu could not quench, because although his flying skill was excellent, he had no preference for Quidditch.
"I have no interest in this kind of competition where the rules are broken at any time."
Alpha Ursae's lack of interest made Draco angry. He pulled his arm and shook it, "You really don't know how to appreciate Merlin's socks.
I don't care, you have to go. "
Xiu waved his hand, "I only said that I have no interest, dear. It's Harry's first time on the field. Although I can't cheer for him because of my position, I still have to watch."
When Draco heard that it was actually for Harry, he pulled Xiu's face and cursed, "Damn it."
"Listen, don't flirt with the silly Potter. Don't think I didn't see your little eyes and the little notes flying everywhere!"
Draco was angry, and Xiu had no choice but to quickly save his face from his claws. In the end, he stood obediently on Slytherin's seat and waved the silver-green flag.
The auditorium was very lively. Although Xiu didn't like Quidditch, he liked to join in the fun, even if he didn't understand it very well.
Gryffindor Quidditch's captain, Wood, who was about to fall, threw an armor to protect himself. Sure enough, Wood fell down in a few seconds.
Xiu immediately rolled his eyes and said in his heart, "Poison milk!" Then he turned to look at his friend, Harry.
Compared to the flying lesson, Harry's new broom seemed to be a little irritable. It was the latest model of broom that Harry received at breakfast time, and it was said that a group of people were envious at that time.
Unfortunately, Draco and Xiu had already gone to the classroom early and didn't see it. If they had seen it, Xiu believed that the proud golden head's expression would have been very interesting.
Later, Xiu heard Harry mention that the new broom was a gift from Professor Mcgonagall.
And the lovely and kind Professor Mcgonagall used to be the main force of Gryffindor's team, so he didn't mention it.
"Are all high-end goods so useless now?"
Alpha Ursae said to himself while casting an armor to protect Harry, who was about to fall, and then used a levitation spell to support Harry as much as possible.
Quidditch was a dangerous sport from its birth. Not only was it prevalent in fouls, but it also grew up with injuries.
This was one of the reasons why Xiu didn't like Quidditch.
Fortunately, Harry adjusted his state in time and successfully caught the Golden Snitch in the midst of danger. He was a genius!
Xiu said in his heart, "Well done!" and then looked at Draco, ready to rush to put out the fire at any time.
Just as Mrs. Huo Qi announced the end of the game, Slytherin's auditorium booed loudly. Draco immediately broke the support flag in his hand and waved it fiercely in the air. His face was red with anger.
