Cultivating Love
Chapter 12
The next day, when Xiu received the letter that surprised him, the two people's morning self-study was almost over. Draco, who was sitting next to him, pretended to be deep in thought as if he was reading the Daily Prophet, but in fact, he was thinking about Sudoku.
After Xiu finished reading, he was stunned on the spot. Draco did not get a response for a long time, so he looked up and was startled.
Why was Xiu so silly early in the morning? It was as if he had been petrified.
"Xiu?
Xiu, what's wrong with you? "He pushed Xiu to wake him up.
After being pushed, Xiu finally recovered from the shock. "Merlin!" He protected the letter in his arms. "I'm going to have an aunt!
Draco, can you believe it? Next summer, my uncle will get married! "
Draco was also surprised. "Oh, congratulations, Xiu." Xiu came up and gave him a bear hug. Draco, who was in his arms, foolishly hugged him back.
After hurriedly ending the hug, Xiu grabbed the quill and began to write the letter.
Draco estimated that there were at least three pieces of paper. It seemed that Xiu was really excited.
In fact, when they were sitting at the Slytherin Long Table for dinner, Draco corrected his words. Xiu was not excited, but excited!
This guy was so popular that he could eat in all four courtyards. God knows how many friends Xiu had shared this good news with in just one day.
If it wasn't for Xiu passing a small note to the lions during the potions class, Draco would not have found it strange that Xiu appeared at the Gryffindor Long Table during dinner time.
"Pansy, look at Xiu's stupid appearance. It's unbearable!" Draco complained to Pansy a little bitterly.
Pansy chuckled. "In fact, Xiu reminds me of my lifeless uncles.
I really envy Xiu. "
How come your father has brothers and sisters?
Draco had never heard Pansy talk about her elders. He loosened his tie irritably and sighed in his heart. "Merlin above, is there no normal person in Hogwarts?"
Before he could finish his praise, a familiar explosion came from Gryffindor's long table.
Draco's fork was still in the air when he heard Theodore say softly, "The ninth time."
Yes, it was the ninth time this month.
Although it was said to be an explosion, for some reason, whether it was in the classroom or on the long table, the explosion was well controlled. Only one person was unlucky.
Or could it be that he didn't control it well and allowed the explosion to happen?
Hearing the sound, everyone reacted and went over. If it was said that at the beginning, they were a little afraid that they would be implicated, but now they were used to it and didn't even feel the novelty of looking at it.
Draco turned his head and saw that the person who had been excited for the whole day was drinking milk again. The corner of his mouth was full of milk stains. He rolled his eyes at him in disgust and didn't want to talk to this guy.
However, what kind of person was Xiu? From such a supercilious look, he could roughly guess the reason. Right now, he had only drunk half of the milk, so he was too lazy to wipe it off. Instead, he smiled at him like a Draco.
Compared to October, the weather in November was gradually colder. After the rain, the cold air was oppressive, as if it was winter.
Xiu even took out the scarf that Celie had used to sleep on and put it on. Draco, who was still wearing his unlined clothes and acting cool, was very disdainful, although he had worn the same scarf a few days ago.
Jean Xiu couldn't help but recall the magic potion experiment last Sunday. Because he had never seen such a daring method of brewing, both of them failed the first time.
But when Draco succeeded the second time and Xiu failed again, this golden head immediately began to laugh at him.
Draco was originally such a rascal, Xiu thought.
Also because of the rain, the astronomy class, which was only held once a week, was also suspended. The students felt that it was a pity.
After all, Professor Sinister only talked about ancient Greek mythology in class. Why did he have to look at the weather?
Speaking of which, the story of this professor who was always drunk also had a bit of a tragic ancient Greek mythology.
More than ten years ago, when they first met in Hogwarts, Miss Slytherin secretly fell in love with the gentle doctor who already had a fiancee in the medical wing.
Her modesty and morality made this girl, who had just experienced her first awakening of love, swallow back her bitter tears, not revealing the slightest bit of her feelings.
Watching him get married and have children, watching him lose his lover, watching him indulge in alcohol, the girl said to her father, who loved her the most, "I want to marry him."
At that time, she was only fifteen years old, but she was confident that she could bring her lover out of the sea of suffering, confident that she could take good care of a delicate baby.
Her father aged several years overnight. In a fit of rage, he threatened to remove her name from the family name. The girl took a deep look at her haggard father, curtsied, and walked out of the house, losing her family name.
The girl was cruel to herself, but who knew that fate was even crueler to her.
Under her many years of companionship, the man who gradually came out of the shadows and the lovely young child were killed in a car accident.
At this point in the story, there was no turning point. This time, the one who indulged in alcohol was the girl, who was today's Professor Sinister.
When Shuu first heard Theodore tell this story, he sighed endlessly, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only sigh for the professor.
Draco, on the other hand, was not so emotional. Since there was no astronomy class at night, it was better to do something else.
When he told Shuu about his plan, the other side was not surprised at all. He even said, "In fact, I think it's not easy for you to be honest for these two months."
Of course, Draco was not stingy with his eyes. "Oh, Merlin.
Don't talk so much nonsense. Are you coming or not? "Shuu hit him with his hand." Of course! "
Without further ado, the two men got in advance the hair of the administrator Fei Qi and his cat, Madam Dorothy, who could swagger around the campus after curfew. After taking it with the compound medicine, they began their first night tour of the Hogwarts.
Because he disliked Fei Qi's fierce scarred face, Draco turned into Madam Dorothy. As long as he nestled comfortably in the arms of Fei Qi's version of Shuu, everything would be fine.
Seeing that Shuu was still wearing a watch after drinking the medicine, Draco was very disgusted. "Put away that silly watch. I'm here, you don't need a compass."
Although he wanted to ridicule him, "Don't you think it's weird for a cat to speak human language in the middle of the night?"
But considering that the fierce Fei Qi was indeed wearing a watch more than a little, he obediently took it off.
Anyway, if something really happens because of this, I certainly won't take the blame, Shuu thought.
The two men took the medicine by the Black Lake. After tidying up, they got out of the woods by the Black Lake and went straight upstairs, intending to take a look at the open secret room.
Originally, they didn't have to be so sneaky when going to this open secret base. However, because of Lucius's pressure, the old equipment had to be replaced and repaired, including the stairs from the seventh floor to the eighth floor where the room was located.
If Draco hadn't gotten the so-called complete version of the map of the Hogwarts from his father, they wouldn't have known that the stairs from the third floor, where students were forbidden to enter, could actually lead directly to the eighth floor.
One man and one cat walked up to the third floor, feeling very proud and elated. Even the occupant in the portrait didn't complain about being disturbed when he saw that it was Fei Qi. Apparently, he was already used to it.
But when Shuu took out his magic wand to open the door, a female voice whispered, "Isn't little Fei Qi a dud?
How can he cast a spell?
Oh, is my presbyopia serious again? "The two men were startled and felt that they knew something terrible.
Shuddering, they opened the door and found that there was another door at the end of the corridor in addition to the stairs.
Combined with the rule that students were forbidden to enter the third floor, the answer should be behind this door.
The cat version of Draco's curiosity wasn't so exuberant. One must know that curiosity killed the cat wasn't just a saying.
However, at this moment, the person holding him couldn't help but open the door.
It was too late to stop him. Draco scratched Alpha Ursae and jumped on his shoulder to see what was behind the door.
What was disappointing was that at first glance, there was only a gray three-headed giant dog sleeping inside.
They could see a secret door under the giant dog. It seemed that if they wanted to know the answer, they would have to go through this secret door.
With a soft cat paw, Fei Qi patted Shuu's bird's nest head, indicating that they should hurry up. The two then went up the stairs to the eighth floor.
If they just walked through the eighth floor, perhaps no one would think that there was another world on the other side of the tapestry of Barnabas.
In order to avoid entering by mistake, the user had to concentrate on the needed place and walk through the wall three times. Only then would a very smooth door appear on the wall leading to the room.
After walking back and forth three times, the mysterious door really appeared.
Shuu and Draco looked at each other and entered together.
In the middle of the room was a mirror with the words "Eris Magic Mirror". Shuu stood in front of the mirror but didn't see anything. He strangely let Draco take a look.
Draco, who was wagging his tail lazily, stood in front of the mirror and saw a handsome man with silver-gray eyes, short blond hair, and a smile that looked down on the world. All of these showed that the man and Draco were inextricably linked.
"This is?
Prophecy Mirror? "
Draco tilted his head and made a puzzled expression. Then, he said with an expression that said, "Hey, Shuu, do you want to see what I look like when I grow up? Tall, handsome, and handsome!"
The cat's tail was raised high. Shuu could imagine that when Draco said this sentence, his eyes must be bright and his little golden head must be shaking.
He wasn't tall, handsome, handsome, but cute.
Spreading out his hands, Shuu helplessly said that not only could he not see him, but he also couldn't see him.
Draco, who was visible to the naked eye, suddenly became serious. "Then it doesn't seem to be the Prophecy Mirror.
Don't worry about it. Look at the others. "
After that, Draco jumped to the shelf next to him. There was a small ceramic basin with a cartoon cat head printed on it. There was also clear water in the basin.
The cat stuck out his tongue and licked it. Then, he drank boldly. It seemed that he was really thirsty.
Shuu abandoned the mirror and stared at the painting hanging on the wall for a long time. After understanding it, he laughed. The painting was of a rabbit in the front and a man in the back. It was really funny.
