Cultivating Love

Chapter 5

Before dinner on Friday, the atmosphere in Slytherin's Rest was already very relaxed.

Xiu glanced around and didn't see the golden head. Just as he was about to find a place to sit down, a female voice jumped out, "Good evening, Xiu."

It was a cute little voice. Xiu didn't need to look to know who Pansy was.

She was the girl who sat on the right side of Draco at the Slytherin Long Table that day. Although she looked a bit beautiful to the point of being unapproachable, her little voice was really out of place.

"Good evening, Pansy.

What were you talking about just now? "Xiu naturally sat down next to the girl. After sitting down, he didn't forget to tidy up his clothes.

There were still red fireworks dancing in the fireplace. Xiu didn't know if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but Pansy seemed to be blushing.

Her blushing face was even cuter, Xiu thought.

Pansy subconsciously tidied up her hair and replied, "We were just talking about the autumn fashion show. You know, unless it's a holiday, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to go out of school to see it."

Hogwarts School was a boarding school. It was mandatory for students to stay in the dormitory, and students were only allowed to go home on certain holidays.

On holidays like weekends, students couldn't go home.

Speaking of this system, Xiu was really impressed.

When he was a child, he lived with his grandmother because his parents were too busy to take care of him. At that time, his uncle, who played games with him and did his homework for him, was still studying in Hogwarts. Although he wrote letters from time to time, he only went home on holidays.

Although this state only lasted for a year, it really made Xiu, who was bored to death at that time, complain for a long time.

"That's a pity. When is the next holiday?

Halloween? "Even if it was Halloween, it was still nearly two months away. Pansy nodded," If nothing unexpected happens, it'll be Halloween. "

Xiu wanted to say something more, but Draco had already tidied himself up and came to the lounge. Because he used the mucus of the catfish monster in his potions class, this particular young master came back to take a bath after class.

She waved at him. "Draco, we won't be home for another two months. Did you bring enough hair gel?" She was referring to a certain blonde with a slicked-back hairstyle.

Draco adjusted his tie and replied, "Did you leave your brain in the crucible of Potions class?

Do you think I won't buy it if it's not enough? "Only then did she realize that Xiu was making fun of her, so she unhappily glared at him.

Xiu and Pansy laughed at the same time.

Seeing this, Draco did not sit down on the sofa and ask Xiu if he wanted to have dinner together. He wanted to take this opportunity to escape from this embarrassing situation.

Xiu gave Pansy a look, asking if he wanted to be rejected by her. Then, he got up and walked out with Draco.

As they walked, they discussed their plans for the weekend. "Do you have any plans for the weekend?

Draco. "Draco seemed to be in a good mood." I think you're asking me out?

On Saturday morning, you'll participate in Quidditch's training, and on Sunday, you'll help godfather with his experiment. You can only pray that you'll arrange my time on Saturday afternoon. "

After waiting for a while, Draco did not wait for Xiu to ask anything. He could only say to himself, "In view of my excellent flying skills, although I can't enter Quidditch's team as a freshman, I've been given special permission to train with them.

Godfather has been developing a new type of Potion, and I'm helping him. Maybe you want to come?

Xiu? "

After asking a few questions, Draco did not get a response. He turned his head and found that the person who was originally sitting side by side with him was standing a little distance behind him. He did not know what he was looking at, but he was very focused.

He walked to Xiu's side and followed his line of sight. It was not a beautiful girl, nor was it a wonderful landscape. It seemed to be … it seemed to be a whacking willow?

Could one be so absorbed in looking at a whacking willow?

After being approached by Draco, Xiu woke up as if from a dream. He pointed to the whacking willow and asked Draco, "Why didn't we see the whacking willow two days ago?" They had taken this path from the lounge to the auditorium.

His mouth twitched. When did he, Draco, become less attractive than a whacking willow? "The whacking willow only appears at night and during the day when the weather is cool. Two days ago, it was too hot, so it was too lazy to come out."

He waved his hand in front of Xiu's eyes to make him come back to his senses, "Merlin above, isn't it just a whacking willow?

Don't act like you've seen too much! "

Slapping away Draco's hand, Xiu smiled, "I'm just curious. I didn't see it before, so I thought it would grow such a big tree in one day."

Draco rubbed his hand that was slapped away. Although it did not hurt, it seemed to be very embarrassing, "Come on, don't make excuses for your ignorance, Xiu.

If we don't go now, the cherry pudding will be gone. "

Hearing this, Xiu immediately grabbed Draco's hand and trotted away. Draco thought about it again and again, but still did not pull his hand back.

Humph, seeing that you're my friend, I'll give you this face.

After dinner, he ate his favorite cherry pudding. Xiu's whole body was relaxed and soft like Celie's hair, making people want to touch him.

Draco not only thought about it, but also very impolitely touched his hand. Hmm, Xiu's soft black hair really feels good.

Seeing that Xiu was about to explode, he decisively changed the topic and asked, "Speaking of which, what are you going to do this weekend?"

This question was originally asked by Xiu, so he did not think much about it, "Take Celie to stroll around the campus. I'm afraid that if I don't let her go out for two days, she will suffocate."

Draco heard this and nodded in agreement, "What else?" He scratched his head, how could there be more?

Xiu paused for two seconds, "Nothing else.

What's your plan? "

After repeating his plan, Draco finally decided, "Come see me train on Saturday morning. In the afternoon, we'll take Celie around.

On Sunday, we'll help godfather with his experiment. "

Xiu was startled. How could his itinerary be fixed? "Please, spare me, I'm scared.

I'm not interested in Quidditch at all. Although our dean is very handsome, the potion class is enough. You want me to appear in front of the dean on Sunday, aren't you afraid that I'll have a psychological shadow? "

His teasing words successfully made Draco pout, Quidditch was his favorite sport, and his godfather was a person he respected very much.

Now that Alpha Ursae's words stepped on two lines, he felt that it would not do.

"Listen, I don't care what you do, at least choose one of the two things." Xiu could not help Draco when he was willful, and disobeying him would only make things worse.

Considering that Quidditch was dangerous enough to kill people in seconds, Xiu finally chose a slow suicide and helped the dean with the experiment together with Draco.

After the discussion, the two of them took a walk and returned to the Slythrin Lounge.

Draco naturally occupied and would occupy the leather sofa closest to the fireplace for a long time. There was also Celie's favorite white unicorn blanket on it, and Xiu also took half of the sofa.

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Xiu took out a picture album and looked at it for the whole night, while Draco did all the Sudoku questions from the previous issues of the Daily Prophet in the lounge.

They did not speak much for the whole night, and the two agreed to have breakfast the next day. After they met in the afternoon, they said good night and went to rest.

The first Saturday in Hogwarts was a sunny day, and Xiu's breakfast time finally coincided with the breakfast time of most people.

When he came to the auditorium, he did not see the golden head on the Slytherin Long Table. Xiu moved to the right and sat next to Pansy.

"Good morning, dear."

Pansy saw Xiu sitting down and greeted him graciously. Theodore, who was sitting on the bench opposite her, was chewing and just waved his hand in greeting.

After ordering a glass of milk, Xiu greeted his friends, "Good morning, Pansy.

Good morning, Theodore.

The weather is really good today. "

Seeing that Xiu came alone, Pansy asked about Draco's whereabouts and got the answer that he probably went to Quidditch to participate in the training.

Xiu and Theodore talked about a lot of strange and interesting legends about Hogwarts.

Unlike most people, Theodore had already received the admission letter from Hogwarts a year ago, but because of his physical condition at the time, he delayed admission for a year.

During this year, he read a lot of books about the future school, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he knew a lot about Hogwarts.

He specifically asked Theodore about the story of the Whaling Willow, and received a meaningful look from Theodore. "Speaking of the Whaling Willow, it was transplanted by Principal Dumbledore during the summer vacation more than twenty years ago."

After scooping another spoonful of pudding into his mouth, Theodore added, "Although other people did not know why a Whaling Willow was suddenly transplanted, since Hogwarts was a school that allowed willful behavior, no one said anything.

Since then, the Whaling Willow was classified as a forbidden area, and few people dared to ask about it. "
