Cultivating Love
Chapter 7
When he saw Xiu at the Slytherin Long Table, he was eating pudding with his head buried in it.
Draco sat down and patted him. "Hey, why did you start eating dessert before you even finished your meal?"
Xiu raised his head and looked at Draco aggrievedly. "Do me a favor, Draco.
I'm in a bad mood, can't I eat something sweet? "Was he blaming him for being a road idiot?
He didn't want to be like this.
He patted Xiu's shoulder to comfort him and stopped pestering him about eating pudding. Draco held back his laughter and asked, "How did you get back when you were lost?
I don't think you found it yourself. "
Xiu stared at Draco with his big watery eyes. He was so miserable and still made fun of him. Where was his humanity?
After swallowing the last mouthful of pudding, Xiu said, "Don't mention it.
I asked for a portrait all the way here. There was a period of time when I didn't have a portrait. I had no choice but to disturb two young couples who were dating. "
Draco, who had been holding back his laughter, laughed out loud. When Xiu heard this, he snorted and turned his head away.
Who didn't have a little temper?
When Draco was done laughing, he went to provoke Xiu again. "It's nothing. What's the big deal for you to be angry about?"
It was mainly because he had just come to Hogwarts. Once he familiarized himself with the place, he wouldn't get lost in these few floors.
Xiu threw his fork away and ordered another pudding. He picked up his spoon and ate it fiercely.
He ate too fiercely and accidentally choked, making Draco laugh non-stop.
Seeing that Xiu was about to explode, Draco quickly changed the topic and asked him what he wanted to eat for dinner.
Xiu didn't raise his head and said with incomparable resentment, "Come on, I don't even have a cream of mushroom soup."
Who knew that Wu Xin's words coincided with Draco's feelings for the past two days. "Hogwarts' food, to be honest, can't be considered exquisite.
There aren't many dishes. I'm going to write a letter to my father. "
Xiu, who was fidgeting with the menu, whispered sourly, "It's so good to be rich. If only I were as rich as you."
Draco snorted when he saw Xiu's cowardly look. In fact, Draco had sent a rather long menu to his family. Not only did he have Xiu's requirements, but he had also solicited the opinions of some other Slytherin.
Although it was a small matter, it was also a good opportunity to win people's hearts. Draco would not miss this opportunity. As for the brooms for the flying lesson, he should also ask his father to put pressure on the Hogwarts. The school board's annual investment in the school was not for show.
After lunch, Celie abandoned her master and went into Draco's arms. She was snuggling comfortably in her new lover's arms.
Draco followed Xiu, who was walking a little faster because of jealousy. He said that he had already asked around. Generally speaking, pets brought to school by students were free to roam around the entire Hogwarts during their master's classes.
Hearing this, although Xiu was still foolishly taking big steps, he was also considering the matter of releasing the ungrateful white ball. She had been locked up for two days in a row, which made the whole cat irritable.
"Will Celie forget the way back to the cellar?" These things still needed to be considered.
Draco bent down to put down White Dumpling and rolled his eyes at Alpha Ursae. "Damn it, do you think Celie is as bad as you?
She's smart. It's definitely not a problem for her to go back by herself. "
Xiu was also ridiculed to the point that he was worse than a cat. He was not angry. "Can't you just talk nicely?
Do I have to cry in front of you before you're satisfied? "
Hearing this, Draco snorted and let him go. He followed White Dumpling all the way. In the end, Xiu looked at her deeply and let her play by herself.
If things didn't work out, Celie's collar still had his contact information. She should be fine.
Seeing Xiu's reluctant look, Draco, who was a little taller than him, directly grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
Xiu's neck was strangled and he kept screaming.
They awkwardly returned to the lounge.
On the first Saturday of the new school year, there were not many people staying in the lounge. When they came in, there were two girls playing wizard chess.
Seeing them, they gave up the game and left with a red face.
Xiu was amused. He looked at the wizard chess and Draco and raised his eyebrows, asking silently, "Do you want to play a game?"
When it came to playing, Draco was not afraid of anyone. Now that he was not picky about the girls' chess, he was ready to compete with Xiu.
"No, I'm going back!
I'm not going to play here! "
After playing for a while, Xiu's hair was messed up by himself. Draco's chess was too tricky. Unknowingly infiltrating was the most terrible.
Draco pursed his lips and smiled. He did not stop Xiu from regretting his chess. He casually waved his hand. "No doubt, Xiu.
You've lost again. "This was already the third game. Xiu lost the first two games faster.
He threw away the chess piece in his hand. Xiu was really convinced. The first two games could be said that he was careless. He was careful enough in this game, but he still could not beat the golden head opposite him.
It could only mean that he was indeed better than him.
Draco leisurely arranged the chessboard with the posture of a winner. Xiu took out a piece of paper and wrote a letter to his family.
His grandmother was in Bulgaria, his parents were in the London countryside, and his uncle's whereabouts were uncertain.
He wanted to write a letter to his uncle, but he could not send it. Xiu could only write a letter to his parents to tell them that he was safe. He also wrote a letter to his grandmother about his feelings in Hogwarts.
For Xiu, his grandmother was much closer than his parents.
While Xiu was writing letters, Draco was not idle. Although he did not have the habit of writing a diary, he was very keen to share his life with his parents. He wrote letters every day.
Xiu could not help but secretly envy him.
After writing the letter, Draco called the house elf to bring two cups of tea. He was not used to drinking the tea from the school, so he directly prepared it himself. Xiu also could not taste the difference. He did not know why the price was several times different.
"I heard from my father that my godfather has been experimenting with this kind of magic medicine for several years. Xiu, you'd better be prepared for long-term failure."
He gently put down the teacup. Compared to Xiu, who knew nothing about tomorrow's content, Draco obviously knew a little more.
In fact, this was not his godfather's request, but his father, Lucius's request.
Although he did not tell Draco, it was obvious that Lucius did not have any hope for the success of the magic medicine. He just hoped that his son could accompany his close friend, who was still alone.
Xiu nodded his head to express his understanding. His parents, in order to continue his grandfather's research, had been working for more than ten years.
He naturally understood the difficulties and hardships.
However, the next day's magic medicine experiment was more like Professor Snape's tutoring for the two of them. He did not know whether it was because he did not trust the two little guys' level of magic medicine or because he was obsessed with completing it by himself, but Snape did not let the two of them get involved in his own research.
After listening to the lessons taught by a generation's Master Pharmacist, Xiu suddenly understood the unique charm of magic medicine. And Draco had obviously been enlightened about it for a long time.
Thus, at the moment, the guests were happy.
Generally, no one would be absent from Sunday's dinner, because in addition to Principal Dumbledore occasionally summarizing some of the things that happened in the previous week, there would also be dishes that were rarely served on the menu.
This Sunday, Principal Dumbledore announced the new dishes and the replacement of some of the old equipment.
When he talked about the new dishes, other than the Slytherin snakes who had already known about it, the students of the other three academies burst into warm applause.
Xiu gave a thumbs up to Draco, which made his golden head, which was originally puffed out, almost reach the sky.
When Xiu finally ate his favorite cream of mushroom soup, he followed Draco, who had also eaten a lot, back to Slytherin's Rest. White Dumpling Celie, who had spent the night outside for the first time, also came back.
Xiu happily picked her up directly, which made the little guy who did not like to cry meow.
When Draco saw this, he rolled his eyes at the Alpha Ursae and took Celie in his arms. Only then did the meow stop.
After three or four days of getting along with Xiu, the few Slytherin snakes, who originally wanted to hug Celie, were no longer reserved and played with the White Dumpling happily.
