A Hogwarts Love Game

??

It had been a rough week for Fleur.

Although Sandy is just an owl, he is very smart. After getting along with him for a long time, the family has already regarded him as a family member.

So you can imagine how depressed the atmosphere at home was in the past few days when the little guy disappeared.

Mr. Delacour, who usually submitted articles to a certain wizarding newspaper in France on time, delayed the work for several days because of his absent-mindedness. The editor-in-chief thought something had happened and apparated over to check.

Mrs. Delacour, who likes to delve into food magic, recently made something with either less salt or more chili. When she was feeding her sister, she unknowingly stuffed a pacifier into the baby's nostril, which annoyed the poor little girl. The guy cried for a long time.

Fleur herself, who is in the stage of preschool education and is preparing to go to a magic school, has a hard time reading any content in the book. She even feels that there is a book called "Basic Magic Spells for Dealing with Hyperactive and Irritable Animals". The spell may be effective on himself.

Everything stems from this minor accident, which obviously disrupted the daily rhythm of the family that should have been warm and natural, making it difficult for a girl who has rarely or almost never experienced sadness to calm down.

Therefore, when she suddenly discovered that the owl she had not seen for a long time had appeared again, she was filled with surprise that could not be concealed.

"Where have you been all this time! Sandy?"

When the owl landed on the balcony fence, the excited girl immediately hugged it tightly in her arms, so hard that the little guy who was also "full of" joy couldn't help but scream, and then began to flap its wings messily. , struggling to break free.

"Oh, I'm sorry Sandy, I'm so excited."

Fleur quickly let go of it, but her little face was still full of excitement that could not be concealed.

"Mom said you must have been captured by a group of British people, and you might have even been plucked and eaten clean, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to come back for so long. I was scared to death, and I even had nightmares at night. I can’t imagine how ugly you would be without hair…so where have you been?”

……

"You look okay?"

……

"Sorry, I forgot that you can't speak..."

……

"So Sandy, are you hungry?"

……

"Is this your missing owl, Fleur?" A word came from the side, interrupting the girl's incoherence.

"Yes, Louis, it's Sandy."

The girl happily replied that at first she was quite bored by this boy who came to visit her relatives, but now she is more in love with the house.

But this emotion dissipated instantly after the other party's next words.

"It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it."

The round-faced boy with blond hair said self-righteously: "Obviously, this little thing must have slipped out to play and lost track of time."

"Sneaking out to play...what do you mean?"

The girl's smile faded when she heard this, and her expression became very unhappy, "Are you saying that my Sandy is as ignorant as you?"

"Is there any other possibility?"

"Who wouldn't go home for a week and play outside?"

"It's just a bird, Fleur. It's hard for us to figure out what's going on in its mind." The boy thought he was reasonable, but the result was a sneer from the other person.

"I find an ugly freckle-faced freak more confusing than a bird."

"Ugly? Who is it?"

The boy was curious as to why she suddenly changed the topic elsewhere, but then he found that the other party was looking at him with disdain, so he immediately understood, and his round face instantly turned red.

"I do not think that your current behavior is consistent with the standards of a French lady, Mademoiselle Delacour." He was trying his best not to be angry.

"is it?"

The girl's face became even more disgusted when she heard this, "Why didn't I realize earlier, Louis, that you are not only ugly, but also so stupid?"

"you--"

The boy's attitude of falling out whenever the other party said he was falling out made the boy angry and even a little confused. He was speechless and didn't understand why the "moody" guy in front of him was so angry.

However, the dispute between the two children did not continue, because as their voices grew louder, the adults in the living room downstairs noticed something was wrong here, and rushed over quickly.

Then, the Delacours, who were originally wondering what the two children were doing, noticed the presence of the owl for the first time and were very excited.

The parents of the round-faced boy who came to visit the Delacour family visibly smiled when they saw this, and then expressed their congratulations - obviously he had much more emotional intelligence than their son.

But all this has nothing to do with Furong.

Seeing the commotion near the balcony, especially after seeing the "fake" smiling faces of the boy's parents, she wrinkled her delicate little nose in disgust, and then left the place simply.

The adults, who were elated by the owl's return, didn't see anything wrong with it.The round-faced boy who originally wanted to get close to the girl because she was beautiful is now completely repelled by the girl because his self-esteem has been hit, and naturally he will not approach her and say anything.

So no one noticed that when Fleur left, she was holding a rolled-up letter in her hand.

"Is this the letter that Mom said she didn't tell me anything about?"

The girl thought curiously as she walked, her heart filled with eagerness to find out what the letter actually said.

In other words, the return of Sandy the owl made her inner gloom disappear. After regaining her previous vitality, she had no extra thought to pay attention to the small unpleasantness before - falling out with her relatives was nothing in her opinion. Important things, and she thought she was telling the truth.

However, I originally thought that the letter contained some kind of secret, or that it might involve some magical spells that were forbidden to underage wizards.

But she didn't expect that this letter didn't involve those at all, and it wasn't even the letter from the mother she thought she was.

After returning to the bedroom, she carefully took out her wand and chanted a locking spell on the door. Fleur couldn't wait to spread the letter, and then her expectant face suddenly froze, and then her expression became even weirder.

Surprise, shame, self-blame, contempt, anger, grievance...

The content of this letter is not long, but it seems to have magic power, making the face of the girl who looks at it change rapidly and become very complicated.

"What a self-righteous guy!"

She finally threw the letter aside angrily, her little face full of annoyance and frustration.

"You don't know anything, why does she say that!?"
