When the people beside the bed saw Riley, their expressions became a little unnatural. Of course, that doesn't include Harry. He had just joined the Quidditch team and didn't understand anything.

Oliver, completely ignorant, happily told Riley to sit down.

The Weasley twins were very discerning and dragged Harry out to join the others.

However, Anna bit her lower lip before leaving, as if she had made up her mind, and walked up to Riley: "He needs to rest. How about we go out first?"

Even Harry could sense something was wrong now.

A young couple wants to whisper, why are you interrupting?

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Riley slowly put the things in her hands on the bedside cabinet: "Us?"

These two words are full of irony. Katie, who was on the same team as Anna, couldn't help but defend her friend: "How did you say that?"

Oliver's heart tightened and he grabbed Riley's hand: "Don't say that."

Riley ignored the hand held by Oliver and glanced up at Katie and Anna. There was no sign of anger on her face: "Can't you understand people? I'm making fun of you. I'm his girlfriend. In our relationship While the relationship is maintained, don’t persuade me to leave. Wherever I am, his first choice can only be me. Now please go out and close the door. I have something to say to my boyfriend. "

This was said without politeness. However, several people present were stunned for a moment, and finally went out obediently. He also closed the door by the way.

Wait for everyone to go out. Riley turned her head and met Oliver's disapproving gaze.

Riley laughed angrily.

Riley sat on the edge of the bed, took out a fruit knife and began to slowly peel the apple.

Oliver watched her onion-like fingers holding the apple and peeling off the skin bit by bit. Her long, white fingers jumped between the tip of the knife and the apple, as if carving a perfect work of art.

How could anyone peel an apple so beautifully? ?

"You shouldn't have spoken to Anna and Katie like that."

The hand that peels the apple pauses, as if someone has pressed the pause button on the beautiful music. Riley raised her head and looked straight at Oliver with her beautiful green eyes.

Oliver felt uncomfortable being looked at: "They are my friends."

Riley withdrew her gaze and continued her movements, ignoring the wood that was talking to itself.

Oliver moved about on the bed like a writhing insect. Riley finished peeling the apple and sighed. Just when Oliver wanted to ask her why she sighed, she bit off a large piece of apple flesh.

The force was so severe that Oliver flinched. I always feel like this bite is not an apple.

After swallowing the pulp, Riley said to Oliver, "Let's break up."

The breakup without any warning made Oliver feel like he was struck by lightning. For a long time, his ears were ringing, and he couldn't figure out whether what he just heard was an auditory hallucination or reality.

"Why!?" Oliver hurriedly pulled Riley's sleeves. The eyes that usually made her happy were looking at her anxiously, but they could no longer bring out any joy in her.

Riley pulled the sleeves out of the boy's hands in a very firm but unyielding gesture. Then answered his question: "Oliver, sometimes I really think you are a piece of wood. You are the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor. I believe that there must be very few people in Gryffindor coming to you because of our relationship. A troublesome situation. But I am in Slytherin, a Muggle-born Slytherin. Can you imagine how much ill will I endured from my fellow housemates after falling in love with you?

Perhaps not only my fellow housemates, but many Gryffindors also think that I have bad intentions in dating you. But you never seemed to notice. Of course, I can foresee these bad things if I dare to date you, and I will never regret my decision. It is undeniable that our efforts in the same relationship are not equal. But at least you make me feel that my efforts are worth it.

On my birthday, I waited for you all night at the observatory, and what I got was the news that you had forgotten to come to Quidditch practice. I support you in pursuing your dreams. Rather, I like the way you pursue your dreams. But you don’t seem to understand that the prerequisite for pursuing your dreams is not harming others. Even if you asked someone to bring me a message that night;

I've never been to a Quidditch match since I was with you. You know, when my boyfriend was confronting the college, I was caught in the middle and confused;

Other than that, my boyfriend is very attractive, which is a good thing. But obviously you don't know how to keep distance from the opposite sex when you have a lover. For example, Miss Anna just now. "

Oliver's face turned red after being told all this, and he only caught the last important point: "Anna is my friend."

Riley then finished the apple: "Oliver, there needs to be a distinction between friends and lovers. What do you think they were laughing at just now? It was ambiguity and tacit understanding." If all friends were like you and If Anna gets along like that, then everything in the world will be hats.

Oliver was speechless. Riley finished her apple, gave it a fresh coat, and headed out.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Oliver panicked and hurriedly pulled her sleeves, inhaling painfully because of the wound.

Riley supported him, whispered an apology, then pointed her wand at him and said, "Petrify them all."

Oliver fell on the hospital bed, and Riley placed him very gently, and then took out the contents of the bag: "Actually, when I was peeling the apples just now, I was thinking, if you could tell me before I finish peeling the apples, If you love me, I will answer that I love you too.”

Although he was petrified, his eyes could still move. Oliver tried his best to look at Riley sitting aside. Watching her take out one thing after another...all things he could use.

Riley said softly: "I have no use keeping these things, so I'll give them to you. And this." As she said that, Riley took off the necklace she had been wearing close to her body. Above is a picture of her and Oliver.

Riley put everything on the bedside, then looked at Oliver, with a hint of relief, and said with a smile: "Goodbye Wood."

------

When Riley came out of the hospital wing, the Weasleys were betting with Harry on how long it would take for Miss Lamiven to come out. Then I saw Riley's figure appearing at the door.

Several people stood up in unison, Anna and Katie still looked not very good.

When Fred told Harry proudly that he had won, he saw Harry's horrified expression.

what happened?

Fred followed Harry's eyes and looked over. Now he was frightened and hurriedly poked George aside. The two stood up and stood in front of Anna.

Without him, Riley walked towards Anna with an imposing manner, as if she wanted to push her head into the pool nearby in the next second.

Anna also became nervous, and Katie and Angelina also stood in front of her.

A worthy lion of Gryffindor.

Riley praised inappropriately in her mind.

Riley waved to Anna. Anna hesitated again and again, and walked over regardless of Katie's obstruction.

Riley took off the scarf around her neck and put it on Anna without any explanation. Merlin, at that moment, the Gryffindor lions even thought she wanted to strangle Anna.

But she didn't. She just lowered her head and carefully wrapped the scarf around Anna's neck.

In the distance, in a low voice that was just the two of them, "I hope you understand that what you did hurt the other girl."

Anna watched blankly as she put a scarf on herself, feeling at a loss for a moment.

Wood was born with a weak mind, and he didn't understand the little thoughts of the girls on his team, but as a person, she always had a sense of ambiguity and a sense of luck about her out-of-bounds behavior.

--only friends. She kept telling herself this. Whenever she did something that was beyond the scope of friends, she would comfort herself: they were friends, friends would do these things too, it was no big deal.

She has always been like this, suffering from the fact that the boy she likes can never see her, but also happy that she can do things beyond the boundaries of friends under the surface of friends.

When others make noises, she feels a twisted and shy happiness in her heart.

Sometimes insecurities and shyness rear their ugly heads—Wood has an above-board girlfriend, after all. But soon this emotion will be suppressed by the increasing ambiguity that she unilaterally believes - so what? We are friends. Of course she thought so.

Sometimes at night when no one was around, she also thought about what would happen to this girl after she discovered her unknown little thoughts. She might roar loudly and rush over to fight with herself; she might also hold Wood's hand viciously and show off to her... I never thought that she would be like this - gently wrapping a scarf on herself and telling herself: You hurt another girl.

Without Wood, there wouldn't be those bad things. Just simply tell yourself a result, as another girl.

This tenderness was like a sharp blade, cutting through the veil covering her heart that could not be seen clearly. The obscurity and dirty thoughts under those veils had nowhere to hide under the sun. It makes her even more ridiculous, dark and despicable.

Riley put a scarf on someone and walked back. The weather has turned cold recently, so I need to buy a new scarf to avoid catching a cold.

After she left, Angelina and Katie rushed up. Katie tried to take off the scarf randomly, but Anna stopped her.

Without answering Katie's puzzled look, Anna said to several people: "We'd better go see the captain first."

Of course, this is first and foremost.

I just never expected that it would be like this.

The petrified person's body is stiff and cannot move. This also means that they cannot restore their dignity in time when they shed tears.

Wood lay quietly on the bed, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. Continuously streaking across the cheek and seeping into the sheets below.

-------

Riley feels much freer now that she's single again. There are no more inquisitive eyes around him. Likewise, not many people were surprised by her breakup with Wood.

Come on, it’s not right for a lion and a snake not to separate.

Soon, however, this freedom ended.

"What? Quidditch?"

Opposite Marcus Flint, the Quidditch captain of Slytherin, expressed a little impatience at her surprise: "Yes, Slytherin's Quidditch team." He had already told her about it. If she joins in, just do it, no need to tweak it.

Riley frowned: "But, I have never been exposed to Quidditch. Why?"

Why else? You're the ex-girlfriend of the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and that's reason enough. Flint rolled his eyes: Think about it, his ex-girlfriend appeared on the Quidditch pitch, and she was still an opponent. Flint seemed to have anticipated Wood's black face, and he laughed happily.

Flint didn't really have the best of intentions to bring glory to the house by introducing Riley to Quidditch. It's just that the team just left a chaser. Although there is no substitute in the team, he just wants to disgust Wood. Merlin knew how many times he wanted to crush someone's fingers when he shook hands with them.

Of course there is another reason. The girl in front of me is just a Muggle-born wizard. This means that no matter what he does, no one will cause any trouble.

It's not hard to guess what Flint is thinking. At least Riley could tell his purpose from the malicious smile on his face.

"I refuse. I won't go."

Flint leaned over suddenly, and the pair of buck teeth and claws flashed in front of Riley, like a snake crawling on the ground waiting for an opportunity: "Oh? Why? Because you may fall in love with your lover, and you can't let it go. ?”

Riley looked at Flint in front of her calmly: "No. It's because I think it doesn't make sense to me. If nothing else happens, you will replace me in two weeks. I will be here in these two weeks. You won't get any Quidditch-related training or knowledge here. My only purpose is for you to compete for and laugh at. I hate this. So I refuse."

Flint didn't expect her to tell the truth so openly and honestly. I didn't expect that she would be so calm after guessing the truth and not angry at all. She calmly compared the knowledge she gained, the time she lost, and the ridicule she received on a scale, and then she got how much greater it was, and finally made a conclusion.

She is indeed a complete Slytherin.

Flint laughed, and then gradually approached Riley: "Don't worry. If you behave well, no one will drive you away."

The dark and low words were like mud wrapped around his ears. Riley pulled away from Flint uncomfortably: "I refuse."

Flint was rejected again and again, and his eyes became a bit harsh: "It's not up to you. Professor Snape wrote the note himself, you must follow me."

Professor Snape, Riley, was somewhat speechless: she helped him deal with slugs a few days ago, why did she turn her back on him today?

I guess he never paid much attention to the friction between students, so he just gave the note.

Gee.

Beauty Riley was speechless.

Flint watched with satisfaction as Riley took the note and showed his iconic buck teeth: "Quidditch practice tomorrow afternoon."

Unexpectedly, this practice actually allowed Slytherin to find an excellent chaser.
