hp's chaotic life at Hogwarts

Even though she had mentally prepared for this, Riley still didn't expect it to be so boring. Professor Slughorn is indeed a very outstanding professor, and it is not surprising that among the students he entertained, there were several descendants of powerful authorities, including Riley. But the theme of the entire dinner was still surprisingly boring and boring.

"My parents are dentists. A boy once bit him and he needed ten stitches." Hermione answered Slughorn's question calmly. The entire dining table suddenly fell silent. Indeed, among the "high-ranking officials and dignitaries" in the wizarding world, Hermione's parents seemed a bit out of place.

As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. Hermione calmly ate the meal in front of her, ignoring the curious or disdainful looks from the table.

Seeing Hermione eating her share of pudding calmly, Riley felt relieved and concentrated on enjoying the food in front of her.

This is a Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Red and green intersect fiercely, with red ultimately winning.

Ron performed exceptionally well in this game. When he returned to the Gryffindor common room, he was lifted up amid cheers. After a passionate kiss with Lavender, the relationship was officially established.

Amid the cheers around her, Hermione looked up at this friend whom she might have had a crush on. In the second grade, her heart skipped a beat because of Ron's protection for her; in the third grade, they looked at each other in panic because they touched each other's hands; in the fourth grade, she also looked forward to Ron's invitation to the prom... But now these It all makes no sense anymore. All the heartbeats of youth disappeared with the summer wind and time, and there was a new boy around her who could make her love and care for her wholeheartedly. Although that boy was extremely clumsy.

Harry and Hermione are invited to the Yule Ball. Riley also received an invitation from the professor who hired exceptionally gifted students. She didn't intend to offend the other party. But where should she get her male companion?

Draco was surprised and surprised when he was invited. He asked Riley with disbelieving eyes, and received a gentle smile from Riley.

"Why me?" Draco hesitated, but asked anyway.

"Harry can go with Hermione. Since I don't have a companion, I invite you."

But... my father has entered Azkaban... Draco couldn't say this. Although his father was just surrendering and pretending to do so, he still refused to mention it in front of Riley.

Riley could see what Draco wanted to say, and she hugged Draco: "Because you are a Malfoy, not by blood, but by your family fighting for you. Even if they don't know, I I want you to be proud of this.”

Draco could feel the emotions gradually creeping up from his tail spine to his brain, and something in his eyes was about to get out of control. In order not to lose his composure, he took a step forward, hugged Riley tightly, buried his head in the girl's shoulder and neck, and let out a low growl like a small animal.

The Christmas dinner is very good, with beautiful decorations, luxurious dresses, fragrant clothes and shadows, and people drinking and drinking. Draco was very suitable for such an occasion. Having been immersed in this kind of etiquette since he was a child, he knew that these people who were chatting and laughing with him on the surface actually had their own thoughts behind the scenes. Even if some people try their best to hide it, there is still a trace of schadenfreude or superior pity in their eyes.

Draco maintained the same smiling face as them, but he was sneering in his heart - he might have been furious before, but now he has matured a lot, maybe due to Riley's influence. At this stage, he cannot step on these Shabis, but he will definitely ride on top of them in the future.

Riley knew that Harry and Hermione didn't get along well with Draco, and she never thought about putting a few people together and forcing them to become "good friends", so when she saw Harry and Hermione walking over, she really Very surprised.

Draco rolled his eyes at the sight of the person. Even though they were on the same page now, he still hated this bad guy who often hung around Riley.

Potter certainly didn't have any thoughts of solidarity and friendship with Draco. He just wanted to talk to Riley. Now he automatically ignored Draco: "Riley, Ron asked us to ask you if you would like to go to the Weasleys' house with us for Christmas tomorrow?"

Riley smiled: "What a coincidence, Fred and George also sent me invitations." This year is not peaceful, and she does not plan to go home for Christmas.

That's what it means to come. Harry became happy, and even Draco next to him was no longer an eyesore: "Then we'll wait for you at the Burrow."

Almost done. Draco muttered in his mind to pull the person away. The two boys' eyes met in the air, a fierce confrontation broke out, and then calmed down.

By the time the two of them came to their senses, Hermione had already happily dragged Riley to the dessert area to eat small cakes.

It was a lovely Christmas at the Burrow. Even though this little home is small, even though it is a little poorer, it is very warm and full of fireworks. The children's fight, the father's stop, the mother's helpless voice, this is a beautiful page in the world.

Fred and George were still so desperate that Riley wanted to give them a couple of blows; Molly was still so enthusiastic that it was overwhelming; Arthur was still friendly and humorous...

Riley walked in with her left foot, and Fred took her right foot in his arms: "Hey Riley, long time no see. What have you been busy with lately?"

George came over and separated the people without leaving any trace: "Riley, welcome to our store. You haven't been there for a long time." What did you do there? When they are free prank product testers?

Not daring to take it seriously, her speechless look made George laugh. Fred on the other side also laughed, but he felt a little awkward.

The two of them insisted on dragging Riley to see their room, like a big dog deliberately showing off its bones in front of its owner, hoping to be rewarded with a head pat.

Riley followed the two people upstairs. The stairs of the Burrow were in disrepair and made a creaking sound. Riley walked at the front. Behind her, George gently hugged her and held her in a protective manner. wrist. Riley didn't notice anything wrong - they had been in constant physical contact at school and had gotten used to it over time.

Just because Riley didn't notice it didn't mean that others didn't notice it. Fred walked behind them, watching with some discomfort as George devoured Riley's back domineeringly. From his angle, he could only see the girl's hair peeking out a little from the boy's broad shoulders, making it look like George was holding Riley while walking.

Have you passed it? Fred's brows hadn't relaxed since George pulled him away just now. Until they entered their room.

Fred and George's room complemented the overall room decoration of the Burrow. They were all the same warmth and warm colors, which made people feel comfortable just looking at them.

Unlike their noisy personalities, although their bedroom has a lot of stuff due to the small space, it can still be considered orderly and tidy amid chaos.

Riley looked around and saw that it was really good, so she praised the two older boys.

The moonlight outside the window spilled into the room through the curtains, and the warm yellow light in the room shone down. The girl put her hands behind her back, and when she looked at them laughing, the light in her eyes was brighter than the moonlight.

Both George and Fred were dazzled by this beautiful sight. George could hardly restrain the overflowing love in his heart and stepped forward to hug Riley. Just as he took a step forward, something unexpected happened.

The accident happened very quickly. A sea of ​​fire suddenly burst out of the window and surrounded the Burrow. Sparks reflected on her face through the window. Riley reacted instantly, took out her wand and pushed away the person in front of her, reaching the open space outside the Burrow.

It's not that she didn't see that familiar figure, but of course Riley couldn't let go of the Burrow and let this cozy little house turn into ashes. Because there were many adult wizards behind her, she had no worries about her back and loudly pointed her wand at the sky: "aguamenti!"

Magic power poured out from the tip of the wand and slid towards the sky, and then a huge curtain of water poured down from the sky, extinguishing the raging fire.

I underestimated her. I thought she would chase him out after seeing him. Of course, I didn't expect that she could be so... excellent.

Shafiq's gloomy and hollow eyes came out from the two holes in the mask, looking straight at the girl standing upright not far away.

Riley hadn't reacted yet, but Harry's reaction was huge. It turns out that this man is the man who performed "Cruciato" on Riley. He is a Death Eater around Voldemort, and he is also Riley's...father.

Among the children present, Harry, the three plus Ginny knew about it. But Fred and George were confused. They touched their little brother: "Ron, what's wrong? Why is Harry looking like this?"

Ron gritted his teeth and stared angrily at the tall figure: "That's Riley's biological father, Shafiq." Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two of them changed - Riley's father treated her Molly and Arthur had talked about the despicable thing at the dinner table, and had sternly warned Fred and George not to inadvertently make jokes about Riley.

The two men glared at each other angrily, and so many angry looks did not have any impact on the man in the robe. His eyes only looked at Riley, and his tall body made him look very oppressive. Two lines of sight came out of the two scary-looking holes. There was no kindness in them, only madness and shrewdness.

Riley felt like he was looking at her like a fish on the chopping board. I've thought about how many times I'd like to cut which part to add flavor to it, and how to eat it in that place.

Sirius and Lupine held Harry down and looked at Riley worriedly. When they saw that the girl showed no signs of being moved, they were a little frightened - she just stood there, and the biological father in front of her seemed to be nothing more than He is a passer-by in her life. Her father indirectly caused her to be abandoned; he never looked for her after he came back; he even cast the Cruciatus Curse on her... However, she had no intention of feeling aggrieved or questioning at all. She accepts this reality calmly and confronts her father.

For Riley, now that she knows what kind of person Shafiq is, she no longer has any expectations of him. Maybe it is natural for children to envy their parents, but Riley is no longer a child. She knows that no one in the world will be nice to you for no reason. The adult world is mostly full of competition for interests and interweaving of power.

As for Shafik, he is just a Hogwarts graduate who stands on his opposite side and poses a certain threat. Even if there is a "father-daughter" relationship, he mostly wants to take advantage of it rather than compensate for it. The moment he cast the unforgivable curse on himself, it was destined that they would never be a normal father and daughter.

Riley sees clearly. Since it can't change reality, then accept it.
