【HP】Elvira’s Unicorn Garden

Hogwarts, second floor of the castle.

According to the itinerary, Abraxas and Elvira should be on their way to the kitchen on the basement floor, but now they are in the corridor on the second floor.

Elvira had never realized that the corridor on the second floor was so long, as if it had no end.

The castle corridor was dim at dinner time. If the candlelight on the wall was ignored, the girl's light blonde hair had gradually begun to turn white, gradually moving down to the ends of her hair.

In the light of the candles on the corridor wall, the girl seemed to be covered with a layer of faint fluorescence. Her fluffy curly hair was draped behind her waist and hips. Her gray-blue eyes reflected the shadow of the candle as she looked ahead. Because she was weak and afraid of the cold, she was wearing a dark green plush shawl.

Even though it is almost summer, Elvira still feels cold from time to time, and the clothes she wears are much thicker than others.

The corners of the girl's lips curled up slightly, and there was a gentleness between her eyebrows that Abraxas could not describe. Such Elvira was undoubtedly the most touching, but she also seemed more fragile and more likely to increase the anxiety of those around her.

Elvira seemed even more unreal under the candlelight.

"This is the way to the school hospital." She smiled at him gently, standing quietly and letting the blond boy gather the loose shawl in front of her. "Then what about the next trip? I may have to break my promise."

In a trance, Abraxas seemed to feel that he saw the materialization of moonlight, and he understood why some people were always obsessed with the unattainable "moonlight".

Abraxas had seen Elvira like this several times, and he was moved every time.

"You can postpone the trip, Vivian." The young man lowered his head to adjust her shawl, his voice soft and gentle. At this moment, what Abraxas saw reflected not only the candles on the wall, but also the girl in front of him whom he had cared about for a long time. "We have a lot of time, we can do it whenever we want."

It was fortunate that the students and teachers of Hogwarts were enjoying a dinner party in the Great Hall or staying in the lounge. Not many people would think of wandering around the classrooms and corridors of the castle.

Otherwise, how to explain Elvira's situation is really a difficult problem.

Elvira's abnormal behavior caused concern among those around her, especially for Abraxas who had been by her side. Elvira was indeed too excited today, both mentally and energetically.

Instead, Elvira's excited state gradually calmed down when they approached the school hospital, but this was not a good situation, but worse.

"Vivian, what Letoria said... It's not like that. That's not what Letoria meant..." Abraxas led Elvira forward. He had walked this road with her many times, but this time he was more confused and helpless with every step.

The boy's voice was not as steady as before. He lowered his head and held the hand of the person next to him tighter and tighter, as if he was afraid that if he loosened his grip even a little, the person next to him would immediately disappear and go away from him.

He looked a little anxious. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, he could no longer disguise himself as perfectly as before. Malfoy, who was usually eloquent, seemed to have lost his voice at this moment.

He wanted to explain to her, but how should he start?

How can we cover up the things that we tried so hard to conceal once they are exposed?

The boy was very confused at this moment. Abraxas was like a child who had lost his way. No matter which road he took, he would eventually return to the origin that he could not leave and was afraid of.

"It's okay, Abu, it's okay." She comforted him softly, her face still smiling gently as if she was just mentioning something insignificant, "That was in the past, not now."

"Abu has always been by my side, hasn't he?" Elvira stared ahead, her snow-white hair swaying in a slight arc as she walked. "What should have passed should have been let go. Moreover, looking back now, it was indeed difficult for me to survive in Slytherin on my own at the beginning."

There are people like her in Slytherin House too, but they all ended up being marginalized. How many people are as lucky as her, who not only has an older sister and a older brother to protect her, but also has a powerful family behind her?

Her brothers and sisters and Abu have done enough for her. Fortunately, she has grown up and no longer has to hide under the wings of her family and companions.

"Letoria has helped me many times. Family, engagement, any one of these things alone would be enough to overwhelm me. I can't just hold a grudge against him for such a small matter." Not to mention that Letoria's ideological conflicts with his fiancée Selena Shafik have intensified repeatedly, and these are not things she, as a companion, can interfere with.

"Besides, we are companions, aren't we?" Elvira shook the boy's hand and said, "Don't tell anyone about these things, Abu. I don't dare to be heard by anyone other than Abu."

What is a companion? This word is an unknown yet anticipated existence for Elvira, whether she was seven or eight years old or is about to become a third-year Slytherin.

But Elvira also discovered that her companions in the academy seemed to equate the definition of "companion" with "interests", whether it was Abu, Orion, Rudolph, or even Walburga and Roselle...

Only those who can bring benefits to themselves, or those who can maximize benefits, can be called "companions".

Neither she nor anyone else, whether they agree or not, have the qualifications nor the ability to change this rule that has been followed by most Slytherins for so long.

The so-called strong changing the rules is just conforming to the rules in a sense.

"When it's just the two of us, I hope Vivian can tell me what's in her heart, and Vivian can trust me unconditionally." Abraxas paused and suddenly pulled the girl beside him into his arms. He buried his head in the neck of the person in his arms, greedily absorbing the breath from that person that made him feel at ease, which was enough to fill all his uneasiness and dependence.

In his eyes, Vivian was just Vivian.

The boy's figure began to grow taller, and he was already much taller than Avra ​​compared to when he first came. But such a tall and thin boy now looked like a large dog, curled up in the arms of the person he cared about and refused to let go no matter what.

"Okay..." Such Abraxas made Elvira couldn't help laughing. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and ruffled the boy's meticulously long golden hair. Although it felt soft, she could still feel a slight itch and tingling when the broken hair on the boy's forehead rubbed against his neck.

Someone who was standing at the corner on the way to the second floor happened to witness this scene.

The person who came shrank into the corner and didn't dare to look again.

Since then, this 'uninvited' 'guest' has always been obsessed with the gentle figure of the white-haired girl illuminated by the candlelight.

But who else can truly understand this youthful feeling except himself?

"Can you imagine Abraxas looking like this in front of Elvira in private?" In the corridor near the school hospital, the white-haired girl was whispering to comfort the boy in her arms. Edgar shook his head and walked to the side of the black-haired boy. It was hard to tell whether his eyes were teasing or more complicated. "Elvira has grown up."

Edgar suddenly said, like a sudden exclamation, but in Rudolf's eyes it was more like a... joke.

"Don't talk like you're much older than Elvira." Rudolph suppressed his emotions and resumed his usual nonchalant attitude when he spoke again, "What are you doing here?"

"Guess." Edgar smiled and threw the words back to him.

"Put away your disgusting attitude. Or maybe I guess someone drank Polyjuice Potion and pretended to be Nott to disgust me." The boy raised his lips slightly and spoke in a clear voice, but the words he uttered seemed to be full of thorns. "Or do you want to be cursed?"

When he turned his head again, he saw that the person at the other end of the corridor had disappeared. He must have gone to the school hospital. Although there was still some distance from the corridor, Rudolf unconsciously straightened his robe when he walked out from the corner.

Edgar didn't mind Rudolf's aggression towards him and his subsequent neglect. The unknown smile in his eyes remained. The boy fixed his gaze on Rudolf's back, which seemed to be running forward but more like fleeing, as if he wanted to find out something from him.

It's really fun.

But as a good 'brother', he has the right to keep his 'sister's' secret, doesn't he?
