[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Arguing in the middle of the night always makes people more tired, and Hagrid has already fallen asleep on the sofa.The Dursleys were huddled in a corner, shivering, despite their best efforts to put on an angry look—their beloved son had a pig's tail growing out of his ass.

Harry couldn't sleep, the conversation rewinding over and over again in his mind.He tossed and turned in bed, always feeling uneasy, although Hagrid's loud snoring did make him absolutely sure that he was about to get away from the Dursleys.Finally, he thought of it - Christo hadn't come back yet.Everyone seems to have forgotten about her.He fumbled for his glasses in the dark, put them on the bridge of his nose, and tiptoed to the door and slipped out.

The storm has become much smaller, but the tiny raindrops still hurt when they hit the face under the gust of wind.Harry felt like the wind was blowing his thin body away.He looked up and looked around, finally found a touch of gold in the gray, and ran over.

Christo sits on a small rock like a sculpture.She squinted her eyes, wondering what she was looking at.The waves crashed against the rocks and splashed the bottom of her jeans, but she didn't seem to notice.

"McMillan, are you alright?" Harry felt a little cold, his teeth and tongue rubbing together.

"Oh, Potter. I'm fine." Her out-of-focus eyes narrowed slightly.

Harry didn't know what to say, so he had to sit on another rock beside him.They are all looking at the line between the sea and the sky, and they are all equally confused and at a loss for the future, even though one of them is Harry Potter, who is famous in the wizarding world and defeated the Dark Lord at only one year old, and the other may be in the future. Became the greatest potions master since Severus Snape, but they were all eleven-year-olds at the moment.

"Which house are you going to, McMillan?" Harry smiled relieved that he had found a topic for himself.

"I don't know." Christo's answer in a low voice was almost covered by the waves.

"What?" Harry pricked up his ears as best he could.

Christo turned her head and said word by word: "I don't know, maybe I can't go to that school."

"Why!" Harry almost jumped up in surprise, he took off his glasses, wiped them vigorously with his sleeves, and put them on again, "That's Hogwarts, I don't want to be in Durham The Li family is stuck, I've had enough of them!"

"Because..." Christo frowned, because she was a coward and a coward.She looked at the surrounding water, took a breath, and said heavily, "Because I'm afraid of snakes."

"Have you ever been bitten by a snake?" Harry was about to laugh, but Christophe's solemn expression immediately made him feel a little guilty.

"No, in fact, in the only memory I have now, I haven't seen a real snake." When she said this, she visibly trembled.

Harry didn't know how to answer, a strange idea popped into his head, he needed to tell a lie, he scratched his messy hair: "I'm still afraid of cats, they can't keep me quiet Sit down for a while, even a little while."

Kristo burst out laughing: "You are afraid of cats, are you kidding me? The cat is so cute, fluffy, soft and warm."

Harry shook his head pretending to be distressed: "But I'm just afraid of it." He took out the notice and complained, "Look, Hogwarts actually allows his students to bring cats!" Looking over her head, she saw a line of small words at the place where Harry pointed—Students may bring an owl or a cat or a toad, she whispered in her heart, fortunately they were not allowed to bring a snake, that would be much more Terrified, she raised her head and said gloatingly: "It seems that our Mr. Potter has suffered."

"Yeah!" Harry sighed, looking at her sincerely, "McMillan, you come to Hogwarts too. If there is a snake, I will help you drive it away-I went to the zoo last time At the time, I even talked to the snake..."

"You said you can talk to snakes?" Chris said with a look of surprise, "That's really an amazing ability!"

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment: "I thought it was something everyone could do——McMillan, are you really not going to Hogwarts? Hagrid said that many excellent wizards graduated from there Yes, Dumbledore too!"

Many idiots also graduated from there, Christo thought silently in her heart, she didn't answer Harry's question, the balance in her heart fluctuated like the waves at the moment.

There was another long silence between them.The rain gradually stopped, the wind became softer, and the line between the sea and the sky showed a fish belly, and an owl suddenly flew towards Christo.Oh, damn it, it's another letter from Hogwarts, she leaned over, her center of gravity was unsteady—"Merlin!" She was about to fall off the rock, and at the nick of time, Harry grabbed her—but Together they fell hard into the water.

Fortunately, the water at the reef was still shallow, just below Christophe's shoulders, and the owl happily circled above her head.

"Potter, can you take down the letter for me?" Christophe begged, Harry looked at her with some doubts, he did as he did, jumped up, grabbed the letter and tore it off , "Christopher on the Reef? Ms. McMillan, hi, McMillan, your letter—"

"Merlin's sock." Christo rubbed her temples with a headache, "If it's a notice from Hogwarts, please throw it farther away."

"No, there's no Hogwarts logo on it."

Christina took the letter doubtfully. She opened the parchment envelope and unfolded the parchment——Dear Ms. McMillan: I'm sorry the school logo scared you.You must be a lovely girl, I heard about you from Mr Lockhart.Hogwarts has the best potion masters, and at the same time, we will ensure the safety of every student.If you're feeling intimidated, you're always welcome to drop by my office for a slice of lemon ice cream, that sweet and sour stuff that's sure to put you in a good mood.Of course, I can also teach you a hundred ways to drive away that creature. I hope to hear from you before July 31, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

Christo breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes were wet, Gildero, she said the name in her mind.Harry stood next to her and looked at her puzzled.

She turned around suddenly and said expectantly, "Oh, Harry, if I'm going to Hogwarts, you'll help me get rid of those horrible creatures, won't you?"

"Of course, you are my first friend at Hogwarts." Harry said puzzled.

Christo suddenly stood on tiptoe and hugged him gently. "Thank you!" She choked up and said, her tears fell, just let her believe so blindly once, she must give herself a reason to reassure herself, whether Gilderoy or Dumbledore, haha No matter Li, she was afraid that her courage was not enough, "As a return gift, I will help you drive away the kittens."

Harry's ears were red, and he stood there motionless. He couldn't be sure if Christo was crying, but he deeply felt the deep anxiety and vulnerability in her.
