[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Two days later, Christo received a reply from Malfoy. Although half a piece of parchment was ridiculed by Yang Yang, why didn't she go to Harry and the others, but she kindly sent the page of the blood test potion. And in the last few lines of the parchment, the precautions are explained in detail.

Christophe was very happy, and at the dinner table she tactfully expressed to Mrs. McMillan that Cedric had gone home, and she wanted to go to Diggory's house for a day.Mrs. McMillan had no doubts about him, after all the Diggory family had always loved their daughter.

If she knew that Christo secretly went to Diagon Alley with Cedric in order to buy potion materials, she would definitely not agree.

In the end, Christo brewed a blood test potion, and she had to be thankful that although this potion was troublesome, it didn't take long.She couldn't wait to cut the coagulated blood, poured out a third and fused it with the potion, and the transparent potion suddenly turned pure gold.She compared the statements on the page and searched line by line—it was chicken blood.

Cedric watched with great interest: "Could you be the princess who went to Hagrid to kill him?"

"How is it possible?" Christophe looked at the experiment result in puzzlement, "I'm not so violent, I got it from that wall - that's what happened to Filch's cat last time when."

Cedric glanced at her and asked with a smile, "Does Kerry plan to be an Auror in the future?"

"No, it's too dangerous." Chris pouted.

"Then what will Keli do in the future? You can choose courses in the third grade."

Christo looked at the potion in his hand: "Perhaps being a pharmacist is not bad, in fact, I also want to go around, discover unknown potion ingredients, study their characteristics, and compile a book—— um, At that time, I will be responsible for collecting materials, and Guidero will be responsible for writing."

Cedric smiled dumbly: "Why do you suddenly think so?"

"Isn't it sudden? When I went to Ireland with Gilderoy during the summer vacation, he also asked me this question. I thought about it at the time, and then I was locked up by Professor Snape for a semester last semester. In fact, I found that I still like it a lot.”

After dinner at Digory's, Cedric sent Christo back to Macmillan Manor.Christo added another word to the parchment, rooster.She really couldn't imagine what the relationship between the fearsome monster in the secret room had to do with the rooster?Could it be that it likes to eat chicken?Christine thought about many possibilities but failed to make any progress, so she had to temporarily abandon this clue and start thinking about the Malfoy family again.

In a blink of an eye, Christmas was approaching, and Christo had to start preparing gifts for relatives and friends, and the matter of the secret room was put aside.

On the morning of Christmas Eve, Mr. McMillan came back despite the wind and snow. He was so energetic that Christo could hardly tell that he rushed back from Germany in a hurry. She rushed over happily and was caught by Mr. McMillan Pick up and turn around.Mrs. McMillan smiled brighter than any other day. Ernie was studying his homework in the study when he heard the movement in the hall and went downstairs immediately.

Mr. McMillan patted Ernie on the shoulder: "Good boy, you've grown taller again." Ernie looked slightly embarrassed.Christo immediately insisted: "Obviously I have grown taller." Mr. McMillan smiled and rubbed her bangs: "Yes, yes, yes."

The flames of the fireplace made the whole room warm, and Momo respectfully took the master's coat, and quickly served hot tea.The family sat in the living room, listening to Mr. McMillan tell interesting stories about their trip to Germany.Since Christophe went to Hogwarts, her personality has gradually become lively. Her laughter is crisp and clear. It's rare that Mrs. McMillan didn't blame her.Even the old-fashioned Ernie couldn't help laughing at last.

Mr. McMillan asked again about the siblings' school.Ernie then told about the Chamber of Secrets. He thought he was speaking objectively, but Christo still stared at him dissatisfied.Mr. McMillan was not as extreme as Mrs. McMillan, but he still told the two brothers and sisters to be careful.

After lunch, Mr. McMillan and Ernie went to the study alone.

Christo was feeding Amber alone on the small balcony. She was busy with him tonight, and now she had to please this little guy.It was not long before Momo appeared, with a message for Mr. MacMillan.Christo immediately put down the nut box and went to the study, Amber flapped her wings angrily and flew away.

Mr. McMillan has always liked his daughter very much. As the eldest son, Ernie will support the family. He can't pamper and spoil him, but the daughter is different.Seeing Christo running in briskly, Mr. McMillan felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He thanked Merlin for not letting Keli die, and thanked Lockhart for bringing Keli back to the wizarding world.

Christo was finally able to vomit the depression during this time.Mr. McMillan listened quietly and was very happy to see his daughter's smiling and aggrieved face.After Christo finished speaking, Mr. McMillan asked slowly: "What if we are really in danger?"

Chris blinked more: "I won't go to a dangerous place alone."

"What if danger comes to you? It's not dangerous when you go to a dangerous place. You don't know where the secret room is right now?"

Christo thought for a while and said, "Of course I'm trying to become stronger before that. If even Professor Dumbledore can't deal with the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets, I don't care much about it."

"So, does Keli want to learn something special from Dad?" Mr. McMillan followed the temptation, and Chris was stunned for a moment, then happily rushed over and kissed Mr. McMillan on the cheek: "I like Dad the most." Already!"

Christmas Eve at McMillan Manor was spent in a warm atmosphere.

Early the next morning, Christo couldn't wait to get up and start unwrapping presents.Mom's gift was an ancient piano score, and Christo felt that it was about to fall apart when she opened the first page.Dad's gift was a palm-sized small wallet brought from Germany, but there was space in it, and it was divided into seven compartments. As for how much it can hold, she still can't tell.The presents from my brother, Hermione, Harry, and Ron were all sweets.What Cedric sent was a world map, which marked the ingredients for potions produced in various places. She read it over and over several times, and she really couldn't put it down.Lockhart sent her a series of Muggle books - "A Hundred Thousand Whys", and Christo was fascinated by it all at once, until Momo reminded her that there was half an hour before dinner.She hurriedly washed up and began to unwrap the remaining presents.Mr. Antle improved a hemostatic potion and painkiller, and he included the formula in the package.Christo didn't dare to open the gift from the Weasley twins, she didn't want to see a snake in the early morning.To Christo's surprise, Malfoy also sent a gift, which was a brand new "Power Potion". Christo suddenly remembered that he was not listed in yesterday's list, and quickly asked Momo to pack a bunch of them. The small snacks and candies at home asked Amber to send them over quickly.

The last gift seemed familiar to Christo. The box was small but very delicate, and the wrapping paper was dark green. She suddenly remembered that she had received such a box last year.This year's gift is perfume. The light blue liquid is housed in a delicate and small crystal bottle, with a faint radiance. The lightly fragrant paper still has beautiful and complicated fonts.

Christo was very puzzled, who was it, and did not leave his name every time.She didn't dare to eat last year's candy, and she didn't dare to smell this year's perfume.But Christo soon knew the answer. After breakfast, when she was learning spells from Mr. McMillan, Mr. McMillan asked her if she liked the bottle of perfume. He said it was a partner in this business— —Miss Tracy White specially entrusted him to bring back a gift. According to Miss White, she met Christo once and liked it very much.

Christo was even more confused now, she didn't remember anyone named White among the people she knew.Before going to bed at night, Christo took out the bottle of perfume and looked at it again, but still had no clue in her mind. She opened the bottle cap and sniffed it. Only three or four flavors can be discerned from medicinal materials.

Suddenly, Amber came in through the dark window, and all the snow on its wings fell on Christo's quilt, and it dropped a flaming envelope and flew away quickly.

Christo looked at the letter dumbfounded, and it turned out to be another roaring letter. The gift she gave Professor Snape this year was dragon's blood!The precious dragon's blood that cost her a lot of pocket money!

She quickly picked up the envelope, summoned her broom, and flew towards the grove.
