[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

The sky is gray, I don't know whether it is dawn or dusk, she is walking forward, she just knows to move forward.She had no time to look around, she only knew that there were countless thorns entangled under her feet, she walked for a long time, and felt that the wound was dry due to the exhaustion of blood.Water, she really wanted to drink water, but she looked around but there was no sign of water.Suddenly, she heard someone talking——

"Aren't they awake yet, Mr. Antle?" A young voice sounded.

"Yes, I don't know what's wrong, I tried my best..." It was the old man's voice, and he sounded very tired.

"I have troubled you recently."

What are they talking about?Dorothy felt her head was lead-filled, clumsy and sluggish, she didn't seem to understand what they were talking about, water, water, she just wanted to drink water now.

"It's okay—after all...he's also a wizard..." The old man suddenly coughed, "Tracey, you really have to wait—after all..."

Merlin, please stop talking, she doesn't care about anything, she just wants to drink water.Whoever it is, can you give her some water?Just a little bit, and she felt like her lungs were going to burn dry.

"Water, water..." She screamed with difficulty, the pain in her throat finally made her thinking clear, this is—she was rescued again.

"No, I have to go back to France right away, Durmstrang sent another letter, I have to... ah, what's going on..." She couldn't hear what he was saying, and she tried to make her brain She tried to spin, but she failed, and she lay helpless on the hard bed.

Suddenly, she felt her lips become moist, and the cool liquid fell from between her teeth into her mouth, and she swallowed greedily.

"Tracey, be careful, don't choke her, it's just that she has a fever..."

The voice in her ears became more and more blurred, and her consciousness, which had finally been firmed up, collapsed because of her satisfaction.She was plunged into darkness again.

Where are the flowers exuding sweetness, passing through the fence and window screen?Who is singing Romanian ballads, low and shallow, and finally out of order?

Dorothy curled up under the thin sheets, her slightly curly bangs were wet with sweat.The summer sun illuminated the hut majestically, and she was lazy and didn't want to open her eyes.She had a long dream just now, and she recalled it in a daze——she and Gildero used one to clean up, and one flesh and blood to push down a hag, it really was a dream, it was incredible— —they met a vampire again, and Gildero shed a lot of blood, and she...

She touched her neck subconsciously, and the smooth touch made her feel a little relieved—it turned out that it was really a dream, and then, she seemed to remember something. The gentle man's voice must not be as loud as Gilderoy's, oh, what did he say... She couldn't help but frowned, and suddenly felt a warm rough hand on hers forehead, she opened her eyes, puzzled.

"You finally woke up, little girl, do you want some water?"

Dorothy nodded subconsciously. She stared intently at the old wizard, with a pair of very soft gray eyes, soft gray and white hair, and a simple black wizard robe. Although it was stained with dust, it looked the same. tidy.He must be a very kind and kind man, she thought.She sat up, took the water, and gulped it down.

"How about some more pumpkin pie and fresh milk? After sleeping for two days, the little girl must have woken up from hunger!" The old wizard blinked and waved his wand lightly. It was hot and fragrant. The food suddenly appeared in front of Dorothy.However, her attention was all attracted by the old wizard's words - she slept for two days!Her chaotic brain was suddenly emptied, and all the memories of reality rushed in. She grabbed the old wizard's hand in a panic: "You saved us? How is Gildero?"

The old wizard showed a kind expression on his face: "Listen to me while eating, all right, little girl, if you don't eat, you will faint again."

Dorothy's stomach growled in response, she let go of her hand in embarrassment, picked up a piece of pumpkin pie and took a bite.

"My name is Antel, and I'm a wizard who lives near Bran Castle. When I found you, fortunately, the vampire was dead, so I brought you back."

"Already dead?" Dorothy looked at him incredulously, how could it be possible?Obviously at that time, his fangs were about to bite his neck, Gildero was unconscious, and she had no power to restrain the chicken.

"Yes, already dead." Antel said with certainty, he didn't seem to care about the topic, and then said, "You only have bruises on your body, but I don't know why you have been in a coma for two days, and your companion is not optimistic Yeah, he had three broken ribs, a big hole in his chest, bleeding all over the place, but somehow he survived, if it wasn't for this thing—" He pulled out a fingernail-sized object and put it on Dorothy's chest. In front of him, "He will definitely die, the wound is too close to the heart."

Dorothy recognized what it was at a glance—the suitcase that she had shrunk quickly. She held it in her hand and asked anxiously, "How is he doing now?"

"I haven't woken up yet, but so far there are no signs of life-threatening."

Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it.

"By the way, little girl, what's your name?" Antel asked.

"Peach..." The gentle voice suddenly popped up in her mind, and she remembered that he called her by her real name - "Christopher." She changed her words, showing a lively look at Antel smile.

"Christopher—does it mean crystal clear? What a lovely name." The old wizard said approvingly, and he patted her on the head again, "If you eat this whole plate of pumpkin pie, Merlin will also not have the heart to detain you in this small room. Little girl, I have to make medicine for your companion. You can come to me in the first small room on the left at any time. As for your companion, he In the small attic not far away, the air is better there."

"Thank you, Mr. Antle!" Christo couldn't say how happy she was. The moment the old wizard turned around, she swallowed a pumpkin pie in one gulp. She coughed uncomfortably, and immediately began to eat harder. .In fact, Lockhart was still lying on the bed, pale, when she ran nervously to the attic.Christo felt that his hair was not as shiny as before.What an idiot, she murmured in her heart, she hadn't woken up after so long.She touched his hand worriedly, but fortunately, it was still warm. "Get up quickly! Big bastard! The whole world will know your secret!" She yelled at Lockhart in a low voice, looking angrily at his unresponsive face, her lips pouted involuntarily. Get up—she's going to Mr. Antle, she's going to borrow an owl!

In the dilapidated small room, Antel was adding Millet Spathifolia to the crucible, and the light yellow liquid suddenly turned into a bright pink. He had heard Christo's footsteps a long time ago.

"Mr. Antle..." Christo ran in panting.

"Don't worry, Christo, he will wake up soon!" He gave Christo a comforting smile very leisurely.

"No, sir, I just want to borrow your owl." She stared at the cauldron and said absent-mindedly.

"Report to your family that you are safe? Come on, sensible little girl." He took out parchment and a quill from a pile of sundries with his free hand, and blew his whistle softly. A snow-white owl Flying in from the window: "An Qi will be very happy."

Chris opened her mouth too much, she decided that it was better not to speak, she quickly wrote the content on the parchment, and tied it to Angie's paw together with a small bag, she gently stroked the owl After An Qi flew away for a long time, she still stared blankly at the window, but she was not sure whether An Qi understood her words.

"If you're feeling a little bored——" Antel's voice suddenly sounded, "Why don't you put on your gloves and play with herbs, potions are a very interesting thing, at least it's much more fun than being in a daze. I I think you should have learned herbal medicine before, chewed Agrimony to stop bleeding, Christo, you did a great job." He didn't ignore the curious look just now.

Christo felt her ears burning up: "No, no, Mr. Antle, actually I don't know why I did this."

Antle gave her an encouraging look, and continued to stir his potion—the blood tonic for the young man, which he had been suffering for a long time.

Christo walked over excitedly, and she was suddenly attracted by the things on the table.She looked around, moved a small stool, and jumped on it briskly. Her eyes swept back and forth between the neatly placed utensils and herbs on the table, and her sapphire blue eyes became brighter and brighter.She grabbed a handful of dried nettles and dipped them into the water, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, picked out a few pieces of venomous snake teeth, and carefully ground them up.She felt that everything was so handy, as if she had practiced it thousands of times, she was so surprised, looking at the sticky slugs with tentacles, she didn't even feel sick, she put them They were steamed in glass bottles for a while until their original translucent body turned milky white, oh, they can’t continue steaming, or they will be broken, she said to herself in her heart, in fact, her hands had already preceded her His thoughts took down the bottle of worms.

Very good, next - Crucible!She glanced at it and picked the smallest one, but it took her two hands to move it to the flame.If it was a standard No. 1 tin cauldron, she would be able to hold it with one hand, she thought despondently.She poured the water in, put down the dried nettles and ground snake teeth one by one, picked up the large ladle next to it, and gently stirred it around the side of the pot, the liquid suddenly became a little viscous, Light green smoke rose.

Antle couldn't help but turned his head curiously - he had already noticed that when Krystal was soaking in herbs, he could still tell himself that she was a smart little girl, but when he saw Krystal When Stuart sharpened his fangs, he began to feel that his description was too inappropriate.The precise time, the precise dose, the methodical and extremely standard movements, and the initial formation of the perfect potion all made him involuntarily divert his attention, while Christo was immersed in her own world, as if she had no idea what to do. Feel yourself being watched.After she put the slugs and porcupine quills in, the potion also turned a pale green.

Antel applauded softly: "Great!" He said in amazement, "Although I am not good at refining potions, I can see that your technique is very beautiful!"

Christo replied with some embarrassment: "Thank you, I don't know why, I always feel that I should do this, probably because I learned it before I lost my memory."

"No, child, you can't ignore your talent." Antle said seriously, "Not every child in a wizarding family can make such a perfect potion!" Perhaps, this is still an innate ability , Antel didn't say it out, he didn't want his praise to make the little girl complacent.

"Talent?" Christophe's big sapphire blue eyes overflowed with confusion again, and she was eager to know what kind of memory she had lost.However, this confusion lasted for less than three seconds. She suddenly jumped up and grabbed a handful of white fresh food. It was not difficult to hear the reproach in her voice: "Mr. Antle, how can you be so inattentive!" She As he said, he cut Baixian into long strips with a silver knife, "Being distracted during the process of making a potion is far more terrifying than mispronouncing a word while reciting a spell! You don't even know it When will it explode!" The sudden strong smell of banana water in the air made Antel wake up, he turned his head, and immediately saw that the originally peaceful light pink liquid was rolling violently, making a puffing sound!He raised his wand without hesitation.

"Get out of the way!" Christo pulled his arm and successfully deflected his wand. She threw Bai Xian in, and the liquid settled down immediately.She stood on tiptoe to look, then eased her voice and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Antle, I was rude just now."

Antel recovered from the shock: "Ah, it's okay!"

Christo must have a good teacher, he thought.
