[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Christo lay alone on the bed in a daze.Why are mom and dad unwilling to tell her?And Momo——the day after she returned to McMillan Manor after her resurrection, why did Momo hit the wall when she talked about her father's hand?The last time she encountered a basilisk, the image that suddenly flashed in her mind, the man whose arm was bitten off by a boa constrictor was clearly her father, but why did Ernie tell her that there had never been any snakes in the manor?

Dong dong dong, someone knocked on the door, "Kerry—" the person outside the door called.

Christo jumped up like a carp, trotted forward and opened the door, she blinked, a little puzzled: "Dad?"

Mr. McMillan stretched out his hand and rubbed her bangs: "Why, you don't even want to see your father anymore?"

Christo shook her head quickly.Mr. MacMillan took her by the hand and walked slowly towards the balcony.Outside the window is the starry sky, and the summer night is quiet and beautiful.

"Tell me about the chamber of secrets."

Chris nodded more and spoke eloquently, carefully considering her words and sentences, but when it came to the scene of killing Voldemort, she couldn't find any reason to cover it up.She could tell Professor Dumbledore that it was an ancient spell passed down by McMillan, but how would she explain it to Dad?

She faltered for a long while before she said, "I sneaked to the restricted area of ​​the library before, and secretly learned ancient runes and black magic. When I was in the secret room, I tried the death curse, and finally used Fiercefire The curse burned it. Dad, I only learn those things because I like them, and I..."

Mr. McMillan waved his hand.Christo looked at him, only felt that his smile was kind and showed no objection.

"Kerry, what do you think of the mysterious man? What about Professor Dumbledore?"

Keli lowered her head, clearly one is a bad guy and the other is a good guy.

"Then do you think the mysterious man can use white magic? Does Professor Dumbledore use black magic?"

"Yes." Christo said with certainty.

Mr. McMillan nodded: "It's good to know. So don't give up, Keli, you are a good boy, Dad believes in you." Christo looked at him in surprise: "Do you mean that you support me in learning black magic? "

"I just hope that you can protect yourself, Keli. Mom and Dad can't be with you all the time."

Christo was taken aback suddenly, only feeling that there was sadness in her father's words.She took a closer look, but her father was looking out the window, and she couldn't see his expression.

"Father hopes that you will also learn white magic well. The grandparents in the attic like you very much. If you don't understand, you can ask them." There was a sudden tease in his tone, "As for your mother, it's best not to look for it. She. Well, Dad can tell you in secret, your mother wants you to find a good young man now."

Christo asked in astonishment, "Is mom serious?"

"If you don't believe it, Kelly, you can try it." Mr. McMillan looked at her narrowly.Christo was depressed for a moment.

With Mr. McMillan's words, Christo went to her father's study to move books the next morning.Mr. MacMillan had prepared several volumes for her to study for herself.

The portraits in the attic appear to have been consulted with Mr. MacMillan.As soon as Chris appeared, they introduced their areas of expertise one by one.

Christo sat on the rocking chair and read a book, asking a few questions from time to time, and the portraits explained it to her in detail.During the break, Christo also asked the portraits what happened back then, but they didn't know about it.

"You were not cute when you were young, and you always felt that we were all old monsters. We almost never came to the attic, how did we know about your situation." Great-grandmother complained.

Great-grandmother teased her: "One thing is true, you have tormented us a lot since we were young."

Christo didn't understand: "I don't even come here very often, why bother you?"

"You and your brother are twins, and they were born with difficulty. You are a naughty little one, and you refuse to cry when you come out. You scared your parents. Fortunately, all the doctors in St. Mungo's are really good at it. You were saved. You grew up to five years old and never had any magic power fluctuations. Everyone almost thought you were a squib, but Pais refused to believe it. She visited potion masters everywhere to make potions for you. When you were seven years old , only to realize that you have long been able to use magic to direct the cauldron, funnel, glass rods, etc. for making potions, in order. After another two years, you actually stepped into the coffin with both feet. Pai Si was out of shape within a month. Gu Li, Chloe suddenly aged ten years, and Ernie, a child with a bad temper, stayed with the gravekeeper for a month. By the way——and your little bamboo horse, when he came to express his condolences, his eyes were red, I didn't say a word. Besides last semester, Hogwarts suddenly sent a letter saying that you were missing, do you think you are torturing people?"

Christo remained silent, and she couldn't control her own life and death. In the final analysis, it was obviously her fate.Maybe that's why everyone loves her so much.

"In the future, I will be careful."

An old man with at least ten generations suddenly opened his mouth: "It's good to know, take advantage of this summer vacation and learn everything you can, so as not to be embarrassing outside and annoy us."

Christo had no choice but to open the book obediently.

After a few days, it was time to visit Diggory's house.Christo would bet that it must be her mother who insisted on keeping her brother at home.She had to go to Cedric alone.

Mr Diggory worked for the Department of Magical Creatures Regulation and Control at the Ministry of Magic, so Cedric was the only one in the family.

Seeing Christo coming alone, Cedric was also a little surprised.But he quickly recovered his usual expression, and took Christo to the small shed in the small garden of the house, where Christo's potion materials and tools were kept.

Christo was brewing potions in the middle of the room, while Cedric sat by the window and read a book.Christo prepared the materials according to the steps in the book, and put them into the crucible three times.The potion she was learning was not troublesome, she just had to wait quietly for it to pass the time.

As soon as she was free, she quietly looked at Cedric, only to think that he was very fair-skinned, with a high nose bridge, clear and handsome side profile, and black hair and black eyes, which made him very beautiful.Holding the yellowed pages between his fingers, he looked even whiter and slender.

"Would you like something to drink?" He turned his head suddenly, and Christo was caught off guard, and was stunned for a moment before realizing what he said. "A glass of iced lemon tea?" she said sheepishly.

He immediately stood up and put down the closed book.He said: "Wait a minute." As soon as he went out, Christo sat back on the stool in a daze, listening to the tone of the family, it seemed that she and Cedric had a very good relationship before, could you ask him...

But she couldn't pull it off.She knew in her heart that there was something hidden in the conversation between Ernie and her mother. It must be that she saw Cedric was beautiful and small when she was a child, so she said nonsense.If she asked these questions, she would be ashamed.

She hesitated left and right, and didn't even notice that Cedric came in. It wasn't until he handed the cup in front of her and shook it a few times before she realized that she took it slowly, lowered her head, and bit the cup mouth.

Cedric pulled a chair and sat down next to her: "Be careful that your potion is overcooked."

"It doesn't matter, it will take an hour for the first time." Christo said absently.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about what to tell you."

Cedric was surprised, seeing Master Christo frowning, and couldn't help laughing: "Just say it."

"How can I say it directly, in case..." She raised her head suddenly, looking into Cedric's smiling eyes, regretful.Cedric withdrew his smile and said solemnly, "Just say it straight."

After being awkward for a long while, Chris said, "Can you tell me about my childhood? It's about my childhood, just tell me about me, don't tell me anything else." She repeated and emphasized, Seth How could Derek fail to understand, seeing her frowning slightly, her big eyes looking around, biting her lips, she looked annoyed, very cute, he couldn't help but tease: "This is difficult, of course there are things I know Why do I only talk about you?"

When Christo heard this, her expression changed again and again. It happened that the timer alarm clock rang. She let out a soft cry, put down the cup, and started busy adding the second batch of potion ingredients to the cauldron.She dawdled, weighing in her heart whether she should listen cheekily, but unfortunately the brewed potion didn't give her extra time, so she seized the last moment and hurriedly finished all the preparations.

"You said—" She turned around and pretended to look at him indifferently.

Cedric asked, "You want to know when?"

Christo thought for a moment: "Let's start with the fact that you know me."

When Cedric first met Christo, she was only five years old, and she was almost spoiled by the McMillan family. Fortunately, Mr. McMillan was well disciplined, and Christo's temper was only mild-tempered. A bit spoiled and arrogant.The situation at that time was seen by Christo when Voldemort was in Legilimency, and this paragraph was skipped directly.

What impressed Cedric the most was the love Christo received. If she wanted something, the McMillans almost always took it tenfold.Although Ernie complained that his parents were biased, in private, he treated Christo, his sister, very kindly.

Mr. McMillan is a businessman who travels all over the world.When Christophe was six years old, Mr. McMillan happened to be going to Albania.At that time, Christo had already started learning potions for half a year, and she liked it so much. When she heard Albania, she thought of the precious and rich potions in the forest, and pestered Mr. McMillan to take her there.

Mr. McMillan frightened Christo several times, but in the end Ernie was scared to tears. Christo was eager to try, which made Mrs. McMillan feel that her girl had cast herself as her daughter by mistake.Mr. McMillan couldn't beat her, and it happened that the rest of the companions were also extremely good wizards, so Mr. McMillan softened his heart.
