[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Christo has been there for half a year, and when she came back, she brought a lot of things, most of which were potions.Cedric wasn't too interested in any of this and couldn't remember much.

"But there are two things, I remember them very clearly. But you have to calm down." Cedric glanced at her before saying, "One is a small silver snake, but the thickness of your index finger, coiled around your wrist, You take it out all day, and it's an eleven-foot snake that's kept in your garden."

"Are you kidding?" Christo looked at him incredulously, "Ernie said that there is a spell on the McMillan Manor, and no snakes can come near it."

Cedric shook his head: "I'm telling the truth. At first, I was surprised how you started to be afraid of snakes after you lost your memory. Before that, you liked them very much. You often fed them and liked to talk to them."

"Snake language?" Christo looked at him strangely.

Cedric smiled: "Of course not, if you can speak Parseltongue, you will never be assigned to Gryffindor."

Christo nodded gloomily, she felt goosebumps all over her body when she thought of herself playing intimately with snakes when she was a child.She rubbed her arm and asked, "Then do you know what happened to my dad's arm?" She thought, she needed to confirm the memory she saw at that time.

Cedric said uncertainly: "It seems to be bitten by that poisonous snake, but after that, your family still has that snake."

Still keep?Christo's eyebrows moved involuntarily. Was her family bewitched?Such a big beast is still kept at home.She thought about it, but couldn't find any reason, so she had to write down the question silently.

Cedric looked at the watch on his wrist: "It's one o'clock in a blink of an eye, are you hungry?"

Christo nodded listlessly. She turned around and screamed, "My potion!" Where there was any potion in the cauldron, all the liquid evaporated, and the flame still licked the bottom of the cauldron. .

Nothing happened the whole morning, and Christo became even more depressed.There was no adult in Digory's family, and according to the usual habit, the two went out.It took about 10 minutes to walk to the Xiaolongya restaurant, and Cedric talked about some trivial things. Christo only felt that he was very considerate, and he didn't say a word about what she was worried about.

The proprietress of Xiaolongya Restaurant is a very kind middle-aged woman, her hair is neatly combed, and her body is slightly fat. When she sees Christo and Cedric come in, she greets them with a loud voice.

"Let me see, Ernie didn't come today." The proprietress gave the two of them a meaningful look. She didn't watch any children in the neighborhood grow up. Although Ernie and Christo rarely came, But she couldn't be more impressed by such a well-behaved blond child.

"Mrs. Maryland, good afternoon." Both Christo and Cedric greeted politely, ignoring what she just said.

"Mashed potatoes, a small black pepper steak, and a glass of lemon juice."

"Yorkshire pudding, a big roast beef, um, a glass of pear juice."

The two found a small corner to sit down and continue chatting.Because it was already past noon, the restaurant seemed a little deserted.Not long after, Mrs. Maryland brought up their order.She sat next to them, with her legs crossed, peeling melon seeds boringly while listening to their conversation.

Mrs. Maryland felt something was wrong when she heard it. The two children were so young, how could they start to reminisce about their lives.She glanced at the faces of the two, and then asked jokingly, "Christo, have you lost your memory?"

Christo nodded helplessly.Mrs. Maryland clapped her hands violently and giggled, "I just said that you two are not as close as you were when you were young." Christo felt her face was hot, why did she do it again.Mrs. Maryland patted her on the shoulder: "Your face is getting thinner. I didn't see you like this when I was young."

Christo stammered and said, "Don't laugh at me when I was ignorant." She secretly raised her eyelids to look at Cedric, and found him sipping pear juice with a faint smile on his lips , as usual.

"I said—Christopher, do you want to retrieve your memory?"

Christo looked at Mrs. Maryland's bright eyes and nodded blankly.

"When you were young, the three of you often came to my place to eat, and I remember a lot." Mrs. Maryland patted her chest, "I don't say I know all about your little shit, and that's no small thing. You still secretly asked me when you were young." I bought a lot of things for you." She blinked her eyes, clearly saying that I am your accomplice.

Chris became more interested for a while, and did not leave in a hurry after eating.However, she soon regretted it.After listening to Cedric's story, Mrs. Maryland discovered the problem very carefully.She said to Christo with a serious face: "Since you want to know the past, why are you so fussy about it? What do you think of with all these intermittent things stuffed into your mind?"

Christo was still hesitating, but Mrs. Maryland had already turned her head and said to Cedric: "I'm sorry to tell you about the two of you, so let me tell you."

With the enthusiastic help of Mrs. Maryland, in just one afternoon, a story about her and Cedric's childhood sweetheart filled Christo's head.At dusk, Cedric offered to take her home, but she ran away.Walking alone on the country lane, she always felt her heart pounding. While thinking about it, she couldn't help but think of what Mrs. Maryland said, and her face burned for a while.

Christo was not without gains from the afternoon's conversation.At least she knew what she bought from Mrs. Maryland—a pile of messy materials, not only potions, but also bottles and jars, trick props, all kinds of things, and she couldn't figure it out for a while. clue.However, Christo still carefully recorded all the things Mrs. Maryland mentioned.In her opinion, her parents loved her so much at that time, and these things were readily available, so why did she ask a restaurant proprietress to help her.

After Christo returned home, she was suddenly blessed. Without resting for a moment, she rushed directly into Ernie's room.Mrs. McMillan happened to see her striding like a meteor, and reprimanded loudly: "Kerry, pay attention to your manners!"

Ernie looked at Christophe in surprise, Mrs. McMillan's nagging was endless, and it was still very powerful through a wall.

"Kerry?"

Christo sat down on his desk, supported the desk with one hand, and dangled his legs, "Brother, are you really not going to tell me?"

Before Ernie could react for a while, a large drop of ink fell from the quill in his hand, "What did you say?"

"It's something that happened when I was a child." Chris blinked more.

Ernie immediately lowered his head and wiped the ink on the ink pot: "No..."

"But I already know that in the summer when my brother was three years old, he fell into a small pond and gnawed on the mud. When he was five years old, he destroyed my mother's most beloved photo album and blamed me. You hate me the most, always complaining to Dad that I was naughty outside..."

Ernie was dumbfounded, where did Keli hear about it!It was not because she dropped her shoe into the small pond that he fell into such a mess when he was a child. It was obvious that she accidentally dropped the potion on it and destroyed his mother's most beloved photo album, and it was he who took the initiative to take the blame; Getting into trouble outside, either by Cedric perjured her or by him as a cover.Where in the wizarding world can one find such a good brother like him?Which shameless villain dared to slander him in front of Keli!

"Stop-stop--" he finally couldn't help shouting.

Christo shut her mouth innocently and looked at him.

Ernie rubbed his head and said after a while, "Don't listen to other people's nonsense in the future."

Christo curled her lips: "You don't want to tell me, and you don't allow me to listen to others, brother, you really don't like me."

Ernie was in a dilemma when suddenly there was laughter.

"Kerry, if you say that again, even Dad will be disappointed."

Ernie breathed a sigh of relief, and Kristol snorted softly.

Mr. MacMillan had come to invite his son and daughter to supper.Mrs. McMillan hadn't caught Christo before, but now that she had the chance, how could she not say it? Chris glanced at her father and at her brother, but both of them ignored her.

After dinner, Mr. Macmillan stopped her again.She was a little puzzled, turned her head to look, and found that her father had a serious face.Ernie was also called.In the study, Mr. MacMillan handed them two newspapers.

Christo saw the photo in the center of the newspaper at a glance, it was a decadent man, only a pair of eyes were still alive on his sunken face, his hair was disheveled, and his skin was as pale as a vampire.She began to read the words in the newspaper: Blake is still at large.Sirius Black, believed to be the most notorious prisoner at Azkaban Castle, is still at large, the Ministry of Magic confirmed today. "We are working hard to recapture Black," Minister for Magic Connelly Fudge said this morning. …

"Dad, can the prisoners in Azkaban escape? Didn't they say that the dementors are guarding the castle?" Ernie asked with a frown.

Christo could only look at her father and brother. This was the second time she heard about Azkaban. The first time was at the end of last semester, where the wronged Hagrid came back from.But she knew about dementors, and it was a surprise that this man named Black could escape from the dementors.She looked down at that face again, and felt that his eyes were not vicious at all, and she didn't know why he was put in prison.

"It is not clear how he got out, but there is no doubt that he is a very dangerous figure. I am afraid that you may encounter him in the next day."
