[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Fast forward a week and the holidays are upon us.

Christophe and Ernie returned home.However, this year McMillan's house is really deserted. Mr. McMillan has already sent a letter back, and he may have to go home after Christmas.

Christo just felt very depressed.Mrs. McMillan simply took a pair of children to Edinburgh for a trip, and did not return until the eve of Christmas Eve.

Lockhart's book launch is scheduled for Christmas Eve.The next day, it was snowing heavily, but there were guests visiting the McMillan Manor.Trish was led to the flower hall by the house elf Jasmine, and she politely exchanged greetings with Mrs. McMillan for a while, before the well-dressed Christo came out.

"Gidero is too busy to leave now, let me come here to pick you up." She stretched out her hand and scraped the bridge of Christo's nose politely.

Christo realized what day it was.Mrs. McMillan hurriedly asked Jasmine to get a thick scarf for Keli, and Trish cast a warming spell on Krisdo.Ernie decided to stay with Mrs. McMillan who was alone at home, and Christo left with Tracy alone.

As usual, it was Lihen Bookstore.Obviously, the weather was so cold that people wished they could huddle together, but the bookstore was crowded with people and it was very lively.Tracy took Christo into the bookstore through the back door.Lockhart tidied up his appearance on the second floor, and saw Keri and Tracy entering the door at a glance from the tall and long mirror.

"Finally here—" He turned around, allowing Christo to easily jump into his arms.

Christo hugged him and rubbed him vigorously, the fireplace in the room made him very warm.

"Okay—it's not like we won't be seeing each other for a while." Tracy joked beside her, "If you don't go down, you will miss the previously announced time."

Christo quickly let go, and Lockhart picked up his wizard hat and strode downstairs. He suddenly turned around and winked at Christo, "You will also appear later."

Christo was pulled to the chair by Tracy, and Tracy smoothed her loose hair with her slender fingers. She teased, "See, he didn't even notice that his brooch was crooked just now."

After inquiring about Tracy, Christo found out that she was going down to be a witness.Lockhart revealed in his new book that it is based on a true story.

After dealing with the Prophet reporter, Christo hid in a corner just like last year.She firmly believes that how dazzling this moment is, how heavy the love letter she will pass on to the students of Hogwarts will be.

"Hey, why are you squatting here?" A dissatisfied voice came from above.

Christo raised her head slightly, but the other party bent down, "What are you looking at?" He asked.

""The Great Alchemy Product"." Christo flipped the book to the cover and glanced at it.

"It's really crowded here." The man barely stood up straight.

Christo closed the book, "Squeeze you and still get in?" She supported the bookshelf and stood up, her head almost hitting the other person's chest.She casually inserted the book into the gap between the books, "Shall we go out?" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, she could only raise her head reluctantly, "Draco, do you still want to stay here?"

"I'm trying to figure out how to get out." Draco's embarrassed voice was almost drowned out by loud cheers.

Compared with the bookstore, the street is much deserted.

The snow was a little weaker than it was in the morning, spinning leisurely in the air, and then lightly falling on the hair and shoulders of pedestrians.

"Don't tell me, you're also Gildero's fan?" Christo teased, and a milky white translucent mist overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Passing by, I saw the banner outside, guess you might be there."

Christo was taken aback, "Are you here to find me?"

Draco seemed to be attracted by the new fireworks in the Bouncy Magic Joke Shop, and Kristall could only see his profile. "I'm just guessing. After all, you have a good relationship with Professor Lockhart. I think, if I meet you, I'll invite you to Malfoy Manor for Christmas."

Chris laughed loudly: "Mr. Malfoy, you should pay more attention to keep warm in cold weather."

Draco turned his head suddenly: "Go or not?"

Christo was taken aback for a moment, and a snowflake suddenly fell under her eyelids.Before she had time to brush it away, Draco had already taken off his gloves, and his warm fingers swiftly and as if dodging.

Chris blinked.Draco had put on his gloves and put his hands in the pockets of his robes.He raised his head high and looked straight at the road ahead, "Hey, what do I ask you, should we go or not?"

Christo suddenly came back to her senses, always feeling something weird.But she didn't hesitate at all, "Thank you for the invitation, but Dad won't come back for Christmas, so I want to stay at home with Mom."

"Oh." Draco said.

The two of them wandered aimlessly along the streets, complaining about the potion homework during the holiday.After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, the two turned back to Lihen Bookstore. "I'm going home, Merry Christmas," Draco said.

"Merry Christmas." Christophe replied casually, Draco turned around, and his lonely figure became smaller and smaller in the street, and was finally covered by the wind and snow.Kristo frowned inexplicably, turned around and went back to the bookstore.

Trish was leaning against the bookshelf, looking at her with a smile. "Another handsome boy."

Christo glared at her.

"That's fine, I don't want you to be with Digory, I'll be very troubled." Tracy brushed her long hair from her ears back to her shoulders, and she put her arms around Christo's shoulders, emerald green The big eyes looked at Christo without blinking, "No, do you really like him?"

Christine thought for a while and said, "He treats me very well." She turned her head again, frowning as if she was thinking of something to say.

Lockhart came out, "What are you thinking?" He rubbed Christophe's bangs.

Tracy said, "Just now I saw little Malfoy sending Kerry back..."

Lockhart couldn't help laughing: "My little Kelly is really cute."

The snowy night was cold, but both the wizarding world and the Muggle world had a strong atmosphere.There are all kinds of Christmas trees outside the shops on the street, and the colorful lights illuminate the white snow brilliantly.

The three dined at a wizarding restaurant hidden in the Muggle world.

Lockhart was eager to try, and proposed to check Chris's memory more.

Christo moved the chair and sat across from him, and Lockhart inspected it solemnly.After tossing and tossing for a long time, he was willing to give up, "It's strange, it's like a piece of chocolate, and a piece was knocked off in the middle."

Chris gave him a blank look: "Look, what's the difference between what you said and Professor Snape?"

Lockhart said dissatisfied: "The difference is that I will find out why!"

Christo looked in disbelief.

Lockhart said to Tracy: "Tracey, why don't you check for Keri too?" Tracy is a vampire, and vampires are good at hypnosis, and tampering with other people's memories is almost a natural ability of their race.

Tracy shook her head: "I'll forget it, I don't want Keli to despise me."

Christo bit the small dessert after dinner, and lowered her head: "I guess I can only wait for a sudden flash of inspiration one day, hey, I wish I could go back to the past." She suddenly raised her head, "That's right! I'm on vacation A few days ago, Professor Trelawney gave me a fortune-telling! But she refused to tell me the result."

"That's because Professor Trelawney was at odds with your mother before."

"Tracey, why do you know everything?" Christo looked at her in surprise.

Trish pretended to be sad, "Who made me older than Hogwarts."

Christine was stunned, and the cream on the dessert rubbed onto the tip of her nose. She hurriedly pulled a tissue and wiped it again and again, "7 of spades, 2 of diamonds, J of clubs, I'm still free, I'm asking where is the memory, Cui Do you know what it means?"

Tracy read and recited in her mouth, Cui Se's eyes suddenly became dark.

"7 of spades, it is magic that takes away your memory, 2 of diamonds, communication, the absence prevents you from touching the truth, J of clubs, J of clubs, it turns out to be J of clubs..." She frowned and sighed, Christo And Lockhart looked at her in surprise.She quickly regained her senses, "I'm not sure, please give me some time, I need to verify, as for Kong..." She was stunned again, and buried her head in deep thought.

"Yes, yes, it should be like this, I need to verify it."

Christo looked at her nervously: "Can you get it back?"

At this moment, Tracy didn't see her usual ease at all, she shook her head, "I don't know, I don't know..."

Lockhart put his hand on the back of hers: "Don't worry."

Tracy suddenly became quiet, two dimples appeared on her plain cheeks, "Look at what I'm doing? I can't wait to know the truth!" She propped her chin and winked at Chris Blinking, "Maybe, after you recover your memory, I can gossip again."

Christo looked at her depressedly, and said firmly, "Tracey, you are an old man older than Hogwarts, can't you behave a little bit in line with your age?"

Tracy was in a dilemma: "But people have never experienced what they should experience after the age of 30." Her eyes were bright, "But you can completely trust me to solve the mystery of divination. I have played more poker than you. More mashed potatoes ever!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lockhart and Tracey sent Christo back to McMillan Manor.

Mrs. McMillan took her daughter's shoulders and walked slowly from the gate of the manor to the flower hall.It was the first snowfall, and the mother and daughter stepped on the snow step by step.

"Mom—" Christo hesitated to speak, she was vaguely uneasy about the coming memory.

Mrs. McMillan lowered her head slightly, "Does Keli miss Dad? He's fine, and Da Diao sent a letter before dinner, waiting for you to come back, and it hasn't been opened yet."

Krista showed off her face: "Okay."

But she couldn't help holding Mrs. McMillan's skirt tightly.

The author has something to say: ah ah ah QUQ! ! ! !Finally finished writing!I haven't written for a long time, my hands are raw!
