【Yo Deng】Badger and Snake

Leaving, Yu took off his black robe and put it on the woman, "Won't Slytherin have any objections?"

"I have observed that there is no suitable chairman candidate for the next Slytherin. And what if they have opinions? Now I am in charge." Qihai accepted the girl's kindness, buried her head in the collar of her robe, deeply Take a breath.This move made the girl blush, and she wrung her hands: "Is it really okay for the president of the student union to be like this?"

"Did I promise Slytherin anything?" Qihai raised her face with a smile, the blush on her face was still not dissipated, and she looked extraordinarily attractive, "I have given a lot of benefits that should be given, and the next student council president will also It’s not for me to decide alone.”

"Okay." Knowing that she couldn't talk to her, the girl couldn't help changing the subject, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Qihai Dengzi responded, stood still in front of the castle gate, drew out a willow wand, and added a hibiscus-colored fox-fur robe for the girl out of thin air.

"A gift for you," she looked at the petite figure beside her tenderly, "Merry Christmas, Yuu."

"Thank you." The girl lowered her face slightly and buried it in the soft down.

Qihai put her arms around her waist, and the two walked slowly on the snowy path like this.

"I'm interviewing at the Ministry of Magic next week," she said suddenly. "The target is the Department of Law Enforcement."

"Is it your sister's suggestion?" Yuu looked sideways at her.

"Yes," Qihai nodded, "She thinks that with Hermione Granger around, the Department of Legal Enforcement has a promising future."

You leaned on her again: "You will be fine, senior."

"Thank you," Qihai smiled confidently, "I think so too."

After taking office, what she did at Hogwarts—changed the four sorting tables into mixed court tables, officially launched Quidditch club activities, held many mixed house activities and competitions, and even applied for the improvement of the College Cup mechanism ——It has already spread to many people through the students at school.Nanami Mio took the opportunity to sort out her information and recommended her to her boss, Hermione Granger, which gave her the opportunity for this interview.

She understands what her actions mean, and she clearly knows where she should go. What's more, she has the driving force that drives all this and makes her firmly believe that this future is possible-the girl beside her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the girl more tenderly, making the girl look away shyly: "You always see what I do..."

Qihai laughed happily: "I like you."

"...Thank you," Yu whispered, "I like you too."

While speaking, she stuffed a beautifully wrapped small gift box into Qi Hai's hands: "Merry Christmas, senior."

"Wow!" Qihai exclaimed a little, "Thank you, Yuu!"

"Why are you so surprised, don't you think I'm unprepared?" Yoo joked while watching her unwrap the gift box.

"For a moment, I really thought you forgot." Qihai laughed; she took out a silver mechanical watch from the palm-sized gift box.The background of the watch is the dark blue starry sky, and the hands are slender, moving among the faintly twinkling stars.

The gift giver pulled out his cedar wood wand, tapped the surface of the watch lightly, and the dial fluctuated like water ripples, and then——

A three-dimensional starry sky was projected above the two of them.

Qihai stared at the thumb-sized, rotating earth bewilderedly, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but it was in vain.

After a while, she finally recovered the words she had lost: "This...how did you do it?"

"I combined a Muggle star projector with a wristwatch," Yu smiled slyly, "How about it, do you like it?"

"I like it!" Qihai nodded desperately, and immediately put the watch on her hand.

The projected starry sky continued to turn, she pulled the girl to sit down on the wooden bench beside the path, and curiously adjusted the knob next to the mechanical watch; the stars gradually became smaller and gathered, and then formed a small string of silver characters—— "I love you".

"I love you, Dengzi." Just at this time, Koito Yu whispered in her ear.

She turned her head in surprise and joy, and saw the girl's shy but determined face——

What else could she do?

The snowflakes are fluttering, and the kiss continues.

The 2015 Christmas party was even bigger than last year's, but Yuu Koito did not attend.She was nestled in a warm armchair in the basement of Hufflepuff, with a short and succinct acceptance letter in front of her:

Dear Ms. Koito:

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted as an ad hoc flying teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The term of office will begin on September 2016, 9. A list of credentials required for reporting is enclosed.

principal

Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall

"You don't look very happy," Maki Seiji walked around the armchair and came to her, "You're hired, isn't it good?"

"It's just a 'temporary professor'." You rolled up the notice and let out a long breath. "It will take a lot of effort to become a full-time professor."

"Mrs. Huo Qi likes you so much, she will pave the way for you before you retire." Seiji Maki watched her stand up with a smile, and poured two glasses of butter beer at the long communal table.

"Thank you." Maki took the butter beer and took a sip, feeling his whole body warmed up, "Why didn't you go to the Christmas ball? I heard that Shaker prepared a lot of fun. Just waiting for this notice ?"

"I don't like that kind of occasion, you know." Koito Yu held a butter beer and stared out of the window quietly; above the ground was still the familiar snow scene, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Lonely?" Maki Seiji smiled and came to her side, putting his right hand into his pocket.

The orange-haired girl glanced at him, her face flushed a little from the warmth of the butter beer: "I didn't..."

"People who are not lonely will not show such an expression," Seiji Maki said with a smile in his eyes, "The Ministry of Magic is so busy that there is no holiday even for Christmas?"

Yu was not annoyed when he saw through what was in her heart, she just held the cup tightly in her palm: "She...in the first year, she said she would have to work overtime."

"How long has it been?" Maki Seiji slowed down his voice.

"...Two months." Yu put her arms on the window, "She's too busy..."

"No matter how busy you are, you won't forget what day it is today," Maki explained what she was thinking, "You are actually waiting for her owl, aren't you?"

"...Mmm." Yu lowered her head, her face was vaguely lonely, "I sent her an owl this morning, but there is no reply yet."

"It's only 55:[-]," Seiji Maki looked at the grandfather clock in the basement, "Maybe her owl's footsteps are just a little slower..."

While speaking, he casually looked out the window, and found that there seemed to be something undulating on the edge of the sky.

"...What's that?" He narrowed his eyes, and Koito put the butter beer aside, and opened the window.

"——It's a snowy owl!" After looking at the object, Yu exclaimed in surprise, "It seems to be coming this way——"

It was indeed a snowy owl.The snow-covered feathers made it very inconspicuous in the snow, but Yu still caught its figure.After flying a little bit closer to the basement window, the snowy owl crossed the snow slope with well-trained square steps, poked its head into the room, and howled twice clearly at You.

Seiji Maki watched with a smile as the girl untied the envelope from Snowy Owl with trembling hands, and then couldn't wait to open it for inspection.He carefully observed the change of expression on the girl's face, and found that the girl gave a "huh" in extreme surprise.

"What's wrong?" Maki stretched her neck curiously.

"No words..." Yu shook the blank parchment, and something the size of a thumb fell out.She picked up the small thing from the ground, and found that it was an hourglass carved with delicate patterns, and the purple quicksand inside flowed with the shaking.

"What is this?" Yu turned to the snowy owl, not even sure if it was sent by her lover.And the snowy owl let out a clear cry, folded its wings, and stabbed its beak fiercely at Maki Seiji's hand stretched towards the hourglass——

"—Ouch!" the boy yelled, "I just want to see it!"

"It seems that it doesn't like you very much." Yuu smiled and rubbed the hourglass, stroking the snowy owl's back; and Seiji Maki retracted into the armchair, muttering softly: "This is definitely sent by that woman— —”

——Ding, boom——

Hufflepuff's grandfather clock struck.

After the bell that symbolized seven o'clock fell, Maki Seiji opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was surprised to find that the armchair opposite was empty.

The familiar hooking sensation came from behind the navel, and Koito closed her eyes involuntarily.When her feet touched the ground, she staggered and stabilized her balance—the temperature plummeted and the surrounding scenery changed completely. She stood on the wide stone steps, and there was a line of words she didn’t know on the two-person high door in front of her. Standing was a white-bearded old man in a silver robe.

"Welcome to the Scurasson Mansion, Miss Koito." The old man bowed and said in unproficient English: "It's cold outside, please come inside."

"Where is this?" Yoo followed him into the door, somewhat guessing in his mind; as expected, the old wizard replied respectfully: "The Skurazon mansion is located in Akureyri in the north of Iceland, miss."

Squeezing the hourglass in his hand that was the port key that sent her here, Yuu smiled and shook his head: "Senior Qihai is here, right?"

"Yes, Miss Qihai is waiting for you in the restaurant." The old wizard said with a smile on his face.

The restaurant is located on the second floor. It is a small square hall, connected to the spacious balcony outside by floor-to-ceiling windows.As soon as the girl stepped into the restaurant, she received a very warm welcome—a little ice dragon about one person tall, which she had only seen in photos, pounced on her, scaring her back again and again, and one accidentally fell to the ground: "Wow!"

"Gina!"

A gentle scold came from behind the ice dragon, the girl raised her head, and the black-haired woman in a royal blue robe bumped into her eyes.

"Senior..." she murmured, as if she was fixed in place by the beauty of the other party.Qihai Dengzi shrugged off her shoulders, smiled and drove away the little ice dragon, and stretched out her hand to the girl: "Sorry, Yu, I surprised you."

"...you were the one who said you were going to work overtime, but you got me here with a portkey?" Koito Yuu stood up with strength, and complained mercilessly: "This place, and your outfit What's going on again?"

"I want to give you a surprise," Qihai hugged the girl tightly, "This is my father's friend's mansion, and I just borrowed it tonight."

Once the skins touched, all the sorrows accumulated when they couldn't see each other turned into a thousand kinds of sourness, which made the girl raise her hands and hugged her waist tightly: "Senior... I miss you very much."

"I miss you too." The woman sighed in her ear, then rubbed her soft shaggy temple hair, lifted her face, and placed a kiss on her lips.

After a few kisses, Qi Hai let go of her hand and led her to the balcony: "Have you eaten yet?"

Yu nodded, his eyes still lingering on the woman.She watched the other party pull out the willow wand, added a silver-white windproof robe for the two, and asked a little puzzled: "Where are we going?"

"Yes," Qihai smiled and pointed to Gina who was lying on the ground aggrieved, "Let's ride the ice dragon."

"Ride, ride——" Yu opened her mouth in amazement, and Qihai, who was caught by the opportunity, kissed again: "Woo, uh... alright!" She pushed the woman away in embarrassment, "You man How do you think it's a one-off!"

"How could I!" Qihai looked more aggrieved than Gina, "I obviously planned it all!"

"Oh?" Yuo smelled something unusual from it, "So this is your Christmas present for me? Get me to Iceland to ride an ice dragon?"

"You don't like it?" Qihai carefully took her hand.

"Happiness." Looking at Qihai's pretending to be pitiful, Yu couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.

"That's it!" The woman laughed happily, and led the girl to Gina's side, "You step on the pedals here, so..."

Under her guidance, Yu stabilized his body safely and soundly.Qihai then rolled over behind her, passed her hands under the girl's armpit, and held the rein: "Let's go, Gina."

The little ice dragon seemed to be proficient in human language, took a few quick steps, and then spread its wings amidst Yu's exclamation, and jumped out from the open-air balcony——

They are flying.Under the influence of the Windproof Curse, the supposedly biting cold wind turned into a refreshing icy feeling, in stark contrast to the warmth of the people behind him.The sky full of stars seems to be at your fingertips, changing constantly with the change of flight angle, which is dazzling.

"Like it?"

In the hunting wind, Qihai put her lips next to her ear again.

"I like it!" Yu rubbed her face, "Thank you, senior."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Qi Hai chuckled and adjusted the direction of the rein, "Let's go, there is a place I want to show you."

The lights of Wanjia passed by below, and gradually became sparse; the color of the sky began to change, and a dazzling band of light appeared on the boundary line between the mountain and the sky, gradually changing from pink purple to emerald green, filling most of the sky——

"...Aurora..." After whispering to himself, Yu turned his head excitedly, "Senior, look quickly, it's Aurora!"

"I know," Qihai looked at her with a smile, "it's Aurora."

Gina hovered in the air for a while, and then landed on a hill that was not covered by trees.

"You said that you wanted to come to Iceland to see the aurora on your graduation trip, remember?" Nanami kissed her gently on the cheek, "I've always wanted to achieve it, but I'm too busy with work to spare time to travel with you... that's all I can do gone."

"It's enough," Yuo squeezed her hand, "I'm very happy, really."

Qihai stared at her deeply: "Then, do you mind if I make you happy?"

Noticing the unusual solemnity in the woman's tone, Yu couldn't help becoming nervous: "...What do you mean?"

She watched Qihai reach into the robe a little clumsily, and subconsciously held her breath.

"I, I bought this with my salary," Qihai began to stammer, "I guess this brand is okay, because I saw its advertisement in a Muggle magazine..."

She pulled out a red velvet box.

Yu took a step back and looked at her without blinking.

Under the reflection of the aurora, the blush on the brunette's face was so obvious.Her senior seemed to be unsure whether to open the box first or to pose first, and after taking several breaths, she slowly bowed her right knee and knelt on one leg.

"Miss Koito," she opened the box with trembling hands, and held it up in front of the girl, "Would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?"

Inside the box, a ring with a diamond the size of a fingernail was sparkling.

Koito Yu covered her mouth, feeling an instant urge to cry.

"I haven't graduated yet, senior." She trembled.

"Then I have to make a reservation first." Her senior said firmly.

"My parents don't know about us yet."

"I will accompany you to see them in the New Year."

"You just worked..."

"Granger is a good boss, I won't be affected."

"I……"

"Yu," Qihai Dengzi interrupted her, looking scared and anxious, "Do you like me?"

"You..." Tears rolled down Yu's cheeks, "Of course I like what you said..."

"Then, why are you crying?" Qi Hai stood up helplessly, wanting to move forward, but dared not.

"I don't know..." Yu lowered his head and wiped his eyes, "I don't know..."

After a while, Qihai approached her, pulled down her left hand which was covering her face, and gently slipped the diamond ring into her ring finger.The girl trembled, but did not break free.

"Don't be afraid, Yu," she said, "I love you."

"I also... love you." Yuu responded with choked up sobs.

"That's enough," Qihai hugged her gently, "That's enough."

No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, we will overcome them together.

—So fear not, my love.

The time to weep is far from coming.
