Chapter 15 Aftermath (2)

By the time Gryffindor got out of bed with a splitting headache, it was already the second day after the Christmas holiday - at noon on December 12th.Slytherin and Ravenclaw refused to provide him with a decanter, and Hufflepuff never objected to these two, especially the former's decision.So the head of Gryffindor was absent from work for two days. When he reappeared in the hall, he attracted a lot of surprised or puzzled eyes.

Dark circles under the eyes, crumpled robes, a hat with a pointed peak that meets the back of the head but hangs magically on the head, and blond hair curled up under the brim of the hat, the current appearance of Gryffindor is really hard to make people have any good associations. .The students murmured that, given his gender and his usual behavior, he was fooling around and drinking heavily and insisted that he had another "unofficial skirmish" with the goblin for the time being.

"Godric, are you okay?" Hufflepuff stopped whispering to Slytherin and asked worriedly.

Godric slipped his hand, and the knife split the steak in half, making a sharp sizzle on the china.To think of what he thought of Slytherin, Hufflepuff's husband, made him feel sorry for his loyal and kind friend.And what makes him even more guilty is that he can't even put "was" in front of that thought.In the past few days, he has been lying in the room in a daze, and every minute he understands more clearly that he has not withdrawn his emotions because of this marriage.All his pain was because the marriage might turn Slytherin against him.The feeling made him almost afraid to meet Hufflepuff's gentle brown eyes.

"Godric, listen to me." Hufflepuff frowned lightly, "We've known each other for a long time, and we both believed in you. Salazar told me this morning. We both know it wasn't your fault, You don't have to do this..."

Gryffindor looked up so suddenly that she stopped.

"Godric," Slytherin said, giving Hufflepuff a reassuring look, holding her hand, and throwing a few anti-tapping spells, "I know you're in love with Baroness Andrea, but that's not you No fault, you didn't know she was married at the time."

Gryffindor stood there in bewilderment, listening to Slytherin continue talking to himself.

"Of course, that lady didn't mean to lie to you. There are some things that hinder her. Things within the family are often very complicated. She also feels sorry, and she will never tell her husband about it. Godric, do you understand?"

Gryffindor lowered his head stiffly, staring at the plate, and said hoarsely, "You, me, things like this..."

"You don't have to do this, Godric, you are not wrong," Slytherin stopped Hufflepuff who was about to speak with his eyes, and said, "We are friends, I have always trusted you, in the past, now, and in the future Yes. Time will make you forget her gradually, and you will find someone better than her."

"We're still friends, aren't we?" Godric finally calmed down, with obvious expectations in his tone.

"Of course Godric, you're my best friend," Slytherin replied.

Gryffindor sat quietly for a while, and Ravenclaw watched the scene with raised eyebrows, intuitively knowing that something was wrong.

"I see." Godric concluded with a bitter tone.

"I have something to discuss with you, Salazar." Godric stopped after just a few cuts, "I'm going to get a sword from the goblin."

"Are you kidding me, Godric, are you going to risk your own life?" Ravenclaw threw down his fork angrily, "Look at you today, you look like a sailor full of rum! As a friend I won't let you..."

"What do you say, Salazar?" Godric interrupted her aggressively.

"I'm fine with that," said the Slytherin wearily, propping his elbows and resting his forehead with crossed fingers.

"Very well, I'm leaving tomorrow."Godric grinned loudly, pushed the chair away and left the hall.

There was an uneasy silence at the table.

"There is still class in the afternoon, I want to go back and rest for a while, sorry." Slytherin put down the knife and fork, got up and walked to the cellar.

Ravenclaw watched in amazement as the two left the table one after another, sighed, and turned to Hufflepuff.

"Helga, can you tell me what happened to Godric? Salazar and him are really weird."

"Of course, it was Salazar who told me this morning. At Christmas, little Black sneaked to the ball, and Godric wanted to sneak to the ball too. The Malfoy's ball is very famous. He met Andrea there." Baroness, and then... You know, Godric has always been careless and doesn't understand the nobles, and I don't really know. He thought the lady wasn't married, so he, uh, went with She confessed, and later Godric was devastated when the baroness told him she was married."

"Godric confessed to a married woman?" Ravenclaw repeated in disbelief.

"Salazar said it wasn't his fault, he said it was complicated and the lady wasn't wearing the ring."

In the corridor, Slytherin caught up with Gryffindor, who had gone first.At this time, most of the people gathered in the hall, and there was no one in the corridor.Gryffindor kept trying to shake him off, and the two walked quickly one after the other.

"Godric, I hope you postpone the departure date." Slytherin stopped him with a few steps, and cast a few anti-tapping spells at the same time.

"I can't wait to get that sword back, I don't want to wait a day."

"At least until the impact of this period of time passes, I don't want you to have an accident."

"You don't want anything to happen to me? Ha!" Gryffindor laughed mockingly.

"I know what you're thinking. Lots of bed partners, nothing, sleeping with pretty boys, and it's just a little flirtatious. But once you're serious with a guy, it's dirty, immoral idiots. You purebloods, these Damn nobles are the same, you don't consider me a friend at all!" Gryffindor pushed him away and shouted loudly.

"Godric, you know I..." Slytherin tried to calm him down.

"Why didn't you tell me you were married a long time ago!" Gryffindor asked loudly angrily, looking at Slytherin's pale face proudly.

"I...you are not someone who can keep secrets." He replied stiffly.

Gryffindor walked away without hesitation.

"You've got a lover," he hummed singing as he walked. "They're all pretty, and you don't like Helga that much either."

Godric had gradually moved away, and he chased after him again.

"I'm telling you," Gryffindor paused as he approached, and stared back at him, "I won't be foolish enough to say those things to you again, I'll pretend it never happened, you're satisfied !"

Slytherin froze in place, not knowing what to say.

He watched Godric's figure recede into the distance, and felt a crazy void inside himself.He knew that this emptiness would follow him forever, and he would spend the rest of his life enduring it gracefully.
