[hp] stay out of it

Chapter 35 Lemon Juice

The voice comes from Phineas Nigellus Black, considered the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts history and the great-great-grandfather of Sirius.My eyelids twitched and I pretended not to hear this sentence.

"Phineas," Dumbledore glanced at the portrait with a little warning, "please wait a moment, I have something to say to this child."

Phineas muttered something and didn't go on, but looked at me with interest along with the principals in the other portraits - this made me feel very weird, generally speaking, the duty of portraits is not to hang there Let others stare curiously?Instead of studying me in a uniform way.

The headmaster at the other side of the table said to me relaxedly, "Don't bother with him . . . and talk about it later, if you like. Now, what would you like to drink? Black tea? Milk?"

"A glass of lemonade is enough, thanks." I try not to look at Phineas, feeling again that unchosen kinship can be very distressing when it cannot be escaped.

Professor Dumbledore handed over the lemon juice, and suggested friendlyly: "I hope you will think about something to drink after listening to my next sentence—even if more people are choking on strange news at my desk." , I won’t get used to it either, so it’s better to make plans early and remind you now.” He blinked playfully, and I couldn’t help but imagine in my mind some principal saying something in a serious manner, and then the visitor coughed up his drink, Covers an area as small as half a table.

Even with Professor Dumbledore's reminder, I almost choked on his next words, my own spit.He put his slender fingers together, looked at me a little seriously, and announced something to me: "Recently, Beauxbaton's students—to be precise, one of them, Bruce Boyle Well, I guess you know something about each other—"

As soon as I heard that Bruce was involved in something, I had a feeling that I expected it in addition to secretly saying that it was bad. In less than two days of contact, although Bruce had always acted as a noble and elegant pure-blood, he always gave him I was in a "something is going to happen to this guy" kind of impression.

The portraits hanging above the principal's office all shook their heads, and Principal Dumbledore continued: "...they are very purposefully looking for something in the British wizarding world, and what they desperately want to contact is none other than Voldemort."

It's pretty clear what Bruce wants to do!What horse (Trojan horse), what (anti) pure-blood alliance, what overthrow/overturn the rotten/rotten pure-blood rule/rule... What is he trying to do?Find the leader of this group of guys directly and have a peak duel?Bravery wasn't enough here, what capital did he have to think he could find Voldemort and kill him?The little Crouch lurking in Hogwarts could kill him in the first round with a little trick!

Bloody Bruce...

I felt a snap, and after Cedric another burden of life lay on my shoulders.

I quickly grabbed the handle of the porcelain cup and took a sip of lemon juice to relieve my grouted brain.

Professor Dumbledore waited for me to put down the glass, thought for a while, and then said: "Mr Boyle seems to be the leader of the P.A①-I am sorry for my doubts, after all, Harry's name appeared in the In the Goblet of Fire, I had to be cautious about everything - that's why I came to you. Mr. White, it is said that you declined the invitation of the PA, and you are more familiar with Mr. Boyle. Please ask about his movements, especially yesterday , have you noticed something unnatural?"

Professor Dumbledore already knew I rejected Bruce?He was too well informed.I froze for a moment, guessing that maybe Barrow told Professor Dumbledore the conversation, and immediately replied: "Professor, he didn't announce Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire—if that's what you want to ask— — I've been watching him all Saturday, and he never gets to sign himself up, unless it's Friday night..."

"It seems that this lovely guest from Beauxbatons did not do it, so I am relieved," Dumbledore said with a sigh of relief, "Mr. Filch was at the door of the Great Hall last night, Because Peeves said he was going to make trouble for the Goblet of Fire, he said that he had never seen students from other schools come in, and the school gate was always locked. From this point of view, Mr. Boyle did not do anything he should not have done. "

"Why are you telling me this, Professor Dumbledore?"

He smiled slightly: "Mr. White, I have always been very reassuring to you—I believe that the so much sex you borrowed from Professor Binns' note was just for the sake of knowledge—"

I scratch my head in embarrassment.

Professor Dumbledore looked at me seriously through the glasses: "—so I want to ask you one thing."

"Oh, professor, please."

"For some obvious reasons, this year's Hogwarts is a bit chaotic, and it is impossible to completely maintain order. So can I make a request, please pay attention to it under the premise of convenience and secrecy Mr. Boyle? I know it may be a little too much to ask, after all, he is you..."

"Oh, no problem, Professor, I'll try my best to monitor, I mean, keep an eye on Boyle." I subconsciously interrupted Professor Dumbledore, and glanced at him, a little embarrassed.

Professor Dumbledore stared at me for a few seconds before pushing the saucer full of sugar cubes towards me.I hesitated for a moment, a little afraid that he would hit me on the head with this small plate like the Dursleys, so I obediently put several pieces of sugar into my lemon juice and stirred it with a spoon.

"Try it," said Professor Dumbledore.

I took a sip of lemon juice and found that the sour taste was almost gone, and the fragrance of lemon and the sweetness of cube sugar echoed between my teeth.

"How about it?"

"Oh, it's delicious, thank you. I've never put so many sugar cubes in lemon juice—the sour taste is always more refreshing, and the sweet taste is very cloying." I replied honestly.

"But there is no need to add no sugar at all," Professor Dumbledore looked at me kindly, "with all due respect, the occasional, appropriate sour taste is to prevent us from losing our vigilance in sweetness, but beauty is always a part of life." The tone, isn't it?"

"Um... what do you mean?"

Dumbledore looked at me in awe for half a second: "About your family, Vincent. Mr. Malfoy told me his speculation during the summer vacation, and I also think his speculation is realistic. I I haven't talked to you because I think you can handle this and have a right to a little privacy. I'm sorry if it made you feel like you were being ignored."

I was a little surprised to notice that the headmaster called me by my given name, and said hastily, "I have nothing to complain about, and I appreciate your attitude, Professor—I can handle these things."

"Oh, I don't think so! With all your crazy cousins ​​coming here, I don't see anything I can rate as 'proper' in your handling of the Boyle family." Phineas After being silent for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and sarcastically said something.

"Please calm down for a while, Phineas." Professor Dumbledore was a little blunt, and Phineas turned his face to the ceiling, but he did not speak any more.

Dumbledore looked at me peacefully with wise eyes: "Vincent, you don't have to make your life like lemon juice with only lemons, you can accept a little sweet things, such as family - Harry once said I hope you and Sirius can get to know each other—look, how many people care about you? Maybe you shouldn't just indulge in the dangerous feeling of life, Merlin, accepting a little good thing doesn't violate any laws."

I opened my mouth, and Professor Dumbledore continued, "Mr. Hornby and Mr. Phillips have been hanging around the gargoyle down there for several weeks since school started, discussing your anomalies, and annoying the gargoyle. gone."

I didn't expect that my abnormality and concealment would make the two friends so interested, and they would stay there for a while.

Dumbledore seemed a little dissatisfied with me, shook his head and said: "Under normal circumstances, missing for half a vacation and then coming back with scars is not something that happens to normal students. Mr. Hornby and Mr. Phillips are of course worried about you. Vincent, maybe you don't take life here seriously, but you have to realize that you have become a part of other people's lives."

Professor Dumbledore's words slammed at me like this, making me realize how inappropriate I was hiding from my friends, and only now did I realize that somewhere in my heart, I didn't even take them seriously as a relationship. I feel ashamed and guilty about knowing that I am the same "person" and that the book is just a character that is not mentioned at all.

"Look, Vincent, you're not alone in life here, you've got such a bond with so many people, and I think if you don't keep it too deep, there are more people Will come to care about you. Oh, and don't forget about your headmaster - Professor Flitwick always wants to talk to you, but I told him not to talk to you for a while, the children obviously have their own ideas. But when they When you stubbornly want your teeth to be sour, adults have to take measures to tell them the correct attitude towards life," said Professor Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling with anticipation and relief, "Professor Lupine is a big student today. I have written a long time ago. You and Harry are the two children he cares most about in this school. Maybe it will take some time for Harry's problem to be resolved, but I think this conversation with you can't wait any longer—yes So, Vincent, do you want to meet your father?"

①PureAlliance pure blood alliance

②I suddenly forgot whether I had arranged a surname for Dan Qi, so I called it Dan Qi Phillips.

The author has something to say:

1. Anyway, I like positive!able!quantity!Is there a little cure in this chapter?It feels so good to be cared about by everyone XD

2. Writing this piece is very exciting ==, every time, especially in the sugar cube section, the word Veritaserum is swiping in my head—too much!shortage!Don!Ever since I discovered the HP doujin, the setting of the White Demon King has made me want to beat the ground. The guys who support these remarks are purely watching too many Japanese manga where the habits of pros and villains are reversed every day, okay?Don't tarnish our pure HP, okay?Madan!

3. This story has not made much progress, but it is of great significance. The principal taught Vincent (Jiang Jin) a life attitude of staying out of it. Next, he will not be so indifferent when facing emotions and fetters, and will pay attention to it. the world in which

4.24. Chapter 24 is too ugly to be locked, so I decided to put in some settings about Danqi and Benelli. I don’t have a very three-dimensional depiction of the characters of the supporting roles. Chapter [-] can help you understand it. If you have time, go in and take a look. .

5. I just started reviewing after I failed the high math test, and I have to make up the exam at the beginning of the semester. TT doesn’t want to kneel down for high math, so I beg everyone to bless me and save my character. Stable, but it does not rule out the possibility of updating more frequently because I don’t want to review, so please don’t give up your attention to this article. XD
