Vanessa decides to go back to school early.

Before the start of school, she wrote a letter to Principal Dumbledore in the name of her mother, expressing that the family could not take care of her due to temporary incidents and needed her to return to school early. Vanessa received a reply from the principal in mid-August, Approved her application to return to school early.

She hastily packed her textbooks and luggage for the new semester, and returned to Hogwarts as if she had escaped. However, it seemed that she was not the only one who returned to school early.

As the curfew approached, Vanessa lay on the bed in the dormitory, feeling a little hungry. She endured it for a while, but couldn't take it any longer, so she had to get up and go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

The Hogwarts kitchen is the favorite place for night tour students to come and go. Vanessa walked very fast along the way. She wanted to return to the dormitory before the curfew, but unfortunately, when she passed a corner, she seemed to be She bumped into something and leaned heavily against the wall behind her. The cold and hard touch of the wall made her cry out in pain. She couldn't cover her heart, but she couldn't cover her back. She could only look up to see what she bumped into. When I looked at it, I found... There was an air in front of me.

Not right.

How is this possible?

Vanessa drew out her wand, frowned and stared at her surroundings, calmed her breath and said, "Come out, I know you're here."

The voice fell, and the surroundings were quiet, and the only answer to her was silence.

Vanessa waved her wand, and after a silent spell, a person suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The person had black hair and gray eyes, and stared at her with her arms covered, eyes full of displeasure.

"Blake?"

Not Black of Slytherin, of course, but Black of Gryffindor.

"You...is that an invisibility cloak?"

Vanessa glanced sideways at the things he was wearing, and he glanced at her, quickly put away the invisibility cloak, and said indifferently, "It doesn't seem to be about Miss Albert?"

"You know me?" Vanessa was a little surprised.

Sirius Black, who was about to enter the third grade when school started, was now a slender figure, a tall boy, half a head taller than Vanessa, who was five feet six inches.

Sirius Black didn't intend to answer her question. He gave her a sideways glance and was about to leave. Vanessa glanced at the direction he was leaving, frowned and said, "The curfew is coming soon, if I read correctly, that is Leave the direction of the castle."

Sirius turned his head, stared at her coldly and said, "So, are you going to inform me? Miss Albert, school hasn't started yet, so don't use that trick to scare me."

Vanessa said lightly: "It's true that school hasn't started yet, but school rules don't only exist during the school term. Mr. Black should go back to the dormitory before the curfew."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Sirius stood there and watched her from a distance, without listening to any persuasion, he turned back and continued on his way.

Vanessa found something to eat in the kitchen, stepped back to the dormitory, and when she was lying on the bed after taking a shower, she was previewing her textbooks and wondering if Blake was back.

After the official start of school, the whole Hogwarts seems to be reborn, and it becomes full of vitality under the embellishment of students.

There are quite a few new students this year, but not many people are assigned to Slytherin. Vanessa waited until the end of the sorting house, and ate sullenly after Professor Dumbledore's speech.

At the Gryffindor long table, Sirius glanced at the Slytherin long table opposite. He was surprised that the Slytherin didn't go to report him to the professor who stayed at school. Calm, it was beyond his expectation.

"Sirius, what are you looking at?" James Potter put his arm around his shoulders and looked in the direction of his gaze just now, "Are you looking at that Albert? Let me tell you, although she is beautiful, she is far away." Not as good as Evans." After finishing speaking, he still didn't look at their Gryffindor flower, only a fool couldn't see what was on his mind with that concentrated expression.

"I think Albert looks better..."

Peter Pediru muttered something while eating, Potter didn't hear it, but Sirius heard him, glanced at him and said, "Then you should go to the medical wing to see your eyes, Peter."

Peter pursed his lips, shrunk his head and said nothing, Remus Lupine said softly, "But Vanessa Albert is the most beautiful girl in Hogwarts voted first for six consecutive times."

Sirius Black snorted coldly and said: "That means there are countless people in the school who need to see their eyes." He paused, he said disdainfully, "I don't know what kind of boring people made such a selection, it's so stupid .”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the opposite side inexplicably. Seeing Vanessa looking over, he immediately retracted his gaze and lowered his head to cut the steak.

This year is Vanessa's seventh school year. After this year, she will graduate. In the fifth grade, Professor Slughorn gave her a career counseling. Before the seventh grade, she will have the first Second employment consultation.

Standing at the door of the Potions Professor's office, Vanessa knocked on the door and said loudly, "Vanessa Albert, come for employment consultation, Professor."

There was a sound from inside the door, and the door opened in response to the sound. Vanessa walked in and saw Slughorn playing with the potion bottle. She remembered the letter she had written in the summer vacation, hesitated and said: "Professor, I will be the first one." The second employment consultation, by the way..." She slowed down, "I want to ask you, what do you think of the incident mentioned in the letter I sent you during the summer vacation?"

Compared with Vanessa's nervousness, Professor Slughorn's reaction was much more casual, he kindly beckoned her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Oh, Vanessa, you know, you are my most proud student One, among the current students in school, except for Severus Snape, your potion level is the highest."

...Well, compared to a student who just entered the third grade, Vanessa Yali is very big as a seventh grader.

"As for the matter you mentioned, I'm really busy recently, and I may need a little help. As you said, I will pay you some money." Slughorn blinked, quite roundabout readily agreed to her proposal.

Vanessa's eyes lit up, she stood up and said, "I will definitely work hard, and I won't let you down, professor."

In the letter during the summer vacation, she expressed the idea that she could help the dean to make high-grade potions for sale. She only had a small request, that is, she hoped to get some meager remuneration. She is confident in her own work and achievements. Although she was a little nervous before getting the result, it has a good ending.

After coming out of the Potions Office, Vanessa was refreshed. She counted the money she made in Madam Malkin's robe shop, because she greatly increased the sales, and she also worked as a free model, even though she left early After only working for two and a half months, Mrs. Mojin generously gave her a hundred Galleons.

Adding in the twenty Galleons she got from selling things earlier, and some of her own savings, she would have about 170 Galleons, which would be worth more than the pound if she and her mother were to find a house in the Muggle world , the money is completely enough.

As for the "small business" at Professor Slughorn's place, it was for subsequent rent and daily expenses. After all, she still had a year to graduate. She could live in Hogwarts, but her mother needed money to live.

Back in the dormitory, Angie was taking a shower, and Vanessa was sitting at the desk and spreading out the parchment, wanting to write a letter to her mother to let her start looking for a house, but recalling how she was keen on socializing during the summer vacation, she felt that she was so A letter would be a big blow to her.

If you hit it, hit it, you can't always live under the fence, that fence is still a crooked fence.

Just about to write, Angie came out of the shower. She stared at Vanessa strangely, and Vanessa looked back puzzled: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Anji pursed her lips, pointed to the other corner of the table and said, "That's your letter, just now, it was sent by a magnificent golden eagle."

Vanessa froze, looking at the letter on the corner of the table, she thought it was Angie's.

"Mine? A golden sculpture?" She walked over in surprise, and picked up the letter. It was a silver-green envelope with elegant wax paint on it. The seal on the wax paint made her instantly understand why Angie's eyes were so strange.

Malfoy.

It was a letter from Lucius.

Vanessa let go of the envelope, and the envelope fell to the ground. She quickly bent down to pick it up, and said with a pale smile, "Ah, it might be when Senior Malfoy graduated. I sent him a mail out of gratitude for his care. I got a graduation gift, so he wrote me back."

Angie was stunned for a moment, remembering that Vanessa had indeed been taken care of by Lucius since she entered school, and it was reasonable for her to send gifts.

Her face softened a little, but she was still very puzzled: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, why does Malfoy take care of you so much with your status as Senior Malfoy?"

She shares a dormitory with Vanessa, and they are usually inseparable. She is the person in the academy who has seen Lucius protect Vanessa the most. In the past, she never asked, because she thought it was unreal, and she thought it was her own illusion. Now Van Nissa mentioned it herself, and she took advantage of the situation to ask.

"Senior Malfoy is just trying to maintain the Slytherin system." Vanessa said calmly, "Although he thinks it is his duty, I did benefit from it, so I think I should thank him."

Angie suddenly nodded.

What Vanessa said was from the heart, that was her original intention of sending the Felicity Elixir to Lucius. At that time, she never thought that they would develop to the level they are today.

"Don't you read the letter?" Angie pointed to the envelope she was holding in her hand. Vanessa almost broke the envelope because of the force.

"Let's see it later, the left and right are just simple thanks, it doesn't matter."

Vanessa said something casually, locked the letter in the drawer and went to take a shower.

It's not that I don't want to read it, it's because I don't have the courage to read it. I don't know what he will write on it, but I also expect that he is probably very angry.

Vanessa avoided the letter with a feeling that as long as I didn't read it, I didn't have to face it. After informing her mother to find a new home, she started her seventh grade study life.

What made her feel strange was that the foursome of the Gryffindor hijackers who never liked to go to the library have always been in the library recently. They were too loud and unruly, and they were always scolded by the librarian. Fanny It's hard for Sarah not to notice.

That day, she was immersed in her studies, preparing for the Ultimate Wizarding Exam, when she heard the sound of communication from the row of bookshelves behind her. She looked up and saw Potter, Black, Lupine and Pedilu as expected.

Peter Pedilu was the first to notice her gaze, blushing and said in a low voice, "Here, there is someone here."

His reminder made the other three look towards Vanessa. Vanessa put away the books on her desk and was about to leave, but the four looked at each other and stopped her.

"How much have you heard?" Sirius Black asked her coldly.

Vanessa was stunned and said: "...I didn't hear anything, I just noticed that someone was talking, so I looked back. If you want me to say, you should really keep your voice down, so that no one will notice you."

Her words made Blake, who was already inexplicably upset at her, even more indifferent. He took out his wand and pointed at her and said, "I don't need your reminder, Albert. You said you didn't hear anything, why don't I believe it? "His lips were pale, and his complexion was not very good. Vanessa felt strange since returning to school early before the start of school. Although he entered Gryffindor with Blake, but... he did not look so haggard that he almost Worry, what happened during the summer vacation?

"I didn't really hear that," Vanessa said as sincerely as she could.

Potter hesitated and said, "Maybe she really didn't hear?"

Sirius glanced at Potter: "You believe in a Slytherin?"

Potter immediately changed his expression and looked at Vanessa warily.

Vanessa was a little annoyed, she was just reading a book, who knew that she would encounter these things: "You guys are prejudiced, if I didn't hear what I said, I didn't hear it, it's not that everyone rarely hears your worthless things Mischief, can you give me a break now? Also, don't point your wand at me."

Vanessa's face turned cold, her pretty face added a bit of coldness, Pediru was a little dazed, Lupine stood aside, and said in a low voice: "This is the library, and we didn't say anything just now, Sirius, Don't be too nervous."

Black turned his head and said with a dark face: "I didn't say anything, if she heard that, you..."

Lupine shook his head with a pale face and said, "I believe Miss Albert really didn't hear."

Vanessa glanced at him gratefully, and whispered, "Thank you."

Lupine was taken aback, a few traces of blush appeared on his pale and bloodless face, he didn't speak, but nodded.

"trouble."

Black snorted coldly, but finally put down his wand and got out of the way.

Vanessa took one last look at him and walked away.

It's really bad luck, it seems that I can't even come to the library recently, and reading every book can get me all over the place.

Meanwhile, in the Slytherin common room, there was another person waiting for her.

As soon as Vanessa walked in, she saw Narcissa Black sitting on a chair with an elegant and dignified posture. When she found her coming in, she smiled kindly and greeted her.

Vanessa was almost flattered, but she still felt that she was very unlucky today. She was afraid that someone had given a magic potion that was the opposite of Felicia, so she had to face the two difficult Blacks.

"Miss Black."

Since the other party greeted her, ignoring it would only make her feel guilty. Vanessa walked over slowly and said hello to Narcissa.

Narcissa smiled and said, "Sit down, Albert, don't be so polite, we have been classmates for almost seven years, you are too alien."

Vanessa only thought for a few seconds before sitting beside her.

It was only now that she realized that there was no one else in the common room today except them, which was abnormal, she thought, probably because Narcissa drove the others away.

"I'm here to give you this." Narcissa took out an invitation card from her pocket, with the crests of Malfoy and the Black family stamped on it, and Vanessa knew what it was without looking at the contents.

"Lucius and I are getting married. In July next year, which is the second month after graduation, we will hold a wedding at Malfoy Manor. I sincerely invite you to attend."

She pushed the wedding invitation in front of Vanessa, and Vanessa had to take it under her gaze, holding it in her hand, always feeling that her hand was about to be burned by the invitation.

"Will you come?" Narcissa asked, tilting her head.

Vanessa looked up at her, and said puzzledly: "...Miss Black, I don't intend to offend, but although we have been classmates for nearly seven years, we haven't spoken a few words. Precious invitation, so I..."

She wanted to say so she would not go, she would silently bless them at home, but what Narcissa said next left her speechless.

"Yes, we didn't speak a few words, and we didn't have much contact, but you and Lucius have a very good relationship, don't you?"

She threw her a meaningful look. She was actually very friendly, although there was a hint of it, but there was no hostility in it. After she finished speaking, she even shook hands with her, said goodbye cordially, and then turned and left.

She didn't come to demonstrate, she really just came to send an invitation.

Vanessa froze in place, Lucius' cold and noble face appeared in her mind, with one head and two big faces.

She really wanted to go to the potion office immediately and ask the dean, is there any potion in this world that can turn back time quickly?She wanted to go back to the night when she gave Lucius the Elixir of Felix in sixth grade, and slap herself hard at that time.

in the bedroom.

When Narcissa came back from delivering the invitation, Parkinson, who was in the dormitory, said with a little disgust, "Why did you send the invitation to that half-blood? Narcissa, are you polluting your grand wedding?"

Narcissa smiled and said, "You don't understand, Alia." She was just showing favor to Lucius. The wedding was approaching, and he was satisfied with her wedding arrangements and decorations, and his attitude towards her private social relations It also made her feel at ease, she thought she couldn't always take advantage of her fiancé, but also had to show her friendliness.

That's why she gave Vanessa the invitation to tell Lucius that she didn't mind their relationship, and she couldn't wait to see the man above him thank her.

However, things went beyond her expectations.

When she received Lucius' reply, he actually blamed her for taking it upon herself. Although the lines were still polite and decent, there was an air of displeasure when put together.Moreover, look at the strength with which he wrote the letter. The quill pen poked hard on the parchment, almost destroying the expensive parchment. You can imagine how stinky his face was when he wrote the letter.

"Humph."

Narcissa snorted softly, threw the letter into the drawer, and ignored it.

She doesn't care, but Vanessa has to care.

She couldn't figure out what Narcissa meant. The invitation was in her drawer like a jerk. She was called into the hospital by Professor Slughorn before she decided whether to go to the wedding or not. long office.

"Miss Albert." Professor Slughorn said to her in a regretful tone, "I'm sorry, what I promised you before can only be carried out until this week."

Vanessa just saw some hope for the future, and it was just wiped away. She looked at the professor blankly, wondering: "Why? Is it because I didn't do well enough, Professor?"

"No, no, you're doing very well, very well, much better than the ones on the market, but..." Slughorn gave a weird look, and then muttered, "But I haven't had that much lately." There is a need, so stop it for now, and now you can go back, Miss Albert."

Vanessa blinked, and the hands under the school robe slowly clenched into fists. Looking at the dean's expression, one knew that someone might have expressed some opinion on their cooperation, which caused him to suspend the "cooperation" with her. ".

Hogsmeade Day.

Vanessa, who was not going well, shuttled through the crowd alone. Angie wanted to be with her boyfriend and couldn't accompany her. She had no intention of finding a boyfriend, so she had to come by herself.

……correct!

Find a boyfriend!

Vanessa stood still, looking at the crowd with bright eyes, as if she had found a breakthrough in the problem.

As long as she has a boyfriend, she can justifiably refuse Lucius' "deal", and she can also wash away the uncomfortable feeling in front of Narcissa, and even use the reason of her boyfriend to persuade him to avoid suspicion. The mother, who has been reluctant to find a new house for a long time, moved out of Lucius' house quickly.

By the way, that's it, it's time for her to find a boyfriend.

There was a bump on the shoulder, Vanessa frowned, Sirius Black gave her a contemptuous glance, and walked past her, with the other three of the quartet on the other side.

Really bad.

It seems that they have had a feud since returning to school early and bumping into this guy. They didn't even look at each other when they met before, but now they see each other and want to kill each other.

Vanessa glanced at him coldly, turned her head and walked back.

She wasn't going to Hogsmeade anymore, she had important things to do.

She needs to find a boyfriend.

The author has something to say: Lucius: What is a boyfriend, can I eat it, and my lover should understand

Author: Boyfriend is Sirius.

Lucius: ... Let's fight, brat!
