[HP] A Brief History of Time

One of the great things about being a witch is that when you don't have a key and don't want to alarm someone to enter a house, all you need is a wand.Of course, the provider of the magic is Draco.

Blaise was envious of being able to use his wand as he pleased during the holidays without being warned by the Ministry of Magic.His mother may be able to dance so well that he can also swing the wand outside the school without any worries, but it's a pity that it is not the Ministry of Magic that controls Blaise's wand, but Mrs. Zabini herself-a second-year student who is not mature enough to use magic. , wands are no less dangerous than electrical sockets that stumbling toddlers keep away from.

The three of them sneaked into the mansion of Jasmine Manor.

All the furniture and furnishings in the hall were covered with a layer of white dustproof cloth, and the air was full of the smell of floating dust. It seemed that since Virginia went to Hogwarts, Mrs. Conway really did not Live here again.

With his pockets in his pocket, Blaise looked around, and found that only the ceiling and the murals on the walls were left to be admired, "I don't know if I'm right, but why do I feel like this is a magical manor... in Ma Muggle life? Why wasn't the 'Muggle Repelling Curse' cast?"

Draco didn't answer.He heels up to the purposeful Virginia.She went up to the second floor, walking non-stop, crossing the long corridor, pushing open the door of the living room, walking through the empty room, and opening another small door in the corner before stopping.

Outside the door should be the stairs dedicated to the servants, a narrow and dark passage, and a small window on a high wall provides all the light.However, there is a brocade tapestry hanging on the wall at the stairway in an inconsistent style. Even though the color has faded, it is still gorgeous.The pattern on the hanging stand is that of an elk looking back, through its beautiful outstretched horns, a yew tree can be seen in front of it.Probably the age is too long, the two lines of runes in the upper right corner of the tapestry have been blurred.

Draco could only vaguely make out a word or two.

Virginia's focus was not on this mural, she trembled her hands around the mural, and even lifted it, and there was a smooth wall underneath, "I know there is a room here, I have the impression, I saw it when I was a kid...and then it disappeared. I always thought I remembered it wrong."

Blaise shrugged and didn't take it seriously, "Every magic manor will have such a room to hide the owner's most important wealth or deepest secret." He leaned on the door frame with arms folded with great interest, " Pooh, are you sure you want us to see...the secret wealth of the manor?"

Virginia heard the words without hesitation, "If you can open it."

Blaise threw up his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.All eyes turned to Draco.

Draco knew very well what such a secret room meant to a family. The secret room under the hall of Malfoy Manor was full of twists and turns, hiding countless wealth and strange things, and even a room full of torture tools. dungeon.

It's the darkest place.It was also the place that made Draco feel the most pain in his life.No one noticed the flash of pain in his eyes staring at Virginia. He lowered his eyes, stretched out his wand and tried a few spells, and said in a low voice, "The secret room in the manor cannot be opened easily. To open. It requires the power of blood or a specific spell or whatever."

Virginia stared at the tapestry in frustration for a few seconds, "I don't know at all." Her face darkened, "I want to know too much, I know, sometimes looking for secret answers You're asking for trouble for yourself, but," she put the index finger of her right hand between her lips, said vaguely, "it's better than being kept in the dark."

As soon as her teeth were about to engage, Draco squeezed her jaw hard. He frowned and gave her a look. "It's just hopelessly stupid," he said angrily.

He took Virginia's hand, raised his wand, and lightly pricked a small hole in her fingertip. He used the wand to control a drop of blood to fly to the wall behind the tapestry, but he could hardly see the point quickly. Out of the wound came a "healed as ever".He squeezed her tender fingers and warned, "If it doesn't work, just wait a while. I don't believe Mrs. Conway doesn't know how to open the chamber of secrets."

As soon as his words fell, Bryce yelled out in surprise, "It appeared!"

The pale yellow wall centered on the place where the blood dripped down, and slowly faded to the surroundings. The thick carved wooden door appeared in front of the three of them. Virginia rushed forward in surprise, and turned the doorknob vigorously—still motionless.She looked down carefully, "Key, I need a key..."

Blaise nudged Draco, "Try the door-opening spell."

Draco didn't move.

After thinking for a while, Virginia ran into the living room like a gust of wind. She lifted the dust cloth covering a small writing desk, squatted down, and began to search in the drawers.A few minutes later, she held an unattractive black key and walked to the door of the secret room.

Looking at the open wooden door, Blaise exclaimed in an unbelievable tone, "I really didn't expect... Even using a door opening spell is much better than a key."

Draco smiled and said nothing, and gestured to the black key inserted in the keyhole with his eyes. Blaise got closer, only to find that it was engraved with complicated patterns. With a cry, he shook his hands that seemed to have been scorched by flames, and glared at Draco.

"Every ancient family should not be underestimated." Draco said softly.

Virginia heard the voice and came out of the secret room and asked, "What's wrong?" Her expression was full of doubts, which not only came from Blaise's exclamation, but also from the things in the secret room.

She was holding a sealed black jar with a big belly in both hands. It was impossible to tell what kind of material it was made of. On the top of the jar was a book with a torn cover.She looked at the two of them, and said in a gloomy voice, "It's strange, there are only these two things in this huge room."

Blaise put his burning hands behind his back, and pressed his five fingers one by one, hoping to reduce the pain. He looked at the things in Virginia's arms, showing a kind of fear, in short, he dared not touch them.

Draco directly reached out to take down the book on the jar, staring at the runes on the cover, frowning, "The most original version of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard"."

Blaise was silent.

Virginia felt quite miraculous, and she couldn't help saying, "This book... what's different? There is such a book in the library, and I've seen it before. Lettice said it was A book of fairy tales."

Draco raised his eyebrows, "In fact, this is an ordinary "Tales of Beedle the Poet"."

Such an ordinary thing finally made Blaise feel that the shadow of the accident just now had faded a bit, and he couldn't help interjecting, "The rune version is not seen in pure-blood families. Is it the meaning of it being hidden in the secret room?"

Draco held the book in his hand and didn't return it to Virginia, "In fact, my father once wrote a letter to Dumbledore about it, and he wanted the book removed from the library— — it's the first time they've made their feud public."

"Why?" Virginia asked.

"Because the story is close to Muggle thinking." Draco smiled at Virginia, "Can you lend me a look? I've never read it."

Virginia looked at him sympathetically, and nodded.As long as she thinks of the "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" in the library, Virginia understands that Mr. Malfoy must not have gained the upper hand in the battle with Dumbledore——Draco must not use his father's face to go Borrowed from the library.It's okay to secretly lend him the book of fairy tales that I took out from the secret room.

"Are you going to take this jar away?" Draco asked, pointing to the black jar in her hand.

Virginia hesitated for a while, and finally nodded gently, "I can't open it. I want to ask my mother when she comes back."

As soon as the black key was pulled out of the lock, the light yellow walls immediately rushed to squeeze the wooden door behind them.The burning pain in Blaise's hand also disappeared in an instant.

He glanced at the palm of his hand in amazement, and opened the big black umbrella of the Zabini Manor, "Honestly, I don't want to try the Muggle way again. Sitting on a four-wheeler makes me feel tight in my chest and short of breath. I really admire Ge The courage that Ryffindor gave to this. Quick, let's go straight home!"

Draco took Virginia's black jar into his own, freeing her hand to grab the umbrella handle.

One minute later, they returned to the luxurious hall of Zabini Manor.

The first thing Virginia did after standing firm was to take the black jar from Draco, but unexpectedly, Draco avoided her hand.

His already pale complexion unexpectedly turned slightly bruised, and the color of his lips was terribly dark.He was trembling all over, and insisted on putting the jar in his hand on the coffee table, then pulled out his wand and chanted several spells to himself while trembling.

"What's wrong with you?" Virginia was taken aback, and quickly helped him up from the floor.She accidentally touched his hand, and suddenly wondered, "Why is it so cold?"

Blaise looked sternly at the black jar on the coffee table. He held a small crystal ball in his hand, which was billowing with thick black smoke. Speak in a serious tone.

Virginia didn't believe it at all, "How is it possible, I held it for so long, but I didn't feel it at all." She turned her head and looked at Draco who still hadn't recovered, tears were about to flow out, "Is it really black magic?"

Draco opened his eyes and looked at her, "I was being careless. Luckily you're okay."

Virginia paused in her heart, leaned forward suddenly, took the fruit knife in the middle of the fruit plate, cut her index finger vigorously, and quickly stuffed it between Draco's lips and teeth, with tears in her eyes, "Maybe it works."

Draco was stunned, his heart ached terribly, he grabbed her hand, and reprimanded, "It's too messy!" Poor Draco's strength was too weak at this time. Her blood smeared into a bloody mouth.

Virginia couldn't help crying, "I'm dying of pain! Hurry up and lick it twice! You wasted so much... Why does it keep bleeding? Are there arteries in the fingertips?"

Tears flowed down, Blaise couldn't bear to look straight at him, he took out white meat and blood tonic medicine from the medical box under the coffee table, and said helplessly, "Draco, just lick a couple of mouthfuls."

Draco angrily took Virginia's finger out of his mouth and yelled at Blaise, "Give me the medicine!"

Brace stared dumbfounded at him sitting up straight from the sofa, his face was rosy, but without saying a word, he quickly applied the medicine to Virginia with his fingers.The lips painted bright red with blood were extremely strange.

Virginia held a tear that hadn't slipped out of her eyes in the future, and stopped crying, "My blood is really useful..."
