[HP] A Brief History of Time

On Wednesday afternoon, Virginia was told she could be released from the hospital after the drywall was removed.She moved her wrist and suddenly relaxed her wrist, and sat on the edge of the bed, watching Pomfrey gather the bandages and medicine into the plate.

"Does the Mandrake have to wait until June?" Virginia asked aloud, "There is a spell, maybe more than one, such as the Growth Curse, can it not make it mature quickly?"

Pomfrey smiled, "The Growth Curse is a fifth grade content, have you heard of it?"

"I heard Hermione say that."

"It turned out to be Miss Granger." Madam Pomfrey looked at the hospital bed with the curtain full of sadness, "The Growth Curse can change the size of the Mandrake, but the essence cannot change. The growth law of any life is It cannot be changed, even the age-reducing potion has a time limit. Even if the ripening potion is used on the Mandrake, firstly, the time will not be too fast, and secondly, the medicinal power contained in the herb itself will not be sufficient."

Virginia was silent.

When she walked out of the medical wing, the first class hadn't finished yet.She had just been discharged from the hospital, she was not wearing a school gown, she was standing not far from the opposite of the third greenhouse, her white shirt and red skirt were very conspicuous.

Draco saw her right away.

"I didn't come to look for you." Virginia saw the rippling smile on his face walking towards her position, and immediately declared.

"Oh, I didn't expect that, I didn't hear it on purpose!" Before Draco could react, Blaise, who was behind him, threw his schoolbag over his shoulder and laughed.

"Then let me come to you." Draco threw the book in Blaise's arms, and squeezed Virginia's wrist with his free hand, "Is it all right? Are you still dizzy? "

Virginia kept her gaze fixed on the door of the greenhouse, and only hummed perfunctorily a few times. When she saw the figure of Professor Sprout appearing at the door of the greenhouse, she immediately went over the two of them and walked towards her.

Draco took her hand, and he observed Virginia's face thoughtfully, "The person you are looking for is the herbal medicine professor? For what? Mandrake?"

Virginia had no choice but to stop and look back at him.Draco could see the surprise and confusion in her eyes, and he took a step closer to her, lowering his head so Blaise couldn't hear him.He whispered in her ear softly, "Did you forget? When we first met, I reminded you of the secret - why the flower garden in Jasmine Manor blooms all year round?"

"My dear girl, I will be more useful than Professor Sprout."

These remarks did not comfort Virginia.She stared at Draco with wide eyes for a full minute.This 1 minute is really long, until Draco's face twitched in surprise from his composure of winning, until Blaise, who had been idly acting as the background, also noticed something was wrong.Before the two of them could react, Virginia had already raised the linen bag in her hand and yanked it to Draco's forehead, "Why don't you talk about it?"

Blaise was stunned with the book in his arms, and stammered for Draco, who was already stunned, to answer, "Say, what are you talking about?"

"...If you beg me, I'll say it!" Virginia knocked him several times, seeing that he was standing stupidly and didn't fight back, she hugged the linen bag tightly and accused angrily, "You always have this attitude , Are you annoying? If you don’t tell me, I won’t ask!” She was so angry that she shook Draco again, turned around and left.

Blaise stretched his neck in place and watched the red dress disappear into the crowd before turning to look at Draco with disheveled hair.He looked up at his appearance at the moment, and sincerely admired, "This is the most humorous you I have ever seen in my life." As soon as he finished speaking, he took a long step with Draco's book in his arms.

Draco glanced at him with a flat face, "People have weaknesses to some extent. Virginia's weakness is that she is too quiet - she has a good temper and speaks too easily, and the consequence is that everyone wants to bully her .It's a big credit to be able to stir up Will's temper."

Bryce shook his lips, "...Are you trying to argue?" He paused, then turned his head away, "Pretend I didn't say anything."

Draco raised his hand and straightened his hair casually. "Actually, I also have a weakness. I always want to bully and bully people." After finishing speaking, he immediately pulled out his wand.

Blaise, always on guard, dodges immediately.

In fact, Draco's wand didn't cast any spells, and Blaise tripped over his own feet and fell on the grass.

Draco bent down very unsympathetically, only picked up his textbook, he sighed and shook his head, "Things always end in unexpected ways."

Actually, this wasn't the first time Draco had seen Virginia lose his temper.The time she got angry, she smeared a bowl of porridge on her face, and asserted: "The place you should stay most should be in Malfoy's graveyard!"

He did stay there, but because of her absence, he crawled out again.

Professor Snape was in an extremely bad mood, which resulted in very few passing assignments in his pen, all of which were a woman.The woman was dazzlingly beautiful, walking up and down the floor in three-inch silver high heels, "I've always been dissatisfied with the color scheme of your office, Severus. It's depressing."

"You also know that this is my office." Snape reminded the visitor carefully.

Narcissa didn't seem to hear his subtext, her slender fingers slid gently on the back of the sofa chair, "Yes, that's right, Lu and I are very grateful for your generosity as a friend, willing to provide such a space for us Being able to talk to Draco, you know, at his age is the key, there are countless problems that his father and I need to solve for him."

Snape picked up the tip of his pen disinterestedly, "Of course, you'd be happy to wipe his ass for the rest of your life."

Narcissa frowned, and at this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

"Ah, here comes the forever little boy," Snape said in an exaggerated tone.He opened the door and looked at Draco with a stern face, "It is a great honor for His Royal Highness to set foot on this humble land."

Facing the sarcastic 'compliment', Draco hesitated for a moment.

Narcissa glanced at Snape helplessly, and dragged her son aside.

Although Snape was not happy with the Malfoys using his office as a meeting room, he went to the work room inside and left a space for the two of them.

"There's a two-way mirror, Mom, you really don't need to make this trip." Draco said, "I've made it clear to Dad about Dobby, we can't have one who isn't faithful at all, right A house-elf whose master has a resentful heart."

"Of course, you're absolutely right, baby." Narcissa said, noting her son's ears were red from the claim, and couldn't help smiling, "I'm here for the question you asked, honey, you Speaking of Virginia Clackenthorpe, you ask me about her father."

"Oh, yes," Draco said, "There's something..."

"I don't need to hear these reasons, Draco." Narcissa interrupted him, glanced into his eyes, and asked inquiringly, "Your father once told me jokingly about you and a certain girl at school, that is Virginia?"

"Yes, that's her." Draco hesitated for half a second.

"You know your father has made a tacit agreement with Parkinson that you'll be engaged to Pencey over the summer of fourth grade."

Draco's eyes flickered strangely, "You know father better than I do. Driven by interests, Parkinson's won't be his eternal choice. This is just a joke."

"It's also I who understand your father. I'm not making a fuss. Even if it's not Parkinson's, it will never be Virginia." Narcissa paused, took out her wand, and finally clothed their surroundings with anti-eavesdropping He cursed, "Draco, we can't treat Virginia badly. You can take care of her, but you can't marry her. There is one thing that even your father doesn't know."

"Do not know what is this?"

"Virginia's father saved your life."

Draco froze, "I never knew—"

"Because of the special circumstances, I can't turn around and sell a person who saved my son to the mysterious man's subordinates." Narcissa didn't know what to think, with a mocking smile on her lips.

Draco started to get a little impatient, he felt that he was probably getting closer to the truth, "I want to know... who is he? The person the mysterious man wants?"

"Yes, I don't know if I should tell you, Draco—" Narcissa hesitated, "You are still too young."

"Dad has taken over all of Malfoy's affairs at this age, Mom!"

Narcissa signaled him to be calm and calm. She thought about it carefully for a while, and then remembered what Mrs. Conway had said about the current situation. She felt that it might not be a big deal to tell the kindness of the dead to the people who should hear it.

"George Herbers," Narcissa finally said, "if you mention this name, there will probably be many people who will remember that your dean Snape must be one of them. He is a rare herbal medicine genius ——This is not the most coveted talent. There is no surname Hebers in the origin of blood, and Hebers has countless secrets."

"Growing vegetation," Draco continued, "is this one of them?"

"I don't know, does Virginia have this talent?" Narcissa was a little startled, and after a while, she revealed a secret that made Draco almost jump off the sofa, "George Hebbs cited It came to You-Know-Who's attention that the Dark Arts had little effect on him."

"His blood..." Draco murmured softly.

"When you were about eight months old, my elder sister Bella attacked the house elf when your father and I were not paying attention, and carried you to the mysterious man." Narcissa was obviously terrified by this past, The voice of the narrator has changed a bit, "I don't know what happened... I don't know who sent you back. When I saw you again, you were lying in a small ball in the cradle, barely getting in. Angry, it's black magic damage."

Draco looked calm, "Go on."

"I met Herbers and his wife in St. Mungo's on the run from You-Know-Who. It didn't occur to me that Lucy Crackenthorpe would be Herbers's wife, and they didn't give a damn when they were at school. , Of course, if Lucy hadn't taken the initiative to say hello, I wouldn't have thought that the sick man standing beside her was Herbers. He fiddled with his surname, and Lucy called herself Mrs. Conway. Lucy At that time, with Virginia, a woman who probably had a child would be soft-hearted, and she decided to let Herbers save you."

"Potions? Spells?"

"A vial of blood," Narcissa said slowly, "and Hufflepuff's gold cup."
