[HP] A Brief History of Time

In a ward on the fifth floor of St. Mungo's, Draco suddenly appeared in the air. He staggered a little, and rushed forward two steps before he stood on the edge of the bed.

In the next second, the door of the ward was pushed open, revealing Narcissa Malfoy's anxious face, "Xiaolong, where did you go just now? We are going to go home."

Draco pursed his lips, and took one last look around the ward.

He didn't expect that he could live two lifetimes.Died in St. Mungo's and reborn in St. Mungo's.A few days ago, when he opened his eyes in the same ward, he was still in a trance.It wasn't until the person who pushed the door and came in was no longer the silent big-eyed girl in his memory that he felt a sharp pain in his numb heart.

He had seen her die with his own eyes.

He no longer remembers exactly what caused him to end up in this ward at St Mungo's when he was 12 years old.But at this moment it is a little old compared to the time when the memory is most vivid: the color of the curtains is bleak, there are no flowers under the windows, and the medical staff in charge of this ward on the wall, an old lady of some age, is foolishly pointing at Laughing outside the photo—exactly the same as her style of caring for patients, how stupid her words are, a small forgetting spell on him made this old woman forget him for most of the day.

Draco couldn't help but miss the medical staff in this ward after more than ten years.She is young and beautiful, patient and responsible.Watched by her soft, silent eyes, he was willing to be at her mercy.No matter how bitter the medicine, no matter how embarrassing the examination of the spell—he was willing to apply all the compliments to her.It's a pity that perhaps in her eyes, she is a desolate and vicious prodigal, a patient who has a bad temper and doesn't like to cooperate, a sinner who brought back sad memories for her and caused her to lose her life.

Draco glanced at the name under the photo again, it was long and unfamiliar.He showed a smile, soothing the fear and anxiety in his heart about the known and unknown future.

Narcissa noticed that her son suddenly became dull, but she only thought it was because of his illness.At this moment, her heart was full of resentment towards her husband.The moment the elevator door opened, she saw Lucius Malfoy standing proudly in the hall of St. Mungo's while holding a snake-headed cane: she couldn't wait to pounce on Lu Hughes's hair, which could not be shattered in strong winds, made his annoying and arrogant face slam on the ground.She couldn't help shaking just thinking about the old black notebook that had stunned her son.

Lucius saw his wife and son, and immediately tapped the crowd with his cane to clear the way without looking away, and walked to them.

Narcissa took a few deep breaths, and before she could speak, she heard her husband whisper in a tone completely different from his expression, "Sissy, I already have a solution. Trust me, it will be resolved, leave it to me .”

Narcissa glanced at him suspiciously and stopped talking.

Even as the wizarding world opened up to Virginia, Mrs. Conway could not announce that the Conway family's peaceful Muggle life was over, and she carefully pointed out to Virginia that since she had never been After a magical riot, she may be an ordinary person.If she doesn't receive an admission letter from Hogwarts before her birthday, then she will completely forget about the "fun and magical world" that Virginia believes.

Unlike Mrs. Conway's imagination, Virginia may be a little lost, but she is not depressed. She even starts to plan which school she wants to go to if she doesn't go to Hogwarts.

Mrs. Conway was relieved by this.

On the morning of August [-]th, Mrs. Vinkey stood by the window and saw a brown owl fly over the black poplar forest and fly into the main house of Jasmine Manor. She couldn't help but recall that she had witnessed a similar scene many years ago. There was a smile on his face. Although this kind smile seemed dry and abrupt, it was extremely sincere.

August 11th is Virginia Conway's [-]th birthday.The mother and daughter sitting at the dining table received an invitation letter from Hogwarts owl to Virginia to enter the wizarding world.

Virginia put down the half-eaten toast full of curiosity, and opened the letter written in emerald green ink, heavy parchment, old-fashioned and simple.

"...Miss Virginia Clackenthorpe sitting at the dining table?" Virginia raised her voice in surprise, and said with some hesitation, "...is the surname wrong?"

Mrs. Conway's eyes moved slightly, "No, that's my previous surname. The Crackenthorpe blood has always been domineering." She paused, as if she suddenly remembered something, seeing that Virginia was confused But he refused to explain further, and only emphasized, "Ville, this will be your surname from now on."

Virginia swallowed the question, and saw the owl on the table pacing over again, with its head tilted and its two round glazed eyes twirling, couldn't help smiling, holding the letter in one hand, and the toast in the other. Pushing the plate in front of it, the owl flapped its wings, lowered its head, bit a piece of edge and pecked it.

Mrs. Gibbs was also full of spring today, she took out two Galleons and stuffed them into the pouch tied to the owl's feet, congratulating, "That's great, miss is going to study," and took out a quill and a roll of sheepskin very attentively Paper said, "I have to reply quickly."

Virginia watched in shock as Mrs. Gibbs laid out these antiques in front of her.

Mrs. Conway stopped the knife and fork in her hand and looked at her with a smile, "Ville, you have to get used to it. This is what I want to say. The wizarding world is old, old-fashioned, but novel."

Virginia agreed with this, she reached out her hand curiously and gently touched the greedy owl, the brown spotted owl wiped against her palm very docilely, making her giggle.

Just as she was holding the quill pen and was about to write her reply on the parchment according to Mrs. Gibbs' instructions, a huge black shadow rushed towards her face accompanied by Mrs. Gibbs' screaming, Startled, Virginia could not help but lean back with the chair, and stretched out her hands to protect her head and face.

The imagined pain did not come, Virginia lowered her arm, but was surprised to see a very majestic and beautiful big bird standing in front of the plate of toast, shaking its invisible neck and stretching out a long The legs and round eyes slid towards Virginia's face from time to time, but the brown owl that was eating happily just now was squeezed aside with great aggrievedness, and squatted down at the table pitifully with its head down.

"This is..." Mrs. Gibbs looked at the cloth bag tied to the big bird's feet in surprise, dark green and silver with dark lines, extremely luxurious.

Virginia obediently did not move.

Mrs. Conway's complexion changed, and she looked carefully at the big bird on the table again, and said in a deep voice, "This is the golden eagle of the Malfoy family," she couldn't help snorting, and wiped the corner of her mouth lightly with a handkerchief, " The Malfoy family can be regarded as nostalgic, old Malfoy's messenger was such a vivid golden eagle many years ago."

Although Mrs. Conway was unavoidably puzzled, she glanced at Virginia and exchanged glances with Mrs. Gibbs. She still smiled and said that Virginia could be taken apart to have a look.

It was a very delicate dark green gift box. When it was opened, there was a violet diamond hairpin lying quietly on the pure white velvet, which was a small jasmine flower.

There is also a sticky note, written on the sticky note paper with dark patterns, fluent and slightly inclined cursive characters,

"To dear Miss Conway,

Happy birthday.

Sincerely, Draco Malfoy"

Such a precious gift from a stranger who has only met once.Virginia was a little surprised to send the box to Mrs. Conway.

"It's beautiful." Mrs. Conway applauded calmly while holding it in her hand, but secretly checked it with the wand, and returned the issuing card to Virginia until it was confirmed that it was safe.

Virginia then picked up the hairpin to look at it carefully, and carefully put it back into the box - she didn't intend to wear it, although she admitted that the violet jasmine hairpin was very beautiful, but in Wedgewood, diamonds Issuing cards is really a showy thing.

In this way, she needs to write two letters, one is a reply to Hogwarts, and the other is to thank Mr. Malfoy for his birthday gift and politely welcome him to Jasmine Manor when he is free. .

Now that Virginia can go to Hogwarts to study, Mrs. Conway faintly revealed to the villagers of Wedgwood Village that she would take Virginia back to her natal family during the afternoon tea time at the pastor's residence the next day.Everyone expressed their sadness and their miss for the Conway family in the future.Captain Thomas even graciously asked where Mrs. Conway's natal family was, and implicitly expressed the hope that he could visit her if he had the opportunity.

Although the village is not big, but the daily topic emerges endlessly, everyone forgets about Draco, except of course Serena, she pulls Virginia aside and simply expresses her regret for her upcoming departure from Wedgwood Immediately afterwards, he couldn't wait to ask when the "good-looking boy" left a few days ago.

"I'll leave that day." Virginia entertained herself in her heart, and the friendship between girls really had to pass the test of boys.

Serena was not satisfied and asked her to reveal more details.

It's a pity that Virginia can't provide more. She can't just say that a lighter can take away that little bastard.She glanced at Mrs. Conway, who was looking this way from time to time, and smiled, "I was already asleep at that time, maybe you can ask Mrs. Vinge."

That was of course impossible. Serena would always have a sense of fear when facing the gatekeeper and housekeeper of Jasmine Manor.

The Vinges are a pair of eccentric and silent old people. Except for the weekly church, this old couple who are always dark will hardly appear in front of everyone-now Virginia knows that the eccentric and silent couple The couple were a pair of Squibs, and their only wizarding son died in a wizarding war many years ago.

Regarding that war, Mrs. Conway was vague, but repeatedly emphasized that the wizarding world is not just fun and magical, it is full of too many dangerous factors.

Virginia was a little unimpressed by this.

"Is he your cousin," Serena whispered to Draco Malfoy reluctantly, "Dear Will?"

"No," Virginia smiled and shook her twisted fingers, stood up and said, "He's just a stranger who got lost by accident. My mother and his parents met a few times many years ago. That's all, we don't know anything about other aspects. Darling, maybe you can show me your school uniform skirt?"

Serena got her wish and got into the Fenofi Girls' School. Her autumn school uniform is very beautiful, which is a pure white lapel shirt, a maroon vest skirt, and a round-topped hard hat of the same color.

"How is it?" Putting on her new school uniform, Serena shifted her attention and turned around in front of Virginia with her arms outstretched.

"Very beautiful." Virginia praised sincerely.

After receiving the compliment, Serena sat down happily, completely forgot about Draco, and shared with Virginia her vision for the new school and what she had seen and heard about going to London with Mrs. Holden a while ago.

"You must write to me." Serena repeated, complaining that it was not interesting for Virginia to no longer be her classmate, and felt that it was too strange that she hadn't confirmed the school yet, so she suddenly changed her tone , and enviously said, "Are you going to study in France?"

Virginia didn't know where her conclusions came from, but she couldn't tell much about her school, so she had to change the subject with some difficulty.
