[HP] A Brief History of Time

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the street, and Hermione immediately saw a small Tesco store on the right hand side as soon as she got out of the car.She took a few steps and rushed into the door, looked around, and saw Virginia wearing a suspender dress in front of the snack counter.

"Do you like orange or almond?" Virginia handed two boxes of truffles to Hermione to choose.

Hermione spread her hands, "Did you know, my dad has his own clinic on Harley Street," she bared her teeth, motioning for Virginia to look at her white and healthy teeth, and said vaguely, "He It's a dentist."

Virginia raised her head and glanced at her silently. Seeing that she couldn't make up her mind, she simply stuffed two boxes of chocolates into the shopping bag, "Honey," her voice was soft and soft, "you know that being a wizard Is there a big plus? No matter how high the cocoa content in the chocolate, there are two potions that can keep you from having neither cavities nor cellulite."

"Is there? Which book records it?" Hermione paused and shouted in a sharp voice, "You are not allowed to call me baby! I am two years older than you!"

"But I'm already taller than you." Virginia quickly swept in several puddings from the shelf.

Only then did Hermione realize what was wrong all along.She lowered her head and glanced at the pair of shiny flat-heeled sandals pulled by Virginia's feet, then at her shoulders that were almost at the same level as hers, ignoring the curls on top of her head, and said in surprise , "How could you grow so tall in one holiday? Could it be a potion?"

Virginia stretched out her index finger to compare her lips, and beckoned her to come closer.Hermione noticed that her thin white fingers pointed at the bottom row of sandwiches, and a pack of sandwiches flew leisurely into her palm immediately.

"Oh my God!" Hermione quickly covered her mouth, "Soundless and wandless curse." She held Virginia's arm tightly, scanned around, and found that there was neither a sharp-eyed clerk nor a constant attention. The camera breathed a sigh of relief.

Virginia looked at her with some smugness.She grew a lot during the holiday, and the flesh on her body and face faded a little. Standing with Hermione whose facial features gradually deepened, she looked like two pink roses that were half-bloomed.

Hermione made a surprised look.

"Last Sunday was the last treatment at Professor Snape's." Virginia knew the confidentiality agreement between her mother and those professors, but Hermione was the first to discover the secret of her magic power. In her heart, Virginia didn't want to hide.

"So you're all right now?" Hermione rolled her eyes. "Those...strange powers?"

"It's not gone. But you know, I haven't figured it out yet." They walked along the snack aisle, and Virginia swept past. "My mother said she would try to find it when I was in school." Find some secret history about my father's family." She lowered her voice to talk to Hermione, and put two bottles of ginger beer into the shopping bag with a flick of her fingers.

Hermione looked at her in horror, "Why are you buying so much food?"

"School starts in one week!" Virginia said confidently, "It's so boring to sit on the train." She added in a low voice, "I dare not eat those weird things on the train."

Hermione was silent.She looked around and grabbed two steak pudding and sturgeon sandwiches from the shelf.

They walked to the big counter where the money was collected.

Uniformed staff take a beer from their shopping bags and take a look at them, "Kids..."

"How much?" Virginia interrupted hastily, her gray eyes widening and looking at her anxiously.

"Exactly 78 pounds." The staff member forgot what she was going to say and replied very politely.

Hermione was stunned, she helped Virginia carry one of the shopping bags out of the supermarket, "Hey, it can't be used on ordinary people..." She glanced around vigilantly, her voice lowered, the word magic The pronunciation fell apart almost as soon as it reached the mouth of the throat, leaving only an exaggerated mouth shape, "Harry was at this time last year because of Dobby—a house elf..."

"I know it!" Virginia chimed in cheerfully.

Hermione paused, and continued unwillingly, "I'm not talking about Dobby, that's not the point. Do you know the consequences? Harry, he received a warning letter." When she said this, she began to look around, as if she would It was as if a letter popped out of nowhere.

The warning letter from the Ministry of Magic did not appear, but a tall and strong boy appeared in front of them.

"Vigil...Virginia!" The visitor's expression was quite pleasant, and his two brown eyes stared at Virginia for a moment.

Hermione noticed Virginia take an involuntary step back.

"...Brendon," Virginia, who was as cheerful as a sparrow just now, suddenly became honest. She called out the boy's name carefully, with a cautious smile on her lips, "What a coincidence."

The excited Brendon didn't notice Virginia's cautious and withdrawn emotions at all. "I heard from Serena that you went to study in France. When did you come back? Do you still want to go to France?"

Virginia glanced at Hermione.Hermione was cooperative without making any revealing expressions.

"This is your classmate? New friend?" Brendon was in high spirits, and stretched out his right hand to Hermione, "Hello, I'm Virginia's elementary school classmate."

"Hello." Hermione glanced at his sweaty broad hands, and gently pressed his fingertips.

"We still have something to do..."

"Serena is nearby," Brendon said in a high voice, covering Virginia's whispered farewell, and he pointed behind him, "Not far from Regent's Park, the Million Readers Alliance, our school and Serena Lina's school is participating in this event. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Before Virginia could agree, he would eagerly carry her shopping bag with his arm.

Virginia glanced down at his thick, tanned arms.Brendon, although there is little intersection between the two of them, in Virginia's elementary school memory, he is really a memorable figure-a bullying, cats hate dogs.She didn't understand why he remembered her and why he was so enthusiastic about her suddenly.

Could it be because of Serena?He had just mentioned her.So is she going to see her or not?Virginia hesitated on the question.

If she went, how would she explain to Serena that she disappeared for a whole year without phone calls or letters?It doesn't even make sense to French schools.But if he doesn't go, will Brendon hit someone? —Virginia glanced at his height and size again.

When Virginia was about to let go of her hand, the other hand patted Virginia's shoulder very affectionately, resulting in a shopping bag.

"Baby Wei, if you don't leave, the party will be late." A strange yet familiar voice sounded.

Hermione lifted her head and took a deep breath.

This is a young man in his twenties, with a handsome appearance and a tall and straight figure. He put one hand on Virginia's shoulder, making Brendon, who was originally very big, into a child.

Brendon took a step back and looked at Virginia, "This is..."

"My cousin!" The answer came out quickly from Virginia's mouth.

"Say goodbye to your friend, Will." The young man said casually. He raised his right hand and squeezed the key in his heart, and glanced not far away.

The three of them followed his gaze and saw a very conspicuous bright red MG convertible parked on the roadside.

Not to mention Hermione's astonishment, Brendon had to take another step back to let them out.

"Virginia, that rabbit you used to have is here with my sheep, and they are very good friends," said Brendon loudly after them, and he walked quickly again. After a few steps, he followed them.He glanced frequently at the figure walking in the front who was held in the arms of the young man, and finally stopped because he didn't get a response.

After they got in the car and started it, Hermione sat in the backseat and glanced back at Brendon furtively, suddenly thinking that the big boy in the jersey was like a poor sheep standing in the sun.

She turned her head, glanced at the figure in the driver's seat, and finally couldn't help but hold back a lot of questions in her heart, "Mr. Malfoy—Draco? Age-enhancing potion? Can you drive? Do you have all the documents? Hi , is this a Muggle carriage? Or is it enchanted?"

"Hmm." The person who was holding the steering wheel gave a soft, ambiguous response, but Hermione soon discovered that her safety could not be guaranteed, because the purebred wizard seemed to be concentrating on driving behind a problem , "Miss Knowles, can you explain, what does it mean that the rabbit and the sheep are very close?"

Hermione:  …

She doubted her ears a little, "Sorry, I don't quite understand."

Virginia on the co-pilot said loudly, "They all have very good personalities. Of course they don't fight when they live together, so they will be fine!"

"Okay," Draco, who had drank the aging potion, looked around and said blankly, "Go on."

"No more. What else should I say?" Virginia looked blank.

"Have you ever had rabbits?" asked Hermione. "Primary class? I had a hen! It's a pity that she ran away afterwards."

"Selina is also a hen!" Virginia recalled that time, feeling slightly nostalgic, "It's a pity that her hen is so fierce, I was reluctant to give my rabbit to her when I left, so I had to I'll leave it to the teacher in the school's feeding class. But it's good for now, at least I'll eat a lot at Brendon's house."

Draco, who was driving, snorted, but he let go of the question because of this sentence. He patted Virginia's arm, "My magic supplement."

Virginia opened the small drawer in front of her familiarly, and handed him a potion bottle.

"Why do you need to drink aging medicine? Because you need to drive?" Hermione asked puzzled.

"Because of a Muggle business." Draco replied without hesitation. He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Hermione's surprised expression without any surprise.

Hermione's eyes shifted from the youthful Draco to Virginia who was able to use the silent and wandless spell, and her brain was like a river of countless thoughts.

There are so many secrets that people have during the summer vacation.
